Chapter 198 5 Traces at the foot of the bed
Wang Liang's family was not as sad as he imagined, when his wife, who was also his widow, knew that the person who came was a policeman, she just invited them into the house and sat down, and then asked lightly: "When can the case of my man be closed, so that we can send him to the crematorium to burn him earlier?" ”
Lin Jinghao didn't expect that the woman in front of him, wearing mourning clothes and black armbands, would be so calm, there was no trace of tears on her face, only extraordinary calmness.
"There are still some doubts in this case, and we need to know more about it." Lin Jinghao didn't ask a question, but Gu Qing answered first.
"Oh, just ask any questions, it's better to end this matter sooner." Wang Liang's wife is in her thirties, she looks like she should be properly maintained, her skin is white and red, a little chubby of a middle-aged woman, and her appearance can only be regarded as ordinary.
"Don't you want our police to find out thoroughly?" Gu Qing couldn't understand the idea of a woman who had lost her husband, but only hoped that the police would close the case quickly.
"Beautiful police officer, do you know that we are now orphans and widows, and have become the laughing stock of everyone we know. If you don't close the case, we'll be laughed at by our relatives and friends all the time, and my husband died in another woman's bed, and he didn't even have a single piece of clothing on. The woman finally raised her head, raised her voice slightly, and finally saw a little tear in her eyes.
It seems that in the past few days, she has had enough of other people's cynicism.
"We need your active cooperation in the investigation to close the case as soon as possible. Please think about whether your husband was taking colchicine for a long time to treat his gout symptoms before the accident. Seeing the woman's appearance, Lin Jinghao could only go straight to the point.
"He's been using this medicine, you know he's a businessman, and he always can't help but invite guests to drink, and when he gets gout, he can't stand the pain, so he has been using this medicine. Could it be that this medicine has something to do with his death? The woman replied briskly, without a hint of hesitation, and it seemed that she had answered all the questions.
"Does he carry this medicine with him, or does he usually only take it at home before going out?"
"He takes it at home, and he carries a little bit with him, and this disease can attack at any time." As the woman spoke, her eyes were fixed on a family portrait on the table. In the photo, in addition to Wang Liang and her, there is also a teenage child, and the family of three has a smile on their faces, looking very happy.
"The kids are so old?" Seeing that the child's size was even taller than Wang Liang, Lin Jinghao asked casually, casually easing the atmosphere.
"We were introduced to each other, we were all poor back then, so we got married early, I was just twenty years old at that time, Wang Liang was only twenty-two years old, and the children are eighteen years old this year, and they are already in their first year of college."
"Freshman?" Lin Jinghao couldn't help but glance at Gu Qing, if he got married at his current age, when he was forty years old, the child would probably only be a few years old!
Coming out of Wang Liang's house, Lin Jinghao was obviously a little disappointed, it seems that Wang Liang himself has the habit of taking colchicine for a long time. What's more, it is entirely possible to overdose on that kind of unconscious occasion.
So the only suspicious thing now is the female ghost who appeared in the surveillance. However, there was no trace of a third party at the scene. Is it really hell?
"Lin Suo, where are we going?" Gu Qing saw that Lin Jinghao didn't speak or drive, so he couldn't help but ask with concern.
"I'd like to go to the scene again," Lin replied.
The Excellence Hotel during the day is much more lively than at night, and it seems that after a few days, the death of someone in the hotel has slowly faded. After saying hello to the lobby manager, Lin Jinghao took Gu Qing up to the 18th floor.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, Gu Qing seemed to be a little scared, and Lin Jinghao could feel that she was leaning on her body: "What's the matter, female ghosts don't come out in broad daylight to be scary." Lin Jinghao said with a smile.
Actually, he was really worried, he didn't know if the two ghosts in the room were still there.
The door to room 1811 was open, and according to the manager, even the waiters were reluctant to come up after another case. However, Lin Jinghao seemed to remember that when he left that night, the door should have been closed by himself.
The house on the top floor was well lit, and everything seemed to have not been touched, except that the sheets in the room had been taken away, because there was the vomit of the deceased on them, and the smell was terrible. Lin Jinghao seemed to be able to feel how crazy the people in the house were at that time.
Walking into the house, Lin Jinghao squatted down, and he checked inch by inch on the ground. Because he has always had a question, why are there only the fingerprints and footprints of the two deceased people in the house? He obviously saw a female ghost coming in in the surveillance, and he heard them say with his own ears, and then another person came. If you say, the person they are talking about is the 'female ghost'. Could it be that she really floated in? Didn't even come to the house and didn't hit the ground?
