Chapter 333: The Killing Process
Su Siyuan interrupted the customer service lady's statement halfway, and his reaction was a little excessive.
He said "impossible", a strong denial, but everyone didn't know what he was denying.
The customer service lady thought that Su Siyuan was suspecting that what she just said was made up, so she couldn't help but panic, scanned her surroundings at a loss, and clarified loudly for herself: "I'm not lying!" β
Su Siyuan stared at her closely, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's eye, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him and let the other party have nothing to hide.
It's still not sure if this customer service lady is in the same group as the murderer, he has such doubts in his heart, and he doesn't dare to guarantee without evidence. He must beat the other party out of the original form-
"Snow only eats breakfast every day when she wakes up, and it is impossible to have someone bring breakfast to her room before she wakes up. No matter where she is, Snow will not let people into her room lightly, especially when she is resting. Every night before going to bed, she would fold two chairs at the door, and there would be a fish tank on the chairs, and whenever someone opened the door from the outside, the two chairs would be knocked down, and the fish tank would fall to the ground. There is no fish tank in this hotel room, she will definitely find something else fragile to replace it-" When speaking, Su Siyuan's cold gaze never left the customer service lady, as if he had already determined that the other party was the accomplice who killed Su Sinuo. "Maybe Snow might tell you to bring breakfast, but she's never going to let you open her door with a spare key!"
Everyone only felt that what he said was a fantasy, and they felt incredible and a little dazed. What preparations does Su Sino do every night before going to bed...... Few people would understand why she did this, and cilantro was not one of them.
From Su Siyuan's words, Coriander learned the other side of Su Sinuo, maybe this unfortunate woman was not as stubborn as she imagined. Su Sinuo looks invincible on weekdays, maybe it's the same reason why Su Siyuan has been playing the role of a gentleman. It's all pretending to be yourself, and-
Stay alive.
The customer service lady was about to cry, and she defended herself dryly: "I didn't lie, I really didn't lie!" When I opened the door, I didn't knock anything down! β
Yan Song dutifully played his role, "Don't be impatient, Mr. Su don't worry." Don't panic this young lady. He looked at the customer service lady. Miss, is the note you received still there? β
The customer service lady with tears in her eyes nodded violently, "Yes!" β
So as not to take the opportunity for the customer service lady to cheat. Yan Song arranged a patrol to accompany her to the front desk.
The customer service lady took the note to Yan Song, "I really didn't lie!" β
Yan Song glanced at it, and the note was taken away by Su Siyuan.
The note reads: "Please deliver a meal to room 204 at a quarter past 6 a.m., and don't report it to me." Take the deputy door, thanks. β
"It's not Si Nuo's word at all!" Su Siyuan said loudly. Seeing that Su Qinghong was looking forward to it, he handed over the note.
Su Qinghong also determined that the content on the note was not written by Su Sinuo.
At this time, Fujihiko said: "I remembered one thing, when I went downstairs last night to ask the customer service lady for the spare key of room 205, I saw that the spare key of one room was missing from the key ring. Just to the left of room 205's spare key location, I'm not sure which room it is. β
In the evening, Coriander shut him out. He also had no choice but to go downstairs to find the customer service lady to get the backup key, otherwise he would not have found this. He listened to the customer service lady. I remembered the situation last night when I got the backup key.
All rented rooms in the hotel have two keys, one to be handed over to the tenant and the other to be kept for backup.
The spare keys on each floor are strung with rubber bands on a key ring made of round metal sheets, with several small circular holes around the edges of the metal plates, and the rubber bands that bind the keys are placed in the small holes. The keys are labeled with a number corresponding to each room, and the keys on the key ring are arranged in the order of number.
After listening to Fujihikodo, the customer service lady's face turned white.
The hole to the left of the spare key in room 205 is the spare key for room 204!
She had been working in a hotel for so long, how could she not know this.
The words of Su Siyuan and Fuji Yantang were very unfavorable to her situation. At present, it seems that this customer service lady is the most suspected of killing Su Sinuo.
