Chapter 43: The Battle for the Hotel

Although the phone had been hung up, Chu Tianci still entered the appraisal department directly, and after telling his colleagues in the appraisal department what he encountered, he handed over the mobile phone to the other party, hoping to help him find the other party's location as soon as possible.

For ordinary people, this may be a very difficult thing, but the various knowledge learned by these people in the identification department is enough for them to assist the criminal police in solving various cases, so even if the other party has hung up the phone, the identification department can also detect the specific location of the previous phone through some special means, of course, if you want to complete all this, you still need the help of the three major operators.

After using it for more than an hour, through the phone card positioning, and finally locked in a small range, after knowing the exact place, Chu Tianci immediately led the team to set off, because the other party may leave the place at any time, after all, in this more than an hour of time, this phone card that contacted Chu Tianci received no less than ten kinds of harassing calls, if the other party was vigilant enough, he must have noticed that something was wrong, so he had to rush to the locked location as soon as possible, otherwise, he would not know when he would be able to continue to catch Ling Wanru next timeใ€‚

The place where Ling Wanru and Chu Tianci called was not particularly far from the police station, after knowing the exact place, Chu Tianci had to admire Ling Wanru's boldness, Ling Wanru really did a standard action under the lights, and it was precisely because this place was close enough to the location of the police station, so Chu Tianci never suspected that Ling Wanru would hide in this place.

It's a pity that when Chu Tianci and his party arrived, it was still a little late, it turned out that Ling Wanru had already left this place before everyone arrived, and the phone used by Ling Wanru before was not Ling Wanru's own, but the phone number of the landlord who appeared in front of Chu Tianci's eyes at this moment.

Chu Tianci was a little suspicious, when the landlord in front of him saw Ling Wanru, he didn't feel a little familiar, after all, some time ago, Ling Wanru's matter was still a very hot thing on TV, most of the residents of Shanhai City should not be unfamiliar with Ling Wanru's appearance, and more importantly, even if he didn't know Ling Wanru's appearance, if the other party registered to live, he should also see the other party's name, generally such a small hotel, there will be a special sea arrest document issued by the police station, so in any case, the landlord in front of him should not know Ling Wanru's identity, so Chu Tianci was a little suspicious at this moment, will this landlord be like Liu Yang before, because of some special reasons, he became Ling Wanru's accomplice.

"Officer, look at me like this, I really can't send it (I don't know)"

Listening to the serious dialect in the landlord's mouth, Chu Tianci became more and more suspicious of the other party, since there is a small hotel in Shanhai City, then it is necessary to welcome visitors from all over the world, so Mandarin is a necessary skill, so Chu Tianci does not believe that the other party does not know Mandarin, and at this moment the other party speaks such a strong dialect, Chu Tianci has reason to suspect that the other party wants to deliberately conceal some news.

"You don't have to say much, I know you can understand it, and you can also speak Mandarin, now if you don't cooperate like this, I can only doubt that you have anything to do with Ling Wanru, a wanted criminal in the serial murder case, you have to think about the consequences, do you honestly confess yourself, or will we directly arrest you as a cousin?"

"No, no, you can't do this, I didn't know her identity before, she just didn't have an ID card at the time, it was only because she was willing to pay more accommodation fees, so I agreed to her residence, what is her identity, I really don't know, you police can't be so wronged." โ€

Maybe it was Chu Tianci's words that made the landlord a little scared, so he didn't dare to continue to pretend, stood up directly from the chair, and explained in a hurry, and now this explanation, Chu Tianci is still more trusted, because he has worked in the Shanhai City Public Security Bureau for more than ten years, and he usually can't avoid contact with these small hotels, and naturally he has long known that there are some unwritten rules in these small hotels, that is, as long as you are willing to pay more living expenses, then even if you don't have an ID card to register, but the reason why these small hotels dare to do this is also because they have acquaintances in the Public Security BureauOnce there are really police officers coming to the door, they will definitely arrange for those people to leave early.

Of course, this time, Ling Wanru did not leave early, according to the landlord's explanation, Ling Wanru was ready to leave at that time, but when paying the room fee, she paid an extra part of the cash, and in exchange, Ling Wanru could use the landlord's mobile phone to make a call.

