"This ......" the reception staff showed embarrassment after hearing Wang Kui's request, "Our hotel has rules that do not disclose guest information at will. ”

"We are investigating a homicide, and this person is suspected of committing a major crime." Wang Kui casually pulled out a reason in an unquestionable tone.

"Wait a minute, I'll have to ask our lobby manager for instructions." The receptionist politely replied, "Please go to the rest area over there and wait." ”

Wang Kui nodded and said, "I'll wait here." ”

The receptionist gracefully turned away.

Immediately afterwards, a waiter dressed in a suit walked up to Wang Kui and said softly: "Hello two gentlemen, this hotel provides free drinks and drinks for the two of you, what do you want to drink?" "We're on official business." Wang Kui replied stiffly.

The waiter looked embarrassed, and Liu Jincheng on the side hurriedly said, "Just bring us two glasses of boiled water." ”

The waiter bowed slightly and left with a deferential expression.

Wang Kui stood sideways in front of the hotel front desk, his right hand resting on the table, and his five fingers took turns clasping lightly, showing his inner torment and anxiety. But in just a few minutes, it was like a long century for him.

"The King's Bureau?" Just when Wang Kui was restless, a hesitant call came from behind him.

Wang Kui turned around abruptly and saw two men in civilian clothes standing in front of him. He happened to recognize these two people, and they were two criminal policemen from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau.

"Wang Ju is really you!" There was a hint of joy in the speaker's slightly surprised tone.

"Why are you here?" Wang Kui asked rhetorically without a smile.

"Wang Ju, don't get me wrong, we're here for business." Another was afraid that Wang Kui would think that they were not doing their personal business during working hours, so he quickly explained, "An hour ago, our team received a "Notice of Assistance in Investigation" from the Pujiang City police, asking us to help track down the whereabouts of a fugitive, saying that this person is likely to be settled in Yangcheng City. Immediately after that, we received another online alarm that a fugitive wanted by the whole country checked into our hotel in Yangcheng. We checked it right away. Unexpectedly, the fugitive who was chased on the Internet was the fugitive who the Pujiang police asked us to assist in the investigation. After we checked, we found that the hotel he was staying in was this royal hotel, and the captain ordered us to come over immediately to find out. ”

The moment he heard the words "Pujiang City", Wang Kui's mind exploded as if it had exploded all at once, and all his nerves were jumping there.

"What kind of fugitive?"

"Murderer." The criminal police replied truthfully, "Two murders were committed in Pujiang City two days ago. ”

"What's your name?"

"Xu Zhonghui."

"Did you find it? Are people in this hotel now? ”

"It's been found, but we're a step late, and this person has already left." The detective explained with a little disappointment, "We learned from the front desk that a guest named Xu Zhonghui did check in late yesterday, but he had already checked out early this morning. We further checked the ID he presented when he checked in, and the ID number was the same as the fugitive ID number provided by the Pujiang police......"

Wang Kui faintly felt that this Xu Zhonghui should be the mysterious man who gave them clues. The renewed hope was once again annihilated, and Wang Kui could not hide his disappointment, but he did not give up.

At this time, the receptionist who had just gone to ask for instructions led a man to Wang Kui and others, who claimed to be the lobby manager of the Royal Hotel. After a simple greeting, Wang Kui directly revealed his identity and explained the purpose of the trip.

"I'd like to check the surveillance footage in your lobby, could you please ask the manager for a convenience?"

The lobby manager hesitated for a moment and replied, "Let me communicate with the security room." ”

A moment later, an administrative staff member who claimed to be an assistant to the general manager came to receive Wang Kui and his party with a smile on his face, and boldly led them directly to the security room.

"Lao Gao, these are comrades from the Public Security Bureau, they want to access the surveillance video of our hotel, please cooperate." The assistant general manager commanded with a sacrosanct expression.

"Where do you want to get the surveillance footage?" The security guard, known as Lao Gao, asked in a lazy tone.

"In the lobby." Wang Kui is colorful.

"There are several cameras in the lobby, do you all want to look at them?" The security guard further confirmed.

"Is there one directly facing the front desk?" Wang Kui asked.

"There's a probe that's facing the front desk, and the other probe is in the corner of the lobby but covers the front desk."

"Can the probe facing the front desk get a picture of the customer?"

"Isn't that why you installed a camera in that location?" The security guard's voice was still lazy, "Every guest who comes to check in can be captured by the camera." ”

"Then let's watch the surveillance footage of this camera first." Wang Kui decisively decided.

"When do you want to see it?" The security guard asked again.

"When did that Xu Zhonghui stay in this hotel yesterday?" Wang Kui did not answer the security guard's question, but directly asked the criminal police around him.

"According to the hotel's room check-in system, he checked in at 7:33 p.m. yesterday and checked out at 6:55 a.m. this morning."

"Let's start at seven o'clock last night." Wang Kui turned around and ordered to the security guard.

Ten minutes later, Liu Jincheng pointed to the suspended screen in the monitor: "Yes, it's him." This is the person who showed up at the door of our police station this morning. The same leather jacket, the same jeans, the same white sneakers, the only difference is that he doesn't wear a baseball cap or black gloves. I wouldn't admit it. ”

"Alright." Wang Kui patted the monitor in front of him, "Let's go back to the bureau now." It's time to take out the old case that has been in the dust for 20 years and turn it over. ”

Liu Jincheng met Wang Kui's scorching eyes, and the whole person suddenly seemed to be ignited by a fire, and the blood in his veins was surging like a river and a sea. After waiting for 20 years and looking forward to it for 20 years, now I am finally waiting for the moment when the dust will settle. He chose to apply for the police academy, and he chose to embark on the road of becoming a police officer, with the sole purpose of hoping that one day he could personally solve the shocking case that buried his father. He knew in his heart that his father was not innocent or innocent, and the moment the truth was revealed and revealed may be the darkest moment of his life. But he knows better that he has never regretted it, and he will not retreat, looking for the truth, returning justice to the deceased, and justice to the world, this is his mission, his duty, and he is duty-bound. Let him, the son, correct his father's mistakes!

After returning to his office, Wang Kui immediately made a report to the Provincial Public Security Department, requesting that all the case files of the cash truck robbery 20 years ago be retrieved, the investigation procedure should be restarted, and the real culprit who slipped through the net should be hunted down. At the same time, he also confirmed the current head of the criminal investigation detachment and asked him to personally contact the criminal investigation team of the Pujiang City Public Security Bureau and inform the other party of the information about Xu Zhonghui that they had seized here.

Wang Kui received the approval of the provincial department later that day. At this time, the bag of items they sent to the corps to carry out criminal identification has also made progress. After waiting patiently for six hours, at 11 o'clock that night, Wang Kui received feedback from the criminal technicians of the corps, who successfully extracted ten complete fingerprints from the document bag and the cover of the insurance contract, one of which belonged to the thumb of the right hand and the fingerprint extracted from the Type 64 police pistol they salvaged from Yanghe ten years ago. Based on this, they finally succeeded in locking up the suspect 20 years after the cash truck robbery.

Wang Kui had mixed feelings and tears. After so many years of waiting and waiting, the dawn of hope lies ahead.
