"Where are we going now?" Liang Xi was asked by Poppy as soon as he came out. This question is very philosophical, where do we come from? Where are we going? To put it simply, before Poppy saw ghosts, he just lived and drank, but now he can go

where?

Bobby was playing with the yo-yo he had just bought from a kid for a hundred pounds, looking extremely lonely and lonely. The happiness of rich people is unimaginable to poor people, but playing like this every day has no meaning at all.

Liang Xi thought that his detective agency should also open up its business. Recently, the Holy Banner has ceased operations, Wendy has not come to the door, and he doesn't have much money in his pocket. In addition, changing his residence and having meals and dates with Karin are all a huge expense.

Get some money to spend and take Poppy around London.

Liang Xi made a call: "Baker, do you have any unsolved cases in your criminal investigation department that I can enjoy?" Uncensored cases refer to difficult cases that no dedicated police detectives continue to investigate. For example, a theft case is listed as unsolved for one or ten years.

Years later, a murderer was arrested. During the interrogation, the murderer confessed that his accomplices had committed the theft in the past, and the unresolved case was solved. Or maybe he pressed his fingerprints when entering and exiting the customs, and there was a ding-dong sound, which matched the fingerprints of the unresolved case, and there was a new clue.

clues, we can continue to pursue them.

Baker replied: "Yes, there are a lot of them. We have bounties for unsolved cases and clues. Which one do you want?"

Liang Xidao: "The one with more money."

Bobby came over and said, "It doesn't matter if it's money or not, the main thing is that it's fun."

Liang Xi: “I won’t do it if I don’t have money.”

On the other end of the phone, Baker asked: "Are there any more interesting unsolved cases with a higher reward? You can also add a temporary reward."

After a while of chatting and joking, Baker said: "The apartment manager's suicide case was closed as a pending case five days ago. The police station raised the reward for clues from one thousand pounds to two thousand pounds 15 seconds ago."

Liang Xi didn't understand: "Suicide case, reward for clues?" Why?

Baker replied: "Yes, the administrator's twin daughters are beautiful."

"My special?" I didn't expect that my brain circuit would be cut off by Baker.

Baker said: "The administrator's daughter went to the office of the Assistant Superintendent of the Frontline Police Department many times, and the new Superintendent personally read the files and explained them to them. They remained polite and communicated with the new Superintendent, and finally the new Superintendent offered a reward of one thousand pounds.

Whoever can find evidence that the administrator did not commit suicide will receive a reward of one thousand pounds."

Liang Xi understood: "Writing a bad check. This case doesn't sound interesting."

Baker said: "Didn't I just mention that the administrator's twin daughters are beautiful?"

Liang Xi was startled: "I'm young now. Want a cup of coffee? I'll go find you."

Baker: "OK."

Liang Xi hung up the phone: "I have something to do. I will solve the case and you can pick up the girl."

Poppy: "I'm not that kind of person. I've sworn not to mess with non-professional women."

Liang Xi walked towards the car and said, "Unless you can't help it." Only if you believe you are there ghosts.

Poppy thought about it and felt that what Liang Xi said was wrong. If he couldn't help it, he could swear that his previous oath was invalid.

…

This apartment is 17 stories high, with four units, each with three households. The apartment belongs to the city hall and is an apartment provided by the city hall for low-income people. The administrator is hired by the city hall. There are 1.5 positions in the apartment building.

The administrator is a position. When the administrator is on vacation or not at work, the city hall will send someone to temporarily replace the employee.

Administrators have many responsibilities, but they are not miserable. If there is damage to the infrastructure, such as water and electricity problems, residents can contact the administrator, and the administrator will forward the information to the city hall, which will handle it. The administrator is similar to the housekeeper of an apartment building, the resident's

His qualifications are not verified by him, the tenant's rent is not his income, and the damage to the tenant's facilities is not his responsibility to repair.

The deceased administrator was forty-eight years old, a somewhat obese middle-aged aunt, and her workplace was on the first floor of the apartment. After entering the apartment access control, you can see the mailbox of each resident. To the right of the mailbox is a long counter with an electric bell on it.

.Press the bell, and the administrator who is resting in the room behind the counter will come out to receive the visitor. The administrator's room is not small, and it is fully equipped with household appliances. The daily administrator lives here. If the administrator is not there, you can contact the counter to place it.

