This NPC really has a problem

Chapter 56 The Murderer

"I was quite surprised that Guan Yi came to complain to me before." Lu Qian said suddenly, "I thought that Xiao Meng would not dare to go west when he pointed to the east. I didn't expect that he would dare to find someone to confide in private."

Boss Lu said, "Guan Yi doesn't seem to love Xiao Mengban very much."

It's hard to imagine him as a man who obeys his girlfriend.

"It's true that he doesn't like Xiao Mengban much, but who can make Xiao Mengban bring him the greatest benefits?" Lu Qian said with a sarcasm, "Xiao Mengban's father is the principal of the art academy we attended. Dong, Guan Yi had poor grades in high school, if it wasn't for Xiao Mengban, he wouldn't have been able to get into this school at all."

"Xiao Mengban is probably aware of this, so she doesn't think Guan Yi is much in her heart. Guan Yi is not so much a boyfriend to her as a dog who comes and goes when she is called." Lu Qian said, "I didn't know his nature before, and fell in love with him blindly. After he and Xiao Mengban got together, I was glad that these two people could harm each other. I don't know where Guan Yi got the confidence to think that I still like him. Find me What does it mean for me to complain and be ambiguous?"

Lu Qian sneered: "Do you think I'm a spare tire?"

Boss Lu thought that Guan Yi was really overconfident if he dared to treat a girl with Lu Qian's personality as a backup.

"Boss heard what I said," Lu Qian said slowly, "Don't you think I'm very suspicious?"

Boss Lu shook his head: "I think the murderer is not among you."

"Oh," Lu Qian dragged her voice out, "Then the boss agrees with my previous guess. In fact, there is no murderer. Is Xiao Mengban's fall completely accidental?"

Perhaps because of telling some heavy past events, Lu Qian's voice and tone were a bit sharp, which made people feel very uncomfortable.Boss Lu's expression did not change, nor did he point out Lu Qian's extreme state at this time.

There was too much grievance between Lu Qian and Xiao Mengban. At any time and at any place, Lu Qian never concealed her dislike for Xiao Mengban. Even if Xiao Mengban was brainless, it was impossible for Xiao Mengban not to discover this. .

No one will be wary of a person who deeply loathes himself.

Lu Qian and Xiao Mengban have similar physiques, and Lu Qian had injured her hand, she was unable to forcibly throw Xiao Mengban down the stairs, and the relationship between them also made Xiao Mengban inevitably wary of her.

Lu Qian would not be the murderer.

If Lu Qian wasn't the murderer, then Guan Yi couldn't be either.Although what he said didn't quite match what Lu Qian said, those contents were just his own beautification. Guan Yi didn't lie about the fact that he and Lu Qian were on the balcony when Xiao Meng fell halfway from the building.

The involvement of interests made Guan Yi very afraid of Xiao Mengban. After the accident, he didn't know that Xiao Mengban was dead, so he would pull Lu Qian to hide on the small balcony and dare not come out, so as not to be seen by others. The reason why Guan Yi and Lu Qian were the last among the few people who came out of the hotel to check the situation.

Chang Rou always had a guilty conscience when she spoke.

It was this guilty conscience that made her tell Boss Lu what she was doing when Xiao Mengban fell from the building for the first time and said unnecessary words.She didn't open the window to see who fell from the building. The moment she heard someone fall from the building, she subconsciously thought that the person was Xiao Mengban who had been verbally abused by her.

Boss Lu silently thought that Chang Rou and Xu Liao were not the murderers either.

Guan Yi once said that when he was on the balcony, he seemed to see Xu Liao go to the opposite room.It is possible that Xu Liao went to Chang Rou's room, but it is also possible that he went to Xiao Mengban's room.

If he went to Chang Rou's room, then the murderer must not be him.Chang Rou quarreled with Xiao Mengban shortly before Xiao Mengban fell from the building—even if Guan Yi and Lu Qian on the balcony couldn't hear the sound, Yu Xiao who was drunk couldn't hear it. The guests in the room would not be able to hear it. It is meaningless for Chang Rou to lie about such a matter that can be found out by asking.

Same as the reason why Lu Qian was not the murderer, Xiao Mengban's vigilance would not be so low that a person who had just quarreled with her could be pushed downstairs.Chang Rou is not Guan Yi, she is used to being scolded by Xiao Mengban, and she still has a big enough handle in Xiao Mengban's hands, when she is scolded, she only dares to listen but not to resist.

Chang Rou made an alibi for Xu Liao. She obviously didn't have much affection for the spare tire, and she had no reason to perjure herself.

Therefore, after hearing Chang Rou and Xiao Mengban's quarrel, Xu Liao left his drunken roommate to go to Chang Rou's room to comfort her, and they did stay together when Xiao Mengban fell from the building.

These reasonings are too complicated to say, and the interval between Xiao Mengban's return is getting shorter and shorter. After confirming that Xiao Mengban's companions are not the murderers who killed her, Boss Lu does not want to waste more time with Lu Qian. much time.

After he got up and said a brief goodbye, he left their room.

Boss Lu didn't leave the fourth floor. He turned around, took out the key and opened the door of Xiao Mengban's room that he had locked before.

