"Okay!"

The news reached the maintenance worker Jean, who shook his head at the operating electrical box, and then took the flashlight and shone it into the nearby shaft.

"If that doesn't work, the only thing I can think of is to go back to the roof, climb down from the top of the elevator, and manually restart the elevator."

in the monitoring room.

Ronald and Adolphus looked at each other, then pressed the button and responded.

"That's all you can do, Jean, call me when you get there."

"Ok, wait for my news."

Jean let go of the walkie-talkie button and looked straight at the shaft, feeling a strange feeling in his heart, he always felt that there seemed to be something inside, and the more he looked at it, there was always a sense of déjà vu that should not have passed in his mind.

So, he approached cautiously while following it, but before he could reach it, he was startled by a strange noise in Wadang.

"Hell!"

Jean cursed, and the flashlight shone inside, but the visibility of the shaft was even lower than outside, and he couldn't see it all.

So, he kept approaching until he entered the shaft, where he finally saw something that made a strange noise.

It was a few wires of steel that were being pulled together by some force.

Jean's eyes widened, he looked up at the elevator hovering above, and finally cursed.

“oh！ shit！！ Hell yes!! ”

With his voice, the taut tightrope slammed towards him......

Monitoring room.

The two security guards staring at the surveillance screen had only two options.

One waits for the police officer to arrive, and the other waits for Jean, the maintenance worker, to return to the roof.

So the only thing the two could do was to stare at the surveillance screen and continue to wait.

Perhaps he was already impatient with waiting, and Adolf began to feel a little irritable.

"Ronald! Why haven't you come yet, our dear officer? ”

“shit！！ All our taxpayers' money is in vain? ”

Ronald glanced at his captain and chose to ignore it, he just kept staring at the surveillance screen and continued to reason about the murderer.

The situation in the elevator was the same as before, the lights were still flickering, and the passengers inside seemed to be saying something, but no sound came.

Ronald looked at it and couldn't help but take out his cross and pray in his heart for the innocent passengers inside.

"God, please bless these poor people."

However, as he took out the cross to pray, he seemed to see a skull composed of afterimages in the afterimage left by the flickering lights.

"What's the situation?"

Ronald stared at the surveillance screen in a daze, only to feel dazzled, he blinked, the lights were still flickering, but the skull was gone.

"What's wrong?" Adolf heard Ronald's movement and looked at him.

"Ronald, what did you find?"

Although it is no longer visible, the scene that happened just now also left a trace in Ronald's heart, he clung to the cross and stared at the surveillance screen.

"Nope."

Adolf didn't care, looking at the other surveillance screens, looking at the scene inside, his tone relaxed and still full of mockery.

"Our dear officers are finally here."

……………………………………………

Jesse Building.

A crowd of people flocked in.

"Go, seal off all entrances and exits, disperse the crowd."

"And bring me the entry and exit registration book, too."

“……”

Jeffrey and Baker, who were in charge of the case, went all the way and commanded, and in a short time the entire Jesse Building was under the control of the police.

Greeted by Adolphus and Ronald, Jeffrey and Baker arrive at the surveillance screen.

Jeffrey stared at the situation inside, his face calm.

"Nothing should happen before we get there, right?"

Adolf responded, giving everything to account.

"No, officer, it's just that the lights are suddenly a little problematic, and our maintenance crews are ready to work on the repairs......"

"And they can hear us, and we can't hear them......"

“……”

As soon as he heard the maintenance worker, Jeffrey stared at the surveillance screen and looked at his colleague Baker, who had already analyzed in advance before coming, the murderer inside could kill people in the elevator, and the maintenance worker was suspected of answering inside and outside.

"Where are your maintenance workers now?"

Adolf was stunned, didn't understand what he meant, and looked at Ronald.

Ronald glanced at the surveillance screen and responded.

"Jean? He may still be in the basement or on the roof. ”

Hearing this, Jeffrey nodded at Baker.

Baker understood in seconds, waved his hand and hurriedly left the monitoring room with a few police officers.

"Officer, what's going on?"

Jeffrey didn't answer, just picked up the walkie-talkie that Adolf signaled, looked at the monitor screen and pressed the button.

"I'm Officer Jeffrey of the NYPD, and we're doing our best to get you out, it won't take too long,

So you have to stay calm, now you do what I say, take out what proves your identity and hand it to the monitor, we want to know who you are......"

Jeffrey's voice rang out in the elevator, perhaps because the police were coming, and the four people who were huddled in the four corners and guarded against each other breathed a sigh of relief.

In the flickering lights, Marcus in civilian clothes shrugged as he looked at the other three who were not moving.

"I'm not a murderer, I'll come first."

As he spoke, under the still wary gazes of the three of them, Max took out his identification from his pocket and watched the monitor lift it.

Although the lights are still flickering, you can still see the names inside.

"Max Ward."

In the monitoring room, Jeffrey instructed Adolf to write down Max's name.

"Next."

Hearing the voice, Max knew that he was over, and returned to his place with an indifferent face, looking at the other three.

"I'll come."

Things got to such a point that no one could avoid it, and the black man Ralph fought for the second one, and walked out of the corner and carried his number plate to the monitor.

"Ralph Luke."

Registration has also been completed in the monitoring room.

Then to Abigail, Vic, and even the old woman's ID card was pulled out......

"May Birrell."

“……”

Jeffrey took Adolf's paper and handed it to a police officer on standby.

"Let the bureau check the situation of these people, I want to know where their connection is, and I also want to know if there is a relationship between them and the deceased."

Homicide cases generally track down the motive and reason for the murderer's attack, which is the key to the investigation of the case, and the police officer knows the importance of it, and hurriedly leaves with a paper.

"Hoo ......"

Jeffrey exhaled lightly and continued to look at the surveillance screen, his gaze lingering on the black man Ralph and the civilian Max.

When he arrived at the scene, combining all the information, his suspicions were already on the black Ralph and the plainclothes Max.

If there were a maintenance worker outside to answer or secretly arrange, with the physical fitness of these two people, they could indeed kill May Birrell in an instant when the lights went out.

However, this more reasonable reasoning was impasseed by Baker's notice.

“oh！ shit！ Jeffrey, he's dead. ”
