Chapter 381 - Mysterious dead man (1/2)

”Jianyu, what are we missing?”

He exhaled loudly, ”Start from the beginning and line up the sequence of incidents. Maybe we could get our answers.”

She cocked her head and stared blankly while recalling everything, ”Article publish…. Location tracked to Feng Corporation…. Security breach..... Vigilance system tampered…. Mr. Feng's computer and ID used....”

She paused.

Her head instantly snapped at Feng Jianyu as she looked at him with eyes as big as moon....

”MURDER”

”MURDER”

Both spoke in unison.

Moreover, isn't Rong Xiang said that the ID was missing and they don't know his name yet. Why would a security guard stroll around without ID? And even if they assume that the ID was stolen by the culprit, they checked earlier that none of the employees accessed the unauthorized zone.

”Let's go.”

Instantly they left for the crime scene.

In the elevator, Xiu Mei saw Feng Jianyu scanning his thumbprint before he pressed the button 'G' for the ground floor. She saw there's another option for ID scanning.

”Where's your ID?” Suddenly she asked, ”Why you and your brothers use a thumbprint to access the elevator? Why Rong Xiang had to use the digital ID to access it?”

”Because ID cards are only for employees while we have thumbprint facility.  In case of any unwanted situation, my brothers and father have their own individual passwords.”

”Is this applicable to your office also?”

”Yes, but we had never share passwords with anyone not even between brothers. However, I know Junjie's password and used it once.” A smile crawled upon his lips. Suddenly he was remembered about the time when Xiu Mei planned a surprise date for him in the castle and had sent a tuxedo for him in Junjie's office.

”Does anyone know Mr. Feng's password?”

”No” frowning he turned to face her, ”You're thinking it right, father's room was accessed using his password.”

”Yes… That's the only way by which the culprit could use his computer. Getting a thumbprint is not possible.”

Xiu Mei suddenly went quite.

'Other than Mr. Feng, who else might know his password?' she pondered.

The answer was at the tip of her tongue but she didn't want to say it in front of Feng Jianyu. At least not until her doubt was confirmed.

Unknown to her even Feng Jianyu was thinking the same but he too kept the thought to himself.

*****

By the time Feng Jianyu and Xiu Mei reach there, the police had already begun with their investigation. A temporary barrier with yellow tape was created around the chamber with police and crime scene written on it.

Holding the flashlight in hand, few of the police officers were scanning the nearby area for any piece of evidence or footmark if left by the murderer.

Just as Xiu Mei reached the near the chamber and peeped down through the barricade. From her angle she didn't see anything but her nose scrunched, she reflexively pulled back and retched once.
