Chapter 44 Chapter Four: Mutual Exposure

Because he had heard Asu's narration before, Xiwang asked Lao Zhou to tell the story in as much detail as possible so as not to overlook the details. Lao Zhou tidied up his wet trousers to make his legs more comfortable, and then told how he found the body. I was on the night shift last night, and nothing special happened all night, so when it was almost dawn, I stretched my legs on the table and dozed off next to the chair.Around 7:30, someone suddenly pushed me and almost made me fall off the chair. I was taken aback and woke up immediately. When I opened my eyes, I found that the person with my legs was the director.The director scolded me, saying that it would be troublesome if thieves were allowed in.

The gate of the research institute is equipped with an electronic lock, which can only be opened by swiping a card. If outsiders don't wake me up, they will definitely not be able to enter the gate.However, I checked the surveillance video immediately to make sure that no one entered or exited through the gate all night last night, and the director was a person who came to work today. After watching the surveillance, the director didn't scold me anymore, he just told me not to shoot again, and then went upstairs.I was scolded just now, so I dared not shoot again, so I cheered up and continued to be on duty. Anyway, Xiao Zeng will come over to take over in a short time anyway.

After that, everyone came to work one after another, no different from usual, but Asu from the maintenance department suddenly ran over to me and asked for the key.He said that Xiao Tang had to work overtime last night, and he left the key to Xiao Tang, but today he didn't see Xiao Tang coming over, and he didn't answer his calls, so he asked me to open the door for him with the spare key. I felt strange at the time, I didn't see anyone working overtime last night, only Lawyer Li came over to talk to the director... well, Secretary Yang and the deputy director.After get off work last night, only the four of them remained in the research institute, and I didn't see anyone else.When I checked the surveillance video just now, I didn't see anyone else entering or leaving the institute.

Although I found it strange, I still took out the key and went to open the door with him.According to the regulations of the Institute, the spare key is not allowed to be borrowed.If anyone loses the key, our security guard will personally take the spare key to open the door.If you haven't found your lost key before leaving get off work, you'll have to replace the lock. This rule sounds troublesome, but there are not many places where keys are used in the research institute, and the keys for restrooms and power distribution rooms are placed in the guard room, so when Asu and I asked for a spare key, It took me a long time to remember the combination of the backup key cabinet. I can't remember how long ago I opened this cabinet last time.

I took the keys and went to the maintenance department with Asu. He called Xiaotang while walking, but no one answered. When I walked to the entrance of the maintenance department, I heard a cell phone ringing inside.He said that Xiao Tang must have not taken his mobile phone away, so he overslept.I thought it should be like this, and without thinking too much, I used the key to open the door.Who knew that when the door opened, we were all taken aback. As soon as I opened the door, I saw blood all over the floor and a person lying in the corner, so I went in with Asu to see what was going on.When we walked in, we found that Xiao Tang was lying there, with a knife mark on his neck and blood all over his face.

When I found out that someone had died early in the morning, I was quite panicked.However, I worked as a security guard in a hospital before, and I have seen many dead people, so I still had a little courage, so I dared to check his breath.He didn't get a breath out of his nose, but he'd be damned if he was alive with all the blood on the ground. Seeing that the blood on his face should be flowing from his eyes, I didn't know where the twitching was, and I suddenly wanted to open his eyelids out of curiosity.It’s okay if you don’t turn it over, but once you turn it over, you will be shocked—his eyeballs are gone, and when you open your eyelids, you can only see a scary blood hole.

Asu glanced at it and immediately ran outside to vomit. I was in a daze for a while, and I stayed there not knowing what to do. Fortunately, the director came at this time and immediately called the police. At this time, Asu remembered the key that Xiao Tang was holding, and told me to look inside to see if I could find it.I looked around, but I didn't see the keys, so I squatted down and touched Xiao Tang's pocket. Although I found a bunch of keys, they were not from the maintenance department, but belonged to Xiao Tang's family. I yelled that I couldn't find it, and the director said that if I didn't find it, I would come out quickly, so as not to destroy the evidence at the scene.I think that's right, anyway, the police will come soon, just leave the matter to them.However, just as I was about to go out, I seemed to step on something on the sole of my foot. I looked down and saw that it was a key, and it was the key of the maintenance department...

