I'm gone

hotel.

This is a famous hotel in Tokyo.

It has well-equipped facilities and is well received by guests.

But presumably after something like tonight happened, the hotel's passenger flow would drop significantly.

Because it is suspected that a cleaning homicide occurred.

This is a murder case that could not have been committed by anyone but cleaning.

The surveillance camera in the corridor took pictures. The general process is that the cleaning staff knocked on the door, the deceased came out, the cleaning staff entered the room with the deceased, and the cleaning staff left. The friend of the deceased who lived upstairs waited for an hour for the deceased’s appointment, so he came to the room Looking for the deceased, because I couldn't get in, I asked the hotel staff to help open the door, but I didn't expect to find the body lying on the ground as soon as I entered.

The problem now is that from the last time the surveillance footage captured the deceased to the discovery of the deceased's body, only the cleaning person had entered and exited the deceased's room, and only the cleaning person might have committed the crime.

But the organizers, pretending to be cleaning staff, are fighting it out.

He said that the victim was still alive when he came out. He had no motive, no weapon was found on his body, and he had no smoke reaction, so he could not be the murderer.

Indeed, the victim was shot dead by a bullet and died. Since the murder weapon was a gun, the murderer must have a gun.

Cleaning had the opportunity to hide the murder weapon, because between the time he left the deceased's room and the time the deceased's body was found, he went up to another floor to clean, and he had the opportunity to hide the gun in a guest's room—about this At this point, the police have sent people to investigate the room that was cleaned after cleaning, but the results have not yet come out.

But the murder weapon is one thing, and the smoke reaction is another.

Because if you shoot with a gun, it will definitely leave traces on your body. The police can detect such traces, but after searching Baojie's body, there is indeed no smoke reaction on Baojie's body.

After temporarily excluding cleaning, the case suddenly reached a stalemate.

So, in a room where there is only the deceased, how did the murderer kill the deceased and then escape from the secret room under surveillance?

In fact, there is another possibility, that is to turn out from the hotel balcony.

However, the distance between the two balconies is not small, not to mention that there are guests on both sides, not to mention how the guests found out that someone climbed over to the balcony of their room, it is said that the guests and the murderer conspired, but the surveillance did not show any evidence from the guests. Suspicious people coming out of the room - no one they've been in was photographed.

As for flipping down or from the upper room, it is even more impossible, because the height difference between the upper and lower balconies is very large, even stuntmen and gymnasts cannot easily do it, and the risk is greatly increased. If there are no safety measures, it will fall if you are not careful. Judging from the height of the deceased's room, it must be smashed to pieces, and it may even become a pool of mud.

Even so, the guests in the left and right rooms and those in the upper and lower rooms were called in by the police for interrogation. At the time of the incident, they all stayed in their own rooms and did not go out, but they did not see anyone coming in from their rooms.

Of course, if the occupants of the rooms on the left and right are murderers, that’s another matter. They may carry out activities on the balcony on the other side without being photographed by the surveillance cameras. Due to the night and height, it is difficult to be noticed. arrive.

However, after investigation, the room below the deceased and the right side of the deceased's room were vacant, and the room above the deceased lived in the deceased's friend.

However, according to the testimony of the deceased’s friend, his right hand was in plaster, and his left hand was weak due to poor rest. Without the help of a ladder, it was impossible to perform the miracle of turning down the balcony to commit a crime and then turning back up again.

As for the occupant of the room to the left of the deceased...

"Miss Yamada."

Someone behind him whispered Yamada Naoko's last name.

Naoko Yamada, who was also listed as one of the suspects, stood aside to observe the progress of the police. When she heard the voice, she turned her head subconsciously, and her eyes fell on the crowd of onlookers. After Isshiki called out a second time, She followed the sound and found two young men wearing hats.

A man and a woman, she doesn't know the woman, and the man is born of the same color.

Yamada Naoko was surprised: "Aioi-kun."

"I'm here to see what's going on." Yihui Xiangsheng said concisely, "This is my friend..."

Keel put on a mask on the way to the hotel, and said in a low voice: "You can call me Kuraki." She took a made-up name.

"Hello, Ms. Kuraki." After shaking hands with Keel politely, Naoko Yamada had nothing to say to Kiel afterward. She turned her eyes to Isshiki and gave a brief overview of her side, " I come here to stay for the performance of the troupe introduced to me by Mr. Suzuki tomorrow."

Yihui Xiangsheng nodded: "We have already understood the general situation of the case."

"Cleaning is currently the most suspected." After pondering, Naoko Yamada expressed her own judgment.

The cleaning wears a hat, mask, gloves, and work clothes. It is entirely possible to put a change of clothes in the cart with cleaning tools before the murder, and then change all the clothes on the body after the murder. Throw your clothes into the garbage bin.

