The day of the wedding is not an ordinary day, but an important gathering of the Kofu family. The gathering place is Xiaoan Building. The first to tenth floors of Xiaoan Building are hotels, which only provide services to members or members’ friends. The eleventh to fifteenth floors

This is the office area of ​​Xiaoan Company.

Like reading a book, Liang Xi learned about the operating system of the Kofu family through the information system. The Kofu family has a giant family system, and these people are spread all over the world. They are not necessarily running the Kofu family's business, or even

I have many contacts with the Kofu family. Being a member of the main kinship system of the Kofu family has the advantage that when you need help, you can contact the family and the family will provide help as much as possible.

From childhood, he had no money for medical treatment and needed a job, to fighting political opponents, and even becoming the head of a country. For example, as everyone knows, the reason why Macron was elected as the president of France is said to be the great help of the Tchaikovsky family.

The most important member of the Kofu family is the Ninth Elder. The Ninth Elder belongs to the hereditary system. Their descendants are all direct members of the family. For example, if the father is one of the elders, the eldest son will inherit the eldership after his death. The eldest son's three generations, brothers and grandchildren will belong to the family.

The direct ninth elders sound powerful, but in fact they are just the voters of the Kofu family. They are responsible for selecting the real heir of the family. If the heir does a bad job, they can also revoke the heir's qualifications at the annual meeting.

The current patriarch of the Kofu family is called Lao Hu. He is 82 years old and is a private enterprise owner with a little reputation in the sugar industry. The sugar factory is not critical, his daily work is family work. Lao Hu is not easy either.

To become the heir, he knew that he had three competing partners since he was twelve years old. The youngest of the three partners was only seven years old, and the oldest was twenty years old. The inheritance time is calculated based on the death of the current heir. The Ninth Elder drafted four successors

, they began to perform the work of elders and began to fully track the status of the four prospective candidates. Finally, after the death of the current patriarch, the best heir, the second best heir, the second heir, and the last heir were selected. The best heir became the chief of the clan after ten years.

If he dies before 20 years, the next best heir will replace him and become the leader of the clan.

Eighty-two-year-old Hu suffers from a serious disease, and doctors predict that he still has one to two years to live. Xiao An and the other three are quasi-patriarchs. The meeting held that day at Xiao An's company building was the annual intra-family meeting.

Assessment and review. A total of twenty-seven people attended the meeting. The nine elders had to rate the four prospective candidates, explain the reasons and opinions of the scores, and accept everyone's supervision.

The next day was Lao Hu's birthday, and nearly a hundred guests stayed at the hotel in Xiaoan Building.

According to the data, according to the ratings of the Ninth Elder, Xiao An is far ahead. First of all, Xiao An has a very good image, is keen on charity, and has no scandals. In the eyes of the outside world, Xiao An is more of a social activist than a businessman.

.Compared with doing business, Xiao An prefers to make friends. He is well-rounded, serious in work, and well-spoken. He basically interprets the definition of a perfect man.

The Ninth Elder did not know about Xiao An's scandal. Xiao An's scandal only fermented among a certain group of people in the family. This group of people was the big family represented by Hannah.

The goal of the family is to cultivate family members as much as possible so that everyone in the family has a certain degree of influence. For example, if the family helps an ordinary member become the chief of the police station, it will not necessarily make any demands on the chief, but will encourage the chief to keep clean and develop his own career.

In a few years, he may become the director of the department, or even a minister. This person has his own cronies, his own network of contacts, and his own class. He can help the family when necessary, embellish the family when necessary, and maintain the title of the best family in the world.

Since Xiao'an's score is much higher than that of other quasi-patriarchs, Lao Hu's time is short, so the family core meeting was held in Xiao'an Building. A French security company affiliated to the family is responsible for the security of the building. Non-important employees and outsiders are basically

It is not possible to enter the building during the meeting.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao An's death did not have much impact on the Kofu family. In fact, the ninth elders had already quarreled. Some people thought that the prospective heir killed Xiao An. Some people thought that it was nonsense and just a revenge. In order to temporarily calm the situation.

, the Ninth Elder decided to give Hannah full authority to investigate the matter.

The information Hannah investigated was basically the same as what Liang Xi knew. The only thing unclear now is the key to Xiao An's murder and the core concern of the Kofu family: who or what force made Xiao An appear in those ten minutes.

On the rooftop of the sixteenth floor. Without investigating this clearly, the Ninth Elder could not select a new clan leader from the three prospective heirs, because they may all be the culprits behind Xiao An's murder.

