Chapter 39: The Truth of the Mezzanine and Death

"Numbers?" Jiang Wan was stunned for a long time, she couldn't say where the numbers were, she looked at Chen Qing, and after thinking for a while, she asked Chen Qing: "What number." Is it related to the number of floors? ”

He shook his head, sighed and laughed twice, "In a sense, this case is really related to the entrance to the Backrooms we were looking for.

The people of the Foundation are too arrogant, too arrogant to come to the world. But they are looking for the entrance to the world, but they are not willing to get involved in half a step, they are looking for a fart in the world. ”

Chen Qing laughed, and most of the sorrow in his heart was dissipated.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Wan was a little puzzled when she heard his words: "What do you mean...... Unwilling to ......"

Chen Qing interrupted her and pointed to the outside of this building: "Let me ask you two questions first, question one: Do you see how tall this building is?" ”

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"How tall?"

She frowned and estimated, "There may be a ...... Seventy or eighty meters? ”

Chen Qing shook his head and said to her with a smile: "This is more than a hundred meters, which is nearly half the value." ”

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a lost voice: "How is this possible?!" That's half of the original floor area! Such a large economic expenditure on materials! How could this not have been discovered at the time! ”

Chen Qing shook his head again, this time he really didn't understand: "How do I know about what happened back then." But I guess it has something to do with the Backrooms. ”

He was silent for a while, and then continued to ask: "You say, how can a construction worker hide from everyone in the air at a height of tens of meters, bring a corpse to the site of piling and pouring, and throw the corpse into it.

It's difficult, isn't it? ”

Jiang Wan frowned, she had actually thought about this problem for a long time, and after dismemberment, she brought it over and conspired with several people, but no matter which method it was, the goal was too big, so big that it was completely impossible to succeed.

"I don't know." After a long time, she finally conceded defeat.

But Chen Qing immediately vetoed her words when he heard this: "No." You know. You already know. He looked at Jiang Wan and raised his hand to point to the sky.

What do you mean?

She frowned, followed Chen Qing's gesture and looked at the sky, the moonlight, the stars, and ...... A building that obscures the stars.

"Yes...... The extra 20 meters high? ”

She looked at Chen Qing, her eyes full of disbelief.

"That's more than 20 meters! The total cost is probably close to one million! Her voice was a little hoarse: "This is still a million years ago!" You ......"

But listening to her words, the smile on Chen Qing's face finally disappeared: "Is it hard to believe? It's almost impossible, right? ”

Jiang Wan instinctively wanted to nod, but looking at Chen Qing's appearance, she hesitated a little.

"But when all the wrong options are removed, no matter how impossible and implausible the remaining options are, then he is the truth." He looked at Jiang Wan and continued to explain after a moment: "Yes, if a building has to complete the process of throwing corpses and pouring during the construction process, it is basically impossible.

Unless in the process of his implementation, there is not a single worker around him.

And there is only one best reason to explain this, which is that they were not at that level at that time.

I think he first made a gap in the wooden planks for pouring, and then went into the mezzanine between the floors and broke the formwork, and then put the corpse in it, and with the lack of cement on that layer, the upper layer of cement flowed down, and the pressure caused the corpse to move from the mezzanine to the 'main floor' below. ”

Jiang Wan's face stiffened when she heard this, she nodded, her fingers trembled a little, she was about to dial the phone of the leader upstairs, but hesitated after a while.

"I don't know if I should notify them?" Chen Qing had already guessed it when he looked at her actions.

"yes......" she nodded, "If you tell them, won't you lead them into the Backrooms?" ”

"Don't talk about mezzanine. Or wait until we've solved it? He spread his hands without saying anything, and then said again: "Anyway, as long as you know who the suspect who put down the case back then, it's enough, and you don't have to find the first place to dump the body." ”

"This is procedural justice......" she looked a little embarrassed.

"But at least it will work out well. For me, it's nothing more than the difference between one plus one and one five plus zero five. ”

He waved his hand and led Jiang Wan into the building: "The location we are looking for should be on the mezzanine." We may have had to experiment in the elevator for a long time, have you notified the property to turn the elevator on? ”

She nodded and explained: "It's been notified, but after all, it's late at night, the security guard may be sleeping, and the self-inspection after the elevator starts also takes a certain amount of time, so it should be ......" Before her voice fell, the elevator room also happened to hear the bell of the elevator arrival.

"Look? Isn't that a coincidence? Chen Qing smiled and pressed the elevator door button, and the music in the elevator room came out.

