misplaced survival

"Tan Xia?" Song Zhou recognized the person in Jiang Xiyan's photo at first sight.

In other words, Zhang Wei knew about Tan Xia.

And Tan Xia followed Yi Xin into the toilet before Yi Xin died, leaving obvious traces of his existence.Then, the appearance of Tan Xia is probably not a coincidence.

"Any other clues?" Song Zhou asked Tao Yiran who sent the photo.

Tao Yitan shook his head, "Officer Jiang and Section Chief Bai are still fighting. There are so many pieces of paper in the shredder, I feel dazzled when I see them."

It is also thankful that Ye Wanrou did not clean up the traces of the study, and the things in the shredder are still there.

It's just not easy to put so many pieces together, not to mention there are so many distracting items.

In the physical evidence examination room, everyone dared not take a deep breath, beware of the shredded paper on the table flying away.

"Jump out the sticky fragments first, they should be destroyed at the same time, and some interference items can be eliminated."

Jiang Xiyan's calm voice came from under the mask. He calmly faced the shredded paper, searching for similar clues in it.

These things are waste for ordinary people, and they are things of no use value.But it is very important for physical evidence. Even if something is abandoned, there are traces of someone staying for it.

Jiang Xiyan carefully separated a piece of paper from the pile of paper with tweezers, and saw that there were many horizontal and vertical lines drawn on the paper, such regular shapes were very conspicuous in the chaos.

Bai Ya noticed Jiang Xiyan's intentions, and picked out the note that was separated just now and gave him the note, "I'm looking for this."

"Like." Jiang Xiyan took the clue from Bai Ya and placed it side by side with the note in his hand, but it was obvious that it didn't match right now.

"This looks like a building plan." Bai Ya looked at the lines on the note, frowned and narrowed his eyes.

Jiang Xiyan nodded slightly, he also had the same thought.

Bai Ya sorted the slips of paper, and handed over the slips with horizontal and vertical lines to Jiang Xiyan, and put aside the slips of paper with words on them. All physical evidence inspectors worked overtime, hoping to beat the time.

Song Zhou stood in front of the writing board, countless questions kept piling up in his mind, blocking his throat.

He could only repeatedly dismantle and reassemble all the clues in his mind.Faced with countless forks and countless roads ahead, he deliberated again and again without any impatience, just to seek the truth.

The police tracked her down for several months, but found that Ye Wanrou was right under their noses. Zhang Wei didn't deliberately hide her, but they never found the mechanism to open the door.

During the Yi Xin case, it only took 10 minutes for the police to arrive at the scene after receiving the call.

If the scene was to be cleaned up, it would be impossible to clean it up so cleanly that no trace of clues would be left behind.

Could it be that the police did not go to the real destination, the "casino" was not replaced, but was hidden like Ye Wanrou.

"Gao Mang." Song Zhou called out of the office.

Gao Mang immediately entered the captain's office upon hearing the sound, "Captain Song, are you calling me?"

Song Zhou nodded, "Please find a floor plan of Yaoming Hotel, and..."

His words paused, and after deep thought, he said, "What's next door to Yaoming Hotel?"

Gao Mang recalled, "It's a KTV, and it's also their business. It's usually very noisy. We even received several complaints."

Song Zhou was thinking, tapped his fingers on the table, and repeated Gao Mang's words.He suddenly seemed to be woken up, stood up and said, "In addition to the floor plan of the hotel, give me a copy of the floor plan of KTV, as well as their water and electricity bills in recent years."

"Then tell the others to come with me." Song Zhou said, and walked out with his equipment.

Gao Mang didn't react for a while, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Song Zhou: "Yaoming Hotel."

Hearing the siren of the police car outside the inspection room, Jiang Xiyan put down his work and looked up, feeling a strange feeling.

"What's the matter?" Bai Ya saw Jiang Xiyan's strange behavior, and thought he was reluctant to part with Song Zhou, and joked, "Don't worry, with Team Song's skills, no one can beat him."

Jiang Xiyan shook his head, "I believe him, but..."

He always felt that something was wrong, like in the summer, dark clouds accumulated in the sky for a long time, knowing that a storm was coming, but God just didn't rain, stuffy, heart palpitations, a breath of air in his heart, just a feeling that he couldn't vent .

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, put the last piece of paper in the gap of the fragments, and finally saw the pattern on the paper clearly.

The police car was parked downstairs of the Yaoming chain hotel. Seeing the ID presented by the visitor, the front desk did not dare to stop it, but secretly notified other staff members.

Two waiters rushed over upon hearing the sound, and greeted them with smiles, "Good evening, police officers! What's the matter with you all in our hotel?"

Song Zhou pressed the elevator downstairs, "Let's go to the scene of Yi Xin's death and have a look."

The waiter nodded when he heard this, "But the restaurant downstairs is still in operation, and there are still customers inside. Please police officers, please be considerate of the business."

Their underground restaurant had been closed for a long time because of the previous police case, and it was only recently reopened at the behest of the young owner.Unexpectedly, the police came to the door again, and they had to find an opportunity to inform the young owner.

"Of course." Song Zhou nodded cooperatively, because what the people here want the police to see is not what he wants to see.

The elevator door opened, and the waiter who was in charge of reception came up immediately, "Hi, please come to the restaurant."

"Let's walk around casually." Song Zhou didn't follow the waiter's instructions, but wandered around on the second basement floor, admiring the furnishings of the restaurant.

Qin Yan's taste is much higher than his father's, and he abandoned the magnificent furnishings, and designed it in a low-key and restrained way, but upon closer inspection, these things have a lot of background.

