Chapter 41: The Dead Man's Elevator
"Dude!"
By this time, Bell had already walked out of the main church building with his coat on his shoulder, and followed Jeffrey's side.
"Well, what do you think of this figure?"
The lean Jeffrey didn't even look at his colleague, pulled out his phone from his arms, and continued walking.
"I don't know, don't ask me, after all, I have a problem with my brain."
"Oh my God......" Baker patted his forehead and apologized.
"I'm sorry! Jeffrey! I'm sorry! ok? ”
However, Jeffrey ignored Baker and sped up to the police car on the side of the street.
Baker followed, his mouth kept talking.
"Hey man, don't do this, you should know, it's just kidding......"
Until the two got into the police car, Baker, who didn't hear a response, spread his hands a little angry.
"We've been working together for so long, you still don't understand me? Well, whatever you want! ”
Hearing this, Jeffrey glanced at Baker, who was sitting in the passenger seat and seemed to be sulking, and said calmly.
"If you think Father York is that mystery man, what do you want to do or what you will do?"
"I'll ......"
Baker raised his eyebrows slightly, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't answer the question.
It occurred to him that even if he felt that Father York was the mysterious man through the comparison of his figures, he still couldn't do anything.
Jeffrey inserted the key into the car hole and said calmly.
"We're only here to complete the task, not to do anything, because the dead are rotten animals, and the bureau doesn't do anything about it,"
Airplanes!!!!
The police car was activated, and Jeffrey calmly said as he stepped on the accelerator as he cut the gear.
"So what you should take seriously now is this case that is happening now......"
Rumble!!!
The police car sprang forward, rushing into the dark moment where it had left the church.
It didn't take long for the traffic to melt into the city center and speed towards the city center.
"Elevator homicide? Or did it happen at Jesse's Building? ”
As his colleague had said, Bell quickly shifted gear, frowning, remembering a case of jumping off a building he had received yesterday, which happened to happen in the Jesse Building.
"Hmm!" Jeffrey, who was in charge of driving, recalled the messages on his phone and said in a succinct tone.
"According to the informant's description, there was some kind of malfunction in the elevator of the Jesse Building, which trapped five passengers, but not long after, the lights suddenly went out due to the malfunction, and when the lights were restored, one person had died in the elevator......"
As he spoke, Jeffrey closed his mouth and looked at the traffic in front of him, the shining neon lights, and his brow furrowed more and more.
According to the information he received, one of the most suspicious points was that the elevator malfunction had occurred for a long time, and during this time, the professional maintenance workers had not found out the cause of the failure, which made him suspect that the murderer inside had some kind of connection with the maintenance workers.
"Watts?"
Baker still couldn't figure it out, "Man, is this murderer looking down on us?" How dare you kill someone right under your nose? ”
Jeffrey didn't respond, just threw the phone at Baker, then stepped on the gas pedal and slammed it to the end.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Airplanes!!!!
"Hey!! Man, slow down, slow down!! ”
At Baker's call, the police car overtook every car in front of it.
At this moment, in the Jesse Building, where the murder has occurred, there are two security guards sitting in the monitoring room, one of them, the gray-eyed security captain Adolphus, is holding a walkie-talkie, watching the surveillance is trying to keep the people trapped in the elevator calm.
"The police will be here soon, please stay calm, we'll try to keep the lights out again, okay?"
That being said, but when someone suddenly and inexplicably dies in the elevator, or hangs himself, no one will stay calm.
There were only three men and one woman left in the elevator, and the deceased was an old woman, who was being hung in the air by a rope, with a hideous face and a long tongue drawn.
Abigail, who was wearing only a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, was a little hysterical, crying and panicking.
“fk!!! Dead a man!! Who can calm down this tm!! ”
She huddled in the corner of the elevator, staring at the three people who were also guarded and nervous, and now all the rest were men, which made her wariness and fear rise to the limit.
The second living person was Ralph, a tall black man who had just been on the job for a day in a security uniform.
He glanced at the hanged old woman, swallowed the non-existent saliva, and shrank in another corner, facing in all directions, and finally stopped his gaze on the two men next to him, his eyes wary.
In his heart, Abigail should not be able to do this, and only a man would have the strength to lift an old woman, especially this man in civilian clothes and with a thick body.
"Damn! Hurry up and fix the elevator! I can't stay in this FK elevator for a minute! ”
At the same time, Max, who seemed to be able to sense the special defensive gaze of the black man, was also most of his wariness on the black man at this time, and for him, only Ralph could do this quietly.
The last living man was Vic, who was in a gray suit like an elite man and a diminutive stature, who was not even as good as Abigail, crouching in a corner and crying in horror.
“please! Come on!! ……”
What they don't know, however, is that no one can hear their prayers.
Adolf in the surveillance room looked at the person in the surveillance whose mouth was moving, but no sound sounded, he frowned and looked at the subordinates next to him.
His subordinate Ronald understood, picked up a walkie-talkie, and approached his mouth.
"Man, where have you been?"
Dim basement.
The voice was transmitted to another walkie-talkie through a certain channel, and Jean, a maintenance worker who had just finished checking the wiring in the mechanical room, stopped checking the main wiring in the basement, his eyes were a little strange and a little puzzled.
"The main line in the basement is also fine, it looks normal."
Ronald looked at his captain, Adolph, and then spoke into the intercom.
"Man, you need to hurry, there's someone dead in the elevator, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it."
Jean was a little surprised and a little incredulous, he was going to die at this moment, but he looked at the general line where everything was normal, and shrugged.
"Okay, I'll speed things up, but it looks like there should be no problem on the line, I need to go to the elevator shaft to check it."
The voice reached the monitoring room, and Ronald and Adolf looked at each other, and could only respond to the walkie-talkie.
"Okay, good luck, man."
Listening to the response, maintenance worker Jean put away the walkie-talkie, took one last look at the line, still did not check the problem, he tilted his head and could only press the strange feeling, and continued to walk deeper with the handset.
