Talk About The Case

Chapter 19: Cross-examination

Leng Yu looked at the deceased woman for a while, frowning, because her expression looked like she had panicked, feared, and struggled. Moreover, her mouth widened as if she wanted to call for help, but was covered by someone, so she couldn't make any noise until the corpse was found in the morning.

Chen Chong stood beside Leng Yu and said: "When we received the report, the hotel staff came to their room in the morning, intending to wake the dead, but to no avail, it was not until the door was opened that they were found dead."

Leng Yu gave a soft "um".

After completing the preliminary investigation and collecting evidence, Leng Yu, Huang Lin, and Chen Chong once again walked out of Room 888.

Chen Chong ordered the other police officers to cover the two dead with white cloth, move them to the prepared stretcher, and then carry them into the police van.

When the body was taken out, many people still gathered in the lobby of the hotel. When everyone saw this scene, they realized that there had been a murder case, which inevitably caused another commotion.

Xiao Cheng and a group of police officers are maintaining order, and the hotel manager has also appeared to comfort them.

When Leng Yu looked at the corpse being carried out of the room, he looked back at Room 888 again. It was still messy, with red blood stains on the bed, the floor, and even splashed some on the wall.

"It seems that it will take a while to clean up the scene." Huang Lin said.

"Well, follow-up work is always annoying." Leng Yu said calmly.

"Such a murder happened, it seems that the hotel is luxurious, maybe no one dares to stay in for a while." Huang Lin said.

Leng Yu turned to look at Huang Lin, and suddenly asked, "Do you believe there are ghosts in the world?"

Huang Lin looked at her in surprise and asked, "What?"

Leng Yu then shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Huang Lin looked at her boss strangely, feeling that she seemed to be a little different since returning from the holiday. Leng Yu never believed in supernatural things in the world, so why now suddenly asked such a question.

She naturally didn't know that Leng Yu remembered the scene in the Lu Hongyun case that she heard from Lin Xin that the school security guard was afraid to enter the school's old dormitory in the middle of the night because of fear of ghosts.

When Leng Yu and Huang Lin came to the lobby of the hotel downstairs, Xiao Cheng came to them and said, "Boss, there are also several police officers stationed in the conference room. Under no special circumstances, the crew are not allowed to step out. Half a step in the meeting room."

Leng Yu looked forward and watched as the hotel manager was comforting the guests, and he responded to Xiao Cheng without looking back.

I saw the hotel manager sweating, no matter how helpless, he must have a smile on his face. After all, the mantra of customer first in the service industry has been clamored by the masses, so in any case, he must show great patience to deal with each other. A customer with weird behavior or character.

Xiao Cheng said next to him: "These guests will be arranged to move to several other hotels, where they will be blocked by the police."

Huang Lin asked: "Not every guest is willing to be sent to other hotels, right?"

Leng Yu said: "It's also the misfortune of these guests. They just happened to encounter such things. However, if the guests are unwilling, I think the hotel will at least pay compensation, right?"

Xiao Cheng said: "Yes, if you don't want to be moved, the hotel will make up for the compensation."

Chen Chong took down the entire printed guest list from the hotel counter, then rushed to Leng Yu's side and handed it to her.

After all, he is an old river and lake, and he is very quick to do things. After Leng Yu took the list from him, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Officer Chen."

It was the first time that Chen Chong saw Leng Yu's smile. Although it was only gently curling the corner of his mouth, it was enough to make him stunned for a while. It turns out that she laughs too, and she laughs so charmingly.

Such a beautiful woman chooses to become a police officer, even a serious crime team, and spends her time with corpses, gangsters, murderers, weapons, fists, etc. Isn't it dangerous?

Even though he thought so, he didn't dare to discuss Leng Yu in depth.

Leng Yu flipped the guest list to the last few days, and she found that Zhou Lianying and Zeng Weijian’s names were also on it. It seems that the names of other crew members should also be on this page.

She folded the list of pages she turned to and gave it to Huang Lin, then turned to Chen Chong and said, "It's also time for us to question the people in the crew."

Chen Chong led the three into the conference room. Leng Yu walked in first, opened the door and saw the male celebrity Zeng Weijian once seen on the screen.

I saw him sitting in a corner of the conference room. Although he was obscured by some crew members, it was difficult to conceal his extremely handsome appearance. The actor was really different from ordinary people.

Under such a beautiful appearance, she wondered how much time and money the entertainment company spent on packaging the artists under her. What the audience saw were the artists who had been packaged, but what was the life of these artists in private, but they couldn’t. Got it.

However, these are not things that Leng Yu is interested in.

Everyone in the room saw several police officers coming in, and everyone changed from being uneasy and impetuous to calm. Their crew covered the entire eighth floor of the hotel, and naturally heard about the murder and also knew about the death of Director Zhou and his wife.

Leng Yu glanced at everyone, except for Zeng Weijian, she didn't know any of them.

