love story

After discussing with Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin, Leng Yu unanimously decided to go to the Chuanshi Hotel.So, after reporting to Director Wang, they took another plane to Chuanshi.

When rushing from Yangshi to Chuanshi, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and Leng Yu and others arrived at the Sichuan Police Station.However, Officer Peng was not in the police station. A police officer there told them that Officer Peng had rushed to the Swan Hotel to collect information after receiving the notice from the Federation.

Leng Yu and others got into the police car and rushed to the Swan Hotel together.When they came to the hotel, they saw that it was just a small hotel, without the magnificence and scale of a city hotel.

The police officer driving said: "Officer Leng, the Swan Hotel is the best hotel in Sichuan. If businessmen from other places come here to discuss business, they will also stay in this hotel. It's just that the development here is not fast, so come here There are actually very few businessmen here.”

Leng Yu nodded and said, "Yes."

Then, she got out of the car and stepped into the hotel.

Leng Yu came to the counter and identified herself to the counter lady there.The lady at the counter saw that she had an extraordinary demeanor, and she was full of majesty. She seemed to have a lot of background, and she was more shrewd and capable than the police officer Peng who came just now.

She didn't dare to neglect, and said: "Officer Leng, Officer Peng came here just now. He asked me about the suite where Mr. Xu Linglong lived in December. It should still be there now. I'll take you there right now."

Leng Yu nodded, lowered her head and said a few words to Huang Lin, then signaled Xiao Cheng to follow her.

This hotel only has six floors, and the counter lady led them to the sixth floor, and then came to a suite, where the police officers were busy collecting evidence, while Officer Peng stood He walked out of the center of the suite and observed the layout of the suite.

Leng Yu casually glanced at the suite, and saw that the suite was exquisitely built, clean and tidy, revealing wealth and luxury.

Officer Peng looked around and saw that Leng Yu and others had arrived, so he quickly went up to meet him and said, "Officer Leng, we rushed here after receiving your news, but...it looks the same as usual here, And the hotel cleaners cleaned the suite and found nothing wrong."

The suite had been cleaned long after Xu Linglong left, so it was extremely difficult to find any evidence.Even if there are fingerprints, they have been wiped clean long ago.

Leng Yu said: "Well, after all, this is not a murder scene, and it is unlikely to leave evidence. Besides, who would have thought that Xu Linglong, who lives here, would be killed. But this also proves one thing, that is, he followed the normal procedures. Hotel check-in and check-out. Therefore, no one suspected his disappearance. Since this is the case, he may be the murderer who met after leaving the hotel."

Officer Peng said: "Yes, we also suspected this point, so we asked the hotel staff to adjust the surveillance to see that the time was reversed to the time after he started checking in and checking out."

"Did you find anything?" Leng Yu asked.

"Nothing has been found yet, everything looks normal." Officer Peng said.

"No suspicious person appeared?" Leng Yu asked.

Officer Peng smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "No. It's just that the surveillance video showed that he brought different women in when he returned to the hotel every night, but these women didn't stay overnight, and they were probably driven away by Xu Linglong immediately after the incident. gone."

At this point, Officer Peng coughed lightly and continued: "This hotel hasn't had many customers for a year, so apart from the woman he brought back, there is also a man named Ding Zhenghong who came here with Xu Linglong. .Although guests have come to check in one after another, they are all tourists, and they seem to be normal."

Leng Yu rubbed his chin and said, "Ding Zhenghong is Xu Linglong's subordinate. We only questioned him this morning. As for Xu Linglong, he is a womanizer, so the woman he brings back is probably a nightclub girl. Then, the corridor What about the corridor? Is there anything special about it?"

Officer Peng said: "There is nothing suspicious about the corridors and corridors on each floor except that the cleaners clean them up every day."

Leng Yu said: "This is strange. The Mr. Ding who came with Xu Linglong said that he received a message on the night of December No. 20, asking him not to send Xu Linglong to the airport, so we all It is suspected that he met an acquaintance that night, but the surveillance did not capture the words of other people, which is a bit strange."

Officer Peng frowned and said, "It's impossible to be invisible."

Hearing what she said, Leng Yu smiled lightly, and said, "There's no reason the murderer has special abilities, that's too illogical."

Until now, everyone is still clueless about Xu Linglong's sudden disappearance. The matter seems to be quite tricky, and nothing seems to be wrong in the hotel.

Leng Yu asked: "Officer Peng, have you obtained the complete list of staff in the hotel?"

Officer Peng said: "When I came in, I ordered the counter staff to print out a copy for us, and it is probably ready now."

Leng Yu gave a "hmm" and said, "Then let's go and have a look."

Officer Peng ordered other police officers to continue to search for evidence in the suite, while he followed Leng Yu and Xiao Cheng to the hotel lobby.

Leng Yu looked up at the surveillance cameras in the lobby, and saw that the positions were quite normal. They should be able to clearly capture everything in the hotel lobby, especially the guests checking in and checking out.

