Tianming Liu walked back and forth cautiously near the elevator. He was a little concerned about the fact that elevator number 2 had stopped on the 18th floor for five minutes. Now, elevator number 2 was slowly climbing up again.
Ding! The moment the elevator door opened, Tianming Liu was facing the elevator. His left hand was already in his pocket as he unlocked the safety of his Type 92 pistol. As long as there was any abnormality in the elevator, he would pull out the pistol filled with 20 bullets within 0.2 seconds.
But there was nothing in the elevator…
The empty elevator seemed to be mocking Liu Tianming's allergy. The clean inner wall of the elevator reflected Liu Tianming's shadow, which was slightly distorted.
Tianming Liu was unwilling to give up. He slowly walked into the elevator without taking his hand out of his chest.
There was a faint refreshing smell in the elevator. Liu Tianming sniffled and his eyes swept across the elevator. This carriage…why did it feel cleaner than usual? Liu Tianming placed two fingers on the carriage wall and felt a little moist…
The elevator went down to the lobby on the first floor, and Tianming Liu walked out with a frown. A girl hired from the etiquette company to guide the guests to sign had been peeping at this cool Assistant Liu from the beginning. Seeing that he kept fiddling with his fingers, she thought that he had touched something dirty, so she boldly took a tissue from the signature table and handed it to Tianming Liu.
Liu Tianming shook his head without saying a word and did not take the tissue. Seeing that his fingers were clean, the girl asked curiously,"Did you get pricked by a small thorn?"
Liu Tianming looked up blankly." Ah? What was that? " Oh…No, no…" He walked away with a strange expression, leaving the girl who had finally mustered up the courage to talk to him on the spot. The girl's face immediately turned red, and it was unknown whether she was embarrassed or angry.
However, Tianming Liu couldn't be blamed. His attention was now focused on his hand. There was nothing on his hand, so why was there a familiar sticky feeling between his index finger and middle finger? He turned around and walked to elevator number 2, which he had just taken, to go in and take a look. However, as soon as the door opened, Liu Tianming immediately regretted taking the elevator again because there was already someone in the elevator. The fat woman, Zhu Ling, who gave Liu Tianming a headache, was waving at him with a smile.
Zhu Ling grabbed Liu Tianming's left arm." Assistant Liu, so you're hiding down there. I've been looking for you for so long. Didn't you promise to make a cocktail with me…"
Liu Tianming didn't expect her to chase him downstairs. He accidentally stumbled from her pull. This woman was so fat, but her hands were really strong. He was a little angry, but he couldn't hold it in any longer. He exerted 30% of his strength and used a small move to throw off the fat arm. "The matter that Chairman Pu arranged for me to do is a little urgent. I really can't accompany you.”He had not forgotten to thank Zhu Ling for her "good intentions".
Zhu Ling's wrist was in a lot of pain after straining it. Finally, she flew into a rage out of humiliation and cursed uncleanly,"F * ck you. You're actually so tactless. Handsome guys who want to lean on me, Zhu Ling, have to queue up. I gave you a chance to cut in line, but you're already putting on airs for me.”She paused for a moment and smiled evilly."It's always been said that Pu Yuan doesn't like women and only knows how to guard the old woman at home. Could it be that you're the Luan Tong that Pu Yuan raised? Without Master's permission, you don't dare to change the bed? Hehe…"
Liu Tianming did not expect the woman in front of him to have such a foul mouth. His face turned red and white. He wanted to slap this fat woman. His left hand trembled for a while, but he suppressed the thought and pressed the elevator button without a sound. He watched the elevator door close again and brought the woman to the top floor.
Zhu Ling huffed as she applied powder on her face in the elevator. She was prepared to go to the top floor to find another target. Otherwise, tonight's beautiful scenery would be wasted again. She took out a small round mirror from her bag to check the effect of the powder. Unfortunately, her round face was too big, so she had to move her head as much as possible to see her full appearance. As she was looking around, Zhu Ling suddenly felt something brush past her head. Her scalp felt itchy. She couldn't help but reach out to scratch it, but she grabbed a handful of smooth and supple hair.
Zhu Ling's entire body trembled. Her hair was specially styled in a hair salon, so how could it have a smooth and supple feeling?
She looked up in fear and trepidation. With just one glance, she let out a miserable scream like a pig being slaughtered!
