"Ah! Please stop."
Tian Chunda hurriedly interrupted the boss's narration.
"Was he still covering his face at that time?"
"Of course! I have never seen the guest's true face in Lushan... This morning around five o'clock, he suddenly said he was going to go on the road, so he left my hotel. In short, no matter from which aspect, he They are all strange guests, and the waitress responsible for cleaning the room also found this thing in his room..."
The boss took out a hand towel and showed it to everyone.
Director Yang and Tian Chunta couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw such a thing.
What surprised them was not the hand towel itself, but the sticky, black blood stains on the hand towel...
It seems that this hand towel will be used to wipe the blood-stained hands.
Tian Chunda and Director Yang glanced at each other, and both remembered the masked Zuo Qing who had just returned recently.
But wasn't Zuo Qing surrounded by the Hongli family in that big room from eight to ten last night?
The testimony of the owner of the Park House Inn was very important. Tian Cunda summarized it as follows:
Last night, a man stayed at the Baiwu Hotel, half a mile away from Hong Li's home.
Let us temporarily call this man X. The clues he left are as follows:
1. When X arrived at the Baiwu Hotel, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
2. X doesn’t want anyone to see his appearance.
3. According to the information filled in by
4. At ten o'clock, X said he wanted to visit friends nearby, so he left the hotel.
5. X returned to the Kashiwa House Hotel around twelve o'clock. At this time, he seemed to be very flustered.
6. X checked out early at five o'clock this morning because he suddenly remembered something urgent.
7. The waitress found a blood-stained hand towel in the room where X stayed.
If we compare all the actions of the person named
The first is the time when Zhu Wenwu was killed. According to Zhu Shi's testimony, Zhu Wenwu should have been killed after 11:10. Therefore, X, who left the Baiwu Hotel around 10:00, could easily come to Hong Li's house and kill Zhu Wenwu.
Next is the problem of the boat. The boat was found at Cape Guanyin, a place with red leaves. It only takes five minutes to get to Kashiwaya from there. Therefore, it is possible that We rowed to the lakeside to discard the body, then returned to Guanyin Cape, and returned to Kashiwaya around twelve o'clock.
In other words, there are many places where the time of this X's actions and the murder incident last night are very consistent.
"Captain Tian, every move of this man is very strange. Is he here just to kill Zhu Wenwu?"
"Director Yang, it's too early to make a conclusion now..."
Tian Chunda stared into the distance and said with very deep eyes: "Regardless of whether this person came to kill Zhu Wenwu, at least one thing is certain, that is, this person moved Zhu Wenwu's headless body to the boat, and rowed from here Walk."
"You mean..."
Director Yang looked at Tian Chunda puzzled.
"I still can't figure out why he had to hide the body from the head down, because since the murderer openly put the head of the deceased on the chrysanthemum doll, wouldn't it be pointless to hide the body? Not only is it meaningless, it can even be said to be very dangerous. Therefore, I have been thinking about this issue since just now, and it was not until I heard what the boss of Kashiwaya said that I finally figured it out."
"The reason the murderer did this is..."
"Why would the boss of Kashiwaya be so suspicious of person X? Is it because He soon became suspicious of this person, because the boss of Kashiwaya didn’t want to have anything to do with this kind of thing. It seems that this What about reporting the case to the public security department? Otherwise, how could there be any reason to forget to take away such important evidence?"
"I understand. Captain Tian, are you saying that this X is deliberately trying to divert the attention of the police?"
"Yes. Furthermore, X specially used a boat to carry away the body, and also abandoned the blood-stained boat at Guanyin Cape near Kashiwaya..."
"Are you saying that this man is acting mysteriously to protect someone?"
Tian Chunda nodded silently.
"So, who is he covering?"
"I don't know this. The only thing that is certain is that the person he wants to protect must live in Hong Li's house. Because the purpose of this X's actions is to draw our attention to the outside. He wants to make people misunderstand I thought the murderer was an outsider, so I did this. It shows that the real murderer should be a member of the Hongli family."
"In other words, this X is just an accomplice. And the real murderer is one of the Hong family members, right?"
"Yes."
"But who is this suspicious X? What is his relationship with the Hongli family?"
Tian Chunda scratched his head and said: "This, this is the problem. If we can know who the suspicious X is, it is not difficult to know who the murderer is. But, the director!"
Tian Chunda faced Director Yang and said seriously:
"Do you know what I'm thinking about right now?"
Director Yang looked at Tian Chunda blankly, while Tian Chunda showed a mocking smile.
"At eight o'clock last night, the Hongli family gathered in the back room to obtain Zuo Qing's fingerprints. As a result, they did not collect Zuo Qing's fingerprints, and they were still arguing until ten o'clock. On the other hand, the suspicious X Appeared at the Baiwu Hotel around eight o'clock and stayed at the hotel until ten o'clock. This made it easier for us to handle the case. Otherwise, we would have to investigate the alibi of everyone in the Hongli family one by one to see if anyone pretended to be X and went to the Baiwu Hotel. .”
"Mr. Tian Chunda, so you suspect that the suspicious X is a member of the Hong Li family?"
"Well, but I have already rejected this hypothesis just now. By the way, when The reason why you see your own face is because your face is severely damaged, that is, like Zuo Qing, otherwise you are afraid that others will recognize you."
"Yes! So that person may also live in Hong Li's house. After all, everyone knows people from Hong Li's house!"
