Beauty Roundup: Scientific Exorcism

Chapter 44 Mission (Two in One)

Dark basement.

On the edge of the well mouth.

Looking at the body that had been broken into two pieces, Baker held his mobile phone with a gloomy face.

He knew that if the hypothetical breakthrough point was broken, the investigation of the entire case would be stuck at the starting point again.

"Set up a barrier and seal off this area."

"..."

Baker directed the police officers next to him to seal off the area, protect the scene, and then returned, his face becoming serious.

He suddenly found that this murder case became more and more complicated and confusing.

at the same time.

Jeffrey, who received this message, also frowned, and looked at the security guards Adolf and Ronald beside him with suspicion.

"Can you tell me about the previous movements of your maintenance workers?"

"Okay, officer."

Adolf and Ronald looked at each other.

Although the two were a little confused, they still nodded obediently and told about the connection between them and the maintenance worker Gene, as well as the maintenance steps that the maintenance worker Gene said, and what they were going to do.

As Jeffrey listened, his face remained calm, and his heart sank.

From the mouths of these two security guards, the maintenance worker went down the whole process carefully, checking the maintenance steps step by step, until the basement, basically there was nothing suspicious.

Then, why did he die?
Jeffrey couldn't figure it out, and continued to look at the monitoring screen. The four surviving people in the elevator were still separated from each other, and each of them huddled in a corner to guard against each other.

He knew that in order to continue the investigation of this murder case, he could only rely on the background investigation that had not yet been sent from the bureau.

"Officer, what happened to Gene?"

As the captain of the security guard, Adolf has always known how to avoid disasters and avoid dangers. He is a veteran in the workplace. Only Ronald noticed what seemed to be happening to Gene, the maintenance worker. He looked at Jeffrey with a calm face and said seriously.

"Officer, please believe me, Jean is definitely not the murderer, he has been working hard all these years, and there are..."

When Ronald said this, he was interrupted by Adolf,
"Ronald, don't interfere with the police officer's investigation."

Jeffrey glanced at them from the corner of his eye, then continued to look at the monitoring screen and said calmly.

"Your guarantee cannot be used as a basis, but what I can tell you about this matter is that Gene, the maintenance worker, died in the well in the basement."

As soon as these words came out, Adolf and Ronald were stunned.

Ronald couldn't believe it, "What? Gene, how could Gene die? Just now he said he was going to check on the roof!"

Jeffrey's eyes were calm, "I know you don't want to believe it, but it's a pity that it's true."

As he spoke, Jeffrey looked at the last police officer on standby.

"Let the firemen come over."

"Yes."

The policeman left in a hurry, and then Baker hurried in, standing next to Jeffrey and said a little annoyed.

"Man, the thread is broken."

Jeffrey continued to stare at the monitor screen.

"Wait for the news from the bureau."

Baker glanced at the two security guards who were still in shock, as if they hadn't recovered from the death of the maintenance worker, and he couldn't help shrugging.

However, things are not static. Jeffrey suddenly found that the lights in the elevator flickered faster than before.

Because of this sudden change, everyone in the elevator looked up with uneasy expressions.

"What's the matter!" Vic, who was wearing a gray suit, said very uneasy.

"It won't be destroyed again."

Abigail cursed, "Shut up!"

The black Ralph looked at Max in casual clothes,

"I have a suggestion, how about you and I hold each other's hands?"

Max in casual clothes was a little puzzled.

The black Ralph continued, "At present, only the two of us are the most suspected. If one of us is the murderer, then the other person can stop his actions."

As he spoke, the black Ralph glanced at Abigail and Vic, and continued.

"If none of us are murderers, with our strength, we can also guard against sneak attacks in the dark, and this will also benefit the judgment of the police officers above. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Max thought about it in casual clothes. He is not the murderer, and this approach is also beneficial to himself. If the black Ralph is the murderer, this approach is better than knowing nothing in the dark and waiting to be attacked by the other party.

"can."

Hearing the response, the black Ralph stretched out his hands to signal.

"bring it on."

Max in plain clothes also understood. He walked over and clasped hands with the black Ralph, forming a state of mutual coercion.

The movement in the elevator was also seen by Jeffrey who had been watching. As an experienced police officer, he understood the meaning of the two people in seconds. If there was a murderer between the two and he didn't want to expose it, he would definitely not kill again.

If neither of the two most suspected murderers is the murderer, but if there are still people who die, then the remaining person is suspected of the murderer.

