◎ Chapter 3 Ten Taboos of Elevators

Bao Chop: Masturbation, this banana is used for masturbation!

Su Mei: Ah, masturbation! Male or female?

Professor Liang smiled without saying a word, and Hualong couldn't help laughing, and the faces of Bao Chu and Su Mei were a little red.

This banana was apparently used by men to masthetate, and semen was found in the hollow banana, as well as some facial cleanser used for lubrication.

Out of the need to solve the case, the special case team asked people to buy some bananas and select the one of the right thickness. Bao Chop first wraps this banana densely with scotch tape, then cuts a hole in the root, kneades and squeezes out the smooth flesh through the peel, kneades to ensure that the banana peel is intact when kneading, and then injects some facial cleanser as lubricant, so that it is made into a ** tool, exactly the same as the hollow banana found in the trash can!

Bananas can't speak, but this innocent banana is clearly telling the police: there is a sexual pervert in the building!

Drawing Dragon said vulgarly: There is a man who bananas in this building.

It was not difficult to find this perverted person, and although there were no fingerprints left on the tape, the DNA of the male staff in the building could be checked against each other. However, based on the current evidence, the special case team has not been able to link this banana with the headless murder of the elevator. DNA testing is time-consuming, laborious, and requires a lot of effort, and the end result is likely to find a sexual pervert who has nothing to do with the case.

The investigation direction of the special task force is mainly to search for the tools of the crime, mobilizing all police forces to focus on the garbage cans in the building and the hidden corners where items can be discarded, but the wire rope used in the murder has never been found.

Professor Leung encouraged everyone not to be discouraged and not find the tools to commit the crime, at least to prove that the deceased did not commit suicide.

The special case team made a simple portrait of the murderer: this person used the elevator to kill people, indicating that he knows the elevator structure and operation very well, and the elevator maintenance personnel, elevator monitoring personnel, night patrol security guards, and elevator cleaning personnel are all suspicious and should be investigated. After the murderer killed, he took away the tools of the killing, and no evidence was left at the scene, and the planning of the whole case can be said to be almost seamless, indicating that the murderer has a high IQ and attaches great importance to details. It is possible that this person often watched homicides, and the editor of the publishing company where the deceased worked, especially the editor of crime mystery books, was also suspicious and needed to be investigated.

Officer Zhou said: The deceased was just a small editor, he had no money, his property was not lost, and the motive for the murder was nothing more than love or vendetta.

Professor Liang said: Don't think so simply, the motives for the crime are diverse, even if it is a vendetta, it may not be a grudge against the deceased, creating an elevator bloodbath, spreading an atmosphere of fear, or it may be a grudge against everyone in this building, or a hatred for the publishing company where the deceased worked. Even if it's a love killing, factors such as a crush or homosexuality should be considered.

The police were divided into two groups, with Officers Long and Zhou investigating the property workers of the building, and Bao Chu and Su Mei investigating the publishing company where the deceased worked. In this mission, Professor Liang asked them to make a preliminary list of suspects, and at the same time pay attention to safety, the murderer is likely to be still in this building.

This time, both groups have made new progress.

Bao Chu and Su Mei questioned Wen Xiaowan's colleague at the table, she is a propaganda editor, and others call her Zhong Xiaobian. During questioning, the girl appeared flustered, stumbling, and fiddling with her fingers with her head down. It is clearly written in the criminal investigation and interrogation tutorial that most liars will dodge their eyes when questioned by the police, and some liars always like to touch themselves.

Bao Shu doesn't think that this Zhong Xiaobian is the murderer, because the murderer's psychological quality will not be so bad, and intuitively judged, this girl must know something

Feeling.

Su Mei asked her to put down her burden and answer the question truthfully.

Zhong Xiaobian told the police that the deceased Wen Xiaowan had been harassed by the company's editor-in-chief, but it was commonplace for her boss to harass female subordinates in the office, which happened in almost every large company, and she herself was harassed by her boss. What terrified her was that in the elevator of this building, she had experienced many strange things that were difficult to explain.

Once, Zhong Xiaobian worked overtime at night, heard the sound of knocking on dishes in the empty corridor, ran out to look, a swaying figure appeared on the wall at the corner of the stairs, someone was lighting candles there, and strangely it was that there was no power outage at that time.

Another time, Zhong Xiaobian took the elevator alone and went home late at night. When I went down to the eighteenth floor, the elevator stopped for a long time, and finally slowly opened. Outside, the porch was dimly lit, and a man dressed in black came in, and the man in black walked into the elevator with an umbrella.

Su Mei: Did it rain that day?

Zhong Xiaobian: No, there was a moon that night, and even if it rained, there was no need for an umbrella in the elevator.

Bao Shu: Is there monitoring in the elevator?

Zhong Xiaobian: Yes, there are four elevators in total, only the freight elevator is not monitored, and I never dare to take the freight elevator.

Bao Chop: The man with the umbrella, he wants to cover his face.

Zhong Xiaobian's blog also wrote an article "Ten Taboos in the Elevator", which shows that this timid girl is somewhat superstitious, excerpted below:

1. The elevator is said to be a yin-yang door, which can connect hell and the world, and is often haunted by ghosts. Modern elevators are made of stainless steel envelopes, and the surface is bright, especially when you ride alone at night, so don't stare at your own image, and it is said that if you last more than five seconds, you will see something terrible.

