Chen Xi was exactly the same as Luo Chuan thought, and after listening to Luo Chuan's meaning, he stopped talking too much, and drove directly to the hotel that Luo Chuan wanted to go to.

After driving around for 20 minutes, everyone found the "hotel" in a small alley near the vegetable market.

The second captain was the first to get out of the car in surprise, he looked at the row of dilapidated small second floors in front of him in shock, and then asked Chen Xi, "Are you sure you are not looking for the wrong place??" This is really the hotel where Wang Zhi stayed on a business trip?? ”

"That's right, we've done it again. First of all, the name is this one. And taking out the photos you provided, the boss seems to have an impression of the one named Wang Zhi. There is also Wang Zhi's ID card registration at the front desk registration office, and there will be no mistake. Chen Xi replied to the second captain affirmatively, but the second captain's face became more and more pale.

Because he always believes, supports and encourages Wang Zhi, he believes that there is nothing suspicious about Wang Zhi's behavior. But now it seems that his behavior is too weird. And this place is obviously different from the hotel in Wang Zhi's mouth?

Luo Chuan was not as surprised as the second captain, and this kind of accident would at best make the progress of the case a little slower.

Several people entered the hotel back and forth, and on the old counter was a discolored Pixiu with some coins inside. The stains on the counter give you a rough idea of the hygiene of the guest room.

At first, Luo Chuan thought that no one was there, but after Chen Xi's guidance, he saw a small recliner behind the counter, and a man in his fifties was lying inside, wearing a military coat and headphones with his eyes closed, as if he was listening to something very attentively. There was also an electric heater next to it, and the electric heater was baked with insoles, socks and other things...... It seems that this person should be the boss.

Luo Chuan coughed lightly twice and knocked on the counter.

The boss lazily opened his eyes and said, "Although I didn't open my eyes and listened to the commentary, I knew it from the moment you entered the door!" ”

"Then why don't you get up and entertain the guests!" The second captain asked in a loud voice.

The boss snorted and said, "You don't live in the store, what am I entertaining?" If there is anything, hurry up and ask, this little brother in a police uniform has come twice a day, and the impact on me here is very bad! Those who steal and consume, I don't know if they think I'm here once an hour for the police to sweep the pornographic room! ”

It turned out that the boss of this hanger had already recognized Chen Xi. It looks lazy on the surface, but in fact, I understand it in my heart.

Luo Chuan asked the second captain to take out a photo of Wang Zhi, handed it to the boss and asked, "I know, I've inquired once before." But this person is very important to us, and I hope you think about it, did he really live here? ”

The boss took the photo, looked at it, and threw it to Luo Chuan and said, "On the afternoon of the 5th, there was him in the registration book, that's right." With the way he looks, I can't be mistaken. Moreover, he is not our local at first glance, and the ID card is not here, so I have an impression. I'm in this place, and I usually have a lot of acquaintances. Only on that day, counting him, a total of four outsiders came. ”

On the afternoon of the 5th, the time coincided with what Wang Zhi said.

The second captain looked at Luo Chuan proudly on the side, which probably meant, look, right? I just said that people can't commit crimes, right?

But Guan Shan said lightly behind Luo Chuan's back at this time: "It seems that there is really telepathy, either he is still angry because of the quarrel on the first day, otherwise how can he be dead." I look at Wang Zhi, who should be in good spirits when he usually works. ”

Luo Chuan looked at the photo and asked again: "Boss, was this man alone when he came?" From the opening to the check-out, he left a few times, did anyone come to him? ”

"No, no, I don't know if he's left or not, because I don't care much about those things. The money has been paid, the deposit is still there, it's his business that he can't live or not! And I don't remember anyone coming to him, more than half an hour after he registered in the room, a tall and thin lesbian came, I thought it was looking for him at first, and later, ah, the dare lover's house also opened the house to live by itself! I'll just say, just that man, who looks dejected, how can he have a girlfriend. The boss didn't seem to have a good impression of Wang Zhi, and he was always ridiculing him at that time.