While Jeffrey was thinking about this, a police officer came to report.

"Officer Jeffrey, the fire department is here."

Jeffrey nodded, then looked at Baker.

"Or, you are responsible for this matter? Am I watching here?"

"Okay, anyway, the things I'm thinking about are not suitable for me, so you come on." Baker patted Jeffrey on the shoulder, followed the footsteps of the police officers and left the monitoring room.

After watching Jeffrey off, he continued to look at the monitoring screen. The lights became more flickering, and the darkness became longer and longer. In order to reassure himself, he picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the button.

"The fire brigade is here, you can go out after a while."

The voice rang in the elevator, and the four of them looked at each other with relief, especially Vic in the gray suit, whose face relaxed a lot. He was squatting in the corner, but now he slowly stood up.

"It's finally over, I hope this light won't go out."

Vic said, and then he heard a bang, and his vision was instantly darkened.

As if joking with Vic, the elevator lights suddenly went out.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"NO!!!"

"..."

Bing bang bang pong, there was a lot of movement in the elevator, but it was reported that the monitoring screen was dark, and then there was no sound. Jeffrey frowned and continued to press the intercom button.

"Everyone stay calm and stay where you are. If you are attacked, you can call for help and cooperate with the people next to you!"

However, within a few seconds, the lights in the elevator turned on again, and it returned to normal, but the situation of the elevator changed again.

"My God!"

Next to Ronald, who had come to his senses, Adolf covered his mouth when he saw the scene on the surveillance screen.

Not only them, Jeffrey subconsciously sucked in a breath of air.

In his eyes, two more people died in the elevator.

Vic, who was wearing a gray suit, fell to the ground. It seemed that the cause of death was a broken neck, as if someone pinched his head and turned it around.

At the same time, black Ralph and Max in casual clothes were the most suspected suspects. Among them, the black Ralph's head had disappeared, and blood was slowly flowing from the vent hole on it, and the elevator where it flowed was covered with blood.

"Damn!!!!"

Max, who was still holding Ralph's headless body, cursed secretly, and quickly let go, his face and clothes were covered with blood.

In shock, he looked at the headless bodies of Vic and the black Ralph whose necks were twisted and fell to the ground, and then looked at the woman Abigail who was huddled in the corner.

"It's you?"

Abigail, who was also shocked, screamed with some collapse.

"NO!!! NOT ME!!!"

"It's not you! Who else is it!!" Max clenched his gums and walked towards Abigail.

"No! I really didn't do it!" Abigail screamed when she sensed the danger, and she stared at Max.

"It's you! Isn't it! Are you going to kill me next?"

"No!" Max walked towards the old woman instead, directly tore off the rope hanging from it, and then walked towards Abigail.

"NO! It's not me! It's really not me!!" Abigail huddled in the corner, with rain on her face, she had already collapsed.

At the same time, although Jeffrey couldn't hear the conversation, he also saw Max's behavior. He picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the button, saying in a deep voice.

"Max! What are you trying to do!"

"..."

"I'm not a murderer, I won't kill you, I just want to restrict your actions!" Hearing the sound of the radio, Max gritted his teeth, grabbed the collapsed Abigail, and pulled her over forcibly.

"NO!" Abigail broke down and screamed to resist, but she couldn't resist the strong man in the end.

"Don't kill me! Please! Please..."

Max didn't answer, and tied Abigail with a rope with a cold face and threw him in the corner on the other side before returning to his seat to digest what happened just now.

Seeing this, Jeffrey breathed a sigh of relief, watching everything in the elevator subconsciously squeezed his eyebrows, and he found that all the previous inferences had been abruptly cut off again.

In just a few seconds, the most suspected Max and the black Ralph held each other hostage. Even if Max could break free from Ralph's hands, it was impossible to cut off Ralph's head in a few seconds, and then put his head on the air vent while wringing off Vic's head.

The important thing is that the black Ralph's hands and body are still the same as before.

As for Abigail, it is even more impossible. The congenital inadequacy of women also prevents her from doing that.

So who is the murderer?
As if someone was joking with him somewhere, Jeffrey was a little reconciled, and continued to pick up the walkie-talkie and press the button.

"Max! Did you see the murder weapon?"

The voice sounded in the elevator, and Max glanced around numbly, then shook his head.

The entire venue was clean, so clean that there were only red blood and silent corpses.

