demons lurk beside you

The four rushed back to the Public Security Bureau again.At this time, it was already around 4 in the middle of the night.

"How are you doing? Can you continue to work?" Lin Xin asked as she walked.

"We're fine. Now we're getting closer to the truth, but I'm very energetic." Officer Tang said quickly.At the same time, a little smile appeared on his face.

Now, as long as they can find out the identity of the mysterious woman, they can quickly solve the case.At least, that's what Officer Tang thinks.

However, Lin Xin was not very optimistic about this, because she felt that there were still some things that she hadn't fully clarified.

For example, even if she saw the mysterious woman appearing in the hotel, she had indeed been in contact with Dong Hongwei, but so what?Because the deceased can no longer speak, so who will tell them who this woman is?

However, in order not to let others lose their willpower, Lin Xin kept this concern in her heart.Now, they have grasped some new clues, so they must continue to analyze the new clues.

Perhaps some clues can be seen.

Before entering the conference hall, Police Officer Tang whispered to one of the junior police officers on duty: "Make us a pot of coffee, Officer Lin and I have to work overtime tonight."

After the little policeman agreed, he quickly ran to the tea room and prepared a pot of coffee for them.

After Officer Tang poured a cup of coffee for each of them, he also poured himself a cup.He took a sip of coffee, then looked in the direction where Lin Xin was sitting, and saw that she was frowning deeply, sitting quietly aside, as if thinking about something important.

So, he touched Yang Cong's arm lightly, and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Can we start watching the surveillance video?"

Unexpectedly, before Yang Cong agreed, Lin Xin's voice came from the other side: "Well, we can start."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Officer Tang's face. He had obviously lowered his voice, trying not to disturb Lin Xin's thoughts, but he was still heard by the other party.

However, he didn't think too much, he just said quickly: "Okay, let me play the surveillance video for you first."

Officer Tang immediately turned on the video, and everyone sat in their seats, drinking coffee and watching the video.

Through the surveillance video, we can see that the lobby of the "Rose Hotel" seemed a little deserted last Friday night.The flow of people in the hotel lobby is not particularly high, only hotel guests in twos and threes come in and then go out, so as long as there are particularly prominent or suspicious characters, it is easy to be noticed.

Since the "Rose Hotel" is a cheap hotel, the hotel guests who come to stay are not considered to be luxuriously dressed and dignified people.

They are just businessmen who happened to pass by here to do some small business, or some young people who came here to look for flowers, and even college students who came to the hotel to open a room.

Lin Xin and the others were watching the video patiently, and found that the "Rose Hotel" in the video did not show any upper-class people in well-fitted suits or luxuriously dressed.

They waited until the video time showed 11.48 p.m. before they saw the two women walking into the hotel with each other's arms.

When they took a closer look, they saw that the two women were not actually supporting each other, but another woman was holding another woman's waist, and walked slowly to the front desk of the hotel.

Lin Xin stared closely at the two women, and recognized one of them as Dong Hongwei.

"Sister Lin, the woman on the left is Dong Hongwei." Mei Hua whispered to Lin Xin, looking at the video with her eyes.

"Hmm. The other woman may be a strange woman who asked Lu Feng to dance. Did you see it? She also wore a pair of high heels. Both women came here wearing high heels, so it can be explained that they should have just come from Come out of the bar, and then, all the way to the "Rose Hotel" to stay." Lin Xin also said softly.

Later, everything played in the video was exactly what Ms. Jian at the front desk of the hotel said.After the strange woman settled Dong Hongwei, she came to the hotel lobby by herself, and then left the hotel without looking back.

At this moment, Officer Tang turned to Lin Xin and said, "Officer Lin, this strange woman is really mysterious. She avoided the surveillance video the whole time, and I couldn't even see her face clearly."

"Haha, Police Officer Tang has also noticed. She seems to be very familiar with the location of the hotel's surveillance video, which makes me even more suspicious of her." Lin Xin said.

"Why?" Officer Tang asked.

"Because this woman doesn't seem to live in Long City, but she seems to be very familiar with the location of the surveillance video here. Does she often come to this hotel to stay? If so, then why does Chen from XY Bar The manager said he hadn't seen her? Why?" Lin Xin asked, turning her head to look at everyone.

"Sister Lin, you are right. But why is this happening?" Mei Hua asked at this time, and at the same time thought that what the boss said was very reasonable.

Lin Xin sighed, and said, "I'm still thinking about this problem... But let's continue watching, maybe there may be other discoveries."

So, the four looked up at the video again.After they watched for nearly 4 hours, they found that apart from the men and women who came in from the hotel in twos and threes, they no longer saw any suspicious characters.

