Chen Feng and Steward He arrived late, and the two stood outside the cordon, their faces solemn.

Chang An approached, squatted down in front of the corpse, and looked left and right carefully.

During this interval, Zhou Changqing asked the victim's family a few questions as usual: "Before the incident, where was the deceased? Is there anything unusual about the deceased recently?"

Chen Feng looked at Wu Xi, who was already dead, obviously he couldn't accept this reality yet, and the whole person was stunned and didn't say anything.

Steward He glanced at Chen Feng, then sighed, and replied one by one: "Young Grandma was supposed to rest in the lounge, but recently she has been the same as usual, and she has not behaved abnormally. ”

"Did the deceased quarrel with anyone during his lifetime?"

"Quarrel? Grandma Young is very good, and rarely quarrels with others..."Steward He thought for a moment: "Oh, by the way, this morning, about eight o'clock, I went to confirm today's wedding process with the hotel manager."

When I passed through the lobby, I seemed to see the young grandmother talking with a man in the corridor, and the content was not real, but I could see that her face was not very good, and she looked angry, she should have quarreled with that man. ”

"Do you know that man?"

Steward He shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

Zhou Changqing's eyes flickered, and he ordered in an orderly manner: "Xiao Yang and Xiao Xu, you two stay and watch the scene."

Xiao Zhao, you go and check the hotel's surveillance to see if you can find some clues from that man. The rest of the people went to the lounge with me. ”

Chang An followed Zhou Changqing into the lounge, and as soon as he stepped in, his eyes glanced around, the lounge was very clean and tidy, and the only thing that didn't fit in was the fragments of the vase by the window.

She moved closer and stood in front of the window for a moment, some images of Wu Xi's death flashed in her mind.

Of course, Chang An is not a murderer, she just integrates the clues she sees and deduces the situation when the deceased was killed.

Zhou Changqing stood beside her, a wisp of gray smoke lit between his fingers. The faint smell of tobacco wafted into Chang An's nostrils, making her suddenly come back to her senses.

"How's it going?"

Zhou Changqing's voice sounded in her ears, and she paused for a moment before speaking: "This should be the scene of the first crime." ”

"But we searched around, and we didn't find any suspicious clues. ”

"Look here. Chang An pointed to one place and said.

Zhou Changqing looked in the direction she was pointing and found that there were messy fingerprints somewhere on the window, "This is?"

"It should have been left by the deceased, this height is almost ten centimeters more than the deceased's height, and she is wearing high heels today, so the two match in height.

I looked, the rest of the window was very clean, except for a string of handprints left here, which the cleaner would clean regularly every day, so this could not be left before.

If you look down, this piece of the carpet is badly worn. When I examined the body, I noticed that there was some kind of fibrous substance left on her high heels, which was consistent with it.

There is also the table where the vase is placed, with scratches on the legs, and the spacing of the marks is just the same width as the heel of the deceased's high heels. These are supposed to have been left behind when the deceased was entangled with the murderer. ”

Zhou Changqing nodded, and couldn't help but show a look of admiration.

"Team Zhou, I found out, the man's name is Xu Lei, he is the deceased's ex-boyfriend, and he works in the back kitchen of the NH Hotel. Xiao Zhao hurried over and reported his findings to Zhou Changqing succinctly and clearly.

"What did the surveillance outside the break room find?"

"The deceased entered the lounge at nine o'clock and never came out again. After that, Xu Lei entered the lounge at about half past ten, Steward He entered at ten fifty o'clock, Chen Feng entered at eleven o'clock, and no one else entered again. ”

"What about Xu Leiren?"

The brothers were watching him from the door. After Xiao Zhao finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds, and added: "Boss, when I and a few brothers went to look for him, he ran away when he saw us, do you think he has a weak heart?"

"Bring him in and ask him first. ”

Xu Lei was carried into the lounge by a few or two people.

Zhou Changqing glanced at Xu Lei, and then asked, "Uncle He, take a look, is it this man who quarreled with Wu Xi?"

He Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, took a closer look, and said with great certainty: "Yes, yes, yes, it's him, it's him." ”

Another person came in a hurry, it was Xiao Shen of the forensic department.

Zhou Changqing couldn't wait to speak: "How is it?

Xiao Shen closed the document in his hand and stated briefly: "Team Zhou, during the search, we found that the deceased's wedding dress was torn a corner, and the missing small piece of fiber happened to appear on Xu Lei's badge, and we also found that Xu Lei's fingerprints were left in many places on the deceased's body.

Moreover, in the mouth of the deceased, skin tissue that did not belong to her was found, and after identification, it belonged to Xu Lei. In addition to this, unknown fibrous tissue was found between the fingers of the deceased.

The medical examiner also gave a definite time of death, which was between 10:10 and 10:30. The immediate cause of death was the injection of an overdose of sleeping agents dissolved in water. And Xu Lei went in and out of the lounge at 10:30......"

"It's not me, I didn't kill the person, it's really not me!" Xu Lei panicked and argued at the top of his voice.

"Don't move!" one of the people who held him said: "You didn't kill people, why did you run away when you saw us? ”

Another person chimed in: "That's it, now all the evidence is only for you, what else do you have to say?"

"I've seen Wu Xi, but I really didn't kill her, I just wanted to ask her for money. Xu Lei was still arguing, but in front of those evidences, his words seemed pale and weak.

Those damn coincidences!!! In addition to those "empirical evidence", the body of the deceased was still found in the place where he worked, what should he say in order to make people believe that he really did not kill people?

"We only believe in the evidence. Zhou Changqing patted Xu Lei on the shoulder, and then said to Xiao Zhao: "Take him back to the bureau to make a record first." ”

"Yes, Team Zhou. ”

When everyone was talking, Chang An was not idle, walking back and forth in the lounge silently, as if searching for something, and she would raise her head from time to time, glance at everyone, and observe their expressions and movements.

When her eyes swept over a certain person, she found that there was a trace of cunning hidden in the person's eyes, which appeared and disappeared.

By the time she was still looking for something, the other party was already calm as usual. Why did he show such an expression? What is the motive? Where is the key evidence? Chang An frowned, and then lowered his head again.

Finally, in an inconspicuous corner, she noticed something, quickly crouched down, wrapped it in a handkerchief, looked left and right, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth. Before Xu Lei was escorted out of the lounge, she spoke: "He is not a murderer. ”

Everyone paused, looked at Chang An in unison, and asked in unison, "Why?"

"Because of this!" Chang An uncovered the handkerchief in his hand, revealing a ring that shone brightly in the light.

"Rings?"

"That's right! Chang An cleared his throat, his eyes fell somewhere, and he said lightly: "Steward He, where are you going?"

Steward He's body stiffened, turned around and smiled, "I'll go to the toilet." With that, he walked towards the door without changing his face.

Chang An pointed at Steward He and said firmly: "Stop him, he is the murderer." ”