2. Ladies who love makeup should pay attention, if something falls in the elevator, don't look back from between your legs when you look down to pick up something; If you drop the mirror, don't look at it when you pick it up, and an unfamiliar face may appear in the mirror.

3. If you are about to enter the elevator and find someone you don't know staring at you, don't enter the elevator and wait for the next trip with the excuse of pressing the wrong one. It is said that that person is a ghost, and ordinary people can look away at it.

4. When you are alone in the elevator, and find that someone you don't know is staring at you, get out of the elevator immediately, and never stay in it, the reason is the same as above.

5. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a situation of 3 or 4, then you must remember that if the other party asks you what time it is, never tell him, it is said that it is your death date, and make other excuses to say that I didn't bring the watch or that the watch stopped.

6. In the elevator, it is taboo to ask others the time, it is easy to misunderstand, and if there is really a ghost around, tell you that the time is your death, remember.

7. When a lady is standing in an elevator with another strange man, remember never to stand behind or in front of that man, you should stand side by side with that person. It is said that both evil spirits and evil people are willing to attack people from behind or in front of them, and you can resist by standing side by side.

8. If the elevator is not in the right position after opening the door, but half of the ground is exposed, don't rush out, press the call button and wait for rescue, it is said that accidents often happen in the process of you climbing out. At that point, the elevator will suddenly fall or lift, squeezing you to death.

9. If you find only one pair of shoes in the elevator, don't go in, it is said that the ghost is standing there and you can't see it.

10. If someone walks into the elevator with an umbrella, leave immediately; If you see someone with an umbrella in the elevator, don't go in.

Bao and Su Mei questioned the editor-in-chief again, and this person was an intellectual in his forties, who looked mild-mannered and spoke calmly, which he denied

harassed female subordinates, but said that several female employees in the company took the initiative to seduce him, and there were even female authors who wanted to let the editor-in-chief publish their own books through unspoken rules. Bao Chu and Su Mei didn't get too entangled in this ambiguous relationship between men and women, and directly asked him what he was doing at the time of the crime.

The editor-in-chief's answer was: It was a weekend, and I listened to cross talk at the Tianqiao Theater after work until I left at 12 o'clock at the end of the night.

Bao Chop: Are you alone?

Editor-in-Chief: I'm with a lot of people, and there are a lot of people in the theater.

Bao Shu: Is the theater close to here?

Editor-in-Chief: It's very close, about ten minutes by car, if you think I'm lying, I can tell you the content of cross talk.

Wen Xiaowan's boyfriend, Yang Zi, first ruled out suspicion, and Yang Zi's roommate confirmed that he was home on weekend nights. The soundproofing facilities in the house they share are not good, and if a person has any movement, the next door can always hear it.

After the investigation was completed, the special case team drew up a list of suspects, and in addition to the editor-in-chief, there were two security guards and a duty officer in the elevator control room.

On the night of the incident, two security guards were in charge of security patrols on the floors of the building, and they were most likely to approach the victims. The two security guards, one tall and one short, the tall one is nicknamed Silly Big One, and the short one is called Trouser Pocket. The two security guards were very fond of horror reasoning, and had borrowed books from the publishing company where the deceased Wen Xiaowan worked. Another staff member on duty edited the elevator surveillance video into a video, in which you can see a lot of white-collar beauties, and beautiful women are alone in the elevator to sort out thongs or take off stockings and other glamorous pictures, including Wen Xiaowan in the elevator glued to the milk sticker, fragrant shoulders and jade back, at a glance.

The video clip was widely circulated inside the property and was also seen by two security guards.

The special case team interrogated the two security guards separately, Professor Liang took out the banana and put it on the table, the stupid big man felt very strange about the banana, and even covered his mouth and laughed. During the interrogation of the short security guard, the young man, nicknamed the trouser pocket, changed his face when he saw the banana.

Prof. Leung: We should write a lost and found and post it in front of the building.

Trouser pocket: I don't know what you mean.

Draw Dragon: Brother, is this banana something you lost? Yes, admit it, it's all men, understandable.

Bao Shu: We can do DNA testing, we can't escape.

Trouser pocket: Well, I'll admit, I've used this thing.

Prof. Leung: How do you use it and on what occasion?

Trouser pocket: It's night, alone, in the duty room.

Bao Chop: You lied, there are no fingerprints on the tape, which means that you made this thing with gloves, and a person who likes to masturbate will not masturbate with gloves, which will reduce the excitement. You're supposed to be in the elevator, wearing this thing underneath, and the security guard's pants are loose, so you can't see anything out of the ordinary. You stand behind a beautiful woman in an elevator and masturbate with a banana to orgasm. I guess you sometimes have the audacity to use your banana to top the butts of those white-collar beauties, right?

The trouser pocket said: Is there any evidence, even if this is the case, it can't be said that I killed that woman, you should beat someone next, right?

At the end of the interrogation, the special case team felt that the two security guards were very suspicious, but there was no evidence to confirm who was the murderer. Bao Shu remembered Zhong Xiaobian's words, the man in black with an umbrella, and the sound of knocking on the bowl in the middle of the night. It is likely that there is a psychopath in this building, who has done a lot of weird behavior, and maybe, he doesn't know that he is mentally ill, or even that he killed someone.

If it is a normal person, why knock on the bowl in the middle of the night, light a candle without a power outage, and take the elevator alone with an umbrella?