"Didn't you find the key when you went in?" Xiwang asked. Lao Zhou thought about it carefully, shook his head and replied, "Maybe I was too shocked at the time. I didn't notice the key was on the ground when I went in." Ying Liu, who was asking Li Mei for advice on beauty care, interjected, "Is it possible that after opening the door, someone brought the key in from the outside?" Lao Zhou pondered for a moment, and said in confusion: "To be honest, I also find it very strange. There are only two keys for the maintenance department, one is locked in the backup key cabinet, and the other is the only one left that can lock the door from the outside. Maybe it will appear in the maintenance department? This is unscientific! I have been thinking about this problem all day today, and I think there is only one possibility. Throw the key on the ground."

Li Mei glanced at Sweet Potato coquettishly, and said coquettishly, "Why must Director Su be the one who lost the key, not Director Wang?" Before Uncle Hong opened his mouth to defend himself, Lao Zhou had already refuted for him: "The director never entered the maintenance department from the beginning to the end, how could he throw the key in? And after the director walked over, he kept supporting Asu. Asu must know what he has been acting abnormally." Li Mei smiled coquettishly, and said, "You also entered the maintenance department, and you stayed there longer than Director Su."

"This..." Lao Zhou was at a loss for words, and said nervously to Xi Wang, "Officer, it's not me, I have a pretty good relationship with Xiao Tang, why did he kill him for no reason!" "Then do you know who had a feud with the deceased? Or I can ask more directly, who do you think is the most likely murderer?" Xi Wang asked. It is actually not difficult to solve this secret room murder case. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of bringing the key into the maintenance department after opening the door is relatively high.So now the question is who got the key in and by what means?