A black woman was standing upside down on Zhu Ling's head. Her withered and pale face was very close to Zhu Ling's, smiling sinisterly at her. A drop of blood that had turned black dripped from the corner of her mouth onto Zhu Ling's chubby face that had just been covered in white powder. Zhu Ling was holding the woman's long hair that was hanging down from her head...
Before Zhu Ling could let out a second scream, a pair of fingers plunged down from the air and pierced into her eyes. The two knuckles, which were only white bones and had no muscles, completely sank into Zhu Ling's eyes. Two streams of blood mixed with the liquid in her eyeballs splashed on the inner wall of the elevator with great force and slowly flowed down the wall of the elevator...
It was almost 7:30 pm. Pu Yuan finally waited for the last two guests who had arrived late. He hurriedly called the remaining people in the hall to go to the top floor. Soon, a lot of people were standing in elevator No. 1. Gu Qing stood in front of the elevator and didn't go in. She wanted to wait for elevator No. 2 to come down, but Liu Tianming gave her a light push behind her, and the two of them squeezed into elevator No. 1 together.
"What are you doing?" Gu Qing turned around and glared at Liu Tianming, a little angry at his recklessness. "Do you want to be like this now or do you want to take elevator number two with me alone later?" Tianming Liu said with a smile.”
Gu Qing glanced at him and ignored him.
The group of people walked into the banquet hall. The host, Pu Yuan, stood on the stage and patted the microphone. The banquet hall that was bustling just now became silent.
" Everyone, speaking before dinner is the most unpopular," Pu Yuan said jokingly, and the crowd laughed knowingly. "So, let's talk while eating." Pu Yuan lightly clapped his palms, and the banquet officially began.
Soft piano music filled the banquet hall, and a snow-white tablecloth covered the long dining table. The milk lobsters had just been flown in from new Zealand. Pu Yuan had specially brought the milk lobsters sashimi made by a Japanese chef from the headquarters with the sparkling red salmon roe. They were definitely top-notch. Although it wasn't the season to eat sea urchins, the sea urchins provided by the resourceful Pu Yuan were fatter than anything the guests had ever seen before. In addition, the rare bluefin tuna and French Moet Yue champagne made the guests even more intoxicated. In order to display Teng Long's strength, Pu Yuan had spent quite a bit of capital. This cocktail party was very successful for Pu Yuan. At this moment, he was walking around in the crowd. Wherever he appeared, the enthusiasm would increase, and there would be bursts of cheerful laughter from time to time.
There were always young and handsome men around Gu Qing, or men who thought they were young and handsome. There were many men who dreamed of getting close to them, which gave her a headache. In the end, Gu Qing couldn't stand the constant harassment of a middle-aged boss with a bumpy face, so he pulled Liu Tianming out as a shield. The flattered Liu Tianming was pulled to the floor-to-ceiling glass window by Gu Qing's left arm. Several men looked at him enviously.
Gu Qing didn't say anything. He leaned his head against the window pillar, his eyes filled with melancholy. Liu Tianming didn't say anything. He just stood quietly beside her with his back straight. He accompanied Gu Qing to look at the bustling city night view outside the window.
After a long time, Liu Tianming slowly said,""Gu Qing, are you worried about something? If you tell me, maybe I can bear part of it for you?”
"Oh…sorry, I was distracted.”Gu Qing smiled apologetically." I'm just wondering if there are many areas in this world that we have never explored, and there are always eyes watching us.”
Liu Tianming rubbed his smooth chin with the back of his hand.""Are you a science fiction fan like me?”
Gu Qing was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud." Haha…I guess so. Then you should be willing to try to understand some questions that go against our common sense, right?”
"This…depends on whether this question has any scientific basis.”
" What if there's no scientific basis?"
"Haha…Feudal superstitions are severely punished by the country.”
"Then why is religion so popular?”
"Get rid of the dross and extract the essence.”
Gu Qing didn't say anything else and turned his head to the window again.
"Did Yuwen Shuxue say anything to you?”Liu Tianming hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Him? "He didn't say anything…" Gu Qing sounded uncertain.
Liu Tianming was about to say something when a slightly hoarse voice sounded beside him.
"Supervisor Gu, you're so beautiful today!" The person who spoke was Du Tingtao. He held a glass of red wine and toasted Gu Qingxu.
