I stopped the car and saw several police cars, ambulances, and black box cars parked at the entrance of the building. I got out of the car, and a police officer came towards me with a walkie-talkie in his hands. While walking towards me, he said to the walkie-talkie, "Colonel, Wesley is here!" He pressed a button, and immediately I heard the colonel's voice: "Please come up quickly!" I was stunned for a while: "Where is the colonel?" The police officer pointed upwards, "On the rooftop." I took a few steps back and looked up, only to realize that there were many people on the roof of the building. I could vaguely recognize the colonel, although he looked very small on the 20-storey roof. Waving to me, I immediately walked into the lobby of the building.

The police officer entered the elevator with me, and I asked, "The body was found on the roof?" The police officer said: "Yes, one of Chen Mao's friends came to him and found that Chen Mao was not there. He went upstairs to the roof and found the body. He immediately came down to call the police." I frowned: "Why is the colonel looking for me?" The officer shrugged and said he didn't know why.I looked up and looked at the row of lights above the elevator, the numbers were constantly beating, and after a while, I reached the top floor. The police officer and I got out of the elevator, and we heard the colonel's roar, saying, "Wesley, where have you been? I wanted to find you on a serious matter, but I never found it."

As I went up the stairs, I said, "You'd better practice telepathy, then you can find anyone you want!" I jumped onto the roof, and Colonel Jack greeted me and shook my hand vigorously. Whenever he shakes my hand so vigorously, I always think that at that moment, what the Colonel must have in mind is how to throw me unexpectedly, and then he laughs! Regardless of whether I was right or not, the colonel did have a challenging look on his face at this moment. I saw a lot of people on the roof. Colonel Jack let go of my hand, turned around, and walked to the edge of the roof. I saw a white cloth covering a dead body. Jack leaned over and uncovered the white cloth. Suppressing a feeling of nausea, I watched the corpse.

For a moment, I only felt strange and inexplicable in my heart. Chen Mao's body made me feel cold all over my body, and I immediately looked up at Jack again. Jack let go, and the white cloth covered the corpse again. I opened my mouth wide, unable to speak.The colonel took a breath first, and then asked, "Look, how did he die?" Still speechless, I looked up at the sky. On the roof, of course there is nothing else, just God, Jack seemed to know why I looked up at this time, and he asked again: "How do you think he died?" I also took a deep breath, collected myself, and asked, "Has the body been moved?"

Colonel Jack shook his head and said: "No, according to all the signs, he died here as soon as he died. After he died, there was absolutely no sign of being moved, absolutely not!" I can also believe this, because it is easy to see whether a body has been moved or not. However, how is that possible? I finally cried out: "However, that's impossible, he fell from a high place and died!" As I said that, I pointed at Chen Mao's body. It was for this reason that I felt chills all over my body just after looking at it.Because, with Chen Mao's broken arms and broken feet, one can tell at a glance that he fell to his death from a high place!

Impossibility and weirdness are here, because this is already the rooftop of a twenty-story building. Chen Mao's body had not been moved, and he fell to his death from a height, so where did he fall from?Is it in mid-air? My thoughts were dazzled, while thinking, while shaking my head involuntarily. Colonel Jack smiled wryly: "Why did I ask you to come? Unfortunately, the two of us agree on the cause of his death!" I shouted: "Anyone can see that he fell to his death, and it was from a very high place!" The colonel nodded again and said, "Yes, the forensic doctor said that even if he jumped from the roof and fell to the ground, he wouldn't be injured like that. He fell from a very high place!"

Involuntarily, I looked up and asked, "Where did he fall from?" The colonel stretched out his hand and pressed my shoulder: "The only possibility, of course, is that a plane or a helicopter flies over the building, and Chen Mao fell out of it!" I shook my head: "You don't have to tell a joke, I know, neither you nor I can laugh." As expected, the colonel couldn't laugh. Instead of laughing, he sighed deeply: "That's why I was so eager to find you. It's so weird!" I looked at the colonel, and suddenly, I remembered Luo Ding's words. He once said that the elevator kept going upwards, and after it finally stopped, he opened the door of a unit until he reached the balcony. It was a piece of gray that really surprised him. If he suddenly fell out of the balcony at that time, where would he have fallen?I slowly told the colonel what I thought, and the colonel smiled wryly: "You want me to believe that the elevators of this building emerge from the top of the building and continue to go up?"

