As time went on, the bustle of the cafeteria gradually became more substantial, and the number of customers coming and going from the corner also increased from one every half minute to seven or eight every minute.
The guests walking towards the dining area were holding plates full of delicacies with great interest, and those heading towards the dining area were also walking in a hurry, looking forward to it.
"I have three more questions." Shao Zi gestured to the number three. "The first one is the 'sign' your father said - what is that? The second one is your father's letter, which is now in Where. The last one is the so-called relic. What exactly is this relic? Where do you want to put it in the transaction you made? "
As early as when they first entered the hotel booked by Wei Ruowei, they checked the entire room.
Wei Ruowei did not bring any large luggage, not at any time before or after the time.
From a distance, the surveillance video on the corridor when she went out showed that she was not carrying any huge heavy objects such as suitcases with her.
From a closer look, one can still easily remember the empty status of the hotel room, and on the other side to assist the judgment, she is sitting alone at the dining table, with only her small and exquisite name tag placed next to the sofa chair. Bag.
"The content of the sign is very simple." Wei Ruowei also told the truth, "It is a text message sent on the mobile phone. In fact, my brother and sister-in-law, my husband, and even my seventeen-year-old nephew have all received such a text message. Only one The equal sign, the '=' in the punctuation mark. But only my brother and I knew about this. I had my father's letter in my hand, so I replied to that number with the hotel's address and room number, as well as the handover information. Time—that’s what the letter said.”
"What about the letter?"
Wei Ruowei lowered his head, and his expression seemed to have changed: "Actually, according to my father's instructions, I should have opened the letter after the warning, and then completely burned the content of the letter after it was completed. But I didn't do it. I still have the letter - even after his tragic death, I don't think anyone is so omnipotent. I think... he was just deceived."
Wei Gaochi's fear had a certain influence on Wei Ruowei, but not completely. Wei Ruowei has always been an independent, confident and successful woman. Although she has been subtly instilled with fear for many years and is also a little frightened when things actually happen, she still maintains a sense of resistance.
"But you disguised yourself as a recording device in advance." Shao Zi reminded her.
"Yes..." Wei Ruowei whispered, "But this is more because my father's recent state is indeed too suspicious. We have seldom communicated with each other, especially after my daughter entered elementary school, but he recently He often called me because he was concerned about his granddaughter - but he always asked me not to forget what he told me. Although he did not repeat the content again, he once seriously asked me to do it. This is the only thing that happened, and it was only brought up again after more than ten years... Not only that, he also mentioned his own death repeatedly. It was also because of these abnormalities that I opened the letter in advance, wanting to read it. What’s the reason for being so neurotic?”
"You opened the letter and saw the things he asked you to do." Shao Zi watched Wei Ruowei take out something from his bag, "Forgive me for the offense, let me make a guess, wait in the restaurant It should be your own personal behavior, not the content requested in the letter, right? You should have gotten some hints from what you learned about the truth about your father's death."
Wei Gaochi died on the busiest street. Just like Shao Zi's inference, he couldn't have run for the sake of death. He didn't dare to find the police, nor did he dare to close the door and go home. He could only hope that the surging flow of people and the heavy sight of the busy streets would deter the killer.
Unexpectedly, the killer took advantage of the seemingly easiest time to be discovered, relying on the pedestrians crossing the road who were focused on walking and the traffic lights to kill him under the flashing neon lights of the city. At the same time, the killer also took advantage of the passing crowds and even the confusion when he discovered the incident to completely cover up the traces of his crime and departure.
This is experience, and lessons learned.
The murderer needs the experience of covering his tracks and the lesson of not letting himself out of sight of normal people. Although there are many people in this corner, it is not covered by queues of people like the location adjacent to the food pickup area, nor is it as deserted as a hidden corner without surveillance.
Just the right balance of both.
Wei Ruowei paused and continued to take out the envelope.
"That's right." She said with relief, and handed the envelope to Shao Zi's hand. "The content is similar to what I said before. If you want to use it as evidence, please do so. But you can't reveal that it came from me. Going out..."
"Where are the relics?" Shao Zi asked.
Now that the signs and letters have been answered, we come to the most important point, the formal content of the transaction.
Wei Ruowei hesitated and frowned.
"Actually, I don't know how to describe it. After all, I can't figure out what it represents. The relic and the messenger are together. The valuable things inside should not be directly regarded as an objective object..."
Liu Che, who was waiting in the room, finally heard the sound.
He sat cross-legged in the completely empty closet in the middle.
Liu Che had already rummaged through the closet, but there was nothing special left. The sound at the door was quite direct, like the sound of a door being opened directly. The visitor did not confirm whether the closed door was locked or not, nor did he try to use the room card to open the door.
A light on the door that says "Do Not Disturb" will prevent the cleaners from entering; people who go to the wrong door will try to use the key card to open the door; and neither a visitor nor a purely opportunistic thief is likely to do it directly - the guest will Knock on the door and the thief needs to make sure no one is inside.
Anyone who doesn't know the status of the door lock switch is unlikely to do it directly.
Then the person coming could only be his senior brother, Wei Ruowei himself, or... the murderer who was said to be very cruel.
Liu Che thought so.
But he didn't feel much fear, he just held his breath and carefully judged the person's identity in advance from some external factors.
If Shao Zi comes back, he should notify Liu Che in advance. This is his usual habit when partnering with others. This leaves only two options.
The sound of footsteps gradually appeared, slowly approaching where Liu Che was.
The gap in the middle of the closet door is so small that no light can even shine through.
The rhythm and weight of the steps were heard by Liu Che, combined with the texture of the hotel room floor that he had felt before, and the distance between the closet and the center of the aisle. As long as the distance is close enough and the position judgment is clear enough, it is easy to make a judgment result.
The sound of the man's footsteps, wearing sneakers, made Liu Che draw a conclusion.
He listened as the man seemed to walk to the other end of the room and stopped.
Liu Che made a judgment - he would have to wait a while longer.
Even if a person is arrested, it is impossible to convict a "passer-by" without evidence that he did something special. And it is difficult for an interrogation to be effective on a person who has not yet had time to reveal his purpose.
The sound coming from the other end of the room was not loud, and it was even harder to catch it through a wardrobe. Liu Che could only hear the sound of some pages turning.
Pages... pamphlets? Flyers? Book?
Liu Che remembered that there seemed to be a table at the other end of the room. On it were leaflets about the hotel's facilities and brochures about nearby attractions.
