The Cecil Hotel has a total of 14 floors and more than 600 rooms. However, because European and American countries are sensitive to the number 13 and are generally considered unlucky, the elevator button of the hotel does not have 13, only 12, 14, and 15.

Coleman had been here many times before, and most of the people in the lobby knew him. Refusing a request from a blonde woman with a bulging head to lead them up, and taking a bunch of keys, everyone followed Coleman to the elevator.

There are two elevators, side by side on the left side of the hotel, Wang Lei stood at the elevator door and looked back, and could directly see the location of the hotel reception, and vice versa.

The capacity of the elevator is not large, and the approval sign is a maximum of 7 people at a time, and Wang Lei and they are already 6 people. Coleman pressed the elevator on the 12th floor, and Wang Shui'er asked: "Didn't I see that Lan Keer lives on the 4th floor of the hotel on the Internet?" ”

"So that's online." Wang Lei's answer was also very interesting, Yang Qian and Julie covered their mouths and smiled. The Q&A between the two was in Chinese, and Coleman and Nathan could only look at the two laughing women in confusion.

The elevator is a bit old, and it seems that the Cecil Hotel is not willing to spend money to replace it. However, the functions of the various cases inside are quite normal, and the speed is not slow, Wang Lei suddenly reached out and pressed all the indicators on each floor, and Coleman asked strangely: "Wang Lei, what is this for?" ”

It was Yang Qian who understood Wang Lei: "He wants to do what Lan Keer has done, this is his habit, you don't need to pay attention to him." ”

Coleman and Nathan shrugged together, confused. But this operation is led by Wang Lei, and they are only assisting, so no matter what Wang Lei does, they just watch.

Julie stood at the elevator door and did not interfere with Wang Lei in anything. But her appearance ensures that if she moves with anything, she must be the first person to come into contact with her.

Every time the elevator stops on the first floor, Wang Lei will walk out of the elevator like Lan Keer to stand for two seconds and then come back, and Julie will also follow out. There was no supernatural event as Wang Shui'er imagined, and she had already shrunk behind Yang Qian to hide.

Wang Shui'er is not small, she has never been afraid of corpses, but when it comes to mysterious, supernatural ghosts and gods, she can't stop the fear in her heart.

Arriving on the 12th floor, and exiting the elevator, Coleman turned to the right. Wang Lei noticed that this was also the direction in which Lan Keer walked out of the video after the most reluctance.

Walking to the end of the hallway, Cowman opened a door: "This is the room." ”

This is an ordinary single room in the hotel, facing the street, not much different from the domestic hotel, the facilities are like the old elevator, very old.

Many tourists choose to stay at the Cecil Hotel because of the attraction of the supernatural legends for many years, and because of the cheap price of the rooms in Cecil. These are the two key winning tactics that Cecil Hotel has used to attract business over the years.

There is nothing to check in the guest rooms, only the environment can be seen. For more than half a year, the Cecil Hotel has been open, even if there are not many people who have the guts to stay in this room.

If you want to find the remaining traces in this situation, Wang Lei can't do it, and no one can. The FBI doesn't eat for nothing, and the Los Angeles police aren't stupid, and every centimeter of this room is believed to have been searched very thoroughly.

Standing at the window, Wang Lei looked down at the street below, it was impossible for anyone to climb up the outer wall of the hotel, even if it was a spider man, he would be inadvertently seen by the rogue man on the street.

I didn't stay in the room for long, and a few people came out and went up to the roof. There are two doors on the 15th floor and the roof, one of which is locked, the door is usually locked, and the hotel's maintenance staff has a key, so it is impossible for guests to go up to the roof at will.

The other door is even more impossible, it is directly connected to the hotel's alarm system, and only if someone tries to pick the lock or open the door, the alarm will be triggered, and the hotel's security monitoring center will be immediately arrived.

Wang Shui'er was reluctant to approach the water tower, and she always felt a bad smell in her nose. Yang Qian felt that there was nothing to look at at this and stayed with her.

Last night, Wang Lei looked at the police information and knew that the water tower on the roof of the building was 10 feet high, which is a little more than 3 meters. Even if he is the champion of the Hercules competition in the world world, he can't hold a person and throw it in, it's not a hard object like a stone.

Along the ladder on the side, Wang Lei climbed up first, and Colman and Julie also went up, and people can stand on the top of the water tower, which should be said to be relatively spacious.

Standing on the high ground of the hotel, the surrounding area is empty. Coleman looked at the silent Wang Lei and said: "The Los Angeles police have done experiments, and if the murderer wants to carry Lan Keer on his back to climb the water tower, it is almost impossible to achieve. ”

Wang Lei knew that it was because the ladder was welded to the outer wall of the water tower with iron buckles ring by ring, which was straight, not a staircase. This kind of ladder is very difficult to climb alone, let alone carry one person up.

