Chen Shu put away the searchlight and handed it to Chen Chuan, and the three of them ran to the main entrance of the shopping mall.
"Brother Shu, don't you need someone to stay and watch the scene?" Zhu Chaoran asked quickly as he passed near where the body fell.
Chen Shu glanced at the crowds of melon-eating people who were gathering around and taking pictures with their mobile phones, and shook his head: "It's okay, the police will be here in a moment. There is no use for us staying here, we won't find anything here."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt a little regretful. Maybe the fat man simply wanted to stay with him.
Chen Shu took a few steps slower: "Fat man, why don't you stay down there..."
Zhu Chaoran, who was following behind, had no time to brake and almost hit Chen Shu, who suddenly stopped in front: "It's okay, Brother Shu, if you say it's useless to keep it, then I won't keep it. I'll listen to you."
Chen Shu looked back at Zhu Chaoran, who had regained his composure with firm eyes, nodded and continued on his way.
The three of them entered the lobby on the first floor and bumped into a security guard who had just walked out of the guard room.
"Who are you! Why are you here!"
Chen Shu immediately took out Huazi and put it directly into the hands of the security guard who had just woken up: "Master, was there anyone going up in the elevator at that moment?"
Don’t reach out to hit someone with a smiling face, especially if you are giving a gift!
Chen Shu's performance of high emotional intelligence in this wave of operations was done properly.
The security guard wiped his face with his hands, took the cigarette and put it in his pocket with a smile: "I didn't notice, there shouldn't be one. Who would come to the building in the middle of the night? By the way, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Everyone was speechless. This security guard was really useless, just lying down.
Chen Shu replied: "Oh, let's go to the top of the building and have a look. Can we go up there?"
The security guard held a cigarette and waved his hand: "You can come up if you can. Everyone is off work at night, so no one is taking care of it. You can just take care of it. By the way, why is it so noisy outside? What happened?"
"Someone jumped off the building."
Chen Shu dropped his words and led Chen Chuan and Zhu Chaoran quickly into the front hall and pressed the elevator button. An elevator waiting on the first floor immediately opened the elevator door.
Chen Shu grabbed Zhu Chaoran who was about to lower his head and rush in: "Wait a moment."
He pointed to the elevator inside with numbers descending from the upper floor: "Someone should be coming down. Let's wait and see who it is."
According to what the security guard in the guard room just said, no one would come to the building during this time on weekdays. The three of them walked to the elevator door inside and waited for it to open.
"Ding dong."
As soon as the elevator door opened, there was indeed a young man standing inside.
Chen Shu took a closer look and saw that it was Yingying’s ex-boyfriend!
Chen Chuan tacitly took a step forward and blocked the elevator entrance.
Chen Shu walked to the elevator, looked into the other person's eyes, and asked directly: "You just came down from the roof?"
The ex-boyfriend must have recognized that these three men were the three men who had been drinking with his ex-girlfriend in the bar booth. Now he saw the other party questioning him in a bad tone, but he did not want to answer, and asked: "Why?
, why should I talk to you?"
Zhu Chaoran, who was already calm, now jumped over Chen Shu towards his ex-boyfriend, grabbed his collar and slammed it against the mirror in the elevator, gritting his teeth and saying:
"Let me ask you, did you come down from the roof?"
The man in front of me was a little confused. This huge man, who was over 180 meters tall, was really unable to react when he met him.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"What do you want to do! I'm going to call the police!"
"Let me go!"
Chen Shu, who was watching with cold eyes, suddenly said: "Yingying is dead."
The ex-boyfriend was originally pulling his head and preparing to exchange a few words with a few people. When he heard the news of his ex-girlfriend’s death, he froze at the scene and stammered:
"Yingying...Yingying is dead? How...possible? How did she...die? Where is she?"
As soon as the words came out, Chen Shu stared at his ex-boyfriend's expression. According to his many years of experience in handling cases, the change in his expression in the past few seconds did not seem to be fake.
After all, I am a college student and I cannot hide my thoughts.
He probably didn't know that Yingying was dead, but he was a suspect after all... Chen Shu shook his head: "Fat man, take him to Yingying's place. Chen Chuan, let's continue going up."
The elevator door closed again and the elevator began to rise slowly.
All kinds of chaotic thoughts and speculations flashed through his mind. Chen Shu combined the clues he got and considered the case step by step.
They had been chatting happily in the booth earlier, and Yingying didn't look like she was going to commit suicide at all. And after the other person left from behind, she asked her classmate Chen Rou to come over to get her hat and sunglasses, which confirmed that she was not suicidal.
Possible suicide.
If it was an accident, then the ex-boyfriend who just came down from the roof is the most suspect. Not to mention that he came down from the roof at this time just after Yingying fell. But from his previous words asking where Yingying was and his words at that time
Judging from her demeanor, she probably didn't meet Yingying on the roof.
Chen Shu glanced at the surveillance monitor on the ceiling of the elevator: "Chen Chuan, call Zhu Chaoran and ask him to go to the building property to check the surveillance and see who has come up in the elevator with Yingying during this time."
Taking advantage of Zhu Chaoran's absence, Chen Chuan asked: "Chen Shu, should we check the body first to determine whether Yingying was dead or alive before she fell?"
"We couldn't check this thing on site, so we had to do a forensic blood test. But when we went out, we only heard the sound of the body falling to the ground, but not Yingying's call. So I felt that Yingying was probably dead before she fell.
"
Chen Shu raised his head and looked at the flashing electronic digital display above the door, and expressed his inner judgment.
Chen Chuan suddenly realized: "I see, that's why you agreed to Fatty's investigation, because this is a real murder scene."
"Not entirely, the main jurisdiction is not on our side. If this kind of case happens, we will be in big trouble if problems arise later."
"Oh, how many years have we been in a relationship? Don't think I don't know, you just can't stand it."
"Well, as you said later, at least we have drank together and can be considered friends."
As soon as Chen Shu finished speaking, the elevator door slowly opened, and the two of them stepped out of the elevator and saw the stairwell opposite.
Before entering the stairwell, Chen Shu took out the disposable gloves and plastics Zhu Chaoran bought at the convenience store and gave a portion to Chen Chuan.
The two put on gloves and goggles and entered the stairwell, followed it up one level, opened the heavy fire door and entered the top floor of the six-story commercial building.
The first thing he saw was the elevator power room of the building. The room was dark. When Chen Shu opened the door, he found that it was also locked.
He took out his cell phone and dialed Yingying's cell phone number sent by Zhu Chaoran.
"Chen Chuan, let's look for it together. I think Yingying's cell phone is probably on the roof. By the way, put the searchlight at a higher place and turn it on."
Chen Shu took out the flashlight Zhu Chaoran bought, opened it with a click, and went straight to the parapet facing the roadside, and began to search carefully.
Chen Chuan looked around and found a high point. He climbed up quickly and turned on the high-power outdoor searchlight.
With a "swish" sound, the entire top floor immediately lit up.