Hannah did a lot of research and got a lot of information, including the transcripts of all the guests that day, the building's surveillance videos, etc. The investigation team she hired had been sorting out the massive information for several weeks, but they still couldn't find out why Xiao An went to the rooftop.

the truth.

Liang Xi did not read the small part of the information that Hannah gave him at that time, but Lant was not interested in investigating such a wide-ranging case. Modo was sick and in poor health. Hannah could not trust Kensi. Many European detectives may have been unable to do so because of their incompetence.

Either because of lack of time or for other reasons, they did not participate in Xiao An's investigation.

Hannah had no choice but to contact Blood Moon, who agreed to arrange a small arrangement in Blood Moon's invitation.

This information includes the identity of the elders, what they described, etc. If this information were spread, the Kofu family would be like experiencing a major earthquake.

Is this the reason why this blood moon invitation is kept secret? No, definitely not, because Hu still has a year and a half to live, and it has nothing to do with the ten-day period. Maybe the Koff family is not telling the truth...probably not,

It's all up to this point. If Xueyue and the others can't solve the mystery of why Xiao An appeared on the rooftop of the sixteenth floor, this mystery will probably become an impossible one to solve.

…

The information has been comprehensively sorted, and the approximate location of the people in the building at the time of the incident has been listed as much as possible. Because no one knows the exact time when Xiao An fell, no one saw Xiao An going to the rooftop, and no one heard the gunshot. 3:35

When the security manager passed by on the 15th floor, he heard a faint phone ringing outside the rooftop. He stopped and waited for a while, and the ringing continued for a while. The manager knew that the rooftop was a place where company executives smoked.

The security manager waited for a while and then walked up the steps. The rooftop door was composed of two doors. One door was fixed and could not be pushed, and the other door was left open. The security manager stepped over the door and walked to the rooftop to see Xiao An lying in a pool of blood.

The medical examiner confirmed that Xiao An's time of death was between 3:10 and 3:15.

Liang Xi took the internal phone and dialed 000, and the other party responded: "Hello, do you need any help?"

Liang Xidao: "I want to contact..."

A voice came immediately: "Sorry, this is the service phone number. If it has anything to do with the case, please use the conference room phone."

Liang Xi asked: "Hannah." He heard it right.

Hannah: "Thank you for your hard work."

Liang Xi hung up the phone without saying anything, took a pen and notes and walked to the conference room. There was an ancient wired telephone in the conference room, and a camera facing the phone. Liang Xi picked up the phone and didn't know how to operate it. The operator

A voice came: "Hello, Mr. Liang, do you need any information or help?"

Liang Xidao: "I need to speak to the security manager."

"Hold on."

After waiting for a while, Liang Xi heard a man's voice: "Hello."

Liang Xidao: "Is it the body of Xiao An that you found?"

Man: "Yes."

Liang Xi asked: "Did you stand in front of the rooftop door and see the corpse, or did you take one or a few steps and see the corpse, or did you walk to the rooftop and look around and see the corpse?"

The man was startled: "Let me think about it."

Liang Xi explained: "I don't know the structure of the rooftop. Can you see the location of Xiao An's body from inside the door, or can you see it only after stepping out of the door, or can you see it only after searching for it?"

The man explained that the rooftop is a concave structure, and the concave position is the door. Xiao An’s body is in the upper left corner of the concave shape, close to the guardrail at right angles, and about one meter away from the guardrail. The security manager walked to the rooftop and looked around.

Looking back, I saw Xiao An lying on the ground in the upper left corner.

"Second question, is the rooftop door closed?"

The security manager replied: "Not necessarily. The security department has a rule. After the shift is handed over at 11 o'clock, you must check whether the rooftop door is closed. There are requirements to keep it closed, but not locked. The rooftop is not only a place for smoking, but also a place to release stress.

A place is a place where management can temporarily escape from stress when they encounter setbacks or similar things and lose control of their emotions. That’s probably what it means. There are inspection regulations for the security department, but there are no regulations for people who use the rooftop.”

"okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

"goodbye."

"goodbye."

Liang Xi hung up the phone, which shows that Xiao An is in a position where he doesn't want to be discovered, or that he prefers to discover others first, rather than others discovering him first. Did Xiao An take the initiative to walk to the upper left corner, or was he passive? The so-called passive refers to

He was invited by someone. When he went to the rooftop, he found that the person who asked him was in the upper left corner, so Xiao An walked to the upper left corner to meet him.

Thinking of this, Liang Xi hung up the phone and quickly returned to his room, and went straight to the computer to inquire about a piece of information. There was a recording on the USB flash drive, which was a conversation between someone and the husband of a female reporter.