Gu Qing was a little stunned, but she quickly recovered her charming smile and raised the champagne in her hand to return Du Tingtao's favor."Manager Du is also in high spirits today.“
"Please forgive my rudeness. May I know where Supervisor Gu is from? I always feel that only the Jiangnan River can nurture a beauty like you.”Du Tingtao gently swirled the red wine in his glass and lowered his head to smell the fragrance of the red wine.
"Hehe…Manager Du is very knowledgeable, but I didn't guess it right this time.”Gu Qing took a sip of champagne." I was born and raised in the north, and my parents are from distant Liaoshen.”
"Oh, then I really misjudged. It's only because Supervisor Gu gave me the feeling that he was an old friend today that I dared to guess.”Du Tingtao downed the red wine in his glass.
"Is that so? If I have the chance next time, I would like to meet Manager Du's old friend and see if she really looks like me.”
Du Tingtao's tone was relaxed and casual, but Gu Qing was a little wary. Was this the arrogant and cold Du Tingtao?
Du Tingtao's sharp gaze swept past Liu Tianming, who was standing at the side, and he said,"Chairman Pu is a little too careful. It's just a gathering with more guests, but there are so many security guards.”He deliberately referred to the police as security guards, and his words were full of contempt.
Tianming Liu was a little angry, but he couldn't say anything. He wasn't supposed to be on this mission today. The bureau chief had already named the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team Two, Old Xia, to lead the team to carry out the mission. The reason was that Tianming Liu might not be calm enough to carry out his official duties in the building where Zhang Jianguo died. He relied on his good personal relationship with Sherlie to force Sherlie to take sick leave an hour before the trip. The chief had no choice but to let him lead the team. If he were to speak up against Manager Du now, it would be difficult to deal with if the bureau chief who was not far from here saw him.
Even though Du Tingtao did not know that there had been a very serious murder case in the building, Gu Qing still felt that it was inappropriate for him to speak like this in front of Liu Tianming. She quickly tried to smooth things over." It's better to be careful. Chairman Pu often makes such arrangements when he holds banquets in the capital. Everyone works for the boss, so it's not easy."”
Du Tingtao snorted." Chairman Pu, do you often use your time to hold banquets?”
Gu Qing could hear the hidden meaning in Du Tingtao's words, so she did not continue his conversation." We part-timers just need to take care of our own land. There's no need to worry about the boss's matters, right?”
Tianming Liu didn't know the meaning behind these words. He only felt that Manager Du was always pestering Gu Qing and looked down on him. He was really annoyed. Just as he was thinking about how to reply to him, the communication device in his ear rang again!
"Captain Liu! I heard movement downstairs!" Xiao Li's urgent voice came from the communication device.
Tianming Liu immediately turned around and ran toward the kitchen. Gu Qing saw that he had suddenly abandoned her and ran away in a hurry. He did not know what had happened.
Xiao Li squatted beside the main drain pipe in the kitchen, his ears pressed against the water pipe. When Liu Tianming strode to his side, he happened to catch up with the second strange sound coming from downstairs along the pipe.
"Bang!" It seemed like something heavy had hit a water pipe downstairs.
"Let's go down!" Tianming Liu tugged at Xiao Li's collar.
" But the fire stairs are locked…"
"Take the elevator!"
"The elevator can't go downstairs. It can only go down to the first floor. I checked it when I found that the fire door was locked.”Xiao Li had always been a meticulous person.
"F * ck, what the hell!" Tianming Liu pushed away a chef who was passing by him and ran toward Gu Qing.
"What is it? Is there a strange noise downstairs?" Gu Qing panicked, his eyes moving unnaturally to the sides. Liu Tianming, who was staring at Gu Qing's eyes, immediately noticed her strange expression. He took a step forward and asked in a low voice,""Who's downstairs? Who locked the door?"
Gu Qing was at a loss for words.
Liu Tianming glanced at Gu Qing again and ordered through the communication device,""Xiao Li, immediately gather Old Zheng and Vice-Captain Yang in front of the fire escape near the operation room and use tools to open the door! Be careful not to alarm others." Then, he quickly ran away from Gu Qing.
Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly picked up her evening dress and chased after her. She followed Liu Tianming with her gaze and unexpectedly saw that Liu Tianming's left hand, which was waving rapidly as he ran, had a dazzling blood-red stain on his index and middle fingers...
