"Our company is in the south of the city, you know Yourun Building, right? Floors 10 to 14 are all our company."

"After entering the building, I took the elevator up. In the elevator, I specifically looked at the time, it was...it was 12:15. I remember it very clearly."

"The elevator stopped on the 10th floor. My workstation is on the 10th floor. It's a very large, open office area. The door was open, and only one lamp was lit inside, not...not the ceiling lights, it was a desk lamp, a very small desk lamp, and it was relatively dark all around."

"The location with that desk lamp lit is my workstation." Wang Jie introduced, "With the light from the desk lamp, I saw that my desk was very messy. When I got closer, I found that some of the documents and things that were originally on the table had been thrown on the floor, as if someone had rummaged through them."

"I was furious at the time and immediately wanted to find my colleague to ask him what he meant. Even if he was in a hurry, he couldn't just rummage through other people's things."

"And...and who would leave a seal out in the open like that? It would definitely be locked in a drawer."

"But I couldn't find my colleague, not...not that I couldn't find him, there was just no one in the entire office area."

"I asked a few times, but it was very quiet nearby." Speaking of this, Wang Jie suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng with a strange expression, and said in a low voice, "Can you understand that feeling? It's very dark all around, and in the shadows...in the shadows, there's something lurking. It's a very familiar place, but at that moment, I just felt alienated, an indescribable alienation..."

Wang Jie's voice became smaller and smaller, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"Ms. Wang, didn't you think about turning on the lights?" Xia Qiang asked in a calm voice, trying not to agitate her.

"Turn on the lights..." Wang Jie paused, then immediately looked at Xia Qiang, her lips trembling, and said, "Of course I thought about it, but it didn't work! The light...the light was broken, no, it should be the switch, or...or there was a problem with the wiring..."

Worried that Wang Jie would not be able to withstand the pressure and collapse, Jiang Cheng reached out and grabbed Wang Jie's trembling hand, comforting her, "Ms. Wang, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Looking at Jiang Cheng's calm face, Wang Jie's emotions actually slowly calmed down, and she continued, "Just when I was wondering whether to leave immediately, suddenly, a flash of lightning lit up outside."

"Only then did I notice that it was raining outside, and the rain was heavy. The office area has large floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can see outside, but the rain curtain blocked everything."

"It was with the light of that lightning flash that I noticed the aisle not far from my workstation."

"The floor of the aisle was very messy. Several trash cans were knocked over on the ground, and the garbage inside rolled all over the place, as well as some documents and papers. Oh, and an office chair was also lying on the ground, as if someone had just run along this road, knocking it over in a panic."

"My first reaction was that the colleague who called me should be the one!"

"I didn't know what was going on, but I was worried about him, so I took out my phone, found his call, and then called him back."

"The call went through, but no one answered. I heard a faint ringing of a mobile phone in the distance. I couldn't hear it clearly, but it should have been a ringtone."

"I turned on my phone's flashlight and looked for the direction of the ringtone. I came all the way to the corridor. The ringtone...the ringtone was coming from the end of the corridor, near the emergency exit. I turned a corner, right in front of the iron door of the emergency exit." Speaking of this, Wang Jie's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her pupils trembled. "A person, a person was lying in front of the iron door! There was blood everywhere nearby, on the walls, on the ceiling, and on the emergency door, all dripping with blood. That person...that person seemed to have split open, split open from the middle!" Wang Jie gripped Jiang Cheng's hand tightly, her nails digging into his flesh, obviously recalling that scene was too much of a shock for her.

Jiang Cheng did not struggle, but instead reached out his other hand and covered Wang Jie's hand, softly comforting her, "Ms. Wang, don't worry, I'm here."

"You called the police, right?" Jiang Cheng looked into her eyes and asked softly.

"Yes...I was so scared at the time. I sat paralyzed on the ground for a few minutes before I remembered to call the police. The police came very quickly, very quickly." Wang Jie gasped for breath.

Jiang Cheng looked at her with a rather regretful expression, half questioning and half declining, "Ms. Wang, as far as we can see, you encountered a normal murder case. Perhaps the murderer's methods are more cruel, but...you should know what we do. We don't handle cases like this..."

"It's not normal!" Wang Jie said excitedly, "This is definitely not a normal murder case!"

Jiang Cheng was just retreating to advance, and now seeing Wang Jie's performance, he took the opportunity to ask, "Where do you think it's not normal?"

"The person who died was not my colleague!" Wang Jie said loudly, "I don't know him at all!"

"Then who is he?"

That sentence seemed to have used up all of Wang Jie's strength. She slowly shook her head, "I don't know, I've never seen him before. I asked the company's personnel, and they said they've never seen him either. This person is not an employee of our company."

"But you said you received a call before coming over." Xia Qiang interjected.

"I...I really received a call. That's what I told the police too, but when I opened my phone, it was gone, everything was gone. My call history was deleted..." Wang Jie looked blank, as if she had not yet emerged from this matter.

"Was all the call history deleted, or just with this so-called colleague?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Just...only the calls with him are gone." Wang Jie shook her head in pain, "The police didn't believe me, no matter how I explained, they didn't believe me. They suspected I was hiding something from them, suspected the case was related to me, and even took me to do a urine test, suspecting that I had taken those things."

"Your phone didn't leave any traces, what about that person's phone?" Jiang Cheng remembered that Wang Jie mentioned that she found the body by following the phone's ringing.

"That person didn't have a phone on him at all." Wang Jie's face was full of despair.

"Ms. Wang, did you just leave the police station?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"I explained all night, and also recorded a statement. They only let me leave at dawn. I...I really don't know who else can help me. A friend introduced me, saying that you specialize in dealing with things like this." Wang Jie looked at Jiang Cheng and said in an almost pleading tone, "Can you...can you help me?"

Jiang Cheng pretended to direct Fatty to take a notebook from the desk, and then wrote and drew on it. He nodded slightly to Wang Jie and said, "Ms. Wang, we have a general understanding of the situation. Now we will start to investigate. Please also notify us in a timely manner if you have any news, this is very important."

Hearing that these people were willing to help, Wang Jie's expression improved a lot, "Okay, okay, I will, thank you, regarding the fees..."

"No discounts." Jiang Cheng said confidently.
