Chapter 447 The corpse under the horse’s hooves

The person who died after being stuck on the scaffolding at the Junli Hotel has not yet been fully investigated. A week later, another person died at the blocked site.

The incident happened at around three o'clock this morning. A manager of Junli Hotel sneaked into the hotel in the middle of the night and died in the hotel lobby.

The manner of his death was also gruesome.

The lobby of Junli Hotel is very grand, three stories high. The second and third floors are the hotel's restaurants, bars and other facilities. When you enter through the door, you can see the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a circle of corridors on the second and third floors. In the middle of the hall, there is an indoor sculpture and fountain - a standing horse.

The manager died under the horse's hooves.

"What does it mean to die under the hoof of a horse?" the fat man asked doubtfully.

"Where was he stabbed to death?" Guo Yujie guessed.

"The horse's hoof is blunt, right? How can it be stabbed to death? In that case, it would be murder." The thin man said.

Chen Xiaoqiu answered this question: "It wasn't that he was stabbed to death, but that he was trampled to death."

"Um?"

The four of us were a little confused.

"That sculpture fell down." Chen Xiaoqiu raised his arms, elbows at right angles, and his forearms were tilted from a forty-five-degree angle to a horizontal position.

I looked at Chen Xiaoqiu's fallen palm, and I always felt the wind of the palm brushing against my cheek.

"Just... smash him to death?" Fatty asked numbly.

"Yes. And it remained in this state until someone discovered it in the morning." Chen Xiaoqiu put down his hand, "That sculpture, if the horse's front hooves fell, it shouldn't be able to stand still, let alone if there is a person underneath."

"What about the hind hooves? In that sculpture, the horse's hind hooves should be fixed, right?" I asked.

"It's broken. The horse's hoof and the base are directly disconnected. The break is very smooth and there are no traces around it." Chen Xiaoqiu said, "These are two suspicious points that were discovered as soon as we arrived at the scene. The rest still need to be investigated."

"Then we can't go to the scene yet?" Fatty asked.

Chen Xiaoqiu nodded.

With two cases happening in succession, the Junli Hotel will definitely continue to be sealed off, and those of us who are not involved will have no chance to get close.

I guess the police have tightened the lockdown now.

There are many witnesses to the "scaffolding suicide case". After the normal investigation process is completed, it is time to close the case and continue the construction of Binjiang Avenue. If it weren't for those unexplainable problems, various conspiracy theories and famous detectives emerging one after another on the Internet, and the government's concern about the impact of public opinion, the on-site blockade would have been lifted long ago. In this case, the manager probably did not enter the hotel in the middle of the night and die quietly, but had an accident in broad daylight in full view of the public, just like the "scaffolding suicide case".

Once is a coincidence, but twice is hardly a coincidence.

It will be difficult for the police to close the case now.

"What is your uncle going to do?" the thin man asked.

Normal people probably wouldn't be able to find out about this case.

"He plans to record it first and let Gu Mo listen to it," Chen Xiaoqiu said.

"Isn't there surveillance?" Fatty asked.

Hotels generally have surveillance.

"After the blockade, the hotel was completely closed." Chen Xiaoqiu replied, "And even if there is any, it will be stored as evidence and cannot be taken out until the case is closed."

The worker who committed suicide on the scaffolding was caught on surveillance camera before, but only Chen Yihan saw it, and we didn't have the chance to see it.

Chen Yihan went to find Gumo that night, and we were all called there too.

Gu Mo put on headphones and listened to the audio while saying in surprise: "What did you use to record? The collection effect is pretty good..."

Gu Mo stopped talking and listened carefully to the recording.

We didn't dare to disturb him, so we all held our breath and concentrated.

Nangong Yao was very relaxed. He was looking at something on his PAD and didn't take it to heart at all.

After a while, Gu Mo took off his headphones, and the progress bar of the player on his laptop reached the end.

"How is it?" Guo Yujie asked impatiently.

"I didn't hear anything." Gu Mo spread his hands and said he was helpless.

