Andy Lee, Chen Chuyao and Miss Litchi walked out of the main entrance of the annex.

Outside the door, the security personnel in black suits watched the few people who walked out of the annex diligently, thinking that he recognized all the directors and staff who had landed on the island.

The staff in the lobby of the annex have been respectfully sending several people to the vestibule of the annex.

"Where is Mr. Andy going?"

A young female staff member in uniform asked politely.

"We're ready to take a casual walk around the island!"

Andy Lee replied politely.

"You can take the shuttle bus to get to all over the island!" While speaking, the staff pointed to several luxury convertibles parked on the north side of the vestibule of the annex, which were the same vehicles that Li Andi and others took to the annex.

"Of course you want to go for a walk, you can also choose to walk." The staff member continued, "It takes about 5 minutes to walk from here to the main building. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the lake view villa, and the view of the lake and forest on the way is nice. ”

Li Andi and others wanted to investigate, so they chose to walk.

"Do you need to be accompanied by staff?"

"No need! Thank you. Andy declined the suggestion that the staff accompany him.

The size of the summit is small, and all the people who have landed on the island have done strict security checks, so there are only a few security personnel on the island in front of a few buildings.

In view of the previous murders, several directors landed on the island with security personnel accompanying them, and the security personnel on the island remained the same.

Chen Chuyao talked with the security personnel in front of the door, and the security personnel basically did not hide anything from Chen Chuyao's inquiry.

Chen Chuyao first confirmed with the security personnel the situation of several people who went to the main hall at the time of the crime.

On the evening of September 24

Vice Chairman Benson went to the main building at 17:50 and returned to the annex at 18:20

Director Wang Zhitao went to the main building at 18:10 and returned to the annex at 18:35

Director Guo Ziteng went to the main building at 18:30 and returned to the annex at 18:45

Director Wang Yumo went to the main hall at 18:45 and returned to the annex at 19:00

What the security officer said was completely consistent with the case file, and Chen Chuyao then asked, "May I ask if anyone left the annex during the period from 20:10 to 21:00?" ”

The security officer recalled the situation at the time and said: "Director Wang Zhitao left the annex at around 19:00 and returned to the annex around 20:50. ”

The security personnel should have understood the purpose of Chen Chuyao's question, and immediately explained: "However, after Director Wang Zhitao left the annex, he went to the direction of the artificial lake, and did not return to the annex from the artificial lake until 20:50. ”

"You mean Director Wang Zhitao didn't go to the main hall?" Chen Chuyao said along with the words of the security guard.

Security nodded yes.

"Can't you go to the artificial lake in the north first, and then go around the north side to the north side of the main building, or even to the west side of the main building?"

Chen Chuyao asked.

"This can't be!" The security officer affirmed: "The west side of the main building is a cliff facing the sea, and the north side is an artificial lake. As you can see, the main road on the island runs from the pier to the airport, past the main building and annexes, and finally from the east shore of the artificial lake to the lake-view villas on the north shore of the artificial lake. Therefore, if Director Wang Zhitao wants to get close to the main building, he does not have to follow the only road on the island from the north back, past the annex, and then to the main building. ”

"According to you, is it impossible to approach the main building from the north and west sides of the main building?" Chen Chuyao confirmed.

The security guard nodded solemnly.

"Can you approach the main building from the east side?" Andy Lee pointed to the window on the east side of the main building opposite.

"Because I've been on duty here, I can be sure that no one has been there between 20:10 and 21:00." Security personnel confirmed.

"Did this fountain erupt between 20:10 and 21:00?"

Chen Chuyao asked, pointing to the fountain located between the east window of the annex and the main building.

"According to the operation of the fountain, it does erupt from 20:25 to 20:30."

The security officer replied.

"If someone returns from the north when the fountain erupts and approaches the east window of the main building, can you detect it?"

Chen Chuyao then asked.

When the security personnel heard this, they immediately became a little uneasy, first looked at the main road to the north, then looked at the east window of the main hall behind the fountain, and finally shook their heads unwillingly and said: "In my current position, it is indeed impossible to observe. ”

"Did you leave here to patrol when the fountain erupted that night?"

Chen Chuyao immediately asked again.

The security officer shook his head helplessly......

Then, Andy Li and the three came to the back of the fountain and inspected the situation outside the east window of the main hall.

Between the fountain and the main building is a green meadow with some beautiful shrubs and flowers, and there is no road leading to the east window of the main building. Since the fountain erupts every 30 minutes, the flowers and plants are stained with water from the fountain.

"Looking at it this way, it is entirely possible that Wang Zhitao entered the main hall through the east window under the cover of the fountain." Li Andi looked at the many huge and exquisite windows on the upper and lower floors on the east side of the main hall and said: "But the doors and windows of the crime scene recorded in the case file are locked from the inside. It seems that it is still necessary to figure out how the prisoners locked the windows from the outside! ”

Miss Lychee folded her hands on her chest and said with a smile, "Interesting! ”

"Let's go to the main hall and the lake-view villa!" Chen Chuyao proposed.

