0046 Chapter 2 Part 1: The Shadow of Death (Section 2)
At 11:45, when Zhen Cheng stood at the door of the security center on the second floor of the Ivory Tower, there was already a smart, capable man in his early thirties with a cold face beside him. The two security guards on duty stood at attention nervously.
Meet at the door.
Zhi Shi is one of the more than 30 deputy housekeepers in the Zhen family. He is in charge of the daily affairs of the thirteenth Miss Zhen Cheng. Like every colleague carefully selected from all over the world, Zhi Shi has a strong ability to do things.
It is most convenient to approach him for trivial matters that do not involve illegal activities such as requesting the convenience of the family's property today.
It's just that due to many conflicts between Zhen Cheng and his family, the guy who should be the most reliable around him is more of a spy than a helper. Therefore, the relationship between the two is more like that of a cold master and a slave who dislike each other.
There is no way to talk about trust or even dependence.
"Please show me the surveillance of all the rooms on the north wall from the 34th to the 46th floor, whether indoors or in the corridor, it would be better if there are ones outside the building." Recalling the details observed after the advertising screen accident in her memory, Zhen
Cheng pointed out several areas that were questionable.
The security guard on duty in the Ivory Tower quickly connected the dots on the console, and then everyone in the room saw...a whole row of black screens.
"This... Miss, we..." The security guard's head was in a daze, filled with all kinds of panic that he was about to lose his job. The presence of Miss Zhen's family caused his brain to shut down to the point where he could not even realize that a serious problem was about to occur.
Could not be triggered in time.
Zhen Cheng said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if it's not on these floors. Bring up all the surveillance cameras that can see the outer wall on the north side. I don't think they have time to destroy the scenery probe on the top floor, right?"
The opponent was well prepared. How could an opponent who could create such a serious public accident that could be called a terrorist attack be caught so easily? However, the dark row of surveillance screens in front of him confirmed Zhen Cheng's hypothesis step by step.
The scenery probe outside the building does not have a backup like closed-circuit surveillance. The main function of that thing is to project the scenery from high places in real time to many necessary departments, including the lobby on the first floor, for decoration.
It's just that the angle of the security room can be adjusted so that it can be turned along the edge of the building to bring the advertising screen on the north wall into view. These are the details that Zhen Cheng remembered only after special investigation during the week in his memory.
The manipulators intended not to leave any traces. Even if they knew all the surveillance arrangements in the entire ivory tower, there was no reason to take the extra risk of destroying a few probes that would not leave records or even be pointed at them intentionally.
Moreover, the 60th floor and above of the Ivory Tower are the private residence of the Zhen family. They are only used by some institutions with a higher level of confidentiality under the family. The security is extremely tight, so it is not easy to get in.
The stiff-minded security guard delayed the progress of the matter for another three minutes. After that, everyone vaguely observed the mounting interface of the advertising screen outside the forty-fifth floor below through the landscape probe at the top.
"Put it to the maximum." Zhen Cheng pointed to the vertical lower part of the screen close to the surface of the building.
Zhi Shi behind him also keenly noticed the weirdness of the matter, frowned and asked: "This transparent... barrel? What is it?"
"The thermite that delays ignition ignites through the convex lens of the outer package acting on the combustion accelerant containing magnesium powder. Afterwards, the container is completely vaporized without leaving traces, and the traces left by the fracture of the advertising screen can only indicate that it was welded
'. In other words, the criminal who sabotaged the surveillance will not leave any tail behind the upcoming terrorist activities,"
Zhen Cheng still remembered the police's inference after the accident that the falling advertising screen was not caused by loose screws, corrosion or explosion, but left strange traces like the connection structure was "soldered". Thinking of this, she
Then he added as if he had no money: "I guessed it."
After being followed by the God of Death for a week, coupled with the clear memory of being shot to death, she has begun to make inferences and analyzes based on the premise that everything she is encountering has been calculated by Qu Yun.
Although she couldn't understand the purpose of that mysterious transfer student at all, as long as she picked out the unnatural and man-made traces from the events she had experienced, she believed that sooner or later she would be able to catch the white-haired son and daughter's fox tail.
There is a coffee shop on the ground floor of the Ivory Tower that Zhen Cheng likes very much. Every time she goes to the Metropolitan Bureau as a detective to assist the police in handling cases, she will buy food at a fixed place. It is understandable that this is expected and calculated.
But there is another problem in this case, that is, even if the other party predicts that he will come to buy breakfast, how can he accurately estimate the specific time?
Zhen Cheng did not believe that the God of Death was coming. Rather than those mysterious things, she believed in the existence of extraordinary abilities and deceitful plans, and a certain beauty who brutally shot her to death happened to meet these two conditions.
Therefore, it is very reasonable to speculate that the series of "unexpected" disasters encountered in the past week are all planned by someone who wants to take his own life. Going one step further on this basis, there is a killer hiding behind the advertising screen and waiting.
Therefore, creating man-made "accidents" at the right time becomes the most likely possibility.
When Zhi Shi was called for help, Zhen Cheng originally predicted that the criminal waiting to commit the crime would be caught under surveillance. However, in fact, the other party's methods were far more professional and safer than Zhen Cheng expected, leaving no chance for her to easily break the situation.
But if it is an automatic delay device... the time spent waiting for a sandwich cannot exceed ten minutes at most. If this is really an attack on you as you expected, then how did the other party judge the exact time that you stayed under the billboard?
?
"Should we... call the police?" There was finally a person on duty in the security room who had woken up. Before the police and the law, they were first responsible for the Zhen family to which they belonged.
Ordinary people outside may not be able to imagine many of them, but within the system they know what is going on behind the scenes of the three major families that are far above all power agencies in the world.
Zhi Shi looked at Zhen Cheng, and Zhen Cheng waved his hand casually: "Whatever. From the perspective of accountability, I suggest you call the police, but when they arrive, they will probably only be able to collect the body.
You can also try to evacuate the people downstairs, and send people to try to remove the two transparent barrels at the welding point. To be honest, there is actually no danger until the things burn, and they probably won't burn if you take them to a cool place.
,"
As she spoke, she glanced sideways at the time on the monitor screen: "But even this estimation is too late, unless you can complete everything within five minutes."
