After a few meetings, the general work of the school magazine was on track, and since editing work could be carried out outside of the activity room, no one went to the activity room for several days.

As an existence outside the system, Mo Ming does not have the work of being responsible for the editor, nor does he need to be responsible for the activity funds, and he is very idle. Although it was arranged to solve the ending of the serialized novel. But he also dragged it out again and again, and he didn't even look at a few sheets of A4 paper full of words. It's not that he's irresponsible, it's just that the deadline they handed over to him is next Monday, but Mo Ming has a whole weekend, so it's impossible to have no progress at all, right? But he seems to have forgotten that he has one more thing to do over the weekend.

After school on Friday, Mo Ming returned home. In the living room on the first floor, An Xiaofei was wearing white floral shorts and blue short sleeves with an orange five-pointed star print in the middle, holding a doll lying on the sofa and playing with her mobile phone, her feet raised high, very casual.

"I came back early today."

She greeted Mo Ming without raising her head, and Mo Ming just said "oh", then threw her schoolbag on the ground, sat next to An Xiaofei's feet, turned on the TV with the remote control, and tuned to a cross talk program. In the picture, the audience is being taken advantage of, and the audience is laughing back and forth.

"Brother Mo Ming, haven't you forgotten about tomorrow?"

Seeing Mo Ming's leisurely face, An Xiaofei was a little anxious, got up, stretched her neck, and dangled in front of Mo Ming's eyes.

"Ah...... What's the matter?"

Mo Ming poked his head to the side, just thinking about the reaction in his heart.

"Hey! Boyfriend! Boyfriend!"

An Xiaofei angrily stuffed a doll that looked like a bear and a dog into Mo Ming's face.

"What? Do you have a boyfriend? Congratulations."

Mo Ming was unmoved, as if he had really forgotten what he had promised? I guess it's a meaningless memory cleanup.

"Ah! Have you forgotten that you were pretending to be my boyfriend!"

An Xiaofei stood up, crossed her waist, and stared at Mo Ming very angrily.

Mo Ming reacted for a while, and after a cold "oh", it took a few seconds before he suddenly realized. It turns out that I promised this kind of trouble! Alas, why did I say yes in the first place?

"I haven't forgotten...... I haven't forgotten...... How can it be......

Mo Ming scratched his head in embarrassment, ah, this kind of thing seems to have really been forgotten.

"Definitely forgot!"

An Xiaofei didn't give up, thinking that this guy was too hateful.

"Okay, I'll go every day...... Don't worry, I'll go back to my room first."

Mo Ming broke out in a cold sweat, then waved his hand, got up and walked upstairs, ah, it turns out that he still has so many things to do.

"Humph! Don't disgrace me tomorrow!"

She reprimanded her cousin at all impolitely, Mo Ming often thought that she couldn't leave some majesty for his cousin? Anyway, I was born two years earlier than this girl.

"Ah...... No, I'll go first."

Mo Ming fled to his room in embarrassment, sitting on the desk, with a heavy heart, the original two days of thinking about the ending had shrunk by another day, it was not early today, he should be familiar with the topic, so he picked up the stack of A4 papers and focused.

On May 19, at 15:22, the police received a call that there had been a homicide in the city center. When Officer Ouyang of the police station arrived at the scene, it was already 16:03, and after arriving at the scene of the crime, he immediately carried out personnel blockade and scene protection.

The body was in a fifth-floor office in a high-end office building in the city center, about twelve meters high.

The deceased was a 49-year-old male, surnamed Chen, who was the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company, and the first to tenth floors of the office building were fixed assets of the company. This is the information that Officer Ouyang learned through the Internet retrieval in the car on the way to the scene.

It was a Sunday, a company holiday, and there weren't many staff on duty in the entire office building. The Department of Security is on a rotational basis, with no security personnel except for one person at the entrance of the office building and one person in the security room, for a total of two security personnel. The guards were empty.

Ouyang walked into the office and saw the corpse lying by the window of the office at a glance.

The office is 70 square meters in total, very spacious, with walls on three sides, a whole piece of glass on one side, huge brown curtains are pulled to both sides, there is no trace of destruction at the scene, and the head of the corpse is one meter away from the floor-to-ceiling window. The deceased had a bullet hole in his forehead, his face was facing up, his eyes were wide open, his pupils were dilated, his body was lying fairly regular, his legs were slightly open, and there was blood everywhere on the wooden floor of the office.

After Ouyang saw the scene, he did not rush to ask the police to take the body to forensic identification to determine the time of death. I just walked straight to the window, observed the bullet hole on the glass with a diameter of one centimeter, and then knocked on the glass, listening to the knocking sound, it should be tempered glass, otherwise the general glass will be completely shattered after being shot, and this glass is just an extra bullet hole. Ouyang then looked out the window, where was the best sniper spot in this direction? As a result, only 500 meters away is a building facing this high-end office building.

What is that building for? Officer Ouyang asked the police who had arrived at the scene earlier, and then learned that the building was a real estate development company, and the building was more than 240 meters high, which could be regarded as a tall building.

Where are the shells?

A policeman handed Ouyang the cartridge casing of a bloody Type 88 sniper rifle in a transparent bag, which had no fingerprints on it. Ouyang compared the glass hole of about one centimeter and felt that it was roughly the same.

After Officer Ouyang took a closer look at the corpse, he told the other policemen to take the corpse to forensic examination.

The scene was marked by a white fixed line of on-site traces, and a cordon was drawn outside the room, and traffic was prohibited. Officer Ouyang asked all the people present to record their confessions in another room.

