Upon hearing that the office belonged to the manager of this game company, Shen Xing was slightly startled and asked, "Is your manager here now?"
"Yes, in the office." The short-haired woman nodded.
"Excuse me, let's go to the manager's office." Shen Xing nodded.
The short-haired woman walked in front, pushed open the transparent glass door, and then stood inside to hold the door for everyone. After everyone entered, she hurried to Shen Xing's side to lead the way.
Shen Xing asked: "What's your manager's surname?"
"My surname is Wu, my name is Wu Yan." The short-haired woman answered.
"Did he work overtime at the company last night?" Shen Xing asked seemingly casually.
The short-haired woman recalled it and shook her head: "I'm not sure. I left yesterday after get off work, but my colleagues in the planning department are working overtime. There is a new project that is being planned these days."
Shen Xing nodded and asked no more questions.
Everyone came to the door of the manager's office. The short-haired woman knocked on the door, and a man's voice came from inside: "Please come in."
The short-haired woman opened the door, stood at the door and said, "Manager Wu, Mr. Sheriff is looking for you."
A slightly fat man behind the desk raised his head in surprise, looking towards the door, and saw Shen Xing and Lu Yang entering one after another.
Neither the property receptionist nor the short-haired woman came in.
Wu Yan, a slightly fat man, said to the woman waiting at the door: "Pour you two a cup of tea. Mr. Sheriff, do you have anything to do with me?"
The following words were addressed to Shen Xing and Lu Yang. As he spoke, he stood up, walked quickly to the two of them, and shook hands with them respectively.
Lu Yang said: "There is a case. We were investigating in the building, and we happened to come to your place."
While talking, Lu Yang noticed that the game company manager named Wu Yan did not wear glasses. Although he looked slightly chubby, he did not look like he had undergone any surgery, especially brain surgery.
Usually, people who have undergone craniotomy will leave more or less scars on their heads, and some hair cannot grow and heal completely like normal people.
Even for some people who have undergone craniotomy, their expression and coherence of speech will be partially affected. This impact can be easily felt by others.
Since Wu Yan is the manager of a game company and has produced several popular games, he must have a bright mind, strong logic, and careful thinking. When talking to Shen Xing and Lu Yang, his eyes moved very quickly. I don’t know. What are you thinking.
Shen Xing was different from Lu Yang. He first used the abnormality sensing skill to check, but there was no feedback. He also looked more carefully, first paying attention to Wu Yan's cheeks, especially the brow bones, forehead and other parts.
If this anomaly wants to hide its eyes that are different from ordinary people, it will definitely do tricks in these important places to make it look like ordinary people.
A pair of eyes that can see 360 degrees without blind spots. Shen Xing does not believe that those eyes are exactly the same as ordinary people. There must be something different, either in size or shape.
"It's a hit-and-run case." Lu Yang had already communicated with Shen Xing before arriving and explained the reason for the investigation. "Because the surveillance video is a bit blurry, we can only investigate one by one."
"Oh, that's it." Wu Yan felt relieved and his expression became much calmer. "I wonder how long this case was? I didn't commit any hit-and-run behavior. I have always abided by traffic laws."
Lu Yang glanced at Shen Xing and replied: "At around 7:46 pm last Wednesday, at the intersection of Puyang Road and Square Road."
"No, no, that's not me. I worked overtime at the company last Wednesday and didn't leave until early in the morning. The employees of my company's planning department and program department can testify for me." Wu Yan said immediately.
Shen Xing took the opportunity to ask: "Did Manager Wu also work overtime last night?"
At this moment, he couldn't feel the eyes on Wu Yan that were staring at him last night, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was him looking at him.
After entering this office just now, Shen Xing was already sure that the window yesterday was in this office. Looking at it from this position, it perfectly corresponded to the window he looked at from the hotel.
Of course, the person last night might not be Wu Yan, but it might also be Wu Yan in disguise.
"Last night?" Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, "I was in the office last night and worked until about eleven o'clock, and then I left."
The look that Shen Xing saw was at two or three in the morning, and Wu Yan at that time should have left long ago according to him.
In addition, there is currently no display of abnormality sensing skills, indicating that Wu Yan is not likely to have a hidden abnormality.
In the past, Shen Xing's way of judging abnormalities was through the abnormal eyes, but the abnormal eyes were not accurate. Some abnormalities that did not show abnormal characteristics, that is, were in a camouflage state, could not be identified unless the other party showed their flaws.