's phone number.

At 11:30 on the day of the incident, a young couple on the 16th floor had a dispute and the woman wanted to commit suicide by jumping out of the window. The man used his mobile phone to contact the administrator for help. The administrator said that this kind of thing was not his responsibility and asked him if he needed to call the police.

The man believed that the main responsibility for the window being unable to open lay with the building. He insisted on having the window repaired as soon as possible to satisfy his girlfriend’s last wish.

The fact is that a woman quarreled with a man and pretended to seek death, and the man argued with the woman and made a phone call to make the woman angry.

At 11:45, a patrol car arrived and two police officers entered the apartment. A resident on the 15th floor called the police saying that someone had committed suicide on the 16th floor. The police rang the bell but there was no response. When he called the cell phone, the cell phone rang in the room and no one answered.

After the residents waiting for takeout in the lobby explained, the police decided to break the door and go in to check. Soon the police found the administrator in pajamas lying in the bathtub in the bathroom. His wrists were cut, and the whole bathtub was stained red with blood.

A utility knife was placed on the right hand side. The administrator was taken to the hospital and later died.

The police initially speculated that the administrator, who had trouble sleeping, was repeatedly woken up by phone calls and felt desperate about the job and committed suicide. This was just a speculation. After a comprehensive investigation, the police determined that the administrator committed suicide.

The first reason: The police found from the search records on the computer in the administrator's lounge and the administrator's mobile phone that some of the administrator's search information was related to death. For example, which way to die is the easiest and least painful. The administrator browsed two days ago

I read an article by a podcaster. The article recommended the method of suicide by cutting the pulse with warm water. The podcaster stated that he was against suicide. He simply analyzed various suicide methods. Even if the pulse cutting with warm water is used, suicide can be successful and the pain will be minimized.

, also requires certain skills and medication.

As a result, the police arrested the blogger who published the article on the grounds that the blogger encouraged others to commit suicide. This detail has nothing to do with this case and will be omitted.

The second reason: Confirm that the sharp weapon used by the administrator to cut the pulse is a utility knife, and there are only the administrator's fingerprints and blood stains on the knife.

The third reason: The administrator complained to the residents more than once that some residents kept calling her in the middle of the night for trivial matters, which annoyed her to the point of wanting to die.

The fourth reason: Between 11:28 and 11:45 when the police arrived, three people were waiting for takeout in the lobby. After questioning, it was learned that the administrator did not allow takeout people to enter the apartment, and residents could only enter the apartment at the door.

Waiting for the takeaway staff. The three people testified that they did not see anyone entering or leaving the administrator's room while they were waiting.

The reason for such a rule is that some residents reported that their mailboxes had been checked, and the administrator caught a delivery employee stealing the mailbox. The delivery employee claimed that he was curious to take a look while waiting for the elevator, but in the end there was no evidence to prove that the delivery employee

The mailbox theft was dismissed, but the matter was settled. However, there was an additional rule in the apartment. For the safety of residents, non-residents were not allowed to enter the apartment after eleven o'clock. You could only get the late night snacks you ordered by yourself at the door.

If you do not comply with the rules of the apartment building, the administrator will record and report it, and the residents may be disqualified from renting. The rent of this apartment building is very low, the environment is good, and the location is good, so no one wants to provoke the administrator.

Liang Xi asked: "Is this rule stipulated by the administrator?"

Baker replied: "The administrator proposed it in the resident group, and most residents agreed and supported it before implementation. There were also a few residents who had objections, but considering everyone's safety, they negotiated with the administrator to go downstairs to get takeout, and the administrator agreed.

."

Liang Xi asked: "Is there no surveillance in the hall?"

Baker said: "It broke. I reported it for repair a month ago. You know how efficient the city hall is. Only the elevators in the apartment building are monitored."

Liang Xi asked: "Do the three residents know each other?"

Baker replied: "After our investigation, we found no evidence that they knew each other. One is a new bank counter clerk who has been employed for less than three months, one is an 18th-line female supporting role, and the other is a restaurant waiter. They live in apartments respectively. Three different places in the building. In addition to them, there were two other residents who came home from get off work during this time, and they proved that there was no problem at that time."