The situation at that time was very simple, Ling Wanru carried her schoolbag to check out at the front desk, since she made such a request, the landlord did not refuse, even if Ling Wanru was far away from the front desk to make a call, the landlord was not afraid of the other party fleeing, because Ling Wanru's schoolbag was left at the front desk, when Ling Wanru paid the room fee, the landlord clearly saw that there was a large bundle of cash in the schoolbag, so the landlord was naturally relieved that Ling Wanru left with her phone.

Although Ling Wanru was carrying everyone on her back when she called, it was still within the sight of the landlord, and the landlord clearly saw that when Ling Wanru was on the phone, a man with a mask suddenly entered the small hotel, Ling Wanru didn't take it to heart at first, but when the mask man was about to walk to the front desk, Ling Wanru suddenly hung up her mobile phone and walked towards the front desk, but unfortunately Ling Wanru was still a step late, because the mask man actually took a step forward and got Ling Wanru's schoolbag.

After seeing the mask man's actions, Ling Wanru directly threw the mobile phone in her hand towards him, and the landlord naturally couldn't see such a thing happening in his hotel, so while the mask man grabbed the schoolbag, the landlord also crossed the front desk and grabbed the mask man's clothes.

Whether it was smashed into his mobile phone, or the clothes grabbed by the landlord, it did not make the mask man change his actions, the mask man still quickly opened the zipper of the schoolbag, and groped in it with one hand, the mask man's actions were very fast, and he seemed to get what he wanted, and the mask man pulled his hand back, at that moment, the landlord clearly saw what object was hidden in the mask man's hand.

When the landlord was about to shout, Ling Wanru finally ran over, and at this moment, the mask man directly threw the schoolbag in his hand into the distance, and a few wades of cash spilled directly out of the opening, but Ling Wanru didn't care about this, but ran directly towards the schoolbag that fell to the ground, and it was also because the mask man's action attracted his attention, so the landlord didn't pay attention, and was broken free by the mask man, and then the mask man fled outside the hotel.

The landlord knew that the mask man had already grabbed what he wanted from Ling Wanru, but at this moment the mask man was far away, and it was impossible for him to catch up with him, so the landlord planned to make it clear to Ling Wanru that he had no responsibility for this matter, but what made the landlord strange was that after Ling Wanru checked the contents of the schoolbag, especially the items in an inconspicuous cardboard box, she was relieved, as if she had no loss, and it was also because of this reason that the landlord did not tell the scene when he saw the mask man take out the things, after all, more is better than less, since Ling Wanru herself was not aware of it, the landlord himself will not pay attention to it.

After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Chu Tianci found two somewhat unreasonable places in it, it is said that during this time, Ling Wanru should not have left Shanhai City, so where did the cash in Ling Wanru's backpack come from, as for the other point, it is about what the landlord said, the mask man took the things, but Ling Wanru herself did not realize it, Chu Tianci felt that whether it was the cardboard box that Ling Wanru cared about, or the things that the mask man wanted to get, it should be the same item, but what was this thing, it would cause so many things, so Chu Tianci was very curious, so he interrupted the landlord's narration, asked the doubts in his heart.

"Wait a minute, what did you say the mask man took away before? Also, what kind of thing was in the box that Ling Wanru checked? I hope you can help me describe it in detail. โ€

was abruptly interrupted by Chu Tianci, the landlord did not show any dissatisfaction, and also gave a very positive answer to Chu Tianci's inquiry, " I didn't see what it was, but one thing is for sure, that thing is jade, and it's that kind of old jade, if the guess is not wrong, it should be a jade pendant, but what pattern is carved on it, I don't know very well, but this thing is very valuable, I saw it clearly, in Ling Wanru's backpack, there were tens of thousands of yuan in cash, but whether it was the mask man or Ling Wanru herself, they didn't look at these cashes, but they paid special attention to the jade pendant in the cardboard box, so I felt that this jade pendant was worth too much more than the tens of thousands of yuanใ€‚ โ€

Although he didn't get a definite answer, but now, Chu Tianci finally knew for the first time what Ling Yunzhi's death was for, but what also puzzled Chu Tianci was that a piece of jade, no matter how much money it was worth, unless it was a jade seal, but the landlord also made it clear that this was a jade pendant, so it was difficult for Chu Tianci to understand why several people valued a jade pendant so much.

For the landlord, Chu Tianci was not overly embarrassed, after all, as the landlord himself said, he didn't know anything else except for the things in the hotel, so Chu Tianci could only arrange for someone to record a confession for him and let him go.
