The results of the investigation were summarized one after another. The medical examiner determined that the time of the victim's death occurred at around 0:15 a.m. Due to the absence of the body, the cause of death is tentatively presumed to be hemorrhagic shock. According to the surveillance footage, the deceased was indeed wearing earrings when he moved in, but the whereabouts of the ornament are currently unknown. Also missing is a room card for room 336.

The luminol reagent showed a large amount of blood stains left in the bathroom and hallway of the room. Surprisingly, however, only the fingerprints of the deceased, the previous guest, and the staff cleaning the hotel were detected from room 336. What caught the criminal police off guard even more was that only a few surveillance cameras placed in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel retained the video data, while the cameras on other floors became decorations. Therefore, on the day of the crime, it is unknown who entered and exited Room 336, and even the specific time when Ni Xianyan herself entered and exited the room has become an unsolved mystery. What's even more bizarre is that the task force roughly investigated the area within 3 kilometers around the hotel, and found no tools for committing the crime and no body parts that were taken away. The detectives immediately began to realize that the case was far more complex than they had anticipated.

In the evening, the doctors who had finished the day's meeting returned to the housekeeping department one after another. As early as the afternoon meeting, rumors of the murder spread. At this time, Miao Yixin took Liu Chuanrong to start another round of visits. The first target of investigation is Jin Hongfu. The room 334 he stayed in was next door to room 336, where the crime occurred, and it was the only room connected to 336.

Hearing about the police's intentions, Director Jin was not surprised.

"Mr. Jin. We found text messages you sent to her in the deceased's phone. Looks like you asked her to the hotel. Miao Yixin's opening was very straightforward.

"That's right."

"Do you know the deceased?"

"I'm her ex-husband, she's my ex-wife."

Jin Hongwei's short sentence instantly rewrote the expressions of the two criminal policemen. What has also been rewritten is the increasingly confusing case.

"When did you get married?"

"Three years ago, free love. Do you want to ask me how I divorced her? ”

Miao Yixin met the doctor's gaze and nodded thoughtfully.

"I broke up with her because of the house, and you may have to ask her current husband for specific reasons."

"But we want to hear from you first."

"Before I married her, I had a house in my name. I still had some money to spare, and her parents had saved a lot of money, so we thought about getting a bigger house. Of course, if you go through the normal procedure, you will have to pay taxes according to the second home, and the area of the house we are looking at is not small. So I divorced her. ”

The plain narrative is like a lead, involving all kinds of past. Jin Hongwei bit his lip as he spoke. The doctor is trying to hide the mental trauma by creating physical pain.

"So you faked your divorce in the first place?"

"Hmm." A trace of unwillingness came to mind, because the development of the follow-up plot greatly deviated from his preset script.

"And then?"

"Then I did the fake drama and broke up in one shot and two times."

"I mean, why did you really disperse? Is it related to her current husband? ”

Seeing that the other party stopped talking. Miao Yixin took out a cigarette and handed it over, along with a faded lighter.

"It's all old men. Nothing. There will always be times in life when you step on poop. ”

Jin Hongwei lit the fire, and as soon as he took a sip, he couldn't stop coughing. Seeing this, Liu Chuanrong unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and sent it over.

"It's clear when you say it."

Jin Hongwei took a sip of water, holding the plastic bottle tightly with both hands. Looking back, the doctor could never regain that sense of security that he had lost.

"When we first bought the house, we found a real estate agent. I'm more introverted, I'm busy with work, and Zhang Luo mainly relies on my daughter-in-law for foreign affairs, no, it's my ex-wife. The real estate agent's surname is Song, he is good-looking, and he will also be clever. One thing to say, he did help us cut a lot of prices when we bought the house. At the time, I thought I had found a treasure to work with him. Unexpectedly, he got along with Xianyan later and kept me in the dark. After the real estate certificate came down, Xianyan said that she wanted to go out alone for a walk. When she left, she went out with two suitcases and insisted that I would not drive her. I stupidly helped her put her suitcase in the trunk of the rental. When she got in the car, she didn't even look back. ”

The man took another puff on his cigarette as he uncovered his scars, but this time he didn't cough. The physical body seems to be more desensitized to harmful substances than the mind.

"Well, she never came back. That's it. ”

"Do you have children?"

"I have a daughter."

"With whom?"

"The child was less than a year old at the time, so he naturally followed her."

"What about the house?"

"The house was also given to her, after all, her name was written on the title deed."

"But didn't you just say that the house was bought with the money of the two of you?"

"Yes. At that time, all the room payment was on her bank card, and then she paid the full amount. ”

"You just gave her the house?"

I also mentioned compensation to her, and she didn't respond after asking two or three times. Forget it. ”

"Didn't think about solving the problem through legal channels?" Yanagawa threw out his own questions,

"Before buying the house, she and I were both divorced, and it's hard to say how far the law can support it. Moreover, this thing is like a thorn in the heart, and if it is pierced too deeply, I don't want to pull it out again. Back and forth, it hurts. ”

Yanagawa smacked, he didn't seem to believe his ears. Millions of people say don't want it, is the man on the other side beaten stupid by fate? The cigarette in Jin Hongfu's hand burned slowly, and the ash broke off on its own, falling on the table without making any sound, as if echoing the silence of everyone.

