Although he couldn't see the row of buttons, Murong Jingjiang thought to himself that he had personally watched Extra Role One press '24' and '30'. Now that the elevator doors had opened, the current floor must be the 24th.
He never expected that after pressing '24' and '30', Extra Role One had secretly pressed '23' as well.
Hearing this, Ma Mingxia furrowed her brows tightly and finally couldn't help but interrupt Qing Kong's reasoning again, her tone filled with shock and confusion. "Are you saying that Murong Jingjiang got off on the 23rd floor?"
Qing Kong replied with a soft "Hmm," then took out a cigarette case from his pocket. With practiced ease, he poured a few colorful fruit hard candies from the case into his hand, tossed one into his mouth, and while chewing, mumbled indistinctly, "The doorplates for all units in that building are uniform. Just before Murong Jingjiang arrived at Baoyin Building, Extra Role Two —a mysterious figure neither you nor Murong Jingjiang has ever seen—had already stealthily replaced all the doorplates on the 23rd floor.
All the '23××' plates were changed to '24××'. The '2408 room' that Murong Jingjiang found was actually just room 2308.
You can send someone to investigate later, and you'll find that room 2308 is also vacant, just like room 2408.
Murong B and others had meticulously arranged room 2308 to look exactly like room 2408. Every detail was crafted to be realistic, from the placement of furniture to the style of decoration, making it nearly indistinguishable.
When Murong Jingjiang entered room 2308, he immediately saw a 'corpse' with its head and body separated, and that 'corpse' was dressed in the clothes of his wife, Qian Qiushui.
In reality, that 'corpse' was merely a well-made puppet.
Upon seeing the 'corpse', Murong Jingjiang was stunned; his face turned pale in an instant, his legs weakened, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
At that moment of sheer terror and confusion, Murong B—who had just cruelly killed Qian Qiushui in room 2408—quietly approached room 2308. He tightly gripped a heavy iron rod in his hand and stealthily crept up behind Murong Jingjiang. With a sudden strike to the back of Murong Jingjiang's head using the heavy object, Murong Jingjiang didn't even have a chance to react before everything went black and he fainted.
Once Murong Jingjiang was unconscious, Murong B quickly sprang into action. He first hurried to lock the door of room 2308 tightly before swiftly hiding in another room.
Every corner of the room was equipped with surveillance cameras installed in advance by Murong B and others. Every move of Murong Jingjiang was under the close watch of Murong B and Wang B.
When they saw through the monitoring footage that Murong Jingjiang was slowly waking up, Wang Sicong's twin brother, Wang B, along with the extra known as Extra Three, made their grand entrance.
Extra Three was a man who looked remarkably similar to you—Ma Mingxia—in both appearance and height. Murong B and the others even hired a professional makeup artist who used advanced techniques to transform Extra Three into someone who looked almost identical to you, with a similarity of at least ninety percent. Thus, we referred to Extra Three as Jia Ma Mingxia.
Upon hearing this, Ma Mingxia's eyes widened in shock, her mouth agape, her face filled with disbelief, while her mind was in turmoil.
However, Qing Kong's reasoning was tight-knit and logical, leaving no room for doubt.
Qing Kong yawned widely and stretched lazily before continuing, "Murong Jingjiang was unconscious for only about fifteen minutes; he should have woken up around 10:45.
Next, Wang B fired three shots at the door lock with his handgun—bang, bang, bang—the loud noise echoed through the silent hallway. Then he kicked the door open alongside Jia Ma Mingxia.
Wang B took out his phone and held it to his ear, pretending to urgently notify the criminal police team to send reinforcements. In reality, he was merely acting out a scene, talking to thin air.
Meanwhile, Jia Ma Mingxia pretended to inspect the interior of the house. He knew very well that Murong B was hiding in one of the rooms, but since they were all in cahoots, he naturally wouldn't reveal that information.
Thus, I just mentioned that Murong Jingjiang was in a Pseudoroom; besides him, there were others in the house—Murong B—who had locked the door from the inside.
Then Wang B escorted Murong Jingjiang outside. On their way, their car suddenly broke down—this was certainly part of Murong B's meticulous plan—and it was around 11 o'clock at that time.
At this point, the first part of the murder mystery orchestrated by Murong B and his associates had been completed. Now it was time for the second part.
In the second part, Murong B and the others aimed to replicate the recent event in its entirety!
