Chapter 46: The Earl's Fall (3)

Apart from this strange cocktail glass inside the chairman's office, no suspicious clues were found.

Walking to the edge of the floor-to-ceiling window, because the windows are covered with a layer of blackout film, coupled with the restricted viewing angle in the window, it is difficult to judge the position of Mu Wei after falling from the window in the dark night. So I decided to go outside and look for a breakthrough.

Walking out of the office, I looked at the monitoring position outside the door, thinking in my heart that this power outage must have a great relationship with Mu Wei's fall from the building. In previous cases, there was also a modus operandi of interrupting surveillance by cutting off the power supply, and in such cases, it is likely that there was a premeditated internal crime.

Standing at the door of the office, I looked around for a moment, and then asked Captain Gu, "Is there a balcony on this floor, or a platform that extends outward?" ”

Captain Gu said, "Yes." ”

"Take me to see it."

So under the leadership of Captain Gu, we entered the luxurious restaurant on this floor, walked through the restaurant, came to the back kitchen, opened an iron door, and I felt a gust of wind blowing in.

Captain Gu pointed outside and said, "This is it, this is the only balcony on the top floor. ”

I walked up to the balcony and found that it was not strictly a balcony, but a platform in the architectural design, the rooftop of the floor below, to be exact. And it is obviously impossible for Mu Wei to fall from this position, because this rooftop is located at the back of the building, which is diametrically opposed to the position where Mu Wei landed.

But it can't be said that it is meaningless to find this rooftop, because from this rooftop, you can see that there is another building at the top of the building, so I asked Captain Gu: "I remember that the highest floor marked on the elevator is the 39th floor, why is there a floor above?" ”

Captain Gu said: "That floor is the floor added by the old chairman after the building was completed, and it is actually a roof garden. ”

"Take me up and have a look." I said immediately.

There is only one way to get to the roof garden, and that is to take the safe passage. When you come to the roof garden, you first walk through a beautifully crafted rooftop fish pond, which is lit up with colorful lanterns, and you can see fish swimming by from time to time. Crossing a small bridge, you will reach the gate of the roof garden.

The first thing I noticed was that this huge double-opening glass door was actually half opened, and it seemed that Captain Gu also saw it, and said with some surprise: "How did this door open?" ”

I said, "Is it possible to open this door normally?" ”

Captain Gu said: "Impossible, this is a greenhouse, the craftsman in charge of this garden is a graduate student engaged in garden technology, he has strict requirements for the humidity and temperature of the greenhouse, and he will personally check it before leaving every time, it is impossible not to close the door." ”

I said, "Could it be that some other employee in the company came up and opened the door and forgot to close it?" ”

Captain Gu said, "It's even more impossible. This is the chairman's private domain, and apart from the routine inspection of the security team, only he himself or when he receives VIPs. ”

Could it be that Mu Wei opened it himself? I pondered for a moment, frowned and nodded, "Go in and have a look." ”

When I turned on the electric lights in the greenhouse, I realized that this place was really unique and full of life. Entering this greenhouse, you will feel like you are in nature, with the murmuring of flowing water whispering in your ears and the fragrant smell of the fragrance is refreshing.

Tang Zhenguo sighed: "This rich man will really enjoy it." ”

I took a look at the greenhouse, and there was surveillance all around it, but the power went out at the time of the incident, and the monitoring was completely ineffective.

The granite floors on the ground were hard to leave footprints, but along the path, I found new clues. A quaint bamboo door was open, and gusts of wind blew from outside the door into the greenhouse.

I strode out of the bamboo door and found that it was an open-air lounge with a glass ceiling, with three sets of antique wooden tables and chairs, each with three chairs, and on the outermost table, there were three large matches, ash and cigar caps in the ashtray.

At the same time as I found these things, Captain Gu strode out of the lounge, stood by the glass fence and said loudly, "The chairman fell from here." ”

I walked to the glass fence and looked out, and it did coincide with Mu Wei's fall point.

I turned on my phone's flashlight and looked at the glass fence, which is about 1.1 meters high and easy for adults to climb over. For aesthetic reasons, there are no other handrails installed on the top of this tempered glass fence, but because this tempered glass is thick and the top is polished and rounded, it will not cut human skin.

Because of this kind of tempered glass without armrests, I found a lot of grip-like fingerprints on the top of one of the glasses.

If these fingerprints were left by the deceased, why are there so many? Then I can only give a reasonable explanation, that is, the deceased stood here for a long time before jumping off the building, and because of his nervous and helpless mentality, his hands kept changing the position of the glass, so he left many fingerprints.

Could it be that Mu Wei committed suicide?

From what I know now, suicide can be explained.

