Chapter 4: The Shopkeeper's Business
The crime scene was a small hotel in Chenglin County, and the economy of the county is not as developed as that of the urban area, and a small hotel like this is the most common place to stay.
This small hotel has a total of four floors and a total of more than twenty rooms, and we found two deceased people in room 414.
There is surveillance in the corridor of the hotel, and real-name registration is required for accommodation, which are all clues that have a major breakthrough in the case.
I immediately went to the front desk on the first floor and saw the boss trembling with fear.
"Who is in room 414?!" I looked at him and asked directly.
The boss looked at me in a daze, his face was very ugly, he didn't say anything with his mouth open, and he didn't say anything for a long time, as if there was something unspeakable.
His state immediately aroused my alarm, it stands to reason that there was a murder in his store, and the owner of the store must actively cooperate with the police to solve the case, so that the police can solve the case as soon as possible, clear their suspicions and restore their hotel reputation as soon as possible.
After all, if someone dies in a place to stay, the impact is still great, because no one likes to live in a "murderous house".
I looked at him with some alarm, and asked again seriously, "Who is living in room 414?!" ”
The boss swallowed hard, deliberately avoided my gaze, and stammered, "I...... I don't know ...... either."
"What?! You don't know?! ”
I was stunned, surprised, and angry, and asked in a loud voice, "As the owner of the inn, you don't even know who the residents of your store are?!" Don't you have a real name registration when you live here?! ”
The boss was so frightened that his face turned green, he lowered his head and didn't say a word.
"Hey, you have a good attitude, there was a murder in your store, and now I, as a police officer, am investigating the situation with you!" Seeing that the boss didn't say a word, I was a little angry and glared at him.
The boss shuddered violently, looked up at me, and then lowered his head again: "No...... No real-name registration is required......"
"What?!" I subconsciously looked at Tang Wenbo not far behind me, he was also stunned, first looked at me, and then looked at the boss.
Tang Wenbo walked up to me, put his arm on the front desk, and looked at the trembling boss inside, he thought for a long time, and was a little speechless for a while. The hotel did not register with his real name, which was a big problem in itself, but he thought about it for a long time and didn't know how to ask.
This kind of thing is like going to the toilet with a large size without paper, which is very counterintuitive, but he doesn't bring paper, and you don't know how to ask.
Tang Wenbo asked lightly: "Why don't you register your hotel with your real name?!" ”
"Because, because ......," the boss said hesitantly.
Tang Wenbo slapped the table at the front desk vigorously and reprimanded loudly: "Because of what?!" ”
"Because, because there are a lot of people who don't come to stay at the hotel......" the boss said with his head down.
After listening to his words, I was even more confused, this hotel first did not register with the real name, and then said that the people who came here did not live in the hotel, is this not a hotel? Is it a restaurant?
"Staying at the hotel? So what are they doing here?! I asked him suspiciously.
"Because...... They're here to prostitute ......," the boss let out a long sigh.
Damn, let's investigate the homicide, and we accidentally ended up in a den.
At this time, Tang Wenbo's face was a little unbearable, this situation occurred in his own jurisdiction, and the serious crime team of the Municipal Bureau was still around. Although this kind of matter is not under the control of the criminal police team, but under the control of the public security section, after all, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the county public security bureau.
"Your business here is quite comprehensive, won't you still be involved in gambling and drugs?" I sneered and looked at him.
"No, no...... It's not that comprehensive...... "The boss waved his hand at me vigorously, and after explaining, he lowered his head again.
After a brief inquiry, it was learned that his hotel had been involved in pornography for a long time, and some customers came here to open an hourly room, and the owner of the store helped them contact the lady, and the owner was responsible for taking a cut of the money, as well as selling expensive family planning supplies for profit. Because this is a criminal matter, people who come to stay in the hotel do not register with their real names, and only some people who do not know the situation or outsiders come to the real hotel to register with their real names.
It seems that this matter needs to be handled by colleagues in the Public Security Division.
"Even if you don't have real-name registration here, there should always be surveillance, right?" I asked him with some anger.
The boss quickly raised his head and said to us, "Yes! Yes! There is surveillance! There is surveillance! ”
"Call up the surveillance on the fourth floor and the monitoring in the hall, we want to check, just start from the time of room 414." Hearing him say that there was surveillance, I breathed a long sigh of relief and commanded.
The boss nodded, adjusted his chair and sat down, and began to operate the computer.
It is estimated that after the installation of the hotel's surveillance, it has never been called up to the video, and the operation of his monitoring can not be said to be unfamiliar, it can be said that it will not be at all, he operated alone for a long time, and did not call up the monitoring screen.
Tang Wenbo beckoned the technicians around him to come forward to help with the operation, and I took advantage of this time to find the waitress who first discovered the murder.
The waitress was very young, looking to be in her twenties, and her face was full of immaturity that had not been deeply involved in the world. After learning about the hotel, I was a little worried about whether it would have anything to do with the owner's business.
If it really matters, I'd really like to ask about the price.
Hahaha, these are all jokes, I'm still young, I don't want to get sick, and Lady Dawn is right in front of me.
Li Meng and Lin Zifan were asking her about the situation, and the girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, she had just been working here for less than a week, and she had encountered this kind of thing, and she was already frightened.
Fortunately, after Li Meng and Lin Zifan's comfort and persuasion, she finally expressed everything clearly.
"Yesterday morning at about eleven o'clock, I went to the fourth floor to clean room by room as usual, and when I passed by, I suddenly heard a strange sound in room 414, as if it was a few muffled sounds, as if someone was fighting.
I walked to the door of 414 and knocked on it and asked, 'Is there anything inside?' ’。
Then a man's voice came from inside and said, 'It's okay.'
I asked, 'Do you need to clean your room?' ’。
The man replied, 'No.'
Then I didn't ask again because my boss is in that kind of business...... It's also ...... to have a sound Normal.
Until eleven o'clock today, when I went to clean my room as usual, I knocked on the door of 414 three times, and there was no sound in the room, so I went in and looked.
Only...... And he saw the dead......"