"And when he came back in the evening, you should know, right?" Luo Chuan remembered that Wang Zhi said that he went out to accompany the customer, and it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night when he returned to the hotel. At that time, there were few people and it was quiet, and the boss should have an impression.

But the boss waved his hand and said, "I usually go to bed after ten o'clock, and there are a lot of people coming in and out at night, I don't remember." ”

The second captain was holding his breath from listening to it just now, and he couldn't help but interject and ask: "You don't stare at it, and you don't install a monitor or anything, aren't you afraid of losing things?" ”

The boss looked at the second captain amusedly and said, "Lost something? Once you enter the room, you will know that there is nothing to lose except for the sheets and covers. Do you think my place looks like a place with valuables? Valuables, they're all in the slap-sized area of my side! ”

The second captain glanced at the "slap-big" range mentioned by the boss, and muttered in a low voice: "Your valuables are socks and insoles......"

"Was there anything special going on from the time he checked in to the time he checked out?" Luo Chuan wanted to know as much as he could about the day's events, although it seemed that this idea was difficult at the moment.

The boss lit a cigarette, then pointed to the almost rusty Pixiu ornament and said, "The special thing is that someone has fed it again, and since the beginning of winter, there have been fewer guests, and no one has thrown change for more than a month." It was just the lady, and when I was checking out, I found her five coins, and she took them, looked at them, and threw them at Pixiu. ”

"Gone? That's it?? The second captain's temper is about to be suppressed, in his opinion, finding this broken hotel in this broken place and talking nonsense with this broken boss is a waste of time! He really couldn't figure out what Luo Chuan's thinking was, and why he had to bite the bullet on Wang Zhi's absence.

The boss was also very cooperative, and said to the second captain with a heavy "um": "Yes! Gone! ”

Luo Chuan turned his head, looked at the second captain who was a little dumbfounded, and whispered: "Now, his iron-clad alibi is gone." This place only proves that he has been here, but it does not mean that he has always been here. ”

"What does the receipt from the toll booth say!" The second captain took out Wang Zhi's last trump card.

Luo Chuan replied calmly: "When I figure out that, this case will be solved." ”

Seeing that Luo Chuan didn't want to ask anything more, Chen Xi thanked the boss and prepared to leave with Luo Chuan.

But Luo Chuan just took two steps, turned back and asked the boss, "Can you still remember the appearance of that female guest?" Can you show me her registration record? ”

"Huh? You also want to check that woman? It's all said, it has nothing to do with the man, it's their own room. The boss was very puzzled, but still handed the registration form to Luo Chuan.

Luo Chuan took a closer look, and sure enough, this woman named Li Hong was very close to Wang Zhi's registration, and it seemed that the check-in time was about the same.

Guan Shan leaned over to take a look and asked, "What, do you think there is anything wrong with these two unrelated people?" ”

Luo Chuan hurriedly recorded the information, took a photo with his mobile phone and said, "I don't know yet, but I have a very strange feeling." ”

After the photo was taken, several people left the small hotel. The second captain crossed his waist and gasped and said, "What else is there to say now, hurry up and go to that song hall!" If you finish the investigation early, you will die sooner. There must be surveillance at the cash register or something like that. ”

Chen Xi said on the side: "There must be, don't worry about this, I have already said hello in advance just now, they are already preparing, we can check the video of the day as long as we go over." ”

"Okay, let's go." Luo Chuan and the others continued to go to the KTV in Wang Zhi's record non-stop. This time, it was surprisingly smooth, when they first arrived, the manager was already waiting for them outside the door, and warmly beckoned them to come to the manager's room, and took out the monitoring of the day on the 5th, so that Luo Chuan and them could see it.

In fact, this is also very normal, because this kind of business still has to "have a good relationship" with the police, otherwise, three days and two ends of a temporary inspection, within three or four times, the guests will run away.

Luo Chuan fast-forwarded to review the video of the day on the fifth day, and everyone watched intently. In the end, in the video, Wang Zhi's figure really appeared. At about eight o'clock in the evening, he appeared in this KTV with three men and three women.

