Chapter 21: The Death of the Cleaner
(September 27) countdown day 94
The news of Yao Xiaofei's suicide by jumping from the Wansheng Building continues to ferment, and a large number of on-site videos and photos are flooding the Internet, including close-up photos with obvious sexual // implications.
In the morning, Xiao Feng was shaking his head as he browsed through this information, and a photo suddenly caught his attention. The photo was taken before the police arrived, when Yao Xiaofei had just climbed to the top of the building. In the photo, Yao Xiaofei is carrying a bag, standing on the edge of the roof, looking at the crowd of onlookers downstairs.
It was that bag that surprised Xiao Yunfeng. When the police arrived at the scene, it was when Yao Xiaofei jumped off the building. From Yao Xiaofei's jump to the ground, it happened in just a few seconds under the watchful eye of the police, and the existence of this bag was not found in the process and at the scene of the body.
Where did the bag go, and why is it not there?
Xiao Feng also remembered that there should have been a mobile phone at the scene but did not appear, and immediately rushed from the Qingshan Police Station to Wansheng Plaza.
When he came to the roof, he was surprised by a green trash can. He came to the roof of the building after the jumping incident yesterday and was pretty sure there were no trash cans. What does it mean to have a trash can all of a sudden?
The trash can was empty. He approached the person in charge of the building's property management and asked him if there were always garbage cans on the roof of the building.
"Yes. The cleaner cleans the roof once a day. "The person in charge is very sure.
"Who was the cleaner on duty yesterday?"
"Who was in charge of cleaning the roof yesterday? Let her go to the top of the building. The person in charge called, "Huh? Get in touch right away and notify her to come to work, right away! ”
"It's called Liu Cui, and I haven't come to work yet...... Now even the cleaners are not well managed. The person in charge looked at Xiao Feng and shrugged his shoulders.
Xiao Feng was noncommittal, looked around, and then rushed to the water tank around the corner with an arrow step, lifted the lid of the water tank, there was nothing, but carefully checked the water level, and sure enough, there were traces of the expected fresh water level.
Before he could jump down, the phone rang, and he answered it, his face sank.
"Where does that Liu Cui live?" He had a bad premonition.
"It's nearby, it's called...... It's called Sunshine Community. ”
"Something's wrong! I hope ......" Xiao Feng threw down the person in charge with a surprised face and rushed downstairs.
Sunshine Community and Wansheng Plaza are only two streets apart, and Xiao Feng arrived at the accident site in less than 10 minutes.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he immediately took a few steps back, bent down and coughed dryly, pressing back a bitter breath in his throat.
Even though he had seen countless tragic murder scenes, he was stunned by the tragic scene in front of him. A sturdy woman lay on her back in the living room, her fleshy face completely unrecognizable. The bridge of her nose was shattered, and her entire nose was smashed flat, making her whole face look like a bloody pancake. The knife on his neck was bloody and terrifying, the opening was a finger's width wide, and broken bones peeked out from the dark red blood that had solidified. The index and middle fingers of the right hand were broken in reverse directions, leaving only a layer of skin attached to the fracture.
The living room was a mess, with the coffee table toppled on the side near the TV stand, and cups and fruits scattered on the coffee table.
Everything shows that the dead and the murderer experienced a fierce fight.
Could the deceased be Liu Cui, the cleaner of Wansheng Building? Yao Xiaofei's mobile phone and backpack that mysteriously disappeared before jumping off the building, and the trash cans on the roof of Wansheng Building that should have been there yesterday but should not have been there today are directly related to Liu Cui?
His fears were soon confirmed. The person in charge of the property of Wansheng Building also arrived, and although the deceased's face was blurred with flesh and blood, he was very sure that the deceased was Liu Cui, an employee of his company, through the deceased's body shape, clothing, and the location of the rented room.
Intuition told Xiao Feng that Liu Cui's death was not accidental, but was inevitably related to the mysterious disappearance of mobile phones, backpacks and strange trash cans, and Liu Cui must have mastered an important clue related to Yao Xiaofei's jumping off the building, which caused the murder.
Before jumping off the building, Yao Xiaofei had enough time to leave clues for the police, but she hurriedly wrote the clues on the palm of her hand with lipstick, what did she experience in the 40 minutes between being found standing on the roof of the building and jumping?
Xiao Feng narrowed his trademark thin eyes again, combing through the logic before and after the incident: Yao Xiaofei should have used her mobile phone to leave clues, but she didn't—because she couldn't use or didn't have a mobile phone—among the photos posted by the onlookers on the Internet, there was a photo showing her taking the call with her mobile phone—countless pairs of eyes saw it, After she jumped down, she didn't find her mobile phone downstairs - the mobile phone must have been left on the roof - Xiao Feng climbed to the roof twice and didn't find the mobile phone and backpack - the trash can disappeared out of thin air and appeared out of thin air - Liu Cui, the cleaner who was in charge of cleaning the roof yesterday, was most likely to come to the roof and find the mobile phone and backpack - Liu Cui was brutally killed - because she may have found the mobile phone - the murderer seized the mobile phone to cut off the clues that Yao Xiaofei might have left for the police - the murderer knew that the mobile phone was left on the roof of the building, so the murderer was at the scene of the jump yesterday - The murderer later came to the roof of the building and found that the mobile phone was missing, and Liu Cui may have found the mobile phone - Liu Cui was killed.
"I need all the surveillance footage from 3 p.m. yesterday to 4 a.m. today." After Xiao Feng sorted out the motive for Liu Cui's killing, he turned his head and said to the person in charge.
"No problem, no problem."
"Between the staircase and the roof."
"Definitely, definitely." The person in charge exited the room after speaking.
Xiao Feng came to the corpse again, looked around the scene after the fierce struggle, and unsurprisingly found a huge ashtray with blood stains under the sofa, and the murder process was quickly restored in his brain. Liu Cui was sitting on the sofa, and the murderer suddenly stabbed her in the neck. Blood gushed from her neck, and she struggled to grab the killer with her right hand. The murderer dragged her back in surprise, turning the coffee table over in the process, and the things on the coffee table were scattered. She is sturdy, but she still clung to the murderer. Annoyed, the killer grabbed the ashtray that had fallen to the ground and smashed it down in the face again and again. At this time, she was almost dead, but the hand that grabbed the murderer had not yet been released. The murderer, who was eager to get out, dragged her dozens of centimeters away, and before she could get rid of it, the murderer broke her fingers, which had lost the ability to resist, in the opposite direction to get out.
Restoring the tragic murder process, Xiao Feng's mind was filled with the vague figure of a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
