Before they knew it, it was already noon, and the two hurriedly ate lunch.

"Is anyone in the technical department right now?" Zhao Gang asked Qin Tian.

"Yes! Xiao Liu is here! She's been stepping up what you're sending! ”

"Okay, let's go now."

With that, Zhao Gang urged Qin Tian and walked out of the office.

The two came to the technical department, and most of the colleagues had already gone to lunch. Only Xiao Liu is still busy.

"Xiao Liu, are you alone?" Zhao Gang shouted at Xiao Liu, who was busy.

Xiao Liu looked back, "Oh, Brother Zhao! They're all eating! ”

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'll eat it later, don't rush."

"Then don't starve yourself to lose weight!" Zhao Gang quipped.

"Oh, it's good to be hungry and thin! I wish I had lost some weight. Xiao Liu said with a smile.

"Don't lose weight anymore, with your current body, it's fine." Qin Tian on the side said.

"Come on, you didn't see those well-figured women!"

"Really, you're in just right shape now, don't lose any more." Qin Tian said.

"Okay, okay, it's good if you say it's good, anyway, you're talking nonsense." Xiao Liu said with a smile.

"Alright, let's get down to business!" Zhao Gang asked, "Did we send those two cups, did they get results?" ”

"It's better to come early than to come at a good time!" Xiao Liu said with a smile.

"Got a result?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Freshly baked." As he spoke, Xiao Liu took a few reports to Zhao Gang.

"Tell me what the result is." Qin Tian asked.

"The fingerprints extracted from the lady's coffee cup match those on the hook. The fingerprints extracted from the men's teacups did not match. DNA was extracted from the saliva left on both cups, but it did not match the skin tissue between the deceased's fingernails. ”

"It doesn't match? That is to say, the skin tissue remaining in the fingernails of the deceased is not the deceased's own, nor the person who used the two cups. But someone else? Qin Tian asked.

"Yes." Xiao Liu replied.

"Okay, we got it. Thank you, Xiao Liu! Zhao Gang thanked Xiao Liu.

"You're welcome!"

"Then let's go first, thank you for your hard work, you can hurry up and eat!" Zhao Gang said.

"Okay, you guys go slowly!"

After speaking, Zhao Gang and Qin Tian took the report and left the technical department.

As soon as they returned to their office, Qin Tian sat down on the chair with his head down, sighed, and said, "It's hard to do now!" ”

"What's so hard to do?"

"Case! The skin tissue in the deceased's nails is not Annie's, nor Wang Kai's, nor her own, so whose else could it be? It's Xiaomei! It seems that Anne and Wang Kai are really not murderers, Xiaomei is the murderer! But now, Xiaomei has disappeared, and the identity of the deceased is unknown, where can we find it? ”

"It's true that it's tricky right now. However, it is still impossible to determine whether Anne was the murderer. After all, her fingerprints were extracted from the hook. ”

"So, I can't figure it out! Could it be that Xiaomei killed the deceased, and Annie killed Xiaomei? Qin Tian said, shaking his head again, "No, no, no." Anne left before Mei disappeared! ”

"The fingerprints on the hook do not mean that Anne is the murderer. Because we didn't find the nail, and we didn't find the head of the deceased, or, Xiaomei's body. ”

"How do you explain the fingerprints on it?"

"It's simple. Because the house was originally rented by Anne, it can be said that she replaced the hook herself at that time. In the absence of other evidence, the fingerprints of the hook do not prove that Anne is the murderer. ”

"I now feel that Anne and Wang Kai are not murderers at all. The skin tissue in the fingernails of the deceased had nothing to do with them. Moreover, they did not have time to commit crimes. ”

"Do you think Xiaomei is the murderer?"

"Yes. It's just a pity that I can't find where the little beauty is now. ”

"No, there must be something we overlooked." Zhao Gang shook his head, he was still confused.

"You're still suspicious of Annie?"

"I think Anne has a motive for the crime."

"What about Wang Kai? Do you doubt him too? ”

"Wang Kai, I'm not sure."

However, judging from the surveillance, the two did not have the time to commit the crime! Moreover, the time when they were suspicious was nothing more than the time when they went to move the flowers. However, they made it clear what happened and the details of that time. I didn't find any problems! ”

"It just feels like everything is perfect. That's why I suspect it. Zhao Gang said.

"Could it be that neither of us is lying, so we can't find a flaw?"

