Yucheng is a city with beautiful scenery. Beautifully colored flowers can be seen everywhere, and the air also has the right humidity. Xu Guang’s perfume company is located in the center of Yucheng. There is a lot of traffic here. It is Yucheng.
The center of the economy.
There are also several high-rise buildings dedicated to living in the city center. The apartment Xu Guang bought is one of these buildings, and not far from the apartment are buildings with reflections in the sun.
Xu Guang's company is located on several floors of the white office building. He also has several greenhouses for cultivating flowers on the outskirts of Yucheng.
But these are not important now. Jian Yao glanced at the direction of the office building and then looked away. She found the apartment Xu Guang bought according to the number on the door card.
The apartment he bought was not a one-floor apartment, but a small apartment like an ordinary elevator room. It seemed that he really just wanted to rest here occasionally and didn't want to spend more money on such a place.
The elevator soon reached the floor where the apartment was located. Only the footsteps of the three of them could be heard in the silent corridor. I don't know if it was because the sound insulation was good or because no one was living here anymore.
The apartment Xu Guang bought is at the end of the corridor, and the elevator is in the middle of the corridor, so they need to cross half of the corridor before they can reach the door of the apartment.
The bright headlights shine on the smooth ceramic floor, and the lights here will never go out whether it is day or night.
The apartments here all use access cards to open the door. The property management company has prepared two access cards for each owner, so Yan Rui also has an access card that can open the door here.
According to common sense, Yan Rui is highly suspicious, but according to what she said, she slept at home that night and slept until the next day. There was no sign of her leaving home or appearing near the community on the surveillance camera.
.
Jian Yao and the others quickly reached the end of the corridor. The black-brown door was equipped with a silver door handle and a card reader. They swiped the access card directly onto the card reader and opened the door smoothly.
It seems that this apartment was not forced open from the outside, otherwise the current door handles and card readers would not be so sensitive.
The apartment was dark, with heavy curtains blocking the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and there was no smell of blood in the air. If they hadn't known in advance that someone had died here, they might have just thought that no one had lived here for a while.
An ordinary residence.
After Jian Yao pressed the power switch at the door, light instantly filled the entire living room. The decoration style and furniture here were very casual. It seemed that Xu Guang really regarded this place as a temporary place to stay.
There is no garbage in the living room, because Yan Rui will bring the second access card to clean here when she is free.
According to her, why should she let others do something she can do? She has been poor all these years, and she was really reluctant to spend money to hire a nanny to clean the house.
On the day Xu Guang's body was discovered, his secretary was the first to discover it, because he found that the CEO, who always went to work on time, was late without notifying him, which made him feel strange.
The secretary knew that the president slept in an apartment near the company last night, but he did not have an access card in his hand, so he could only knock on the door and call, but after half an hour, Xu Guang did not respond.
This obviously made the secretary feel that something was wrong. He quickly contacted the property management and Yan Rui, but it was the property management who sent someone to open the door to the apartment first.
Then the secretary and the people sent by the property management became the first group of people to discover the crime scene, and the second group of people who rushed to the crime scene were the investigators responsible for various cases in the city.
After the investigators surrounded the apartment, Yan Rui arrived. Because it was the rush hour for work and the traffic on the road was jammed, it was reasonable for Yan Rui to rush here from the villa area in the suburbs now.
At this time, the body had been removed from the apartment, and the cordon and yellow lines were gone. Fortunately, she learned from Yan Rui early in the morning that Xu Guang's body was found in the master bedroom.
But now Jian Yao is not in a hurry to go to the bedroom to investigate. Instead, she stands in the living room and looks from the apartment door to the end of the living room.
"The shoes are wrong." Jian Yao's eyes stayed on the shoe cabinet at the door for a long time, and then she said this sentence.
Wu Jiu and Hong Yan also followed Jian Yao's words and looked at the shoe cabinet.
Hongyan only took one look at it and quickly understood the meaning of Jian Yao's words. A hint of understanding flashed in her dark gray eyes and she responded: "Indeed, slippers should not appear in the shoe cabinet, and...
There is also a pair of shoes missing, I guess those shoes should be a pair of leather shoes that Xu Guang often wears."
There are several pairs of shoes in the black doorless shoe cabinet, most of which are pitch black or dark brown leather shoes. They are arranged in an orderly manner in the second and third rows of the shelf, but only in the second row.
A pair of leather shoes is missing from the shelf.
On the shelf in the first row, there were two pairs of indoor slippers, one large and one small. Obviously, the large pair of slippers belonged to Xu Guang, and the small pair of slippers belonged to Yan Rui.
But the strange thing is that when a normal person returns to his or her residence, he would change his shoes into indoor slippers before going to the bedroom.
Maybe Xu Guang didn't change out of his leather shoes, but walked directly to the master bedroom to sleep in his leather shoes?
Apart from the assumption that Xu Guang is really tired, there are three possibilities.
The first possibility is that Xu Guang was attacked by an acquaintance or a murderer hiding in the apartment before he could change his shoes after entering the living room, and then dragged him to the bedroom.
But if the murderer had been captured by the cameras outside, the case would have been closed long ago, unless the murderer was something that investigators could not afford to offend.
The second possibility is that the murderer is actually Guigui. It’s not surprising that Guigui can do anything, right?
There is a third possibility...Xu Guang did not return to his apartment through the front door, which means that he most likely suddenly appeared in the bedroom here.
Jian Yao looked away from the shoe cabinet. In the living room, only the shoe cabinet had something obviously strange about it. Other than that, there was nothing special about it.
The door to the master bedroom was not closed, and a large stain of dried blood was immediately visible on the gray sheets.
Judging from the shape and color of the blood stains, the largest amount of bleeding should be in the abdomen.
Jian Yao thought that Xu Guang might have swallowed several silver needles alive. It was possible that the silver needles pierced his abdomen, and a large amount of blood gushes out from the punctured area. Other organs should also have been damaged by the silver needles.
Just how many silver needles are needed to achieve such an effect? Jian Yao felt a chill in her back just by imagining it.