Lin Xin turned her head to Officer Tang and said, "Officer Tang, let's take a look at the surveillance video of the day Dong Hongwei checked out."

"Okay." Officer Tang agreed, then changed to another video, and then played it again.

At this time, Lin Xin and the others continued to sit on the chairs and watch the surveillance video.Just when they saw that the time shown in the video was 9.50 in the morning, they saw Dong Hongwei appearing in the lobby again.

"Sister Lin, she has appeared again!" Yang Cong called softly.

Lin Xin just said "hmm" and stared at everyone in the video, including Dong Hongwei.

When Dong Hongwei was checking out, her expression seemed to be in a hurry, and at the same time she seemed a little uneasy, and she didn't know why.

Later, when Lin Xin noticed that Dong Hongwei was frequently looking in one direction to the right, she said to Police Officer Tang, "Officer Tang, you pressed the pause button at 10.03 am when the recording time was just displayed."

Officer Tang looked at Lin Xin suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you see it? Dong Hongwei has already looked to the right for a few seconds for the third time. What is she looking at?" Lin Xin said quickly.Then, she added: "I suspect she's looking at someone."

Officer Tang was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what Lin Xin said. He quickly changed the video to 10.03 minutes, and then pressed the pause button.

"Look, she is looking at this side." Lin Xin pointed to the east direction on the screen and said.

The other three people followed the direction Lin Xin was pointing at and saw a man standing there, about one meter away from Dong Hongwei.

"Sister Lin, she is indeed looking at that man!" Mei Hua shouted loudly at this time.

"Officer Lin, does that explain..." Officer Tang paused when he said this, and turned to look at Lin Xin, expecting what she would say next.

"Yes, I suspect that she has been watching this man since she checked out. I noticed the man standing there the first two times, and Dong Hongwei also looked in that direction frequently. So, this shows that What? This shows that Dong Hongwei knows this man, and this man is most likely the murderer who killed Peng Jingchun, Chen Yanling and Dong Hongwei!" Lin Xin said firmly, with a chill in her tone.

"But, Sister Lin, we can't see the man's face clearly. He seems to be dodging the camera." Mei Hua said again.

Then, Yang Cong also interrupted at this time and said: "Sister Lin, he not only dodged the camera, but also deliberately asked Dong Hongwei to check out by herself, so that no one else would suspect him. Another point is that if this name The man really imprisoned Dong Hongwei, so why did Dong Hongwei feel so scared and didn't immediately ask the front desk for help?"

"Yang Cong is right. If this man is really the murderer, why didn't Dong Hongwei immediately send out a call for help while the man was one meter away from her?" Officer Tang agreed with Yang Cong's point of view and asked.

Lin Xin smiled, stood up and began to walk back and forth in the conference hall.After a long time, she turned around and said to everyone: "The reason is very simple. First: The murderer should have got hold of some of Dong Hongwei's private affairs, in order to coerce her to check out obediently, instead of taking the opportunity to seek help or escape. Or else Well, Dong Hongwei is just a college student who is still studying. She may only want to save her life and obey the murderer's words, but she didn't think of asking for help. However, I still think my first statement is more reliable."

"What did the murderer know about Dong Hongwei?" At this moment, Officer Tang asked again.

Lin Xin smiled again, raised her eyebrows and said: "During the few days they were in the hotel, the murderer must have done that to her, and then probably recorded the video of him sexually assaulting Dong Hongwei with his mobile phone. The murderer did After so many preparations, I must have already included this move, so I recorded the video first, and then used it to coerce Dong Hongwei to submit obediently!"

"But even so, we couldn't find out the identity of the murderer, and he avoided the camera very cleverly." Mei Hua once again brought up the suspicious points seen in the surveillance video.

But at this moment, Lin Xin's head buzzed again, and the vague, flashing thoughts before suddenly appeared in her mind very clearly.

I saw a triumphant smile on her face, and this smile made Yang Cong and Meihua who had followed her for many years immediately know that she had completely sorted out all the chaotic thoughts and ideas trapped in her head.

"Everyone, both the murderer and the strange woman cleverly dodged the camera, what can you think of?" Lin Xin asked with a smile, her face full of confidence.

When the three people under the seat looked at Lin Xin's pretty face, some thoughts also faintly surfaced in their minds.However, are these ideas a little too bold?Or would it be too absurd and unimaginable?

However, none of them dared to speak out what was hidden in their hearts. It wasn't until Lin Xin asked again: "Have you seen a movie called "The Silence of the Lambs?" before Yang Cong blurted out. : "The murderer and the strange woman are the same person!"

The author has something to say: "The Silence of the Lambs" has always been the author's favorite movie, so the case of high heels is also inspired by this movie.
