(October 5) countdown to the 86th day

It was early in the morning, Xiao Feng leaned back in the chair in the office, his brows furrowed.

Although with the help of the trap set by Gao Fei, the police successfully wiped out the four men sent by Brother Niu, but after the overnight interrogation, the information confessed by these four people did not bring a breakthrough in the investigation of the case, but more and more mysteries appeared. One piece of information particularly puzzled Xiao Feng.

According to the confession, the monkey died in an accidental car accident on October 2, but the body disappeared mysteriously. The monkey was once caught by the police, and was later called by Xiao Feng to find out the whereabouts of Brother Niu. It was the monkey who discovered Brother Niu's new residence that Xiao Feng followed the vine and had a face-to-face encounter with Brother Niu in a dark room, but let Brother Niu escape under his nose.

The day of Brother Niu's arrest was October 2nd, and it was impossible for Brother Niu to kill the monkey with his own hands, unless Brother Niu arranged for other subordinates to act in advance. But the four men confessed that no one had received a task on October 2.

Was the monkey's death really an accident? The police have arrested Brother Niu's subordinates many times, and these people confessed that they had never seen Brother Niu's face, and in the context of the police's high suspicion of Brother Niu, how did the monkey find out about Brother Niu's whereabouts?

Could it be that the whole incident also involves the existence of other mysterious figures? The more Xiao Feng thought about it, the more frightened he became, if it was as he thought, there was a bigger conspiracy hidden behind the several cases since the murder of the Yuebanwan apartment.

At 3:15 a.m., the Castle Peak Police Station received a report that a major homicide had just occurred in the Shangkeju Tea House, and 7 people died from shooting.

In less than 15 minutes, Xiao Feng led the team to the Shangkeju Teahouse. Pushing open the 318 private room on the third floor, a male corpse was lying on the floor, and the fatal wound came from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Looking around at the layout of the private room, and then looking at the posture of the corpse falling, Xiao Feng sat on the chair opposite the corpse, and his right hand probed under the tea table for a gesture, and it was easy to conclude that the murderer was in his position, shooting from under the table and hitting the deceased in the abdomen.

In the bathroom of the 319 private room next door, a male body with the same gunshot wound was found. The strange thing is that there are no traces of a fight in the 319 private room, which should not be the scene of the first crime. So, where is the scene of the first crime? Judging by the degree of blood coagulation on the muzzle, the two bodies were killed at a similar time. If room 318 next door is the scene of the first crime, how did the murderer transfer the body from room 318 to room 319 through the hall of the teahouse in full view of everyone? Also, 319's corpse didn't wear a coat, so where did the coat go? What was the purpose of the murderer taking off the coat of the deceased?

According to the manager on duty at the teahouse who reported the case, at about 10 o'clock last night, someone booked two connected private rooms 318 and 319 at the same time, saying that the guests arrived at about 2 o'clock in the morning. A few minutes after 2 o'clock in the morning, a man entered the 318 private room, asked for a pot of tea, said leave them alone, and closed the door. Did anyone else go in during this period, including the tea house waiter? There are also guests drinking tea in the lobby on the third floor who mentioned that room 318 first entered one person, then two men, and then two more; Finally, two more people got out of the elevator and knocked on the door of each private room in turn, saying that they were looking for a friend, and later these two people also entered room 318. In the end, five people came out, and these five people came out and went up to the 4th floor, and the other two people never showed up in room 318. As for room 319 next door, no one had ever seen anyone enter, except for the two people who were looking for someone to go in and come out soon after.

Seven people went in and five people came out, but there was only one corpse in room 318?

"You see, the last five people came out?" Xiao Feng asked.

"I can see clearly, where I'm sitting." One of the tea guests turned around and pointed to the location of the café directly opposite him in room 318, "After they came out, they went up the stairs to the fourth floor. ”

"Is there any surveillance footage?" Xiao Feng asked the hall manager who reported the crime.

"There is one in the lobby, and you can see the guests entering and exiting the private room, but there is no inside."

"Go see ...... now"

"We looked at it as soon as we reported it, and it was true that only five people came out."

"Oh? It's really weird, seven minus five equals one? Xiao Feng retracted his footsteps to accurately check the surveillance footage, and muttered to himself.

While more precise ballistic analysis is awaited, the opening marks of the wounds of the two victims suggest that the victims did not die of the same pistol model. He deduced the model of one of the pistols, and a great concern came over him.

The two murder scenes in the guest rooms on the fourth floor were relatively easy to analyze and judge, and the killer did not take the time to deal with the scenes. The bodies of the three men found in one of the rooms were all killed by a single shot and at close range. Two people were shot in the head and another in the back. The body shot in the back showed signs of being dragged, indicating that the deceased had been shot before entering the door.

Xiao Feng glanced at the door opposite the room and asked the hall manager who followed behind, "Who booked this room opposite?" ”

"It's the person who booked a private room in the tea room, and he booked a total of four guest rooms, all of which are opposite each other."

A male corpse found in the bathroom door of room 428 contained a gunshot wound of the same model. There were traces of a fight next to the corpse, and the corpse looked disheveled. Xiao Feng judged that the fight occurred after the deceased was shot, indicating that the deceased still had accomplices, but the bodies of the accomplices were missing. It is not known whether the accomplices escaped from the gunpoint, or whether the bodies were hidden.

After inspecting the scene, Xiao Feng asked the hall manager to take him to see the surveillance video, and quickly confirmed that the first guests to enter the 318 private room were the deceased found in the 319 bathroom. The other deceased in room 318 was one of the two men who entered later. In the end, the five people who came out of room 318 all went up to the fourth floor, and the bodies of four of them were found in two rooms, and the other was missing.

Room 319 next door to Room 318 has not been seen to have anyone entered, except for the two who had finally come out of the elevator to find someone who had now turned into corpses.

Xiao Feng moved the time period recorded in the surveillance video forward to the time when the guest booked the private room, and then re-accessed the surveillance video. Sure enough, as early as 11:40 last night, a person secretly entered the 319 private room that was booked until 2 o'clock.

Xiao Feng felt familiar with this person's appearance, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