Chen Yihan frowned.

"In this case, we still need to go to the scene and have a look." Fatty said.

"So what if I saw it? Do you expect this kid to see a ghost and then destroy it?" Gu Mo pointed at me.

I looked at him doubtfully, "There must be some way...it would be nice to confirm."

I can't guarantee that I can solve this problem myself.

"The things there are not ghosts." Nangong Yao suddenly said.

"What is it if it's not a ghost?" Guo Yujie asked hurriedly.

"It's something like magic." Nangong Yao adjusted his glasses, "Junli Hotel should have been decorated since it opened. Hmm... maybe it's a Feng Shui array."

I was a little stunned.

"Then what's going on now?" The thin man asked, "Because the foundation was to be raised, the Feng Shui formation was destroyed? The construction hasn't started yet, right?"

"I don't know about that." Nangong Yao looked down at the PAD again, "I can only confirm that the Junli Hotel I saw before is different from what I saw on TV news during this period. That formation has changed. .”

"Do you have a solution?" Chen Yihan asked.

Nangong Yao shook his head.

"Ling knows this better, and so does the Taoist. We won't do this." Gu Mo closed the program on his laptop.

The thin man looked at me subconsciously.

"What to do?" I twitched my lips, "I'll go back and dig out the files on Wu Ling's disappearance to see if I can save her?"

"Xuan Qing, you can't contact me?" Chen Yihan ignored my suggestion.

In fact, the feasibility of my proposal is not high.

Gu Mo happened to be deceived by the incident recorded in the file, and Qingye's people deliberately kept the audio. Nangong Yao's matter is not so closely related to the file incident. We don't know what is going on with Wu Ling, and we may not have the good luck that Gu Mo had at that time - not only the good luck of finding clues about Wu Ling's disappearance from the files, but also the good luck of me successfully rescuing her. Nangong Yao had a narrow escape this time.

Gu Mo shook his head, "Only Ye Zi knows how to contact him. Besides, I guess the old man is trying to avoid the limelight."

"What's the meaning?"

"Well, didn't the old man show up before the love tree? And that game actually came to Minqing City again, and bumped into someone from Yunlong Mountain and killed him. I'm afraid the old man was hiding from that thing. Gu Mo chuckled, "An old guy who can live for such a long time knows how to save his life."

"Have I eliminated that game?" I couldn't help but stand on end. Master Xuan Qing never showed up. Could it be because I didn't wipe out the game?

"Don't worry, you destroyed it." Nangong Yao smiled at me, "But Master Xuan Qing may not know this. He may hide it for a while."

"When Ge Jiamu was destroyed, he hid for a long time." Gu Mo stretched his waist, "So, don't place your hopes on him."

"What about you?" Chen Xiaoqiu suddenly asked.

"What are we?" Gu Mo asked casually.

"Why don't you hide?" Chen Xiaoqiu asked.

Gu Mo and Nangong Yao both stopped moving.

"When it comes to rescuing people, you accepted the commission, but the results were not satisfactory, and you often encountered dangers in the process. Why do you continue to run the office when you have this relationship with Master Xuan Qing? ?" Chen Xiaoqiu asked.

Gu Mo was silent.

Nangong Yao smiled, "Maybe it's because... I'm not willing to give in."

I was stunned.

"I heard from Ling that Master Xuan Qing was adopted by his master since he was a child, and he received the education to become a Taoist priest. His ideas are different from ours." Nangong Yao smiled and looked at me, "Actually, you are the same, right? ?The matter at Junli Hotel has nothing to do with you."

I opened my mouth.

"Speaking of which, if the police want to investigate the case, they don't need to find out the truth." Nangong Yao looked at Chen Yihan again, "Whatever the outcome of the Junli Hotel will have, it won't have much impact on you."

Chen Yihan had no special expression on her face.

I didn't understand for a while. The Junli Hotel case has affected the most important municipal project at present. As the police chief, how come Chen Yihan has not had a big impact?

The update is completed tonight, good night everyone~
