Andy Li, Chen Chuyao and Miss Lizhi walked out of the main entrance of the annex.

The security guard wearing a black suit outside the door carefully watched the few people walking out of the annex, thinking that he recognized all the directors and staff who landed on the island.

The staff in the lobby of the annex respectfully sent several people to the vestibule of the annex.

"Where are you going, Mr. Andy?"

A young female staff member in uniform asked politely.

"We're going to take a walk around the island!"

Andy Li replied politely.

"You can take the shuttle bus to anywhere on the island!" As he spoke, the staff pointed to several luxury convertibles parked on the north side of the annex's forecourt. They were the same vehicles that Andy Li and others took when they came to the annex.

"Of course you want to take a walk, you can also choose to walk." The staff continued to explain: "It takes about 5 minutes to walk from here to the main building. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the lake view villa. The scenery of the lake and forest on the road is very beautiful.

good."

Andy Li and others wanted to conduct an investigation, so they chose to walk.

"Do I need to arrange staff to accompany you?"

"No! Thank you." Andy Li declined the staff's suggestion to accompany him.

The top of the mountain is not large, and everyone who visits the island has already undergone strict security inspections, so there are only a few security personnel in front of a few buildings on the island.

In view of the previous murders, several directors went to the island with accompanying security personnel, but the security personnel on the island remained as they were.

Chen Chuyao chatted with the security personnel in front of the door. The security personnel basically did not hide anything about Chen Chuyao's questioning.

Chen Chuyao first checked with the security personnel about the conditions of several people who went to the main library at the time of the incident.

The evening of September 24th

Vice Chairman Benson went to the main building at 17:50 and returned to the annex at 18:20

Director Wang Zhitao went to the main building at 18:10 and returned to the annex at 18:35

Director Guo Ziteng went to the main building at 18:30 and returned to the annex at 18:45

Director Wang Yumo went to the main building at 18:45 and returned to the annex at 19:00

What the security personnel said was completely consistent with the case file. Chen Chuyao then asked: "Did anyone leave the annex between 20:10 and 21:00?"

The security personnel recalled the situation at that time and then said: "Director Wang Zhitao left the annex around 19:00 and returned to the annex around 20:50."

The security personnel should have understood the purpose of Chen Chuyao's question, and immediately explained: "However, after Director Wang Zhitao left the annex, he went to the direction of the artificial lake, and did not return to the annex from the artificial lake until 20:50."

"You mean Director Wang Zhitao did not go to the main building?" Chen Chuyao followed the security personnel's words and said.

The security guard nodded yes.

"Can't we go to the artificial lake in the north first, and then go around from the north to the north side of the main building, or even around to the west side of the main building?"

Chen Chuyao asked.

"This is impossible!" the security guard said with certainty: "Outside the west side of the main building is a cliff facing the sea, and on the north side is an artificial lake. The main road on the island is as you can see, from the pier to the airport.

Then it passes through the main building and the annex, and finally extends from the east bank of the artificial lake to the lake view villa located on the north bank of the artificial lake. Therefore, if Director Wang Zhitao wants to get close to the main building, he does not have to return from the north along the only road on the island.

, pass by the annex building, and then go to the main building.”

"According to your statement, it is impossible to approach the main building from the north and west sides?" Chen Chuyao confirmed.

The security guard nodded solemnly.

"Can I approach the main building from the east side?" Andy Li pointed to the east window of the main building opposite.

"Because I have been on duty here, I can confirm that no one has been there between 20:10 and 21:00," the security guard confirmed.

"Did this fountain erupt between 20:10 and 21:00?"

Chen Chuyao asked, pointing to the fountain located between the annex building and the east window of the main building.

"According to the fountain's operating rules, it will indeed erupt from 20:25 to 20:30."

the security guard replied.

"If someone came back from the north and approached the east window of the main building when the fountain was erupting, would you notice it?"

Chen Chuyao asked next.

When the security personnel heard this, they immediately became a little uneasy. They first looked at the main road to the north, and then at the east window of the main building behind the fountain. Finally, they shook their heads unwillingly and said: "In my current position, it is true that

Unobservable."

"When the fountain erupted that night, did you leave here for inspection?"

Chen Chuyao asked again immediately.

The security guard shook his head helplessly...

Then, Andy Li and the other three went to the back of the fountain and inspected the situation outside the east window of the main hall.

From the vestibule where the fountain is located to the main pavilion is a stretch of green grass with some beautiful shrubs and flowers planted there. There is no road leading to the east window of the main pavilion. Since the fountain erupts every 30 minutes, those flowers and plants are covered with

Stained with water droplets from the fountain.

"Looking at it this way, it is entirely possible that Wang Zhitao entered the main building through the east window under the cover of the fountain." Andy Li looked at the large and exquisite windows on the upper and lower floors on the east side of the main building and said: "But the crime scene is recorded in the case file.

The doors and windows are all locked from the inside. It seems we still need to find out how the prisoner locked the windows from the outside!"

