"Sergeant, if you keep saying good things, you will suffer losses right in front of you."
"Stop talking useless words."
"Let's get down to business. Is there anything going on with Wyatt?"
"Not so fast, Master."
"We can be proactive and call him."
Wang Dengming shook his head. Outside the office, Satsuma ran in and said, "Sheriff, something happened at the Dodge Hotel."
"What's up?"
"A reporter, dead."
"reporter?"
"Yes, she is still a female reporter."
"Female reporter? Let's go and have a look."
Ten minutes later, in the back building of the Dodge Hotel, a female body was lying on the cement floor. Achillo and Garcia have arrived first.
"Achiro, what's going on?"
"Chief, she fell from the eighth floor. It doesn't look like a homicide, but a suicide?"
"suicide?"
"This is the ID found in our room."
Wang Dengming took the certificate and saw that it looked very familiar. He walked to the body, uncovered the white cloth, and cursed, "Damn it, how could it be her?"
This female reporter is the reporter who interviewed him and Jones Medi twice. Her name is Rimi.
When she fell down, Wang Dengming, who was wearing glasses, took the glasses that Satsuma handed over and they were already in pieces.
"She fell and died instantly."
Wang Dengming asked: "Has Kadinglei arrived?"
"He'll be there in a moment."
The death of Rimi was a bit scary. Wang Dengming checked the scene on the ground, went to the eighth floor, and came to the door of the room she opened last night. When Wang Dengming came up, Senxi was in front of the door. The room number was 8011. .
"Chief, this is incredible. How could she choose to jump in our hotel?"
"Do you think she committed suicide?"
Sensi said: "Sorry, maybe I shouldn't say that, but that's what the police in your police station said. Chief, what do you think?"
Wang Dengming replied: "This is a very strange suicide case."
After he finished speaking, he walked into the room.
This is a single room, a single room, decorated very high-end. There are no signs of struggle, blood stains, notes, etc. or suspicious objects in the room.
There was no evidence that anyone else had been there in the drawers or on the bed.
The hotel's surveillance was on 24 hours a day. From the moment Satomi entered the room, in the surveillance video, she was the only one going in and out, and no one else went in.
After collecting all the information, asking the hotel receptionist, sealing off the room where the incident occurred, and disposing of the body of the deceased, Wang Dengming and others returned to the police station.
Right in his office.
"Tell me what you think of this case."
Satsuma said: "From the scene, it is initially suspected to be suicide."
Garcia: "I think so too. It's suspected of suicide."
Akiro said: "That's true on the surface, but it's strange. Why did she commit suicide in our town?"
Tu Tianbu came in from the outside and said, "Boss, we have contacted that newspaper company." Tu Tianbu handed over a mobile phone.
Wang Dengming took the phone and put it to his ear.
"Is it Sheriff Wang?"
"Yes you are?"
"I am the president of the Pioneer Times newspaper, and I am Bulan."
The two talked for a while. Wang Dengming put down the phone and said to Satsuma: "Detective, let's go to the newspaper office."
The headquarters of the Pioneer Times newspaper is in the city of Polson. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them met the scholar-like president in Pu Lan's office.
"It's impossible to commit suicide. Satomi is an optimistic, hard-working reporter who gets along well with colleagues. It's impossible. We have lost an outstanding and dedicated employee."
The president said this as soon as they met.
The following inquiries were nothing more than Satomi's family situation, financial situation, friendships, neighborhood disputes, recent developments, etc. The president's answers were very detailed. From the president's words, Satomi had no reason to commit suicide.
Wang Dengming went to Rimei's home again to investigate. Rimei had two children, the older one was seven years old and the younger was three years old. Her husband was a gentle software engineer. The family had lived a very happy life. When he heard that his wife had died, Rimi's The husband almost collapsed and burst into tears.
The two returned to the town at noon the next day.
After entering the town, Wang Dengming went directly to Senxi Hotel without going to the police station, and came to Rimi's room again.
"Sergeant, there really isn't anything suspicious in this room."
"Is the fingerprint recognition done?"
"It came out. The results from the county are that apart from Satomi's fingerprints, there are also the fingerprints of two waitresses, and there are no other fingerprints in the hotel."
"Call them again."
Satsuma quickly called someone over, and it was in room 8011.
These two waiters were both locals, both over 40 years old. They came in during the hotel recruitment. One of them, Wang Dengming also knew, was called Kamei, the wife of a cake chef in the town.
Kamei and another waiter were asked seven or eight questions by Wang Dengming before they were allowed to leave.
Satsuma was listening on the side. After the two waiters left, Satsuma said: "Sheriff, they don't seem to be able to provide any good evidence."
"Have you seen the rooftop?"
"Look, there's nothing special about it."
Wang Dengming walked to the window, opened the tilt-up window, stretched out his head, and looked for a while. He found a few tiny grains of sand in the grooves of the glass track of the window.
Satsuma said: "Chief, this may have been blown in by the wind."
"No, it's not like that. Let's go and have a look at the top floor."
The two went upstairs again. Wang Dengming searched carefully on the cement wall directly above room 8011, not missing an inch.
Finally, a very fine fiber was found, pinched in a hair-like slit. He carefully picked out the fiber with pliers and put it into the evidence bag.
"Satsuma, go to the county immediately and find out what kind of fiber this is."
"Okay, Sheriff, I'll go right away."
"Go ahead and come back as soon as possible."
The next morning, Satsuma came back, and the result of the inspection was: this was a fiber that had fallen off a nylon rope, and the end of the fiber was very new. In other words, within a week, the fiber's nylon rope had The wall had been rubbed, leaving such a small fiber.
Wang Dengming became more energetic. He walked into Room 8011 for the third time and searched with a magnifying glass. On the wall outside the window of Room 8011, he found an extremely vague tread mark. It was a pity that no footprints were found.
This was an extremely important discovery, and he immediately asked Sensi to call for monitoring.
Who knew that the ninth floor of the hotel is where Sensi's office, conference room, etc. are located, and the tenth floor is the staff dormitory and utility room, and there is no surveillance video installed.
In other words, no one knows who used the nylon rope from the top of the tenth floor to Satomi's room.
In the police station, Wang Dengming slammed his police hat on the desk.
Garcia: "Chief, it is now certain that Satomi was thrown from the eighth floor."
Satsuma: "Thanks to the carefulness of the police chief, we were almost deceived by the murderer."
Aqiro: "The question is, who wanted to kill a female reporter? Her financial assets were not missing, and according to Kadinre's autopsy report, she was not physically assaulted."
Tu Tianbu asked: "What is the purpose of Rimi coming to town this time, and who is she interviewing?"
Satsuma said: "She came to interview Sensi. She heard that Sensi sponsored our police station, so she came to interview."
After some discussion, Wang Dengming concluded: "From now on, investigate the streets adjacent to the Dodge Hotel, as well as all available surveillance cameras. Everyone in the hotel, including the guests staying that day, must investigate and do their work. Guys, we can't have innocent people dying in our town."
