Chapter 16: The Strange Case of the Bell Tower (10)

Nicketes Hotel is a relatively old four-star hotel in Wanzhou, and its hardware facilities have actually reached the standard of a five-star hotel, perhaps because of some restrictions in second-tier cities, so it has not been rated as a five-star.

When the hotel's manager Wang learned that the police were handling the case, and it was the bell tower murder case that caused a sensation in Wanzhou, he was very cooperative.

First of all, I asked the hotel to give a list of hotel guests who stayed at the hotel on the 11th of the previous month, which is easy to extract in their hotel management system. Why should I make a check-in list on the 11th of last month? Fortunately, the path name of the video was named and saved after the time it was taken, otherwise a professional technician would need to analyze the date the video was taken.

If the video was shot on the 11th, then Wang Weisen and Kong Xinran are likely to stay on the same day, of course, it is not ruled out that the room has been booked a few days ago.

From the list, Wang Weisen was not found, but Kong Xinran was found, obviously, the hotel room was booked by Kong Xinran, the room number was 6012, and it was booked in advance on the 8th through the online platform.

Because it's booked, it gives the candid photographer more time to install the pinhole camera. So the question is, to install a pinhole camera, the first thing is to know the room that Kong Xinran booked, so who can easily know the room information that Kong Xinran booked?

I think apart from Kong Xinran himself, he is the staff inside the hotel. Thinking of this, I checked the occupancy of room 6012 from the 8th to the 11th, and as I expected, from 12 noon on the 10th, no one occupied this room. The reason for this situation is obviously deliberately arranged by the hotel insiders, whose purpose is to protect the pinhole camera from being inadvertently discovered or damaged by guests. Now it's easy to find out who installed the camera, just find out the suspicious person who entered room 6012 after 12 noon on the 10th from the surveillance, and conduct an interrogation.

In the monitoring room of the hotel, I retrieved the surveillance video of the corresponding time period. Room 6012 can be clearly seen in the surveillance, and at 12:08 noon on the 10th, a cleaning aunt entered room 6012 and walked out of the room at 12:15.

At this time, Xiao Xia asked, "Brother Ouyang, is it possible that it is the camera installed by this cleaning aunt?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It's very unlikely, because the one who can find out about the check-in time of the guest should be the front desk or the management of the hotel." Let's move on to monitoring. ”

Xiao Xia snorted. There were guests and hotel staff coming and going in the hallway under surveillance, but no one touched the door of room 6012. I asked the staff in the monitoring room to fast-forward the monitoring, and when the monitoring time reached 2 o'clock in the morning on the 11th, from the fast-forward picture, a bloated man wearing hotel overalls appeared in the picture.

I immediately asked the staff to pause the picture, and the staff blurted out at this time: "Hey, isn't this Manager Qi?" Why are you still wearing a mask? ”

I smiled and patted the staff member on the shoulder and said, "Are you sure this is Manager Qi?" ”

The staff turned his head to look at Manager Wang behind him, Manager Wang nodded, and the staff said: "Sure, he is such a figure in our hotel, and I can recognize him wearing a mask." ”

So I turned to Manager Wang and said, "This little comrade is not wrong!" ”

Manager Wang leaned over to the display screen and looked at it for a few seconds, and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten!" ”

So I said, "Go ahead!" ”

In the surveillance footage, I saw this manager Qi carrying a small sports bag on his shoulder, looking left and right, sneakily opening the door of No. 6012 and rushing in. Ten minutes later, he walked out of the room and hurried away.

I stood up straight and said to Manager Wang, "Manager Wang, please come and sit down with your Manager Qi!" ”

Manager Wang sighed, turned on his walkie-talkie and said, "Manager Qi, Manager Qi, come to the monitoring room." ”

After a few seconds, a woman's voice came from the intercom: "Manager Wang, Manager Wang, Manager Qi went out ten minutes ago." ”

"Do you know where to go?"

"Manager Wang, I don't know, Manager Qi left in a hurry and didn't explain anything."

At this time, Manager Wang looked at me and seemed a little overwhelmed.

