Neverland

The water glass in his hand changed from hot to warm, and the minute hand of the wall clock on the wall moved forward by five or six grids.

The young man clasped the paper cup with both hands, and the tiger's mouth was a little red from the excessively high water temperature.His thumb unconsciously pinched the rim of the cup, tearing the inside of the rim until it was frizzy, like a dog chewing on it.

The door of the No. [-] inquiry room has not been opened since it was closed. The one-way glass wall is pitch black, and it is impossible to tell what is going on outside.Ji Dong knew very well that during this period of time, the second criminal investigation team should be busy looking for clues outside.

The simultaneous investigation of the three cases will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of solving the case exponentially, but due to the particularity of the personnel involved in this case, the more cases there are, the easier it is to investigate the case.

In fact, Ji Dong is not too worried that he will be suspected. He thinks that he is frank and innocent, and there is no clue to connect him with the murderer, so there is really no need to worry.

It's just that his mobile phone was also routinely confiscated, which made him a little uneasy.

The minute hand slowly moved forward one more grid, and Jiong Yi began to become a little anxious after being alone for a certain period of time. He didn't know if anyone was checking the situation in the house outside the wall, so he tried his best to control his obvious anxiety Performance - but he failed.

Ji Dong's eyes kept wandering between the wall clock and the glass wall. Every 2 minutes, he had to recall the time he entered the interrogation room, and then calculate the remaining time he had to stay here.

Unconscious mechanical calculations and repeated memories were like a spoonful of hot oil, not only failed to calm Lin Yi down, but intensified the nameless evil fire in his heart.

——I can't stay here forever, Ji Dong nervously twisted his index finger, thinking anxiously, I still have things to do.

Ji Dong was very familiar with the terrain of the Municipal Bureau. The inquiry room he was in was at the innermost side of the corridor, and there were two other inquiry rooms with the same layout. The three rooms were adjacent to each other, all in the corridor on this side.

Except for Yan Cen who came back with Xu Muzhou, Qin Huai and Lin Yi almost arrived at the city bureau. The curly hair is loose, and it is attached to the shoulder blades softly and obediently. The lipstick is extremely bright red.

Lin Yi was one step behind Qin Huai at that time, seeing her being "invited" into the gate of the Municipal Bureau - she should be in the inquiry room next to him now.

Ji Dong's fingers moved unconsciously, the paper cup shook, and a few drops of water splashed from the rim of the cup and landed on the back of his hand.

He squeezed the cup tightly and stared fixedly at the opposite wall with burning eyes, as if he could see Qin Huai's back from the solid wall.

But Ji Dong soon realized that his emotions were not right, he took a few deep breaths, and forced himself to divert his attention.

Ji Dong finally let go of the soft paper cup in his hand, drank the cool water in one gulp, and stood up from the chair.

He is only cooperating with the investigation, which is far less serious than a "criminal suspect". Although he cannot leave within 24 hours, he is still free in this room.

Ji Dong walked around the room twice, walked to the opposite wall uncontrollably, and reached out to touch the cold wall.

The soundproofing of the inquiry room is very good, not to mention that there is a thick wall between the two rooms. It is almost impossible to hear anything from here.

However, Ji Dong couldn't help sticking to the wall, trying to find out what was going on next door.

Although Lin Yi knew it was futile to do so, he still vaguely felt that he seemed to hear extremely small voices.

The voice was as small as mosquitoes and flies, whispering, although the voice was small, it was noisy, as if the voices of several people were intertwined and could not be heard clearly.

The more Ji Dong wanted to concentrate on listening, the more he felt that he couldn't concentrate. He was too nervous, his chest heaved violently, a large area of ​​transparent color appeared in front of his eyes, and his eyes were very dazzled.

There was a buzzing in his ears, he couldn't help shaking his head, and cold sweat broke out on the corner of his forehead.

——I killed the person, Ji Dong suddenly heard the other person say so.

Lin Yi was taken aback for a moment, and quickly moved closer to the cold wall. He was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, and he was severely hypoxic. The color blocks in front of him were layered on top of each other, and there was almost no good place.

Qin Huai's voice was charming and presumptuous, and Ji Yi could almost imagine her always being so superior. She was obviously a second-rate star who didn't make it to the stage, and she didn't know who gave her confidence. Everyone looked at her with disdain.

——Nothing, I pushed him to the ground and stabbed him in.

Ji Dong stuffed his thumb into his mouth and gnawed viciously at his nails. The tender flesh between the nails cracked a wound, exposing the bright red blood inside.

——I knew it, Lin Yi thought bitterly, I knew it!

He straightened up abruptly, feeling a strange sense of mission spontaneously.

Ji Dong turned around and took a few steps, reached out and grabbed the doorknob of the inquiry room, but hesitated the moment he opened the door.

In just a few short steps, he seemed to have regained the sanity he had lost for a short time. He clenched his fists and looked at the iron gate in front of him in a daze.

——No, Lin Yi thought, he can't just leave like this, Qin Huai is a cunning and cruel woman, he should think again carefully.

This is a conspiracy, and to protect himself, he must be foolproof.

Ji Dong suddenly let go of the doorknob as if he had been scalded, and took two steps back abruptly. His shadow was shortened sharply under the lamp, and finally huddled peacefully under his feet, forming a small ball.