"Good!" Andy Lee followed.

Then a few people walked along the main road to the main building.

After arriving at the main hall, several people first talked to the security personnel guarding the vestibule of the main hall. The situation on the night of September 24 was confirmed.

Vice Chairman Benson enters the main hall at 18:00 and leaves the main hall at 18:10

Director Wang Zhitao entered the main hall at 18:15 and left the main hall at 18:30

Director Guo Ziteng entered the main hall at 18:30 and left the main hall at 18:45

Director Wang Yumo entered the main hall at 18:50 and left the main hall at 18:55

Because Sheng Jingfeng had important matters to discuss with several directors, during this period, Sheng Jingfeng dismissed all the staff in the main hall until the end of the meeting, and only the security personnel in the vestibule of the main hall were always there.

"It's not the right time!"

Andy Lee spotted a discrepancy between what the two security guards had said.

"For the sake of memory, what I am talking about is whole time, and it is true that there will be a deviation of 1 or 2 minutes. For example, at 18:01, I might count it as 18:00. The security officer explained.

"It took about 10 minutes for Vice Chairman Ben Sen to leave the annex to get to the main hall, while it took about 5 minutes for the young directors Wang Zhitao and Wang Yumo." Li Andi expressed his doubts, "Even if there is a deviation of 1 or 2 minutes, why is the time when Guo Ziteng left the annex at 18:30 and the time when he arrived at the main hall was 18:30, could it be that you are mistaken?" ”

"Oh! By the way, I forgot to say it. The security officer explained: "Director Guo Ziteng came to the main hall by shuttle bus!" It takes about 1 minute to drive from the annex to the main building. ”

"That's ...... so"

When Andy Li heard this, he felt that it made sense, that is, there was no problem with time.

"Did Director Guo Ziteng take the shuttle bus because of his health?" Chen Chuyao then asked.

"Director Guo Ziteng doesn't seem to have any problems with his health." The security officer recalled the situation and said, "Maybe I just don't want to walk!" Oh yes! When Director Guo Ziteng came out of the main hall, I saw that he was walking very slowly, probably because he was unpleasant to talk with the chairman, and he looked preoccupied. ”

Andy Lee thanked the security personnel, and then several people entered the main hall.

The main pavilion is a 2-storey building, and in the center of the hall there is a two-way curved white marble staircase leading to the 2nd floor. The two large rooms on the first floor are the banquet hall and the conference hall, and the second floor is the reception room, study and bedroom of the former chairman Sheng Jingfeng.

Andy Lee met his assistant Feng Shalun in the hall, who had come to check on the preparations for the dinner.

Li Andi proposed to go to Sheng Jingfeng's living room to have a look.

Although Feng Shalun felt that this request of Andy Li was a little strange, because it was the private space of the former chairman. But after all, the former chairman has passed away, and there is no need to offend this new independent director.

"No one is using the 2nd floor now, after all, there was a murder, please take care of yourself!" Feng Shalun said with a smile: "Just please don't stay for a long time, if you are seen by the eldest prince and the second son, there is always something wrong." ”

"Thank you Assistant Feng for the reminder!"

Li Andi agreed, saying that he accepted his kindness.

So, the three of them went up the stairs to the second floor.

Facing the stairs is the living room, the door is closed at this time, Li Andi pushed open the pair of doors with beautiful reliefs, and the huge living room was displayed in front of the three people.

Li Andi and Chen Chuyao immediately surveyed the living room.

The window of the living room is facing the direction of the artificial lake, and when you look out from the window, you can clearly see the artificial lake outside and the lake-view villa across the lake. Looking down, there was a tidal flat, and there was nothing of note in the clearing except for a few shrubs and some reeds at the water's edge. The windows on the 2nd floor are about 5.6 meters above the ground, and the windows and sills are clean and show no signs of damage.

In the middle of the living room, near the bookcase, is a large desk, between which is the shape of a corpse drawn with a white pen, except for the corpse and the marble statue used as a murder weapon, which have been removed, and everything else is exactly the same as in the case file.

The door to the parlor could have been locked from the inside, and it could not be opened from the outside, even if there was a key to the room. At this time, the door lock has been damaged due to the reason of breaking in. There were no signs of a fight in the room.

Then the three of them went to the study and the bedroom, the window of the study facing the sea, and the window looked out of the window on the steep cliff. The bedroom window faces the fountain and the annex on the east side of the fountain.

There were no signs of damage or entry or exit in the windows and doors of both rooms, and there were no signs of fighting in the room.

"There is no sign of anyone entering or exiting the window, and there is no trace of a fight in the living room at all, the murderer must be someone who is familiar with Sheng Jingfeng, after entering from the main entrance, taking advantage of Sheng Jingfeng's unpreparedness, he used a heavy object to smash Sheng Jingfeng to death from behind." Andy Li analyzed: "But how did the murderer lock the door from the inside......