Tang Zhenguo clapped his hands and said, "I must have known that the police came to investigate the case, and I absconded for fear of crime." ”

I said: "If you can escape, the monk can't escape the temple, Manager Wang, do you know where Manager Qi's family lives?" ”

Manager Wang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "There is employee information on the computer in my office, and there is his home address on it." ”

I said: "You call him first, he is willing to come back and cooperate with the investigation, then it is best, everything will be dealt with leniently, if he is stubborn and still does something to abscond in fear of crime, then don't blame the ruthlessness of the legal network." ”

Manager Wang nodded his head while dialing the phone, and I saw that his hands were a little trembling. In fact, I can understand that my subordinates have made such a serious mistake, can the leader not take responsibility?

"He doesn't answer the phone." Manager Wang said helplessly.

I took Manager Wang's phone, remembered the mobile phone number called Qi Dayou, and asked Manager Wang to call up Qi Dayou's home address as soon as possible, and then took Tang Zhenguo and Xiao Xia straight to Qi Dayou's residence.

Qi Dayou's family lives in a small area on Beibin Road, which is considered a high-end residence in our city. Because Xiao Xia showed his police ID and said that he had come to investigate the case, the security captain of the community personally took us into this fully enclosed community.

Qi Dayou's home is on the 15th floor of Building B, the security captain opened the password door downstairs, and we took the elevator to his door.

I asked everyone to be quiet and dialed Qi Dayou's mobile phone. The phone rang, and the phone rang from inside the house, but it never answered. I dialed it again, and the phone rang again, and it didn't take a few seconds for me to hang up.

It can be inferred that Qi Dayou is at home, so I simply slapped the door a few times vigorously and said loudly: "The police handle the case, open the door!" ”

As soon as I said this, I heard footsteps in the house, accompanied by the sound of something being knocked down, but the door still did not open.

At this time, Xiao Xia also slapped the door a few times vigorously and yelled: "Open the door quickly, what's the use of you hiding at home like this?" Be lenient in confession, strict in resisting! Hurry up and open the door. ”

The security captain also helped us at this time and said: "Dayou, open the door, explain anything to the police, you lock yourself in the house like this, it won't help!" ”

At this moment, the elevator made a tinkling sound, and a teenage girl and an old woman with a schoolbag walked out of the elevator. The old woman was surprised and asked, "What are you doing in front of my house?" ”

The security captain hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We have something to do, Granny Wu, you came back just in time, hurry up and open the door." ”

Granny Wu looked at the security captain in surprise, then at us, and asked, "Xiao Chen, who are they?" ”

I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mother-in-law, we are great friends, and we have come to invite him out for dinner." ”

"Friends? Dayou hasn't gotten off work yet, he works in the hotel, and he usually comes back late. ”

I said, "He's back, at home." ”

"Really?" The old woman looked at us suspiciously, and slowly opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, I rushed in with an arrow step, Tang Zhenguo and Xiao Xia followed, and I heard the old woman shouting behind me: "Why are you young people so ignorant of the rules, change your shoes, change your shoes." ”

In one bedroom, we found Qi Dayou, sitting on the edge of the bed, with a drooping face, his tie crooked around his neck, his hair disheveled, and his coat that he didn't know where to throw it.

I closed the bedroom door, locked it, sat down next to Qi Dayou and said, "Who are the little girl and the old woman outside?" ”

He whispered, "My daughter and my mother." ”

I said, "You don't want them to know that you've committed a crime and you're being targeted by the police!"

"I ...... I ......" he slurred without saying why.

I said, "Come back to the police station with us, and I'll cover for you in front of your family, but you have to tell us everything you know." ”

He looked at me and nodded.

I then said to Tang Zhenguo and Xiao Xia: "When we go out later, I will say that we will go out to eat and drink, remember to have a smile on our faces." ”

The two nodded.

We walked out of the bedroom, the play was done enough, Qi Dayou's mother and daughter didn't see anything strange, and his mother also told him to drink less and come back early. I saw that Qi Dayou was about to cry, so I quickly laughed and dragged him out of the house.

