Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm

Zhou Ruochuan: "I went back to work at the medicine dispensing window on the first floor, and then I heard that someone had jumped off the building, so I rushed over to see."

After everyone had finished explaining, Wang Zeyu, though extremely dissatisfied with the newcomer's perfunctory attitude, didn't say anything.

He acted as the leader, waving to the crowd.

"Alright, now that everything's said, we can dismiss everyone. Does anyone have any questions?"

Su Mian stood up. "I have a question."

"explain."

Her gaze fell on Zhou Ruochuan. "I remember the pharmacy was very close to the hospital entrance."

Zhou Ruochuan, looking utterly smug, asked, "Uh, what's wrong?"

"Your statement is problematic. The sound of a person falling from a height and hitting the ground is very short, but also very loud."

"The sound was louder than gunfire but quieter than fireworks."

"If you were at the medicine dispensing area, you would definitely hear this sound before others, instead of hearing others say that someone jumped off a building before you noticed it."

Su Mian slowly walked up to him, and Zhou Ruochuan's expression finally changed. His Adam's apple bobbed for a moment, and the words of explanation stuck in his throat.

"Besides, you were out of breath when you arrived at the crime scene. It shouldn't be like that, coming all the way from the medicine dispensing area, right?"

The way everyone looked at him changed in an instant. Su Tang exclaimed, "Wow! Qing Ci, you're amazing!"

"I've disliked him for a long time. He acts like it's none of his business. Anyone who didn't know better would think he's a DM (Maleficent).

Chen Mo picked them up with both hands and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Tell me, where else did you go besides the medicine dispensing station?"

Zhou Ruochuan's face paled. "I...I also went to the 21st floor."

"You went to the 21st floor too?"

Su Mian was somewhat surprised. What exactly was going on on the 21st floor? Why were so many people going there? And what was its connection to the deceased? And why did the deceased come to the hospital?

"etc."

Su Mian suddenly looked up, "Does anyone know this deceased person?"

"Yang Xuan? Everyone who studies at Fushan University knows him, right?"

Chen Mo lowered his eyes and picked at his nails. "He's always at the top of the list of the top ten academic achievers every year. It's hard not to notice him."

Wang Zeyu: "Okay, then, Qingci and I will go to the monitoring room to see which floor the deceased jumped from."

"Zhang Shuozhi and Zhou Ruochuan, please check the hospital's entry and exit records. Sister Chen and Su Tang, please go to the 21st floor and see if you can find anything."

Su Mian followed Wang Yuxuan to the security room on the first floor, where a middle-aged man in a black security uniform was dozing off on the table.

The flow of people in the surveillance footage was slow, as if it were on fast-forward; some images flashed briefly before the people on the screen disappeared.

Wang Zeyu stepped forward and shook the middle-aged man awake. "Hello..."

He had only spoken halfway when the middle-aged man looked up and he paused, then immediately withdrew his hand.

The man's eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes, making him look like he hadn't slept for days. His empty gaze made one's heart tighten.

"What...do you want to do?"

"Uh...we'd like to see the surveillance footage from last night."

Whether he understood or not, the security guard turned his head back and then suddenly turned his head back, getting closer to Wang Zeyu.

"there is none left……"

"there is none left……"

He mechanically repeated the same sentence, his eyes fixed on Wang Zeyu. Wang Zeyu felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze and turned to leave.

Su Mian stepped forward and pointed to the surveillance camera.

"Let's see for ourselves."

After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man finally shut up and slowly made room for the two of them. Su Mian immediately sat down and began to look through the surveillance data from the previous two days.

Su Mian: "The surveillance cameras in the entire building were hacked after the power outage."

Su Mian stared at the dark screen, lost in thought.

It's obvious we can't start here. If we can show them the surveillance footage, we'll probably be close to finding the killer.

The most important thing now is to find the floor where the deceased jumped.

It must be higher than the 21st floor, but there are so many floors above the 21st floor, do we have to search one floor at a time?

Just as the two remained silent, the large screen flickered, and all the surveillance footage began to switch automatically, shake, and hiss, before finally stopping.

Every shot rotates, from the corridors, stairs, rest areas, and even above their heads.

The sound of the camera focusing echoed in the empty hall. With a soft "click," all the screens switched to overhead shots of them, as if they had been taken out of the security room and placed in various corners of the hospital.

Some were wearing hospital gowns, some were wearing nurse uniforms, some were carrying medicine boxes, and some were carrying fruit baskets.

All I saw were their faces.

The oppressive lighting flickered on and off, distorting the images of people in the surveillance footage.

"What... is going on?"

Wang Zeyu was so frightened that his back went cold, and he didn't dare to move at all.

The person in the picture is doing the same action as him, as if he were copied and split off, which is so eerie that it gives you goosebumps.

"Are we being watched?"

Su Mian didn't reply. She moved closer to the monitor, and the "Su Mian" in the monitor also moved closer. Her gaze fell on the screen in the far corner.

In the video, she is wearing a nurse's uniform, with faint red marks visible at the collar. She is holding a stack of files and looks somewhat "wronged".

If you look closely, you can see that she is trembling, as if she has been frightened by something. Her eyes are red and her eyelashes are so long that they almost pierce the screen.

Su Mian was slightly taken aback; her expression wasn't so... pitiful.

She stared at the screen for a long time before finally noticing something different.

Most of the images on the screens showed smiles in their eyes, while others looked aggrieved or even terrified. What did they see?

"Qingci...did you find something?"

Seeing Su Mian frozen in front of the screen, Wang Zeyu couldn't help but go over to check. Coincidentally, his eyes met Su Mian's on the screen, and the girl looked at him with a pitiful expression.

Wang Zeyu's breath hitched, and a flush rose to his face. He was momentarily unsure whether to stare at the screen or at Su Mian.

"I found something... What's wrong with you?"

Su Mian turned her head and saw that Wang Zeyu's face was frighteningly red.

"No, it's nothing!"

"Qingci, you speak."

Wang Zeyu turned his back as if trying to cover up his actions, and leaned casually against the edge of the table.

"There were two places where my expression showed terror."

"And the corresponding floors are... the 21st and the 30th floors."

Su Mian took two steps back, gradually confirming her thoughts: "We were supposed to go downstairs that day, but the elevator stopped on the 30th floor. It might not be a coincidence."

"Instead, the murderer pushed the person down and pressed the buttons for several elevators at the same time, but did not take the one we were in."

The two exchanged a glance, turned and headed towards the elevator, where they happened to run into Chen Mo and Su Tang who were coming downstairs.

When Su Tang saw her, she wasn't as enthusiastic as she had been the day before. Her eyes held a hint of hostility that she couldn't quite put her finger on. Su Mian guessed that they might have discovered something on the 21st floor.