"Think about it, the two of them went into the hotel, why didn't they come out? Under normal circumstances, you should also go out for a walk and breathe! However, they prepared a large number of snacks before they went, as if they were well prepared. Zhao Gang said.

"The two of them were well prepared. People weren't prepared to come out in the first place. That's why I prepared so many snacks. ”

"No, I feel like they're preparing so many snacks to meet our cross-examination."

"You mean, they expected the police to investigate them today? That's ridiculous, isn't it? ”

"It does sound incredible. But that's where they come in. ”

"So, what about when they committed the crime? Judging from the surveillance, they did not have the time to commit the crime. Qin Tian said.

"That's what makes me weird. However, the stray cat incident made me suspicious of Anne. If it was really some little animal that died, then there was no need for her to lie to Linglong, just tell the truth. However, she made up such a story to fool Linglong, what does that mean? That means that it must not be a small animal that died, but a human being. ”

"By 'dead', who is dead? Decedent? Or Xiaomei? ”

"Anne's original words were 'She died because of you', and she died because of Wang Kai, so who could it be? I can't think of a second person other than Xiaomei. I think Xiaomei is more likely. ”

"If what Anne said is really Xiaomei, it means that at that time, they already knew that Xiaomei was dead. However, how did they know that Xiaomei was dead? Unless, or one of them, is the murderer. ”

"There is one more question, where did Xiaomei die? When did you die? Zhao Gang asked.

"If Xiaomei is really dead, it must be outside the community. Because in the surveillance, we saw that the last time she was seen was on the night of the thirteenth, she walked out of the community. After that, he never came back. Qin Tian thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Xiaomei was killed outside after leaving the community?" ”

"Can't you find Xiaomei's course of action after leaving the community?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Can't find it. The road outside the community is not monitored, and there are several small alleys around it, and there is no surveillance. So, we can't track where Xiaomei went. Qin Tian said.

"Did Mei go out at the same time as usual that night?"

"It's not the same. She went out at eleven o'clock that night. ”

"After eleven? That means she shouldn't be going to work. So what is she going out for? Zhao Gang thought.

"I don't know! Supposedly, it's so late, and she doesn't have to go to work, I really don't know what she's going out for! ”

"Was there anything unusual about her when she went out?"

"Strange?" Qin Tian thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be a little strange. But I can't say it, it feels weird. ”

"Weird?" Qin Tian's words immediately attracted Zhao Gang's attention, and Zhao Gang hurriedly asked, "What's weird?" ”

"I just think that Xiaomei seems to be a little different that day. However, the specific situation is different. I can't tell. ”

"Why didn't you bring it up at the time?"

"Hey, I didn't find anything special at the time, I thought it was just my psychological effect, so I didn't care."

"Go and put the surveillance out there again." Zhao Gang said.

"Okay." Qin Tian agreed.

Soon, Qin Tian called up that section of monitoring.

(b)

Zhao Gang and Qin Tian sat in front of the screen, staring carefully at the surveillance screen in front of them.

The picture goes back and forth, looping the video of Xiaomei walking out of the community.

"That's it, I feel weird." Qin Tian said to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang looked at the screen carefully for a long time.

"It does feel a little weird. I just don't know what's weird. Zhao Gang said.

Next, he seemed to remember something, and asked Qin Tian: "This person, are you sure it's Xiaomei?" ”

"It's Xiaomei, that's right." Qin Tian replied affirmatively.

"How can you be sure she's Xiaomei? She wore glasses, and her hair almost covered her face. How did you recognize that? Zhao Gang asked.

"Look at the clothes! This dress is the clothes that Xiaomei often wore in the past. Leather jackets, short skirts. Moreover, Xiaomei was originally wearing glasses, and her hair has always been long curls. You can see this from her previous videos. ”

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "Find me the video of her wearing this outfit before." ”

"Okay." Qin Tian agreed.

Soon, he found a video of Xiaomei's previous outfit being the same as this one.

"I found Brother Zhao! You see, this is the video of Xiaomei wearing this dress before. Qin Tian pointed to the screen and said to Zhao Gang.

In the picture, Xiaomei is wearing the same leather coat, short skirt, the same bag, and the same glasses. It's just that, that day, her hair was tied up.

Zhao Gang looked at the video and said, "This hair is tied up, and you can see your face clearly." However, the one just now, the hair was draped, and even the face was covered. I can't see the face clearly. ”

"Oh, Xiaomei sometimes goes out, and her hair is also draped. Not necessarily. Qin Tian said.

