Chapter 140: Had to be caught
Returning to the Yongan Hotel with a mind full of questions, Tang Tian keenly felt that the boss's gaze was a little guarded when he looked at him, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, secretly wondering what he had caused the boss's suspicion.
Until Tang Tian returned to his room, he never understood what was going on with the innkeeper's gaze, and could only attribute the problem to the fact that he didn't ask him to open the door and leave the hotel last night.
Tang Tian lay on the bed and lit a cigarette, ready to take a nap for a while to recuperate, and continued to stare at the owner of the Yongan Hotel tonight to see if he could find some clues.
Before Tang Tian could finish smoking a cigarette, there was a sound of dishes breaking upstairs, and then the hurried and heavy footsteps of the innkeeper sounded in the stairs.
"What are you doing? Lao Tzu just serves you all day long, you don't want Lao Tzu to worry, do you?" the innkeeper's shouting and scolding rang out, and it intensified.
Tang Tian couldn't sit still, so he simply pushed open the door and trotted all the way to the fourth floor, and as soon as he turned the staircase, he saw the innkeeper standing at the door, pushing an old man in a wheelchair out of the house, and the old man's face was printed with a red slap print!
"You stop me!" Tang Tian couldn't hold back any longer, stopped the innkeeper who was pushing the old man out, and looked at him with a cold face, "That's how you treat the old man? Do you still have a conscience? Don't bear the obligation of support, and beat and abuse the old man, enough for you to enter the bureau and squat for a few months!"
"Why don't you meddle with his own affairs! Living in Lao Tzu's house, and still dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs? Do you know whose territory this is? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu let you sleep on the streets tonight?!" The boss was also angry, and when he heard Tang Tian's threat, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and he was ready to push Tang Tian.
At the moment when he reached out, Tang Tian grabbed his wrist with his backhand, turned around and fell over the shoulder, pressing the boss firmly to the ground.
"Look at your wasteful appearance, you can also find a sense of existence in the old man, I warn you, if you beat and scold the old man again in the future, I will cut you in minutes!" Tang Tian was not ready to kill him, there must be something wrong with this boss, if he really crippled him, where would he go along the vine and touch the melon? If he hadn't gone too far today, he really wasn't ready to provoke him.
Seeing that the boss didn't struggle, Tang Tian gradually let go of the hotel owner, and it was almost the same to teach him a lesson, so he couldn't just grab the handcuffs, right?
However, after the innkeeper got up from the ground, he took out a spring~ knife from his pocket in annoyance and angrily, and stabbed Tang Tian in the chest with a hideous face!
Tang Tian didn't dare to let go of his hand this time, and before he stabbed himself, he kicked him out a few meters away, and the spring~ knife also fell to the ground.
Before he could roll over and get up, Tang Tian strode up to him, twisted his two arms behind his back, and simply took out the handcuffs and put them on for him.
"Originally, I was going to let you be chic for a few more days, but now it's okay, you can't run away from the charge of attacking the police with weapons!
Tang Tian was in a very bad mood, on the one hand, he felt that he was too impulsive, in case he caught the innkeeper, causing his accomplice to flee in fright, it would definitely be a big loss, but on the other hand, he was also very helpless, the other party had taken out a knife, this relationship had been completely deadlocked, if he was not arrested, he would definitely not be able to continue to stay in this Yongan Hotel, and there was no way to continue the investigation.
The sudden change made the innkeeper fall into a state of confusion, and the cold touch on his wrist made him desperate, and his face was no longer hideous and angry, but a little more pale.
After receiving Tang Tian's phone call, Qu Liuqiao quickly arrived at the scene with the police from the police station and escorted the hotel owner to the police station in Lingshan Town for temporary detention to wait for the results of the follow-up investigation.
The old man with a dull expression and severe atrophy of the muscles in his legs was sent by the police to a nearby nursing home for temporary residence, after all, after the innkeeper was arrested, it became a problem for him to stay here and even eat.
What's more troublesome is the handling of the tenants in the Yongan Hotel, the innkeeper was arrested, and there are no other employees in the hotel except for a few nearby residents who act as cleaning staff, and these tenants are not suitable if they continue to live in the hotel, but the problem is that there are several rooms on the first floor that are rented here for a long time by paying monthly rent, and if they really drive everyone away, it will be a bit innocent for these people.
After discussing with the police at the police station, Tang Tian made a decision to send a policeman to stay here temporarily to maintain law and order, and the tenants who pay the room fee every day must move out before tonight, and there are only three or four families who pay monthly, and they all live on the first floor, so they simply let them live first.
After dealing with these troubles, Tang Tian was about to go to the innkeeper's room to have a look, but before he could walk up the stairs, he was stopped by a tenant who lived on the first floor.
"Comrade policeman, can I ask you something?" The eldest sister looked frightened, and motioned Tang Tian with her eyes to enter the house and talk.
Tang Tianhu suspiciously followed in, only to find that there was a man about forty years old in the house, who seemed to be the eldest sister's husband.
