Pan An and Zhang Qishan seemed to have guessed something, and they also followed me to the top of the building, and when I came to the door on the roof, I immediately checked the big lock hanging on the door, and found that the big lock had no traces of being damaged, as if the door had never been opened.

"Ji Wen, do you mean..."

Zhang Qishan grabbed my arm with some worry, and before I finished speaking, I said, "I don't know yet, wait until we see it for ourselves." ”

After about five minutes, the elevator door on the eighth floor opened again, and the security guards Zhang Wei and Huang Xu came over with the key and opened the door, so I immediately asked them to get the ladder and stand in front of the huge water tank and wait.

When Huang Xu brought the ladder, we put the ladder away, and then I took the lead in climbing up, and lifted the lid of the water tank, and immediately saw that the owner of the Jincheng Hotel, who was already in a different place, had his body and head floating inside the water tank!

...

After informing Director Li by phone, Director Li quickly rushed to the scene with people, and the four foreign policemen who seemed to have just woken up with him ignored the foreign policemen, and immediately came over to ask me about what happened, and asked his subordinates to conduct an autopsy immediately.

I don't know how to tell Director Li, I can't say that I had a nightmare last night, dreaming that the owner of this hotel would die today, right? I had to make up a random reason for him to confuse the past.

Director Li must know that what I said is not the truth, but he didn't ask much, just sighed and commanded the scene, originally we wanted to go down to see the surveillance video first, but Director Li said that when he was done, we had to wait boredly on the side.

The worst is Pan An, he has a severe cold, and when he brushes his teeth in the morning, he uses the water flowing from the faucet, and when he learns that there is a corpse in the water tank, he is not well, and he has been quietly squatting on the ground in a daze without speaking, feeling that there seems to be a cloud above his head at this time.

Now I just think that all this happened too coincidentally, I just had that nightmare last night, I dreamed that the hotel owner was killed, and the next day he really died, could it be that those ghosts really killed people in the dark? And those ghosts say that I am next, will I be in danger too?

I shook my head vigorously, put this ridiculous idea behind me, and took advantage of the fact that I had nothing to do now, quietly pulled Director Li aside and asked, "Are the autopsy results out?" ”

Director Li looked very haggard, and sighed: "The preliminary results are out, the time of death of the deceased was around three o'clock last night, the cause of death was cut off by a sharp weapon, according to what you said before, there is not a lot of blood in the tank now, it seems that the first scene of the deceased's death this time should be in his own room, that is, the office you said, I have asked people to check, and there should be results soon." ”

I nodded and said: "It seems that the deceased this time is exactly the same as the death method and time of the first two deceased, the only difference is that the third deceased Wu Qian, no matter what, I think Wu Qian is a very important breakthrough in this case, and I will ask others about Wu Qian when I go back." ”

Director Li glanced at me meaningfully and said, "If you want to continue the investigation, try to do it as quickly as possible, I'm afraid time is running out?" ”

I wondered, "Time is running out?" What do you mean? ”

"Today's case, there has been a fourth deceased, this kind of homicide can already be classified as a large series of serial homicides, the top requires that the scene be sealed off today, clean up all the residents of the Jincheng Hotel and the staff here, be sure to minimize the mortality rate, and then continue the investigation, but at that time, there will be nothing for us, Director Ouyang and those foreign police will take over, even if we want to intervene, there is nothing we can do."

Listening to the tone of Director Li's words, he clearly had something to say, as if he was telling me that I had offended Director Ouyang, and it would not be my turn to take care of the affairs here.

I didn't expect Director Ouyang to put on small shoes for me so soon, this person is really a vicious and cautious person, but I don't care very much, I just said confidently to Director Li: "Don't worry, before you block the scene, I will definitely catch the murderer!" ”

I don't know why, when Director Li heard my words, it was like a huge stone in his heart had been put down, and he immediately smiled and said, "Okay! Do whatever you want, I believe in you! ”

I said goodbye to Director Li, returned to Pan An and Zhang Qishan, turned my head to look at the people around me carefully, and finally fixed my eyes on the few foreign policemen who were muttering there without knowing what to say.

