Midnight Anchorwoman - C25

Very soon, I saw a tall, thin man with glasses following Gao Ming. He looked very cultured and gentle. “Hurry up. Hurry up.” I was practically jogging my way over, but Gao Ming was still urging me on.

The elevator is open and the management of the storehouse is done very well. At night, only the man called Zhang Yue has the key to the entire eighteenth floor, which goes up and down the stairs.

17, 16, 15, 14… I watched the numbers dwindle until they reached the first floor. When we went out, there were already a dozen people gathered outside.

It was three in the morning at this time. There were some people wearing pajamas and taking pictures with their phones in their hands, looking at the pictures that were captured on their phones, I suddenly remembered something and raised my head to look. The terrifying scene that appeared on broadcast No. 404, could it be that someone accidentally took pictures of Su Lin falling from a building?

It’s possible that people are almost always on their phones these days, and there’s one thing I can’t figure out, even if it does happen, how to find me through the live broadcast.

There was an ambulance parked in front of us. A few men in white coats were standing by the side.

“Municipal Bureau Criminal Investigation Team.”

“Hello.” The older man turned. “He was dead when we got there.”

“Leave it to me.”

He should be reporting it to his leader. Judging from his brilliant expression, he must have paid a lot of attention to Wind And Thunder Building cases, and this was the first case that he was going to take over.

“Alright, alright.”

Gao Ming kept nodding his head before putting down the phone, “Our people will be here soon. Maintain the scene first.”

“Brilliant! How do you know that a person fell from the 18th floor?”

I was curious about this, because both Gao Ming and I were up there, and if Gao Ming hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have known what was going on down there.

“I told him.”

The one who spoke was Zhang Yue. After he finished speaking, he coughed once, “Actually, it was one of their roommates who saw Wu Li jump down, so they called me. Since I am the person in charge here, it just so happened that Officer Gao was also here at that time.”

Then I heard a cry. Two girls were standing a meter away from the body, holding on to each other, and I saw that they were bent over, their hands over their mouths, and that the crying had come from their mouths.

Zhang Yue’s explanation was very reasonable. I walked over and looked at the location of the fall. The floor was covered with blood, and the corpse’s position was very strange.

“It’s her.”

Subconsciously, I took a step back. Then, I heard a high-pitched scream. My heels firmly stepped on his feet. I saw that girl’s face.

It was the girl I met in the bathroom.

From the fall of the building to the phone call, the ambulance to the final contact with the person in charge, it took a while, which means that what I saw in the toilet wasn’t human at all.

That was the only reasonable explanation. Why was she crying in the bathroom?

Very quickly, Zhang Yue came over with the two girls whose faces were drained of blood. They were the dead person’s roommates, and they were temporarily replaced with the long-haired girl and the pigtailed girl.

“Did you guys discover Wu Li jumping off the building?”

“Yes, no.”

Their expressions were filled with panic, and their voices were shaking as they spoke. They were probably scared and said, “Why don’t we let the two of them rest for a while.”

Gao Ming nodded. “Alright, we’ll ask about it when our people arrive, but you have to make sure that no one else is nearby during this period of time.” The aim should be to avoid being influenced by others.

Zhang Yue nodded, “Alright, the two of you go to the ambulance first.” The two frightened girls got into the ambulance and the doors were pulled shut. Compared to them, I really didn’t look like a girl at all.

Wind And Thunder Building

A phone rang in the dark office. The chair moved a little and a hand came out. “Another one died, boss.”

“What are all of you doing? This will affect the price that can be negotiated later on in the company.” The man’s voice was clearly angry.

“The rumors during this period of time are very fierce. If it’s impossible, I can only ask Elder Yan to step in.”

“Then what are we waiting for? As long as it’s a problem that can be solved with money, don’t bother me anymore.” The phone hung up and slammed down on the table.

The chair slowly turned back, and the office once again became dead silent. If it wasn’t for that phone call, no one would have thought that there was someone sitting on that chair.

Along with the sound of sirens, the members of the Criminal Investigation Squad quickly arrived. The scene was cordoned off, and those who were watching the scene could only stand outside and peek inside.

The simple autopsy report was quickly obtained, but of course, this was all told to me by someone smart. This is because when I fell down, someone saw that the time of death was right, and the body didn’t find any medicine or anything else. Which is to say, Wu Li was completely conscious before she fell down.

This almost eliminated the possibility of him killing them. There were no traces of binding or external forces on the corpses, so they could only wait until the two girls calmed down before they could find out what had happened.

The door of the ambulance opened, and Xue Zimo and the other policeman went up first. Maybe it was because it was a girl, but Gao Ming followed along too.

At this time, everyone’s attention was on the fall case and no one noticed me. Firstly, I am not a member of the criminal investigation team, so it is impossible for me to be this close to the corpse. Because I have always been with Gao Ming, and almost everyone here believes that I am a member of the criminal investigation team.

I raised my head and looked up. The morning temperature was very low, but I could actually see a window that was open. This was strange, as I quickly counted up.

From the window’s position, Wu Li should have jumped out from that window. Just as I raised my head to look up, suddenly, a person appeared in the window on the 18th floor.

A woman stood at the eighteenth floor’s window and looked down. Her face was exactly the same as Wu Li’s, who had fallen into a pool of blood.

I almost shouted out, but I held back. I believed that even if I did shout out, no one here would be able to see it except me. That would only be considered a mental illness.

When I saw her wave her hand, I thought that she was saying goodbye to me, which simply wasn’t it, because that direction wasn’t in the direction where I was standing at all. I looked in her direction and saw that the person who was standing there expressionlessly was actually Zhang Yue.

“Did you love someone?”

My mind suddenly recalled the scene we met in the toilet. Could it be that the person she was referring to was Zhang Yue? When I raised my head to look at the window on the eighteenth floor, that place was already empty.