"Comrade policeman, how long will you be imprisoned for assaulting the police?" the eldest sister asked tentatively, her eyes constantly glancing at the man sitting there smoking by himself.
The man understood what his wife meant, stood up with a smile and handed Tang Tian a cigarette, standing aside not knowing what to do.
"If it's just an attack on the police, with the extent that he is armed with a sharp weapon, it will be between eight months and a year, but it cannot be ruled out that there are other criminal facts on him, and we need further investigation to reach a conclusion!" Tang Tian didn't understand what these two people meant, so he simply told the truth.
"Then, what if he is still found to be an impostor and encroach on other people's houses?" the eldest sister's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked.
Encroaching on other people's houses? Tang Tian was happy in his heart, this is a rhythm with a major hidden secret!
"It depends on the length of time he has embezzled, under normal circumstances, he will be sentenced to about two years in prison if he encroaches on other people's houses, and if the encroachment is long enough and the amount of profit is huge, he will be sentenced to more than two years and less than five years in prison!"
"That's about six years?" The eldest sister secretly estimated and immediately made a decision, "Comrade policeman, let me tell you, the real landlord of this building is the old man in the innkeeper's house, the boss said that it was his uncle, but the old man seems to have a problem with his head, and he is usually locked in the house by the hotel owner, and we all suspect that the innkeeper is not the old man's nephew at all, because when he first came, he didn't have our accent at all!"
"Are you sure?" Tang Tian felt more and more that the conscience of the innkeeper was all fed to the dog, if what the eldest sister said was true, just beating the elderly, attacking the police, and the crime of encroaching on other people's houses could arrange for him to be at least five years in prison, and he would also face a huge fine and compensation.
"How can this be determined! Let's just talk about it in private, after all, it's not easy to fall out with people if we live in someone's hotel, right?" The eldest sister laughed again, she didn't want to cause trouble for herself because of this matter, and the reason why she decided to say it was because she felt that the old man was too pitiful, "Also, comrade policeman, if you really find out something, don't say that it is the clues we provide! We are ordinary people, if we really get into any trouble, we won't be able to live!"
Tang Tian nodded and agreed, there were already measures to protect witnesses in the current case-handling process, and it would definitely not cause trouble for this family.
Coming out of this house, Tang Tian suddenly sighed with emotion, the reason why such a thing happened, in the final analysis, is the dereliction of duty of the police, if the police in the town come out to visit the nearby residents more on weekdays, and increase the link between the police and the people, maybe they would have found out that they were tired of it.
But then again, there are only a few policemen in the small town police station, and if they are all sent out to visit, it is estimated that the work in the station will be chaotic.
Tang Tian called Qu Liuwan, who was standing outside the door, and came to the room where the innkeeper lived.
This room is the largest suite in the whole building, there is a master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms, and the living room area is nearly 50 square meters.
Judging from the traces of perennial friction on the cement floor, the master bedroom should be the boss himself, the second bedroom on the left hand side is rarely entered, and the second bedroom farthest from the door is where the old man lives.
There is a lot of dust on the sofa in the living room, it seems that there are few guests, judging from the wine bottles and cigarette boxes on the ground, they are all low-priced products, this boss has no spare money in his hands, and his life is very compact.
"The room where the old man lives has not been cleaned for a long time, and the rice bowl has not been washed for a long time, this is simply abuse!" Qu Liuwan pushed open the door of the innermost second bedroom, and his face was instantly full of anger.
Tang Tian was not surprised by this, but confirmed the clues provided by the tenants on the first floor, the hotel owner is likely to be an impostor and encroach on other people's houses!
With the investigation of the room, Tang Tian's eyes were attracted by the shovel behind the door, the cement imprint on the shovel was very new, it should have just solidified for one to two days, but there was no trace of the wall or the ground in this room, so where was the cement on the shovel repaired?
Tang Tian searched back and forth in the room, but never found any traces, and couldn't help but wonder even more in his heart, in the thinking of ordinary people, the shovel with cement would not be taken directly into the house, it would either be washed clean with water, or it would be thrown directly outside the door and knocked off, but this shovel was deliberately placed in the inconspicuous corner behind the door.
"I'll take a look outside, you continue to survey the house!" Tang Tian walked out of the room to the corridor on the fourth floor, and looked down on the ground for traces of cement dripping.
Walking from the end of the aisle to the vicinity of the staircase, Tang Tian's pupils contracted suddenly, and he found a brown drag mark in the bottom corner of the handrail of the staircase!
Tang Tian half-squatted on the ground, wiped the inconspicuous drag marks on the ground with his index finger, which were only a few centimeters, and then put his index finger to his nose and sniffed lightly, there was a smell of blood!
Discovering this bloody drag mark, Tang Tian's emotions instantly became excited, he was now basically sure that there must be some secret hidden on the fourth floor of this building, but he hadn't discovered it yet!
Looking along the direction of the drag marks, Tang Tian found that there were traces of the mop sweeping on the wall near the ground, bringing out irregular water marks, and the traces of this cleaning continued to the end of the other side of the aisle.
