Chapter 8: Abnormal Guests
After the waiter asked their manager for permission again, she took us to the monitoring room next to the manager's room, and asked the staff in the monitoring room to help retrieve the surveillance video of the day of the crime, and told us what she thought was unusual that day.

"I remember having a strange ......guest that day," the waiter began to narrate.
According to her recollection, on the day of the crime, at about 9 o'clock in the evening, a strange guest came to the KTV. The reason why he is strange is not because of his appearance and other strangeness, but because of his behavior.
Generally, most of the guests who come to KTV to sing alone will first ask if there is a small box, etc., because it is more cost-effective, and secondly, the small box is more than enough space for a person.
However, when the customer came to the bar, he simply said that he wanted a private room. We don't ask about the size of the private room, the cost, etc., which are usually asked by ordinary guests.
Moreover, because that time was the peak time of karaoke, and that day happened to be a rest day, there was only a relatively high price left in the KTV box, which was a very cost-effective choice for people who came to sing alone.
Even, the waiter remembered that he was a little embarrassed to remind him at the time, asking him to wait and see if there was a small and medium-sized box to see if there was time, or go to the nearest KTV to have a look.
However, in response to the waiter's kind reminder, the man did not make any reply as if he had not heard it at all. Even, after the waiter told him the price of the expensive big box, he paid the cash without frowning, and followed the other waiter who led him to the box.
"It doesn't seem like anything peculiar." I interrupted and said, "This person may be the kind of local tyrant who is not bad for money, and he is in a bad mood, so he is too lazy to speak." ”
"That's what I thought about it, so I didn't care about it. However, it was only when the officer asked me to recall something unusual, and I remembered. The waiter hurriedly defended himself, and mistook Mu Zihan for a police officer: "After the incident that day, many guests left in disappointment, so we waited until the police officers also left, and then went to clean the used boxes one by one......"
After that, the waiter's words made all four of us hang there, because, if what she said was true, then it was very likely that this "strange guest" in her mouth was the professional killer we were looking for this time, that is, one of the murderers in this case.
According to the waiter's description, she clearly remembered that when she went to clean the guest's box, she found it clean, as if no one had used it at all. Moreover, when she went to close the song ordering system, she also saw that in the song ordering system, not even a single song had been clicked.
"In other words, isn't it strange that this guest has been doing nothing since he entered the box, just sitting on the couch and listening to the music that automatically plays on the TV?" The waiter finally concluded with doubts: "Although I haven't been a waiter at KTV for a long time, I have been a waiter for more than a year. Maybe we are a regular mass merchandiser here, so this is really the first time I have encountered such a guest. ”
Seeing that she was in such a hurry, as if she was afraid that we wouldn't believe it, Mu Zihan said with a little cry and laughter: "It is estimated that even if it is an irregular kind of KTV, it is rare to encounter this kind of guest." Just, do you remember what that guest looked like? ”
"I can't remember exactly, we have a lot of guests every day, and although I think he behaves a little weirdly now, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time." The waiter said regretfully.
"Oh." Mu Zihan also seems to be a little regretful.
At this moment, the staff member who was retrieving the surveillance video footage of the day of the crime said that the surveillance video at the time of the crime was found.
Hearing this, all of us gathered around.
Subsequently, under the operation of the staff member, the computer screen quickly displayed the surveillance video at the time of the crime.
I saw that at about 11:12 in the video, the victim Guo Mingmei walked quickly through the corridor, apparently she was going to the KTV front desk to renew the box. Sure enough, about 5 minutes later, her figure appeared in the video again.
Looking closely from the video, it can be seen that she should have been drunk at the time, because she was walking slightly shaky. At this time, a person dressed as a KTV waiter entered the video from the corner at the end of the corridor.
Since he kept his head down, we couldn't see his face clearly from the surveillance video. However, from the body shape, we can still tell that this person should be a man.
And the astonishing scene happened a few seconds later, the moment when the deceased Guo Mingmei and the waiter passed by.
I saw that the victim Guo Mingmei was stumbling forward, and the waiter was walking towards her. The two seemed to pass by normally, and there were hardly any abnormal movements of each other.
However, immediately after, after Guo Mingmei took two or three steps forward, she suddenly fell to the ground and did not move. And the waiter, as if nothing had happened behind him, just continued to walk forward and disappeared into the video.
"Hello, can you pause?" At this time, Mu Zihan opened his mouth and asked the staff to stop the video playback, and then said, "Please return the video to before the two of them passed by, thank you." ”
After seeing that the staff returned the video to before and after the two of them rubbed shoulders according to his request, Mu Zihan said again: "I don't know if I can play back the next video at a quarter speed?" ”
In the video that was replayed according to his request, the movements of the two people became very slow, and I saw the two slowly approaching each other, rubbing shoulders, and staggering.
At this moment, the person dressed as a waiter suddenly moved. When he had just staggered his position with Guo Mingmei, his right hand suddenly grabbed the other party's back, and then quickly let go again, without looking back the whole time.
At this time, not only me, but I saw that even Mu Zihan and Uncle Wang had very solemn expressions on their faces. Because, the horror of this professional killer is far beyond our imagination.
Unexpectedly, at this playback speed, we can only see the large movements of his arms, but we still can't see the movements of his fingers and wrists.
The most important thing is that his indifferent attitude towards such things as murder seems to be as accustomed to eating and drinking as ordinary people, this kind of person is really terrible.
"Can you slow it down a little more?" Mu Zihan said with a serious face: "I want to see the movements of his wrists and hands clearly." ”
"Okay." The staff skillfully slowed down the video again and replayed it, and this time, we could barely see the movement of his hands, but it was still fleeting.
In the end, when adjusting the video playback speed to one-sixteenth of the original speed, we finally saw the series of actions clearly, and finally determined that his technique was indeed the same as Mu Zihan said before.