"Are you still in touch?" Miao Yixin coldly threw out another sentence.

"I occasionally go to her house to see the children. Recently, though, she came to my hospital to see me. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"What else can you do but see a doctor? Is it possible that you can still find me to catch up with the past? The doctor threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray as he spoke, his expression full of disgust.

"You're an expert in heart, so she has a heart problem."

"It's hard to say. She didn't have a thorough examination, so she couldn't pinpoint the cause of her complaining symptoms, and something like neurosis could cause the symptoms she was talking about. ”

"Neurosis?" Yanagawa asked rhetorically, medicine is not a field he is proficient in.

"It's that the sympathetic nerve or vagus nerve is abnormally excited, which can induce palpitations and palpitations."

"Was there a serious problem when she went to the hospital? Apart from health, have you noticed anything abnormal? ”

"I can't tell she's a patient. As for the rest, it's not unusual to be unusually cold to me, hehe. The doctor's self-deprecating tone made people feel a little distressed to watch.

"Regarding the text message on the deceased's mobile phone, you took the initiative to send her the address."

"Well, she sent a message first saying that she wanted to meet me, and I had to stay in the hotel for a week, so I simply sent the address."

"Why is she looking for you?"

"It's nothing, just come and complain to me."

"Grumbling?"

"She doesn't seem to be having a good time after remarrying. The surname Song actually made a move. ”

Hearing this, the two criminal policemen on the other side invariably remembered the old wound in the corner of the deceased's eye.

"Is she just there to complain to you? Or is there some other attempt? ”

"Other attempts?"

"Like, getting back together with you?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm just a pawn, I was and will be. Oh no, there shouldn't be any more. ”

"Where exactly did you meet, is this it?"

"No, it's at the bar on the ground floor."

"Gone drinking?"

"Questions?"

"You don't look like a drinker."

"So I got drunk after a few drinks."

"What time does the meeting last from what time?"

"Meet at 9 p.m."

"Yesterday?"

"Yes, it's about 1 hour or so, I drank too much and can't remember the time."

"She sent you back to your room, right?"

"It should be."

"What did you do when you got back to your room?"

"Huh?" Jin Hongwei raised his eyebrows, his expression slightly embarrassed.

"Don't get me wrong, did you continue to chat or something?"

"I don't remember, I should have just slept through it. After that, she left on her own. ”

"What about time?"

Jin Hongwei shook his head instead of answering. On the other side, Liu Chuanrong also shook his head.

"She opened a room in this hotel to see you, what do you think?"

"Maybe it's not to see me, it's just that you don't want to go back."

"Don't want to go back?"

"As I said, she hasn't been happy since she remarried."

"And you slept until morning?"

"Then I woke up."

"Oh?"

"Because of thirst. Mosquitoes have been buzzing since then. ”

"What time did you wake up?"

"Hmm...... About zero o'clock. ”

"Have you ever been out of the room since you woke up?"

"Let's go downstairs to the front desk."

"Why?"

"Ask the hotel for mosquito repellent liquid."

"Wouldn't it be nice to call the front desk to notify you of this kind of thing?"

"I called the front desk, and the manager immediately sent mosquito coils, but the things sent were defective and not easy to use. I was so annoyed that I went down myself. ”

"What about time?"

"Half past one in the morning."

"When you went out, did you notice anything unusual in room 336 next door?"

Jin Hongwei pretended to ponder, "To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to it. ”

"In the middle of the night, did you hear the sound in the next room?"

"Noise?"

"Like an argument, a fight, or something else."

"Hmm...... I vaguely heard a knock on the door, but I used to wear earplugs when I slept outside, and I couldn't hear it clearly. ”

"What time is it?"

"To be honest, I'm not quite sure if it's thunder. The last time I looked at my phone before going to bed was at 2:20. ”

"Which waiter at the front desk delivered the electric mosquito coil to your room?"

"It seems to be a manager surnamed Yang with a hairstyle of two hairs."

"Oh? Do you know what her last name is? Miao Yixin asked questions without thinking.

"Hmm. Because I have the go-up gas and didn't have a very good attitude at the front desk, but the manager has always been polite. So I glanced at her number plate. ”

"What time was the first time mosquito repellent was delivered to your room?"

"It seems like 0:25."

"Did you take the initiative to contact Ni Xianyan after you woke up?"

"Nope."

"Why?"

"Not why. Why should I be so courteous to her? ”

"So you still hate her, don't you?" Yanagawa Rong's question was a little unexpected.

"You're confirming my motive for killing, aren't you?" The doctor's answer was a for tat.

"This is our routine, please understand."

"Someone cuckolded and cheated millions, if it were you, what would you think?" Jin Hongwei's reply was undisguised, but the object of hatred he revealed seemed to mean something else. And this did not escape Miao Yixin's eyes.

"You sent the address to the victim and sent out an 'offer.'"

"Since she's still my patient, I want to see how she's doing. As a doctor, I have my own professional ethics. "The doctor put himself on the moral high ground, and his words are a little far-fetched.

