Chapter 2: The Suspects
Ye Yu's cold sweat came down.
What do you mean? Why did the big boss of their company take a picture of him? He's just a hairy reporter who has just joined the company, and he hasn't met the boss a few times!
And, "the last photo taken before the accident"?
Ye Yu looked at this photo intently, the background seemed to be downstairs in the company, and the self in the photo was carrying a backpack with a dusty look, as if he had just returned from an interview outside. Judging from the clothes, a blue casual jacket and jeans, this is exactly what I dressed yesterday. Yesterday, because of an urgent mission, it seemed to be almost ten o'clock in the evening when I rushed back to the company.
According to the chief of the building, it means that Chen Yan had an accident last night? And did you meet yourself not long before the accident?
Ye Yu carefully recalled the situation when he returned to the company last night, and he didn't have the impression of meeting Chen Yan at all, but he may not have noticed it because he was too tired.
"It's ...... What's going on? Ye Yu recovered from the shock and cast his puzzled gaze on the chief of the building, hoping that the other party could give an explanation.
"Chen Yan's time of death was about 10:15 last night, judging from the data of the surveillance camera, Chen Yan left the office at 9:30, walked out of the north gate of the first floor of the company at about 9:35, and walked in the direction of the auxiliary building, presumably planning to go to the garage of the auxiliary building. However, strangely, the cameras in the annex building and the underground garage did not capture him, and the cameras at the entrance and exit of the park did not capture Chen Yan leaving the park. ”
"But the next morning, Chen Yan was found dead in the underground garage of the annex building," Ye Yu said, "It's really strange, as if he appeared there out of thin air......
The headquarters of H Group has an independent park in the city, and its first building has two buildings: the main building and the auxiliary building. The main building is a 24-storey office building, and Chen Yan's office is located on the top floor. The hall on the first floor has two gates, north and south, of which the north gate is facing the annex building, and the annex building is only about 50 meters away from the main building, with a total of three floors, and the main facilities are staff canteens and warehouses. The garage is located on the basement level of the annex building and is only accessible through the annex entrance.
"By the way, when was this photo taken?"
"This photo was taken at 9:45 last night, that is, the blank period between Chen Yan leaving the monitoring range of the camera at the north gate of the main building and speculating on the time of his death." The building chief said slowly.
"But...... This is very strange......" Ye Yu became more and more confused, he clearly remembered that he entered through the south gate of the main building last night, and the background shown in this photo was also consistent with his memory.
"This photo was taken near the south gate of the main building, and Mr. Chen had left the north gate of the main building at 9:35 to go to the garage of the auxiliary building, not to mention the time difference of ten minutes, the south gate and the north gate are basically two directions, and you can reach the auxiliary building by walking straight out from the north gate, and you don't need to go through the south gate at all. Unless ......"
"Unless?" The chief of the building observed Ye Yu's expression, as if he was waiting for his answer.
Ye Yu really couldn't say this answer...... Chen Yan, who was supposed to go to the garage from the north gate ten minutes ago, appeared at the south gate in the completely opposite direction. The only possible explanation is that he deliberately went around to take pictures.
The big boss of a large group company deliberately guarded the door and secretly took a photo of a rookie reporter - yes, from the perspective of the photo, it should be hiding in the corner to "secretly take pictures" - just imagining the scene of the fat boss bending his waist and squinting his eyes to secretly take pictures of himself, Ye Yu's hair already stood on end.
"Sir...... Isn't it...... What's wrong? For example, this photo was not actually taken by Mr. Chen? ”
"Unlikely," Chief Lou said directly, "The information in the photo shows that it was taken from Chen Yan's bracelet, and this kind of bracelet can only operate under the premise of verifying the wearer's DNA and pulse. ”
"That'...... Could it be Mr. Chen, the ...... Just slipped to the vicinity of the south gate, inadvertently misoperated, and happened to be photographed? Ye Yu is still "dying and struggling".