It only takes half an hour for Shanghai to recover, and within half an hour from dawn to daylight, it is enough for the city to go normal step by step.

— but the resort area is clearly not one of them.

Unlike the city center where you have to step on the second hand to catch the subway, the suburbs are closer to the pure tourism industry incubation base because the entire area has been designated as a resort and tourist area.

Seven o'clock in the morning on a weekday is exactly the unpopularity of the unpopular hours - most of the working parties have already checked out at [-]:[-] noon on Sunday, and the remaining vacationers will never climb up like masochistic at this point. Get up and feel the "sunrise".

The resorts here in the suburbs are scattered, there are more than one, such as hot spring resorts, recuperation leisure and entertainment clubs, everything in a mess.

Xingshan Resort is on the inner side of the entire suburb, covering a large area, and it is one of the main resorts here.When Xu Muzhou followed the navigation to find it, the staff at the front desk were still taking a nap behind the tall marble countertop.

There are colorful and green plants everywhere here, Xu Muzhou couldn't find a parking lot for a while, and didn't bother to look for it, so he simply parked the car at the entrance of the main building, he slammed the door behind him, looked up at the sign on his head, and made sure Wrong place, just followed the revolving door and walked in.

This resort should also have hot spring services. As soon as Xu Muzhou entered the lobby, he felt that the moisture in the air exceeded the standard, and the warm, soft and humid air rushed towards his face. It was like two seasons outside.

The front desk was awakened by the automatic welcome voice, and stood up from behind the counter in a hurry, with red marks from sleep on the side of his face.

"Hi, hello." The little girl hurriedly said, "Do you want to check in?"

Xu Muzhou looked around, walked to the counter, took out his police officer certificate from his pocket, and showed it to the other side.

"Get to know the situation." Xu Muzhou said.

The little girl immediately became vigilant, and she habitually twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a standard service smile full of commercial meaning.

"Then I'll find our supervisor for you." The little girl said, "You can ask him if you have anything."

"Don't worry." Xu Muzhou smiled with his eyes bent, put his police officer ID back into his pocket, and asked, "Let me check a resident's information... well, he should have checked in last Friday, and Sunday Check out in the morning, called Yan Cen, do you have any impression?"

The little girl was probably an intern, and she hadn't seen much of the world. When she encountered this situation, she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing and lose her job, so she smiled again, and discussed with a flattering tone: "Brother, Friday is not my class. Let me call you our foreman, do you think it will work?"

Xu Muzhou sighed, seeing that the little girl was really frightened, so he nodded and agreed without forcing her.

The foreman came very quickly. She was a woman who looked about 30 years old and was very capable.

"I want to investigate a resident's information." Xu Muzhou said, "It's called Yan Cen, Shan Jincen, who checked in on Friday night."

The foreman checked his police officer ID, and after confirming that it was genuine, he nodded politely at him, opened the cabinet door at the front desk, and signaled Xu Muzhou to go in and check their system information.

The weather on Friday was not very good, and there were not many customers staying. The foreman found Yan Cen's information after turning to the second page.

"Here." The foreman pointed to one of the lines of registration information and said, "It's a customer who booked online. The check-in time is after [-]:[-] p.m., and they checked out on Sunday morning."

"Did he order supper in the early morning of Sunday?" Xu Muzhou asked again: "Who delivered the meal at that time, can we find out?"

"Wait a minute," said the foreman.

After a while, the head waiter nodded and said, "Yes, this gentleman ordered room service at three o'clock in the morning and ordered a type A set meal. At that time, the delivery person was..."

The foreman frowned, for a moment he couldn't remember who was on duty that night.

"It's Brother Li." The little girl from before said, "He was on duty that night."

"Is he there?" Xu Muzhou asked.

"He works night shift today." The foreman picked up the intercom and said, "Let me contact him."

That "Brother Li" must have been a little dead asleep, and the phone was connected after calling twice. Xu Muzhou pressed the speakerphone and simply asked on the phone: "Do you remember that it was past three o'clock in the morning on Sunday? Have you delivered a meal to the guest room?"

The man on the other side of the phone probably had just been woken up, and his reaction was a bit slow. He thought for a while on the phone before answering: "Oh yes, yes, I wondered who ordered supper at that time."

"Who took the meal?" Xu Muzhou asked.

"It's a man." Xiao Li said, "He's quite young, he doesn't look like he's 30 years old."

"Are you sure he's a guest?" Xu Muzhou asked again.

"This..." Xiao Li was a little embarrassed: "I can't be sure, and I don't know this guest, so I just take care of the guest room, and I don't know about the check-in."

Xu Muzhou thought for a while, and changed his mind: "When picking up the food, did you come in and deliver it, or did he come out to get it?"

"He came out to get it." Xiao Li said firmly: "I was pushing the cart at the time, and I wanted to bring it in for him after knocking on the door, but he said no, and brought it in by himself."

"Thank you." Xu Muzhou said, "The information is very useful."

Xu Muzhou hung up the phone while talking, and turned to look at the foreman.

"Excuse me, where is the corridor monitoring in that guest room?" Xu Muzhou asked.