Then, he said: "Judging from the dress, the clothes, skirts, and bags are all the same. It should be Xiaomei! ”

Zhao Gang looked at the video carefully again and said, "Not necessarily." ”

"Not necessarily? What do you mean? ”

"This person is not Xiaomei." Zhao Gang looked at Qin Tian and said.

Qin Tian's eyes widened in surprise and said, "What did you say?" …… Isn't she Xiaomei? ”

"Didn't you say before that you felt weird?" Zhao Gang asked Qin Tian.

"yes!"

"Do you know why you think it's weird?"

"I don't know."

"If you take a closer look, what is the difference between these two videos?" Zhao Gang said, put the previous video out again, and compared the two videos together.

Qin Tian looked at it again and again, shook his head, and said, "I don't see anything different!" ”

"Do you feel weird then?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Well, I still feel that way." Qin Tian said.

"That's right." Zhao Gang looked at Qin Tian and said, "Because these two people are not the same person at all." ”

Qin Tian was very strange and asked, "How do you know it's not the same person?" ”

Zhao Gang pointed to the screen and said, "Look at the way they walk, is there a difference?" ”

Qin Tian took a closer look and suddenly said, "Well, there is a difference. See! ”

"What's the difference?" Zhao Gang asked.

"It feels like it's normal for Xiaomei to walk before. This person walks, as if he is a little inward. Qin Tian said.

"Not bad. This person walks with an inner figure, and because she is wearing a short skirt, it looks strange. Zhao Gang said.

"I see! I said how I feel weird all the time. Qin Tian said, "Then, this person is definitely not Xiaomei." So who is she? ”

"Think about it, have you ever met this person?"

Qin Tian thought for a moment and said, "No." ”

"No, that's because you haven't looked closely."

"You mean, this man, we know?" Qin Tian asked.

Zhao Gang did not answer. Instead, the previous video of Anne was released.

Zhao Gang said to Qin Tian: "Take a closer look. What is the difference between these two? ”

Qin Tian looked at it and said, "Isn't this person Annie?" ”

"Yes. See what's the difference between these two? ”

Qin Tian nodded. He looked at the video carefully and said, "These two people are dressed differently, but the posture of walking is exactly the same!" Moreover, the height of the two, fat and thin, both look the same. ”

"So, it's time to draw conclusions." Zhao Gang said.

"This Xiaomei is not Xiaomei. She was the one Anne was impersonating. Zhao Gang said, slapping his thigh.

"That's right. That person was Anne. It's just that because Anne and Xiaomei's bodies are very similar, everyone didn't notice it before. ”

"In that case, there must be something wrong with this Anne." Qin Tian said.

"That's right. Anne did this, and everything was well explained. Zhao Gang said.

"But, didn't Anne come out of the community with flowers before? I didn't see her go in! Qin Tian wondered.

"She can come out with makeup as Xiaomei, and of course she can also put on makeup as someone else." Zhao Gang said.

"I see. Anne walks with an inner figure, which should be easily recognizable even if she wears makeup. ”

"So, after moving flowers from Anne to Xiaomei coming out of the community, the video of this period of time will be called up, and if you check it carefully, there will definitely be clues."

With that, the two began to check the surveillance again, trying to find the video of Anne dressing up as someone else and infiltrating the community.

However, they looked back and forth several times during this period of time, and did not find the person they were looking for.

"This can't be! How could it not be? Qin Tian was very puzzled.

"Could it be that we haven't looked at it carefully enough? Missing? ”

"However, we have looked at it several times, but we have not found the woman who walks in the figure-eight! Could it be that she made up to be a man? Qin Tian boldly guessed.

"No, it won't. Anne is small, and it is not appropriate to make up a man. Moreover, men have short hair, which is even more unsuitable for covering their faces. In this way, it is not easy to find. Besides, we didn't see any of the men in this who were inside! ”

Qin Tian thought for a moment and said, "Also, no matter whether it is male or female, there is no one with eight characters in it." Could it be that Anne didn't actually go in? ”

"No way. If she didn't put on makeup, she wouldn't have been able to come out dressed as Xiaomei. Zhao Gang said.

"That's weird, could it be that Anne flew in?"

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any other entrances and exits in their community?" ”

"Nope. I looked into it the first time I went. The doorman also said that the whole community is just one entrance. ”

"In that case, one of the people in this video must have been made up by Anne." Zhao Gang said with certainty.

