Beauty Roundup: Scientific Exorcism

Chapter 42 An Annoying Situation

"Ronald, who do you think is the murderer here?"

Adolf, with gray temples, was staring at the surveillance screen, thinking about who the murderer was all the time in his mind. In the end, according to his normal deduction, most of his eyes stopped on the black Ralph and Max in civilian clothes.

Only the external physiques shown by these two people can realize the prerequisite for this murder: lift an old woman abruptly, and directly hang it on the prepared rope forcibly...

However, looking at the old woman who had been hanging in the air without any movement, Adolf was still puzzled.

He didn't understand, and couldn't understand why the murderer was able to accomplish so many things in such a small space in the elevator...

Ronald was also staring at the monitor screen, reasoning in his mind, but like Adolf, he really couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know. Actually, what I'm thinking is why did the murderer kill this old woman?" Ronald showed a puzzled expression.

"And this murderous rope, how did the murderer arrange it silently? It was even tied to the vent. You must know that we didn't see anything in front of us..."

Originally, they wanted to deduce who the murderer was, but there were more and more questions, and Adolf spread his hands helplessly.

"I don't know, I'd better leave these questions to the police officer."

Ronald didn't answer, just continued to stare at the monitor screen.

At this moment, there was movement in the elevator, and the lights suddenly flickered continuously, flickering from black to bright.

"Please! Please! Don't put it out!" Vic, who was the most collapsed in the elevator and looked like a dog in a gray suit, yelled immediately.

Compared to him, the rest of the people, such as the black Ralph, in casual clothes, Max just looked up at the flickering lights with a look of alertness on his face. Both of them were in a state of extreme alertness and nervousness, and would run away if there was any movement.

"FK!!! Damn it! What's wrong!"

Abigail, who was tightly huddled in the corner, was holding a handbag in front of her, looking at the flickering lights, her face had already collapsed a little. Abigail was very afraid that the murderer's next target would be her, because she was the weakest.

The instant atmosphere in the elevator does not need to be there, it can be felt with the naked eye.

Although there was still no sound, Adolf and Ronald, who had been observing in the monitoring room, could put themselves in their shoes and feel how nervous and scared these people were.

Ronald frowned, looked at the flickering monitoring screen, picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the PTT button.

"Hey! Gene..."

At this moment.

Dark basement.

Gene, the maintenance worker, was walking on the iron frame with a flashlight in the direction of the elevator. When he heard the prompt tone of the walkie-talkie, he picked it up.

"Hey?"

Hearing the answer, Ronald looked at the monitoring screen and felt the atmosphere in the elevator getting more and more tense.

"Jin, there seems to be a short circuit in the elevator and the light keeps flashing. Did you cut it off?"

Gene looked at the road, and felt even more strange when he heard this. Obviously, in the previous inspection, the line was in normal operation.

"No, I'm heading in the direction of the elevator shaft, there's no way to cut it off."

Hearing this, Ronald looked at Adolf, and a strange feeling emerged in their hearts, as if everything was normal, but something happened.

"The lights have been flashing, and the passengers are a little scared, Gene, can you speed up a little more?"

"Okay! I'll speed up!" Hearing the words from the intercom, Gene, the maintenance worker, looked at the dim path ahead, put away the intercom, and began to speed up his pace.

Ka Ka Ka! ! !
As the footsteps quickened, only the sound of Gene's footsteps stepping on the iron frame was heard in the dead basement. If it wasn't someone he was already familiar with, there would probably be a layer of goosebumps here.

Gene has long been used to it, and it didn't take long for him to come to the passageway belonging to the No. [-] elevator, which is the elevator that failed, commonly known as the entrance of the elevator shaft.

He shone a flashlight into the empty shaft inside, took a look and found nothing, then continued walking until a small electric box appeared beside him, opened the door of the box, took out the walkie-talkie and pressed the PTT button.

"Hey."

The sound was transmitted through a certain channel and rang in the monitoring room.

Adolf was talking to the elevator inside with a walkie-talkie, indicating that the line would be restored as soon as possible to calm everyone's emotions.

Ronald heard the beep and picked up the walkie-talkie while staring at the monitoring screen.

"Hello, Gene?"

"Ronald, is it still flashing?"

Gene opened the door, held the walkie-talkie in one hand, and shone a flashlight into the electric box in the other. With his rich experience and solid technology, he could tell at a glance that the lines of the elevator control box were in normal operation.

Hearing this, Ronald glanced at the monitoring screen that was still flickering, and continued to press the PTT button.

"Correct!"

Gene, the maintenance worker, frowned suddenly. Looking at the normal wiring, he couldn't help murmuring.

"It's really fk strange, where is the problem?"

It's strange, as a maintenance worker always has to solve the fault, Gene presses the PTT button.

"I want to restart the control system, take a look..."

Ronald looked at Adolf.

Adolf nodded, indicating that he had heard, he held the walkie-talkie and pressed the button, soothing.

"Due to maintenance, the light may be temporarily turned off, but it will be restored soon. During this period, the murderer can't do anything. We will keep an eye on it, unless the murderer wants to expose..."

These words sounded in the elevator, and the faces of the remaining four people were a little irritable.

"NO!!!" Sitting in the corner, Vic in the gray suit shook his head with a nervous expression.

"FK!!" The woman, Abigail, kept up her diatribe, pressing her handbag to her swollen chest.

For the other two, the black Ralph subconsciously looked at Max in casual clothes.

But Max was already staring at him.

The two looked at each other, guarding each other.

After watching Adolf announce to enter the elevator, Ronald pressed the button and spoke into the intercom.

"Ok!"

Hearing the response, Gene in the elevator shaft directly turned the switch next to it, and then immediately reset it again.

When this operation was fed back to the elevator, the lights went out instantly, and at the same time, the monitoring screen also instantly turned black.

Adolf and Ronald stared at each other.

"NO!!!"

"God please"

"..."

There was screaming in the elevator.

The next second, the lights came back on, still flickering, and nothing happened in the elevator as before, only Abigail was screaming, and Vic, in a gray suit, was dancing wildly in the air.

"Damn it! It still hasn't returned to normal!"

Adolf cursed secretly, if this matter was not handled well, he might not be able to make it to the day of retirement.

Ronald also felt helpless, picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the button.

"Jean, nothing has changed."
