Chapter 39: The Man in Black
"Well, I'm not scared!" Fang Qiang straightened up, but his expression and movements already showed that he was indeed scared.
I smiled: "Xiamen University? I didn't even go to high school, and I still hope to go to Xiamen University. I'll ask you again, who gave you the money to guide the public opinion of the haunted house curse on the Internet. If you don't say it, I promise, we'll be very clever. β
"Yes, generally speaking, we won't slap you in the face, but we guarantee that you will break a few bones, and the rest of the parts will also make you feel painful!" Xie Lei clenched his fist again.
Fang Qiang grunted and saliva, and finally stopped insisting, and said with a sad face: "Two big brothers, I really don't know, my money... Money.... It is the income of my own labor. β
"Didn't you just say that you haven't been working? Where does the income come from? With a click, I plunged a fruit knife into the table. And under the fruit knife, there is a hundred-yuan bill, "If you say it, the money is all yours." But if you don't say itγγγγγ β
"I, I..." Gollum, from the depths of his throat, Fang Qiang had already shown enough fear. This guy's obscenity and cowardice have actually exposed all his shortcomings.
Greedy, fearful, no integrity!
As long as he is not honest, then it is naturally not a bad thing for us.
"I can't really say he's going to kill me." As soon as Fang Qiang opened his mouth, he knew that he had missed his mouth.
Of course, he didn't have time to cover his mouth, because Xie Lei's movements were fast enough, the fruit knife was taken off the table, and he stepped forward directly against Fang Qiang's neck and said, "But if you don't say it, I might kill you now." So, you have to think about it. β
"Don't, don't. The two big brothers, let's cooperate with each other. Cooperate. Then I say, then I say, but you have to promise me that you can't reveal it. β
"Rest assured, we'll keep you safe, and we'll find someone to intimidate you." I gave him a reassurance.
Fang Qiang, a person with IQ and EQ, decided, he could only consider the immediate interests, sure enough, after hesitating again and again, and seeing me thicken the money on the table, he finally said: "Actually, someone did give me money, let me spread the rumors of the haunted house curse as a haunted house experiencer, and guide everyone to believe in the haunted house curse." Every once in a while, that person will show up and give me a sum of money so that I can guide everyone to the Haunted House Curse. β
"What is the approximate time of the interval you are talking about?"
"The first time, almost eight months ago, he asked me to guide public opinion on the Internet as a haunted house resident."
"Eight months ago? According to the information given to me by Jiaqi, Ma Debiao died eight months ago. β
"Well, in fact, that person only appeared to find me after Ma Debiao's death, and asked me to use Ma Debiao's death to better create public opinion! He gave me a sum of money to keep me guiding. β
"Ma Debiao only looked for you after he died? It's kind of weird. And what about the second time. β
"After I continued to guide public opinion, he didn't show up until almost three months ago, when he reappeared, gave me another sum of money, and asked me to use Xu Changde's suicide to continue to create rumors of a haunted house curse."
"Then the third appearance is not when Tang Duoduo committed suicide?"
"It was about that time, a month ago, that he showed up, gave me another sum of money, and then asked me to increase the guidance of public opinion. Then, the girl was exposed to suicide. Then, almost ten days ago, he reappeared and asked me to increase guidance. β
"After you guided, it was revealed that Wu Zuofeng's suicide was exposed?" I frowned and pondered, and said to myself, "Eight months, three months, one month, ten days, these points in time, the choice seems to be very strange. Except for the first time point, which was eight months ago, the next three time points are almost one-third of the previous time point. β
"A third of the time point. Forehead... Fang Qiang suddenly hesitated.
I hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" β
"You said a third, but I remembered that the last time that man looked for me was almost eleven days ago, and three days ago, he happened to come to me again!"
"What!"
Three months ago, a month ago, eleven days ago, three days ago it was almost a collection of data! Could it be that the murderer has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"How did he find you?"
"That man was dressed in black and had a black mask, how to say, he looked a bit like a Japanese ninja, of course, but his behavior and dress were different from the Japanese ninjas I watched on TV! Every time, he inadvertently showed up at my residence, and then gave me a sum of money to continue to create public opinion! The guy also threatened me not to tell him about it or he would kill me. Well, two big brothers, I've said everything I can, that guy looks really powerful, he has come and gone without a trace, will he really kill me? β
Xie Lei roared: "Come and go without a trace, ninja? You can't be making up nonsense, right? β
Fang Qiang said aggrievedly: "Heaven and earth conscience, I really didn't tell nonsense. β
"He's not lying." "All of his expressions were natural, and they were tinged with strong memories, and it was clear that what he said was something he had experienced." β
I took a deep breath, and all of a sudden, I felt that the problem was not only serious, but also funny. We always thought it was a high-IQ crime, but now, there is a man in black! This Nima is making a movie! It's just messy.