"But, we've all read it several times, and there's no inner eight characters!"

Zhao Gang paused, as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked at Qin Tian and said mysteriously: "It's not that there are no inner eight characters, it's that we didn't see her inner eight characters." ”

"What do you mean? What do we mean we don't see? ”

"The inner eight characters can be disguised."

"How to cover it up?"

"Wear a long dress." Zhao Gang said.

Qin Tian suddenly realized, "So that's the case!" I said, "Why didn't you see it?" Then he added, "I remember, I just saw a man in a long dress. ”

With that, Qin Tian hurriedly went to find the woman in the long skirt.

Soon, he found the man.

The man had long, straight hair and large glasses, and his hair hung down to cover both sides of his face. A loose blouse on the upper body and a long skirt on the lower body. Carrying a small white bag, small and delicate. Although her figure is not visible in this outfit, her height is very similar to Anne.

"This should be the person." Qin Tian said.

"Zoom in and take a look." Zhao Gang said.

Qin Tian enlarged the surveillance screen. However, this person walked with his head buried throughout his walking, and with his hair and glasses covering him, he couldn't see his face at all, and it was impossible to identify whether this person was Anne or not.

"I can't see it! The face is all blocked! Qin Tian said.

Zhao Gang took a closer look, but he really couldn't see his face clearly.

"Moreover, she is wearing a long skirt, and she can't tell if it's an inner figure!" Qin Tian added, "Then this person, is it Annie?" ”

"Judging from this picture alone, it's really impossible to judge." Zhao Gang said.

"However, we have watched the video back and forth a few times, and this one is more suspicious in a long dress. If she wasn't Anne, she wouldn't be able to find anyone who was Anne. Qin Tian said.

"I have a feeling that this person is Anne. Although her face and figure are invisible, her height is very similar to Anne's. Zhao Gang said.

"But height alone doesn't mean much! What if she wasn't Anne? ”

Zhao Gang fell into deep thought, and he didn't know how to prove that this person was Annie.

"Hey, even if we know that this person is Anne, we can't prove it!" Qin Tian sighed and said helplessly.

Zhao Gang stared at the video again and watched it carefully.

Suddenly, he shouted, "I know! ”

"Know what?" Qin Tian was taken aback by Zhao Gang's sudden shout.

"I'm pretty sure this person is Anne."

"Where did you see that? Anne is short-haired, and this person is long-haired. And I can't see my face, and I can't tell if she is walking with a figure inside. How can you be so sure that this person is Anne? ”

"From her bag." Zhao Gang said, zooming in on the video screen and seeing clearly the small white bag that this person was carrying.

"Is that the little white bag?" Qin Tian asked.

"Not bad."

"However, it's normal for a woman to carry a bag! Nothing strange about it. ”

"It's normal. However, this bag, I just happened to have seen it. Zhao Gang said.

"Have you seen it? Where is it? ”

"At Anne's house."

"Anne's home? Why didn't I see it! ”

"At the time, the bag was in the corner of the sofa. Because it's small, it's hard to notice. ”

"But how do you know it's Anne's? What if, it's exquisite? ”

"It's simple. Just call and ask Linglong. Zhao Gang said.

Zhao Gang picked up the phone and was about to dial. After thinking for a while, he handed the phone to Qin Tian and said, "You come!" ”

"Why? Aren't you playing the same? Qin Tian asked.

"The last time I touched Anne's flowers, Linglong was very angry. It's better for you to fight, I see that she has no rejection of you. ”

"But I didn't pay attention to the bag! I don't know what that bag looks like! Qin Tian said.

"Look at this, it's exactly like this one." As he spoke, Zhao Gang gradually enlarged the surveillance screen.

When zoomed in, the bag can be seen clearly. It is a wallet-sized clutch with a coconut tree, sand, and ocean motif on the front.

"Is that what it looks like?" Qin Tian asked.

"That's all. You just ask. ”

"Alright then!"

As he spoke, Qin Tian took the phone and dialed Linglong's mobile phone.

Soon, the call was connected. A delicate voice came from inside. "Hello?"

"Hello Linglong, I'm Qin Tian from the Qinghe Police Station. Are you convenient now? You find a place where no one is around, I have something I want to ask you. ”

"Oh, okay, you wait a minute."

With that, Linglong took the phone and walked out of the office.

