Chapter 161 Electronic Interference Wave

In the Skyline Building, they found some strange clues. There was a note in Chen Ming's office with a combination of numbers and letters on it, which looked like some kind of code. Fu Siyuan took a picture of the note with his camera and prepared to go back and analyze it.

They also discovered some electronic devices that had been interfered with, showing abnormal operating conditions. Zhang Wanqing recorded the sounds of the devices with a recorder and prepared to analyze them later.

During their investigation, something unexpected happened. As Fu Siyuan was taking a photo, his camera suddenly emitted a piercing scream. Then, the entire office's electronic equipment went haywire. Computer screens flashed strange symbols, phones vibrated constantly, and even several lights suddenly exploded, sending debris flying everywhere.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan panicked, but Li Wei quickly pulled them aside to avoid being hit by debris. They realized that this was the "electronic interference wave" at work, and someone was secretly manipulating all this.

"Run!" Li Wei shouted loudly.

The three of them immediately fled the office and came to the corridor of the building. At this time, the electronic equipment in the corridor began to go out of control. The surveillance cameras kept turning and making a piercing noise. The elevator door suddenly closed, trapping some people inside.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan realized that they had to find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise the entire building would be in danger. They decided to act separately. Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei went to search the building's monitoring room, hoping to find clues to the murderer, while Fu Siyuan went to the building's power room to try to cut off the power supply and prevent the spread of the "electronic interference wave."

In the surveillance room, Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei spotted some suspicious footage. The surveillance footage showed a masked figure entering the building the night before Chen Ming's death, holding a strange device that looked like some sort of electronic device. The figure moved cautiously, as if searching for something.

"Could this device be the transmitter of 'electronic interference waves'?" Li Wei guessed.

"It's very likely." Zhang Wanqing nodded and said, "We need to find this person to uncover the truth."

At this moment, the electronic equipment in the monitoring room also began to go out of control. The monitoring screen kept flickering and making a harsh noise. Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei realized that they had to take action quickly, otherwise the situation would get worse.

Meanwhile, Fu Siyuan encountered trouble in the power supply room. When he tried to cut off the power, the electronic equipment in the power supply room suddenly went out of control, and currents ran wildly, sparks flying everywhere. Fu Siyuan was almost electrocuted, and he realized that the power supply room was also disturbed by the "electronic interference wave".

"What should I do?" Fu Siyuan thought anxiously, "I must find a way to cut off the power, otherwise the entire building will be in danger."

Fu Siyuan stood at the door of the Skyline Building's power supply room, feeling a strange sense of nervousness. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open, revealing a dimly lit space filled with the faint smell of motor oil. The walls were covered in a tangled web of wires and switches, like a tangled spiderweb. He raised his flashlight, sweeping the beam across the walls, illuminating the cold metal equipment.

He quickly calmed down and carefully observed the equipment in the power room. Suddenly, he found a strange phenomenon: in a corner of the power room, there was an inconspicuous small box with a note on it. On it was a combination of numbers and letters, exactly the same as the note in Chen Ming's office.

He quickly walked towards the unassuming little box, his mind constantly reminding himself to be careful. The combination of numbers and letters on the note seemed to hold a secret, a secret that might be the key to Chen Ming's death. He carefully tore the note from the box, only to find that the surface was remarkably smooth, with no cracks to open.

"What on earth is this?" Fu Siyuan wondered. He examined the box carefully and suddenly noticed a tiny groove on the bottom. He pressed it lightly with his fingernail, and with a click, the box popped open. Inside was a small chip, flickering with a faint blue light.

At this moment, Fu Siyuan's phone suddenly rang. It was Zhang Wanqing calling. He picked up the phone and heard Zhang Wanqing's voice from the other end: "Fu Siyuan, we found something strange in the monitoring room, come over quickly!"

Fu Siyuan's heart tightened, and he immediately put the chip into his pocket and ran to the monitoring room. Along the way, he kept thinking about the chip in his mind, and he felt vaguely that this might be the key to controlling electronic equipment.

Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei were already waiting at the door of the monitoring room, their faces looking somewhat solemn. Fu Siyuan walked into the monitoring room and saw that the large screen on the wall was constantly playing various monitoring images, but the screens were empty. Zhang Wanqing pointed to a picture in the corner of the screen and said, "Look, this picture."

Fu Siyuan leaned over and saw a blurry figure standing at the door of Chen Ming's office. The figure seemed to hesitate for a moment, then slowly walked into the office. Fu Siyuan was startled; the figure's shape and movements were somewhat similar to Chen Ming's.

"Who is this figure?" Fu Siyuan asked.

"We don't know yet," Zhang Wanqing replied, "but judging from the surveillance footage, he seems to be the murderer."

Li Wei added, "Also, judging from the time he entered the office, it should be the time when Chen Ming died."

Fu Siyuan's heart trembled. He realized that this case might be much more complicated than they had imagined. He took out the chip and handed it to Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei. "Look at this, I found it in the power supply room."

Zhang Wanqing took the chip and examined it carefully: "What is this?"

"I'm not sure yet," Fu Siyuan replied, "but I think it might be related to electronic equipment going out of control."

Li Wei pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Do you remember those people with special abilities that Chen Ming had contact with during his lifetime? Could it be that one of them used special abilities to control electronic equipment and caused this crime?"

Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of foreboding. If this was truly the work of a superpowered being, then they would be facing an unprecedented challenge.

At this moment, the electronic equipment in the monitoring room suddenly lost control again. The images on the screen began to flicker, and various devices made shrill screams. Fu Siyuan's heart tightened. He knew that they had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the situation would become more dangerous.

"Let's split up," Fu Siyuan said. "I'll go find the source of the chip, and you guys continue investigating the surveillance footage to see if you can find more clues."

Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei nodded, and the three of them immediately went their separate ways.
