Chapter 259: Standard Closed Room Murder Case

"This place is more real than I imagined."

Walking through the corridors in the headquarters of Truth Company, Baron Coleman looked at the researchers passing by and chatting with different expressions, and sighed again.

"Sure enough, Professor Dot's words are not self-effacing... His development and utilization of [Ancient Notes] is really less than 5%."

Lin Yu was also secretly surprised.

This place is indeed real, so real that it doesn’t feel like you are in Baron Coleman’s memory, but like you have really traveled back to eight years ago!

Some of the researchers who passed by him and the Baron were talking. Just a few words that Lin Yu heard covered various aspects such as gossip, topics, etc., and they had a strong sense of reality.

However, even though these made Lin Yu sigh with emotion, they would not make him change his goal.

soon……

Under Coleman's leadership, he came to the employee accommodation area in the southeast corner of the park.

A large number of Truth Company employees live here - generally only the leadership and retired old scholars can live here.

At the edge of the accommodation area, there is a warehouse-like place.

The warehouse contains a large number of discarded metal parts.

Coleman led him around and around, finally reaching the corner of the warehouse.

"This place is quite remote."

"Of course, it is a 'hidden' laboratory after all, so it can't be displayed there openly."

Coleman sighed, then pulled up the tall shelf in the corner.

"Buzz——"

The metal scraped against the ground, making a tooth-piercing sharp sound, revealing a safety door behind it.

This security door is not completely hidden in the wall and does not reveal any traces.

Instead, it simply put a "This door is abandoned" seal on the door.

Even through the gap in the shelves just now, you could vaguely see a door here.

But Lin Yu had to say...

This camouflage method is much better than hiding the door completely in the wall.

"What a genius idea."

If he saw something like this, he would definitely not think that this door was the entrance to a secret laboratory.

This kind of camouflage takes advantage of human inertial thinking - the principle is just like a person wearing a maintenance uniform who can come and go anywhere at will.

"I investigated the location first and then came to this warehouse, but I almost ignored this door."

Baron Coleman sighed, and then opened the door.

Looking at the abandoned and unswept passage exposed behind the door, Lin Yu thought and then spoke.

"Don't you need to meet up with Punk Duo and the detective?"

They didn't meet those two people along the way.

After all, this place is huge.

"Honestly... I don't know how to find them, so I might as well come here and take a look first."

replied Baron Coleman.

"And if the detective is really smart..."

Baron Coleman didn't say it clearly, but Lin Yu already understood what he meant.

The two people walked into the stairs behind the abandoned door. After turning two turns, they saw a corridor that was suddenly bright and clean.

In the corridor, there is a standing door.

And before that gate...

Fu Luo was squatting there with Punk Duo.

"You two came so slowly," Fu Luo said boredly, "What, are you having a conflict outside?"

Just as Baron Coleman expected...

Fu Luo had already arrived here first.

Without telling Fulo the specific location, Fulo accurately found the specific crime scene in the entire huge park.

Even though he had expected it, Baron Coleman couldn't help but ask after seeing that Fulo had actually done it.

"How did you find this place?"

"Although this park is very big, if you want to fit in a hidden ghost laboratory... there are not many addresses to choose from."

“It only takes a little investigation of the flat map to discover where a piece is ‘missing’ and where the drawing is deliberately irregular.”

"And...you mentioned that the researcher was found in his 'home'."

Fu Luo said calmly and knocked on the metal door: "So, how should I open this door?"

Although it is "consciousness" and "soul" now, [Ancient Notes] faithfully restored everyone's state before entering - Lin Yu checked and found that his various props were still usable.

This of course also includes Will Valletti's ID card.

"Try swiping your card."

He said, taking out the permission card from his arms.

Baron Coleman nodded: "Back then, I used A-level authority to get in smoothly - that was also one of the main evidences for my conviction."

"I don't know if B-level permission is feasible."

Baron Coleman's answer was a crisp "beep" sound.

The metal door opened automatically, and Lin Yu shrugged.

"It seems feasible."

The four of them entered the mysterious "Ghost Laboratory" area and soon came to a door under the leadership of Baron Coleman.

He pushed open the door, revealing a long passage.

Punkduo was a little confused: "Is there another way to this place?"

"To Reed Christopher's Home."

Baron Coleman whispered.

At this time, in addition to Punk Duo, Lin Yu and Fu Luo were vaguely aware of the entire case.

At the end of the passage, Coleman opened the door again...

What they saw was a laboratory that was about the size of a classroom.

They walked out of the hidden back door of the laboratory disguised as a freezer.

The entire laboratory was filled with various instruments, and on the laboratory table in the middle, Reed Christopher fell in a pool of blood with a sharp blade stuck in his back.

This is...

the murder scene eight years ago!

Fu Luo quickly looked around and noticed that in addition to this hidden door, there was only one closed and locked main door in the entire laboratory.

There were no windows, and the grille of the ventilation duct was welded and an alarm was installed.

And this hidden door behind him...

"If I'm not mistaken, the access control at the door showed that only you passed through it afterwards, right?"

Fu Luo asked coldly, and Coleman nodded helplessly.

"Yes, this is one of the important reasons why I am suspected of being the murderer..."

"Whether it is that passage or Reed's home, during Reed's death, only my traces appeared - even, according to the forensic reconstruction, Reed's time of death was even after I entered the passage."

"Because I didn't come to Reed's home for the first time... I wandered in that passage for about fifteen minutes."

"Plus, the knife was also lost by me a few days ago - so although the company did not convict me for the time being, I completely offended Reed's faction. They are very convinced... No, even my friends think that I killed Reed!"

Fu Luo nodded.

"I see, if you are convinced that you are not the murderer, then the current situation..."

"It is a standard closed room murder case."
