Talk About The Case

After discussing with Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin, Leng Yu unanimously decided that he must go to a hotel in Sichuan. So after they reported with Director Wang, they took a plane to Sichuan again.

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

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 only a small hotel, without the magnificence of a city hotel, and its scale was not large.

The police officer who drove said: "President 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 merchants here."

Leng Yu nodded and said: "Yeah."

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

Leng Yu came to the counter and showed her identity to the counter lady there. Seeing her extraordinary temperament, the lady at the counter was full of majesty. It seemed that she had a lot of origin, and was more shrewd and capable than the police officer Peng who had just arrived.

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

Leng Yu nodded, bowed his head and said a few words to Huang Lin, then motioned to Xiao Cheng to follow him.

The hotel was only six floors. The lady at the counter led them to the sixth floor, and then to a suite, where the police officers were busy collecting evidence while Officer Peng was standing there. Going to the center of the suite, observe the pattern in the suite.

Leng Yu glanced at the suite at will, and saw that the suite was built very exquisitely, clean and tidy, and rich and gorgeous.

Officer Peng looked around and saw Leng Yu and the others arrived. He greeted him quickly and said, "Officer Leng, we rushed here after receiving your news, it's just...it looks like it's normal. And the hotel cleaners also cleaned up the suite, and found nothing wrong."

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

Leng Yu said, "Well, after all, this is not the scene of the murder. It is unlikely that evidence will be left. Moreover, who would have thought that Xu Linglong, who lived here, would be killed. But it also proves that he followed normal procedures. Hotel check-in and check-out. Therefore, no one suspects his disappearance. If this is the case, it is also possible that he was the murderer he met after leaving the hotel."

Officer Peng said: "Yes, we also suspected that this point was reached, so we asked the hotel staff to adjust the monitoring and see that the time went backwards back to the time between his check-in and check-out."

"Anything to find?" Leng Yu asked.

"I haven't found anything yet, everything looks normal." Officer Peng said.

"No suspicious person appeared?" Leng Yu asked.

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

When talking about this, Officer Peng coughed slightly and continued: "This hotel hasn't had many customers for a year, so in addition to the woman he brought back, there is also a man named Ding Zhenghong who came here with Xu Linglong. Although there have been residents coming over to check in one after another, they are all tourists and they all seem normal."

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

Officer Peng said: "There is nothing suspicious about the corridors on each floor except that the cleaners clean 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 evening of December 20th, telling him not to send Xu Linglong to the airport, so we all It’s a little strange to suspect that he met an acquaintance that night, but the surveillance didn’t even take pictures of other people.”

Officer Peng condensed his eyebrows and said, "It's impossible to be invisible anymore."

Leng Yu chuckled lightly when she said this, and said, "There is no reason why this murderer has supernatural powers, it's too illogical."

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

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

Officer Peng said: "When I came in, I asked the staff at the counter to print out a copy for us. It is estimated to be ready now."

Leng Yu gave an "um" and said, "Then let's go take a look."

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

Leng Yu looked up at the surveillance in the lobby and saw that the location was quite normal. It should be possible to clearly capture everything in the hotel lobby, especially the guests checking in and checking out.

When the hotel manager handed over the staff list to Officer Peng, the three of them gathered to check the list.

Not far away, Huang Lin came to Leng Yu's side, and she said: "Boss, the whole hotel does not look bad, and the surveillance and so on have not been damaged."

Leng Yu sighed. She also hoped that Huang Lin could find out a trace, but it seemed that hope was shattered.

She quickly picked up her mood and stared at the list of hotel staff again. There were several new employees on the list. The date of entry was December 1st.

So she raised her head and asked the hotel manager who was standing by: "How come a group of new employees came in suddenly in December?"

The hotel manager didn’t dare to neglect, he said hurriedly: “We are just a small hotel with a small number of employees. Then there are some hotel employees here who want to go back to their hometown during Christmas to spend with their families. So during the holidays, we are afraid of the hotel. There were not enough staff, so some temporary workers were recruited."

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

"Yes, they all do some cleaning work, such as cleaning the room, cleaning the corridors and so on."

Leng Yu nodded, and continued to lower his head to look at the list.

There are four new recruits on the list, two men and two women, and it doesn't seem to be suspicious.

Leng Yu asked, "Are these newly recruited employees not here anymore?"

The hotel manager shook his head and said: "They all left after the holiday, and our small hotel doesn't have the ability to raise so many employees."

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

Leng Yu looked through the list and saw that the employees’ address, name, gender, age, and even photos were filled in there, but he didn’t know whether the information was true or false.

Small-scale hotels are often less well-planned than big hotels, and they didn't really check the background of the employees when they wanted to recruit. They were just hired temporarily to fill the gaps.

Leng Yu closed the list and handed it to Officer Peng, knowing that there is nothing left to check if he stays here, so he said: "Officer Peng, let's take these surveillance videos back to the police station later. I want to watch 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 they obtained.

Leng Yu and others sat in the meeting room, their eyes locked on the video footage in front of them. Fortunately, the video footage obtained is quite clear. You can also clearly see all the actions of the people in the crowded lobby, and you can hear the conversation between the residents and the counter staff.

Officer Peng was right. In the surveillance, only Xu Linglong checked in with Ding Zhenghong. Only after Ding Zhenghong got to the third floor, he walked out of the elevator, while Xu Linglong walked slowly to the presidential suite with his luggage after reaching the top floor, and never came out again after closing the door.

It was the next morning that Xu Linglong walked out of the suite again. Then, he and Ding Zhenghong rendezvous, and they went to the hotel's underground parking garage together after eating breakfast.

Xu Linglong is a busy man. After he went out in the morning, he didn't return to the hotel until more than ten in the evening. Leng Yu can see from the surveillance that this person is of medium build, with a wide forehead, and wearing a pair of glasses. He looks like an ordinary businessman.

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

As Police Officer Peng said, he did bring different women to the presidential suite of the hotel, all of them with heavy make-up and slim posture, very charming.

However, the behavior of the nightclub girls was not enough to arouse the suspicion of Leng Yu and others. They all left after entering the suite where Xu Linglong was staying for a period of time.

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

Moreover, Xu Linglong also went out the next day as usual, but he did not disappear and was not injured.

The video played until the night of December 20, when Xu Linglong returned to the hotel again, except that he never brought any women into the suite again.

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

From the video footage, Leng Yu and others saw a hotel attendant pushing the dining cart to Xu Linglong’s room. After about fifteen minutes, he pushed the dining cart out again. During the period, he was patrolling the corridor. The security greeted.

Until the next morning, Xu Linglong appeared again. This time he wore a pair of sunglasses on his face and walked 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.

When seeing this, Leng Yu suddenly said: "The monitoring in the parking garage, let's call it in and take a look."

Officer Peng agreed and changed the video.

At this time, everyone saw Xu Linglong walking to the parking garage alone, and after seeing him driving, they left the hotel.

Leng Yu pressed the pause button and said to the other three: "Don’t you think it’s weird? He is a big boss even driving by himself? And, have you noticed, he wears sunglasses. But why should he wear sunglasses? Sunglasses? Those sunglasses are big enough to cover half of his face. From his check-in to check-out, he only put on a pair of sunglasses when he walked out of the suite on the morning of December 21st. Obviously, he I don't want people to see my face."

When Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin heard her say this, they had already guessed what Leng Yu was going to say next.

Just listen to her slowly saying: "Unless on the morning of December 21st, it is not Xu Linglong who came out of the room, but someone else."