"Officer Qin, hello. I'm out now. What do you have to ask me? ”

"Oh, yes. The last time I went to your house, I saw a white clutch in the corner of your couch. Is that bag yours? ”

"A white clutch?" Linglong thought for a moment, "I don't have a white clutch!" ”

"That bag has a picture of coconut trees, sand and ocean. The bag is relatively small, only slightly larger than a wallet. ”

"Oh, I remember." Linglong said, "That bag is not mine. It's Annie's. ”

"Oh, that's it! Do you know where she bought it? ”

"That's what she brought back when she went on a business trip to Sanya. She said it was more local. So, I brought one. ”

"Oh, okay, I got it."

"Why are you asking about this all of a sudden? Is there anything wrong with that bag? Linglong asked curiously.

"Oh nothing, I just think that bag is very small and chic, and it looks good, I want to buy one for my sister, but I don't know where to buy it."

"Oh yes! You're so nice to your sister. Linglong said with a smile.

"Who made me my brother!" Qin Tian said.

"That's all you ask?" Linglong asked.

"Huh?" Qin Tian was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes! ”

"Then why did you call me out! Just ask! ”

"No, Anne didn't know about the last time we went to your house. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to be with her, and I don't want to trouble you. ”

"Oh, that's it!"

"Nothing! Well, thank you, Linglong! ”

"You're welcome!"

After speaking, Qin Tian hung up the phone. He turned to Zhao Gang and said, "That bag is Annie's." Sanya bought. ”

"It seems that our guess is correct. This woman is Anne. Zhao Gang said.

"If she's really Annie, then what is she going to do in the community now?"

"Since she went in disguise, she must have done something shady. Moreover, it cannot be recognized. ”

"Could it be that she was a premeditated murderer? It was at this time that she went in and killed Xiaomei? Then, pretending to be Xiaomei to come out of it again? ”

"I don't know yet."

"However, if she really went to kill Xiaomei, what about Xiaomei's corpse? We didn't find Xiaomei's body! Moreover, the female corpse in the refrigerator, what is going on? Did Xiaomei kill Annie? ”

Since Anne came out wearing Xiaomei's clothes, it means that she must have nothing to do with Xiaomei's disappearance. It is even possible that she killed Xiaomei. ”

"Then, what about Xiaomei's corpse?"

"I don't know."

"And who is the woman in the refrigerator?"

"There are still a lot of questions about this case. Where is Xiaomei's body, and who is the woman in the refrigerator. These are the answers we have not yet found. ”

"At present, it can be determined that Anne and Xiaomei's disappearance are inseparable, and Xiaomei is likely to be dead. And the residual tissue in the nails of the female corpse in the refrigerator has nothing to do with Anne and Wang Kai, does that mean that the corpse in the refrigerator has nothing to do with Anne and Wang Kai? ”

"Just a little residual skin tissue in the deceased's fingernails can't clear the suspicion of Anne and Wang Kai."

"Even if the female corpse in the refrigerator has nothing to do with Anne, then she may have killed Xiaomei. However, how did she do it, a woman, and she wanted to kill people and hide corpses? ”

"Perhaps, she's not alone at all."

"You mean, Wang Kai also participated in the killing?"

"Their tone is very uniform, they all say that they have not come out since they entered the hotel. If Annie came out to kill someone, would Wang Kai not know? So, the two of them actually discussed. ”

"If Wang Kai was really involved in the killing, or he knew that Anne had killed someone. Then why did he go to Xiaomei again later, and he went there twice? It doesn't make sense! ”

"That's where they come in. They are doing this to mislead us. Let's think that Wang Kai didn't know about Xiaomei's disappearance. ”

"It's horrible! I can even think of this. Qin Tian said, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Take a look at the time of these videos." Zhao Gang said to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian looked at the time of the surveillance video, the time when this woman entered the community was five o'clock in the afternoon.

And the time when Anne and Wang Kai moved out of the community was at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Qin Tian called up the surveillance video of the Star Hotel again, and found that the time when the two of them went to the hotel to open a room was three o'clock.

"Brother Zhao, Anne and Wang Kai will go to the Star Hotel to open a room at three o'clock! And this man in a long skirt went in at five o'clock. In this way, could it be that after Anne and Wang Kai opened the room, they left the hotel? ”

"That's right. Going to the hotel to open a room is nothing more than an alibi that they have prepared for themselves. ”

"However, judging from the hotel's surveillance, they really haven't come out since they entered the hotel!"