I said: "At least Luo Ding has such an experience." The colonel said: "You are wrong, Luo Ding comes and goes, but he is still in this building!" I also smiled wryly: "Then, you want me to believe that if the elevator keeps going up, the building will grow taller?" The colonel said loudly: "There is no problem with the elevator. Maybe the elevator stopped for a while. The people in the elevator didn't know it. They thought the fixed ladder was going up all the time!" I shook my head: "Colonel, I don't want to quarrel with you, but where did Chen Mao fall from?"

When we said this, the forensic doctor and a police officer came over and whispered to the colonel. The colonel nodded, and the stretcher was carried over, and Chen Mao's body was moved on it and carried away. Indeed, Chen Mao's body had not been moved, because after the body was carried away, a large puddle of blood was left on the gray brick surface of the roof. If the body had been moved, it should not be anywhere else, and there was no blood at all. From this, it can be seen that Chen Mao fell from the sky and fell to the roof to die! I pressed my fingers hard on my forehead, but that didn't make me clearer, but made my thoughts more confused.

The colonel turned around: "Wei, I don't think it's convenient for the police to conduct false investigations on this matter—" He paused for a while, and I already understood what he meant: "I know, like several times before, I will conduct a private investigation, and the police will give me all the convenience." The colonel nodded, and I blurted out: "Then, the first thing I have to do is to interrogate Luo Ding again!" The colonel frowned: "Is this necessary?" I said: "Of course there are. Up to now, in the elevator of this building, there have been three people who have had strange encounters. My assumption is Luo Ding, Xiao Guo and Chen Mao—"

