"Manager Cheng, how many years have you been smoking?" Tang Tian suddenly looked back at Manager Cheng.

"Huh?" Manager Cheng was a little stunned, he was still pondering the meaning of Tang Tian's words just now, and in the face of this brainless question, he seemed slightly stunned, "More than ten or twenty years, right? I can't tell when I started smoking!"

"Then how many can you smoke in a day?" Tang Tian continued to ask.

"It's hard to say, if you're upset, you may have more, under normal circumstances, about one box a day!" Manager Cheng wondered even more, could it be that these people jumped off the building and had something to do with how much they smoked? Isn't this nonsense!

"Then, if you are asked to smoke a box of cigarettes in more than three hours, can you do it?" Tang Tian felt that his inference was nine times out of ten correct.

"Just kidding! A box of cigarettes in less than four hours, it's going to die!" Manager Cheng's face changed suddenly, and he even felt that the goods in front of him were here to make him happy!

"Alright, thank you for your cooperation!"

Tang Tian was very sure in his heart, he could basically conclude now that these three people were definitely not committing suicide! At least they did not jump off the building voluntarily! A 20-year-old smoker could not say that he could smoke 20 cigarettes in less than four hours, how did the deceased manage to smoke 20 cigarettes in just four hours and still have the ability to jump off the building? The only explanation was that after they stayed in the hotel, they could no longer control their bodies!

"No, comrade policeman, why don't I understand more and more when you ask this? You make me even more unable to sleep!" Manager Cheng saw that Tang Tian was about to go back to the room, so he simply asked his doubts directly.

"They didn't commit suicide!" Tang Tian looked at Manager Cheng directly, trying to judge something from his expression.

Manager Cheng immediately became nervous when he heard this, these three people were judged to have committed suicide, and the trouble of the hotel may be smaller, if he is judged to be killed, then the hotel is ironclad!

"Can't it, right? I can see it clearly in the surveillance, they climbed to the top of the fifth floor by themselves, and then jumped down, how could this be his killing?" Manager Cheng was sweating profusely, he was wondering if Tang Tian would be the legendary black policeman and want to use this to defraud himself of money?

"Don't be nervous!" Tang Tian could see that Manager Cheng's nervousness was simply for the sake of the hotel, and there was no fear of guilt being revealed, so there was no need to continue to scare him, "According to my investigation, the deceased was indeed killed by him, but it has little to do with your hotel, in a sense, your hotel is purely unlucky!"

After saying this, Tang Tian didn't wait for Manager Cheng to continue to ask, and went straight to Qu Liu's room, this matter has already been investigated by the local police, and it seems a little inappropriate for him to intervene sideways, not to mention that Xiang Yu has confessed that he is a personal action this time, and it has nothing to do with the Special Investigation Bureau, if he really reveals his identity because of the hotel, it will inevitably affect the next investigation.

But the problem is that Tang Tian saw the shadow of the Meridian Meeting from the suicide case of jumping off the building in the hotel, and he felt that apart from the reason for the chaos of the gods and ghosts, the only thing that could make people unable to control themselves, keep smoking, and jump off the roof of the building was hypnosis! And this hypnotic method is also very in line with the style of the Meridian Society!

Even, Tang Tian suspected that the reason why the Meridian Society let these deceased people smoke desperately before jumping off the building was probably because they wanted to use the nicotine content to cover up other things in the deceased's blood!

"How is that Taoist priest now?" Qu Liuwan asked when he saw Tang Tian coming back.

"The leg is broken, the vein is ruptured, but there is no major problem with the upper body, and his life should be saved!" Tang Tian sat on the sofa and pointed to the position next to him, "You sit first, I have something I want to talk to you about!"

Qu Liu's heart moved, his face immediately became a little unnatural, he blushed, pursed his lips and sat down, and looked at Tang Tian expectantly.

"I just went to the room where the three deceased who jumped off the building before lived, and I found that two of the three people had a large number of cigarette butts in their rooms, and according to the hotel manager, they checked in at about half past eight in the evening and jumped off the building at about twelve o'clock, so they smoked a pack of cigarettes in three hours, which is very abnormal!"

When Tang Tian said this, he suddenly found that Qu Liu's weak expression was a little strange, and there was a kind of pants that had been taken off, and you showed me the gourd baby's sense of déjà vu: "What's wrong with you?

"I'm fine! you go on!" Qu Liuwan said through gritted teeth, feeling extremely annoyed in his heart, he had long known that this thing in front of him was a straight man of steel, why did he still expect him to confess to himself at night?

"Oh!" Tang Tian saw that Qu Liu was weak and didn't want to say, and he didn't think to ask a few more words, and continued to return to his case analysis," When I came up, I checked the information on the Internet, even if it is a women's cigarette with the lowest tar content, if you smoke one after another, you will have severe dizziness, hypoxia, and heart rate imbalance around the tenth, and if you smoke it to the fifteenth, there will be different degrees of nicotine poisoning, very few physiques, or perennial smokers may have high antibodies to nicotine, but they will definitely not be able to smoke twenty men's cigarettes in a row!"

"That is to say, after they stay in the hotel, it is very likely that they have been unable to control their bodies, I suspect that this matter is related to the Meridian Meeting, the reason why they are crazy ~ smoking, is to use the nicotine content to cover up other things in their blood!"

After listening to Tang Tian's analysis, Qu Liuwan also entered the working state, and she carefully recalled Tang Tian's account: "Your suspicions are very reasonable, but how to explain the deceased who didn't smoke?"