As for the murder weapon, it's the same principle, hiding it beforehand and dealing with it afterwards.

However, Isshiki vetoed Naoko Yamada's judgment: "He cannot be the murderer."

Isshiki looked at Kiel beside him.

Keir also nodded. Coincidentally, the cleaning was a grassroots member of the organization, and their miniature camera was pinned to their collar. The whole process of cleaning the victim's room was captured by the camera, so the cleaning did not lie. Still alive, the homicide happened after cleaning left.

Of course, that tiny camera obviously couldn't be used to help prove Cleaning's innocence.

So we can only start from other aspects.

Isshiki shook his phone and asked for Naoko Yamada's contact information, then operated the phone and sent a text message to Naoko Yamada: "I know the murderer and the evidence."

Naoko Yamada returned to the police in order not to attract attention. She leaned against the wall and used her mobile phone awkwardly.

She has never experienced the reasoning ability of Yihuxiangsheng, but she knows that Yihuxiangsheng is not a big talker. When she saw the message about Yihuxiangsheng, she couldn't help opening her eyes wide.

Gere is close to Isshiki.

Since he was unable to speak, his hand speed has been tempered, and he can completely communicate with people like a verbal conversation: "The murderer is a friend of the deceased. The evidence is that he is still holding it on the phone. s things."

"I still hold it in my hand..."

Keir and Naoko Yamada looked at the friend of the deceased at the same time, and their eyes fell on the other's casted hand.

"Could it be..."

The murderer is now so bold that he holds the murder weapon in the palm of his hand, and then wraps a bandage around the hand holding the murder weapon, creating the illusion that he is injured?

"The injury should be real." Isshiki added, "It's just that the left hand was injured instead of the right hand. He just changed the concept secretly, so the reply from the hospital to the police was that his hand was seriously injured. He should be himself. The plaster was removed."

The murderer's left hand dropped to one side, and it hadn't changed its position since just now.

"So that's it." Kiel nodded, "Wrap the gun up and shoot, and then just replace the bandage." The bandages used at the time of the crime can be disposed of in many ways, such as cutting them into pieces and throwing them in the toilet to flush them away.

"What about the secret room method?" Yamada Naoko asked, "He must have used some special method to escape upstairs—how?"

"Memory metal." Isshiki raised a term, "Fix a simple ladder made of nickel-titanium alloy on the balcony. As long as you don't have stage fright, you can move between the upper and lower balconies with one hand and two feet, and then move the ladder Things that can be restored to other shapes with high temperature can be used to deceive the world."

Yamada Naoko's eyes flashed.

Keir was thoughtful: "It's a rough method, a clumsy hiding method. After a long time, the police will naturally find the loopholes. No wonder you said..."

No wonder Yise Xiangsheng said that the grassroots members of the organization can solve it by themselves.

Kiel's muttering was not heard by anyone except Yishixiangsheng. When Yishixiangsheng looked over, Kiel naturally changed the subject: "I'm curious why he took the risk to carry a gun on his body, Throwing it directly on the spot is better than today's practice."

Isshiki was typing on his mobile phone. After he showed the information to Keir, he sent the information to Naoko Yamada: "Because there are other goals."

"So his goal is not to get rid of the crime, but to continue killing people. I think the goal should be—"

Before Yihuxiangsheng finished typing the next words, his hands trembled when he was shaken by the voice of the visitor, and he sent the message.

Takagi Wataru and Chiba Kazunobu came to report.

"Officer, we found something suspicious at the crime scene." Gao Mushe rushed towards Memu Shisan holding a miniature camera wrapped in a handkerchief with a panicked expression.

Chiba and Shinobi came later, his complexion was indescribably complex and subtle, and his steps were much faster than Takagi She, but seeing Takagi She quickly presented the evidence with both hands, he stopped and prepared to wait for Takagi She After the situation report is over, I will explain some incredible facts to Mu Mushisan.

Seeing Takagi Tsutomu in the room coming out with that kind of thing, the expressions of two or three people present changed.

And these people all have one distinctive feature.

That is about organization.

Because of that tiny camera, there is no doubt that the organization wholesaled it from the laboratory for this operation and then distributed it to the organization members who came to the hotel to perform tasks.

Cleaning has that thing on her body, and the surveillance footage seen by Yihuixiangsheng and Keir was captured by that micro-camera, and other members of the organization involved in this latent operation also have it.

If that thing is found in the room, doesn't it mean...

The deceased was a member of the organization?

So who is the guy who claims to be the friend of the deceased?

The cleaner's eyes instinctively fell on the collar of the deceased's friend, it was clean and there was nothing on it.