"It should be the same routine. Disguise. Zhao Gang said.

In that case, Wang Kai should have also disguised himself into the community. However, we didn't see Wang Kai in the monitoring of the community? ”

"I guess we didn't find out. Since it's a disguise, it's definitely not easy to be discovered. ”

"Well, let's take another look at that video! Let's see if we can see Wang Kai. Qin Tian said.

So, the two took a closer look at the surveillance video.

However, they have all watched the men in the video carefully, and none of them are Wang Kai.

"What's going on? No one is Wang Kai. Could it be that Wang Kai didn't enter the community at all? Qin Tian said.

Zhao Gang was also puzzled. "If Wang Kai really didn't go in, then how did Anne kill and hide the corpse alone?"

"If Wang Kai really didn't go in, isn't it, can he be ruled out?" Qin Tian said, "I think, judging from the fact that Wang Kai went to Xiaomei twice later, I think this matter should have nothing to do with him." ”

Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "I still don't believe that Wang Kai has nothing to do with this matter. Anne couldn't do these things alone. ”

"Is it possible that Anne did it without Wang Kai?" Qin Tian said.

"If Wang Kai doesn't know, why should he cooperate with Anne to lie and say that they have been in the hotel?"

Perhaps, Wang Kai only found out much later. For some reason, he decided to help Anne hide it. That's why the two colluded to make up those stories. ”

"But the stories are all too well written. Especially the process of their hygiene, I think, they are too detailed, too accurate. It's hard to describe the details so accurately if you don't actually do it. ”

"That means that when they went to move the flowers, they did clean up. So, no matter how we look for it, there is no loophole in their words. ”

"If that's the case, then the killing should have happened after they moved the flowers away."

Qin Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Zhao, is it possible, we were wrong?" The man in the long dress was not Anne at all. Anne did stay with Wang Kai in the hotel. ”

"So, what about the little white bag? Is it really just a coincidence? Zhao Gang asked.

"What if it's just that coincidental! After all, it's just an ordinary bag, and anyone can buy it. ”

"So, what about the person who came out pretending to be Xiaomei? Could it be that we are also mistaken? Zhao Gang asked.

"Although that person looks very much like Anne. However, we can also infer from the inner eight characters of her walking. Could it be that we are inferring wrong? ”

"You mean, there is someone else who is pretending to be Xiaomei?"

"I don't know. However, that person looked so much like Anne. ”

"Walking in the figure-eight, the small white bag in the hand, there will not be so many coincidences. That's all, it is enough to prove that the person who went in in a long skirt, and the person who came out pretending to be Xiaomei, is Anne. ”

"However, we didn't see Anne come out in the hotel's surveillance! Moreover, I didn't see this person in a long dress appear in the hotel? Wouldn't Anne be wearing this dress if she came out of the hotel? ”

Zhao Gang thought for a while and said, "She may not come out in a long skirt." Perhaps, after she came out of the hotel with a change of clothes, she changed into another suit before entering the community. ”

"You're saying she changed her outfit when she left the hotel, and she changed another outfit before she entered the neighborhood?"

"Possibly."

"Then this woman is too careful to think about it!" Qin Tian felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead.

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and asked Qin Tian: "That hotel, does there only one entrance and exit in the lobby?" ”

"Yes. I confirmed it when I went to monitor it. Their manager said that they only had one entrance and exit to the hall. To enter and exit the hotel, guests must pass through the lobby. Qin Tian replied.

"Don't they have employee access or something?"

"Yes. However, their staff passage is right next to the lobby. ”

"Can the surveillance capture it?"

"Yes! The surveillance at the entrance of the hall can be filmed. As he spoke, Qin Tian pointed to a surveillance screen and said, "Look, this is the employee channel." ”

Zhao Gang looked at it, and sure enough, the staff passage was next to the hall, and the surveillance was clearly photographed.

"I know what you're thinking? You're worried they're going to get out of the employee tunnel, aren't you? Qin Tian smiled and said, "I've already seen it, no." ”

"Then, can the surveillance in their hall capture every corner of the hall?"

"Yes. The surveillance of their lobby is fully covered, and I've copied all the footage. However, I have already seen all of them, and I have not seen Anne and Wang Kai out of the hotel. ”

"Play the video again, and we'll watch it again to see if there's anything missing."

"Okay." Qin Tian agreed.

Qin Tian released the surveillance video from all corners of the hotel lobby.