Miss Lychee folded her hands on her chest and said with a smile: "Interesting!"

"Let's go to the main hall and the lake view villa to have a look!" Chen Chuyao suggested.

"Okay!" Andy Li responded.

Then a few people walked along the main road to the main building.

After arriving at the main building, several people first talked with the security personnel guarding the front yard of the main building and confirmed the situation on the night of September 24.

Vice Chairman Benson entered the main hall at 18:00 and left the main hall at 18:10

Director Wang Zhitao entered the main hall at 18:15 and left the main hall at 18:30

Director Guo Ziteng entered the main hall at 18:30 and left the main hall at 18:45

Director Wang Yumo entered the main hall at 18:50 and left the main hall at 18:55

Because Sheng Jingfeng had important discussions with several directors, during this period Sheng Jingfeng withdrew all the staff in the main hall until the meeting was over. Only the security personnel in the front yard of the main hall stayed there at all times.

"This is the wrong time!"

Andy Li discovered contradictions in what the two security guards said.

"For the convenience of memory, the times I mentioned are all integer times. There will indeed be a deviation of 1 or 2 minutes. For example, at 18:01, I might calculate it as 18:00." The security guard explained.

"It took Vice Chairman Benson about 10 minutes to leave the annex and go to the main building, while the young directors Wang Zhitao and Wang Yumo took about 5 minutes." Andy Li expressed his doubts, "Even if it takes 1 or 2 minutes

Deviation, but why did Guo Ziteng leave the annex at 18:30 and arrive at the main building at 18:30? Could it be that you remembered it wrong?"

"Oh! By the way, I forgot to mention that." The security guard explained: "Director Guo Ziteng took the shuttle bus to the main building! It only takes about 1 minute to drive from the annex to the main building."

"So that's it..."

After hearing this, Andy Li felt that this made sense, which meant that there was no problem in time.

"Did Director Guo Ziteng take the shuttle bus because of physical reasons?" Chen Chuyao then asked.

"Director Guo Ziteng doesn't seem to have any physical problems." The security guard said, recalling the situation that day: "Maybe he just doesn't want to walk! Oh, by the way! When Director Guo Ziteng came out of the main hall, I saw that he walked very slowly, maybe

It must be because I had an unpleasant conversation with the chairman, he looks very worried."

Andy Li expressed his gratitude to the security staff, and then several people entered the main hall.

The main building is a two-story building. There is a two-way curved white marble staircase in the center of the hall leading to the second floor. The two large rooms on the first floor are the banquet hall and the conference hall, and the second floor is the meeting room of former chairman Sheng Jingfeng.

Living room and study room and bedroom.

Andy Li and others met assistant Feng Shallun in the lobby, who came to check on the preparations for the dinner.

Andy Li proposed that he want to visit Sheng Jingfeng's living room.

Although Feng Sharon felt that Andy Li's request was a bit strange, because it was the former chairman's private space. But after all, the former chairman had passed away, and there was no need for him to offend the new independent director.

"No one is using the second floor now. After all, there was a murder. Please do what you want!" Feng Sharon said with a smile: "Just please don't stay too long. If you are seen by the eldest and second young masters, you will always

Something is wrong."

"Thank you, Assistant Feng, for reminding me!"

Andy Li agreed and expressed that he accepted the goodwill conveyed by him.

So, the three of them went up the stairs and arrived at the second floor.

Facing the stairs is the living room. The doors to the opposite side are tightly closed at this time. Andy Li pushed open the pair of doors with beautiful reliefs, and the huge living room was revealed in front of the three people.

Andy Li and Chen Chuyao immediately inspected the living room.

The window of the living room faces the direction of the artificial lake. Looking out from the window, you can clearly see the artificial lake outside and the lake view villa across the lake. Looking down, you can see a tidal flat.

Except for some shrubs and some reeds by the water, there is nothing worth noting in the open space. The window on the second floor is about 5 or 6 meters above the ground. The window and window sill are clean and there are no signs of damage.

In the middle of the living room, near the bookcase, is a huge desk. Between the desk and the bookcase is a corpse shape drawn with white pen. Except for the corpse and the marble statue used as the murder weapon, the others and the case files have been removed.

Completely consistent.

The door to the living room could originally be locked from the inside, but could not be opened from the outside even with the room key. At this time, the door lock had been damaged due to the break-in. There were no signs of a fight in the room.

Then the three of them went to the study and bedroom respectively. The window of the study was facing the sea, and the steep cliff was outside the window. The window of the bedroom was facing the fountain and the annex to the east of the fountain.

There were no signs of damage or entry or exit on the windows and doors of the two rooms, and there were no signs of fighting inside.

"There were no signs of anyone entering or exiting the window, and there were no signs of a fight in the living room. The murderer must be someone familiar to Sheng Jingfeng. After entering through the front door, he took advantage of Sheng Jingfeng's unpreparedness and used a heavy object to smash Sheng Jingfeng to death from behind," Andy Li analyzed.