The two of them boarded the elevator, first pressed the buttons on all floors, and then turned on the timer in their mobile phones.

After the elevator officially began to enter the upward movement, Chen Qing began to pinch the timer every time he reached a floor, and when they finished the whole twenty-five floors, the timer in Chen Qing's hand also recorded more than 20 times with a little error, but never a big time.

He looked at the records in his hand and pulled out the numbers that took significantly longer, and the time slots for these timers came from: the third, ninth, twelfth, fourteenth, nineteenth, and twenty-second floors.

There weren't many obviously abrupt floors, and he made a rough estimate, thinking that there were still floors in here that were incorrectly timed.

Listening to his thoughts, Jiang Wan was a little puzzled, why his estimated mezzanine would be much lower than this number, you know, the height of the floors in this building is 3.5 meters, if it is calculated according to 20 meters, there must be at least a distance of five floors.

After asking, Chen Qingcai happily explained to her: "Since the other party wants to make a mezzanine, it is naturally enough, and in order to be enough, he will definitely not lay it out according to the original size." That doesn't make sense, and the more floors you have, the greater the risk of exposure.

But an extraordinarily high mezzanine won't. ”

He looked at the content of the instructions on those floors, but he couldn't help but be a little curious, if someone looked down through the elevator shaft, wouldn't it be easy to spot.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he was also amused by his own stupid thoughts.

People are not stupid.

After laughing, he began to contact the person in charge of the elevator in the property, and after communicating with him, they decided on how to control the elevator stop.

Simple and brutal way, but I have to say, it works.

They pressed the descending floor again, and the moment the elevator began to slide accordingly, when the elevator reached the twenty-second and began to descend, Chen Qing's hand began to press the door opening button continuously, and in the moment of a second or two on the twenty-second floor, his hand had been pressed on the button more than a dozen times in a row.

The result was obvious, the elevator stopped, in a dark, uninhabited floor full of construction waste.

The light in the elevator shone outward, and that bit of light barely illuminated the road about two or three square meters of ground.

The floor slabs on this floor are rugged, yes, they have to be described as rugged, there are more cement clumps protruding here and there than on a smooth road, there are no wall panels on the whole floor, but you can't see anything in the dark.

In that darkness, it always feels like something is staring at you.

In the darkness, almost all the space was inscribed with two words: "unknown".

In the darkness, there might be a blood-soaked creature rushing towards the two of them in the next moment, or maybe a severed head would roll down to the feet in the next moment.

In the darkness, it was as if there was everything. Severed limbs, bloody? Or decaying creatures that walk.

Jiang Wan was a little frightened in her heart, she bowed her body slightly, there were already fine drops of sweat in her palms, it was too dark outside, and it was too quiet.

It's normal, but it's not normal enough.

She was afraid, and so was Chen Qing.

But in his words, fear is always born of the unknown and lack of firepower.

He took a deep breath, his gaze beginning to harden.

But he turned his head to look at Jiang Wan, and the other party's mood was obviously not quite right.

"There's something wrong with this place." He lowered his voice, as if he was worried about startling some animal in the darkness.

"Waste...... Nonsense......" Her words trembled a little, and the fine sweat on her hands was already wet under the magazine of the pistol.

"Don't you notice that your fear is too great?"

"This place...... It's too dark. She gritted her teeth, her teeth chattering.

"Let's go to another floor first." He nodded, his eyes full of jealousy for this place.

It was so dark that even the light of the elevator was swallowed up on the way.

It was as if some kind of creature was waiting for them in the dark, waiting for them to step into a trap.

It's full of things that aren't right.

The two pressed the door button, and on the way down, at the moment when the elevator left this floor, the two of them only felt indescribably comfortable in their hearts.

That instinct that comes from millions of years of human beings to seek advantage and avoid harm is always thinking about saving them.

But as the two of them descended, only the ninth floor was recorded before.

But the ninth floor is completely different from here, the layout of the ninth floor has been built, and there are some traces of decoration in the corridor.

It just looks like it's been abandoned.

And when they arrived here, Jiang Wan and Chen Qing's eyes began to become solemn again, again.

They were already wondering if it would be more appropriate to end this journey.

"What they say is true."

He stood in the elevator with infinite depression in his heart.

He turned his head and looked at Jiang Wannian and said, "Maybe we should keep a tinder?" ”

"What are you kidding, it's the duty of the old lady to keep an eye on you, okay!"

He smiled, a little bitter: "Then go back." Let's see if his grandmother is a human or a ghost! ”