And from Fang Qiang's mouth, we can't get any information about the man in black again, because the man in black just gave Fang Qiang money and let him guide public opinion, and didn't care about anything else!
"He looked for Fang Qiang three days ago, does it mean that in the past two days, there are other people who want to commit suicide?" I realized the seriousness of the problem, "Xie Lei, I want you to go to the old soap factory immediately to squat, see if there are any other people who have gone in, especially those who have been in these days, help me ask clearly, quickly." β
Looking at my serious expression, Xie Lei also understood that things were getting bigger, so he didn't have any doubts and immediately ran out.
And when Fang Qiang saw that I was about to leave, he immediately exclaimed, "Hey, hey, didn't you say you wanted to protect me." β
I didn't look back, I just threw all the money out of my wallet and said, "This money should be enough to protect you." β
"Enough, hehe, definitely enough." Fang Qiang's hippie smile immediately disappeared from our office.
Now, I need to reorganize my thinking, and there is no doubt that we are getting closer to the real answer, but because we are getting closer, we need to solve more mysteries.
First of all, there is the question of time difference. Whether the deaths of these four people are deliberately scheduled or coincidental, this, I have to wait for Xu Jiaqi to give me an answer.
Looking at the time, minute by minute, when I was sorting out my thoughts, I was also waiting for Xu Jiaqi. Finally, with a snap, the door was pushed open, and Xu Jiaqi ran over panting and said, "Brother Liang, I found out, Ma Debiao's death, the official conclusion is suicide." The so-called strange suicide is probably a rumor, because I asked many neighbors in Ma Debiao's residence, and they either did not directly witness it, or when they did, most of them were speculative. Only one person affirmed that Ma Debiao just fell from the stairs by stumbling, and there was nothing weird! β
"That's Changde."
"Xu Changde's weirdness still exists, and there are mobile phone videos!"
If Ma Debiao's death is excluded, then the time point when the man in black appeared and the time point when Xu Changde, Tang Duoduo, and Wu Zuofeng committed suicide just form a series group! It was definitely premeditated and planned! And, I'm sure, there will be people who will commit suicide!
"Who the hell is he and what the hell is he going to do!"
"Brother Liang!" Tang Lin also pushed the door open.
"Anything new?" I asked anxiously.
Tang Lin shook his head: "I re-observed three suicide videos and didn't find any flaws, but I am basically sure that Xu Changde's death should be of the same type as Tang Duoduo and Wu Zuofeng." β
That means we can now target the Men in Black once and for all.
"Linlin, you know a lot about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, have you ever heard of this kind of person in black."
After I repeated Fang Qiang's description to the two women, they were all frowning and looking dazed!
Of course, now is not the time to be in a daze, we need to race against time, because there is an unknown person, his life is in danger.
The three of us were at the same time at the computer, collecting all the information and information of the so-called man in black, hoping to find similar cases from the Internet. Every minute is precious to us right now! However, in the vast sea of the Internet, it is really not so simple to find this kind of clueless information. Even Tang Lin, a master hacker, was a little helpless.
Crazy, rampage! We know that we are close to the end, but before the end, there seems to be a barrier blocking us!
Late at night, Xie Lei called us and said that except for me and Tang Lin entering the Red Mansion, no one else had entered in the past few days, and I asked Xie Lei to continue to stay in the periphery, after all, we didn't know what that person was going to do.
All night, the three of us didn't leave the office. Everyone decided to stay up all night in the office to find answers, and when they were tired and sleepy, they took turns resting in the rest room of the office.
I absolutely trust my teammates' enthusiasm and their ability to work, of course, the fatigue combined with the weirdness of the case makes us feel a little physically and mentally exhausted, and even the slightest wind and grass will make the people in the firm a little nervous. These nervousness either make us sweat profusely, or make us smile.
However, this sudden fright gradually made the three of us look at each other, and in an instant, the three of us, who had already reorganized a lot of information, seemed to have sorted out an important problem!
"The murderer has been using the Red Chamber since the beginning, and it can be said that the haunted house curse was caused by him. He's the ghost! β