"I can't say for sure before I see the autopsy report, but I have a guess, could it be that this deceased doesn't have something in his body that the Meridian Society wants to cover, plus this deceased is a woman and has no habit of smoking, so there is no need to control her to go crazy~ What about smoking?"

Tang Tian raised his head and looked at Qu Liuqiao with an inquiring gaze: "The problem now is that the local police have intervened in the investigation of this case, and if we want to get the autopsy report, we must identify ourselves to the local police, which is against the requirements of the Xiang team!"

"Well, this is indeed a problem, Lingshan Town is only a township-level police station after all, this kind of continuous suicide case should be handled by the county public security bureau, I think it is better to tell the Xiang team about this matter first, listen to his opinion, and then make a decision!"

Qu Liuqiao didn't wait for the next day, he directly took out his mobile phone and called Xiang Yu, according to what she knew about Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu definitely hadn't slept yet.

In fact, just as she expected, Xiang Yu quickly answered the phone, and after listening to Qu Liu's weak narration, he also agreed with Tang Tian's judgment very much.

"I'll coordinate this matter, don't make any extraneous complications for the time being, and focus on the investigation of Peng Xuan!"

This is Xiang Yu's final reply, he feels that the clues of the hotel are important, but it is not as urgent as Peng Xuan's side, after all, the body is placed there, and it is okay to re-examine the autopsy whenever you want, but Peng Xuan's whereabouts are still unknown, and there may be danger at any time, and there is no room for delay.

After receiving Xiang Yu's reply, Tang Tian and the others had no choice but to suspend the investigation of the hotel, and began to look for Peng Xuan in Lingshan Town early the next morning according to the information provided by Xu Zhiwei.

Because Lingshan Town used to be a tourist attraction, the monitoring outlets in the town are much more complete than those in other towns, so Xu Zhiwei has investigated the area where the monitoring is installed, which has reduced the workload of Tang Tian and the others too much.

But even so, if you want to find Peng Xuan in Lingshan Town, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so you can only wander aimlessly on the streets, taking Peng Xuan's photos to various hotels to inquire.

A whole morning passed, Tang Tian and the others did not find any clues about Peng Xuan, only Xu Zhiwei had a slight gain, but it was limited to Peng Xuan's shopping activities in a few streets near the station, when she left the monitoring coverage, Xu Zhiwei was out of line.

"It can't go on like this!" Qu Liuwan bought two bottles of mineral water and threw one bottle to Tang Tian, "According to our way of searching, it may be half a month before we find someone! According to the news from Xiao Xu's side, it is very likely that Peng Xuan and the others are not in the town, if the search scope is expanded to the villages near Lingshan Town, it is almost impossible for the two of us to find people!"

"She bought hiking ropes and all kinds of field supplies, could it be that she wants to go camping in a nearby scenic spot?

Tang Tian began to doubt his judgment, according to the video sent by Xu Zhiwei, Peng Xuan had no intention of dodging at all, and was completely unsuspecting and wandering around, without even looking back behind him during the whole process. This was very different from what he had inferred.

Qu Liuwan couldn't help but roll his eyes, if Peng Xuan really went camping in the scenic spot, the possibility of encountering danger would be a little greater. After the fire in Lingshan Town, because of Internet rumors, there are fewer and fewer tourists here, and several companies that contract the scenic spot have gone bankrupt one after another, which has also led to the disrepair of the facilities in the scenic spot, and there have been many cases of accidental deaths of tourists when they play in the scenic spot.

"Let's find a place to eat first! In the afternoon, we will continue to look in the town, if there are no clues, let's go into the mountains tomorrow to have a look!" Tang Tian could only make such a decision, this trip could not be regarded as fruitless, at least he could determine that the last place where Peng Xuan appeared was the bus station in Lingshan Town.

There are not many restaurants in the town, Tang Tian and the two of them searched for more than half an hour before they found a Lu restaurant, there were not many people in the store, and it only took more than ten minutes to finish ordering, and the waiter began to serve food on the table.

Just as the two were eating, a man dressed very sloppily came in from the door, and he could smell the strong smell from a long distance.

The man shook numbly and walked into the hotel, his dirty hands on the table in the hotel, "Have you seen my wife?

"Oh, I said why are you here again? How many times have I told you, your wife didn't come to us!" The proprietress of the Lu restaurant was very disgusted, and wanted to push the man out, but she hated the stench emitted from his body, "If you do this again, don't blame me for calling the police! It's not easy for me to open a small shop, you come every day, how can I do business?"

"I'll look for my wife, I'll leave when I find it!" the man shook his head firmly, and looked around the store in a daze, making sure that he didn't see his familiar figure, and then let out a sigh, and the little color in his eyes disappeared.

"I said no, did I? Let's go and go in! Don't come again this afternoon! If you continue like this, I'll really call the police and arrest you!"

The proprietress seemed to be worried about irritating the man, and although the expression on her face was disgusted, her tone was quite coaxing.

Hearing this, Tang Tian's heart moved slightly, he remembered the missing person notice placed at the front desk of the hotel, and couldn't help frowning and got up and followed out.

"Are you looking for your wife?" Tang Tian walked a few steps quickly to stop the man, and asked by pointing to the missing person notice in his hand.

"Yes, I'm looking for my wife! She's not lost, she's definitely been kidnapped!" Speaking of his wife, the man's expression is no longer so wooden, and his eyes are a little more bright, "The afternoon before yesterday, she said that she was going to pick up her fellow countryman, so she asked for leave from the factory, but she didn't come back that night, and the phone was turned off when she called her, and I didn't have the contact information of her fellow countryman, so I could only ask and look for it, and finally found here!"
