Three years ago.

An elderly couple hurriedly walked into the Jiangcheng Police Station.

As soon as she entered the door, the old woman grabbed an oncoming policeman and said, "My daughter is missing, and my daughter has been killed." ”

Every day, the police receive a lot of reports of missing people, murders, and nonsensical cases. The person who reported the case looked panicked, but the person who took the case had to be patient and meticulous. After some reassurance, the anxious old lady calmed down and told her what she had encountered.

The old lady's daughter is named Chen Xiaoli, and she has been married for two years, but her relationship with her son-in-law has been particularly bad in the past six months. Half a month ago, the old lady's daughter packed her luggage and returned to her parents' house, saying that she was going to divorce her suspicious husband.

Chen Xiaoli's husband is called Liang Zhichao, and this Liang Zhichao is Liang Zhijie's younger brother.

According to the old lady's description, her daughter went home after a conflict with her son-in-law, and in the half month when her daughter returned to her parents' house, Liang Zhichao, who was her son-in-law, not only did not come to comfort her, but looked for trouble every once in a while, threatening her daughter at every turn, causing her daughter to be unable to return home and live directly in the hotel where she worked.

The day before her daughter's disappearance, she also sent a message to her mother, the old lady who went to the police station to report the case, saying that her husband Liang Zhichao had made trouble in the hotel, and if the hotel security had not stopped her, she would have been beaten to death by Liang Zhichao. She said she was going to get a divorce anyway this time.

Is there any mother in the world who doesn't feel sorry for her child, knowing her daughter's grievances, Chen's mother didn't say a word and agreed to her daughter's divorce. In addition, the old lady also told her daughter that if Liang Zhichao went to the hotel to mess around again, she would ask the owner of the hotel to help her call the police.

Chen Xiaoli only brought a few clothes with her when she left home, and she made an appointment with her mother to go shopping on Saturday morning, and then go back to her parents' house in the afternoon to pick up some things. In order to prevent his parents' house from being watched by Liang Zhichao, Chen Xiaoli asked his mother to send things to the parking lot.

The message was sent on Thursday night, and Chen's mother waited until Saturday morning, sent a message to her daughter Chen Xiaoli without replying, and called, only to find that the phone was turned off without answering. Chen's mother, who noticed that something was wrong, went directly to the hotel, but the hotel manager said that Chen Xiaoli had taken a leave of absence and left the hotel on Friday morning.

Chen Xiaoli is not in the hotel where she works, and she has not returned to her parents' home, so where else can she go?

Lao Chen and his wife insisted that their daughter had returned to her in-law's house, and nine times out of ten they were forcibly taken back by their son-in-law. For the safety of their daughter, the old couple went directly to their daughter's in-law's house without stopping. Liang Zhichao was not there, and it was Liang Zhichao's mother who opened the door.

When the two parents met, they first quarreled, which alarmed the properties in the community. Under the coordination of the property, the two families sat down to talk about things.

The Chen family said that their daughter Chen Xiaoli was taken away from the hotel by her son-in-law Liang Zhichao.

The Liang family said that the Chen family deliberately framed him, saying that because his daughter-in-law cuckolded his son and caused a divorce, his son Liang Zhichao went to the border city in anger. At the time that Chen's mother said, Liang Zhichao was not in Jiangcheng at all. A person who is not in Jiangcheng, how to make trouble in the hotel, how to beat his wife in the hotel, he is not Sun Wukong, and he can also do the doppelganger technique.

The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, in short, Chen Xiaoli was gone.

Seeing that the property in the community could not be coordinated, Lao Chen and his wife stomped their feet and came to the police station to report to the police.

The Jiangcheng Police Department has also received a lot of similar alarms. They first suggested that the old couple contact their daughter's friend to see if their daughter Chen Xiaoli went to a friend's house.

Chen's mother said that she had contacted her, and although Chen Xiaoli had a cheerful personality, he didn't have many friends, and they all asked if he could.

The last place where Chen Xiaoli appeared was the Four Seasons Hotel, and coincidentally, on Friday, the hotel line was overhauled, and there was no video or anything.

Through a careful search by the police, it was confirmed that one of the lines was not within the maintenance scope of the day. That line is connected to the hotel front desk, and the hotel front desk happens to have a camera.

Through surveillance footage, the police found Chen Xiaoli's shadow.

On the day of the incident, she went out of the hotel with her boss Song Haoxuan, and about five minutes later, Chen Xiaoli returned alone. Chen Xiaoli in the video is in a hurry, judging from the picture, she has communicated with the front desk on duty in the hotel.

Twenty minutes later, Song Haoxuan appeared.

He looked at his mobile phone as he walked, and through the surveillance video, it can be seen that he had pointed to the place where Chen Xiaoli's figure disappeared, and through the analysis of the picture, he should have asked the hotel front desk if Chen Xiaoli had entered. After receiving an affirmative answer, he sat down on the couch in the hall.

Judging by the movements of his fingers, he should have been sending a message, and after sending a few messages in a row, he stood up again.

He looked anxious and impatient.

Three minutes later, he also disappeared into the lobby, and judging by the direction in which he walked, he should have gotten into the hotel elevator.

Five minutes later, he reappeared, and this time he didn't greet anyone, but went straight out of the hotel.

Regarding this video, the police officer in charge of the investigation at the time had questioned Song Haoxuan in person.

Song Haoxuan's answer was that on the day of the incident, Chen Xiaoli was going to take his hitchhike home. After getting in the car, I found that I forgot my mobile phone, so I went back to the staff dormitory to get it. He waited in the car for nearly 20 minutes, during which he kept calling Chen Xiaoli, but Chen Xiaoli did not answer. Because he still had something to do, he went back to the hotel lobby to wait for Chen Xiaoli. In the process of waiting, he also urged Chen Xiaoli many times to ask her to hurry up.

Three minutes later, he couldn't wait and went to Chen Xiaoli's staff dormitory. Knock on the door, the door doesn't open. Calling people, no one in them answered. Seeing that it was too late, he sent a message to Chen Xiaoli and asked her to take a taxi home by herself, and she drove to run errands.

After the incident, the police also verified Song Haoxuan's words. He did have an appointment with someone that day, because the hotel was difficult to operate, he wanted to find someone to invest, and the meeting place was near Chen Xiaoli's mother's home.

The place was chosen by Song Haoxuan, but that place is really good, and it is a place that many people who talk about business will go to.

Judging from the surveillance footage and Song Haoxuan's confession alone, there is nothing suspicious. From Song Haoxuan entering the elevator to his reappearance on the first floor to inquire, there were only five minutes in total, excluding the time of waiting for the elevator and taking the elevator, and the remaining time was less than five minutes. If you want to kill people, throw corpses, and clean up the crime scene in these five minutes, it takes a lot of cattle and skilled criminals to do it.

It was also based on this that the police ruled out Song Haoxuan's suspicion of crime.

"Did your younger brother Liang Zhichao go to the Four Seasons Hotel on the day of the crime? I have read the analysis on the Internet, saying that the murderer may be your younger brother Liang Zhichao. Wei Lai asked cautiously.

Liang Zhijie shook his head: "On the day of the crime, or during the time of the crime, my brother was not there. Because of a quarrel with Chen Xiaoli, he went to the border city alone. When Chen Xiaoli had an accident, others were still staying in the border city and didn't come back. ”
