Article 272
There was no one in the office, and Lao Ma turned on a computer. Then take out a USB drive from your pocket and insert it into the main unit. Then he opened a video on a USB drive. The video appeared to have been taken by a surveillance camera, and I could tell at a glance that the picture inside was the gate of 1204. I looked at the shooting time again, it was more than a month ago, that is, a few days after Zhou Shuai fell into the elevator shaft. The old horse dragged the progress bar and pulled the time to about ten o'clock in the evening.
A man appears on the screen. The quality of the building's camera is not good, and the image is not very clear, but judging from the clothes and walking posture, it is Zhou Xiang. From the direction he came out of the stairwell, and I guess he just went to the stairwell to smoke and came back. I saw Zhou Xiang swaying towards the gate of 1204, and he was groping for the key. That's when a woman walks into the frame. The facial features are not too clear. But look at her tall and tall, with long hair in a shawl, wearing a long skirt, and a cigarette in her mouth. She walked up to Zhou Xiang and faced Zhou Xiang and leaned against the wall next to the 1204 door. Then she took the cigarette from her mouth, seemed to smile at Zhou Xiang, and said something again. Zhou Xiang was stunned, and then took out a lighter from his pocket. It seems that the woman borrowed a lighter from Zhou Xiang. But looking at her frivolous movements and expressions, I always felt like a prostitute who deliberately accosted her. I asked Lao Ma, "Do you know this woman?" The old horse shook his head: "I can't remember everyone who enters the building. I nodded and continued watching the video.
The woman took the lighter and looked at it twice in her hand, then shrugged her shoulders and left with the lighter, Zhou Xiang chased after her in surprise, and saw the woman pointing upward. I guess she meant that there was a sprinkler system for firefighting, so you can't light a cigarette. Then the woman smiled and hooked her finger at Zhou Xiang, Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment and followed, and the two walked out of the picture.
"Who is this woman?" I said to myself. The old horse glanced at me: "Look at her movements, hehe!" It won't be his daughter-in-law anyway. Then he pulled the progress bar again, and the clock advanced by about ten minutes. I saw that Zhou Xiang and the woman walked to the door of 1204 together. But this time they came over with each other in their arms, making love like a couple. When Zhou Xiang opened the door, the two couldn't wait to kiss together. The door opened and the two entered the room. Then the video is gone.
I sighed secretly, this Zhou Xiang. The police have confirmed that Zhou Xiang did have sex before his death, so Zhou Xiang's death must be inseparable from the woman in this video. However, why did the police say that there was no trace of the woman at the scene of the crime? "Why didn't the police mention the video?" I asked the old horse. Lao Ma said: "The police came to me to check all the videos, but the video of the building is set to be kept for only one month. Videos that are more than a month old are automatically overwritten, and you see that this is already a video from a month ago, so the police didn't see it. I secretly copied the current one myself. "Then why don't you give it to the police?" Maybe this woman is the murderer. I said in a bit of a hurry. Lao Ma glanced at me disdainfully: "Then how do you explain that the police said that there was no trace of a woman at the scene of the crime?" "I was speechless, I can't say that the police investigation is wrong! The old horse leaned back and leaned back on the back of the chair: "Let me tell you one more thing, after discovering this video, I watched the video recording for several days in a row, and the woman never walked out of the door of 1204 again." Also, the videos of the last month were taken away by the police. They also didn't find the woman gone.1204 My brain was running out, and I looked at the old horse in a daze. Lao Ma lowered his voice and said: "In other words, this woman has not come out since she entered 1204 on this day, and she hid it very well, so good that she didn't even leave a trace, and even the police investigating the case couldn't find it." "No way, unless she's not human!" I say. "That's right!" The old horse looked at me and said in an aggravated tone, "She's not human!" "I had a chill down my back.
When I walked out of Lao Ma's office, I couldn't tell what it was like. I only felt unusually depressed and heavy. I don't want to drive, it's not far anyway. I walked step by step in the direction of home. The cold wind of late autumn puffed up the hem of my clothes, and although it was not yet winter, the icy wind still brought a biting chill. There are very few pedestrians on the street, and everyone is hurrying to their homes, eager to enjoy the warmth of home. I suddenly felt a strange loneliness. Xin's phone called, and hearing her gentle voice, I was immediately relieved. I told her what I had experienced today, and Xin sighed and said, "Withdraw the shares and go, don't hold on there, it's not worth it." "I didn't speak, but for the first time my heart began to waver.
Two days later, our project was reviewed by the customer, but to our surprise, the customer shot us for the prototype without giving us any specific advice. After many inquiries, the boss finally figured out that our company was too small, and the customer was worried that our strength was not enough to undertake such a huge project, so it had already been decided to be another well-known software company in China. We're just giving people a bid. The blow was almost fatal for us, and the whole company fell into an atmosphere of pessimism.
In the afternoon, Zhou Shuai came to me and told me that he had decided to leave here and come to move things today. He thanked me for the help I had given to their brother over the past few months. Looking at his pale face and slightly swollen eyes, I couldn't help but think of the first time I saw him, how ambitious and high-spirited Zhou Shuai was at that time, but in just a few months, he was not only injured and almost killed, but also lost his twin brother who grew up together. Now he seemed to be ten years old, his sideburns were covered with hoarfrost, and his face was full of haggardness.
Watching the workers move the last box of things into the elevator, Zhou Shuai shook hands with me again and said goodbye. Looking at his departing back, I knew he would never set foot in this sad place again in his life.
Seeing off Zhou Shuai, with indescribable sadness, I walked towards the company, and when I passed by 1204, I raised my head. The room of the black hole gives people an inexplicable sense of horror. It's an empty room again, and it's got another piece of tragic history. Looking at its closed door, I felt a surge of anger. I suddenly felt the urge to smash the door, and I gritted my teeth and walked to the door, just then a hand grabbed my arm strongly. When I looked back, it turned out to be the senior general manager of the property company, and he appeared behind me at some point. He was staring at me silently...... (ENDS)