"Anne must have come out in disguise. However, no matter how she dressed, she walked in a figure-eight figure, and she couldn't change that. So, be sure to focus on the people who walk inside the figure-eight and the people who wear skirts. Zhao Gang commanded.

"Well, good!"

So, the two began to stare intently at the surveillance screen again.

They looked at everyone who came out of the hotel, including those who came out of the staff passage. But no clues were found.

"Brother Zhao, everyone who comes out of the hotel, we have seen it, and there is indeed no Annie!"

"It's weird!" Brother Zhao was also puzzled, "Could it be that we still missed something?" ”

"No way. The people in here didn't walk at all. Even if there is a dress, I have looked at it carefully, and I can see the face, and it is not Annie. ”

"Are we really wrong? They really didn't leave the hotel? ”

"It's a pity that the hotel doesn't have floor monitoring, otherwise you can see if they are out of the room."

Zhao Gang suddenly remembered: "What about elevator monitoring?" ”

"I've seen the elevator monitoring, but no."

"That's right. If Anne really dressed up in disguise, she probably wouldn't have taken the elevator. She should choose to take the stairs. After all, the room they opened was on the third floor and they didn't need to take the elevator. ”

"However, we have also checked the people who came out of the stairs, and there is no Annie!"

Zhao Gang scratched his head with his hand and said, "What went wrong?" ”

"Could it be, we're really wrong?" Qin Tian said tentatively.

"I think we'd better go to the Star Hotel again. I trust our judgment. Perhaps, it's just that we're missing something. Zhao Gang said.

"Good. Then go again. Qin Tian replied.

"Hello two officers. I'm Manager Wang of Star Hotel. ”

"Hello, Manager Wang. We've seen it. Qin Tian said to Manager Wang, "This is Officer Zhao." ”

"Ah yes, I remember you, Officer Qin." Manager Wang smiled and said, "What else do you need to know about the two of you coming today?" ”

"It's the same thing as before." Qin Tian said, "About Wang Kai and Anne opening a house here. ”

"Oh, didn't you already investigate that last time you came? You also took the surveillance video? ”

"Yes. However, there are some things that we would like to verify again. Qin Tian said.

"Oh, well! What else do you want to verify? ”

"Please help us see their opening and check-out times." Zhao Gang next to him said.

"Okay, please wait."

With that, Manager Wang led them to the front desk.

"Xiao Liu, check the check-in information of the guests named Wang Kai and Annie." Manager Wang said to the little sister at the front desk.

"Good manager!" Xiao Liu replied.

Soon, Xiao Liu called up the check-in information of the two.

"The room opened on the afternoon of December 13, and the room left at 10 a.m. on the 15th." Xiao Liu said.

"Which room are they opening?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Room 302." Xiao Liu replied

"Did they leave the room halfway through?" Zhao Gang asked.

"We don't know about that." Xiao Liu said.

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and asked, "Your room has to be cleaned every day, right?" ”

"Yes. We have to do housekeeping every day. Xiao Liu said.

"So, when you were cleaning, was there anyone in the room?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Normally, we have to do housekeeping every day. However, because the guests have explained that they do not do hygiene when they check in, we note here that we do not do room service. Xiao Liu said.

"You mean, they said they didn't clean when they checked in?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Yes. Because some guests want to have a good rest and don't want to be disturbed. Therefore, when the guest explains that he does not do hygiene, we will make a note, so that the cleaning attendant will not clean the room. ”

Zhao Gang and Qin Tian glanced at each other, and they both seemed to feel strange.

"So, their room, are there any other expenses?" Zhao Gang asked again.

"There were some items in the room at your own expense. However, none of them consumed. Xiao Liu replied.

"Okay, thank you!" Zhao Gang said.

Suddenly, Manager Wang seemed to remember something. He asked Xiao Liu again: "You just said that they checked in on the afternoon of December 13th, and the room number is 302?" ”

"That's right, Manager Wang!" Xiao Liu replied.

Manager Wang seemed to be suddenly recalling something.

"What's the matter, Manager Wang, is there any problem?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Nothing. I suddenly remembered that they had borrowed a wheelchair. Manager Wang said uncertainly.

"Wheelchair?" Manager Wang's words caught Zhao Gang's attention.

"I'm not sure. I'm going to check it out. Manager Wang said.

"Okay, let's go with you." Zhao Gang said.

"Okay, then we'll go to the logistics department." Manager Wang said to them.

