[Option 2]
[Let young women wear deep holographic glasses and communicate with themselves remotely from the outside]
β¦β¦
The moon sets and the sun rises. As rush hour approached, traffic flowed into the main road in front of the FUCHS building from a distance, and was parked neatly in sequence.
Men and women dressed in identical suits got out of the car and entered the building. Their cars are directed by an automated guided vehicle system, some of which enter the equally high-rise multi-storey car park, and the other part is forwarded to the "Vacant Car Rental" service for instructions, where they are transported outside.
You have to work, and your car has to work. Some people have rooms that also work: those rooms are single rooms, but they are rented by two colleagues on the day and night shifts, who alternately sleep in the same cot.
This is Lodu. A city of pride and suffocation.
The peak period is gradually coming to an end. The traffic has dispersed, and there are no longer long queues at the entrances and exits.
A small white car slowly drove into the place at this time and stopped at the upper and lower points.
Zheng Zhuo, who was wearing a suit, pushed the car door open and walked out.
[FUCHS company work number 29998 Zheng Zhuo did not detect your attendance record]
The autobots on the side buzzed closer.
[Do you need to help you park your car in the multi-storey parking lot?] γ
"Let's stop in."
Zheng Zhuo nodded.
The automatic robot led Zheng Zhuo's car away. Zheng Zhuo looked in that direction for a while and walked in the direction of the company building.
The holographic glasses in his ears shimmered green as he turned his head.
β¦β¦
The employee card was swiped at the entrance, and the identity information was lit up and off. The data shows that Zheng Zhuo has been in this building for more than 20,000 hours, but for Zheng Zhuo now, it is the first time he has stepped into this building.
The security system did not intercept him. Nothing happened. Because many employees enter the building during their own hours, security does not pay special attention to those who enter outside of working hours.
Because if you pay attention, you have to pay them overtime. If you don't pay attention, you can also use the excuse that they are willing because of love.
The super strong air conditioner instantly took away all the residual heat that the sunlight brought to Zheng Zhuo. Stepping on the smooth, spotless, and slightly "clicking" ground, Zheng Zhuo smelled the special smell of central air conditioning.
A lifeless taste.
He walked to the elevator.
During non-morning rush hours, elevator utilization is relatively low. Zheng Zhuo watched as the eight elevators on the left rose upwards and the eight elevators on the right fell downward.
"It's finally here."
He sighed and muttered to himself.
"What floor is the utility room?"
ββ¦β¦ Rustle......"
There was a slight murmur in the holographic glasses.
"14th floor. Exit the elevator and turn right on the second corner. β
The newsletter is coming. Young women's voices.
As for the murmur just now, it must have been caused by her opening the deep holographic glasses at the same time.
Zheng Zhuo nodded.
He didn't go out of his way to avoid the camera while on the phone. Because he knew there was no way to avoid it β the building had been fully monitored 10 years ago. Cameras are mounted at every angle.
He could only walk in as deep as before, openly.
"The level of secrecy in the utility room is not high. Employee cards that are on leave can be swiped. β
In the headphones that come with the holographic glasses, the instructions continue.
"Understood."
After the young woman docked with Shen, she passed on the key information to Zheng Zhuo. The two of them made this plan this morning, and the actual implementation was very smooth.
It even went so smoothly that Zheng Zhuo missed it a little.
"It feels a bit like the support of the [subconscious world]. Don't you think so? β
"It's great that you can be so optimistic when the [Subconscious World] system is completely down."
"Don't say that. I need to stay mentally healthy. β
Zheng Zhuo made a hellish joke. The young woman in the headphones was silent, which made him feel a little guilty.
Ding. The elevator doors opened at this point. He hurried inside.
β¦β¦
Ten minutes later, Zheng Zhuo appeared at the door of the utility room on the 14th floor.
With no one nearby, he tried to open the door to the utility room with his staff card for the first time, and it worked.
Dodge in and lock. Coherent.
This was Zheng Zhuo's first attempt to sneak without any ability.
It doesn't feel bad.
(Of course, it could also be because I don't have the ability to see what's bad.) οΌβ
Zheng Zhuo said to himself in his heart.
Zheng Zhuo had thought that such a magnificent building would have a larger utility room, but it turned out that he was wrong.
What appeared in front of Zheng Zhuo's eyes was a dim, messy room of less than twenty square meters with steel frames on both sides.
Bundles of office supplies are placed on shelves. Between the shelves and the shelves, there is a narrow aisle.
Zheng Zhuo slowly approached inside. He tried not to make too many associations, but he couldn't help but imagine how he had found Shen's body here a few days ago.
And that's the purpose of his trip.
Zheng Zhuo came to the company during his vacation, and the reason for coming to this utility room is actually very simple.
3 days ago, he found Shen's body here.
There are many doubts about this matter.
The first suspicion was that he noticed it when he entered here.
(No cold wind.) οΌβ
The utility room is small and doesn't have any freezing facilities. There is only one air outlet connected to the central air conditioner, but due to the excessive number of items such as cartons, styrofoam, and foam boards in the room, the room temperature is several degrees higher than that of the hall.
Storing a corpse for a short period of time may not be a problem, but if the corpse is stored here for 2 weeks, it will definitely start to decompose.
But what Zheng Zhuo saw in the cold storage that day, there were no obvious signs of corruption on the deep corpse.
"There's no way to preserve corpses here." Zheng Zhuo told the young woman in the newsletter, "The deep body I found here that day must have been transported from somewhere else. β
Zheng Zhuo had also thought about this idea before. But......
"Why would they do this?"
The young woman asked a question that Zheng Zhuo also wanted to ask.
The young woman was killed by police officers who arrived after attacking Fox boss Wiltforss. There is no improper process in this matter. In other words, there is no need to hide Shen's body when she kills Shen - even if she didn't die at the time, she was killed by someone later, and she can completely disguise it as an accident.
If someone wants to hide Shen's body, it's for only one reason: knowing that the key is on Shen's body, but fearing that the key will require some measures such as fingerprinting.
If this is the case, it is indeed possible for the other party to discard the deep corpse after getting the key they want.
But that doesn't explain why the deep corpse was now dumped in the utility room with the hologlasses not removed.
(Is the other party hoping that someone else will also get the key?) Is that what it means? οΌβ
Zheng Zhuo fell into thought.
However, at this very moment.
Da-da, da-da.
Footsteps were heard at the doorway.
And the footsteps ......
βοΌβ
Towards the utility room.
β¦β¦
γQuestionγ
[Someone has come to the utility room!] How to deal with it? γ
[Option 1]
[Level 3 Intelligence]: Call up the local maintenance interface and lock the door through the staff channel. It doesn't cause a riot, but at the same time it's hard to get more information from the local area network of the utility room.
[Option 2]
[Level 3 Technical Ability]: Hack into the LAN of the utility room and lock the door. There will be a maintenance department coming soon to carry out the repairs, but more information can be obtained about who is in and out of the utility room.
[Option 3]
[Level 2 Calm]: Pretend to go out and talk to the other person while leaving. Get out of here for a while and come back later. It will be slightly delayed and easily identified as suspicious by the camera.
