Chapter 36

~7 min read 1,371 words

These were exactly the points where the case had been unable to break through.

"It might be a bit complicated to describe with words."

In the silent atmosphere,

Lu Shu spoke softly.

"I’ll just demonstrate it for you to see."

Just now, when he logged into his dark web account,

he had already seen a public bounty for murder,

and that bounty had already been taken by a killer.

As for which killer took the mission,

he didn't know for the time being.

But one thing could be roughly determined:

the killer who took the mission was ranked lower than him,

because after just a rough glance,

he could almost know the action process used by that killer.

The movements weren't refined enough,

a bit rough.

There were many details that weren't grasped,

leaving behind quite a few traces.

Those subtle traces might not have been noticed by the major case team or the criminal investigation team.

But in his eyes,

they were like bright lights in the night.

Hearing Lu Shu’s words,

Liu Fan’s expression shifted.

"Are you saying you want to perform a case reconstruction?"

"Case reconstruction? So that’s what you call it..."

"Then let’s call it that."

Lu Shu responded,

searched the room with his eyes,

found a pen on the bedside table, and put it in his pocket.

"Let’s go, starting from the outside."

Lu Shu walked straight out of the room,

and everyone else followed behind him.

He walked all the way to the window at the end of the hallway,

and pointed his finger at the tightly closed window.

"Aren't you puzzled why all the cameras in the entire hotel building"

"didn't capture any suspicious figures?"

"It’s not that the killer used a disguise."

"It’s that the killer didn't come in from the inside at all."

While speaking,

Lu Shu had already gently opened the window,

and a fierce wind instantly rushed in.

"The top floor is very high, and because the wind is strong, the windows aren't opened often."

"But the dust left on this window clearly shows it was opened recently."

"And here, there is a trace."

Several people followed Lu Shu’s finger and looked,

and saw that on the aluminum alloy groove below the windowsill,

there was an extremely subtle, inconspicuous abrasion mark.

It looked like it had been caused by a rope.

Seeing this,

Liu Fan immediately had the major case team quickly record and photograph this clue.

Then he looked up and asked,

"Are you saying... the killer climbed in from the window?"

While speaking,

Liu Fan even stuck his head out the window to take a look.

It was a full 60 meters high!

He continued with a tone of disbelief,

"The height here is a full 60 meters."

"And the outer wall is all glass curtain."

"Is there really a killer who can climb up with their bare hands?"

Liu Fan really didn't believe it;

how did it sound like something from a movie?

But Lu Shu nodded gently.

"It’s not difficult."

"I’ll demonstrate it for you."

Demonstrate it??

Liu Fan didn't even react for a moment,

but Lu Shu had already opened the fire cabinet by the window,

and pulled out a section of fire hose from inside.

Then, to everyone’s dumbfounded amazement,

he calmly jumped out of the window.

This sudden scene

left everyone in the hallway collectively numb.

He just... jumped?

Liu Fan had even subconsciously reached out to grab him just now,

and looking at his empty fingers,

and then looking at the high altitude of several dozen meters outside,

he was stunned.

"Damn it!"

"Why is this young man so reckless?"

"He just jumped like that?"

This was a height of several dozen meters,

and if anything went wrong,

he would definitely have fallen to his death!

In the silent hallway,

only the coiled fire hose was spinning non-stop,

until the entire length of the pipe was extended,

making a "clank" sound.

That sound

made everyone in the hallway break out in a cold sweat,

fearing that the fire hose wouldn't withstand the pressure and would snap.

Liu Fan stuck his head out the window,

and just happened to see a figure land steadily,

and the heart that had been hanging finally settled down.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

"No accidents..."

Immediately, he turned to look at Wang Feng and Zhang Zhang Zhigang.

He asked with a bitter smile,

"Are you sure this young man you brought isn't from a special forces background?"

Hearing this question,

Wang Feng patted his chest.

"That’s not it."

"I can guarantee that much!"

That guy might be much fiercer than special forces.

Chapter 42: This college student is very dangerous!

The length of the fire hose wasn't 60 meters.

For the final height of nearly 10 meters,

Lu Shu used a little leverage on the hotel’s outer wall,

and then landed steadily.

After walking around,

he took the elevator from the main entrance of the hotel back to the top floor.

The two security guards at the entrance

had strange looks in their eyes when they saw Lu Shu.

"Hiss..."

"I always feel like I’ve seen that young man who just went in somewhere before?"

"I’m puzzled too, did he go into the hotel before..."

"Could my eyes be playing tricks on me?"

Taking the elevator straight to the top floor,

when Lu Shu walked out of the elevator whistling,

a whole hallway of people were staring straight at him.

Liu Fan looked him up and down a few times.

"Are you okay?"

"I’m okay."

Lu Shu nodded.

"Just now was a demonstration of how to go down from the outside."

"Actually, coming up is simpler than going down."

"The trace on the window is what was left by the steel wire rope carried by the killer."

"I just demonstrated the possibility of this kind of action."

"If you still have doubts,"

"I can demonstrate how to climb up while I’m at it."

Hearing this,

Liu Fan waved his hand immediately.

"That’s absolutely unnecessary!"

"This evidence is already established!"

"Let’s move on to the next step!"

Was he joking?

Demonstrate how to climb up again?

If something really happened,

he couldn't bear the responsibility.

And most importantly,

he had already seen it:

this college student’s skills were very strong!

Since a "college student" could do it,

then a professionally trained professional killer should also be able to do it.

Plus the trace on the windowsill,

it could at least prove that this method of entry existed.

However, he only now understood

that Lu Shu’s "case demonstration"

was to walk through the entire process of the killer’s murder!

Hearing that there was no need to do it again,

Lu Shu walked silently to the windowsill.

"The position I’m standing in now is where the killer would stand after climbing up."

"I just took a look."

"Only this small corner is the only blind spot for the hallway surveillance."

He pointed at the camera on the wall.

Based on the angle of the camera,

he knew very clearly where the only blind spot was,

and that killer should also be able to see it.

"So, after the killer comes up,"

"he will cut the camera at the first opportunity."

Following Lu Shu’s finger,

everyone’s gaze turned to the broken camera.

Liu Fan asked subconsciously,

"At this distance... how to cut it?"

"Like this."

Lu Shu reached out and flicked his hand gently.

"Whoosh,"

a pencil hit the camera’s circuit 20 meters away with precision.

"I used a pencil, the killer used a knife."

"Someone help me pick it up."

"You should be able to find traces on the carpet where the pencil fell."

Liu Fan signaled with his eyes,

and a team member ran quickly to the spot where the pencil fell,

searched the carpet carefully for a while,

and then held up the camera and snapped away with a serious expression.

"Team Leader! I found something!"

"There is a small depression on this carpet, it looks like a trace left by a sharp blade falling naturally!"

Hearing this,

Liu Fan hurried over to check,

and sure enough, he felt a different cutting trace on the carpet.

Looking up again,