After speaking, Manager Wang took them to the item lending and returning center of the logistics department.

At the desk in the loan and return center, a little sister is looking through the materials.

"Xiao Yang, are you still reading the information?" Manager Wang walked in and said to her.

She was looking at the information seriously, and the arrival of Manager Wang startled her.

She immediately got up from her chair, her hands were overwhelmed, and she said in a panic: "Ah, hello Manager Wang, why are you here?" ”

"I'll look it up." Manager Wang asked, "Are you still used to being here?" ”

"Well, it's fine. I'm not familiar with a lot of things, and I'm learning! Xiao Yang replied.

"This is our new colleague Xiao Yang. Because the girl who was in charge of borrowing and returning items resigned, Xiao Yang came to take over her work. Manager Wang said to Zhao Gang and Qin Tian.

"Xiao Yang, this is Officer Zhao and Officer Qin." Manager Wang said to Xiao Yang.

"Hello two officers." Xiao Yang nodded at Zhao Gang and Qin Tian.

"Let's look it up." Manager Wang said to Xiao Yang, "You can show me the record of borrowing and returning items from last month." ”

"Oh, good."

In less than a minute, she pulled out a booklet. It says December.

"Give it to Manager Wang." Xiao Yang handed the booklet to Manager Wang.

"Found it so soon?"

"Because you showed me this yesterday, I took it out and looked at it again today. When you see it, you put it on the table. Xiao Yang said with a smile.

Manager Wang smiled and said, "Not bad." ”

Then he took the booklet and began to flip through it.

Soon, I found the loan and return record for December 13th.

The borrowing and returning records clearly state that a wheelchair was borrowed from room 302.

"Two officers, you see, they did borrow a wheelchair." Manager Wang took the booklet and said to Zhao Gang and Qin Tian.

Zhao Gang and Qin Tian took the booklet and looked at it, and sure enough, room 302 borrowed a wheelchair on the thirteenth.

"Why didn't you talk about it the last time I came?" Qin Tian asked Manager Wang.

"Because I didn't know about it the last time you came!" Manager Wang said.

"What do you mean?" Qin Tian asked.

"Guest check-in at our belongings lending and returning center and at the hotel front desk is not a system, so it is not visible on the computer at the front desk. Whatever guests need to borrow, they come directly here and pay the rent and deposit. Our records are also handwritten forms, you can also see. Last time you came, we only looked at the system at the front desk, so we didn't see it. Manager Wang said.

"Then today, why do you remember it again?" Qin Tian interrupted Manager Wang's words.

"It's a coincidence. Didn't the colleague here before resign, I brought Xiao Yang over yesterday and handed over the work to her. At that time, I took this booklet and showed her how to record the borrowed things of the guests. It was at that time that I stumbled upon a record of wheelchair borrowing and returning. Wheelchairs are rarely borrowed, so I looked at the room number and it seemed to be room 302. However, I just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it. No, just now at the front desk, it just so happened that the room you were going to check was also 302, and I just remembered that it was the one I saw yesterday that borrowed a wheelchair. Manager Wang explained.

"I see! I see! Qin Tian said.

"It's lucky. If it weren't for the newcomer, I wouldn't have flipped through that booklet, and I wouldn't have noticed this. You came at the right time, and if I had come a day earlier, I still wouldn't have found out about it. Manager Wang said.

"It seems that it is better to come early than to come at a good time." Zhao Gang turned his head to Xiao Yang and said, "Thank you!" ”

"Where." Xiao Yang said embarrassedly.

"When did they borrow the wheelchair? When will it be returned? Zhao Gang asked Manager Wang.

Manager Wang looked at the booklet and said, "I borrowed it at three o'clock in the afternoon on the 13th." It was returned at ten o'clock in the evening on the 14th. ”

"Any idea why they want to borrow a wheelchair?" Zhao Gang asked again.

"I don't know about that." Manager Wang smiled.

"So, can you borrow your wheelchair?" Zhao Gang asked again.

"Yes. Guests are required to pay rent and deposit for wheelchair borrowing. When returning the wheelchair, the deposit will be refunded. As for where they go to use it, we don't ask. Manager Wang said.

"Okay, thank you, Manager Wang." Zhao Gang thanked Manager Wang.

"You're welcome!"

"Alright, then we'll go back first." Zhao Gang said.

"Two police officers go slowly!" Manager Wang sent them out.