Jack nodded: "I understand. Chen Mao is dead, and Xiao Guo's whereabouts are unknown. Luo Ding is the only one who can provide information." I also nodded and said: "So, I want to question him!" Jack said: "However, he seems to have told all about what happened to him. Do you think he still has something to hide?" I said with certainty: "Yes, I think he still has something to hide, and I can specifically say that what he hides is that after he finally got out of the elevator, he encountered some things that he didn't say!" Colonel Jack paced back and forth a few times: "But he said that you were harassing him—how about it, let the police come forward and arrange a meeting. I hope you don't push him too much, because we have no evidence for our interrogation of him!" I thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but I'm afraid I won't be of any use!" Colonel Jack sighed and looked up into the sky. I know what he was thinking when he was looking at the sky. He must be thinking, where did Chen Mao fall from? I didn't stay on the roof of this building any longer, I bid farewell to the colonel, and I didn't go to Xiao Guo's detective agency again, I just found a very secluded place, I needed silence. The secluded place I went to was called the "Silencers' Club". The most important condition for joining this club was silence. In the elegantly furnished club, when I went, there were already quite a few people there, but everyone treated the rest of them like wooden figures, without even looking at them, let alone chatting. I sat down on a comfortable sofa in a corner, resting my head on my hands, and began to meditate. In fact, my mind was so cluttered that I had nothing to think about, and I tried to put the whole thing together—a habit I have when faced with intractable things. But I immediately discovered that I couldn't even do this, because the matter itself was utterly unreasonable. It was absolutely impossible for the elevator in this building to emerge from the building and continue to go up! If this is impossible, then, should Luo Ding's words be completely denied? When I thought of this, the lightning in my brain seemed to light up, and my body shook involuntarily. Until now, everything I have done has been based on the fact that "there is a strange thing in the elevator-the elevator keeps going up", and if there is no such thing as a "weird thing in the elevator", then I am not always Heading down a wrong path? The reason why "The Strange Thing in the Elevator" impressed me so deeply is naturally because of Luo Ding's narration.But what if Luo Ding was lying and everything was fabricated by him? I felt that I had caught something, I was very straight, and my eyes were wide open.In other places, someone would definitely come up and ask me what's wrong, but here, no one will disturb my train of thought. If everything was completely fabricated by Luo Ding—this is very possible, because no one knows what happened to him in the elevator—then what is Luo Ding's purpose? Luo Ding has only one purpose: that is, he really encountered something in the elevator, but he concealed the truth of the incident, and replaced it with "the elevator keeps going up" lie. One advantage of fabricating the lie that "the elevator keeps going up" is that everyone knows that it is impossible, so various experts will come to explain that this is a psychological illusion, so, again No one will go to the bottom of what happened to him in the elevator! When I came to this preliminary conclusion, I was extremely excited. But, next, I asked myself: what kind of accident did Xiao Guo encounter in the elevator? Is what happened to Xiao Guo the same as Luo Ding? Why did the two have the same experience, Xiao Guo disappeared, but Luo Ding was fine? Thinking about it this way, it seems that my previous idea is no longer valid.My thoughts were very chaotic, thinking over and over again, and I sat there for nearly two hours before I left. After I left, I made a phone call with Colonel Jack. The colonel told me that I had made an appointment with Luo Ding to meet him in his office at 7:00 pm. I idled away the rest of the time, and at seven o'clock I arrived at Jack's office. Colonel Jack shook hands with me, and Rodin hadn't come yet.The colonel said to me: "Wei, I think Luo Ding has a certain dislike for you. If you ask him, you will definitely not be able to ask anything." I was stunned for a while: "But I have to ask him, because I already have a new idea. I don't think he is hiding anything, but everything he said is a lie." Jack looked at me, and I could see in his face that he was very displeased with me. He forced a smile: "Anyway, your attitude should be gentler!" I couldn't help getting a little angry, and said loudly: "What? I look like a pirate now?" Just as Jack was about to answer me, a police officer came in with Luo Ding, so he turned to greet Luo Ding. As soon as Luo Ding entered the office, he caught me. I saw him startled for a moment, showing a very unnatural expression. Although he and the colonel had been perfunctory in their mouths, his eyes kept looking at me, and, in his His eyes were full of hostility. Colonel Jack was explaining to Luo Ding why he was invited to meet me, but I doubted whether Luo Ding had heard it, so when the colonel stopped talking for a while, I immediately asked: "Mr. Remember Chen Mao, the manager of that building?" Luo Ding half turned around, his body seemed a little stiff, he said: "Remember!" I immediately said: "Chen Mao is dead, he was murdered!" As soon as I said this, Luo Ding showed a formulaic look of astonishment, while the colonel glared at me a little angrily. I understand why the colonel glared at me. He is a police officer. In the mind of a police officer, the word "murder" cannot be used casually. There must be certain evidence. In fact, Chen Mao's death was only full of mystery, and it did not prove that he was murdered. And I said this on purpose, and I also have a purpose, I want Luo Ding to feel that the situation is serious, so that I can warn him to stop talking nonsense! I ignored how the colonel glared at me, and put an enlarged photo in front of Luo Ding. That photo was of Chen Mao's dead body on the rooftop. The photo was clearly taken. Luo Ding only lowered his eyelids, glanced at the photo, and immediately raised his head again: "It's terrible!" I said again: "Chen Mao fell to his death from a high place!" Hearing what I said, Luo Ding was stunned again, and looked down at the photo: "Did he fall to his death from a high place? He seems to have died on the roof!" I deliberately laughed out loud: "That's right, he died on the roof, and there was no sign that the body had been moved. This kind of murder has an advantage, that is, it can make people believe that the elevator is constantly going up. , it really happened!" Luo Ding's complexion became extremely ugly in an instant, his lips moved, trying