The building that was still under construction was about twenty stories high, and Xu Lang stood outside the first floor, rushing down and looking up, only to see a vague black shadow.

The shadow seemed to sense that someone was looking in his direction, and the shadow quickly withdrew its head from the poking out.

Ning Yanran squatted beside the man at this moment, stretched out her hand to test the man's pulse, just at this time Xu Lang lowered his head and looked at the man lying in a pile of putty powder, Ning Yanran shook his head at Xu Lang and said, "It's dead." ”

At this moment, the middle-aged man who was in charge of bringing Xu Lang and them to Qi Lang came over, and after he saw the man with a bloodstained face, he was stunned at first, and then said in shock: "How could it be him?" ”

Xu Lang and Ning Yanran heard the middle-aged man say this, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw that the middle-aged man knew the deceased, so Xu Lang opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know him?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at the dead man lying on the ground, then raised his head, looked at Xu Lang with complicated eyes, nodded, and said, "He is Qi Lang." ”

"What?"

"He's Qi Lang?"

Ning Yanran and Xu Lang were suddenly shocked, the two of them looked at each other again, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes, Xu Lang glanced at Ning Yanran, after Ning Yanran saw it, nodded, took out his mobile phone and walked to the side, and began to make calls.

And after Xu Lang knew that the person who suddenly died in front of him was Qi Lang, whom they had been looking for for days, Xu Lang suddenly had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "What floor does Qi Lang work on?" ”

The middle-aged man said without thinking: "It's on the twenty-first floor." ”

The man said as he stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of the roof.

Xu Lang followed the position pointed by the man and found that the place was the place where he had seen the black shadow just now, so he walked to the simple elevator without thinking, pressed the elevator and walked upstairs.

Ning Yanran also finished the call when Xu Lang took the elevator upstairs, she just called the people of the second criminal investigation team, if this is just an ordinary murder case, the second criminal investigation team is now investigating the case of Niu Honghe and Yao Wenlin, and there is definitely no energy to take over this case, it will definitely be handed over to the local public security bureau to deal with, but now it is Qi Lang who is dead, and it is after they just learned where Qi Lang is, they died in front of them, Ning Yanran's first thought is that this is definitely not an accident.

It's just that when Ning Yanran saw Xu Lang suddenly go upstairs, she didn't know if Xu Lang found something, and now only she and the man surnamed Ma were present at the scene, if she also left here, the scene would be full of people, and it would definitely destroy the scene, so she could only raise her head and look at the direction in which Xu Lang went up.

When Xu Lang took the elevator to the twenty-first floor, coming down from the elevator, Xu Lang came to the place where Qi Lang fell down in his memory just now, and found that in a place that should be a balcony, there was a simple bench nailed together with several wooden sticks, and on top of the bench was a bucket of ash stained with putty powder.

The walls near the balcony have been painted white, except for the top of the balcony, there is still a white blank, it seems that Qi Lang should have stood on the bench before the accident and was ready to paint the ceiling.

Xu Lang walked to the balcony, first stood on tiptoe and looked at the ash bucket on the bench, and found that there was only a small half of putty powder left in the ash bucket, and the painting tools were placed on top of the putty powder, Xu Lang frowned, walked to the balcony, and looked outside.

Because this is a newly built building, or a clay house, there are decoration materials scattered everywhere, sand, cement, steel bars, springboards, etc., everywhere, whether it is a balcony or a window, there is no installation of glass and other items, and the location of the balcony is very low, there is not much protection at all.

Outside the balcony is a springboard tied together with bamboo strips, at this moment, the springboard has already fallen aside, on a cement wall of the balcony, Xu Lang can clearly see a few white traces, Xu Lang squatted down, looked at it, and found that these traces are putty powder, Xu Lang stretched out his fingers and touched it, and found that these putty powder was still very wet, it should be something in the bucket.

At the location of the balcony, Xu Lang found an army-green shoe, but other than that, no other traces were found at the scene.

Xu Lang stood up, looked at the ground around him, and found that a lot of water had accumulated on the ground at the site, I don't know if it was left by the rain or because of the construction, and he didn't see a single footprint at the scene, Xu Lang frowned.

Since there were not too many useful clues found at the scene, Xu Lang thought about it and remembered the black shadow he saw just now, so Xu Lang left here and searched for it in this building.

This is the twenty-first floor, the first floor is divided into two sides, three rooms of about the same size on one side, and after the decoration is completed, it should be three different rooms, you can live in three families, Xu Lang looked for it in these three rooms, and did not see anyone, so Xu Lang walked to the other side of the room, and found that the pattern on the other side was similar to this side, Xu Lang walked cautiously in it, and finally, saw a person in the farthest room.

It was a young-looking, almost twenty-something-year-old young man.

The man was wearing a set of army green clothes, no different from ordinary workers on the construction site, the man was wearing a pair of gloves at the moment, holding a white scraping tool in his hand, standing on a bench similar to what Xu Lang had just seen, painting the ceiling.

