demons lurk beside you

The four buried themselves in the search for the names and information of the male classmates who had attended the class reunion that night and checked in at the XX Hotel, and then circled them one by one on the paper with a pen.

During the period, Ms. Tang completed the rest of the list for them, and then stood by their side, watching them work hard.

Although she knew that the murder did not happen in the hotel, but the deceased had stayed in this hotel not long ago, so she did not dare to neglect, fearing that if she was not careful, she would bring trouble to the hotel.

After about 45 minutes, the 4 people finished comparing the documents in their hands.They handed over the circled list to Lin Xin and asked her to study it carefully.

Lin Xin re-checked the names they circled in her notebook one by one. After counting for a while, she pointed to her notebook and said, "There are 14 male students who have attended the class reunion. , at the same time staying in this hotel...”

She paused, looked up in the direction of Officer Wu, and said again: "Officer Wu, we will leave the tracking of these 14 men to the Public Security Bureau?"

"Well, leave it to us." Officer Wu nodded, then reached out to take the list and put it away.

He had to act quickly to quickly find the suspect among the dozen or so people.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the living room. Miss Tang walked to the door. When she saw that it was the floor manager in the hotel, she asked, "What's the matter? Can you mention it?"

The floor manager nodded and said: "We have followed your instructions and brought up the monitoring of Peng Jingchun's guest room floor, the monitoring of the hotel lobby 3 days ago, and the monitoring of the lobby when Ms. Peng left 2 days ago."

"Well, thank you." Miss Tang agreed, then turned her head to look at Lin Xin and the others again, waiting for their orders.

When Lin Xin heard the news from the administrator, she beamed with joy and said, "Thank you very much, Deputy Manager Tang. After we mentioned the monitoring, we will take it back to the bureau to observe the situation of the hotel that day. Where you cooperate, I hope you can cooperate with us."

Seeing that the police officers didn't make things difficult for her anymore, Ms. Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's okay, as long as there is something that can help you, we will definitely do our best."

Later, the four returned to the Public Security Bureau again.

They came to the conference hall, and Police Officer Wu turned on the player and said, "Let's take a look at the surveillance video in the hotel lobby three days ago."

"Okay." Lin Xin nodded.

The 4 people then sat in their chairs and watched the video.I saw that the situation in the hotel lobby three days ago was as usual, and the guests were walking freely in the lobby. When the shadows of Leng Yu and Lin Xin appeared in the lobby, Officer Wu couldn't help laughing and said, "Officer Lin, you and Officer Leng is indeed a perfect match."

Yang Cong stared blankly at the backs of the two of them, and said, "Sister Lin, why didn't I know that you have such a good figure."

After hearing this, Mei Hua rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Is our sister Lin's figure something you can talk about casually? Also, if Officer Leng hears what you said, be careful that she peels your skin."

Yang Cong quickly stopped talking, covered his mouth with his hand, and quickly said to Lin Xin: "Sister Lin, I didn't mean that, don't tell Officer Leng."

Lin Xin smiled and shook her head, pouted into the video and said, "Let's continue watching the video."

Men, no matter what kind of woman they see, they will always look at the other person's figure first.Yang Cong is a typical straight man in the bureau, it would be strange if he didn't read it.

No suspicious person was found in the hotel lobby video. When the Cai brothers appeared in the lobby, Mei Hua pointed to Cai Jiaxun in the video and said, "What's wrong with him? Why is he always scratching his head? Then, why is he standing in front of him?" The man next to him is always holding his hand? Are you afraid that he will get lost? "

Lin Xin smiled slightly, then recalled the scene of the Cai brothers that night, couldn't help but sighed and said: "The two of them are brothers, but the younger brother suffers from severe mental retardation, while the older brother is a normal man. The older brother is my classmate, His name is Cai Jiazhen, and he said it was to celebrate his younger brother Cai Jiaxun’s birthday, so he brought him all the way from Longshi, and let him take advantage of the class reunion to join in the fun, which is considered to be his birthday celebration.”

"What? Isn't it tiring to walk around with such a mentally handicapped brother?" Officer Wu asked with a frown.

"I can't help it. The two of them have never left Dragon City, and their family is also poor. This time they have a rare opportunity, so they came here." Lin Xin said slowly.

When they mentioned the Cai brothers, Lin Xin rolled her eyes, as if she remembered something.She quickly took out her small notebook, and when she confirmed that the Cai brothers had stayed in the hotel that night, she quickly said to Officer Wu: "Officer Wu, quickly look at the list, I want to know what kind of room the Cai brothers stayed in." Number."

Then, she turned her head and said to Yang Cong: "Yang Cong, let's first check the room floor monitor where Peng Jingchun stayed at the hotel that night."

Although they didn't understand Lin Xin's intentions, they all followed suit.

"Sister Lin, what's the matter?" At this time, Mei Hua asked.

Lin Xin frowned deeply, and murmured: "I don't know, but I always feel that Cai Jiazhen's purpose in coming to Dragon City is not just to celebrate his brother's birthday, I think..."

