Zhang Li was a local from Hangzhou who, after graduating, joined Rhein Tower as an accountant.
She was also known as one of the most beautiful women in the company, not only stunning but also possessing an elegant demeanor.
Dressed in professional attire, she always stood out in a crowd.
Whenever she passed by, her male colleagues couldn't help but steal a few glances at her.
With her combination of beauty and grace, she could easily be considered a nine out of ten.
But why would someone so perfect attract such a brutal fate?
Sun Feng decided to start by checking the surveillance footage from Rhein Tower.
Strangely, aside from the entrance camera, all other key parts of the surveillance had been deliberately damaged.
The only footage available showed that Zhang Li entered the building at 17:05:30 that day.
Sun Feng speculated that the first crime scene was likely within the building itself.
This was because the body was discovered in an adjacent abandoned building.
There was a corridor about 600 meters long connecting Rhein Tower to the derelict structure next door.
The killer wouldn't have had much time to lure her to the abandoned building and commit the crime there.
First, the distance was too great, and the time too long;
Second, the risk was far too high.
On one hand, Sun Feng requested professional technicians to repair the surveillance equipment.
On the other hand, he decided to cast a wide net and personally questioned people one by one near the building.
Although it was a lot of work, it was currently the only "foolproof method."
However, the locals unanimously stated that they hadn't noticed any suspicious individuals around the building during the Spring Festival.
Sun Feng was at a loss.
Zhang Li had no enemies, no lovers; perhaps it was someone familiar who committed the crime?
He immediately began questioning the employees at Zhang Li's company, and indeed, new discoveries emerged.
The employees revealed that on the fourth day of the New Year, only one person had entered the building.
That person was the mover, Lao Liu.
Lao Liu was quite old, around fifty years old, and had been with the company for a long time.
He was also a relative of the boss, and he often took advantage of this relationship to harass young girls.
He would either stare at them with lewd eyes or take the opportunity to touch them inappropriately.
Due to his connection with the boss, the girls dared not voice their anger.
Behind his back, he was very much disliked by his female colleagues.
It was said that at the end of the year, Zhang Li reported Lao Liu to the boss.
She claimed that Lao Liu had been peeping at her in the restroom. After scolding Lao Liu, the boss let the matter drop.
Could it be that Lao Liu harbored resentment towards Zhang Meili and killed her?
Sun Feng immediately summoned Lao Liu and subjected him to a rigorous interrogation.
Lao Liu insisted that he was not the murderer, claiming that on the fourth day of the month, he had only gone to the storage room to retrieve his belongings before returning to his hometown.
Sun Feng noticed the train ticket in Lao Liu's hand, which indicated a departure time of 2:00 PM on the fourth day.
After confirming with the staff at the train station, it was verified that he indeed took a train back to his hometown in Shanxi.
This meant that after 2:00 PM, Lao Liu was no longer in the building.
Surveillance footage showed that Zhang Meili entered the building after 5:00 PM, which did not match up with Lao Liu's timeline.
Sun Feng once again meticulously questioned Lao Liu's family and confirmed that he was indeed in his hometown on the fourth day.
Despite having a motive for murder, Lao Liu was ruled out as a suspect.
So who could the real murderer be?
He had no choice but to start analyzing the case anew.
In the security room, he noticed something strange.
The flashlight in the drawer of the security room was missing.
Aside from that, everything else seemed normal; there were no other items missing or damaged.
This might be the only clue left by the murderer.
If this security room was considered the first crime scene, then that was highly unusual!
The police easily found several shoe prints on the floor of the security room.
Several fingerprints were found on the doorknob.
However, there were no signs of struggle or scuffling in the security room, which was quite unusual!
Sun Feng and his team summarized several key pieces of information:
1. The murderer wore size 40 shoes and was relatively tall, likely around 180 centimeters;
2. Based on the shoe prints, the build should be on the slimmer side;
3. From the style of the shoes, he is probably quite young, around his twenties;
4. It can be confirmed that he acted alone, without any accomplices.
There were too many people who fit these criteria.
How could they possibly find him among the vast crowd?
Why was it specifically the flashlight that was missing?
At that moment, a statement from one of the building's employees became crucial.