When the hotel manager handed over the list of employees to Officer Peng, the three of them got together to check the list.

Not far away, Huang Lin came to Leng Yu's side, she said: "Boss, the whole hotel seems to be fine, and the monitoring and so on have not been damaged."

Leng Yu sighed, she still hoped that Huang Lin could find out a clue, but it seemed that her hope was dashed.

She quickly collected her mood and stared at the hotel staff list again. There were several new employees on the list, and the date of entry was December [-]st.

So, she raised her head and asked the hotel manager standing aside, "Why did a group of new employees suddenly come in in December?"

The hotel manager didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly said: "We are just a small hotel with a small number of employees, and some of the hotel employees here want to go back to their hometown to spend with their families during the Christmas period. So during the holidays, we are afraid of the hotel There is not enough manpower in the village, so we recruited some temporary workers.”

"Are the temporary employees doing some cleaning work?" Leng Yu asked.

"Yes, they all do some cleaning work, such as cleaning rooms, cleaning corridors and corridors."

Leng Yu nodded, and continued to look down at the list.

There are four newly recruited employees on the list, two men and two women, and there seems to be nothing suspicious.

Leng Yu asked, "Aren't all the newly recruited employees here now?"

The hotel manager shook his head and said, "They all left after the holiday, and our small hotel can't support so many employees."

Leng Yu said: "This is a bit difficult, I still want to question them."

Leng Yu flipped through the list and saw that the address, name, gender, age, and even photos of the employees were filled there, but she didn't know whether the information was true or not.

Small-scale hotels often have less planning than large hotels, and they don't really check the background details of employees when they want to recruit, they just hire them temporarily to fill the vacancies.

Leng Yu closed the list and handed it to Officer Peng, knowing that there was nothing to investigate if he stayed here, so he said, "Officer Peng, let's take these surveillance videos back to the police station later, I want to review them again. "

Officer Peng nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that everyone can think about it together."

Then, the four returned to the police station again.

Officer Peng took them to the conference room and replayed the surveillance video obtained.

Leng Yu and the others sat in the conference room, their eyes locked on the video clip in front of them.Fortunately, the video footage obtained is quite clear, and you can clearly see all the actions of the people in the hall where people come and go, and you can hear the conversation between the residents and the counter staff.

Police Officer Peng was right, the surveillance showed that Xu Linglong checked in with Ding Zhenghong.It's just that Ding Zhenghong walked out of the elevator after reaching the third floor, while Xu Linglong walked to the presidential suite with his luggage after reaching the top floor, and didn't come out until he closed the door.

It wasn't until the next morning that Xu Linglong walked out of the suite again.Then, he met Ding Zhenghong, and after they had breakfast, they walked to the hotel's underground parking garage together.

Xu Linglong is a busy person. After going out in the morning, he didn't return to the hotel until after ten o'clock in the evening.From the monitoring, Leng Yu could see that this person was of medium build, with a broad forehead and wearing a pair of glasses. He looked like a very ordinary businessman.

Moreover, during this period, Xu Linglong looked good, and it seemed that the inspection of the scorpion farm went smoothly.

Just as Police Officer Peng said, he did bring different women to the hotel's presidential suite. These women were all heavily made-up, slim and charming.

However, the behavior of the nightclub girls was not enough to arouse the suspicion of Leng Yu and others. They all entered Xu Linglong's suite for a period of time and then left again.

Until they walked to the hotel lobby, they didn't find anything unusual.

Moreover, Xu Linglong also went out the next day as usual, and he didn't disappear or get hurt.

The video was played until the night of NO.20 in December, when Xu Linglong returned to the hotel again, but the difference was that he never brought any woman into the suite again.

However, he ordered food around ten o'clock in the evening.

From the video, Leng Yu and others saw a hotel staff pushing a dining trolley to deliver meals to Xu Linglong's room. After about 15 minutes, they pushed the dining trolley out again. During this period, they also met with the security guard who happened to be patrolling the corridor. Say hello.

Until the next morning, Xu Linglong appeared again. This time he wore a pair of sunglasses on his face, and went straight to the counter to check out. Then he turned left and walked to another passage of the hotel, and came to the parking garage.

Seeing this, Leng Yu suddenly said, "Let's call the surveillance camera in the parking garage."

Officer Peng agreed and changed the video.

At this time, everyone saw Xu Linglong walking into the parking garage alone, and saw him driving and leaving the hotel.

Leng Yu pressed the pause button, and said to the other three: "Don't you think it's strange? He, a big boss, even wants to drive by himself? And, have you noticed that he wears sunglasses. But, why does he wear sunglasses? Sunglasses? The size of the sunglasses is enough to cover half of his face. From the time he checked in to the time he checked out, he only put on a pair of sunglasses when he walked out of the suite on the morning of December 21. Obviously, he didn't want to let Man sees his own face."

Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin had already guessed what Leng Yu was going to say after hearing what she said.

She said slowly: "Unless on the morning of December 21, it's not Xu Linglong who came out of the room, but someone else."