Husband: "I kept talking to the other party. According to the other party's request, I arrived at the door of the power distribution room on the 27th floor of Wufan Hotel before 3:10. I waited at the door of the power distribution room for about a minute, and the other party asked me to push the door in and close it.

When I came to the door, it showed that there was a long box on the bottom floor of the item shelf on the left. Inside was a sniper rifle. It had been debugged and could be fired directly after installation. It took me dozens of seconds to assemble the sniper rifle. The other party told me that the target was in the direction of 10:30.

I saw Xiao An in the sniper scope."

"Alone?" a processed voice.

Husband: "A man. He had one hand on his hip and his back was facing me. Then I pulled the trigger and hit him. As requested by the phone, I dismantled the gun and put it back into the box and left."

Liang Xi paused, reached for the writing board next to him, and scribbled and calculated on it. He could determine the position where the female reporter's husband fired, and Xiao An's position in the upper left corner of the concave shape. From this, we can draw a conclusion: Xiao An was facing

He looked in the direction of the rooftop door. Guessing that someone had left first, Xiao An watched him leave.

Speculation: Someone asked Xiao An to meet, and this person was waiting for Xiao An in the upper left corner. At this time, the female reporter's husband was waiting at the door of the power distribution room on the 27th floor of the hotel in the distance. Obviously the person behind the scenes controlled the time. The control of time requires a lot of details, such as the power distribution room

Will staff suddenly appear nearby? For example, how long will it take for the husband to assemble the gun? You must also monitor Xiao An's location, wait for the mysterious person who met Xiao An to leave, and coordinate the husband's time to assemble the gun, so as to ensure that the female reporter's husband cannot see the person meeting Xiao An.

Mystery man.

But an overly detailed plan can easily go awry. Maybe the husband was in good condition today and spent very little time assembling the gun? Or the husband used a sniper scope to observe first instead of assembling the gun? Or maybe Xiao An dragged the mysterious man into talking for a little longer.

Will it?

There is more than one answer, and one of them is: there are not only sniper rifles but also bombs in the power distribution room. If the husband of the female reporter sees the mysterious man, the bomb will be activated after the husband of the female reporter kills someone.

A further question is, why use a female reporter’s husband? From the perspective of the energy of the people behind the scenes, hiring a sniper is not too simple, why is it so troublesome? Is it too cumbersome to create alibi for the female reporter’s husband?

Liang Xi took a note on the table and wrote question one: The reason why the female reporter's husband was asked to take action was doubtful, and he suspected there was a deeper conspiracy.

After finishing writing, Liang Xi turned around and put the note on the writing board. When he turned around, he suddenly found a person sitting on the chair next to his bed. Liang Xi was so frightened that he let out a scream.

This person was Bobby. He went to Liang Xi's room when Liang Xi went to make a phone call. When he saw Liang Xi come back, he planned to say hello in a pretense manner and had already thought of his lines. However, Liang Xi concentrated on his work as soon as he came back.

Poppy waited in a mischievous mood with a smile. Finally, Liang Xi turned around.

"Ha ha."

Amid Bobby's wanton laughter, the two began to fight. However, the environment was not good, so he grabbed Liang Xi's hair, and Bobby's elbow hit the wall hard. The painful Bobby shouted: "Stop."

, I give up. Oh my god."

"Son, be good." Liang Xi let go of Bobby's collar.

Bobby took a big breath, didn't dare to move his left hand, and took off his clothes with his right hand. Liang Xi saw that something was really going on, and reached out to help take off his clothes. Theoretical knowledge diagnosed: "There are no painful nerves in the knees and elbows." The impact would not be so big.

feeling of pain.

Poppy pulled up his sleeves and could see a bruise with the naked eye, located on the left side of his left elbow. Liang Xi stretched out his hand and pinched it with concern: "Are the bones broken?"

"Help, oops." Bobby shouted immediately.

A scream and a call attracted many people. Anthony, who was the first to arrive at Liang Xi's room, took a look at the injured area, supported Bobby's arm and moved it up and down: "Visually there is no bruised cartilage, the pain is temporary."

Liang Xi was curious and stretched out his hand to squeeze again: "Is it so painful temporarily?"

"Fuck you." Poppy bit into it but didn't bite. It was obvious that Liang Xi did it on purpose and had made a mental plan to avoid it.

Anthony nodded: "As long as you don't pinch the injured area too often, it will be fine soon."

Bobby looked at Fanny at the door: "My hand is injured."

Fanny replied leisurely: "You have to work even if you die." She and Bobby were responsible for the laundry work together. When the bodyguards couldn't come in, she could beat up four people like Bobby. Bobby wanted to be lazy.

impossible.
