Chapter 115: The Missing Corpse
Before Mo Ziqi came back, Mu Sen rushed to Hotel A. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He didn't rush in, but stayed outside the hotel for a while. This guesthouse is not big and it doesn't look very clean. It should be at the level of a small hotel. The people who came here can imagine what kind of type they are. The murder took place on the third floor, but so far there have been no eyewitnesses. Presumably, there is no monitoring. This hotel is on the corner of a relatively remote intersection, and there are no traffic lights or electronic eyes at this intersection, so there is no way to find the suspect through traffic cameras. The nearby shops are messy and dilapidated, and at first glance, there is no appearance of surveillance. After a general look, Mu Sen walked into the hotel.
As soon as I entered the hotel, I saw Captain Wu asking about the accommodation registration information at the front desk, and he didn't find out the reason for it for so long, which shows how loose the management system of this hotel is. As soon as he saw Mu Sen come in, Captain Wu hurriedly took a notebook, walked in front of Mu Sen, and said, "Look at it, look at it, what is the situation, is there any hotel check-in information that is only handwritten in a notebook?" They don't swipe their ID cards at all, and no one knows if it's their real name. The rooms are full, but there are obviously not enough people who register every day! If you look at the name here, is there one that looks like the real name? It's just about Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng, Li Xunhuan and the like! ā
Mu Sen only glanced at the notebook, then patted Captain Wu on the shoulder and said: "There are unofficially operated hotels and inns like this everywhere, and most people are reluctant to reveal their identity information, so more people are willing to live in this kind of place." As everyone knows, once something happens, you can't check it if you want to. Okay, I'm going to talk to the people at the front desk of the hotel. ā
The front desk staff of the hotel was a woman in her mid-35s, and she seemed very panicked when so many police officers suddenly came here and there was a murder. And that flickering look also revealed her anxiety, presumably she herself knew that her business was not 'formal and legal'.
Mu Sen walked over and asked lightly, "Are the people in Room 302 a regular here?" ā
The woman rolled her eyes and replied, "No." ā
"Do you know the tenant of 302?" Mussen asked again.
"Hmm...... I don't know. ā
"Before Tenant 302 died, was there anything special going on here, or was there any suspicious person here?"
"I ...... I don't know...... I was delivering hot water to another room...... I didn't pay attention......"
Mu Sen no longer looked at her, but turned directly to Captain Wu and said, "She lied, take the suspect back to the team." ā
Before Captain Wu could react to what was going on, the woman shouted in panic: "Don't don't, don't don't, it has nothing to do with me!" I'm in business, so how could I kill someone in my hotel? Why do you say I'm lying! ā
Mu Sen turned his head and replied slowly: "When people are lying, the eye movements are generally mainly manifested in two ways, one is to look directly at the other party, in order to hope that the other party can believe their lies; The second is that the eyes are erratic, and the pressure in one's heart is distracted by looking at other things to avoid revealing flaws. The look you just made belongs to the second type. Also, the fact that you hold a pen tightly in your hand also shows that all the questions you answer are not true. When people lie, their body temperature rises, and if I'm not mistaken, you should still have sweat on that pen. ā
The woman looked at Mu Sen in surprise, opened her mouth, and finally said, "Mr. Hong is a frequent visitor. But we weren't very familiar with him. He had come alone this morning, and no one else had come with him. We really don't know what happened in that room, and if it weren't for the girl screaming and running out, we'd probably not even know there was a murder in the hotel by now. We are also afraid that the impact will not be good, there are dead people here, who will come in the future. I wanted to chase the girl to stop her, but I guess she was really frightened and ran too fast. Unexpectedly, she reported the case directly. ā
Speaking of this, Captain Wu on the side was unhappy. He slapped the desk at the front desk and shouted, "You still want to stop her!" You also want to stop her from reporting the crime! In addition to obstructing official business, do you still want to help the murderer destroy the corpse?! ā
The woman said in fear, "No, no! How could I do that! Am I crazy? I have told you everything I know. ā
Captain Wu glared at her, and said angrily, "Say, who is that Mr. Hong you are talking about?" What is the full name? What for? Tell us everything you know! ā
The woman looked at Captain Wu tremblingly and said, "Mr. Hong is the dead man of 302...... All I know is that his name is Hong Bo. He looks like he's in his forties, and we really don't know what he does. It's just that every time he comes, it won't be long before a woman comes looking for him. It's different every time. We don't know what their relationship is. ā
Captain Wu looked at the record in his hand, and then muttered dissatisfiedly: "There is not much difference between saying this information and not saying it." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Sen answered on the side: "How come? We are now almost certain of what kind of person the deceased was. He was identified so that we could investigate the cause of his death and the scope of the suspects. ā
"Huh?" Captain Wu looked at Mu Sen in surprise.