Everyone in the crew stared at this beautiful police officer. Although they thought she was very beautiful, everyone didn't dare to look directly at her. The look in her eyes gave rise to inexplicable fear.

The general public tends to be nervous about the police, especially now that after the murder happened, everyone is eager to get rid of it. They don't want this kind of thing to haunt themselves, and they are even more afraid of being targeted by the police as the murderer.

Leng Yu's gaze was a kind of majesty for them, and at the same time, she felt a chill. She was afraid that she would be upset, and then she might be involved in this unstoppable vortex.

Chen Chong stepped forward and said to everyone: "Everyone, I believe you have heard about the death of your director Zhou Lianying and his wife. For this matter, we will temporarily treat it as a murder case, so we want to deal with it. Every one of you makes a simple cross-examination. This is the procedure of our police. I hope you can cooperate."

When it comes to this point, who would dare not cooperate?

Leng Yu looked at a small room in the conference room. It was a small room for people to rest. There was a table and chairs in the room. Room for one use."

Chen Chong nodded knowingly.

As time passed bit by bit, everyone in the small room came in and out, and they were all simply questioned.

The initial interrogation did not take much time, and Leng Yu and others could not get a favorable result from their mouths. After saying goodbye to Chen Chong, the three returned to the Federal Police Station again.

Leng Yu watched the brief report recorded by Huang Lin in the car, frowning, and the three of them didn't say a word.

Huang Lin's report is as follows.

Participate in the movie: the jury. There are no names for the characters in this movie, and everyone uses numbers as code names to identify their identities.

actor:

Chen Kuang: As the number one actor in the movie. It is the first time that Chen Kuang has joined Zhou Lianying's crew. He has not had any negotiations with Zhou Lianying before.

Qian Hao: Acting as the second actor in the movie. Like Chen Kuang, he joined Zhou Lianying's crew for the first time and had not had any negotiations with him before.

Guo Yifan: As the third actor in the movie, ibid.

Li Cheng: As the fourth actor in the movie, he once played another movie by Zhou Lianying, but that was twelve years ago, as an unknown soldier in the movie.

Zhao Jiaren: As the fifth actor in the movie, like Chen Kuang, he joined Zhou Lianying's crew for the first time and had not negotiated with him before.

Wu Kai: As the sixth actor in the movie, ibid.

Huang Lei: As the seventh actor in the movie, ibid.

Zeng Weijian: Acting as the eighth actor in the movie. Seven years ago, he played the role of Zhou Lianying in another film "Liberation".

Li Quan: Acting as the ninth actor in the movie, same as Chen Kuang and others.

Roger: As the tenth actor in the movie, ibid.

Zhang Jianhui: As the eleventh actor in the movie, ibid.

Yan Huan: Acting as the twelfth actor in the movie, ibid.

Only two of the twelve have worked with Zhou Lianying before, and the remaining ten said that they have collaborated with Zhou Lianying for the first time, and they have never really contacted Director Zhou before.

Leng Yu flipped through another report. The lighting engineers, photographers, and other staff in the crew have followed Zhou Lianying for a long time. No such murder has ever occurred, including Li Guangyi, although he also served as his deputy director before. But they have never experienced any unpleasant events, let alone any conflicts.

Based on the report in hand, it seems that it really takes a lot of trouble to find out the real murderer.

Leng Yu stared at the report and asked, "Have you got the surveillance video from the hotel?"

Xiao Cheng said: "I got it, but..."

Leng Yu frowned and asked, "Don't you tell me that the monitor on the eighth floor happened to be turned by someone?"

"Yes, the boss, it was indeed transferred." Xiao Cheng said.

Leng Yu said: "When did it happen?"

Xiao Cheng said: "Just these two days, the hotel counter just told me about this."

Although knowing that surveillance may not help solve the case, because the murderer will definitely cover himself up when doing the crime, at least he can have a clue. Now even the surveillance is passive. It seems that the murderer has planned everything.

"Boss, in the cross-examination just now, everyone's confession didn't mention going out from the hotel room. It seems that they all have a perfect alibi." Huang Lin said.

"Well, and they all said consistently that after having dinner with Zhou Lianying outside, they went straight back to the room to rest, and never came out again." Leng Yu said.

"By the way, who is the hotel staff who found the body?" Leng Yu asked suddenly.

"That was the counter staff of the hotel. I was instructed to call Zhou Lianying to get up at 8 o'clock in the morning. They made a few calls and went to Room 888, but no one answered the phone, so they had to call him at the door of his room. But I still didn't wake up. So I used the spare key to open the door and found them dead in the room." Xiao Cheng said.

"Yeah." Leng Yu said softly.

After Leng Yu received the report, he leaned in the carriage and stopped talking. She closed her eyes slightly and reached out to touch her pocket, but she touched a cold object. She gently rubbed her fingertips, and her frowning eyebrows gradually loosened because of the bottle of medicated oil.
