In early winter, the air is dry.

This day was still a beautiful day, Xu Tian knew very well that this kind of weather would not last long, and in a few days, half of the land of Shenzhou would be hit by haze.

Xu Tian was going to buy a humidifier this time, and Xu Tian was observing the pedestrians on the road all the way, and from the emotions and steps of those people, Xu Tian could roughly deduce the whereabouts of each person.

When he walked downstairs to the mall, Xu Tian felt a little hungry, Siyan was on a business trip these days, Sitong had just been discharged from the hospital and couldn't cook, and there was no fire at home, so she was called takeout to spend her days these days.

In order to make Sitong eat better, Xu Tian plans to pack some meals for Sitong at a nearby restaurant when he goes back today.

Xu Tian can always do things in advance, go to the restaurant to order food first, and then go to the mall to buy a humidifier, so that when he comes out, he can take the food directly.

However, Xu Tian seems to have come a little early, this hotel has not yet opened, Xu Tian looked at the time, it was already half past ten in the morning, and it stands to reason that the hotel should also be open.

There was no way around it, people had to go to the mall first if they didn't open for business, but Xu Tian walked back two steps and found a familiar car in the parking lot in front of the hotel.

Isn't that Lao Chen's car?

The restaurant that was not open at the time, and Lao Chen's car was parked here, Xu Tian's first reaction was that there was an accident here.

Xu Tian went around to the back door of the hotel, and sure enough, Lao Chen and Li Ming were surveying at the back door.

Xu Tian...... You've come just in time, come in! Li Ming greeted Xu Tian.

Xu Tian was slightly embarrassed when he saw Lao Chen, because Xu Tian and Lao Chen had an argument when they were in Lao Chen's car a few days ago, and under Lao Chen's persecution, Xu Tian yelled at Lao Chen at that time, and Xu Tian and Lao Chen never contacted each other since.

"Come in! Come and help us see the scene of this crime. Lao Chen said.

"Are you fingerprinting at the back door?" Xu Tian walked over and said.

"Yes! Nothing was found, though. Lao Chen shook his head and said.

"What's going on inside?"

"A young clerk died in the back kitchen, and the way of death was very strange......"

"Did the body go?"

"The body has been removed, but the evidence is ready, you can see." Lao Chen handed Xu Tianyi a dozen photos.

The man in the photo is about twenty years old, with his limbs wrapped in ropes and his body hanging from a chandelier in the kitchen.

However, to Xu Tian's surprise, the male clerk's clothes were strange, he was wearing a women's dress, and it was the kind of summer women's clothes that would be reminiscent of Piandan.

"What is the cause of death?" Xu Tian asked.

"Mechanical asphyxiation, body with signs of beating, but ......"

"There's no trace of going beyond the moral line, is there?"

"That's right! It seems that the male clerk seems to have been retaliated against by others, and most of the injuries on his body were injured by kitchen utensils, and the cause of suffocation was because of foreign objects being stuffed into his nose and mouth. ”

"Stuffed with what?"

"Wax oil was dripping into my nose and a whole thick carrot was stuffed in my mouth."

"That place of his really hasn't been violated?"

"Nope."

"It's very strange, even if it's revenge, why let the deceased wear women's clothes? By the way, do you think the women's clothes were worn by the deceased himself or were they forced to be put on by someone else? ”

"Judging from the investigation, I think that the deceased himself put it on, because when I examined the body, I found that the deceased's women's clothes were dressed very formally, especially the two stockings, if they were forcibly put on by others, they would definitely not be so complete."

"What about the rest? Can you tell me about it? ”

"No problem. The deceased's name was Yan An, 19 years old, from another county. Before his death, he was introverted and didn't like to talk to people, but Yan An's behavior was quite normal, and he hadn't done anything like that before, at least in the eyes of his colleagues and family, Yan An was the kind of child with good rules. The time of death was between three and half past three in the morning, and there should have been no one in the hotel at that time, and the hotel owner did not know why Yan An entered the hotel. ”

"Only the back door of the hotel is opened, isn't it?"

"That's right, the restaurant only has two doors, the front door is closed after the night closes, but the back door should also be closed, the chef and the assistant chef and the miscellaneous clerk can confirm that they went out of the back door collectively at 11 o'clock last night, when the chef himself locked the back door."

"Everyone is so sure the chef locked the back door?"

"Oh! Yes, the owner of this restaurant is not bad to the staff, and every night the employee will drive his van home when the employee gets off work. At that time, the hotel owner's van was parked in the alley not far from the back door, because the chef was the person in charge of everything in the back kitchen, and those clerks would definitely wait for him to get on the bus for a while. ”

"You don't have the key, do you?"

"Only the boss and the chef have it, and of course it is not ruled out that someone stole the key of one of them and took it to secretly match one."

"Isn't there any sign of this back door being prying?"

"No, it looks like it's been opened normally."

"Is it possible that it was opened from the inside?"

"I understand your assumption, Yan An also left with everyone last night, everyone can be sure."

"What about surveillance? The monitoring inside the hotel should be on at night, right? ”

"The surveillance was on, but unfortunately there was no surveillance in the kitchen and no one was captured at the front desk and in the lobby. I also coordinated with nearby merchants to check the surveillance footage in front of their store, and it turned out that I didn't find any suspicious people. When Lao Chen said this, he lowered his head and pondered for a while. Yes, no one was found! ”

"Didn't find anyone? Yesterday, no one was seen in the vicinity at the time of the incident? ”

"That's right! I'm also puzzled, this area is quite prosperous, usually people pass by here from early morning to morning, but last night was very unusual, there was no one. ”

"The back door of this hotel is not a residential building, so it is very troublesome to find witnesses."

"Yes! Behind it is a logistics company that has gone bankrupt, and it can be said that there are no eyewitnesses to this case at all. ”

"Then start with the relationship of the deceased."

"I have been checking all morning, the deceased has a withdrawn personality, has no friends, whether it is communication records or Internet browsing records, there is no abnormality, and there is no one who has a motive to kill Yan An at all."

"Really? In this way, it is a murder scene without any flaws, but I believe that everything has a cause and effect, Yan An's death definitely has a reason, and this back door is the only clue for us to solve the case.