"Hehe, theoretically there is such a possibility, but do you think that someone will repeatedly review a photo taken by mistake and be reluctant to delete it?" The Lou chief's tone was a little playful, "According to the information recorded by the bracelet, your photo has been viewed more than a dozen times. "
I...... Strangle...... Piece...... Go!!
Ye Yu was about to go crazy, and suddenly felt the urge to resign in minutes.
"Chief Lou, what do you want to say......" Ye Yu held his forehead and didn't want to speak anymore.
In fact, Ye Yu had already realized that there was a big problem that had not been mentioned before - the cause of Chen Yan's death.
The news only said that no fatal injuries were found, but did not explain the real cause of death. But if it was just an ordinary accident or sudden illness, the building chief would not analyze the monitoring data so carefully, and he also violently cracked Chen Yan's personal bracelet...... You must know that in this era, people are very concerned about **, even if they are police officers, doing this kind of thing at will may lead to lawsuits.
With the professional sensitivity of a reporter, Ye Yu already understood that he was afraid that Chen Yan's death had another inside story, could it be that he killed him?
Having said that, because of this photo taken by Chen Yan before his death and his strange behavior, he shouldn't be regarded as a suspect, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Yu couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, ......what is the cause of Mr. Chen's death?"
As if he had expected Ye Yu to ask like that, Chief Lou pulled up another report from the virtual screen and showed it in front of him.
"This is Chen Yan's autopsy report, you can take a look at it yourself."
"No physical injuries were noted...... The immediate cause of death is...... Stress shock due to external stimuli? "
Ye Yu looked puzzled, "What does that mean?" "
"To put it simply, he was scared to death."
The chief of the building said lightly, "Before he died, he should have suddenly seen something very terrible, which caused him to go into shock and die instantly. Moreover, judging from the situation at the scene, the expression of Chen Yan's corpse was distorted with fear, which confirmed the results of the forensic examination. "
"But in order not to bring you a psychological shadow, I won't put photos of the scene." As he spoke, the building chief put away the virtual screen.
Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief, if he showed him the photos of the scene, and then thought of Chen Yan's previous pictures of himself secretly, I am afraid it would be the rhythm of nightmares every day.
"Chief Lou, although Mr. Chen's bracelet has a photo of me, but I really don't know anything, after returning to the company that day, I worked overtime in the office until midnight before leaving, and the company's surveillance video can prove it." Ye Yu defended himself.
"I've seen this from the surveillance, so I'm just coming over to find out a little bit about the situation." The chief of the building got up, "Now that I know about it, it's time for me to leave." "
Ye Yu also hurriedly stood up, hesitated, and asked, "Chief Lou, although there are many strange things about this matter, the direct cause of Mr. Chen's death was caused by fright, it should be regarded as an accident, right?" "
"Hehe, if it was an ordinary accident, I wouldn't have been asked to go out." The building chief gently hooked the corners of his mouth, got up and said.
"It's ...... What do you mean? ”
"By the way, don't disclose the content of my conversation with you today to a third person, for your own good." After speaking, the building chief ignored Ye Yu, pushed open the door of the conference room and walked out.
"Ah, of course! Rest assured! "
Of course, Ye Yu wouldn't say that if the people in the company knew that their boss had collected a "jade photo" of him, or it was taken secretly, how could he mix it up in the company.
Walking out of the conference room, I saw Director Wang smiling and about to send the building chief away, Ye Yu looked at the figure of the building chief, thinking back to what he said earlier, and felt more and more that this person was very unusual.
Special Investigation Bureau...... What kind of institution is it?
Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw the chief Lou looking back at him, his lips and teeth opened slightly, and he quickly said something.
Ye Yu was surprised, but the director didn't seem to notice the sudden move of the building chief next to him.
It's lip language. Ye Yu thought to himself. At the same time, it was quickly interpreted.
"Yes...... Discuss...... Conference room? ”
Could it be that there was a third person hiding in the conference room just now?
Ye Yu instantly became nervous, and hurriedly looked at the door of the conference room, but did not find anyone appearing. When he turned back, the building chief had already left the office.