Judging from the current situation, Asu and Lao Zhou both entered the maintenance department before they found out that they are the most suspected. Therefore, Xiwang plans to start with the motive of the murder, first identify the suspect and then deduce his modus operandi. "Asu!" Old Zhou replied without hesitation. Xi Wang smiled slyly and said, "I understand your desire to clear yourself of suspicion as soon as possible, but the police must handle cases based on facts. If you want to prove your innocence, you have to tell us the basis for your suspicion of Director Su." "I'm not talking nonsense. The relationship between Asu and Xiaotang has never been good. And since last week, the conflict between them has become more intense..." Old Zhou said with certainty what he had seen and heard in his daily life. Xiao Tang has not been working in the institute for a long time, but we both like football and often chat about football games together, so we are very close.He often speaks bad things about Asu to me, saying that Asu always puts on the airs of his boss, pushes all the work to him, and asks him to work overtime if he can't finish it. He also said that Asu actually didn't understand anything, especially when it came to computers, and he couldn't deal with some very simple problems, but he refused to admit it, and kept telling him: "You can fix such small problems." gone." Anyway, since he started working in the institute, Xiao Tang has never stopped complaining about Asu. He said that Asu is not even worthy of being his apprentice when it comes to technology. own head.If there is a chance, he must prove to everyone that Asu is not worthy to be his boss at all.Just last week, the opportunity he had been waiting for finally appeared. Last week, all the computers in the office suddenly had problems, and they couldn’t be used normally. Even the guard’s computer couldn’t access the system. I was about to go to the maintenance department to ask Xiao Tang to come and fix it, when I saw him walking out with a backpack on his back. I asked him what happened to the computer, and he said that all the computers in the institute were infected with a virus. It should be a local area network virus. Probably some lecherous bastard secretly browsed pornographic websites, infected his computer with a virus, and affected everyone's computers. infected. I asked if there was a way to fix it and he said it was just a matter of moving a few fingers.But he was a little unwell, and wanted to go home and rest, so he asked for a day off.If you want to find him to repair the computer, you can only wait until tomorrow. I asked him what was wrong, and he didn't say anything, just smiled at me slyly.I think he must be feigning illness.Because he knew that Asu couldn't fix the computer, he made things difficult for Asu on purpose.On the second day, he fixed the computer as soon as he got to work, so that everyone would know that he was better than Asu. But people are not as good as heaven, Xiao Tang seems to have underestimated the destructive power of the virus.The next day, he did repair all the computers, but most of the computers lost data, and he couldn't get the lost data back. The deputy director lost his temper because of this incident and scolded him and Asu.The day before yesterday, the deputy director bought a batch of hard drives and asked them to replace all the old hard drives to prevent another virus infection.And said that if this happened again, the two of them would have to pack up and leave immediately. Although Asu didn't dare to say it directly, he hinted to everyone several times that it was just Xiao Tang's good deeds.Because it was a local area network virus that caused the big trouble this time, it could only spread in the local area network. If no one intentionally injected a virus into the computers in the institute, it would be impossible for all the computers to have problems. Asu knew that Xiao Tang deliberately made him look ugly, so he naturally felt resentful, and it was reasonable to want Xiao Tang's life.Moreover, I heard from Xiao Zeng that after Asu left work, Xiao Tang was nowhere to be seen... Lao Zhou spouted bad things about Asu, although the purpose was to clear himself of the suspicion, but what he said was not unreasonable.After all, Aso was the last person to meet the dead. "When did Director Su leave the institute yesterday?" Xi Wang asked. Lao Zhou replied: "About six o'clock in the afternoon, he left work with everyone." Uncle Hong added: "The normal off-duty time of the institute is six in the afternoon." According to Fleeting Years' estimation, the time of death of the deceased was between 6 and 8 o'clock last night. If Asu killed someone and pretended to go home from get off work as if nothing had happened, he could indeed get away with it.However, Lao Zhou stayed in the research institute on duty all night, and he also had plenty of time to kill Tang Yong and forge the mystery of the murder in the secret room. Judging from the known information, both Asu and Lao Zhou are likely to commit murder, and Asu has more motives to kill.However, this is only a preliminary judgment, maybe he can get a statement that is unfavorable to Lao Zhou from Asu.After all, this matter is related to his own vital interests, and Asu will definitely not have any reservations. But before questioning Asu, Xiwang wanted to go to the scene of the murder to check.Everyone has their own standpoint, and everyone has their own subjective judgment on the same matter, and even lie for their own benefit.Therefore, non-speaking evidence can often restore the truth of the facts more "honestly".Of course, to know the truth, the "lie" deliberately arranged by the murderer must first be exposed. Just as Xiwang was about to go to the murder scene to investigate, there was a knock on the door. Before Uncle Hong could answer, a fat man in his forties pushed the door in.If someone wanted to see Uncle Hong, they would usually pass it on to the secretary first, and this person didn't even have to wait for Uncle Hong's response, which shows that he is not an ordinary employee.Judging by his bright clothes, Xi Wang thinks that he should be Chen Liang, the deputy director of the research institute. As soon as the man entered the door, he yelled at Uncle Hong: "Old Wang, it is raining heavily outside, and many roads have been flooded by the rain. The city government has just issued an early warning notice, asking all units to take precautions. Do you think it is time to let employees get off work." "Hey, deputy director, isn't it just raining a little bit harder, don't be so anxious, Director Wang will take care of it." Li Mei said to the man. Uncle Hong looked at the heavy rain outside the window, then looked at his watch, and said, "It's almost time to get off work, so go and inform everyone, and go home from get off work now, but check whether the doors and windows are closed before you leave. Tell Asu from the maintenance department not to leave, the police have something to ask him later." He introduced Xiwang and Yingliu to the other party. Chen Liang nodded to Li Mei, went forward to shake hands with Xi Wang and Ying Liu respectively, and said, "You two police officers, I'm so sorry, I have something to do now, I'll come and sit with you later." He hurriedly left the office. "Lawyer Li, do you want to go back first?" Uncle Hong asked Li Mei, then turned to look out the window, "I'm afraid this rain will last all night." "Rainy nights are the most likely to make people feel lonely!" Li Mei coquettishly said, "Instead of staying at home alone, it's better to stay here for a while. I'm really looking forward to seeing the police officer arrest the murderer." "It would be best if Li Dazhuang would like to stay." Xi Wang smiled slyly, "During the time when the deceased was killed, you seemed to be in the research institute, right?" "Handsome guy, you don't suspect that I'm a murderer, do you?!" Li Mei winked at him. Xi Wang replied seriously: "Before the truth is found out, I will remove everyone who may commit the crime from the list of suspects." "Then Director Wang is also suspicious!" Li Mei cast a provocative look at Xi Wang, then turned to look at Uncle Hong, "I stayed with him all night last night."