Although it is said that as long as you are not afraid of tiredness and hardship, you may be able to do this, but I think the murderer will not do this kind of work without any technical content.

The preliminary inspection on the site was thus completed, and Coleman felt that there was nothing unusual about Wang Lei's approach, and he was a little disappointed. In the past two days, Coleman has been inquiring about this mysterious Chinese through his connections at the FBI headquarters, and the news he got was so fascinating.

In this regard, Coleman summed up four words: no case is solved. Oh my God, looking at some of the information he got, Coleman exclaimed every time, what a wise brain it would take to reach a height that ordinary people could not reach this time.

But today, Mr. Wang's every move disappointed Mr. Cowman. It's a common practice for any police officer to know that this is going to happen, and everyone goes to the scene like this, including Coleman himself and Nathan.

After going downstairs, Wang Lei walked around the hotel and went back without any other moves. When he got off the bus, Wang Lei told Kaleman: "If you have any other information, send them all today, even if you think it is insignificant." I'll think about it for the next two days, and then I'll call you. ”

Coleman had already driven some distance, but he couldn't help but shake the front of the car and stop on the side of the road with a sudden brake. Nathan was puzzled and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?" ”

Picking up his mobile phone, Coleman hesitated again and again, and dialed a number that he knew by heart: "Marty, what did Robert send Wang Lei to Los Angeles for?" I took him to see Lan Keer's death scene today, and it seems that he is not capable of helping us either? ”

The other end of the phone was amused by Coleman's question: "Dear Coleman, this is not a question you should ask, Robert naturally has his thoughts." Oh, don't worry, Wang Lei will not take away your position, he is the consultant, but you have to respect him, this is Robert's order. ”

Hanging up the phone, Coleman thought about Marty's answer just now, and asked uncertainly: "Nathan, do you think Wang Lei can find out the murderer of the Lan Keer case?" ”

It's none of his business, hang high, for Nathan, his top boss Coleman he can't afford to offend, and Wang Lei, the consultant from the headquarters, is not something he wants to offend, Tiantian lips: "Boss, I contacted Wang Lei for the first time today, and I didn't have any other impressions, but I found that he was very careful." Perhaps, he will have a different way of thinking, maybe, he may bring us a surprise, who knows. ”

yes, who knows. Coleman would not beg God for such a trivial matter, which would be disrespectful to God. Besides, this case is already planned by the FBI to be turned into a "cold case", Wang Lei is the best to find out, and if he can't find out, he will throw it to the cold case center, where there are hundreds of thousands of unsolved cases hidden in the snow, and this one is not too much, and this one is not too little.

Wang Lei didn't go out for two days, and he didn't step out of the bedroom door. All the files, materials, and photos were spread out on the table, bed, and coffee table, and the sofa became his sleeping place for a while.

In the past two days, the three women were very worried about him, Wang Shui'er and Yang Qian took turns to fight, and the persuasion was ineffective. After the last time, I pushed Julie in, Julie was very helpless, you are Wang Lei's girlfriend, you can't persuade him, what can I do.

Even when eating, every time three women are brought to him, Wang Lei must be in a state of out-of-body and wandering all over the world, and three women must either keep calling him, or pulling him to shake a few times, he will come back to his senses, laugh a few times, and then fill hamburgers and sandwiches into his stomach in the shortest time.

The three women were very worried, Julie contacted Robert for the first time, and Robert's instructions were very concise and clear: not to disturb Wang Lei, take care of his and his girlfriend's life and safety, this is what Julie should do.

The next morning, the three women began to divide and cooperate, Julie was responsible for the daily diet and procurement, Yang Qian and Wang Shui'er went into Wang Lei's room, and the two also began to study the file of Lan Keer's case.

In fact, the Los Angeles police came to a conclusion in March that Lan Keer committed suicide. The F.B.I.A. Los Angeles Branch signed the report.

Women are worthy of being very smart creatures, Wang Shui'er and Yang Qian both know that if they want to detect, they can't catch up with Wang Lei. So they took the most direct approach, taking the conclusions of the Los Angeles police and starting to regress to see if they could find loopholes and suspicions.

If you want to say whether there are doubts, there are! A lot! First of all, Wang Shui'er found one and pointed to one of the pages of the report: "Yang Qian, you come and see here." ”

Yang Qian pressed a pause to play, stopped the hotel surveillance video she was watching, leaned over, and carefully read a passage outlined by Wang Shui'er with a pencil - when she fished out the water tank, Lan Ke'er was all over her body. Red. Bare.

"Where are Lan Keer's clothes?" Wang Shui'er's observation is not special, but it is very in line with a woman's first intuition. Yang Qian is also very strange, her clothes can't walk......
