Chapter 32: The Strange Room
This......
Did I go to the wrong room?
Or did I not read the weather forecast today? Is there Typhoon No. 12 in this room?
The scene was messy, the middle of the big bed collapsed, the pillow flew to the ground, the tables and chairs were separated, and the right wall that came out of the bathroom was broken. The deceased was lying face up on the ground in a zigzag position.
"How could it be him?" You Bufei exclaimed, he couldn't believe what was in front of him.
"You know him?" Ye Xin asked.
"His name is Ming Fengyan, a Christian missionary in the eighth street of Changle City." He looked at the distorted face of the deceased, who had probably been tortured before he died, "Who tortured him like this?" ”
"You're a believer too?"
You Bufei shook his head, "My other identity is a priest. ”
"You are all Christians? Have you made an appointment? ”
"Nope. We didn't make an appointment, I didn't know him well, I was a Christian pastor in Fungaku, and I had only met him three times. "Fengle City is the county seat next door to Changle City.
"That's weird. Since you didn't make an appointment, why did you and him stay in this hotel apartment? Ye Xin looked at him playfully.
"I'll talk about it later," You Bufei said, "Let's see what you find at the scene." ”
Although Ye Xin is not a professional criminal investigation policeman, it is the first time he has seen such a strange death.
The deceased was lying in a zigzag shape, his face was painful, he did not bare his eyes, his hands and feet were like twisted flowers, and he must have suffered inhuman torture before his death. Who has such a hatred with him?
The modus operandi this time is completely different from that of room 368 downstairs, indicating that this apartment is likely to hide two murderers.
The murderer of the Ming Fengyan murder case was extremely brutal and bloodless, and took pleasure in torturing people.
The murderer of the monkey homicide is very calm, everything is meticulous, and the scene seems to have been treated coldly.
"Strange", You Bufei frowned and said, "Why is there so little blood flowing out of his body?" It's about the same as a bed, a table, and a wall. ”
On closer inspection, this is indeed the case, and why?
The deceased, like the monkey, had just died, and his body was still warm, and the time of death was no more than an hour. Killing two people in an hour, or even disappearing a person like a wolf in nine seconds, even if he is a professional killer, he may not have such a speed, so Ye Xin took another step to confirm that there must be two murderers in 127 Hotel Apartment.
"What's going on?"
A voice rang out from behind them, and it was He Hong, the owner of the business. When he saw the corpse, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"You know him?" Ye Xin asked.
"This hotel apartment is also too unsafe. It didn't happen before. I didn't know him at all. He Hong complained, "Why don't we call the police?" He patted his head, "Look at my memory, you're a policeman." ”
"Did you hear the fight just now?"
"Nope. The only thing I heard was the three gentle ghost knocks on the door. He Hong looked at the messy environment at the scene, "The scene is so chaotic, there must have been a fierce fight, I have no reason why I can't hear it." But I was just watching TV, and I really couldn't hear any movement at all. He held his chin in a serious recollection.
It's strange that he's not lying. The soundproofing of this hotel apartment is not particularly good, and it stands to reason that there is such a big fight in this room, and it is impossible for the people in the next room not to hear it.
"What is this?" Ye Xin found a thin iron chain under the deceased, "This is a hanging chain?" ”
"The opening of the chain was opened, and the murderer took the contents of the chain?" You Bufei said.
"The key, he took the key."
"How do you know it's the key?" He Hong asked.
"Chains like this are worn on a man's body, and they may be precious stones, charms, and keys. But why am I so sure that the key is hung on the chain, not the gems and ornaments, it is because at the other end of the opening folded in half, these positions", Ye Xin pointed to the chain, "There are some traces of friction." Gems and ornaments are relatively fixed, not easy to cause friction, and Ming Fengyan's status as a Christian missionary can only wear keys. Wearing it around the neck shows that this key is very important, and Ming Fengyan even paid the price of his life for it. ”
"What key is so valuable that he doesn't even want his own life?" Ho Hong has difficulty understanding this behavior.
With questions, Ye Xin and You Bufei came to the sixth floor, 666.
As usual, Ye Xin knocked on the door of room 666, and a man inside quickly responded, "Who?" ”
"Police, please open the door. We need to look into things. ”
"Police? What is the matter of investigation? "Listening to the voice, it should be a middle-aged man, and he doesn't seem to have any intention of opening the door.
"Please cooperate with the investigation."
"I'm sorry, I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow will not work. The middle-aged man's attitude is still very resolute.
"If we don't open the door, we'll break in. There are some things that must be confirmed with you. Ye Xin shouted.
For a long time, there was no response inside, Ye Xin was about to bang on the door, the other party opened the door, but only opened a crack, he was not willing to invite them to the room to gather: "What is the matter?" ”
He was indeed a middle-aged man, with slightly gray hair, and dressed very plainly, like a rural worker.
Ye Xin habitually introduced himself and asked kindly, "I'm sorry to disturb you." Can we go in and sit? ”
"The place is small and there is a lot of personal luggage, which is not very convenient." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Since people are not happy, Ye Xin is not reluctant, after inquiry, he learned that the middle-aged man's name is Liu Jiabao, a rural person from Dongjiang, who does construction work everywhere in the country, and recently came to Changle City to work. "Where are you between eight and nine o'clock?"
"I'm in my room." Liu Jiabao replied.
"Who can testify?"
Liu Jiabao scratched his neck and shook his head, "No one." I'm alone in this room. ”
"Did you hear any strange sounds at this time of the day?"
He didn't even think about it, and quickly replied, "No." ”
"Please think clearly, if you give a false confession, the circumstances are very serious."
"Yes, I think I've heard some voices." Liu Jiabao changed his words again.
"What sound?"
"The door opened. The sound of 668 opening and closing the door on the opposite side. ”
"How many times did the tenant inside open the door? What time period is it exact? Ye Xin was a little excited, as if he had grasped a straw.
"Twice." Liu Jiabao scratched his hair and replied, "Once it seems to be ...... It was about 7:50 and the other at 8:20. ”
"Are you sure?"
These two time periods are very important to Ye Xin. Because once matched, the tenant of room 668 is likely to be the murderer of the monkey.
Liu Jiabao nodded affirmatively.
Is the tenant of room 668 really the murderer of the monkey?
This time period is too much of an agreement and very likely. Since this is the case, Ye Xin and You Bufei set their sights on room 668. Just as they were about to turn around and leave, there was a muffled sound in Liu Jiabao's room.
Exceptionally clear......
