Xu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, quietly waiting for my reaction, I knew that as long as he behaved the slightest differently, he would call the police without mercy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

All this happened in an instant, so I didn't have the slightest room to prepare, in fact, this embarrassing situation should have been thought of a long time ago, but I naively thought that as long as I reported the name of the criminal police, I could easily get away with it.

But I never expected that the investigation here had not even begun, and I was already in a dilemma.

I slowly took off my hat, took off my scarf, took off my sunglasses, and reached into the inner pocket of my coat.

I don't know if the other party can see my anxiety, anyway, my heart is already pounding, I tried my best to keep myself calm, but I didn't escape Xu Ming's gaze, and calmly looked at him.

There are many times in life when you need to gamble, no one can budget everything in advance, and at this moment, the mindset determines success or failure.

I pretended to calmly take out the police officer card, stretched out my hand and handed it to Xu Ming, "This is my police officer card, if you don't feel at ease, take it to check the authenticity." ”

I said this sentence on purpose, and when I said this, my heart was about to jump out of my throat, for fear that the other party would really reach out and take it, fortunately, Xu Ming is a well-versed person, and it is this kind of person who gives me the opportunity to get through the trick.

I saw that a bright smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, and he reached out and pushed the document in my hand and said, "Look at what you said, I just want to see your document for the sake of prudence, how can I say that it is a check?" Now that you've seen it, take it back. ”

Hearing this, my heart blossomed with happiness, but I didn't dare to show it on my face, I took back my documents, and my back was already shocked into a cold sweat.

Xu Ming put a cup of hot water in front of me and said strangely, "Haven't you criminal police teams already investigated?" Why do you still send someone over? ”

I pinched the tone that a criminal police officer should have, and said mysteriously: "You don't need to know this, you only need to know two things, one, this is a secret operation; Second, please cooperate with my investigation. ”

"Understood, understood." Xu Ming nodded again and again.

"How many staff members are there in the Revenge Room?"

"Just one."

"Only one?" I asked suspiciously, "Then doesn't she need to rest on weekdays?" Your playground should be open all year round, right? ”

Xu Ming seemed to misunderstand what I meant, and hurriedly explained, "The work arrangements of our playground for employees are in accordance with labor laws, and there is no overtime work, as for the staff you mentioned...... Her name is ......"

He frowned, as if he had forgotten the other person's name for a moment.

"Xue Xilin." I'll remind you.

Xu Ming raised his eyebrows, "Yes, Xue Xilin, she really hasn't rested much in the past two years, but she is definitely a special case." As you know, playgrounds are different from other industries, with long working hours and no days off, so the basic configuration for a small project like the revenge room is at least two people, which can be easily rotated. But Xue Xilin resolutely did not want to partner, and we did not insist on it out of respect for her personal wishes. ”

"Respect her? I think it's respecting money, right? One salary to do two jobs, why not. I pouted disdainfully.

Xu Ming smiled, a little embarrassed, he hurriedly changed the topic, "But she really hasn't rested much in the past two years, plus she works hard, and she is rated as an excellent employee of the company every year." ”

Hard work......

I repeated these words in my mind, and if there had been no murder here, I might have thought the same, but now, it all seems to have turned into a conspiracy.

"I want all the information about Xue Xilin." I said in a deep voice.

Xu Ming nodded hurriedly, looked for it in the pile of documents on the table, and muttered in his mouth: "Your people also came to investigate two days ago, and I have already given them a piece of information, and now ...... Well, I'll have to make another copy. ”

With that, he looked up, shook a few stacked pieces of paper in front of my eyes, and then got up from his seat and walked to a photocopier not far from him.

Dozens of seconds later, Xu Ming handed over the copied Xue Xilin's materials to me.

I didn't rush to see them, but folded them neatly, put them in the side pocket of my coat, and then picked up the hot water that Xu Ming prepared for me and took a sip, and said, "How long has this Xue Xilin been working with you?" How did she get the job? ”

Xu Ming thought about it very seriously, "She should have been in our group for more than two years, as for the application path, I think it should be a job fair......

As he spoke, he picked up the personnel information on the table and looked at it, before he said with certainty: "Yes, it's a job fair." ”

"Then she was transferred to work in the revenge room as soon as she came here?" I asked again.

Xu Ming shook his head and said with certainty: "Of course not, new employees must first receive business training, and then intern for three months under the guidance of the company's old employees before they can apply for transfer to the corresponding positions." ”

"Then after her internship, she applied to go to the revenge room?"

"Yes, I remember that very well." Xu Ming's tone was affirmative, "Because Xue Xilin's internship performance at that time was good, it stands to reason that she could go to a more popular amusement project, which would be better in terms of salary and development, but she finally chose this relatively unpopular game, which was also unexpected by everyone." ”

"It seems that she was premeditated." I muttered softly.

Xu Ming didn't hear me clearly, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing." I waved my hand.

Originally, I wanted to ask some more questions, but I was afraid that if I stayed here for a long time, there would be changes, after all, I was a fake criminal policeman, and since Xue Xilin's information had arrived, it was time for me to accept it.

