, hearing something amiss, turned his head back with one hand on the steering wheel. The girl was in tears.He panicked instantly, hurriedly saying: "Hey, don't cry! I believe him, right He's your frie...As soon as these words came out, the property manager of the building immediately glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about The forensic doctor just concluded that the person has been gone for five days, how is it possible that you saw him last night"
The security guard still believed his own eyes, "I really saw it."
The more he thought about it, the colder his spine became. "Could I have seen a ghost..."
The manager hurriedly covered his mouth and scolded him in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, our community is clean!"
What if the neighbors next door hear us and think we're making a commotion or something Will anyone else want to live here after that
Cao Fang has preliminarily learned about the situation from the police. The other party ruled out homicide, and the probability of natural death is higher, but it will be more clear after the forensic autopsy.
As Cao Fang walked out of the room, he overheard a conversation between the security guard and the property manager. The words caught his attention, but to avoid the property manager from evading the situation by claiming it wouldn't affect other residents, he approached the security guard alone and led him to the stairwell.
"Brother, you look pale. How about a cigarette to calm your nerves" Cao Fang offered the other person a pack of cigarettes.
The security guard looked at the cigarette pack, he had never seen this brand before. Could it be a counterfeit He didn't dare to take it, saying in his mouth: "It's alright, thank you."
Cao Fang glanced at his face, guessing his worries. The cigarette he was smoking was indeed one that couldn't be found on the market. It was normal for the other party not to recognize it. Nowadays, being more cautious towards strangers is understandable.
He lit a cigarette right in front of the security guard.
The security guard, seeing this, reached out tremblingly to take it.
Cao Fang took a look, it seemed he was truly frightened, he should not be lying.
After taking two puffs of his cigarette, the security guard's mood seemed noticeably calmer than before.
Cao Fang brushed off some ash and said, "I live on the twelfth floor downstairs. Have you met me before"
The security guard had indeed seen him a few times. It wasn't that his memory was particularly good, like the middle-aged man who died on the 21st floor; he remembered him because he had lived there for many years. As for Cao Fang, it was because he drove a luxury car.
At that time, he still didn't understand how someone who drove such a car could live in such an ordinary residential complex.
The other party's identity must not be ordinary. He replied politely at this time: "I have."
"I also suddenly heard that someone died in this building. It's my professional habit to come up and have a look. I just heard you say that you saw him leave last night"
The security guard, having seen him just go inside and speak with the police, and hearing him mention his occupation habits, guessed that he was probably a policeman or something similar. His level of vigilance decreased, "The manager won't let me say."
Cao Fang smiled, "It's nothing, I won't tell him."
The security guard hesitated for a moment. This matter weighed heavily on his mind, and he was afraid that it would scare him sick. He decided to say it out loud, at least as a way of venting.
"It was around two in the morning when I saw him drive out. But he wasn't driving his usual car."
Cao Fang raised an eyebrow. "You still recognize his car"
The security guard shook his head. "You have to pay parking fees. Vehicles belonging to our residents are registered, so they don't charge a fee. The vehicles charged are definitely from outside."
That's true. Cao Fang has paid parking fees a few times too.
He finished a cigarette, and Cao Fang took out another one from the pack and handed it to him. The security guard lit his cigarette and said, "At the time, I even took a special look and thought to myself, who would go out in the middle of the night I definitely didn't see wrong, it was him."
In a short while, Cao Fang went downstairs with him to the security room to retrieve the surveillance footage. The surveillance cameras at the entrance were high-definition, and the gate was closest to the camera, so the faces were very clear.
Looking at the face that was exactly like the one in the photo on the wall, Cao Fang, even though he had psychological preparation, felt a chill down his spine.
He kept replaying the footage, "How old was he when he found out"so got out of the car, took Huo Mingzheng's arm, and let out a breath, "It's so cold today.""Mr. Huo reminded you that it's cold outside, didn't you come all this way out of suffering" Cao Fang follow...
