i must be in hell

"Have you noticed?"

Ning Xiao said: "Although this building and the church are separated by a road, they are actually not that far apart."

When he said this, he was in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Zhou Yang's office. The sunlight outside the window shone from behind him, but the shadow did not stay inside the room.

"Based on the horizontal distance, the distance between the church and the office building is only 15 meters at most. The cross on the top of the church and the fifth floor of the office building will appear closer in space because there are no other buildings in between."

Ning Xiao motioned the people behind him to observe the direction his fingers were pointing.

Indeed, not far away, the white cross stood alone.Because there are no barriers from vehicles or doors and walls, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking at the past, it seems that the cross is close in front of you.In fact, this is not just a visual illusion, but also contains a big secret.

Just now, after returning to this room with Xu Shangyu, Ning Xiao consolidated the messy thoughts in his head, and finally sorted out this murder case in a secret room.

With his back to the crowd, he raised his hands as if spreading his wings. The sunlight passed through his back, and his figure overlapped with the cross in the distance, making him look like the Son of God enshrined on the cross.

"Killing is such an easy thing. As long as a human being has the intention to kill, he always has 1000 million ways to kill a life."

Ning Xiao turned his head and looked at Xu Shangyu.

"When Zhang Weiwei and I passed by this place several times, he said that he saw a black cat under the cross. I didn't understand it at first, and I didn't realize it until today. heart and hatred."

Both Lu Fei and Zhao Yun were confused by his sudden artistic style, only Xu Shangyu walked to Ning Xiao's side and stood side by side with him.Feeling the sunlight caressing on his back behind him, he looked at the cross and the indelible black shadow around him, and smiled.

"No, what Weiwei saw was indeed a black cat, bringing the ominousness of death."

Time to return to the conference room.

In front of everyone, Xu Shangyu pointed to a geometric figure and said that it was the murder weapon, which has confused many people.After the silence, the wise man thought he had been deceived, and was about to scold Captain Xu for fooling people innocently.

Xu Shangyu has already spoken again: "The murder weapon is not just a sharp weapon in the impression of ordinary people. In my opinion, as long as it can kill, even a piece of white paper, a silk thread, or even a burst of breathing can become a murder weapon. And this The murder weapon this time was a room——Zhou Yang's office."

Zhou Yang's office, Zhou Yang was actually killed by his office?This is too far-fetched.

"Please look at this picture carefully. Although it has simple lines and numbers, it hides the secret of Zhou Yang's death. It is not so much a murder weapon as evidence. Please see, this long line represents exactly this An office building, and the short line is a church."

"The horizontal distance between the office building and the church is exactly 15 meters, and the vertical drop between the fifth floor of the office building and the cross of the church is [-] meters. A few days ago, when the weather was fine, and it was about this time, my son Every time he passed downstairs, he would say he saw a cat lying on a cross."

cat?Everyone was puzzled, what does this have to do with cats?

Xu Shangyu laughed.

"Leave the cat aside, let's talk about Zhou Yang's death. A person in his own office, no matter what, will not fall carelessly. Even if the window is wide open, an adult can fall. There are railings and barriers. , with the fear of heights in his heart, the tragedy of falling to death will not happen to normal people. However, Zhou Yang is different."

"He didn't commit suicide."

"It wasn't pure accident either."

"It was a murder deliberately disguised as accident."

Xu Shangyu clapped his hands, motioning for everyone to look over.He stood at the edge of the conference room, where there was a bookshelf.

"Suppose I want to get a book first. It was originally placed on this floor, as long as I reach out, I can get it." He said, taking a book from a certain floor of the bookshelf. "But what if the book is moved?"

Xu Shangyu stood on the chair and put the book on the top of the bookshelf.That height was difficult for him to reach while standing on the ground, but he seemed to be able to reach it by standing on tiptoe and pushing hard.

"As you can see. At this height, if I want to take a book away, I will inevitably have to stand on tiptoes and lean forward. At this time, all my attention is on the book, and it is impossible to notice the surroundings. Something's wrong."

Xu Shangyu said: "Suppose, at this moment, what is beside me is not a wall, but an open floor-to-ceiling window. Then suppose that I am holding on to the railing to reach this book. Then, if the railing is tampered with, it will not be able to support an adult. Human weight. What happens next?"

