134. Confusing

Feng Haiquan has been busy recently, the homicide case on Anhesi Road has just been solved, and the marine police have sent Professor Sergei's drowning case over, and just found out the clue, the Park Hotel has another vicious case in which the German Heinz was shot and killed, and six Americans were seriously injured, the Park Hotel belongs to the Public Concession, and the British Inspector Brown has a gloomy face, and Inspector Pierre of the French Concession is always helpless about the current public security situation in Shanghai.

Because the murder case on Anhesi Road was solved within five days, Feng Haiquan became a major news figure in Shanghai for a while, and the call to replace Li Dongping, the chief of the Huajie police, was very high, and he was in the limelight for a while.

Of course, Feng Haiquan also knew that the reason why he was so popular with the people was because the murderer he arrested was not a bystander, but Liu Dahu, and it was precisely because Liu Dahu did a lot of evil on weekdays and aroused public resentment, so it caused such a big sensation after being brought to justice. And he himself is worshiped as a detective, the embodiment of justice. Immediately received praise from everyone.

Therefore, when Feng Haiquan proposed to investigate the case of Professor Sergei's drowning and the shooting of the Parker Hotel, he quickly obtained the consent of the police departments of the French Concession and the Public Concession, and even proposed the establishment of a task force led by Feng Haiquan and assisted by Inspector Brown and Pierre in solving the case, because both cases had some connection with the owner of No. 8 Anhesi Road, the Countess. And Feng Haiquan undoubtedly has the most complete information about the countess in his hands, so Feng Haiquan has become the leader of the task force.

This news undoubtedly boosted the national self-confidence and national pride of the vast number of Shanghai citizens, so that the high-spirited British inspector and the empty-eyed French inspector obeyed the orders of a Chinese inspector, which is unheard of, although this is China's territory, but since it was divided into several concessions by foreign powers, the Chinese have become the lowest people, and the sign hanging at the entrance of Huangpu Park "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter" makes many Chinese indignant and helpless for this. And now Inspector Feng Haiquan's prestige makes how many Chinese be able to raise their eyebrows!

Several cases are related to the countess, so Feng Haiquan focused on the countess and her maid Anna, but this missing person notice has been sent out for so many days, and the news about the master and servant has been in the sea, and there is no news, and suddenly appeared, but another murder case was triggered, and I have to say that this case is quite confusing.

Feng Haiquan took the case file of the Park Hotel to carefully inspect it, and also personally visited the front desk waiter of the Park Hotel, the waiter in the bar, the security guard and the lobby manager, and of course asked Smith and the other six injured people lying in the hospital, but he was inconsistent.

Whether it was the receptionist or the bartender, what they knew was that the countess and the maid next to her were indeed William Samuel, who had come to look for room 2008, and searched in the bar room but did not find it, but met the deceased German Heinz, and after saying a few words, they went upstairs, and as for what happened upstairs, they did not know anything.

What the lobby manager and security put forward was that when they heard gunshots upstairs, they quickly took the elevator upstairs, and on the twentieth floor, they found Heinz dead on the ground, and that William Samuel had a pistol in his hand, but had been knocked unconscious. In room 2008, five injured foreigners lay on the ground.

Heinz apparently died from a shot from Mr. Samuel's revolver, which Mr. Samuel did not deny, but he insisted that when a tall Chinese snatched a pistol from him, his finger accidentally touched the trigger of the pistol, so the pistol misfired and killed Heinz by mistake.

The other wounded also said that two Chinese men broke into their room, then fought and wounded several of them, and then fled with the countess and the maid. When Feng Haiquan asked why the Countess and the maid appeared in Room 2008 of the Park Hotel, Mr. Samuel explained that he was an old acquaintance with the Countess, and he told the Countess that he had come to Shanghai and stayed at the Park Hotel, so the Countess had come as promised.

As for why the two Chinese suddenly broke in, he didn't know why. When asked how he got in touch with the Countess, Mr. Samuel said that he had made a 7411 call, Feng Haiquan went to the telephone bureau to check, and found that the number 7411 was a grocery store, Feng Haiquan traced it to the grocery store, but found that the phone had long been broken, so Feng Haiquan thought that this Samuel was lying, and this phone number was made up by him. Two days later, the U.S. Consulate came forward and released Samuel on bail, and Feng Haiquan's clues were cut off again.

But in the process of questioning the relevant personnel of the Park Hotel, he heard a waitress say that he had met a liar who claimed to be a film director, saying that he asked her to audition, but when she changed her clothes, the person disappeared, at first she thought that he had gone to the toilet, because there was still the director's suit on the seat, who knew that he did not see his figure until the hotel got off work in the evening. Feng Haiquan asked the waitress what the film director looked like, and she said that she looked quite gentle, with the temperament of an artist, and there were two beautiful foreign women around her, like a playboy.

At that time, a priest ran out of the men's toilet in the skyscraper hall, saying that he was attacked by a bastard, knocked unconscious and thrown on the toilet, and then his priest's robe was gone, and he must have been stolen by the bastard. When asked what the bastard looked like, the priest replied that he hadn't seen it at all, and that the man had attacked him from behind.

Feng Haiquan realized that the bastard who attacked the priest should be the tall Chinese who beat up the six foreigners in room 2008, and that the self-proclaimed film director should be his partner, and the two beautiful foreign women next to the director should be the Countess and her maid.

But then I asked the staff in the hall if I saw a person in a priest's robe go out, and someone nodded and said that he saw it, but it was fleeting, and he was not impressed, and the so-called Sven-looking director and foreign woman were even more confused, and most of the guests who came in and out of the Park Hotel were foreigners, so foreign men and foreign women were very common here.

Feng Haiquan had no more clues than to be sure that the Countess had appeared at the Park Hotel and that there were two Chinese men beside him.
