Chapter 207: Murder
It was fast in the morning, and the few travelers in the inn came out of their rooms on the second floor, some of them to continue their journey, and some of them had to stay in this desert town for several days. Watermark Advertising TestWatermark Advertising Test (Pingnan.com)
One of the waiters at the inn yawned into the restaurant, feeling a little strange. He had worked in the inn for two years and knew that Boss Tsang would be busy in the restaurant early in the morning - both owner and employee in this small inn.
However, today I didn't see Boss Zeng busy.
The waiter felt a little happy, he arrived before the boss today, and finally didn't have to listen to the boss's nagging. However, when his footsteps stood at the threshold of the door of the restaurant, he suddenly saw something terrible, and his face turned pale with fright, and his legs were weak, and he collapsed to the ground!
He shouted in a trembling voice, "Oh no, it's dead!"
His shout alarmed the few travelers who lived in the store and the few waiters who were still cleaning on the second floor. Everyone rushed into the restaurant and was quickly stunned by the scene in front of them.
On the floor of the dining room, between several square tables, two people lay horizontally, these two people curled up together, in a strange posture, as if two were strung together, and the four hands of these two were entangled with each other, as if they were fighting to the death. The eyes of both men were wide open and hollow, as if their essence had been absorbed by some terrifying force in an instant......
Apparently, these were two corpses. Moreover, everyone recognized at a glance that one of them was Boss Zeng, and the other was a strange middle-aged man. Soon, someone also recognized the middle-aged man: "Isn't he the guest who drank in that corner last night?"
This is a desert town, it has always been calm and peaceful, but I didn't expect two corpses to appear at once, it was definitely a shocking case! Fear quickly spread, and people were at a loss.
When people have not yet recovered from their fears. There was a daring waiter who made a trembling call to the police station.
Soon, Director Su rushed over with three policemen. The horrific appearance of the two corpses also startled the policemen.
Huangsha Town is just a small remote place, and the seven police officers at the police station usually deal with some family shortcomings, neighborhood disputes, and at most some petty theft and public security cases. How have you ever been a criminal murder with two lives? Several people, including Director Su, were helpless for a while.
But. The eyes of the people around him still forced Su to step forward boldly, and he still had the most basic qualities of the police, while saying: "Get out of the way, don't destroy the scene!" and at the same time ordered the other policemen: "Control all the people in the store." No one is allowed to leave!" The people watching the excitement on the side were a little worried when they heard this, and they all said: "Director Su, we still have business with us, you can't trap us here!" Director Su glared at him and said, "You think you are unlucky! Xiao Wang, you go and bring the accommodation registration book in the hotel and take the roll call one by one." Let's see if there's anyone missing!"
A young policeman next to him said, "Yes!" and ran out of the restaurant and went to the front desk to get the accommodation register.
At this moment, the people watching the excitement had no choice but to sigh, really admitting that they were unlucky.
Director Su squatted down in front of the two corpses. He didn't dare to look them in the eyes, as if some terrible monster would jump out of those two empty eyes. He turned it slightly, looked at it from head to foot, lifted the deceased's clothes and looked at it, finally stood up, shook his head and said, "There are no external injuries, but there are obvious pinch marks on the necks of both of them, could it be that the two people strangled each other...... It's so weird!"
At this time, everyone in the hotel was gathered in front of the information desk, and several policemen were making statements against the accommodation register. Of course, everyone was in a daze about what had happened last night. Only the Ban brother, who had shown a few differences last night, suddenly said after the police questioned: "Looking at the appearance of the two of them, it shouldn't be because of some dispute that they pinched each other to death, right?"
As soon as he said this, the policeman who asked him remembered the appearance of two people, suddenly his eyes lit up, put down his pen, ran out on his feet, found Director Su, and said: "Looking at their appearance, it is likely that the two had a feud before, and they pinched each other to death last night...... Director Su frowned, and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!" He himself had already suspected this, but this policeman had just graduated from the police academy, and he usually liked to be unconventional and show off, and he always thought that he was really a detective, and Director Su was very disdainful of him. He had already made up his mind that this murder case was not something that he, the head of the small police station, could handle at all, he just finished what he should do according to the procedure, he had already reported to the county criminal police team, and it would not be long before the criminal police team arrived, and the next thing had nothing to do with him. At this time, he didn't want anything to go wrong!
The young policeman had no choice but to go back to the front in despair and continue to lazily take his notes.
Soon, Zhuang Zhou was brought in, and of course, on Yin Ji's already forged ID card, his name was Zhou Zhuang, from the Windy City in the south......