The man was wearing headphones and his back to Xu Lang, and while he was painting the wall, his lips moved slightly, as if he didn't notice Xu Lang's arrival.

After Xu Lang stood in place and observed the man for a while, he walked to the opposite side of the man, raised his head to look at the man, and asked, "Is there anyone else here?" ”

Suddenly, a person appeared in front of him, startling the man who was concentrating on work, his body swayed slowly, stopped the work in his hand, put the tools in his hand on the edge of the barrel, took off the gloves he was wearing, and took off the earphones on one side, then he looked at Xu Lang and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Xu Lang had no choice but to ask again, "Is there anyone else here?" ”

The man frowned, jumped down from the bench, looked at Xu Lang, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Lang is wearing civilian clothes, and with Xu Lang's current identity, it is impossible to wear a police uniform, and the workers on the construction site either rely on physical strength to eat, or rely on technology to eat, no matter which one, they are very casual when working on the construction site, and the clothes are basically dirty, it is impossible to be as clean as Xu Lang, of course, except for those responsible persons on the construction site, but these people rarely come to the construction site, even if they come occasionally, they are either wearing white hard hats, Or a blue hard hat, which rarely enters a construction site without a hat.

Xu Lang took out his ID, opened it and showed it to the man, and then said, "I am the criminal investigation consultant of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. ”

The man didn't read what was written on Xu Lang's certificate clearly, but when he saw the police-emblem and the big characters of the Municipal Public Security Bureau on it, he immediately believed that Xu Lang was a policeman, so he looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled face and asked, "Is there anything to find me?" ”

Xu Lang is still the same question just now.

After the man learned Xu Lang's identity, he immediately said, "Yes, Qi Lang is next door." ”

Xu Lang looked into the man's eyes and asked, "Is there anyone else in this building besides the two of you?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "No, the rest of the work has been done, and we are left with the shaved ones." ”

Xu Lang turned his head, looked around, and found that the walls and ceilings around him were painted white, so Xu Lang asked, "You and Qi Lang are the only two people who paint such a building?" ”

The man nodded and said, "Yes, Qi Lang and I are enough, he is responsible for brushing the left one, and I am responsible for brushing the right one." ”

"What's your name?" Xu Lang asked.

"Zhao Dazhu." The young man replied truthfully.

"Did you hear anything strange?"

"Nope." The man shook his head.

"And did you see anyone else passing by here?"

The man shook his head again and said, "No." ”

Zhao Dazhu looked at Xu Lang and asked with a puzzled expression: "This police officer, is something wrong?" ”

Xu Lang's face was a little ugly, he frowned, was silent for a while, and said, "Qi Lang is dead." ”

When Xu Lang said this again, he kept staring at Zhao Dazhu's eyes.

When Zhao Dazhu heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, he opened his mouth slightly, looked at Xu Lang with a shocked face, and asked, "Qi Lang is dead?" How did he die? When did you die? How did I not know? ”

Xu Lang stared into the man's eyes, looked at it for a long time, and after finding that he showed no signs of lying, he said, "The one who died just now fell from a high altitude and died." ”

"How is this possible?" Zhao Dazhu muttered to himself, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Xu Lang looked at Zhao Dazhu's face, his brows furrowed more and more, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Lang, Brother Lang, where are you? Brother Lang. ”

At that moment, someone shouted not far away.

After Xu Lang heard this shout, he knew that it was someone from the second criminal investigation team who came, he didn't look at Zhao Dazhu, but turned his head and shouted in the direction where the voice came: "I'm here." ”

The sound of hurried footsteps immediately came from far and near, and soon, two uniformed police officers walked over, and after they saw Xu Lang and Zhao Dazhu, they were stunned for a moment, and then walked to Xu Lang's side and asked, "Brother Lang, why are you here?" The place where Qi Lang fell is next door. ”

It was Lao Kaige who said this, and it was Guo Jun who stood beside him.

When Xu Lang saw Lao Kaige and Guo Jun coming, he asked, "Is the scene blocked?" ”

Lao Kaige nodded and said, "It's already sealed, and the deputy captain is investigating the scene over there." ”

Xu Lang nodded, then turned his head, looked at Zhao Dazhu and said, "He is the person who works with Qi Lang, his name is Zhao Dazhu, you can learn about the situation with him." ”

After saying this, Xu Lang turned around and left, he had a very strong feeling of unease.

Xu Lang, who left here, did not go to the place where Qi Lang fell before he fell to check, and the work of investigating the scene was left to Li Lei and them to do, Xu Lang now has to go downstairs to ask Ning Yanran if he has seen anyone else leave the building during this time.

Xu Lang thought so, and did the same, when he came downstairs, he found that there were many people gathered at the scene, not far from the downstairs, there were several police cars parked, and two forensic doctors in white coats were squatting next to Qi Lang's corpse, conducting preliminary autopsy work, Ning Yanran was standing aside, and the middle-aged man surnamed Ma was asking something.