I got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, I gave a special order, "Remember, my investigation this time is an internal investigation, so don't make a noise, I will come back to you if necessary." ”

Walking out of the office building where the personnel department was located, I went straight to the revenge room without stopping, and it was exactly two o'clock in the afternoon.

As Xu Long said, he has arranged everything, the police on duty are nowhere to be found, and this revenge secret room has been like a plague-infected village since the murder, and few people come within a radius of a few hundred meters, but this also provides convenience for me to sneak into the secret room unnoticed.

In the secret room, everything remained the same, except for a pair of headphones, a finger and a black remote control on the table in front of a chair.

There are a total of eight red buttons on the remote control, and if I guessed correctly, they should correspond to eight pairs of headphones on eight tables, but I wonder if the design of these eight buttons is too cumbersome. If this place is expanded in the future, adding tens, dozens or even hundreds of seats, will it be possible that they will also prepare so many buttons? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to just write down where the buttons represent for a while?

Sitting on the chair that Xu Long had prepared for me, and looking around, I began to silently calculate in my heart that it was the victim Li Qing who was sitting in this position on the day of the crime.

Xu Long's arrangement is also appropriate, from the perspective of the victim, you may be able to see clues that cannot be detected from other positions, those details that are easy to be overlooked.

The moment I put on my headphones, the whole person seemed to be pulled back to the afternoon of October 18, and the reason why the murderer chose to kill on this day is self-evident.

Therefore, Li Qing's true identity, as well as the role he played in the old case three years ago, are also questions that must be dug deep now.

I found the button on the remote control for my headphones, then reached out and patted it on the table in front of me, and when I heard a slight echo, I pressed the button and slowly closed my eyes.

I could hear my own heart beating, faster and faster, more and more intense, even though the murder was long gone, but when I came back to this seat and sat back in this seat, it was as if I had returned to the day of the crime, to the source of all the nightmares.

After a brief silence, the game began again with the familiar and eerie old voice.

I listened to the recording word for word, my thumb pressing the red button from time to time to make the recording play and pause, and gradually, I noticed something very unusual, that is, when the recording sounded, whether the old voice was talking or silent, I could hardly hear my own hand hitting the table, even if I was thrashing with all my might, it was only a faint voice.

Suddenly, I felt like I had seen through something, and it was probably the murderer who used the special functions of these headphones to temporarily deafen everyone in order to achieve his goal of killing people invisibly.

Of course, this is only one of the murderer's modus operandi, and this alone cannot complete the entire closed room murder case, but it is precisely with this that it is enough to prove that the speculation of the so-called ghost and god murder is just the delusion of those of us who are frightened.

The murderer is a human, not a ghost!

As for what this method is that can make people temporarily deaf, I don't know, but it doesn't matter, it will be clear if I have time to ask Xu Long, and now, there are two more important doubts in front of me.

First of all, how did the murderer get in and out of this dark chamber without knowing it?

If this suspicion can be explained by the fact that he is among the eight of us, then the second suspicion also arises, how did he accurately find Li Qing in this dark secret room where he couldn't see his fingers, and then torture him to death?

Could it be that the murderer really has night vision?

I took off my headphones, stood up, and paced around the room, which wasn't too big, to be honest, not to mention being in the dark, and even though the whole room was lit up now, I didn't walk well, and the floor under my feet had become uneven due to years of stepping on it, and I would trip over it if I wasn't careful.

My gaze swept across the room, even around the room, but the result was the same as the previous times, I seemed to feel something, but I couldn't say it for a while.

I had no choice but to put this doubt away, put it back in my heart, sat back in Li Qing's seat, and pressed the button of the remote control again.

This is the fourth time I've listened to this recording, and I'm already numb, and the old voice in the recording has changed from eerie to weird at first, and now it sounds a little funny.

And when I took off the headphones again, I could almost recite the entire recording backwards, and the theme of this game is the same, Li Qing's death is undoubtedly a revenge homicide, the difference is that the murderer in the recording wants to avenge a person named Lin Xi, and in reality, it is Xue Zilong's family.

When I heard the name Xue Xilin, it was difficult to restrain my association with Xue Zilong and even Lin Xi, I always believed that there are not so many coincidences in the world, and behind every coincidence, there is an unknown secret.

What I am particularly concerned about is the truncated severed finger on the table, what message does it convey to the deceased?

Suddenly, I remembered a sentence in the recording after touching the amputated finger, "I'm not wrong, am I?" You remember it, even if I was blindfolded, you still recognized it! Then I don't need to say, you should know why you're here, right?! ”

That's right, this is something that can evoke the memory of the deceased, and in the end, Li Qing's act of holding it tightly in his hand just proves it.

……

Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by a hurried phone tone, the sound of an alarm clock, reminding me that it was time to leave.

I stood up, and as soon as I turned around, I saw another person next to the door at the entrance, sneaky, and before I could see his appearance clearly, that person had already run out of the secret room.

Immediately after, I heard the sound of the door slamming shut.
