Chapter 25: Elevator Horror (3)
At the scene of the homicide, Mr. Ke was in danger.
Otherwise, he is not worthy of calling himself "Ke Jiaqi Man, Professor Suppressing Evil"!
Mr. Ke did not go to examine the bodies of the two deceased in the elevator because he was unprofessional.
His specialty lies in his "strong" reasoning and analytical skills.
He first analyzed the entangled security guards and mask men:
"You two, a sneaky one who looks like a worker handing out small cards, but it's also very likely that the killer is deliberately disguised as you. The other was dressed in the uniform of a hotel security guard, but the waiter at the hotel said that he didn't know you at all, and that it was most likely that the murderer was disguised.
Therefore, both of you are not afraid of it!
However, in the darkness just now, the two of you have been scuffling together, but you can prove each other's innocence, and you have no chance to kill.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, there may be more than one murderer, but the two of you will work together to commit the crime, and then prove each other's innocence. But in this way, this reasoning plot will be very complicated, and for us at this stage, we should simplify complex things, not complicate simple things, so this possibility can be ruled out for the time being. ”
"......" security.
"......" mask man.
Teacher Ke sneered, ignored them anymore, and turned his head to look at Tang Xuan.
"It's not me! I just ...... Just now was Xiao Lu ...... I was hit by your female assistant, and I was here at the elevator door all the time, and I didn't kill anyone. Tang Tao hurriedly explained.
Although Xiao Lu's face was a little embarrassed, she still nodded, proving Tang Lu's words.
"You've been here at the elevator door all along?" said a hint of anger in Mr. Ke's eyes.
Tang Lu looked at the bridge of Mr. Ke's red nose, and could only admit:
"Yes, I've always been here. And...... And it seems that he inadvertently punched someone......"
"......" Mr. Ke.
Fortunately, he maintained the demeanor of a scholar and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart:
"When the matter here is over, you and I will go to the police station to make a record, and then accompany me to the hospital for an examination. You will compensate for the medical examination fees, medical expenses, lost work expenses and mental damage expenses incurred in this process!"
As he spoke, he raised the broken eyes in his hand again and added:
"And pay for my glasses!"
"......" Tang Xuan.
For Tang Lu, who doesn't even have 200 yuan in his pocket, this is undoubtedly a huge amount of compensation.
But the strange thing is that the first thing he thought of was Shiqi, who asked him to pay for his stockings last night.
If Shi Qi next door asked for these compensations, he might be able to pay with his own body. But for the bald middle-aged man in front of him who was covered with fat, even if the other party was willing to let him pay with his body, Tang Yi would never agree!
He quickly withdrew his thoughts.
I was still trapped in the elevator, and this was still the scene of a murder, and two people had died, so it was a very serious occasion.
Although the huge amount of compensation is terrible, it is better than being convicted of a murderer, and of course he does not dare to offend this Ke Nan teacher possessed by Conan.
Tang Yi had no choice but to grit his teeth and nodded in agreement.
"Hehehe!" Teacher Ke didn't smile, so he was willing to let Tang Lu go for the time being, and then looked at Xiao Lu next to him.
"Me?" Xiao Lu pointed to herself, looking very surprised, and hurriedly defended:
"Mr. Ke, I'...... I'm your assistant, what motive can I have to kill someone? Besides, how can I, a weak little girl, have the ability to kill?"
Teacher Ke nodded slowly and smiled:
"I know it's not you, because you're the one I brought in, and I can't defend you. If you come out and clarify it yourself, it will be more convincing and effective. ”
"......" Xiaolu.
After Mr. Ke's analysis, the conclusion seems to be about to come out:
The murderer is not a security guard, not a mask man, not Tang Xuan, and not Xiaolu.
"So, the murderer can only be yourself?" the security guard stared at Mr. Ke with cold eyes.
"Me?" said Mr. Ke's expression was a little exaggerated. Then he let out a long sigh:
"Being able to ask such a question can be regarded as the best of the best, the best of the best, the best of the best.
I ask you, do you have a little bit of the most basic common sense?
Article 4 of 'Van Dyne's Twenty Rules' clearly states that neither the detective nor the police investigator can become a murderer. It's like holding a penny copper plate and insisting that it's a five-dollar gold coin, which is a false statement!
And at this moment, in this malfunctioning elevator, I, Professor Ke, am the detective here. ”
Detective, how can he be a murderer?"