But after absorbing the anomaly sensing skills of the Thought Sentinel, he believed that the misjudgment rate had been reduced to a very low level. It was impossible that he could not detect the abnormality right in front of him.
Unless Wu Yan is super abnormal.
However, Shen Xing knew very well that "Compound Eye" was only a high level, not even sub-super level.
After talking for a while, he and Lu Yang symbolically asked one or two employees of the planning department. After the other party gave Wu Yan an alibi, the two took the opportunity to leave.
Back in the corridor, when the property receptionist went to press the elevator button, Lu Yang asked Shen Xing softly: "Brother Shen, is that guy not suspicious?"
Shen Xing shook his head: "Originally, I thought it was him, but after observing it, I concluded that he was not."
Lu Yang sighed and said: "It would be great if the Monroe virtual wireless transmitting device could be moved here openly and openly. After get off work, let these people be shot one by one at the door of the building. The results will be available in a day."
"If we do that, that guy might be scared away in advance." Shen Xing said with a smile.
At this time, the elevator arrived, and the two entered the elevator under the reminder of the property receptionist, and began to determine one by one whether the five originally scheduled people were abnormal.
Two hours later, Shen Xing and Lu Yang returned to the lobby on the first floor and sat on the leather sofa in the lobby.
After this round of searches, the five originally suspicious people were eliminated, and Shen Xing also turned on abnormality sensing on the floors he passed. He expanded the scope and checked, but found no trace of any abnormality.
However, after such a search, due to the wide coverage, his mental energy was also greatly consumed, and he was almost exhausted.
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa, talking to Lu Yang, playing with the blood-pupil wood carving in his hand, and staring at it to increase the speed of recovering his mental power.
"What should we do now? Do we need to check all those who wear glasses?" Lu Yang asked.
Facing so many people, and the characteristics of the suspects were not obvious, he felt helpless in finding a needle in a haystack.
Shen Xing shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Did we come at the wrong time?"
"Why do you say that?" Lu Yang was surprised.
Shen Xing raised his head and looked around the hall, as if thinking to himself: "Is there anyone in this building who only works at night?"
Lu Yang was slightly dazed, then raised his hand to call the property receptionist who was standing not far away, and asked: "Who in the building only works the night shift?"
The receptionist said: "The security team, the staff on duty in our property duty room, and, um, the cleaners."
"Cleaner?" Shen Xing frowned slightly, "Do the cleaners here only work at night? Don't they start after get off work?"
"No." The receptionist shook his head. "Because the area is very large, we did not set up a special cleaning team. Instead, we outsourced it to a cleaning company and asked them to clean it. The working hours of this cleaning company in the White Tower Building are from midnight Start until before six o'clock in the morning."
"Only exterior wall cleaning is done during the day," he added.
"Which cleaning company was contracted to?" Shen Xing asked.
"Don't we already have this in our building?" the receptionist said with a smile: "The one you visited today is the Baita Cleaning Department on the 45th floor, a subsidiary of the Civil Affairs Department."
"Damn, I was careless!" Shen Xing sighed secretly.
"The cleaners responsible for cleaning our building all come to work at night and finish work at six o'clock the next morning, so we can't see them now." The receptionist continued.
"Can they enter other companies' offices to clean?" Shen Xing asked.
"Not entirely. It depends on whether the unit has such a need. If there is a need, they will communicate with Baita Cleaning in advance and then reserve the office keys that need to be cleaned." The receptionist said: "Baita Cleaning's cleaners Due to high professional ethics and monitoring, there has never been a single incident of theft during the cleaning process.”
"Approximately how many people clean the building every day?" Lu Yang asked.
"About 90 people," the receptionist replied. "The number will increase or decrease depending on the workload received every day, but it will not be less than 70 people."
After a pause, Shen Xing made a decision: "We may be on duty here all night tonight. You just need to say hello to the security team. There is no need to send someone to accompany us."
The receptionist said, "Let me ask the boss for instructions."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran to the side and made a phone call just like before.
After a while, he quickly returned and asked: "Mr. Sheriff, do you suspect that the suspect is among the people working the night shift?"
"Well, the chance is very high." Shen Xing nodded, but immediately reminded: "Only you and the senior management of your property company know about this matter. If it is leaked in advance, tomorrow we will have patrol cars from the entire Public Security Department to patrol the building. The building is completely locked down!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the receptionist was frightened for a moment, but also Lu Yang stared at Shen Xing with wide eyes, secretly thinking that his nose seemed a bit too big!
