After coming to the backyard, Lin Lei's eyes circled around the root of the fence, carefully examining the ground.

"Detective Lin, what are you looking for?" Officer Li walked over and asked.

Except for a small path in the middle of the yard, other places were overgrown with weeds, and Lin Lei bent over, brushing away the weeds with his hands from time to time, carefully searching the ground.

"Huh?" Hearing Officer Li's words, Lin Lei raised his head and said, "I'm looking for glass ballast...... By the way, Officer Li, you can help me find it too. ”

After Lin Lei said this, he buried his head in looking for it again.

Although Officer Li had some doubts in his heart, he also followed Lin Lei and found the glass ballast along the root of the wall.

The two of them searched the inside and outside of the fence, not to mention the glass ballast, and they couldn't even find the biscuit residues......

"I didn't find anything...... Lin Lei stretched his waist, straightened up, and said thoughtfully.

Officer Li is not stupid, why is Lin Lei looking for glass slag, he also reacted at this time, so he said: "Detective Lin, there is no glass slag, which means that no one has climbed over the wall - if someone climbs over the wall, those broken glass slags on the top of the wall will definitely fall down." ”

Lin Lei bowed slightly, glanced at Officer Li meaningfully, and said lightly: "I expected it." ”

Officer Li seemed to understand something, and whispered, "Detective Lin, do you mean that the murderer is in the hotel?"

Lin Lei was noncommittal, and pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "Let's talk about it later, there are some things I haven't figured out yet——"

After a pause, Lin Lei then said to Officer Li: "You bring the innkeeper here, I have something to ask her." ”

Officer Li nodded, and immediately turned around to call Boss Chen.

Not long after, Widow Chen was brought over, she changed into a blue long oil jacket, Lin Lei nodded at her, and said, "Is this back door usually closed?"

Widow Chen glanced at Lin Lei and said, "Yes, the door is usually closed, and it is only opened when you go in and out." ”

"Was this back door closed last night?" Lin Lei continued to ask.

"Yes," Widow Chen thought for a moment and said, "I checked the back door before going to bed last night to make sure the latch was plugged in. ”

"Uh-" Lin Lei frowned slightly, falling into thought.

After a while, Lin Lei raised his head, stared at Widow Chen, and asked, "When did you go to bed last night?"

"Ten o'clock, we're all closing at this time. Widow Chen replied unhurriedly.

Lin Lei continued to ask: "When you got up in the morning, you noticed that this back door was open or closed?"

Widow Chen thought for a moment and replied, "When I woke up in the morning, it was still a little dark, and when I came to the backyard to take a turn, the door should have been closed—but I didn't look closer......

"What time did you wake up in the morning?"

"Half past five. ”

"Have you opened this door since you checked the back door last night until this morning?"

"Nope. ”

Lin Lei looked at Officer Li meaningfully and said, "Things are getting more and more interesting. ”

After Widow Chen left, the police officer in charge of fingerprint comparison at the scene came over to report an important piece of information.

The headless corpse in the field was confirmed to belong to newspaper reporter Du Chengming.

Lin Lei had already seen that the deceased was Du Chengming through his body shape and clothing, but the identification of the deceased in the homicide case was very important, and the head of the corpse was cut off, and the final confirmation work must be confirmed through DNA or fingerprints, so as to avoid stealing beams and changing pillars or Li Dai Tao's stiffness.

Why did the murderer kill Du Chengming?

Why cut off his head?

Why do you want to play a trick of a "headless ghost"?

Lin Lei fell into thought.

There weren't many tenants in the hotel last night, except for the reporter, there were only the four people Lin Lei had seen during the day.

After a preliminary investigation, it seems that none of them have an alibi.

It's obvious, everyone sleeps with the door closed, and who can prove whom?

Even Liu Ziyun and Li Min can't talk about any alibi - who knows if these two people conspired to commit crimes?

It's just a small town, and the hotel doesn't have any surveillance cameras, so it seems impossible to lock down the real culprit through surveillance footage......

"Detective Lin, do you think the murderer is in the hotel?" Officer Li looked at Lin Lei with blank eyes and asked the biggest doubt in his heart.