The hotel staff brought spare keys to all the rooms on the second floor, and the two missing keys on the key ring were the spare keys for rooms 204 and 205.
The spare key to room 205 is in Fujihikodo, and the spare key to room 204 is naturally in the hands of the customer service lady who delivered breakfast to Su Sinuo's room this morning.
When such a big thing happened, she was scared stupid, and she didn't even think to get up and hang the key back.
When Yan Song cast a questioning look, the customer service lady glanced at Fuji Yantang and Su Siyuan at a loss, and hurriedly defended herself: "These two gentlemen were here last night, one asked for the spare key to room 205, and the other waited for me to check him in." I was in a hurry, there were so many keys on the ring, I didn't pay attention to whether there was one missing on the top! β
The metal disc made into the key ring was larger than a person's palm, and on it hung the spare keys of more than thirty rooms, like a string of wind chimes, heavy in the hand. Yan Song looked carefully and saw that each backup key was not only labeled with a number, but even each small hole on the edge of the metal disc was engraved with a corresponding number.
To the left of the spare key for room 205 is indeed the spare key for room 204.
Yan Songren glanced at Fuji Yantang unconsciously, thinking that if this man had told the situation he had noticed at that time, maybe ...... He shook his head and snapped the assumption.
Thinking about it, even if he found out about it at the time, he might not have sounded the alarm in his mind. Who would have thought that a spare key would be missing, and someone would have such an accident.
Yan Song asked the customer service lady, "When you delivered breakfast this morning, where did the key to open room 204 come from?" β
"It was taken off the keyring!" After the customer service lady finished speaking categorically, she glared at Fujihiko with tearful eyes with resentment, as if silently accusing him of lying.
When she was about to use the spare key to room 204 this morning, she found it hanging nicely on the keyring. She hadn't noticed anyone had touched that big bunch of keys before!
"Second Master Fuji," Yan Song held up the key ring. Pointing to the round hole used to hang the backup key in room 204, "Are you sure you found that the key in this location was not there at night?" β
"I believe what I see." Fujihiko had no doubts about his words.
Yan Song put down the key ring, his expression was a little unpredictable. He pondered for a while and then looked at Su Siyuan, "Mr. Su, why are you so sure that the deceased will definitely fold two chairs at the door before going to bed?" β
"That's what I taught her!" Su Siyuan's face was deep and solemn, he looked at everyone but didn't look at Su Qinghong, "I know that many people will think that young masters like me and Sinuo who were born in rich and noble families have no worries about food and clothing all day long. In fact, our growth environment is not as good as you think. You don't see the cruelty behind the magnificence...... Especially in a big family like our Su family, the more descendants of the descendants die, which means that the surviving people will get more property in the future...... Believe it or not. That's how I survive! β
The audience was silent.
Hearing Su Siyuan's words, the most shocked person was Su Qinghong, the old man of the Su family. He created so much wealth for his family, it was nothing more than to make his family's life better, but he never thought that the environment in which he created ZΓ o was too good, but it made Su Siyuan's juniors live so hard!
Su Qinghong was stunned. Man dies for money. Birds die for food...... Isn't it already like this since his generation when he fought for the family property?
The harmony of the Su family was originally obtained by him by bloody means. I didn't expect this "tradition" to continue to my grandchildren...... Maybe when he chose to live an ordinary life and stay with the woman he liked, the Su family would not have such a "tradition......
Yan Song coughed to relieve the discomfort in his throat. "Now I'll talk about the preliminary inference, the murderer's modus operandi - he served the customer first, and secretly took the spare key to room 204. Sneaked into room 204 while people were not looking, and hid somewhere in the room. The deceased returned to his room after playing mahjong. She didn't notice that there was another person in the room besides herself. After the deceased locked the door, he probably stacked two chairs on top of each other and placed a vase on the chair to sleep with peace of mind. The murderer waited until she was asleep before showing up to commit the crime, and after succeeding, he returned the chair and vase at the door to their original places, left room 204 in the dead of night, and quietly went downstairs to find the customer service lady on duty lying on the counter sleeping soundly, so he put the spare key of room 204 back in its place, and left this note that was prepared to be returned in advanceββ"
According to the evidence and testimony currently used, Yan Song summed up the murderer's crime process and methods, which sounded like a drop of water.
