After Zhao Wenbo returned to the Public Security Department, he did not immediately act according to Shen Xing's plan. Instead, he locked himself in the office and took a deep sleep on the sofa.
In the past few days, he and Li Naijing had been running around while working on the case. Just now, they could fall asleep with their buttocks stuck out on the ground. You can imagine how tired he was.
However, he only slept for less than three hours. Around nine o'clock in the evening, the ringing of his cell phone woke him up from a deep sleep.
She answered the phone in a daze, and Li Naijing's voice came over there.
Li Naijing must also have just woken up, and her voice was a bit lazily, as if she didn't have enough energy.
"I just received a notification from Xiong Wei of the Criminal Division, saying that another bizarre murder occurred in Room 304 of Jiaoyang Hotel..."
Zhao Wenbo slowly began to wake up, and after his mind began to function normally, he finally listened to Li Naijing's words.
He slowly sat up from the sofa, yawned heavily, and said, "I'll go take a look."
Li Naijing must have had enough sleep, so she said, "I'll go over from home, and we'll meet at the Jiaoyang Hotel."
The two arrived at the Jiaoyang Hotel in the south of the city almost half an hour later. The location of the Jiaoyang Hotel used to be the urban-rural fringe area. Most of the buildings were later demolished after reconstruction. Currently, many places are still undergoing large-scale demolition and construction.
There are usually a lot of people here, there are many idle people in the society, and several security cases often occur in a day.
Jiaoyang Hotel is a privately built building with three floors. After being renovated, a business license was obtained and the hotel opened.
At present, the outside of the hotel has been completely sealed off by the Sheriff. All the original guests inside are staying in their rooms and cannot come out for the time being. They are being questioned one by one by the Sheriff and their identity information is checked.
Zhao Wenbo and Li Naijing entered Room 304 respectively.
I saw Xiong Wei and his partner, a female police officer Lu Huanhuan, in the room, along with a forensic doctor.
This forensic doctor is not Wang Jingzhong, but the apprentice brought out by Wang Jingzhong. At this moment, he is wearing a mask and gloves and is putting a broken and slightly swollen foot into a large transparent plastic bag.
Li Naijing frowned and walked into the room cautiously, placing her feet in leather boots on a clean spot on the ground as much as possible.
If you look carefully at the floor in this room, you can occasionally see a few blood stains, but more blood stains are sprinkled on the wall, and there are splashes everywhere. It looks like there has been a massacre in the room.
But what is surprising is that the white sheets on the two beds in this standard room are not stained by a drop of blood, forming a strong contrast with the large amount of blood on the walls.
After seeing the two special operators arriving, Xiong Wei and Lu Huanhuan walked over. Xiong Wei said: "There were no corpses at the scene, only these two broken feet."
Zhao Wenbo and Li Naijing followed the direction of his finger and looked at the transparent plastic bag placed aside by the forensic doctor. They saw that in addition to the foot that had just been put in, there was also a severed foot that had already been put in.
That was just the left foot, this is just the right foot.
Both feet were broken at the ankles, and the wounds were rugged, as if they had been broken abruptly, not a neat incision.
"Have you found any other parts of the body?" Li Naijing asked.
"No, I just searched them all." Xiong Wei shook his head.
"This is the first scene of the crime?" Zhao Wenbo asked in surprise.
Lu Huanhuan shrugged and nodded: "Analysis of the blood on the wall should be the first scene, but there are many places that do not match the appearance of the scene, so this case is very bizarre."
This woman was the female police officer who took notes with a voice recorder in Shen Xing's room when she and Xiong Wei were investigating the murder of Lin Wanru last time.
"Who reported the case after discovering it?" Li Naijing asked again.
"The hotel's cleaning aunt." Lu Huanhuan said: "This cleaning aunt is the aunt of the hotel owner. She said that she happened to pass by the corridor around 6:30 in the afternoon and heard the sound of fighting coming from room 302. Someone wanted to scream. She screamed, but was silenced by something. Then she started knocking on the door and asking what was going on."