"Lin Suo, look," Seeing Lin Jinghao looking at the ground, Gu Qing also joined in, and now her fingers were pointing at the foot of one of the big beds.
It was a large white iron bed, usually covered with white sheets all the way to the foot of the bed, so it was difficult to notice anything unusual at the foot of the bed.
"What has been struck here?" Lin Jinghao looked in the direction of Gu Qing's finger, and at the foot of the white bed, there was a mark that had obviously been hit and a piece of paint had fallen off, and it looked like it should be a new seal.
"What should this height be?" Lin Jinghao roughly measured it with his hands, and the height of this trace should be about eight to ten centimeters, which is exactly equivalent to the height of a woman's high heels.
"Gu Qing, how was the female ghost moving in the movie filmed?" If the female ghost is alone, then how did she float in?
"I've seen movies where actresses are standing on a small four-wheeled vehicle, and then someone is pushing and moving in the back."
"Then you say, it's not like the height of a balance bike, if no one pushes it, she controls it herself." Lin Jinghao remembered that he saw someone playing with such an object on the street.
"Lin Suo, do you suspect that the female ghost floated in on a balance bike?"
"Yes, do you remember, the female ghost in the surveillance is wearing a white coat that hangs down to the ground, and we can't see her feet at all."
"Yes, it's really possible. You said that this female ghost, if the balance bike she used was high-end enough, the wheel marks left on the ground would have been very slight, and the point was that she would soon be wiped off by the clothes that were dragged on the ground. It seems that Gu Qing still understands balance bikes.
"If our analysis is correct, this should be the reason why we only found traces of the two deceased." Lin Jinghao's heart finally opened up.
"You take a picture of it and go back to a balance bike to compare the heights." Lin Jinghao said.
"Still, there is a doubt. If this female ghost came in from outside the hotel, why wasn't she noticed by the waiters all the way? Gu Qing said:
"Lin Suo, do you think we should go and retrieve the surveillance video in the lobby that night."
"You go and try it, but I remember that the big tree said at the time that the security guard in the monitoring room said that he had only seen ghosts on the 18th floor, and if he had seen them in the lobby, they would have mentioned it a long time ago." Lin Jinghao stood up, he finally had a little harvest today, and he could finally call it a day.
Lin Jinghao and Gu Qing, accompanied by the manager, came to the hotel monitoring room together. A few minutes later, they saw surveillance footage from the lobby on the night of the crime.
"In fact, we have already checked this video, and there was no abnormal situation in the lobby that night, and the female ghost on the 18th floor appeared suddenly." The security captain said as he played back the video.
"Manager, you will print out a list of the guests who checked in after the two deceased that night, and we will take it back to investigate."
"No problem, I'll ask the front desk to call you out right away. However, Director Lin, you don't mean to say... Those two people were killed by him. The manager said, his face visibly frightened.
"We're just suspicious now, because you've seen it as well, and it was indeed a female ghost who entered their room that night. So..."
"Understood, understood, you suspect that the female ghost is disguised. However, who would be so bored and scaring in the middle of the night. "Looking at the manager, he was a little reluctant to believe this fact. Because if he killed rather than accidentally, then it would be even more difficult for him to explain to the above.
Lin Jinghao couldn't answer this question, he only believed that since such a female ghost appeared, there must be a need to investigate this case.
The mobile phone in his pocket was ringing, Lin Jinghao took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number: "Gu Qing, you tidy up your things, I'll answer the phone." ”
Walking out of the monitoring room, Lin Jinghao answered the phone, and it was a strange woman's soft voice: "May I ask if it is Director Lin?" ”
"You are?"
"I'm Xia Bing."
"Xia Bing?"
"Director Lin, you are really a noble person, we also had dinner together at Sister Feifei's yesterday, you won't forget it so quickly, right?"
"Oh, beautiful model, remember, what's the matter with you?"
"I have some things about Yu Xi, when I was eating, it was not good to say in front of Sister Fei Fei, I don't know when you have time, we can meet and talk alone."
"Okay, then we might as well hit the day on a certain day, and we'll see you after work tonight." Xia Bing's sudden call made Lin Jinghao feel an unexpected feeling in his heart.
He sensed that this woman must have some secret to tell him.