If it is said that from the appearance of the first deceased to the present, there have been people in this hotel except for the staff and some residents on the eighth floor, then these foreign policemen are also included in it, although I am very disgusted with the vague proposal of Director Ouyang at that time, but I have to say that these foreign policemen are also suspicious.

I really wanted to ask the foreign policemen what they were doing last night, but suddenly I remembered that I couldn't understand what they were talking about, so I went to Director Li for help and asked Director Li to help ask.

Soon, the person sent by Director Li to negotiate returned, and he told me that these foreign policemen had been staying in their respective rooms last night and had not come out, and that their rooms were also on the eighth floor, and that they had not heard any strange movements.

I also learned that these four foreign policemen had been living in the same room since the moment they arrived at the hotel, so either the four of them committed the crime together, or the murderer could not have been one of them.

After ruling out the suspicion of foreign police, I still think that the hotel insiders are the real murderers, before the security guard Huang Xu told me that the owner of the hotel usually does not live in the hotel, but his death time was three o'clock last night, why three o'clock in the middle of the night, the owner of this hotel will stay in the hotel? Let me guess that he must have made an appointment with someone to talk about something unseemly, and that person is the real murderer of this case!

The scene was already in chaos at this time, and Director Li didn't seem to be able to pull away for the time being, Zhang Qishan and Pan An and I were really bored waiting, so we decided to go down to take a look at last night's monitoring, after all, according to what Director Li said, we are running out of time now, and it is an opportunity to race against time.

When we came downstairs again, we saw Zhang Wei and Huang Xu sitting there in the security room, talking and laughing, it seems that the owner of this hotel is usually unpopular, and no one is sad for him when he dies.

When the two of them saw us coming down, they hurried out and said, "Did you find anything?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Not yet, but I found out the time of your boss's death last night, I want to look at the monitoring of that time period now, please help me adjust it." ”

After Zhang Wei and Huang Xu heard this, they immediately took us to the monitoring room and began to call up the surveillance video at about three o'clock last night.

When the two of them were busy, I was bored and asked, "Are you two security guards now, and you don't usually rest?" ”

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Of course, we have to rest, but now there are not enough people, we have to be on duty every day, but we take turns to work the night shift, and now the boss is also dead, and when we get our salary, we will go home to find other things to do." ”

Hearing this, I was about to ask in detail, but I heard Huang Xu in front of the computer suddenly say: "Ji Wen, it's called out, come and take a look." ”

We immediately sat in front of the computer screen, staring at the lifeless image, little by little, looking back, for fear of missing any details.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the picture was played to 3:17 in the middle of the night last night, a mysterious figure finally appeared in the picture walking in the corridor, and when we saw the mysterious figure, everyone couldn't help but gasp!

Because that mysterious figure is not the previous curry or Wang Qiang, but Wu Qian herself, who died before we came yesterday!

According to my previous thoughts, the deceased's curry we saw in the surveillance should have been deliberately caused by the murderer pretending to be panicking, and I also deduced that the murderer may be two people, but now I saw Wu Qian appear in the surveillance, and immediately overturned my idea!

Even if the murderer can pretend to be two male deceased, but Wu Qian is a woman, no matter how she pretends to be, some physical characteristics are also imitable, I immediately asked Huang Xu to play the monitoring content of Wu Qian's front, the camera gave Wu Qian's face, Zhang Wei and Huang Xu both widened their eyes at the same time, because they both recognized it, the person in front of me who appeared in the corridor on the eighth floor in the middle of the night and walked towards the hotel owner's room was the third deceased Wu Qian himself!

Seeing the reaction of the two of them, all the information that had been conceived in my heart completely collapsed again, could it be that there were three murderers in total, two men and one woman?
