Fifty. Phantom

Without waiting for Qin Ming to speak, I looked up at the rooftop upstairs, there would be no mistake, it should be the place where Shu Zhanpeng jumped down, why did he choose to commit suicide? This baffles me even more.

Because it is working time, and most of the people in this community are young people, there are very few people in the community at this time. Thankfully, Yu Kexin was barely able to move around, so she was able to determine what was going on in the room. With her help, we didn't have much effort to enter Shu Zhanpeng's room. Pantene collapsed on her back on the couch, but her exposed ankles were tied. Her hands were also crossed and tied together, still unconscious, and she was still covered with a thin blanket, but probably because Yu Kexin had shaken her, the blanket looked messy.

Yu Kexin's condition is not much better, her legs are still tied, because her hands are tied to her chest, so she can still move, but she can't get the rope for herself, she is holding a clothes pole in her hand, and a coat is put on it, she uses such things to attract our attention. Perhaps it was because of the excessive fright, the moment we broke down the door, she fainted because she was too weak to speak. Two colleagues hurried over to hold her up.

"Such a tragedy could have been avoided." Qin Ming glanced at me, his expression looked very complicated, do you want to blame me? Or are you lamenting the stretch of friends?

Leng Ao, who rushed over later, did not speak, but carefully and quickly collected evidence in the room. Our investigation can only continue after his work is completed. In response to Qin Ming's emotion, I didn't answer.

Ten minutes later. After the evidence was over, I untied the rope from Pantene's body. She had a slipknot on her body. It's easy to unravel. is different from the dead knot tied to Yu Kexin's body. Perhaps, it seems. Shu Zhanpeng still showed mercy to her subordinates. Qin Ming shook Pantene a few times, it seemed that she had something to ask, but obviously Pantene slept very deadly, and there was no sign of waking up at all, and Yu Kexin, after waking up, just glanced at me in a daze, and continued to close her eyes and fall asleep.

Shu Zhanpeng's room also looked messy, with three cups on the coffee table in front of the sofa and a plate full of seasonal fruits. It looks like it's still clean. At the same time, I noticed that Yu Kexin and Pantene were wearing slippers on their feet, the same color and the same size. However, although the room was chaotic, there was no trace of a fight. In other words, they should have been treated with courtesy before the situation escalated. But why did they clash with each other? Is it a premeditated plan by Shu Zhanpeng? Or did it suddenly change, leading to the tragedy that followed? I'm leaning towards the former, though. Just the motivation?

Shu Zhanpeng lives on the top floor, and there is a separate attic upstairs. A wooden staircase leads to the top floor, and the unexpected place is on the landing directly opposite the attic door. Go up the stairs. It was renovated into a separate study, with only a computer desk in addition to the bookshelves. A small door that only allowed one person to bend over led to the rooftop outside. Probably because I live alone. So the rooftop is not completely sealed like other homes. Instead, at the front is a platform about one meter high and half a meter wide. Underneath the platform is a path paved with cobblestones, and four flower pots are scattered on both sides of the path. There are also extinguished cigarette butts in the pots. The half-meter-wide platform was littered with a few small pebbles, the same as the ones laid on the ground.

Leng Ao, who came later, collected evidence on the rooftop. However, the truth is not so optimistic, because the rooftop is full of the same slipper prints, but the worst thing is that perhaps because Shu Zhanpeng rarely greets friends at home on weekdays, the four pairs of slippers stored at home, whether it is the style or shoe size, are exactly the same, just like the shoes on Yu Kexin and Pantene's feet.

"How's the two of them? Is it dangerous? The ambulance had arrived, and they quickly carried Yu Kexin and Pantene onto a stretcher and sent them to the nearest hospital.

Leng Ao shook his head, "I've already checked the cups they drink from, and three of them have powerful sleeping pills in them. I think they just need to get some sleep and wake up quickly. ”

"Three cups?" I was stunned again. Could it be that Shu Zhanpeng deliberately put sleeping pills in all three glasses of water because he was afraid that they would be confused, or suddenly put up the idea of changing the cup?

Leng Ao nodded: "Well, I'm just telling you the facts I found." As for how to investigate the case, that's what you have to do. But you, by now, can you find out what the case is all about? With the addition of the previous deceased, it is already the fourth person. If you don't stop it, do you want the tragedy to continue to happen? Have you realized that you will never be able to find out the results just by relying on your so-called intuition? ”

"No, it won't. I can already guess the truth of the case, and now all that's missing is the between. "I nodded, this is the most cunning part of the murderer, but it is precisely this that exposes his purpose. Perhaps, it only takes a little trickery to make the truth come to light. Until then, I need to be patient.

Qin Ming didn't seem to know what I was thinking all the time, especially when I was talking to Leng Ao, he deliberately dangled around us, but he refused to say anything. His expression was a little puzzled, as if he wanted to interject, but Leng Ao never gave him a chance and deliberately lowered his voice.

"Don't you want to ask me how the things I promised you are doing?" Leng Ao raised his eyes to look at me and asked lightly. "But not asking anything, does it mean trust in me? That's not bad, I did get some out of it, maybe more than you think. And, I have some unexpected discoveries that may help you. ”

"An unexpected discovery?" I was stunned for a moment, it is unlikely that the investigation will have results so quickly, but I know Leng Ao's character too well, he has always been known for his rigorous work, it is absolutely impossible to be joking, "What is that?" ”

"Just as I entered the scene of the crime, someone also appeared." A gleam flashed in Leng Ao's eyes, and he continued: "But I'm not sure who it is, judging by the size, it can definitely be a woman." And...... According to what you said, I specifically checked the door lock, and there are signs of being picked. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. The seal we put on was obviously broken as well. I guess that's the next step for you to continue your investigation, right? (To be continued......)
