Chapter 45: The Earl's Fall (2)
Several bright beams of light were projected onto the glass walls of the Mujue Building, completely obscuring the shadow of the previous police lights.
Power was restored to the Multon Building.
The security comrade who looked like a soldier stood up and said through the walkie-talkie: "Comrades in the monitoring room, please take their positions immediately, and the police will go to the monitoring room to retrieve the surveillance video before the power outage." "There was a noisy voice of receiving instructions from inside the intercom.
Under the ample lighting, I looked at the security guard again, with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, clear facial contours, big ears and thick lips, and a bit of heroism. Based on the leadership temperament exuded by his neat dress and the words he had just commanded the control room, I deduced that this heroic security comrade was probably the security captain.
So I put the cigarette in my hand into the cigarette case, stepped forward and said, "Captain, can you please take a look around this building with me later?" ”
He turned his body to stand upright, looked at me and said, "Yes, but I must meet with your leader, you are not wearing a police uniform, and you have not shown me the relevant documents and procedures, then you must be personally assigned by the leader of your criminal investigation team in front of me before I can cooperate with your investigation." ”
"No problem. Lao Lu, Lao Lu, come over here. I shouted loudly to Lao Lu, who was listening to Liu Lili's preliminary autopsy report.
Lao Lu gave a few words to Liu Lili and walked towards me.
My eyes swept to the people in civilian clothes who were standing outside the cordon, and they were walking into the building one after another, so I asked, "Captain, who are those people?" ”
The security captain looked sideways and said, "Several high-level executives of the company, secretaries and several managers, oh, that big man is the chairman's driver and bodyguard." ”
I nodded, and at this time Lao Lu had already walked up to me and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
I wiped my nose, pointed at the people in civilian clothes and said, "Control those people and don't let them move around." ”
Lao Lu patted me on the shoulder and said, "Ouyang, you just need to do case analysis and speculation, do you think our police will not be able to consider these small things?" ”
It seemed that I was overly worried, I glanced sideways at those people, and then said to Lao Lu: "This security captain wants me to ask you for instructions in person, and only after getting your instructions will I allow and cooperate with me to investigate the company building." ”
Lao Lu Haha smiled and said: "Jun'er, after so many years, your principled nature is still so strong." ”
It seems that Lao Lu and this security captain know each other.
The security captain said solemnly: "Captain Lu, my boss died tragically, and you have another murder case in your hand, can you still laugh?" ”
Lao Lu's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense with you." This is Ouyang Jie, the consultant detective of the criminal investigation team, I asked him to help with the case analysis, and you will cooperate with him later. ”
The security captain looked at me for a moment and said, "You are the legendary Ouyang Detective?" No wonder you can tell at a glance that I'm the captain of security. My name is Gu Jun, and I am fortunate to meet you. The security captain took the initiative to reach out.
I stretched out my right hand and shook his hand, this guy has a lot of strength.
After that, Lao Lu went to the monitoring room, I called Tang Zhenguo, and under the guidance of Captain Gu, we walked into the Mujue Building.
The first floor of the building is the central hall. As soon as I walked into the lobby, I felt as if I had entered the reception hall of a five-star hotel, with a luxurious and dazzling central chandelier and a dazzling painting of classic European Renaissance paintings on the walls.
In the corner of the hall, there is a beautifully designed single sofa, and its materials are obviously good. Just now, the senior executives of the company were sitting leisurely on the sofa reading magazines and mobile phones, and seemed indifferent to the boss's fall. The fashionable lady had already stopped crying and was busy touching up her makeup. There was a policewoman next to her, who was negotiating with one of them for questioning and taking notes.
I asked Captain Gu, "What time does your company get off work?" ”
Captain Gu said: "It's normal six o'clock, but in the past half month, several managers and secretaries have often held meetings late. Just like today, the employees are off work and the leaders are still in meetings. ”
I thought for a moment and asked, "What about your chairman?" When to go. ”
Captain Gu said: "The chairman basically came at night, and when he came, the company's employees were off work. I also walked very late, sometimes after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. And he has been in office for less than a month, as far as I know, the company's big and small matters are now represented by General Manager Mo, but when you encounter important matters, please ask the chairman. ”
Climb the elevator to the top floor of the Moujue Building, which is simply an art exhibition center. According to Captain Gu, this top floor is where the chairman receives VIPs and offices. There are not only showrooms for corporate products, but also gyms, cinemas and luxury restaurants.
