However, the truth surprised the trio.

The elevator is out of service.

When they climbed to the top floor, they discovered this when they passed the elevator waiting entrance.

The entire Jinse building, a total of four elevators, is all out of service.

"Is the purpose of the company here to save electricity?" Qiu Shuangyue looked at the black display screen and frowned unconsciously, "Why did you turn off all the elevators at just nine o'clock." ”

"Maybe it's because the floor is dark." The Misty Believer observed the environment on this floor and said, "This floor is all dark, except for the chief designer's office, which is still lit. ”

"Damn, they don't work overtime, do they?" Qiu Shuangyue was a little angry, "I knew that I also came to work in Jinse." ”

"The last guy who came to work in Jinse...... I remember that it was called spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, and summer weakness. Bright Candle Snow insinuated in an understated tone.

"Ahh Qiu Shuangyue's expression changed immediately, "That's right, it's not that he doesn't work overtime, but he gets off work forever." ”

"In this way, I really want to work overtime." Qiu Shuangyue smiled bitterly.

The footsteps of the three of them advanced on the road at the top, landing silently.

A ray of light came through the crack in the door of the chief designer's office and was projected on the wall of the corridor.

And the sign next to the door clearly has three words clearly written.

[Kotojuro].

At the bottom right of these three words, there is a line of small letters.

[If you knock on the door three times and no one opens the door, it means that I am sleeping and can come in directly. 】

[If the door is locked, I am not there, please call my secretary.] 】

Underneath the small print is a string of phone numbers.

If it wasn't an extraordinary time, Qiu Shuangyue really wanted to call his secretary.

"So what?"

Autumn Frost Moon was facing the crack in the door, as if trying to find something out of the crack in the door.

"Just go inside."

But the Misty Believer stepped forward and pushed open the door that seemed to be hiding countless secrets.

……

"No wonder I always feel like something is missing." The Misty Believer stood at the doorway of his office, his expression solemn.

"It turns out that the most important person is gone." Mingzhu also shook his head and sighed, "After all, he is the creator." ”

And Qiu Shuangyue, he could only keep his eyes open and couldn't say a word.

Because a corpse hung in the middle of this room, swaying in the subtle flow of air.

It was the body of Kotojuro.

His hands were tied behind his back, and he had a nearly two-meter-long data cable around his neck, the end of which was tied to the chandelier in the ceiling.

The quality of this chandelier is really good.

"The blinds in the room are closed and the glass is not broken." The Misty Believer walked over to the window and took a look, then began to scan the room again.

In fact, the room didn't look like a murder scene at all.

Instead, it's more like an upscale living room.

After all, its form is too well organized.

Except, of course - except for the one who was hanged in the middle of the room.

"His hands were tied behind his back, and his nails were broken and lacerated...... No, even if he didn't look at this, he couldn't have committed suicide. Akikaru walked over to Kotojuro's corpse and observed the poor man.

"Why can you be so sure?" Autumn Frost Moon also stood beside the bright candle and snow.

"It's simple." Ming Candle with Snow stretched out his hand and pointed to the data cable behind Kotojuro's neck, and then pointed to Kotojuro's neck, "See, this is the data cable, and the scar on his neck ......"

"The scar on his neck is larger than the data cable, and the lines are different, so it is obvious that he was not strangled with a data cable." Qiu Shuangyue frowned, "But this is too obvious. ”

"It's like the murderer is provoking, isn't it?" Ming Candle Companion Xue sneered, "Leave traces of a pretended clumsy crime to seduce the hunter's pursuit." ”

"But now we've killed people, so I'm not qualified to say that people are murderers or anything." "But if you have to interpret our previous actions as legitimate defense, then I don't have anything to say." ”

"Don't look at the corpses."

The voice of the Misty Believer summoned the attention of the two.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the boss's chair where Kotojuro had sat before his death, looking at the empty table in front of him except for the computer.

"There's clearly something missing in this room." The Misty Believer's hands gestured, "I don't know what is missing, but it must be missing." ”

"Hmm...... Missing Qin Huixin? Qiu Shuangyue asked.

"Qin Huixin's words, this point can be found as soon as you enter the door." The Misty Believer looked around, "If she was still here, she would have come out a long time ago." “

"But since she didn't come out, it means she probably can't stay here anymore, or heh-" Bright Candle yawned with snow.

"Or rather, there's no need for her to come out." The Misty Believer completes what she wants to say.

"Well, that's it." Mingzhu Companion Xue nodded, "So what do you want to say, what is missing?" ”

"Game pod." "Look at this side of the desk, it's clear that there used to be some kind of large item here, but now there's a nondescript wastebasket. ”

"From the perspective of space,I originally bought it to place a 56-inch TV cabinet with a large TV,But at the moment, I inexplicably only put an 18-inch small monitor,Whoever sees it will feel strange, right?" The Misty believer continued, "And so is this space. ”

"I seem to understand when you say that." Qiu Shuangyue nodded, "That means the question now is, where did that game pod go, right?" ”

"That's not the problem." The Misty Believer shook his head, "Because the question of where the game pod is is not important in itself, what matters is ...... What exactly is the person who took the game pod going to do with that game pod, or what to do with that game pod? ”

"That is, the purpose of the action." Bright candles and snow were replenished on the side.

"Anyway." The Misty Believer took off his top hat, "Now that you're here, let's get down to business." ”

As he spoke, he slipped his hand into his top hat and pulled out the three imagers he had put in earlier.

"Although Kotojuro's corpse is indeed a sudden incident for us, we still have to continue to do it." The Misty Believer said as he set up the imager, "After all, we don't have that much time left, let's put his body down together when we're done in a while." ”

Throughout, no one spit on his top hat.