From the sofa to the long table are all custom-made, the tableware on the table is from Gaggenau, and even the chandelier on the head is a joint name of Hermès.

Breathe in the smell of money.

Song Zhou's gaze was fixed on the wall with the largest frame. The material of black gold granite complemented the high luxury of the interior, while the three opposite walls were embedded with mirrors, which opened up the entire space, and he didn't realize that it was only 200 square meters.

He stopped in front of the mirror, as if observing himself in the mirror, or looking for something.

Gao Mang found him the fire floor plans of the hotel and the KTV next door, which they had checked when they surveyed the scene before.

But there is one detail they missed, and that is water and electricity.

The KTV next to it pays more electricity bills than other stores every month, or even doubles.

Song Zhou was looking in the mirror, when he heard the phone ringing, it would be Gao Mang calling.

"Team Song, I checked it, and the wires are not aged, and there is no leakage. But the worker said that there is another wire connected under the meter, which goes underground."

Song Zhou: "Okay, I see."

He put away his phone, reached out and tapped on the mirror, and a muffled sound came from the mirror.He walked and knocked until one mirror sounded different from the others.

"I've always wondered how you cleaned up so quickly. We have witnesses who have been to your place, but according to their statements, nothing should have been found. How did you hide it so well?"

When investigating Jiang Xiyan's cement corpse case, they learned that Zhou Chengcheng used to be someone else's younger brother here, and Sun Chaoyang also came here to participate in gambling.But in the face of the interrogation, they didn't say anything strange about the furnishings here, as if they walked in normally.

So the police have always had a misunderstanding that the casino and the restaurant are the same place.

Song Zhou tapped on the mirror again, "Did you open it yourself, or should I have someone dismantle it?"

The attendants at the scene stood still, and no one dared to step forward.

The elevator sounded, and a man in a suit came out slowly. Seeing the police standing by the wall, his expression showed no panic. He waved his hand slightly and said in greeting, "Captain Song, long time no see! Why are you so angry?"

Song Zhou knew that the waiter would definitely notify Qin Yan, so he was not surprised by his arrival. He pointed to the mirror embedded in the wall next to him, and said in a deep voice, "Open it."

"What?" Qin Yan looked at the waiter next to him in surprise, not knowing what the policeman meant by saying that.

The waiter next to him explained: "The police suspect that this mirror can be opened."

Qin Yan was stunned, "Can this be opened? I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

Song Zhou: "Mr. Qin redecorated this place, so you don't know what is hidden behind this mirror?"

Qin Yan spread his hands, "I redesigned this place, but Team Song, this is an underground restaurant, and it feels a little depressing without windows, so mounting mirrors on the wall is an excellent way to expand the space. So I redesigned the rest of the restaurant. Changed, keep here. Is there something wrong with the mirror?"

Song Zhou understood what Qin Yan meant, "So this wall is still your father's masterpiece?"

Qin Yan smiled, "Obviously. I haven't touched this place. If you doubt it, just tear it down!"

As he spoke, he took a step back with outstretched arms, indicating that he would not interfere with the police's decision.

Song Zhou looked at Qin Yan. Every word he said was to shirk responsibility and clean himself up, but was he really clean?

When it comes to his biological father, why is Qin Yan so decisive without a trace of favoritism?

Song Zhou tilted his head slightly and said to Tao Yiran who was beside him, "Clear out everyone in the restaurant, find someone to open the door, and try not to damage the scene."

"Yes."

The sound of the phone disturbed the quietness of the physical evidence examination room. Bai Ya put down his work, went to the landline to answer the call, and immediately responded: "Okay, I see, I will arrange for someone to come over immediately."

Jiang Xiyan followed the prestige, "Do you want someone to come over?"

Bai Ya nodded, "Well, Team Song seems to have discovered the location of the casino, let's go and have a look."

"I..." Jiang Xiyan was about to express his participation in the survey, but when he saw the half-assembled fragments in front of him, he took back what he wanted to say.

He pursed his lips, "Bai Ke, take someone there, I'll finish putting the pieces together before going."

He wanted to go to the scene with him to find new clues and also to satisfy a little selfishness.

But Bai Ya's ability is not bad, he can also find clues, and his own selfishness can be placed in the back row compared with the case.

Furthermore, he has no habit of letting go of things halfway through. Zhang Wei's case is equally important. They must figure out how the two lives were lost.

"Okay, let's split up." Bai Ya nodded, and called other witnesses to bring tools and rush to the scene immediately.

After entering the hotel, they took the toolbox and went straight to the second basement.

Bai Ya used a flashlight to explore along the gap in the mirror, and the light could shine in. He poured some magnetic powder on the ground, and there were traces of being blown away. There is indeed a space behind the mirror.

He dipped the magnetic powder with a brush and swipe it on the mirror, and found that there were several fingerprints at about the height of his abdomen.

"Collect fingerprints first." Bai Ya asked the witnesses to take a sample, then he looked at Team Song and motioned, and lightly pressed the place where the fingerprints were densely packed, and he heard the sound of the magnetic clasp opening.

The mirror door popped out automatically, and there was also a mirror embedded in the door.

Bai Ya glanced at the size of the side, and pushed the mirror door to a 90-degree angle, just enough to be aligned with the load-bearing column on the side, blocking the front view.

"If that's the case..." Bai Ya walked to the other side of the load-bearing column, and found fingerprints on the mirror on this wall.

Then the mirror on this wall was also pushed to 90 degrees. The two mirrors and the load-bearing columns completely blocked the restaurant, so the guests who came did not notice anything.

There are two mirror doors, the mirror next to the main entrance has a solid back, while the other has a lot of space behind it.

That's what they've been looking for for a long time.