Seeing Max's response, Jeffrey began to feel a little headache. No matter how the reasoning in this case came to a dead end.

Just when he was at a loss, a police officer hurried over with a document.

"Officer Jeffrey, here are the findings from the Bureau."

Jeffrey was refreshed, and quickly took over the police officer's documents, quickly flipping through them.

As a result, this flip made his expression even more hesitant.

The information inside showed that none of the five people in the elevator were good people.

The old woman Mei Bieler, who hanged herself, has been married thirteen times, and her partners all died strangely. Since these thirteen marriages were all lonely and helpless old men, she successfully accepted all the assets of her partner and became a billionaire in one fell swoop.

The black Ralph who lost his head was suspected of domestic violence and robbery. He just finished his sentence and was released from prison this year.

Vic, whose neck was broken, was involved in several financial frauds, many of which involved family ruin and suicide.

Max, who survived, was discharged from the army, but he was suspected of violating the ban on the battlefield.

As for Abigail, he was suspected of a murder, but was released because there was no evidence.

There is no connection between the five.

Jeffrey put away the materials, his face was serious, and he remembered the stories he heard when he was a child.

"A devil who turned into a human! A devil who judges sinners!!" Jeffrey muttered to himself, thinking of what his mother said.

If there are things that cannot be logically understood, as long as they are pushed to things that don't exist, then it all makes sense.

"What are you talking about, officer? The devil?"

Compared to the dazed Adolf, Ronald heard Jeffrey's whisper, and he quickly talked about the skull...

"Officer, take a look."

As he said that, under Jeffrey's watchful eye, he operated the console and played back the afterimage he had seen before.

It's a pity that the afterimage was gone at that point in time.

"Impossible, I saw it with my own eyes!" Ronald shouted.

Hearing this, Jeffrey grabbed Ronald's hand.

"Are you sure?"

Ronald nodded, but looked at the playback screen and shook his head again,

"At that time, I did see a skull composed of afterimages, but I don't know why it disappeared on the screen..."

Jeffrey let go of Ronald's hand in a daze, and looked at the elevator monitoring screen above.

As if to prove something, the lights of the elevator began to flicker again.

Jeffrey felt something was wrong and stared at the monitoring screen.

Sure enough, ten seconds later, the lights in the elevator went out again, and the screen went dark.

A few seconds later, it turned on again, and there was another corpse hanging in the air inside. It was Max. His death method was the same as that of the old woman by hanging, and the rope hanging on the vent seemed to have not been touched by him.

Abigail, who was tied up in the corner of the elevator and could not move, collapsed and screamed.

"Who can come and save me!!!"

"..."

This directly proved the judgment in Jeffrey's heart. When everyone present was staring at the screen in a daze, he decisively picked up his mobile phone and silently dialed Baker's phone number.

.............................................

At this moment.

An unpretentious house with crosses hanging everywhere.

Yorks, who had just returned home from church, was throwing a stack of banknotes into a box. This stack of banknotes was the money that believers put in the offering box today, totaling $[-].

Of course, he doesn't plan to use the money, but will donate all of it in tomorrow's charity event.

The important thing is that the money in this box alone already has no less than 15 US dollars, which is the trust and love of believers for a long time.

Also, the US dollars donated by these believers can be exchanged for points when donated in tomorrow's charity event, although this is determined by the system.

After dealing with this matter, Yorks continued to come to the living room, picked up the backpack placed there, and continued to the basement without stopping, preparing to place the holy water and bullets just made today, and to maintain the firearms inside.

Everything needs maintenance so that it will not rot, especially for deadly things like firearms. If something goes wrong, it will be very dangerous.

As soon as he came to the room and opened the secret door, the cell phone in his arms vibrated non-stop, Yorks didn't care, he just picked up the cell phone and connected it as he walked into the basement.

To his surprise, as soon as the call was connected, the mechanical voice rang in his ear first.

[Trigger random task]
[Save more innocent people from angry demons]
[Task reward: +20 points]

[Whether to accept]

　I'm sorry, I haven't slept much recently, my mind is muddled, my IQ and writing are a bit anxious, I also feel that something is wrong, and I can't write the feeling I want, but it's hard to get rid of it, so I can only learn a lesson.

　　At the same time, the codeword time may not be fixed, and it will probably be released at an irregular time at night in the future.

　　Reiterating the old saying, it is about recommending and seeking further reading. The new book has [-] new books every day, and [-] new books are on the shelves every day!
