Year 2011

Finally blasted everyone out of the hotel, the time was almost evening, and it was impossible to build any stage tonight, Xie Yunmeng asked them to set up a large table for lunch in the hall on the first floor of the board room, where there was no furniture, just enough to accommodate everyone.

Before starting the investigation, he repeatedly reiterated that no one was allowed to enter the hotel until the police arrived on the periphery.

There are two things that have to be said here, the first is that Xie Yunmeng's idea of contacting the police has failed, because no one here has a mobile phone, and his own and Yun Yeyao's mobile phones are out of battery, when they are in the city, they didn't expect mobile phones to come in this kind of use, and they want to play easily for three days, so they don't pay attention to the power at all.

After arriving at Bifang Island, he completely forgot about his mobile phone, until the murder occurred, only to find that there was no electricity on this island, there was no power plug, Xie Yunmeng had already roughly looked for it in the hotel, almost except for electric lights and water dispensers, there were no other electrical appliances, and even these two things were powered by batteries.

It's safe to assume that the people here are not lying to them, and that they are basically hopeless when they want to charge their phones.

So for the time being, he can only rely on himself to solve the case, and then count an immature helper - Yun Yeyao. Second, the people who went down to the lake to rescue Lao Nuo and Chef Yan, they only brought back one person, the manager of the hotel, Lao Nuo, but the chef couldn't find it.

Lao Nuo's forehead was injured a large piece, but it was not fatal, and after resting and recovering, his mind was still quite clear, and the 67-year-old man was very guilty when he heard about Chef Yan. He couldn't say the reason why he wanted to hit the railing at all, and Xie Yunmeng couldn't keep asking him, for fear that something would happen again, so he could only start with others first.

The inquiry work was also very procrastinated, everyone was talking a lot of nonsense, if it weren't for Yun Yeyao by his side, Xie Yunmeng could hardly control his temper.

The first is to investigate the whereabouts of several people on the island who have not been seen since this morning, and the murderer is most likely among them.

Before we begin to describe the details of the inquiry, let's take a look at the people present. The large dining table in the board room can seat at least 15 people. Xie Yunmeng set the room for the confession to be asked in the first room on the east side of the second floor of the board room, where Yun Yeyao went in and checked it in the afternoon.

Yun Yeyao had already described in detail to Xie Yunmeng the clues he had found and the doubts in his heart. It was bright and the curtains were all open.

Interestingly, there are actually two windows in this room, one of which is the north window that Yun Ye has seen from afar, and the other is on the side of the door, which is blocked by a huge decoration on the wall, which is actually a clamshell, and when the flap is opened, it is the same wooden shutter as in the hotel.

It's just that it's made more elaborate, and from the outside of the room, when the wooden blinds are closed, there are no gaps in the walls at all.

Among the people gathered on the first floor of the board room, there were five women, three of whom were aunts over forty years old, including Aunt Tao, whom Yun Yeyao knew, and I won't explain the names of these three aunts one by one, they will be questioned by Xie Yunmeng together later.

Two younger-looking women, they claimed to be waiters in the hotel, doing all kinds of chores, one of them was Xiaoju, whose name we have only heard of so far, Xiaoju doesn't know why, she was wet, barefoot, a dress was torn, it seemed that she had an argument with someone just now, her skin was very white, her appearance was not bad, she looked like she was about thirty years old.

The other one is going to be detailed, she is very tall, her appearance is not beautiful, but she is not ugly, a pair of slender eyes, it is a little similar to Yannuogu 15 years ago, she is also surnamed Yan, called Yantong, less than thirty years old, but she looks much more mature than Xiaoju, like an aunt over thirty-five years old, and her voice is also very old, and she is a little hoarse.

The girl was born on the island and knew the island better than the others, and according to herself, she was the younger sister of Chef Yan, and her usual job was in the hotel.

Xiao Ju was separated by Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng from the other women, and prepared the first inquiry alone, she was also one of the people whose whereabouts were mysterious, and the most important thing was that Xie Yunmeng wanted to get Kang Chen's whereabouts from her.

Now we have to talk about men, there are eleven men in all, but most of them are inconsequential characters, the kind of 'extras', so let's just talk about the young men who can dive, and the only old man who admits to having entered the murder room.

The old man's name is Kang Hong, and he claims to be Xiao Ju's adoptive father, so Xiao Ju should actually be surnamed Kang, and his full name is Kang Ju. (Let's not associate her with Kang Ju 15 years ago, the two of them don't match their appearance and age at the moment, but they just have the same name.) ）

Kang Hong's hair is gray, and his appearance is indeed somewhat similar to Chef Yan, but the two of them probably have nothing to do with it, because when Kang Hong heard that Chef Yan had an accident, he didn't react at all, but spat on the floor, Xie Yunmeng was very disgusted by his indifferent behavior.

We don't need to introduce Lao Nuo anymore, Xie Yunmeng moved a single bed from upstairs and let the injured Lao Nuo lie down, he hummed and chirped all the time, as if he was very uncomfortable, but as long as Xie Yunmeng asked him a question, he would get an answer immediately.