"......" security.
"......" mask man.
"......" Xiaolu.
"......" Tang Xuan.
Teacher Ke seemed to have a sense of superiority in IQ, and suddenly asked:
"Forget it, I'm not going to sell you anymore. Do you think there are really just a few of us in this elevator?"
???
What do you mean?
The security guard, the mask man, Xiao Lu and Tang Lu looked at each other, inexplicably. Looking at Mr. Ke's serious face again, he was obviously not joking.
"Could it be...... Could it be a stealthy murderer?" the mask man couldn't help but ask.
Teacher Ke didn't answer, just looked at another corner of the elevator.
In the corner is a food truck parked with a white cloth.
A long white cloth hangs down, enveloping the bottom half of the dining cart completely.
Everyone is suddenly alarmed!
Is the real murderer hiding under the food truck pushed by the hotel waiter?
The security guard immediately glanced at the masked man next to him, and then the two of them approached the dining car left and right, and at the same time stretched out a hand, ready to uncover the white cloth covering the dining car.
Tang Lu took a deep breath and took two steps lightly, sealing the front of the dining car.
Relying on Yang Wei's physical ability, even if the murderer suddenly came out of the dining car, he was sure enough to be able to knock the other party down with one punch.
"Three-"
"Two—"
"One!"
The security guard and the masked man exchanged hand gestures, and then grabbed the white cloth on the dining car at the same time and lifted it in one fell swoop.
Then everyone in the elevator was dumbfounded
- There was no one under the food truck, and there was certainly no murderer.
But there are a lot of other things:
iPhones, laptops, SLR cameras, high-end cosmetics, brand-name women's bags......
Why do these things appear under the food truck pushed by a hotel waiter?
"Could it be...... Did this waiter steal it? He stole the guest's things?" the man in the mask was the first to react, obviously very familiar with the inside story of the hotel industry.
"It's a good thing he didn't know me yet, so it didn't fall into my hands......" the burly security guard sneered.
"......" Mr. Ke.
Obviously, his reasoning was not very reliable and his guess was wrong.
Professor Ke, who calls himself a detective, was a bit devastated.
He didn't care at all whether the character of the killed waiter was good or bad, whether he really stole the guest's things and hid them under the dining car.
He cares about the murderer hiding in the elevator
- A "stealth murderer" who came for himself on a special trip!
"Ahem...... Be quiet, give me silence, you heard that I ......," Mr. Ke shouted.
As soon as the voice sounded, the lights in the elevator began to flash for the third time.
One light and one dark, one dark and one light, and finally extinguished.
The elevator was plunged into darkness again.
"......" everyone
There were people moving in the dark, so the others moved naturally, and there was chaos again......
Tang Lu was very emotional.
The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find the light......
Darkness without light is the end of humanity's true despair!
It would be nice to have a light source, preferably a flashlight.
Thinking of this, Tang Yi suddenly woke up:
Who would use a flashlight these days?
Because of the function of the flashlight, hasn't it been incorporated into the mobile phone a long time ago?
Who doesn't have a mobile phone these days?
He hurriedly took out his domestic mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the screen, and clicked on the flashlight function.
A faint light pierced the darkness in the elevator, but it didn't catch anyone's attention yet.
Tang Xun had no choice but to slap the light of his mobile phone on his face and said loudly:
"Don't make a fuss! Look at me!"
Then he heard a scream from the side:
"Hell!" - it was Lu's voice.
"Smack!"
Tang Lu took a hot slap.
"......" Tang Xuan.
Fortunately, the misunderstanding didn't last long, and the others also understood Tang Lu's operation and turned on the flashlight function of their mobile phones one after another.
Then four clouds of light lit up inside the pitch-black elevator, illuminating the four faces suspended in mid-air.
Because they are all lit from below to above, these four faces look very hideous and terrifying.
In order, it is Teacher Ke, Xiaolu, Security and Tang Xuan.
What about the man with the mask who handed out the little card?
Everyone hurriedly used a flashlight to take a photo, only to find that the man in the mask had collapsed to the ground, from his neck to his chest, a large patch of red, and continued to bleed out, and even the mask he wore on his face was stained red with blood.
Obviously, the mask man and the middle-aged lady who was killed first were the same cause of death:
Cut your throat with a sharp blade and kill you on the spot!
There are no last words.