"I want to do something like this. First of all, the murderer can enter and leave Zhou Yang's office freely. He knows the layout of Zhou Yang's office, he can tamper with the railing without being noticed, and he can move the items on Zhou Yang's bookshelf without being suspected." , and can even take away the key item that killed Zhou Yang immediately after the incident. This item, where it was originally placed, was reached by Zhou Yang, but it was moved to the top of the bookshelf on the day of the incident. I am eager to get this item Zhou Yang didn’t think about moving the chair at all, but stepped on his feet to get it. Then, pa—”

He let go of the book in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a snap.With a soft sound, it hit everyone's heart heavily.

No one dared to speak. They looked at the book that was still on the ground by Xu Shangyu, as if they saw Zhou Yang who was bloody and bloody.

"Zhou Yang just died like this." Xu Shangyu looked at the books on the ground, a cold light flashed in his eyes. "It is estimated that at the moment of his death, he didn't know that someone was trying to murder him. And the murderer probably didn't expect that the plan that was originally foolproof would be exposed because of the bright sunshine, the right angle, and a child's unintentional glance. Flaw. The lure placed on the bookshelf, because of the perfect projection angle, left a shadow on the opposite cross. So everyone knows that what the child sees on the cross is not a cat at all, but a murderer The shadow of the lure used to murder Zhou Yang."

He smiled and looked at everyone. "Do you know what the child said when he saw the black shadow a few seconds before the accident? He said that the black cat climbed higher. Yes, because the murderer's fangs were exposed at that time. It was not the black cat that climbed, but the It is the murderer's desire to kill."

The placement of the items has been raised one notch, so in Zhang Weiwei's eyes, it seemed that the black cat nestled under the cross climbed onto the cross.Also because of this small change in height, Zhou Yang lost his life.

After Zhou Yang's death, who would pay attention to the bookshelf in an office, who would care about the placement of the items on it, and who would carefully observe the shadow on the cross?This would have been a seamless murder, which makes people feel chilling.What is even more shocking is that such a flawless layout was actually discovered by the criminal police in front of them.

The most feared person is undoubtedly the murderer.

Xu Shangyu and the criminal police carefully observed everyone's expressions, and slowly said: "After the incident, the murderer took away the object that put Zhou Yang to death. According to the traces left at the scene, it can be judged that it was a round object with a base. According to the measurement calculation, at least a [-] to [-] centimeters can leave a shadow on the cross. There can be many such specifications in the office building, but its only characteristic is that nothing else Possessed - Zhou Yang's fingerprints, and the murderer's fingerprints."

Everyone was shocked.

Xu Shangyu looked at his watch.

"Twenty-ten minutes have passed since I entered the meeting room. Since the incident, no one has been released from the entire building. The murderer and the murder weapon are still in the building. While explaining the cause of Zhou Yang's death to you, our other team Colleagues are searching the lockers of employees throughout the company, and I believe the results will come out in less than 10 minutes."

He looked around everyone present like an eagle.

"At this time, you still have the last 5 minutes to surrender yourself, have you considered it?"

This sentence was obviously addressed to the murderer, and everyone present was a little startled, looking around suspiciously, trying to find out the suspicious person who most resembled the murderer.And Xu Shangyu stood there leisurely, waiting for Ning Xiao's text message.

At this time, Ning Xiao was standing at the door of a lounge.The lounge door was locked from the inside, and he couldn't open it.At this time, a criminal police member ran over.

"Consultant Ning, I have checked the lockers and desks of the employees, but I didn't find that thing!"

Ning Xiao frowned, this was not right with his prediction.

"Is there anything else that hasn't been checked?"

"Only this room is left." The detective said: "I asked someone just now, this room is the chairman's lounge, and it is for Yuan Fei's exclusive use. He went in half an hour ago, and never came out again."

Yuan Fei, the suspicion seems to be on this person again.

Ning Xiao asked: "Do you have the key?"

"I'll ask." The criminal policeman turned around and ran, creating a gust of wind.No, it didn't bring the wind, but the wind passed through the crack of the lounge door and blew onto his face.Ning Xiao's expression changed immediately, and he called to stop.

"Wait a minute, don't go! Just knock the door open!"

"But……"

"It's nothing! Break the lock with a gun and charge straight in!" Ning Xiao's face turned pale.

The wind that can pass through the cracks in the door and blow directly on people's faces is so strong that it is definitely not what a lounge should have. It is more like a strong wind that blows through the surface of the building and penetrates into the building.

It was someone who opened the window.

This was the last thought in Ning Xiao's mind, but he hadn't had time to tell the criminal police the reason, and he hadn't had time to break open the gate.

There was a faint bang through the door, which completely sank his heart into the bottom of the sea.

That was the second such sound he heard today.