It was Officer Ouyang's secretary Wu who called the police, according to him, today is a rest day, and all employees of the company are on holiday, so there is no employee. He was also resting at home, but he received a phone call, and Chairman Chen called him to the company, and the phone only said that he should go to the company, and nothing else was said. The time of connecting the phone is 14:21, this Ouyang can be confirmed by checking the call records, but because the two are anti-tapping business mobile phones, the content of the call cannot be confirmed, it is worth noting that Chairman Chen took a call from a public phone booth before calling Secretary Wu, about 14:18.

Secretary Wu also said that the boss called in a hurry, so he drove to the company, arrived at the company at 14:52, Xiao Zhang on duty in the parking lot can prove that the elevator arrived on the fifth floor at 15:05, and there was surveillance video in the elevator, at 15:07, he went to the boss's office and found that the boss was dead, so he quickly left the scene, ran to the security room on the third floor, found the security guard Xiao Li, and then called the police after discussion.

Isn't there a CCTV camera on the fifth floor?

There are no corridors inside and outside the office, and there are dead spots in the surveillance footage elsewhere.

Why aren't there in the office and in the hallway outside? Officer Ouyang asked.

Secretary Wu replied that because the boss was physiologically resistant to the camera, he probably didn't like to be monitored, so he didn't set up the camera.

The second person is Xiao Li in the security room.

I saw Secretary Wu at 15:15, when the secretary ran to the security room out of breath and told me that there was a homicide, I thought it was impossible, because there were not many outsiders entering the office building today, and they were all under surveillance, so I didn't believe it. But because of the principle of work, I still followed Secretary Wu to the office, and after seeing the real body, I decided to call the police.

Ouyang then asked, are you in charge of the company's security, or the entire office building?

Xiao Li replied, the whole office building.

The third person, the security guard on duty at the door, Lao Ma, said that he was on duty today, because there were few people coming, so he checked everyone with a scanner for prohibited items.

Less people? So the security check?

Yes, because there are few people on duty on weekends, so some people are too busy, so they use a security checker, and everyone will pass by this security checker, and it is impossible to bring anything suspicious in. It is also to prevent the loss of valuables in the office building.

Isn't it for personal safety? Is there only Sunday security? What about Saturday?

Personal safety is not guaranteed at all, and there are sufficient security personnel at ordinary times. There is also overtime on Saturdays, so there is no need for security checks, and everyone will be checked on Sundays.

The fourth person, Xiao Zhang in the parking lot, proved that Secretary Wu's words were true, and he was the only one of the four who said that he heard a banging gunshot, which he said was about 14:30. The location of the parking lot is on the ground floor, downstairs with the office windows facing.

There were several others with obvious alibi and no further investigation was conducted.

Officer Ouyang was a little suspicious, and then he also called the person in charge of the building 500 meters away from the office building to make a record.

Ouyang didn't tell Manager Liu what happened in advance, and only said to understand the situation.

That person is Manager Liu, it seems that he has recently had business dealings with Chairman Chen, about the development of a piece of land, Chairman Chen had signed a cooperation agreement with this real estate development company before, and after this incident, the signed contract could only be terminated.

Manager Liu, between about 14:21 and 15:22, did you make any strange noises in your company? Like gunshots. Or is it some suspicious person, someone who is able to carry a firearm?

I don't think so, I don't know. Officer, you can check out our surveillance footage. And I just went to the company from 14:30 to 15:00 today, had a short meeting, and I also pressed the point to go, basically no stay, and the company monitoring can know.

If the contract signed between your company and Chairman Chen's company dies, is this considered a breach of contract? Ouyang felt that something was wrong.

Chairman Chen is dead? Manager Liu was suddenly surprised.

Ouyang was expressionless, thinking that after asking if this guy had a gun, wouldn't he think in the direction of the homicide?

Well, yes, just died.

And this kind of thing...... Manager Liu quickly turned his surprise into regret.

If a legal person dies after signing the contract, is this considered a breach of contract?

It is not a breach of contract, it is force majeure, but the contract will be terminated naturally.

Manager Liu answered him neatly.

Is there any benefit to your company in terminating the contract?

Officer Ouyang asked the young manager with great interest, because he sensed disobedience from the manager's reaction, and he was too calm.

You...... What do you mean? Does time doubt our company?

Manager Liu's reaction was not so calm, as if it was a written script, which was suddenly tampered with and only the actor knew about it, panicked.

It's nothing, just ask, please Mr. Liu cooperate with us in law enforcement.

Oh, we are sorry for the death of Director Chen, and our losses are equally great, without any benefit and convenience.

Manager Liu's attitude is very tough and clear.

Oh? Would we like to know about a bidding event three years ago?

Officer Ouyang squinted his eyes and smiled, this is what he just heard Secretary Wu say, some episodes, stories about this Manager Liu.

You...... What are you doing here?

Manager Liu was completely panicked, and his speech was not neat, and he was still young.

Nothing, just kidding. Where is Manager Liu at 14:30? Can anyone prove it?

At this time...... I'm in a meeting, didn't I just say that! There are a lot of people who can attest, it's my employees, they're all there, you can ask them.

Oooh...... That's it, Mr. Liu, that's enough, I've already understood, you can get busy first.

After Mr. Liu left, a short time later, the results of the forensic examination came out, and the time of death was about 14:30 and thirty minutes, and the cause of death was a bullet in the head.

Oh, Ouyang is very helpless, judging from the motive and the conditions for committing the crime, the murderer is him, there is nothing new.

Ouyang sighed, just thinking about ordering him to be detained and then returning to the police station.

As a result, a thought flashed, he was stunned, and then suddenly held his head in pain, no...... It doesn't make sense!

Mo Ming read the novel of nearly 100,000 words in one go, focusing on the key content of the crime, and after reading it, he rubbed his eyes. Suddenly holding his head in pain, this ...... I don't understand this technique!