What Lu Qian proposed was indeed a possibility. Xiao Mengban's fall from the building was a complete accident. It was only because of her bad personality and broken brain that she repeatedly returned to the hotel to drag people to be buried with her.

But Boss Lu knew of another possibility not long ago.

After closing the door behind him, Boss Lu quickly scanned the room, and finally landed on the place where Guan Yi took his luggage.There is also a backpack in that place, which must belong to Xiao Mengban.

Xiao Mengban's bag is much more expensive than Guan Yi's bag.

Boss Lu went forward to open the backpack. The zipper of the backpack was not pulled to the end, leaving a small part.

It seems that when you pull on the backpack in a hurry, there will be a small extra.

Unzipping the zipper, I saw that the contents of the backpack were in a mess, and there was a thin knitted coat inside.Boss Lu had an impression of this dress, it was worn by Xiao Mengban when he entered the hotel.The temperature in the hotel was higher than outside, so Xiao Mengban took off the clothes and put them in his backpack when registering his name.

The knitted jacket was supposed to be on the top of all the items in the backpack, but the miscellaneous things were turned up, and the jacket was pressed underneath instead.

Boss Lu dug out all the things, and after he couldn't find what he was looking for, he searched the other corners of the room again.

He finally stopped in front of the backpack again, his eyes heavy.

No wallet.

Miss Xiao Mengban has a bad temper and has a lot of opinions on Boss Lu's small and old hotel. She refuses to use the sterilized towels prepared in the hotel and insists on asking Boss Lu to buy a new one.

Boss Lu doesn't care, Xiao Mengban pays, he provides services.

Xiao Mengban paid for the towels himself, and the one who collected the money was Boss Lu who was at the front desk.Boss Lu still remembered that Xiao Meng didn't even put down her backpack at that time, so she hurried downstairs to tell him about buying new towels. Before Boss Lu could say the price, she took out her wallet from her backpack.

In Xiao Mengban's whole body, only the knitted coat has a small pocket. Although her wallet is also small, it cannot fit into the pocket of the coat and can only be put in the backpack.

When Xiao Mengban opened the wallet in front of Boss Lu, Boss Lu vaguely remembered what was inside.

Large-denomination banknotes, several cards of unknown value, and a bracelet with expensive jade.

The wallet was now gone.

Boss Lu didn't know what was missing from Xiao Mengban's backpack except the wallet.

What Bai Zhu learned from Xu Yan was correct. Xiao Mengban committed suicide when he fell from the building, but it was not because of hatred, but because of seeking money.

And it might not just be about money, either.

Since the murderer was able to push Xiao Meng down the stairs when Xiao Meng was unprepared, it must have been easy to steal the wallet while she was unprepared. The fluke mentality of being discovered will not want to take a life on his back.

But Xiao Meng was half dead.

She was an arrogant girl from a superior family. She always treated people with a domineering attitude. She never concealed her wealth, no matter who she was facing.

Boss Lu guessed that there was such a person in his hotel, living in a difficult life, because poverty can be said to be embarrassing, he envied Xiao Mengban's wealth, and was deeply jealous that she could have a rich life.

With such hatred, he pushed Xiao Mengban down the stairs.

Who will that person be?

There were not many choices. After Xiao Mengban's companions were all eliminated, and Boss Lu himself was excluded, there were only ten people left in the hotel.

The murderer was a poor man who knew that Xiao Mengban was rich and would not be guarded by her when entering her room.

He wasn't among the people who were leaning out of the window upstairs that Boss Lu saw when he looked up.Even if the people living on the third floor cannot be ruled out for this reason, at least the waiter Xiaozhen must not be.

The choices are few and far between.

Boss Lu already has a candidate in mind.

He just needs to find some more clues to prove his guess.

……

Xu Yan knocked on a door opposite him, and he remembered that a tall man with beards lived there.

Before going out, he received a message from Bai Zhu. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xiaozhen, the waiter who was suspected of being the most suspected murderer, was excluded by Boss Lu as the murderer, and there were reasons and evidences that could not be refuted.

Xu Yan couldn't think of who the murderer might be for a moment, and it seemed that the most likely murderer had returned to the few companions of the deceased.Xu Yan originally wanted to stay in the room and forget about going out, but remembering what he told Boss Lu earlier that the third floor would be handed over to him, he decided to go out to try his luck.

Maybe he found an extremely important clue just by searching casually?

Xu Yan thought about it, but unknowingly, his thoughts went wrong again.

...He was so active in helping people find clues, Boss Lu wouldn't doubt that he was actually the murderer.

Xu Yan was taken aback by his own thoughts, and knocked on the door in front of him with a trembling hand.

No one responded.

Xu Yan probed, and tapped twice again: "Is anyone there? I want to come in and ask for some clues."

"Uh, some bad things happened before, and you should have heard it in the room." Xu Yan thought about his words, "We guess that the dead will not come back after the murderer is found, so I want to ask if you have any questions?" Valuable leads..."

There was a muffled sound from inside.

"Please wait."

After a while, the door opened.

But there was no one inside.