"Then let's talk about Ni Xianyan. What kind of person is she? What enemies are there? ”

"It's sensual and impulsive, but it's cute. I don't ask much about her interpersonal interactions. As for whether there is an enemy, I don't know, maybe you should ask her current husband. Jin Hongwei seemed reluctant to talk about the woman who had reshaped his worldview, and Miao Yixin had no choice but to decide to stop for the time being.

"Then I'll get here today. If you have anything else to add to this case, please feel free to contact us. Of course, we will also contact you if necessary. ”

Jin Hongwei took the note with his mobile phone number, but did not answer. After sending the two detectives away, the doctor picked up the bottle of mineral water on the table and drank it all.

Stepping out of the door of room 334, the two criminal police officers did not communicate, but walked straight to the door of room 335 diagonally opposite. Room 335 is located on the other side of the corridor, opposite rooms 334 and 336, in between. Just as Miao Yixin was about to knock on the door, she unexpectedly found that there were two pieces of glue above the cat's eye of the door arranged in an "inverted figure-eight" shape. Deputy Koyanagi noticed Big Brother's gaze, so he took out his mobile phone to take a picture for the certificate.

"Team Miao, could this be related to the case?"

"It's hard to say. Consult the technical department to see if you can extract fingerprints. ”

"Understood."

Knock knock. The person who opened the door was Director Ruan Huaibing. No more calm than Jin Hongwei, Dr. Ruan was really startled by the "uniform" in front of him, he instinctively took two steps back, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"We are from the Public Security Bureau, and we would like to ask you some questions about the case that just happened."

"Oh, come in, then." Ruan Huaibing, who was dressed in a bathrobe, brushed his wet hair, and it seemed that he had just taken a shower.

"Tell us about your own activities on the 10th, which was last night."

"I went to the restaurant at 7 p.m. and then went back to my room to prepare for this morning's speech. It was almost 11 p.m. when I went to bed and lay down, but I couldn't sleep all the time. It was about 2 o'clock at night before I fell asleep. ”

"Are you always alone in your room when you come back?"

"Hmm."

"Haven't been out yet?"

"Didn't go out."

"You ate dinner alone, too?"

"Yes. I was going to eat with my colleagues, but he said he had made an appointment. ”

"This colleague refers to Jin Hongwei?"

"Yes, this summit, we are in the hospital."

"Did he reveal his identity to you?"

"He said it was a patient. Didn't say much else. ”

The two criminal policemen looked at each other and tacitly remembered Ni Xianyan.

"I said don't think about it. He has been single for almost a year, and he usually doesn't have much contact with people. If you can look at the right patient, that's a good thing. Ruan Huaibing's self-justification is quite presentable.

"Then let's talk about your impression of Jin Hongwei."

"Pragmatic, not much to say. Responsible.,But I like to put things in my stomach.。 ”

"Is jealous strong? Holding a grudge? Yanagawa Rong's question is very guided.

"Are you suspicious of Director Jin?"

"We're getting to know everybody. Suspicion of everyone when necessary. The more details you say, the more you can clear his suspicions. ”

"He has a strong sense of justice, but he is not the kind that will be retribution." Ruan Huaibing said only submissively and was in a dilemma, "He is a good old man, and he is very popular in our department." ”

"Has he shown any signs of abnormality in the past two days?"

"Nope. At least I didn't notice. I've been busy with my own speeches these days, and I've been too busy with others. ”

"What hobbies does Jin Hongfu have, and what do you do after work?" A person's personality traits can be indirectly inferred from their interests and hobbies. For example, people who love to play extreme sports tend to have a higher appetite for risk.

"Hobbies, he seems to love chess, and his level is quite high. I won the first place in the competition organized by our school. He usually leaves work late and prefers to stay in the hospital office. ”

"I heard he's been divorced, right?"

"Hehe, divorce is not illegal."

"Do you know why?"

"We generally don't take the initiative to inquire about this kind of thing. I heard that his wife ran away with someone else. Director Jin is such a good honest man, hey. ”

"Do you know the dead?"

"Looks familiar."

"Do you have any impression that the deceased's name is Ni Xianyan?"

"How could it be her, isn't she Director Jin's ex-wife, such a good-looking person."

"Good-looking?"

"It's nothing, but it's pretty good-looking." Ruan Huaibing's words were ambiguous, in fact, he was Ni Xianyan's admirer, from the first time he saw Ni Xianyan. Of course, for this careful thinking, Ruan Huaibing naturally chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Have you met the dead?"

"Before they got married, Ms. Ni used to come to the hospital to pick up Director Jin from work, and she was familiar with the people in our department."

Yes, Ni Xianyan and her ex-husband's colleagues are familiar with each other, but other doctors only remember her face, but Ruan Huaibing quietly remembered her name, and it was when the other party was not married. The reason for this is self-evident.

The subsequent investigations were all side-by-side inquiries, and Director Ruan's answers were always fragmented, more or less subjective with the color of "favoritism". The two detectives came to only one conclusion from him - the doctor did not believe that his colleague could be a murderer. If Jin Hongwei is not the murderer, then who will be the real murderer?
