The shopkeeper carefully recalled and told us everything that happened yesterday—

This man came to the store at about 9:15 a.m. yesterday, and I was at the front desk, and he walked straight up to me and asked me to open a room for him, and from his expression, he seemed to be very anxious. Immediately after that, he instructed me to open a room without a name.

This kind of anonymous room opening is the code word in my store, and the customers who come to open this kind of room in the store are here to do that kind of thing...... However, most of them have hourly rooms, but this person has to open rooms all day.

I didn't care that much at the time, anyway, the longer he stayed, the more money I made, whatever! So I opened a room 414 for him, and asked him when he needed to call the room to contact me, I was responsible for helping him contact Miss, he said no hurry, wait for the evening.

He didn't go upstairs directly after getting the room card, but sat in the hall for a while, and then a man walked in, and after they said hello, they walked into room 414 together.

I was stunned, the two of them can't be gay, right?! I'd be at a loss if they needed Miss.

It was about noon, he went downstairs to the front desk, came to me and said that he would renew the room for another three days, and told me that room 414 did not need to be cleaned, so as not to affect their rest, and then he went out, but I did not see the man who stayed with him go out.

Alas, the inn has been open for a long time, and any kind of person can be met, I guess this person is a homosexual, otherwise he would not have opened an anonymous room with a man, and it would have to be open for three days.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he smacked his lips with some disdain.

But the ending made him never expect that he was not gay, but a murderer.

After listening to the description of the store owner, my first reaction was that the murderer must be a local, otherwise he would not know that this small hotel can open an anonymous room for pornography-related transactions, after all, it is an illegal thing, once the room is opened with an ID card, it is equivalent to leaving trace evidence, whether it is the police or any department that needs to investigate in the future, he can be found through the ID card information.

If the murderer was a local, could the two deceased who knew the murderer also be locals?

This question is important and to a certain extent almost determines the general direction in which we identify the murderer and the deceased.

Chenglin County is a small county seat, with the urban area of Ningzhou City on the top and the towns and villages below.

If the murderer is a local, then he must be from the county town or from the towns and villages below, and it will definitely not be from Ningzhou City.

Because the murderer is familiar with the underground transaction of the small hotel in Chenglin County, this shows that the murderer must often come to Chenglin County, and the key point is here, people in the urban area of Ningzhou City will not often come to Chenglin County, and the residents of the towns and villages below want to leave the village and enter the city, and the first stop is Chenglin County.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the murderer is very likely to live in Chenglin County, or the towns and villages under Chenglin County.

"Can you tell us more about that man's appearance, his accent, and what other characteristics he has?" Thinking of this, I continued to ask the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper tilted his neck, his eyes glancing at the ceiling and recalling carefully.

He muttered, "The man has a round face, always smiling, looks very kind, and is a very honest person. Although it was the first time I had met him, he gave me the impression that he was a very simple person, and I couldn't imagine that he was a murderer who killed two people! There was nothing strange about the accent he spoke, it was a local accent. Height, he is about a little taller than me, almost 1.7 meters tall, not fat or thin. ”

"Do you remember what he looked like? Especially the appearance of the facial features. ”

Tang Wenbo immediately asked the shopkeeper, presumably he was going to use painting techniques to sketch a portrait of the suspect based on the shopkeeper's description.

The shopkeeper frowned slightly, and his expression was a little hesitant: "I don't remember clearly, we have met twice, and it hasn't been for a long time, I remember it quite clearly, but after you asked, it was a little vague......"

Tang Wenbo let out a long sigh, a little helpless.

"If you think about it carefully, do you have any characteristics of this man? Or did he mention who he was, such as his name and occupation, or where he lived? I thought about it, and suddenly asked again.

The shopkeeper also carefully recalled again under my inducement, and the more clues he could provide us, the more helpful it would be for us to solve the case and arrest the suspect.

We stood beside him, without interrupting his memories, quietly waiting for him to recall something.

After a while, the shopkeeper suddenly came back to his senses and said to us, "I seem to have heard him call out to the person who came later, Lao Xie." ”

"Old Xie? Is it the name of the murderer? Tang Wenbo suddenly asked.

The shopkeeper explained, "No, it's the guy who came in later. ”

"Did you hear the name of the murderer?" I asked hurriedly.

The shopkeeper shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Now that the identity of the murderer is unknown, we can only investigate the clues from the identity of the deceased. With the killer armed with a gun, we will waste a lot of time investigating the identity of the deceased, which is very detrimental to the progress of the case.

However, this situation is often encountered by the serious crime team. In the many major cases we have solved in the past, we have only been left with traces of the scene, and there are no surveillance videos and witnesses at all.

Therefore, I am very confident in this case, but Tang Wenbo is a little anxious.

The more this is the case, the more we as case-handling personnel must calm down and carefully analyze more things through the clues we currently have.

The first thing that can be confirmed is that the murderer and the two deceased were acquaintances, otherwise they would not have come to room 414 to meet the murderer.

Since the murderer kills with his hands, there must be a motive for the killing, and the hatred between acquaintances often comes from the trivial things that happen in life. It's just that we can see from the surveillance video that the deceased and the murderer entered room 414 together with laughter, and the deceased did not guard against the murderer, so it can also be shown that this trivial matter did not happen recently, but the murderer held a grudge, and the deceased did not care, and even forgot, It also shows that this trivial matter is not a big deal, it is a normal thing in the eyes of the deceased.

After the on-site investigation was completed, we returned to the Chenglin County Public Security Bureau to prepare for a case analysis meeting.