The young policeman lazily asked what he had asked several times: what was your name, where were you from, when did you get to the hotel, what did you do last night, did you know the middle-aged man, etc.
When these questions were asked, the young policeman didn't raise his head and said, "Okay, the next ......" Zhuang Zhou didn't stand up, but suddenly said very mysteriously: "Mr. Policeman, there was a strange thing last night, I don't know if I can say it?"
The young policeman raised his eyebrows, raised his head, and asked eagerly, "What strange things are you doing?"
Zhuang Zhou looked around nervously, making it look like he had something major to report. The young policeman was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately closed the door of the small room, and then leaned forward to Zhuang Zhou and said, "Say it!"
Zhuang Zhou cleared his throat and said: "Last night, Boss Zeng told a story, this story ......" Before he finished speaking, the young policeman interrupted impatiently and said: "What am I talking about, Boss Zeng has been telling this story almost every day in the past few months, what's so strange about this!" He was a little disappointed and even a little angry, thinking that Zhuang Zhou could tell any clues, and he might be able to solve the case with this clue, but he didn't expect ...... He straightened up and paced back behind the desk.
Zhuang Zhou shook his head, feeling a little helpless at this young policeman. How can you do things if you are so impatient? It seems that this is just a guy with a low eye. However, Zhuang Zhou's purpose was to expand the impact of this murder through him, and he didn't want to use dream hunting to forcibly implant this belief into the young policeman's brain, so he had to endure it.
Zhuang Zhou sighed and said, "Boss Zeng's story is not important, the important thing is that I know that the other deceased is from Shacheng, and he ......" He deliberately paused and didn't say anything, just waiting for the young policeman to ask.
Sure enough, when the young policeman heard this, he stopped, turned around, and the eagerness on his face was even greater, and asked, "And what?
Zhuang Zhou smiled secretly in his heart and said: "That middle-aged man is from Shacheng, he belongs to a criminal organization, this organization has done many big cases, if you can follow this clue to investigate and wipe out this criminal organization, it will be a great achievement!"
The young policeman became excited, and Zhuang Zhou's words swelled his ambition to get ahead again, but he was still a little skeptical and asked, "How do you know this?"
Zhuang Zhouxin said: This guy is not completely a fool! However, he had already prepared the answer in his heart, and said unhurriedly: "Although I am a southerner, I have been in Shacheng all the year round, and I still know some about Shacheng. Some time ago, I heard that this man kidnapped a wealthy man in Shacheng last year, killed him and buried his body in a bungalow on the outskirts of Shacheng, and I remember that there were four poplar trees on the side of the house......"
The young policeman is really excited this time, the murder of a wealthy man in Shacheng happened last year, and the case has not been solved. Now that Zhuang Zhou said such an important clue, how could he not be surprised! As long as this clue was reported to the Shacheng Criminal Police Team, it would be difficult for him not to be promoted!
However, he quickly asked, "How did you know this, why didn't you go to Shacheng to report the crime before?" Zhuang Zhou pretended to be very ashamed and said, "I happened to be in that area that night...... Find the Tomb ...... Hehe, I saw it by accident, but I was scared, so I didn't dare to call the police, besides, in our line of work, more is better than less...... Now that he's dead, I dare to say it, and I can't get over it in my conscience......"
The young policeman glanced at Zhuang Zhou with contempt, and thought to himself, "you turned out to be a tomb robber, a thief who digs up graves and robs corpses, what kind of conscience are you talking about!" However, he is happy in his heart now, and he does not pursue what tombs Zhuang Zhou, the tomb robber, has stolen, he just wants to find out the authenticity of this clue as soon as possible. He suddenly lowered his face and said, "You have to be responsible for what you say! Otherwise, you will be able to rob the tomb very much!"
Zhuang Zhou immediately nodded and said, "What I said is the truth! I just ask Mr. Police not to say that I provided it, although the wicked man is dead, he still has many accomplices, I am afraid ......"
The young policeman was disdainful again, he actually wished to take all the credit for discovering this clue to himself, Zhuang Zhou's statement was exactly what he thought. However, he still said: "With your guts, you still dare to rob the tomb! You can rest assured, our police will absolutely guarantee the safety of the informant!" In fact, he just said that, who can he protect as a small police officer in a small police station?
Zhuang Zhou said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Police!"
At the same time, a large number of police officers searched Shacheng in his mind, and he believed that the person behind the middle-aged man, or the organization, would definitely be wiped out!