The three aunts all sat on the edge of Lao Nuo's bed, asking him some questions in a low voice from time to time, and the aunts trusted the innkeeper very much, because they were all together, Xie Yunmeng did not deliberately control the interaction between the aunt and Lao Nuo.

There are also three workers who can dive, one of them has just spoken to Xie Yunmeng, his name is Peng Xuan, he is also a tall man, about 1.80 meters, his body is much thinner than Kanghong, and he is the type with no muscles. Peng Xuan's spine is a little curved, it looks like he has lowered his height a lot, and his legs are also a little loopy, but it is not obvious, and it is basically impossible to see if he deliberately covers it up.

Peng Xuan gives people the impression that he is very bold and has a lot of words. The second name is Shuiyuan, he is a little younger, just turned 25 years old, he only came to Bifang Island five years ago, it was completely because of the good water, he was hired here, but after the young man came here, he completely abandoned the life in the city and lived in peace.

The young man is a quiet worker, usually very diligent, not much talk, when he finishes all the work, most of the time he swims alone in the big lake, or hides in the room to read, these people's rooms are all on the second floor of the board room, according to the aunt, he is the only one whose room is full of books, not the material of the heavy light umbrella, and only he does not know how to make the heavy light umbrella at all.

The third name is Yuxiang, an external worker, he leaves the island every once in a while, and only comes to help in spring and autumn four seasons a year, and he can't be seen at all in winter and summer. Yu Xiang is dressed in the air of a young man in the city, except for his work clothes, his clothes do look different from the people here, which also proves in disguise that he is not lying.

And he also told his place of residence in the city, as well as the names of his relatives, and his mobile phone number, which can be investigated at that time, and Xie Yunmeng registered them one by one in the notebook he carried.

At present, leaving aside the irrelevant characters, let's summarize: three diving workers, namely Peng Xuan, Shui Yuan and Yuxiang, three aunts, two women under the age of 35, Kang Ju and Yan Tong, and an impolite old man Kang Hong, and finally Lao Nuo, the manager who brought the criminal police and actors to the island.

These people will then be asked for confessions one by one, and now, let's look at the characters that are still missing, the first one is Kang Chen, since I saw him last night, he has hardly appeared in the whole day today, and he didn't even come out to eat lunch, except for being heard arguing fiercely with Xiaoju in the morning, Kang Hong's person evaporated like air.

By the way, Aunt Tao once saw a person named Xiao Chen in the hotel, from the outside, this person could not be Kang Chen, but Aunt Tao asked him about the quarrel, and Lao Nuo also passed by him, so his identity is still difficult to determine.

The second is the irascible man who lives in the fifth room on the second floor of the hotel, this man has never appeared, but Lao Nuo mentioned it once before he found the headless corpse in the fourth room, only heard his voice and did not see him, he may have jumped into the lake and swam away, or something else may have happened, anyway, now his room is full of bloodstains, Xie Yunmeng has confirmed it, and the suspicion that he escaped after killing people cannot be ruled out.

The third is Mr. Yan, a middle-aged chef who jumped into the lake, after everyone has proved that his water quality is indeed very good, and he is not injured, it should not be drowned in the lake, and the wind and waves on the lake today are not big, and several young people have come back safely. In this regard, Xie Yunmeng has included him in the list of murder suspects, and before the murder scene was exposed, he jumped into the lake and disappeared, which in itself shows that he is suspected of escaping.

But what makes Xie Yunmeng anxious now is that the people on this island are very familiar with the surrounding environment, if Chef Yan is really a murderer, and there is no police blockade on the periphery, it is easy for him to escape. Xie Yunmeng himself can't find anyone to chase after him, so he can only put it aside for now, and finding a way to contact the police is the most important thing.

As long as the people here can provide the details of Chef Yan, the police will investigate afterwards, and he will not run away so easily.

Also, Chef's whereabouts in the morning are still a mystery, why did he appear in the kitchen so late when he was cooking? According to his own words, he has been staying in the room, and now of course he can't believe it.

After Xie Yunmeng counted the number of people again, there was one more thing that made him hesitate, that is, if he let Yun Yeyao stay on the first floor to watch everyone, he would not rest assured, Yun Yeyao did not have any force value at all, and he was a person who only had a lantern shell and no lantern core.

And Xie Yunmeng didn't plan to gather everyone together to ask, it would be easy to collude confessions, and if he gossiped, it would also cause trouble. After thinking about it, Xie Yunmeng still decided to act with Mr. Actor.

Leaving the people on the island to stay in the lobby on the first floor and watch each other, Xie Yunmeng warned them that anyone who tried to escape would prove that he was a murderer or an accomplice, because people who had not done anything wrong would not be afraid of homicide investigations.

This trick may be useful, but now Xie Yunmeng has no other way to think of it, everything can only rely on himself. Of course, this idea is based on the fact that he did not really put Yun Yeyao in the position of an investigator.
