I was a rookie reporter in the 00s
Chapter 160: Supernatural Mystery
As night fell, the city's neon lights began to flicker, and the streets were bustling with traffic and people. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan sat in the newspaper office, with an anonymous letter they had just received spread out before them.
The letter mentioned that a bizarre case had recently occurred in the "Skyline Building" in the city center. The victim was a young programmer named Chen Ming, who was found dead in his office with unknown cause of death.
Zhang Wanqing frowned. As an experienced investigative reporter, her intuition told her that there must be a dark secret behind this case. Fu Siyuan, skilled at capturing details, picked up his camera, ready to record every detail of the case.
"Wanqing, do you think this letter is reliable?" Fu Siyuan asked.
Zhang Wanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Although the letter is anonymous, I think it's worth checking. The Skyline Building is one of the tallest buildings in the city, and Chen Ming is a core employee there. If a crime really happened, it would definitely cause a sensation."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Fu Siyuan said excitedly, "Let's go to the Sky Building and find out!"
The two immediately set off and drove to the Skyline Building. Upon arrival, they found that the police had cordoned off the crime scene. Zhang Wanqing presented her press credentials and explained her purpose to the police. A young police officer met them and told them that the case was under investigation and that they could not disclose too much information at this time.
"We just want to understand the situation. After all, this is an incident of public concern." Zhang Wanqing said with a smile.
The young police officer hesitated for a moment, but eventually revealed some information: "Chen Ming was found in his office, sitting in front of his computer with a terrified expression. Our preliminary assessment is that he may have died of a heart attack, but the specific circumstances require further investigation."
"Heart attack?" Fu Siyuan asked doubtfully, "Chen Ming looks so young, how could he suddenly have a heart attack?"
"We think so too," the young policeman said helplessly, "but we can't come to a conclusion yet."
Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan thanked the police and began to investigate around the building. They found Chen Ming's colleagues and friends, trying to understand his circumstances. After some inquiries, they learned that Chen Ming had been working overtime and was under a lot of pressure, and that he had recently noticed some strange phenomena.
"What strange phenomenon?" Zhang Wanqing asked.
A colleague of Chen Ming said: "He has been complaining recently about strange symbols suddenly appearing on his computer, like some kind of password. He also said his phone would heat up for no reason and once nearly caught fire."
"This is truly bizarre," Fu Siyuan exclaimed. "Could these phenomena be related to Chen Ming's death?"
"It's very likely." Zhang Wanqing nodded and said, "We need to investigate further."
Just then, Zhang Wanqing's cell phone rang. It was Li Wei, an old friend of Zhang Wanqing and a former police officer. Although he had left the police force, his insight was still sharp.
"Wanqing, I heard that you are investigating the case of Sky Building?" Li Wei said on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, do you have any clues?" Zhang Wanqing asked.
"I heard that Chen Ming had come into contact with some unknown people with special abilities during his lifetime. They had special abilities and could control electronic equipment," said Li Wei.
"A person with superpowers?" Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
"Yes, I have a friend who is one of them. He is willing to meet with you and may be able to provide some useful information." Li Wei said.
Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan immediately agreed, and the three of them arranged to meet at a cafe, where Li Wei's friend, a psychic named Zhao Qiang, recounted his experiences.
"I have indeed met Chen Ming. He once asked me for help, saying that his computer and phone were behaving strangely and that he suspected someone was controlling them with supernatural powers," Zhao Qiang said. "I checked for him and found that his devices were indeed being interfered with by a special energy."
"What is this energy?" Fu Siyuan asked curiously.
"It's a type of energy called 'electronic interference wave,' which can disrupt the normal operation of electronic equipment," Zhao Qiang explained. "However, this type of energy is extremely rare, and only a few people with special abilities can control it."
"So, Chen Ming's death may be related to this energy?" Zhang Wanqing pondered.
"It's very likely." Zhao Qiang nodded and said, "If Chen Ming's computer and mobile phone were interfered with by this energy, then his death could have been a deliberate murder."
Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan exchanged a glance, realizing that the investigation into this case had only just begun. They decided to continue their investigation and uncover the truth behind Chen Ming's death.
Over the next few days, Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan traveled extensively, interviewing numerous individuals with special abilities and Chen Ming's family and friends. They discovered that Chen Ming had indeed come into contact with individuals with special abilities, and that he appeared to be investigating a special ability called "electronic interference waves." This ability could manipulate electronic devices and even affect the human body, causing serious consequences like heart attacks.
"Could it be that Chen Ming was murdered because he discovered the secret of this supernatural power?" Fu Siyuan guessed.
"It's very likely." Zhang Wanqing nodded and said, "We need to find the person who controls this ability before we can uncover the truth."
At this moment, Zhang Wanqing received a mysterious phone call. The person on the other end of the phone claimed to be the controller of the "electronic interference wave". He told Zhang Wanqing that Chen Ming's death was indeed related to him, but he was not the murderer, but the victim.
"What?" Zhang Wanqing said in shock, "You're not the murderer?"
"That's right, I was also used by someone." The mysterious man said, "Chen Ming discovered my secret. I wanted to warn him, but he mistakenly thought I was the murderer, and ended up being killed by the real murderer."
"Then who is the real murderer?" Zhang Wanqing asked.
"I don't know either, but I can tell you that the murderer is in the Skyline Building." The mysterious man said, "He has been secretly controlling everything."
The call was suddenly disconnected. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and uneasiness. They realized that this case was much more complicated than they had imagined, and danger was approaching them.
To uncover the truth, Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan decide to head to the Skyline Building again to search for the mysterious murderer. They bring recorders, cameras, and other equipment, ready to record every detail. Li Wei also joins their investigation, using his police insight to help them analyze the clues.