"Is the door opened?"
"No." Lu Huanhuan shook his head. "On the contrary, it suddenly became very quiet inside. A man's voice answered the cleaning aunt, saying that nothing happened and he was just watching TV. The cleaning aunt didn't feel like it, so she must let this man open the door, otherwise She would call the sheriff. Then there would be no movement inside."
Xiong Wei took over and said: "The housekeeper did have a key, but she didn't dare to open the door alone, so she went down and called the hotel owner who was guarding the cashier, and they went upstairs together. Then the hotel owner knocked on the door and shouted, There was no answer inside, but someone could be heard walking around, and the footsteps were very heavy. They called for a while, and could only hear someone leaving the room, but no one answered them yet. So there was no way for these two people to open the door directly with the key..."
Having said this, Xiong Wei took two steps back and pointed at the door of the room. "This place was originally covered with an entrance blanket, which we just took away as evidence. At that time, the hotel owner could still open the door before opening the door. Hearing the footsteps, he walked to the door, but when the door opened, he saw only a pair of broken legs standing on the blanket, and nothing else."
"In other words, the footsteps they heard outside the door were always caused by the broken legs walking on their own?" Zhao Wenbo said, touching his bare chin.
Xiong Wei and Lu Huanhuan spread their hands and made the same movements, which meant that they couldn't explain it.
Zhao Wenbo and Li Naijing looked at each other. Now it seems that this case has a clear tendency to be classified as a special case. If you want to prove otherwise, you have to use the elimination method.
"How many residents are there in the building?" Li Naijing asked.
Lu Huanhuan said: "There are still six people living in the rooms. They were questioned just now and no suspicion was found. These people are now ready to check out and leave."
"Don't let them go yet, let's go take a look again." Li Naijing said.
Xiong Wei immediately made a call, and the police officer below received the news and temporarily blocked the road leaving the hotel.
Li Naijing, Zhao Wenbo, Xiong Wei and Lu Huanhuan first started from the third floor and started asking room by room.
There are no guest rooms on the first floor of the hotel. There are two guests on the third floor. One is a family of three visiting relatives. After asking, it is normal.
The other family is a father and son. The old man is old and somewhat deaf. The son seems to be very filial and patiently cooperates with the Sheriff in handling the case. There is nothing unusual either.
After arriving on the second floor, there are four households on this floor.
Room 202 was occupied by a couple with no children. It was said that these two people had been staying in the hotel here for a month.
After entering Room 202, Li Naijing and Zhao Wenbo smelled a strange smell at the same time. When they looked into the bathroom, they found that there was a small electric stove. The small pot on the electric stove was steaming out, and something seemed to be cooking inside.
Because they have been living here for a long time, the couple seems to have used this place as a rental house. They opened the pot lid and found that kidneys were cooking inside, and they also added a three-piece set of onions, ginger and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell.
However, after hearing that a murder occurred above, the couple obviously couldn't sit still and wanted to check out and move out.
Zhao Wenbo squatted next to the electric stove and inspected it carefully to make sure it was not a human waist.
At this time, Li Naijing had already looked around the house. The couple's lives seemed normal, and they were very cooperative with the Sheriff's investigation.
The four people walked out of the room and were about to continue to the next room to check. Zhao Wenbo was slightly stunned. After having several case handling experiences with Shen Xing, he now began to pay attention to details and his imagination became increasingly rich.
When he came out just now, he saw a newspaper sitting under the buttocks of the male of the two couples.
"Wait a minute." Zhao Wenbo turned around and walked into Room 202 again.
He came to the slightly fat male host and said, "Trouble, sir, show me the newspaper you are sitting on."
The male host was a little surprised, but he did not stand up, but moved his butt to the side of the bed. Zhao Wenbo picked up the newspaper.
The first time I looked at the newspaper, I saw a large blank page in front of me.