Before she finished speaking, Police Officer Wu shouted: "I found it, the room number of the Cai brothers' room is 1415!"

Lin Xin's eyes lit up immediately, and she said, "Peng Jingchun lives in room number 1416, which is right next door to his brothers!"

"What's wrong with living next door?" Officer Wu put down the list in his hand and asked curiously.

Countless scenes that she saw in high school flashed through Lin Xin's mind at this moment, but this did not mean that Cai Jiazhen's every move was related to this murder case, so she did not intend to tell them the reason first, but said: " I have asked Yang Cong to play the surveillance video of the 14th floor, let's take a look first."

Everyone looked at the surveillance video with doubts, and some didn't understand why Lin Xin suddenly suspected the Cai brothers.

However, everyone knew that Lin Xin must have a good reason for doing this, so she didn't ask any more questions, but carefully observed the video.

The corridors in the surveillance video are quiet, except for occasional figures of guests entering and leaving the room.When the time of the surveillance video pointed to 10 o'clock, Peng Jingchun's figure suddenly appeared.

Lin Xin pointed to the woman in the video and said, "She is Peng Jingchun."

After everyone listened, they watched the video attentively.However, just after Peng Jingchun walked into her room, there was no more movement.

"Peng Jingchun is the classmate who left at 9.45:14 in the evening. She should have checked in to the guest room after she left again, so the time when she appeared on the [-]th floor is just right." Lin Xin folded her arms and said. .

Lin Xin still remembered the time when Peng Jingchun left the classmate reunion that night, so she was not surprised that she appeared outside her room at around 10 o'clock.

However, after everyone waited for a long time, they did not notice any movement.Lin Xin watched the time in the video pass by bit by bit, and then waited until the time in the video showed 11.30, only to see the figures of the Cai brothers appearing together in the video.

"They have appeared!" Yang Cong shouted.

Lin Xin gave a "hmm" and said, "Let's continue watching."

At this time, her face had turned serious, and her lips were tightly pursed.

Just after the two of them closed the door of the hotel room, there was no more movement.

Half an hour later, the door of Room 1415 was opened from the inside, and Cai Jiazhen's figure appeared again.He looked left and right in the corridor to make sure that there was no one in the corridor, then sneaked out of Peng Jingchun's room door, and quickly knocked on the door 3 times.

Then, Peng Jingchun's room was quickly opened, and after Cai Jiazhen went in, he never came out again.

"Yang Cong, you can watch the video, I want to see when he comes out." Lin Xin said in a deep voice.

After Yang Cong agreed, he followed the video to watch.When he dragged on until 2 o'clock in the morning, he saw Cai Jiazhen walking out of Peng Jingchun's room and sneaking back into his own room again.

After that, it never appeared again.

It was not until the next morning that Peng Jingchun and the Cai brothers left the hotel room one after the other.

"So, Cai Jiazhen came to Yangshi for this class reunion to catch up with Peng Jingchun, right?" Officer Wu turned to Lin Xin and asked.

"It's not so much reminiscing about the old days, it's more about coveting Peng Jingchun's beauty." Lin Xin said.

"Then what should we do now?" Plum Blossom, who was sitting on the side, asked.

Lin Xin stood up from her chair and said solemnly: "During high school, all my classmates knew that Cai Jiazhen fell in love with Peng Jingchun very early on, but they didn't expect that after so many years, he still likes him. It's just that the love this time is the same as that of Peng Jingchun when he was a student. Like it may be different. I don't know what they said and did in Peng Jingchun's guest room that night. Therefore, I have no way of knowing whether he killed Peng Jingchun's murderer. But his actions that night are enough It aroused my suspicions."

Lin Xin paused for a moment, then slowly glanced at the crowd, and said, "So, we have to fly back to Longshi to find them, and then I will personally ask Cai Jiazhen what did he do in Peng Jingchun's guest room that night?" what."

"Sister Lin, what else can the two of them do in the hotel room?" Yang Cong said.

Lin Xin smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you find out? Why did Peng Jingchun's clothes after her death be the same as the clothes she wore when she came to the classmate reunion? Didn't she change her clothes in the past few days? We were in the woods this morning When she was found, her body hadn't decomposed, so it didn't take too long to die. So, what did she do these few days, and why didn't she even change her clothes?"

"Sister Lin, do you mean..." Yang Cong's eyes widened, and when he said this, he already knew what Lin Xin wanted to say next.

Lin Xin nodded and said, "She has bruises and signs of being sexually assaulted, so I think the murderer and her should be acquainted, so they have the opportunity to deceive her and imprison her in one place. When he wanted to kill her, he took her into the woods, sexually assaulted and killed her again"

"But what about those high heels? Could it be that Cai Jiazhen really has a soft spot for high heels?" Officer Wu expressed doubts again.

"I don't know, that's why we have to fly back to Dragon City to find out." Lin Xin said firmly.