Inspector Wu on the side was very unconvinced when he saw Yan Song in the limelight, and wanted to overturn Yan Song's inference, but he couldn't find a place to refute it. If he opened his mouth to talk nonsense, wouldn't he make Yan Song more wise and martial? Inspector Wu, who couldn't speak, was angry and anxious.
Su Siyuan agreed with Yan Song's speculation, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He suspected that the person who checked out last night was the real murderer, but if what Yan Song said was true, then the problem would be-
Assuming that the person who checked out last night was the real murderer, after he killed Su Sinuo, the door of the hotel had not opened when he came out of room 204, it was impossible for him to leave through the hotel gate, could it be that he stayed in the hotel after killing someone. Since he stayed in the hotel, where could he hide after leaving the room?
"Are there any other exits to the hotel?" When Su Siyuan asked questions, he even said the assumptions in Tongxin.
The customer service lady said: "In addition to the gate, the hotel has two side doors, and the gate only comes at seven o'clock in the morning." The two side doors were an hour later than they opened. β
"Where's the window?"
The customer service lady said: "The building of our hotel is in the Romanesque architectural style, there are no windows in the corridors, and even the men's and women's toilets on each floor have only a small vent, and there are windows in the rooms." β
Su Siyuan was puzzled, since the murderer had nowhere to escape and nowhere to hide at that time, could it be that he could still fly with wings?
Su Siyuan looked at the customer service lady, "The person who checked out last night asked you to give me the room he was leaving, and he deliberately opened it to take the spare key." If you see him again, will you recognize him? β
The customer service lady thought about it, and only then did she realize that the man who checked out last night was a little suspicious, "At that time, he was wearing a round hat, and the brim was very low, I didn't see his appearance clearly, but when he raised his hand to press the hat, I saw a spot as big as a fingernail on the back of his hand!" β
"Other than that, what are his characteristics?" Yan Song asked, and encouraged her, "Say whatever you remember." β
The customer service lady tried to recall, "He must have a black hat and a dark gray gown, and he was taller than me, about 1.7 meters ......."
"After he checked out, did you watch him leave the hotel? The more detailed it is, the better. β
In order to clear her suspicions, the customer service lady will naturally try to do better than Yan Song's request, "At that time, he said that when he checked out, he also chatted with me a few words, saying that he saw a gentleman and a young lady yelling to stay in the hotel, so he asked me to give the room he wanted to vacate to that gentleman...... I thought to myself, since the gentleman and the lady had already got a key from their friend, I wanted to keep the room where the man was going to leave and wait to see if anyone else would come to book...... But...... I can't say it well, I think it's a little strange when I think about it, that person has been standing at the front desk when I did that, a little waiting for me to do that, I was a little embarrassed, thinking that after all, it was a guest's request, so I went upstairs to find Mr. Su...... I didn't notice if the person left the hotel. Oh yes, that guy didn't have a suitcase with him! β
"That person must have left his identity information when he made the reservation."
"Yes!"
The customer service lady went to the front desk to bring the register, turned to the page that recorded the information of the guests all day yesterday, and found the information of room 302.
This piece of information is relatively high, which means that room 302 was occupied yesterday morning, and it was not until last night that the resident was replaced by Su Siyuan. The information shows that the person who stayed in room 302 yesterday morning was a gentleman surnamed Huo.
Yan Song had already sent someone to conduct a carpet search of the whole hotel, but he couldn't find Mr. Huo, who had a spot on the back of his hand.
The search was fruitless, and Yan Song's reasoning reached a bottleneck. In front of everyone's eyes, he looked through the confession and always felt that he must have missed something.
With so many people around, as his gaze became denser and denser, Yan Song felt an invisible force oppressing him, disrupting the rhythm of his thinking.
At this time, someone said: "Will there be an accomplice?" (To be continued.) )
