Chapter 5: Blurry Surveillance Footage

According to the waitress of the inn, she heard several strange noises coming from room 414 at 11 o'clock yesterday afternoon, she asked the room, and then a man's voice came from the room: "It's okay, don't clean the room."

According to the results of the autopsy by the medical examiner, the time of death of the two deceased was around 11 o'clock yesterday at noon, and perhaps the person who was talking to the waitress in the room at that time was the murderer!

"Did you tell your boss about this?" I thought about it for a moment and suddenly asked her.

The waitress shook her head a little weakly, and muttered in a low voice: "No, I'm new here, thinking that more is better than less, and it's not strange that there is a sound in the room, so I didn't say it...... To this day, when I went to clean room 414 again, I saw that someone was dead in the room......"

We didn't get any valuable clues from the waitress who first discovered the scene, and the only clue she gave us was that we heard the sound in the room at eleven o'clock yesterday afternoon.

"Team Qin, the surveillance video has been called up."

Tang Wenbo, the captain of the criminal police at the front desk behind me, shouted at me, I turned to look at him, and then walked towards the front desk.

"Did you find a trace of the suspect?" I asked as I walked, bypassing the front desk and walking inside.

"I found it, but I ......" Tang Wenbo swallowed back halfway through his words, and then turned the computer's monitor to me.

I squinted at the computer screen for a long time, and I didn't see why. All I can say is that it makes no difference whether this monitoring probe is there or not.

The picture on the computer screen is very, very blurry, as if the SD video has been marked with four or five layers of mosaic, and I can only vaguely see that there is a man inside.

Surveillance footage shows that at half past nine in the morning, two men talked and laughed, walked side by side into the 414 crime room, and then never came out, and at half past ten, another man walked into the 414 crime room alone.

At eleven o'clock, the waitress who had just described the situation to us appeared in the surveillance video, the situation was the same as she described, she pushed the trolley to the door of 414, asked inside, and then she left.

At about twelve o'clock, a man in a black cap walked out of the room and walked away.

Only three men have entered room 414 from beginning to end, and there are two dead people in this case, so it means that the remaining one is definitely the murderer.

Although we can't see the appearance of the three people in the surveillance video, we can tell the identities of the three people from the color of their clothing.

The first two men to enter room 414 were the second deceased found by the police under the bed, and the other was the murderer.

The last man to enter the room, judging by his clothing, was the deceased No. 1 found by the police on the floor next to the bed.

Although we don't know the relationship between the three of them, judging from the behavior of the three in the surveillance video, the three of them definitely know each other.

The only thing that strikes us as strange is the murderer's costume, which is not the same as the one he wore when he entered Room 414 and the room he wore when he finally left Room 414.

Presumably, after killing two people in a row, he changed his blood-stained clothes, so it seems that the murderer must have been prepared, so the nature of this case has changed from manslaughter to premeditated murder, which is all a murder carefully planned by the murderer.

The murderer was very familiar with the two deceased, so why did he kill both of them? The murderer carried a gun with him, but instead of using a pistol to kill, he used a blunt weapon to kill people, so much so that the murderer had a fierce fight with the first deceased.

We don't know the murderer's motive yet, but once we catch the murderer, everything will be clear.

"Zoom in on the surveillance footage, I want to see what the murderer looks like." I stared at the computer screen and commanded.

After a simple operation by the technician sitting at the computer desk, the picture was magnified a lot. But the already unclear picture became even blurry after being enlarged, and it was not even possible to see a man in the picture.

The image in front of him was the image of the killer leaving room 414, he was wearing a peaked cap and a black backpack, but other than that, he couldn't see anything clearly.

The technician turned back the surveillance video back to the scene when the murderer and the second deceased entered room 414, which was even more blurry because it was the back. In the picture, the murderer is also carrying a black backpack, with different costumes and no cap.

It seemed that his spare clothes were in that black backpack, and in that black backpack must have also contained the blunt object he used to kill the two men.

If only the surveillance footage were clearer......

Anyway, how can a hotel have such a blurry surveillance video?!

I couldn't help but put the complaint on the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at me with some anger and fear, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but the matter had already happened, and no matter what he did, it would be useless, and the boss also wanted to open it and accept the police's disposal.

"You monitor ......" Tang Wenbo was also very helpless, looking at the boss for a while.

"I ...... I...... I'm a small hotel, a small business, and the monitoring is ...... The cheapest one to install...... Only...... It's a little vague......," the shopkeeper stammered.

"You ......" Tang Wenbo took a deep breath, and didn't complain about anything anymore, thinking that he would come to him to settle accounts after the serious crime team clarified the case, especially the pornographic voice he made.

At present, the murderer can be determined, it is the man in the surveillance video, but the surveillance video is not high-definition, and we can't see his specific appearance clearly, which brings great difficulty to us to confirm the identity of the murderer. The most important thing is that this person is also very likely to escape with a gun, and once he injures someone with a gun, then the situation will be very dangerous, and we must arrest the murderer as soon as possible.

"What happened when the murderer came to the store? Who was checking him in when he was scheduled to stay in room 414? I thought about it, then suddenly looked up at the shopkeeper and asked him seriously.

Now that there has been a murder in his shop, the police also know all the pornographic side businesses in his store. The shopkeeper now just wants to help the police quickly investigate this case, maybe based on his meritorious performance, his sideline police will no longer pursue it, after all, this matter is not under the control of the criminal police team.

Yesterday, the boss was in the store all day, and the man came to the store to check in, and he also handled it himself......
