I received a courier without the name of the sender. When I opened it, there was only a key and a memory card inside.

I still don’t know what door this key opens. Doesn’t it have a memory card? I asked Ermiao to get a card reader and insert the memory card.

This card reader only has a USB port, and a mobile phone cannot be plugged in. Ermiao took out his laptop again.

The card reader is similar to a USB flash drive. After plugging it into the computer, I opened the folder in the memory card.

There is actually a long list of files inside, not videos, just audio files.

When I open a file, there is no image and only sound can be heard.

I guess this should be the sound recorded with a mobile phone or a voice recorder or something like that.

Judging from the time, they were probably all recorded in the recent period, and the files are also large and small, which seems to represent different recording durations.

I clicked on a file and just heard some noisy background sounds...

This shows that these recordings were probably secretly recorded and have not been edited or processed in any way.

Ermiao's canteen really couldn't sit still. I needed to listen to these recordings attentively, so I went back to the rental house and put on my headphones and listened carefully...

I sat at my computer desk, clicked on one of the files, and listened to it for more than half an hour. It seemed that noise accounted for 80% of it.

Occasionally, I can hear one or two sentences, but the content is inaudible intermittently, and some words even sound like they are in English...

I was a little impatient, so I checked other files. The shortest ones were forty or fifty minutes, and the long ones were even three or four hours. If I listened to all the recordings, it would take two or three days without sleep.

time.

The most terrible thing is that even though I can hear a lot of words in it, they don’t sound like Chinese, and I don’t know what they mean?

But I can't give up easily, after all, Edward took great pains to send this to me, and he also risked his life greatly.

Fortunately...

I learned editing from Ermiao. I opened an editing software and imported the audio into it first, so that I could see the waveform text of the file.

Where the waveforms are denser, it means that the voice is loudest and clearest at that time.

In order to go through all the recordings as quickly as possible, I looked at the waveform text and listened to the densest parts first...

Even if I have a specific focus, I listened to them all roughly, and it took me an entire afternoon to listen.

Hard work pays off!

Finally I found a recording that I can understand!!!

This recording was made just a few days ago, about three days before Mr. Sekiguchi’s body was found. I heard Mrs. Sato’s voice in the recording!

She seemed to be talking to someone, and that person was obviously not Edward, but another man's voice.

However, this man's voice didn't sound unfamiliar. After listening to it several times, I recognized it. That man was most likely the male fan, who was Edward's former assistant.

After Edward became insane, it seemed that Mrs. Sato was more interested in this person, and he somewhat took Edward's original position.

It's worth mentioning that I think this male fan is more ruthless and sophisticated than Edward, so much so that I still don't know his name.

Let’s talk about the content of the recording...

In fact, the recording only sounds like fragments of words. If you don’t understand everything, you may not understand it at all. Fortunately, I am a person who knows the inside story relatively well.

I guess the scene during the recording was like this...

Edward might have been watering the plants at that time, because I could hear the sound of water flowing. Edward didn't speak. He might have been wandering around Mrs. Sato and the male fan on purpose, just to record secretly.

The male fan's voice was first heard in the earphones. He said to Mrs. Sato: "I'm sorry, I missed the ball this time. I hit it a little harder..."

There was silence for a few seconds, followed by Mrs. Sato's voice: "If you die, just die. Deal with it cleanly and don't leave traces. It's been bad enough here recently. I don't want the police to come to my door again."

Already..."

The male fan immediately promised: "Don't worry, I will sink it to the bottom of the river and no one will find it..."

In the end, Mrs. Sato just said "Yeah"!

After saying this, I heard a burst of footsteps...

Maybe the male fan walked past Edward, and all the subsequent recordings turned into the monotonous sound of watering.

In other words, the useful parts of this audio file, which lasts for more than an hour, only take less than a minute when added together, which is just a few sentences.

Because I knew that Mr. Sekiguchi was dead, I could make so many associations after hearing the conversation between the two of them and complete the story.

If a completely ignorant person listened to it, he might not know what they were talking about?

If my guess is correct, the male fan should have wanted to put all the gatekeepers and translators into coma, and at least leave them alive. This is a much lighter nature than killing people and dumping their bodies.

However, the male fan made a mistake this time and killed Mr. Sekiguchi, so he wanted to sink his body to the bottom of the river.

He did indeed do this later. Perhaps the rope tying the body at the pass was not strong, or perhaps the weather was too hot and a large amount of gas appeared inside the body, causing the body to float from the bottom of the river. It was only discovered by the police two days later...

If the two people in the conversation in the recording are really Mrs. Sato and the male fan, can this audio file be used as evidence of the murder of Mr. Sekiguchi?

I think it is necessary to give these audio files to Luo Feng, and at least give him a copy.

Moreover, there are many audio files, and there are many languages ​​in them that I don’t understand at all. Maybe the police have a lot of talents and can decipher the words that I don’t understand, which will be more helpful in solving the case.

Thinking of this, I called Luo Feng and told him that I had just received a courier, which seemed to be from Edward. It was very important.

Luo Feng was busy and couldn't get away, so he asked me to transfer the files to his mobile phone.

There were quite a lot of files and they were relatively large. I was worried that Luo Feng’s mobile phone had insufficient memory, so I asked for Bai Xue’s email address, and I sent the files directly to Bai Xue.

Luo Feng told me that Bai Xue would ask the technical department to check it first and try to decipher the recording content as much as possible. In the end, he thanked me for the first time for providing clues to the police.

I said, this matter is not over yet, I still have a key in my hand?

"Key?!" Luo Feng immediately asked curiously, "What kind of door is the key to?"