Luo Chuan asked the manager: "Are these people regulars?" ”

The manager smiled and said to Luo Chuan enthusiastically: "Mr. Liu here is definitely a regular customer, they sometimes come together, only the one you are looking for, I look a little embarrassed." Mr. Liu, they usually ask for a lot of wine when they come and take care of our business. They drank a lot that day, too, and left at about half-past twelve. The manager recalled the time and tried his best to express his full cooperation to Luo Chuan.

The second captain thought about it at this time and said to Luo Chuan: "Eh, it should be this person." When Wang Zhi came to this city, he wanted to see this Liu Quande. I heard Wang Zhi talk about it, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, just look at the transcript. ”

If this Liu Quande can testify that Wang Zhi was indeed in the city almost all day on the 5th, then his suspicion should also be removed. Even if they weren't together all day, if they even talked about business, ate, and entertained together, then Wang Zhi wouldn't be able to spare five hours to go back and forth and kill people anyway.

But despite this, Luo Chuan still raised his eyebrows and said to the second captain: "Don't think too simply, even if you have this witness, it doesn't completely mean that he doesn't have any suspicion at all." Because, he lied in the transcript. Unless you can give me a plausible explanation for him lying, I'll have to get to the bottom of it. ”

"You dead-eyed donkey temper!" The second captain threw down a sentence angrily and awkwardly hid to the side to smoke.

Luo Chuan said to Chen Xi: "I think I still have to trouble you to help us find this Liu Quande." In any case, this person is indeed an important witness. ”

Chen Xi smiled heartily: "No problem! Well, let's go have a quick meal first, and I'll hear about the case too. At this time, I asked the police officers in the team to find this Mr. Liu. Don't worry, I guess when we finish eating, they will have news. Our city is not big, and my colleagues are very efficient and easy to find! ”

Listening to Chen Xi's words, Luo Chuan just felt extremely comfortable and reliable. Unlike the second captain over there, except for a momentum, he really can't find anything too outstanding. If this task is handed over to the second captain, it is estimated that after breakfast tomorrow, he will not be able to find Liu Quande. Bao Buqi will also find more than a dozen Mr. Liu, so that you can identify them one by one.

Luo Chuan listened to Chen Xi's suggestion, and several people were going to have a meal together first, and sat down to analyze the situation of the case in front of them. I have always heard that Chen Xi has a set of cases, and Luo Chuan also wants to hear his opinion.

And this Chen Xi really has his heart for Luo Chuan everywhere, and the small restaurant he took to eat happened to be the characteristic restaurant that Luo Chuan and Guan Shan talked about. The façade is not big, very down-to-earth and low-key, but it is said that the food inside is really good.

The second captain was so hungry that he couldn't care about being angry, so he ordered a few signature dishes and began to wait for them wholeheartedly.

In this process, Luo Chuan and Guan Shan complemented each other and told Chen Xi about the entire case. Including Luo Chuan's current suspicions, Wang Zhi's lies, and all kinds of unexplainable questions.

The second captain looked at Chen Xi while eating cold dishes, he was waiting to see the joke. They all said that this kid was very powerful, and Luo Chuan seemed to be quite optimistic about him. The second captain wanted to see what kind of analysis this young criminal police officer could say.

What they didn't expect was that after hearing the ins and outs of the whole thing, Chen Xi actually frowned and fell into deep thought.

Luo Chuan glanced at Guan Shan and didn't ask questions.

They felt that Chen Xi's strange reaction must have a reason, but the second captain was in a hurry. Seeing that Chen Xi didn't speak at this time, he asked regardless of it: "I said brother, this case may be a bit complicated by Luo Chuan." Even if you can't think of a reason for a while, it's nothing, and there's no shame at all. What do you mean by this sudden change of state? ”

After being urged by the second captain, Chen Xi came back to his senses, and then said with a solemn expression: "I'm sorry, I may have been a little distracted just now." Merely...... Because the case that Team Luo just talked about is very similar to the case that happened here a few days ago! Very similar......"