From the purple spots on Mu Wei's hands and the erosion of his gums, it can be inferred that his porphyria is quite serious. He lives like a vampire, unable to enjoy sunlight or even strong artificial light, and can only hide in the dark. Because the porphyrins that collect on his skin, once exposed to sunlight, turn into dangerous toxins that devour his muscles and tissues, leaving him in agony. After a long period of painful torture, he finally felt that he had nothing to love, so he drank a glass of 'blood wine' in his office, and then dragged his broken body to the open-air lounge in the roof garden, lit a cigar with three large matches, and while enjoying the last cigar in his life, while reminiscing about the good life he once had, after memories, entanglements and confusion, he jumped off the tall building and ended his life.

Although this idea is feasible, there are many places that cannot be explained.

First, why are wine glasses wiped so clean? secondly, there was no cigar ash to be found by the glass railing, and there was very little ash in the ashtray, not the ash of the whole cigar; Thirdly, I have called to inquire about Liu Lili, and Liu Lili made it clear that the deceased did not smoke before his death, and no matchbox or cigar cutter was found on him.

So, the remnants of this cigar appeared near the place where Mu Wei fell, and it was left by him before? Or was it left by someone else?

So I asked Captain Gu, "When is this lounge cleaned every day?" ”

Captain Gu thought for a while and said, "At eight o'clock in the morning and six o'clock in the evening, there will be a cleaning aunt to clean up. ”

I asked again, "Does your chairman smoke a cigar?" ”

Captain Gu said: "I don't know about this, I can also ask the secretary later." ”

I nodded. Picking up the cigar cap in the ashtray and looking at it, it was the Montecristo cigar in Havana, the brand that exports about half of Cuba's cigars every year. There are many brands of Montecristo cigars, and this one, is the Monte Master, this cigar is one of the Monte sports series, its shape is thick, known as Big Brother, the taste combines the tradition of the Monte family with modern, classic and fresh taste, especially suitable for young people who love sports. But business people should rarely choose this cigar, and even if they do, they will enjoy it after a round of golf.

Would Mu Wei, who was sick, choose such a cigar? Probably not.

Look at the three matches that didn't burn out. To be honest, with the acceleration of the pace of life, there are fewer and fewer people who use matches to light cigars, and most of them use cigar lighters and flame spray guns, and people who use matches to light cigars, and most of them are people who are extremely pursuing the quality of life.

And this match, but also shows this person's pursuit of quality of life, this is not an ordinary match, but a special match for Gaesba cigars, in the match, it is considered a luxury.

Could it be that this cigar was left by some distinguished friend of Mu Wei's?

With these questions in mind, we left the rooftop garden and made our way to the lobby.

First of all, I want to ask Mu Wei's secretary about the situation, but given the many doubts in this case, I still want to ask the people at the scene in isolation.

So, Captain Gu took me to the dining room next to the hall and arranged for me to question the people present in the private dining room. I told Captain Gu and Tang Zhenguo to stay outside the door and not let anyone outside my inquiry approach. Then let Captain Gu pass the word and ask the secretary to come over first.

The first to come to the private room of the restaurant was Mu Wei's secretary, the fashionable lady who was crying outside just now, Jiang Yinglan.

This secretary Jiang is wearing a pair of black sky-high heels, which makes her more than 175 cm tall, and her long straight black hair is very shiny, and it seems that she has spent a lot of effort on hair maintenance. Dressed in a white Korean-style long-sleeved shirt with a pair of straight and slender black stockings and long legs, she is charming and sexy to the extreme.

It's just that she has a strange expression on her face, and even with proper makeup on her face, it still can't hide this expression. I could see this expression clearly when I was up close, not sadness, but a kind of worry and horror left over from fear.

When a young girl sees a bloody corpse, she will definitely leave some after-effects out of fear. I explained this to myself in my heart.

I sat on the sofa in the dining room, and a plush wooden chair from the dining room was placed opposite the sofa. I asked Secretary Jiang to sit on the wooden chair and face to face with me, but when she sat down, I found that because the wooden chair was high and the sofa was too low, Secretary Jiang's legs were almost facing my face.

It's embarrassing! I quickly stood up, moved to the side, sat on the arm of the sofa, took out a cigarette and said, "Mind if I smoke?" ”

Secretary Jiang smiled elegantly and shook his head.

I lit a cigarette and defused what I thought I was embarrassed.

Taking a puff of my cigarette, I asked Secretary Jiang some customary questions, nothing more than name, age, position, etc. One of her ages surprised me, only 19 years old. At the age of 19, I became the secretary of the chairman of a large company, and I had to think about it crookedly. It seems that the seemingly elegant woman in front of her is not simple.

Entering the formal inquiry, I looked into Secretary Jiang's eyes and said, "Does Chairman Mu usually smoke?" Or a cigar? ”

"No."

"Drinking?"

Secretary Jiang said, "Don't drink it." Because he was not in good health, he didn't drink even when he was receiving VIPs, and it was me or Manager Mo who drank for him. ”

I nodded and said calmly, "Does he drink blood?" ”

As soon as I asked this question, I saw Secretary Jiang biting his lower lip tightly, and he didn't dare to look at me anymore.

Obviously, she knew that Mu Wei had a habit of drinking blood.