Lin Lei frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he replied, "If Liu Ziyun is telling the truth, then the murderer must be in the hotel." ”

"Tell the truth?" Officer Li caught the key information and hurriedly asked, "Detective Lin, do you suspect that Liu Ziyun is deliberately making up a story?"

Lin Lei spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "The credibility of the confession has always been not so high. As for whether she's telling the truth or not, I don't think it will be long before we can find out. ”

……

Zhang Yunpeng was the guest who Lin Lei saw yesterday who came to the "hotel" with a woman.

For some reason, Lin Lei seemed to be very interested in him.

Zhang Yunpeng lived next door to Lin Lei, and Lin Lei came to his room.

There were not many guests in the hotel, Liu Ziyun, Li Min, Zhang Yunpeng and the woman he brought, everyone stayed in their rooms, not allowed to move around at will, let alone leave, waiting for the police to question.

After entering Zhang Yunpeng's room, Lin Lei found that it looked very messy, with a large pile of paper towels thrown in the trash can in front of the bed......

There were a few clothes on the sofa in the room, a pile of snacks on the table, and a take-out box that had been eaten.

There is a bunch of barbecue bamboo skewers next to the box, it seems that this is the takeaway barbecue ordered by Zhang Yunpeng last night.

At this moment, there is a policeman in the room who is responsible for monitoring Zhang Yunpeng and the bewitching woman he brought, the police already know Lin Lei's identity, and when they saw Lin Lei enter the room, they immediately greeted him.

Before the policeman could speak, Lin Lei smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I'll ask here!"

The policeman nodded and walked out of the room.

"This police officer, when can we leave? I also booked a ticket for the afternoon to fly from TB to Tokyo!" Zhang Yunpeng looked at the situation and estimated that Lin Lei was a big official, so he angrily raised his own doubts and asked to leave.

"While there is still time, let's change the ticket!" Lin Lei glanced at Zhang Yunpeng and said coldly.

Zhang Yunpeng wanted to argue a few more words, but he was a little worried about Lin Lei, and swallowed the words back when they came to his mouth.

"There has been a murder here, and the entire hotel is a suspect, I hope you will also cooperate with the police...... Lin Lei said unhurriedly.

Zhang Yunpeng smiled bitterly: "Alas, it's really been eight lifetimes of blood mold, and this kind of thing happened!"

Lin Lei didn't seem to hear it at all, just glanced at the room quickly, and asked Zhang Yunpeng: "Tell me about your whereabouts from eight o'clock last night to six o'clock this morning." ”

Zhang Yunpeng looked at Lin Lei a little nervously, but Lin Lei was expressionless, he had to swallow a mouthful of saliva and said, "Uh, I want to think about it...... I went back to my room at 8 o'clock last night, and I ordered a takeout before about 10 o'clock, and I have been talking to ...... since then I watched TV and ate takeout with my friends, went to bed around eleven o'clock, and was woken up this morning. ”

Lin Lei glanced at Zhang Yunpeng, then looked at the woman beside Zhang Yunpeng, and asked slowly, "Have you ever been out during the period?"

"No, we were both in the room all the time. ”

"Just the two of you in the room?"

"Yes. ”

"So that means that no one can prove it?"

"Well, when the delivery guy came, it probably proved that we were in the room at the time......"

After saying this, Zhang Yunpeng was also not confident, after all, it was only a minute or two when the takeaway brother came, what can he prove?

The woman next to Zhang Yunpeng lowered her head, ruffled her hair with her hands from time to time, and tried to make a gesture that it was none of her business.

Lin Lei turned his head to stare at her and asked, "What's your name?"

"Lucy Lu. The woman whispered.

Lin Lei squinted his eyes slightly, and asked lightly, "What is your relationship?"

Lu Yuling and Zhang Yunpeng glanced at each other, and said quickly: "Friendship ......"

After saying this, Lu Yuling glanced at the paper towel in the paper basket unnaturally, and the meaning was obvious......

Of course, Lin Lei understood what these two people were doing last night, so he didn't continue to ask.

After doing this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will be a big sleep, and I won't run to see if there is any movement outside the window.

Are the murderers among them?

Who is the black shadow that Liu Ziyun saw?

Headless ghosts?

Who's playing tricks?

Lin Lei's eyes deepened, and he lowered his head and fell into deep thought......