After passing through the showroom, I got to know the business projects of the Mouljue Group, which is mainly engaged in luxury jewelry, not only has a leading luxury design team, but also has its own gem mine.
But now I don't have time to taste these sparkling jewels, and it is imperative that I find out where the deceased Mu Wei fell from the building.
Under the guidance of Captain Gu, we pushed open the door of Mu Wei's office.
"Oh my God, look at that mural, is it a vampire?" Tang Zhenguo said with some shock.
"Well, it's the depicted vampire, the most famous vampire count in Europe, Dracula. Your boss has a very unique taste, and he actually likes this kind of painting. While teasing, I wondered if Mu Wei's display of the vampire Count Dracula in his office in such a large format in his office had something to do with his porphyria?
Captain Gu said: "This is a new mural that Mu Wei put on after he succeeded as chairman, and it used to be a landscape painting. ”
I nodded, put on my gloves and walked into the office. In order to minimize the destruction of possible evidence, I asked Captain Gu and Tang Zhenguo to wait for me outside the office.
The 200-square-meter office is decorated with a medieval mansion feel, and the quaint bookshelves display hardcover retro books. But when I turned the page, it was brand new, and it was in French. It seems that the book is not for reading, it is for decoration, and the spotlessness must be due to the fact that someone regularly enters the office to clean and care.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are obviously covered with a layer of film, and they are equipped with fully automatic blood-red sunshade curtains, which I touched and were silky and smooth, and the materials were extremely particular.
However, this gives a problem, this is a completely secret room, and the fully enclosed floor-to-ceiling windows are not broken, and it is obviously impossible for Mu Wei to fall from this office.
But this made me wonder, because there was a red wine glass in the corner of the huge desk, but the glass was empty, indicating that the deceased had drunk at the desk before his death. So he must have been in this house before he died, could it be that he drank here and then ran out to find a place to jump off the building?
But when my eyes were fixed on the glass, I felt that something was wrong. Because the glass was so empty, I picked it up and looked at the light, and there were no fingerprints on the inside, and there were obvious wipe marks on the inside of the glass.
I sniffed the glass vigorously and was sure that it had not been filled with wine before, but with another liquid, blood.
I'm not surprised, because in ancient times, it was recorded that people with porphyria in ancient times could make themselves feel better by sucking or drinking blood.
There is a scientific basis for this, and for most people with porphyria, blood transfusions and heme are effective in relieving symptoms and are still the mainstream treatments. Heme is very tenacious and can still be absorbed by the small intestine through the digestive tract.
It's just that I'm not sure if the cup is filled with human or animal blood. The cup was wiped so cleanly that it was estimated that it was difficult for the technical department of the police to judge. However, if the deceased had actually drunk blood before his death, then a sample can be taken from his body.
I took the glass and glanced around the office, and there was a wine cooler not far from the bookshelf. I was inexplicably excited, but immediately dismissed my idea.
Because when I saw the wine cabinet, I thought about whether there would be a container for blood in the wine cabinet, but it was impossible to think about it. Because the blood is either professionally lyophilized and shakenly preserved, or it is stored at low temperature after adding anticoagulants and nutrient solutions, it is obviously impossible to keep it in the kind of wine cabinet without any measures.
Still, I opened the wine cooler and checked it out. In addition to discovering two bottles of Margo Estate wine and a bottle of Louis XIII Supreme, I found one of the most important clues.
It was the wine glass in the wine cabinet, which was very different from the wine glass in my hand. The wine glasses in the wine cabinet are all traditional Burgundy wine goblets, but the one in my hand is a cocktail glass.
So where did this once-blooded cocktail glass come from?
I give three conjectures: first, this cocktail glass also came from this wine cabinet, except that it was specially used to drink blood; Second, the cup is kept with a container for blood, and if blood is to be preserved, the best thing to do in this office is to have a refrigerator with blood and wine glasses with anticoagulants added to it; Third, the cup came from the outside world and was brought in by someone else.
I carefully checked the wine cabinet, the furnishings in the wine cabinet are very regular, and it will not look so natural when you put other things, so it can be seen that the wine cabinet is also taken care of, so this wine glass cannot come from here.
Ruling out the first conjecture, I walked around the office again, and found no refrigerator, although I found a hidden compartment, it was clearly a safe. So he asked Captain Gu: "Is there a refrigerator or other freezer in the chairman's office?" ”
Captain Gu shook his head and said, "I don't know, you can ask the secretary later." ”
I hummed, and kept the third conjecture for now, and it seemed that it would only be confirmed after questioning the on-site personnel later.