After seeing Xu Lang coming over, Ning Yanran immediately stopped asking, looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Xu Lang shook his head with an ugly face and said, "I didn't find anything strange at the scene. ”

Ning Yanran also frowned, raised her head, glanced at the top of the building, and then asked uncertainly, "Accidentally fell to your death?" ”

Xu Lang neither nodded nor shook his head, but said: "At present, it seems that it should be like this, and the specific results can not be determined until Li Lei's on-site investigation work is completed." ”

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Ning Yanran nodded subconsciously.

Xu Lang looked at Ning Yanran and asked, "After I went upstairs just now, did you see anyone coming down?" ”

Ning Yanran shook her head and said, "No." ”

Xu Lang frowned again and muttered to himself, "Could it be that I was dazzled by mistake just now?" ”

Xu Lang shook his head, and quickly denied this idea, he couldn't be wrong just now, he obviously saw that when Qi Lang fell from the building, there was a dark shadow standing there, looking down at something.

After Xu Lang knew that the deceased was Qi Lang, he immediately took the elevator up, but he didn't see anyone at the scene, except for Zhao Dazhu, if there was really someone on it just now, then Qi Lang was probably not accidentally killed, but pushed down, if this is really the case, then the murderer should be here, thinking of this, Xu Lang hurriedly said to Ning Yanran: "Is the scene sealed?" ”

Ning Yanran nodded and said; "After they came, they sealed off the scene, and they didn't see how anyone came down."

Speaking of this, Ning Yanran turned her head, looked at Xu Lang suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?" Did you just see something? ”

Xu Lang thought about it, and still said: "After Qi Lang fell, I saw a black shadow at the place where Qi Lang fell, but when the black shadow found out that I looked over, it disappeared, I don't know if it was my illusion." ”

Hearing this, Ning Yanran suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, "This matter is too strange, we just found Qi Lang's location, and he died, and he died in front of us, this is too much of a coincidence." ”

Xu Lang nodded and said: "It's really too much of a coincidence, by the way, immediately let people conduct a careful search of this building to see if there are any suspicious people coming in and out, in addition, I also found a worker working with Qi Lang upstairs, you take him back and ask." ”

After saying this, Xu Lang walked to Qi Lang's body, looked at the forensic doctor who was busy, and asked, "How are the autopsy results?" ”

After Ning Yanran heard Xu Lang's words, she immediately went down according to Xu Lang's arrangement.

This time it was another forensic doctor who came to the scene, not Ye Xuefei, after he heard Xu Lang's question, he stood up and said: "Preliminary investigation, the cause of death of the deceased was due to a fall from a height, the deceased was hit many times when he fell, although the impact slowed down his fall, but he still died, as for other results, further autopsy is needed to know." ”

The process of Qi Lang's death, Xu Lang and Ning Yanran saw it clearly, and naturally knew that Qi Lang fell from a high altitude and died, before the forensic doctor did not give this result, Xu Lang was not very sure, Qi Lang died because of falling from a high altitude, and it is also possible that he was thrown downstairs after being killed, but now the cause of Qi Lang's death has basically been determined, and the next thing is to investigate, why Qi Lang fell to his death, whether he died by accident or was pushed down, if it is the former, it is an accident, if it is the latter, then the problem is serious.

Xu Lang's psychology is more inclined to the latter, he feels that Qi Lang is likely to be killed, but there is no evidence to prove this yet.

Suddenly, Xu Lang thought of something, he hurriedly walked to Ning Yanran's side, grabbed Ning Yanran's hand and said, "It's bad, something is going to happen, come with me." ”

Xu Lang said as he grabbed Ning Yanran's arm and walked towards where their car was parked.

Ning Yanran was suddenly grabbed by Xu Lang, she was stunned at first, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?" What's broken? What's going to happen? Where are you taking me? ”

The two of them had already come to the side of the car while talking, Xu Lang stretched out his hand and said to Ning Yanran, "Key." ”

Ning Yanran immediately took out the key from her pocket and handed it to Xu Lang.

Xu Lang took the key and opened the car door, opened the driver's door, sat down, and then said to Ning Yanran: "Qi Lang is dead, Gong Liqin is in danger." ”

Ning Yanran also walked to the other side of the car, opened the co-pilot's door and sat down, hearing Xu Lang say this, her heart suddenly hung up, and she looked at Xu Lang anxiously and said, "You mean, someone is killing people?" ”

After Ning Yanran got into the car, Xu Lang started the car, turned the steering wheel and drove towards the outside of the construction site, his face was extremely solemn and gloomy, and while driving the car, he said: "If I guess correctly, it is likely to kill people." ”

"Kill people? Who could that be? Could it be Gong Liqin? Ning Yanran looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled expression and asked.

Xu Lang shook his head and didn't answer this question, he drove the car and drove quickly towards the place where Gong Liqin worked, and he said in his heart while driving: "I hope it will be in time." ”