Mussen continued: "The deceased's private/life was very disorderly, and there was a suspicion of prostitution. He has no family, no formal job, a very precarious source of livelihood, and under normal circumstances, he should also have no children. He should live not far from here, and people like him, who don't have any real conditions to support their sense of security, will only choose safer places to conduct those shady transactions. His name should be true, because he doesn't feel that what he does is worth avoiding, otherwise he wouldn't always be looking for a hotel. However, since he has no job, Captain Wu, you should hurry up and let the household registration check. ā
Captain Wu couldn't help but ask as he responded: "I can understand that you said that he was prostituting, because there are always different women who come to the hotel to find him." But if you say he really doesn't have a job, then how can he do such a thing? No matter how cheap it is, it needs money, right? Why are you so sure he doesn't have a normal financial source? ā
"First of all, if his financial ability is not bad, he will not choose such a humble and informal hotel. Not to mention enjoyment, at least you should seek comfort. So, he's not a big boss or a rich man. I just looked at the registration book, and the time he came every time was not fixed, it was possible at various times, and the time to check out was not possible. I think that's unlikely, whatever he does. The main thing is that a person with a proper job doesn't have the bad habit of alcoholism, right? ā
"Alcoholism? What's going on? How do you know that? "Captain Wu is getting more and more confused.
Mu Sen pointed to the registration book and said, "In addition to the basic cost of the guest room, can you take a look at the other expenses of room 302?" ā
Captain Wu glanced at the registration book, and sure enough, it was all low-end liquor, and then he asked in surprise, "What about the corpse?" If a big living person walks out of here carrying a corpse on his back, will no one see it? As Captain Wu was talking, there was a cacophony of renovation noise outside.
Captain Wu frowned impatiently and said, "Where is this?" I don't know how to handle the case here? Why is there such a big movement! ā
Mu Sen patted him and reminded: "You can't stop others from decorating when you handle the case." ā
Then Mu Sen turned his head to look at the woman and asked, "Can you recall it again, did you see or hear anything special during that time period of the crime?" ā
The woman said helplessly: "I really didn't see it, but I saw the little girl running out in a panic, screaming as she ran." As for listening, it is even more inaudible. As you can hear, there have been recent business renovations and road construction in this neighborhood, and it is like this every day. What do you think I can hear? ā
At this moment, Mu Sen saw Mo Ziqi coming down from the upper floor. When he saw Mussen, he took off his white gloves and said, "I knew you were coming." The above has been checked, and not much evidence has been found. But you should come with me to the back for now. ā
"Back? Could the corpse have jumped from the third floor on its own? Captain Wu asked in surprise.
Mo Ziqi led them to the back of the hotel and explained to Mu Sen: "Behind this hotel is a weedy field, and the population is sparse compared to the front. I found blood on the windowsill, and although it had been wiped, I could still tell it was dragging from the inside out. ā
Hearing this, Mu Sen glanced up at Mo Zidi, and said knowingly: "Drag traces? That is, after the deceased was seriously injured or died, someone pushed him down from the house? ā
"Yes, it should look like a bloodstain, but there's no body down there. I asked you to go with me to the back to see if there was any blood on the grass, and to see where I could find the direction in which the body was carried. Mo Ziqi said very strictly, he is also a little confused now, why did the corpse disappear?
The murderer is gone, the body is gone, and there is something really unusual about this case. In addition, there are many doubts on the scene, and Mo Zitong has not had time to tell Mu Sen. Now the priority is to find clues in the grass behind the hotel. Even if the murderer can't be identified for the time being, you still have to find the deceased.
