Chapter 18: Nightmare Locks

"Is the soundproofing here poor? What did you just hear? Xu Tian asked.

"Why are you asking me these questions? What are the benefits of my answer? Swallow said in a slick tone.

"You don't have to answer me, the police will ask you these questions again later." Xu Tian said.

"I didn't hear anything strange, but someone knocked on the door twice, and I thought something was wrong! After all, there was a fire not far away, and when I heard a knock on the door, I quickly dressed and opened the door to take a look, and I saw you. Swallow said.

"How many times did you hear a knock on the door?" Xu Tian asked.

"There was a knock on my door twice, probably a knock...... This way. Swallow said.

"And after that? Do you hear other rooms being knocked on? Xu Tian asked.

"It should be, or the people in those two rooms wouldn't have come out, right?" Swallow said.

Xu Tian wanted to go into the bathroom to have a look, but he didn't dare to leave the door, if he let the man find a chance to escape, it would be in vain.

"Salesman, did I see you yesterday?" Xu Tian asked.

"Huh?" The salesman raised his head and looked at Xu Tian. "Do you say me? I guess so! ”

"Did you knock on the three rooms?" Xu Tian asked.

"Of course not, how could I possibly do such a thing." The salesman said with a dismissive answer.

"And did you see a man scurrying into the bathroom?" Xu Tian continued to ask.

"You can go check it out, I haven't seen anyone go in anyway." The salesman said.

"What about the knock on the door? Did you hear that? Xu Tian asked.

"It's the same as that girl, it's probably a knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock knock knock...... Getting closer, this way. The salesman said.

Getting closer and closer, that is to say, the first time is the door of the swallow room that is knocked open, the second is the door of Sharon's room, and the third time is the door of Aunt Xu, Xu Tian stared at the three closed doors, and now only Sharon is still in the room.

At this time, Aunt Xu walked out of the bathroom, fortunately the salesman and Yanzi did not look at Aunt Xu, it seemed that Aunt Xu heard Xu Tian's question in the bathroom with the open door, when Xu Tian looked at Aunt Xu, Aunt Xu nodded slightly towards Xu Tian, indicating that Yanzi and the salesman were right, and also said that there was no one in the bathroom.

But Xu Tian didn't believe Aunt Xu in his heart, after all, Aunt Xu had already revealed her identity, and she had a lot to do with Zhinian Tai Sui.

There are also three closed rooms, and the man is not allowed to hide inside, Xu Tian looked at his mobile phone, and only five minutes have passed, and the police have not felt it, and Xu Tian does not have the right to search the room at this time.

Can't wait any longer, Xu Tian knows that he must immediately determine the man's hiding place, every night in a second, he may be won by that man to escape, that man is related to the case of burning Hailan, he must not be let go.

Xu Tian began to meditate on his situation, if he was the man who ran away, according to the testimony of Yanzi and the salesman, Xu Tian imagined out of thin air which room he would run into.

The first is the man's face, Xu Tian had glanced at it when he walked into the restaurant next door, it was a strange face.

In this situation, Xu Tian has already simulated himself as the man, when Xu Tian ran into the hotel and found that the salesman was not there, and the person who was tracking him behind him could chase him in about five or six seconds, Xu Tian rushed into the corridor of the guest room on the first floor, and knocked on the door of the swallow twice, and then knocked on the door of Sharon twice, and knocked on the door of Aunt Xu three times?

No, each room is spaced, about five meters or so, when the man ran into the hotel, Xu Tian chased very closely, it was indeed only five or six seconds for Xu Tian to chase in, but in such a short time, it was impossible for the man to knock on the door of three rooms and hide in a certain room or bathroom.

However, Yanzi, the salesman and Aunt Xu can all prove that the three doors have been knocked open, even if someone lies between these three people, at least one or two people must be innocent, and the probability of them lying in a group is very rare.

That is to say, it is true to knock on the three doors, and the man simply does not have enough time to do this series of actions, Xu Tian remembers very clearly, when he chased in, there was no man in the sight of the hotel hall at all, and in the hall, he could clearly see the scene of the entire corridor of the guest room on the first floor.

Someone lied, and someone helped the man hide, and then Xu Tian remembered what Yanzi had said, and after hearing the knock on the door, Yanzi opened the door only after getting dressed.

Xu Tian recalled that Sharon and Aunt Xu were also wearing clothes when they opened the door, Sharon was wearing a sweater and jeans, and Aunt Xu was wearing a cotton jacket and black cropped pants, the clothes of these two people were quite reasonable, but the unreasonable thing Xu Tian thought of was the time when they wore clothes.

It was impossible to put on their clothes and pants in five or six seconds, not to mention that they were still asleep.

Therefore, Xu Tian could determine that someone had indeed knocked on their door, but it was in the range of ten seconds to twenty seconds before Xu Tian chased in, and thirty seconds was also possible.

Someone helped the man who escaped, between the four women, but it was possible that the man ran in and went straight into a room, or he could run up the stairs.

Thinking of the stairs, Xu Tian found out a suspicious place again, since he ran into the hotel, Xu Tian had not heard any movement on the other side of the stairs, thinking of this, Xu Tian immediately ran to the stairs to take a look, but did not see anyone.

Xu Tian walked back and checked inside the counter, as expected, there were no Tibetans.

Then it is only possible that it is in those three rooms, Yanzi's room is the closest to the door of the hotel, but it is also possible to run into Sharon's room, Aunt Xu's room is in the innermost, if the man does not make a knocking motion, he should also be able to run in.

Just when Xu Tian was analyzing these doubts, Aunt Xu walked back to the innermost room and swiped the door card, and with a roar of "drip", Aunt Xu twisted the doorknob and walked back to the room.

When he heard the twisting of the doorknob, Xu Tian suddenly recalled the sound of the three people opening the door before, yes, if the man hid in a certain room, then the owner of the room probably did not have time to close the door, to be precise, the owner of the room did not dare to close the door, because when the door was closed, there would be a sound of the door lock closing, if this sound was heard by Xu Tian, who was chasing over, the man's whereabouts would be exposed immediately.

Xu Tian's memory goes back to before the three people opened the door, when they opened the door, they didn't hear that the room where the door was twisted was the man's hiding place, because he didn't dare to close the door, that person probably had been twisting the doorknob and waiting for Xu Tian to chase him in and pretend to open the door.

Xu Tian remembered very clearly, the only room where he didn't hear the doorknob twisted was the person's room.