"Thank you." Qi Dayou wiped his tears and said to me.

"I went to the police station and confessed everything I knew, and I thanked you." I patted him on the shoulder and said.

With Qi Dayou, we came to the criminal investigation team, and it was already half past six in the afternoon. Lao Lu received Xiao Xia's notice and rushed back to the team.

As soon as Lao Lu saw me, he roared: "You immortal! ”

I hurriedly said, "Case first, case first." ”

Lao Lu drummed a pair of two cylinders, seeing that there were many people in the team, it was not easy to have a seizure, so he suppressed his voice and said: "Okay, handle the case first, and see how I clean you up later." ”

I smiled.

Qi Dayou's interrogation was carried out by Xiao Xia and Lao Lu together, and Qi Dayou confessed everything he knew, and the content of the confession surprised us.

Don't look at Qi Dayou, who is short and fat, he actually had an affair with Wang Weisen's wife, and the placement of a pinhole camera also confirms my inference that it was Wang Weisen's wife, Chen Mao, who instructed him. However, he didn't know what the indecent video of Wang Weisen and Kong Xinran was used for, but he gave the video file to Chen Mo after shooting, and he didn't keep the copy file himself.

Qi Dayou also explained that Chen Mo was very generous, the down payment for the house he lives in now was all paid by her, his daughter went to a good primary school, and the relationship was also found by Chen Mo, so Qi Dayou obeyed Chen Mo's words. And Chen Mo is not only his lover outside, as far as he knows, Chen Mo also has a personal affair with the boss of an advertising company.

After the interrogation, it was already half past seven in the evening, and Xiao Xia ordered takeout, and we ate in the team.

During the meal, Lao Lu's heavy mood was relieved a lot because of the breakthrough in the case, and he didn't clean me up, and he asked me how I caught the suspect.

Of course, I said it one by one, and when Lao Lu heard the demonic remarks, he no longer mocked or dismissed, but listened to me very carefully.

After I stated everything I investigated, Lao Lu spoke: "I went to the Xiangfei Fitness Club today, and their membership uniforms are indeed the same as the killer's hoodie. I also met Wang Weisen's wife, Chen Mao, who is a very attractive, even a somewhat bewitching woman, and is also the majority shareholder of Xiangfei Fitness Club. On the back and neck of this woman, there is a demon wings spread and three tattoos of 6s below, will this have something to do with your demonic theory? ”

I wiped my mouth, put down my chopsticks and said, "Chen Mao, who has money, power and status, may be the mastermind of all these crimes, and the tattoo may mean that she is the demon itself." First of all, he instructed Qi Dayou to shoot an indecent video of his husband. Then, we found this video in Qin Wenyuan's hands, obviously, in Qi Dayou's confession, the boss of the advertising company who has a personal relationship with Chen Mo is likely to be Qin Wenyuan, and this video was given to Qin Wenyuan by Chen Mo, but what is the purpose? I can't deduce for a moment. Of course, after Qin Wenyuan got this video, he must have threatened Wang Weisen, who had something to do with him, so Wang Weisen instructed his subordinates to steal Qin Wenyuan's home, just to destroy this video, although Wang Weisen never admitted this fact. But the strange thing is that Qin Wenyuan was bizarrely killed, and Wang Weisen admitted that it was the devil who removed this trouble for him, which is the most incredible thing in the case. If the devil is Chen Mo, then why did Chen Mo get rid of Qin Wenyuan again? Unless we can catch this devilish killer, the mystery will be difficult to solve. ”

Lao Lu said: "Devil, devil, that's right, in the middle of this case, Chen Mo is the biggest devil, and now that I have Qi Dayou's confession, I will immediately arrest that woman in the team." ”

I nodded.

At this time, the team's intranet phone rang, and after Lao Lu answered the phone, his face turned pale, he looked at me and whispered: "The door guard said that there is a man wearing a hoodie and a ghost mask outside who is looking for a Mr. Tang." ”

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Tang Zhenguo with a serious expression, and said in my heart: The numbers on the advertising board were written by Tang Zhenguo, could it be that the devil really came to him?