Baker said: "Because of the death by suicide, the administrator's family cannot receive insurance benefits. According to our investigation, the administrator and her husband separated seven years ago. The administrator has no daily entertainment activities and spends most of his time in the apartment building. We visited

We visited 20 households, and they had no good or bad impression of the administrator, and some of them even didn’t say a few words to the administrator.”

Liang Xi asked: "What does the forensic doctor think?"

Baker said: "There was more than twice the normal amount of tranquillizers in the administrator's body. Because the body had received emergency treatment before death, the forensic doctor could not estimate the exact time when the administrator cut the pulse because the blood and blisters were soaked together, making it impossible to guess.

We speculated on two possibilities for the homicide. The first possibility: three people waiting for takeout conspired to kill the administrator to prove each other. The second possibility was that someone died before 11:28

Kill the administrator."

Liang Xidao: "But none of them are true?"

Baker said: "The first possibility is that we can't find evidence that the three of them knew each other, or even the timeline of their acquaintance. At the same time, we also have to consider that the call made by the couple on the 16th floor to the administrator at 11:30 was answered by the administrator. There is also the time for the police to arrive. There are also two residents who are returning home from get off work."

Baker means that if there is a conspiracy between three people, the risk is extremely high. They went to the lobby one after another around 28 minutes to wait for takeaways. It took a few minutes to arrange the suicide scene. During this period, they could not know whether any residents came in or out. Once a resident proved that they only saw two people at that time,

Either personally or without seeing anyone, they fell into trouble. The second was the call at 30 minutes. The guy on the 16th floor confirmed that it was the administrator who answered it, which meant that the administrator was still alive. At this time, all three people were in the lobby. Because of the trouble of the woman on the 16th floor,

The residents on the 15th floor called the police. Assuming the residents on the 15th floor called the police earlier or later, it would make no sense for the three murderers to stay in the hall.

Baker said: "The second person may have just said that the guy on the 16th floor is very sure that the administrator answered the phone. The other party's words were vague, but it must be the administrator's voice. Suppose someone killed the administrator before 28 minutes, 28 minutes

When the last three residents came down to wait for takeout, who answered the 30-minute call? Even if it was the murderer, how could the murderer leave the administrator's room without being witnessed by the three residents? When the police arrived, they searched the room and found no one else."

We also considered the possibility that the murderer had infiltrated the two people waiting for takeout, but the elevator monitoring system was not damaged and recorded the time when the three people left the elevator and entered the lobby. No matter how you analyze it, it is impossible to commit suicide, it can only be suicide.

Liang Xi asked: "Are there any non-suicide ideas? For example, if you win the lottery, you will go out with good friends tomorrow, etc."

Baker said: "The third day after the incident was the administrator's daughter's eighteenth birthday. Does this count as a reason?"

Poppy interjected: "Could he commit suicide because he couldn't afford a birthday gift?"

Liang Xingheng glanced: "The rich talk about the case, the poor don't talk. Only if you are so poor can you not afford a birthday gift."

Liang Xi looked at Baker and asked, "Aside from the twin beauties, what's so interesting about this case?"

Baker said: "Does it count if the lobby monitor is man-made damage? This monitor lasted only a few days. In the past year, the city hall has repaired and replaced the monitors three times. After each replacement or repair, the monitor was restored within a few days.

Damage. The administrator called to blame the administrator. After hanging up the phone, the administrator yelled at Sang and Huai during the rush hour. Her behavior was complained by residents, and she was given a written warning by the city hall."

Liang Xi's eyes lit up: "Is it true that no one likes the administrator?"

Baker nodded: "Yes, I visited more than 30 households, and no one showed any grief or sadness about the death of the administrator."

Liang Xi thought thoughtfully: "A middle-aged woman who devotes herself to apartment management has no husband, daughter is not around, no friends, and no entertainment activities. Who would hurt such a dedicated and good person? So it can only be

Suicide. But considering the twin beauties you mentioned, I think it can be temporarily ruled as homicide."

Baker was startled: "How to kill?"

Liang Xidao: "A woman took a large amount of sleeping pills and committed suicide by cutting her wrists with warm water. She actually answered the phone? Let's assume, where did she go when she answered the phone? Did she just swallow the sleeping pills? Or was she already awake?

After the medicine took effect, were she ready to go into the water? Or was it because of this phone call that she decided to commit suicide?"