"No... no problem. I will report the truth to our leader immediately." The receptionist nodded hurriedly without doubting that this was just a bullshit, and ran to the side to make another phone call.
"Brother Shen, do you really want to stay here all night?" Lu Yang came over and asked softly.
Shen Xing nodded: "I guess there is a high chance that the anomaly is disguised as a cleaner. If we don't alert the snake, there is a high chance that it will appear at night."
"This guy has been pretending, neither revealing himself nor harming others. What on earth is he doing here?" Lu Yang wondered.
"To be honest, I really want to know now." Shen Xing looked at him.
After a while, he added: "If it's inconvenient for you at night, you don't need to stay with me here. I can handle that guy by myself."
Lu Yang shook his head: "It's okay. The team leader asked me to work on the case with you in these two days, and put other cases aside for now."
"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Xing patted him on the shoulder and asked casually: "Are there many cases in the past two days?"
"Many, very busy." Lu Yang nodded.
"Can you please tell me what the case is?" Shen Xing asked.
"Brother Shen has gone out." Lu Yang said: "Ten days ago in Qiufeng Community, a man living alone was killed at home. The forensic doctor determined that his death time was around eight o'clock in the evening that day. But according to people in the community, Residents said that they still saw the man on the green boulevard of the community at almost nine o'clock that night. And more than one person saw him, and at least five more residents provided the same testimony."
"Then how did you investigate?" Shen Xing asked.
"After the autopsy of the man's body, there was no abnormality. It was just a normal dead body." Lu Yang said: "After checking the residents who provided testimonies, we speculated that they might have suffered from delusions caused by mass hysteria, because we were in the community. A man who looked similar to the deceased was found in another unit, and there is a high chance that these witnesses mistakenly identified him that night."
"This is an answer." Shen Xing nodded, "But we can't give up on another possibility."
"What's possible?" Lu Yang asked curiously.
"Was the dead man involved in another case?" Shen Xing asked.
Lu Yang immediately gave a thumbs up: "After this, another murder occurred in the community next door. A woman was dismembered at home, and the body was hung in the bedroom in lumps. The scene was horrific. We were in her Fingerprints were found at home, which were later confirmed to be those of the dead man. However, forensic identification showed that the woman died after that man, so we guessed that it was someone who looked similar to the man who deliberately collected the fingerprints of the man's corpse. , wanting to put the blame on the male corpse when killing this woman, creating the illusion of a ghost murder. After all, there are so many people in the community who can testify that the man is resurrected."
Shen Xing shook his head and said: "I suggest defining it as an abnormal case, because there is another possibility. The dead man seen by the residents of the community was most likely the man himself after death. He went to the community next door after his death. Kill that woman."
"You mean, he is abnormal?" Lu Yang asked.
"Even if he wasn't, it's possible that some anomaly controlled his body." Shen Xing said.
Lu Yang thought for a moment and nodded: "It is indeed possible. After all, it seems far-fetched to use collective hysteria to explain the scenes they saw among these adults in a comfortable home environment."
"Start with the dead woman, check her relationship, and what she was last exposed to before she died. Maybe we can quickly find this anomaly." Shen Xing said.
"Yeah." Lu Yang took out a small notebook from somewhere and wrote it down carefully.
"By the way, there is another case." He seemed to regard Shen Xing as a case handling consultant at this moment, and said: "Didn't you see me answering the phone all the time yesterday? It was because of this case. Since last month, we have been on the phone every week Every night, I would receive a police report. It was from a woman, saying that someone was trying to kill her. But after the sheriff went to check the address, he found that it was an abandoned address, and no one lived there at all. "
"Every time the report is made, the address is the same?" Shen Xing asked.
"Yeah, the same one."
"Did you check the police report phone number? Is it the same one?"
Lu Yang nodded: "Yes, the phone number used to report the crime is the same every time, but after checking, it was found that this phone number has also been abandoned and no one is using it."
"Then check who was the last person to use this number?" Shen Xing gave a suggestion.
"I also checked and found out that the user has died a long time ago, and he was a man."
"In this case, we may have to have a phone call with that woman to find out some clues." Shen Xing rubbed his chin.
Lu Yang waved his hand: "Well, let's not talk about this. We have already reported this case, and we haven't received this weird phone call for two weeks."
