"So …" Ran Tao stood in the lobby of the first floor of Chenyang House and said, "Although there is a surveillance camera, the computer that stores the hard drive is not in the guard room, but in the building?"
"Yes," Wu Xiumin, who was lying on Ran Tao's shoulder, murmured. "When the surveillance system was installed, the outside of Chenyang House was still under planning, and the guard room was in the building!
Later, after the planning was completed, the guard room was moved to the entrance, but the computer was left in the building! "
"Oh …" Ran Tao pondered and said, "In this case, the murderer must have killed the victim first, then dealt with the surveillance hard drive?
Because, if he destroyed the hard drive first, he might be discovered by the guard outside? "
"You're just spouting nonsense!" Wu Xiumin squinted and said, "In addition to the victim, he also had a lot of sacrificial items. Naturally, he killed the victim first!
Besides, there was no surveillance camera in the bathroom. As long as he entered the bathroom, he wouldn't be discovered! "
"Oh, okay then!" Ran Tao said, "Let's go upstairs first!"
Then, Ran Tao carried Wu Xiumin and walked upstairs.
"But," Wu Xiumin said, "Not many people know that the surveillance computer is in the building. When we go back, we can check if Zhang Shixiong knows about this!"
"Oh, it's so hot!" Ran Tao was sweating profusely. "Was the day the murderer committed the crime also this hot? Could it be that his sweat also dripped onto the ground? "
"I don't know if the murderer sweated or not," Wu Xiumin joked. "But, he definitely wasn't as long-winded as you are!"
"Oh," Ran Tao said. "Alright, I didn't say you were heavy! Zhang Qile must have been much lighter than you … "
"You really don't know how to talk," Wu Xiumin said angrily. "Don't you know that talking about a girl's weight has serious consequences?"
"A girl?" Ran Tao said seriously. "Come on, you're older than me! You can't call me a girl, can you? "
"F * ck!" Wu Xiumin was so angry that she pinched Ran Tao's ear.
"Hey, hey, hey … Can you be more professional?" Ran Tao gritted his teeth in pain. "You're playing the victim now. If you pinch the murderer's ear, isn't it the same as a corpse coming back to life?"
"Hey, you're really asking for a beating!" Wu Xiumin said. "I must have been blind to simulate the crime scene with you! If I had known earlier, I would have swapped places with you!
"Maybe I'll really kill you!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'm dirtier than you think!" Ran Tao said. "It's because we have such a big boss!
"To be honest, Boss isn't here this time, so I don't feel confident." Ran Tao glanced at the dark corridor and said, "I thought I was back at the scene of the Ghost King Case again!
"I remember that in the academy of the Ghost King Case, Boss also brought us to the simulation scene in the middle of the night. Aiyo, that was really scary … Aiyo, aiyo …"
While Ran Tao was panting, they finally arrived at the door of the bathroom on the third floor.
The bathroom door was usually open. Ran Tao carried Wu Xiumin with one hand and opened the wooden door with the other.
Creak …
The wooden door made a creepy squeaking sound, and Ran Tao broke out in a cold sweat. His body trembled slightly.
It was dark in the room, so Ran Tao lit a lighter with one hand and walked carefully to the bathtub.
"Xiumin, I … I put you in there," Ran Tao said in a trembling voice. "Since it's a simulated murder case, we have to be more serious!
"You … Um … You don't mind, do you? This bathtub … It seems to have been cleaned … "
Suddenly, Wu Xiumin stopped talking.
"Hey …" Ran Tao asked again, "I … I put you in there, but don't be angry. We're all doing this for the case, for the case …"
Then, Ran Tao gently put Wu Xiumin into the bathtub. After that, he found that Wu Xiumin was not moving at all, as if she was really unconscious.
"Xiumin, Xiumin … Hey …" Ran Tao was anxious, so he whispered, "You … Are you asleep?"
In the end, Wu Xiumin suddenly opened her eyes and roared.
"Wow!"
"Ah …" Ran Tao was already very nervous. Wu Xiumin's sudden roar scared him out of his wits and he fell to the ground on his butt.
"Haha … Hahaha …" Then, Wu Xiumin's laughter came from the bathtub. "Look at you! You're still so timid!"
"D * mn …" Ran Tao rubbed his pale face, gritted his teeth, and scolded, "What are you doing? Is this fun? "
"I told you," Wu Xiumin said stubbornly, "There's a price to pay for talking about a woman's age and weight! Do you believe me now? "
"Huh?" Just then, Ran Tao suddenly pointed behind Wu Xiumin and made a frightened look. "You … Behind you …"
However, Wu Xiumin didn't fall for his trick. Instead, she took off her shoes and threw them at Ran Tao's face.
…
Ten minutes later, Wu Xiumin opened her eyes and lay in the bathtub.
She spread her hands and simulated the scene of the murderer cutting her wrists.
Ran Tao gestured and said, "I think, after the murderer came in, he first put the victim into the bathtub, took off her clothes, and then filled her with water."
"Then, he began to set up incense, candles, statues, and other sacrificial items. After that, the last step was to kill the victim!"
"But …" Ran Tao scratched his head and said, "We still haven't found any flaws in the murderer's plan.
When the ceremony was over, he packed up his things and left. The burned candles and some charcoal ashes were left at the scene. "
"We still can't prove that the murderer is Zhang Shixiong."
Wu Xiumin said, "Although the light from the candles was weak, and the curtains were drawn, if someone was paying attention to this place, they should still be able to see it!"
Ran Tao said, "It's a pity that no one paid attention to this place. After all, who would look out of the window in the middle of the night?"
Wu Xiumin reminded him, "Ran Tao, you'd better look out and see if there's anything out there."
"Okay!"
Ran Tao walked to the window and looked out. It was late at night, and he didn't see anything unusual.
Wu Xiumin said, "After killing the victim, the murderer packed up his things. Wait a minute."
Wu Xiumin guessed, "If the murderer is really Zhang Shixiong, then he's obviously imitating the crime," Wu Xiumin said. "Since there were white candles and charcoal ashes at the scene, it means that Zhang Shixiong also knows the sacrificial ceremony of the Luofu Path!
So, we can almost be sure that Zhang Shixiong must have seen or even learned the Luofu Path.
If Peter did it to perfect his body, and Zhang Fengyi did it to defeat her illness, then … Why did Zhang Shixiong do it? "
Ran Tao asked, "Could it be that he has some kind of hidden illness? Why don't we give him a checkup? Or, ask his ex-girlfriend? "