to say something, but he couldn't make a sound, while I didn't relax and continued to attack him. I said again: "So, I think Chen Mao's death, Mr. Luo, has a lot to do with you!" Luo Dinghuo stood up and turned to Jack: "What does this person mean by saying this? Is the police intending to sue me? If so, I will notify the lawyer!" Colonel Jack quickly comforted Luo Ding, while staring at me fiercely. When Luo Ding sat down again, the colonel frowned: "Wesley, your words are too much!" I sneered: "I never accused Mr. Luo of being the murderer of Chen Mao. I just said that Chen Mao's death had something to do with Mr. Luo, so why be nervous!" Luo Ding said sharply, "What's the matter?" I was unmoved, and still said coldly: "It doesn't matter, it's hard to say, it depends on what happened to you in the elevator of this building that day." Luo Ding's expression became more and more angry: "What have I encountered? I have already said it!" I said: "Yes, you said, the elevator has been going up for nearly twenty minutes. However, Mr. Luo, there will be no such thing in the world!" Luo Ding's face flushed red: "Maybe it's my illusion, the elevator stopped in the middle, how do I know?" I reached out and pointed at him: "Of course you know, because you never told what happened to you!" Luo Ding stood up again, slapped my hand away angrily, and shouted: "Absurd! It's ridiculous, why did the police do such a silly thing? I'm sorry, I'm leaving!" As he said that, he turned and walked out the door. I didn't chase him, but just sneered: "Mr. Luo, Chen Mao is dead, Mr. Guo is missing, and his whereabouts are unknown. I hope you will think about it for yourself!" There is actually no purpose for me to say this, but I feel that in all kinds of incredible events, anyone can smell that there is a strong smell of crime, and I conclude that Luo Ding has lied or concealed part of it. In fact, he may have surrendered to a certain force in doing so, so I say so. I never thought that Luo Ding's reaction to my words would be so strong! At that time, he was almost at the door and didn't stop, but as soon as I said the words, there was a "bang" sound, and Luo Ding hit the door with his whole body! If a person was not extremely shocked, he would never have acted in such a panic. My heart suddenly moved, and I added: "It's better to tell us the truth!" The colonel looked at me strangely, and Luo Ding had turned around. Luo Ding's expression was pale, so the red patch on his forehead seemed particularly eye-catching. After he turned around, he looked directly at me, his eyelids kept twitching, and he seemed to be blinking continuously. This movement was obviously caused by his being overly shocked and unable to control himself. I just looked at him coldly and didn't say a word. The colonel raised his eyebrows. I know that the colonel certainly doesn't like me dealing with Luo Ding in this way, but he also hopes that I can treat Luo Ding like this. , ask something. The silence lasted for a full two minutes before Luo Ding said in a very dry voice: "What do you think will happen to me?" My answer came very quickly, because I had already thought about how to deal with Luo Ding! I immediately said: "That depends on what happened to you!" It seems that Luo Ding has calmed down, he sneered: "I don't understand what you are talking about!" After he said this sentence, he paused again, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and said again: "You are really a person who makes trouble out of nothing!" I wasn't angry, I just said: "I'm not making trouble for nothing, you know, one person is missing and one person is dead!" Luo Ding's expression seemed to be calmer, he said coldly: "People disappear every day, and people die every day!" I sneered and said, "But not everyone is related to that building and that elevator!" Luo Ding didn't say anything more, and I could see that he was avoiding my gaze on purpose, he turned his head slightly and looked at Jack: "Can I go?" Colonel Jack shook hands: "Mr. Luo, we invited you here just to ask for your help. If you can provide the real situation that day, then it will be of great help to us!" Luo Ding said indifferently: "I'm very sorry, I have already told the situation of that day many times!" Colonel Jack looked at me, and I had no choice but to smile wryly and spread my hands. The colonel smiled helplessly: "You can go, Mr. Luo, but we still hope to get your cooperation!" Luo Ding snorted, and turned around again. This time, he didn't bump into the door, and opened the door smoothly, and walked out. As soon as Luo Ding left, Colonel Jack began to complain to me: "What can you get out of asking?" I said loudly: "At least, now I can be more sure that he has ghosts in his heart!" Colonel Jack couldn't disagree with my judgment, because a person, if he didn't have a ghost in his heart, would never be panic-stricken after hearing a false threat from me, and agree with it! I said again: "Colonel, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I still have to work on him to find out the answer to the whole matter!" Colonel Jack was a little helpless, he stayed for a while, and then said: "Okay, but don't harass him anymore, it seems that he is not easy to deal with, and when the law is really needed, he has the upper hand!" I took a breath. Although the colonel's words were not pleasant, they were telling the truth. I thought for a moment: "Don't worry, I will pay attention." I also left the Colonel's office, and, with a new decision. From the second day on, I selected five of the most clever and capable employees from Xiao Guo's detective agency to be with me, a total of six people, and we were divided into six shifts twenty-four hours a day. The four-hour shift monitored Luo Ding day and night. The six of us all wear the walkie-talkies provided by Colonel Jack, and we can communicate at any time. I can also use the walkie-talkies to ask the people who follow and monitor Luo Ding about Luo Ding's whereabouts at any time. It was monitored for four days in a row. During these four days, there was no progress at all. Xiao Guo is still lost in the sea, nowhere to be found, all the forces that can be mobilized to find him have been mobilized, and they are trying their best to search like this. It is said that even a lost mouse can be found, but Xiao Guo Still no audio. I dare not go to see Mrs. Guo, because a person who has been missing for so long and has no news at all, the most likely possibility is that the disaster has already happened. How can I tell Mrs. Guo such a thing? Because of a murder case, that building has been repeatedly guarded by the police. The police have also contacted the owner. Wang Zhiyi's answer is very generous. Anyway, there is no buyer for his building. If there is a murder case, it may take a while longer. , No one cared about it, and the police sent someone to guard him, and he never objected.
