When Luo Ziyan returned to the room, several other people immediately surrounded him, "Have the police and Detective He found anything? Have you confirmed who the prisoner is?" Zhou Xin asked, looking at Luo Ziyan.
Luo Ziyan took a deep look at his weekly salary, shook his head and said, "I don't know. They just asked me some questions, which should be similar to those of you."
"Then what do you want to do when you come to our office?" Hou Manrong asked, squeezing aside his weekly salary.
"They asked me to wait for a while, and they should notify us soon." Luo Ziyan replied.
"Hmph! Zhou Xin, you should hurry up and turn yourself in. I think it was you who killed Tan Kai!" Seeing that the matter was not resolved, Hou Manrong kicked Zhou Xin hard.
This made Zhou Xin angry: "What do you mean! Why do I kill people? I haven't provoked you in normal times, right? You are targeting me. I think you are the murderer, you are here all day and night."
If you ask someone to borrow money, you don’t know if you are doing something shameful!”
"You don't need to talk about whether I can see someone! A gloomy person like you is prone to perverted killers. What's wrong with you? We are all suspicious, and I thought it was you!" Hou Manrong didn't understand at all.
Don’t give me your weekly salary and continue talking.
Zhou Xin was very unhappy and asked: "Why are you like this?"
"What? You are the biggest suspect. I didn't say anything nonsense!" Hou Manrong was unreasonable and became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
Zhou Xin finally couldn't hold it back and rushed forward, grabbed Hou Manrong's hair and slapped him down.
"Crack!"
When she was hit, Manrong was caught off guard and fell down in the direction Zhou Xin was pulling her. However, she reacted quickly. She immediately turned over and put her foot on Zhou Xin's calf. The pain made Zhou Xin squat down.
Hou Manrong took the opportunity to stand up and kicked Zhou Xin directly in the head again.
Also, Luo Ziyan reacted quickly and ran sideways to Zhou Xin to help her. He immediately got up and pushed Hou Manrong aside. Then he turned to Zhou Xin and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Luo Ziyan! Are you sick? She was the closest to the toilet at that time, and she also had the most time to kill Tan Kai. Are you still protecting this murderer?" Hou Manrong was very unhappy after being pushed away.
asked Luo Ziyan.
"That's enough! Have you had enough trouble?" Geng Zhaoyang, who had been standing aside, suddenly shouted, scaring the three of them to stop their movements.
"After this matter is over, you all should stop coming to the company and go directly to the human resources department to prepare for the handover! I don't want to know your personal affairs, but as colleagues and work partners in the company, you are now shirking each other's responsibilities.
, are suspicious of each other! This kind of behavior is not what my company wants! Now just sit down and wait for the police’s results! Those who don’t understand or don’t want to hear, believe it or not, I can let them go in less than a second.
Are you lying on the ground?" Geng Zhaoyang originally just wanted to happily support Liu Donglin today, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen to the employee he hired. Losing face is a small thing, but a life is big. Now he has no mood at all.
, several people were still arguing in front of him, making him even more angry.
"Mr. Geng, there's no need to fire us..." Hou Manrong couldn't just lose this job with a good salary, so he gave in immediately.
Zhou Xin started crying because of the pain. Luo Ziyan squatted down beside Zhou Xin gently, patted Zhou Xin's back without saying a word.
"What are you doing?" Liu Donglin opened the door and came in. He happened to see this scene and asked.
"Nothing, is there any result?" Geng Zhaoyang asked.
Liu Donglin nodded: "Come out with me first. You guys will wait a moment." As he said that, he walked in and pulled Geng Zhaoyang out of the room.
After Geng Zhaoyang left, the atmosphere in the room became even more awkward. Hou Manrong didn't know what to say, so he could only retreat to the sofa and sit down, lowering his head not knowing what he was thinking.
"Don't cry, it's okay." Luo Ziyan comforted Zhou Xin softly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine..."
At this moment, Liu Donglin walked in again: "Let's go, change rooms. I have something to tell you."
The three of them, together with Geng Zhaoyang outside the door, followed Liu Donglin to the private room opposite the private room where Tan Kai was killed. "Where is Officer Tong?" Geng Zhaoyang asked.
"Eh? Why was he here just now? Maybe he went out. I'll give him a call and ask him to come over." Liu Donglin said as he took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number.
But the ringing tone of the phone came from the closed toilet next to several people...
Liu Donglin knocked on the door calmly: "Officer Tong, everyone is here. Come out quickly."
But there was no response from anyone in the room. Liu Donglin reached out and twisted the toilet door again: "Lock it, Officer Tong? Officer Tong?"
"Officer Tong won't..." Hou Manrong was so frightened that he took two steps back.
"Impossible..." Zhou Xin next to her muttered, staring at the scene in front of her as if he had seen something extremely scary.
Luo Ziyan quickly raised his weekly salary, walked to the door and shouted with Liu Donglin: "Officer Tong? Are you in there? Officer Tong?"
The phone was still ringing in the toilet, "We can only knock it open! Luo Ziyan, come with me!" Liu Donglin immediately asked Luo Ziyan to knock on the door with him. After two or three times, the toilet door was hit.
open.
There was no one in the bathroom, there was only a mobile phone on the sink, and Tong Shu walked in from the door, looking at everyone with a smile...
"What's going on?" Luo Ziyan blurted out and asked.
"Of course I'm going to show you how the secret room is made." Liu Donglin also walked to the door with a smile and stood with Tong Shu.
Tong Shu rolled his eyes at Liu Donglin: "I really don't understand why you did this? Can't you just tell them no?"
"I didn't tell you, I wanted to see their reaction." Liu Donglin explained.
"Detective He, do you mean you have unlocked the secret room? In other words, you know who the murderer is?" Hou Manrong also reacted and asked excitedly.
Liu Donglin nodded: "Actually, this is a simple mechanical secret room. I couldn't solve it at first because the key evidence was not in the toilet at all. I didn't know what was going on until I was discovered by other police officers outside the toilet door.
."
"Then you said you found the key evidence? Since the key evidence has been found a long time ago, why are you calling us one by one?" Geng Zhaoyang asked. Of course, Liu Donglin had already called him out before.
The general situation was told to him.
"That's because although I have unlocked the secret room, I still can't confirm who is the real murderer of the case, so I need to ask you for questions." Liu Donglin explained.
"Then how was this secret room created? And what is the key evidence you mentioned?" Geng Zhaoyang then asked.
"The props needed to build such a secret room are those most commonly used in making mechanical secret rooms in novels - fishing line." Liu Donglin walked to the door of the toilet again, bent down and picked up a special piece of wire from the carpet on the ground.
There is an unobvious fishing line, and a transparent blade is tied to the other end of the fishing line. "Just tie the fishing line to the handle on the inside of the toilet door, and then wrap it around the rotating lock twice. Then use this blade to
After killing the deceased, tie it to the fishing line, and plug the other end of the fishing line through the crack of the toilet door. Just retract the fishing line bit by bit from the outside, and use a blade to tie the rotary lock, and you can pull the fishing line from the outside.
Close the door to the room. Just put away or throw away the fishing line and blade."
"That's it?" Hou Manrong asked, "So the key evidence is the fishing line and the blade?"
"Yes, this is the evidence. Of course, the fishing line we found is only a small piece. This was obtained temporarily by other police officers. As for the original fishing line, it is now on the body of one of you. I said
You're right, Luo Ziyan." Liu Donglin looked at Luo Ziyan and said.
Luo Ziyan took a long breath and took out a handful of crumpled fishing line from his trouser bag: "I admit that I killed the person. I am the murderer..."
