The small auditorium of Nancheng Hotel seemed particularly dull and silent today.

The windows were closed to prevent people from jumping off the building. As a result, the atmosphere in the small auditorium with nearly a hundred people must have been dull.

The police outside the door were heavily armed and guarding the door, and there were many plainclothes people inside the auditorium, all of them serious. With the arrival of a group of leaders and members of the task force, no one dared to speak.

Today's guests are also very special. They have a common characteristic, and they are all related to the Qinghe Teahouse fire case on March 18th.

Sitting on the left are people from the original Qinghe Teahouse. In the row in front are five people in charge. The teahouse manager is Yang Yadi, the deputy manager is Gao Yushan, the director of the administrative department is Shao Qingping, the manager of the catering department is Li Agui, and the director of the lobby department is Guo Juan. Behind them are

There were forty-two employees sitting there, evenly divided between men and women.

The reason why he didn't "invite" all the employees of Qiqinghe Teahouse was because Xiang Tianliang believed that those who didn't want to come had already been eliminated from his suspicion list.

The person sitting on the right should be the audience of today's show, Chen Lin, the owner of Qinghe Teahouse. Accompanying Chen Lin are Liu Qingqing and Li Yajuan. Both of them strongly requested to listen, and Xiang Tianliang opened the back door, followed by Xiang Tianliang.

Three classmates at dawn

, Xie Na, Zhang Lihong, and the big hippo Ma Yunxia, ​​followed by the members of the March 18th Fire Investigation Team, some comrades from the municipal legal system and the municipal fire department, and finally seven or eight plainclothes police officers, all under Yu Zhonghao.

The guest sitting in the middle has a somewhat special status.

They were all guests who appeared at Qinghe Teahouse on the night of March 18th.

Of course, they were honored to attend all thanks to Xiang Tianliang's set of logical reasoning. Together with Yu Zhonghao and Xiao Jiannan, he first came up with a series of conditions, and then based on these conditions to check those guests who had been at the fire scene. In the end, the remaining

These are the current guests.

Sitting in the first row were guests in private room No. 509, Qiu Zili, director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, and Qiu Zili's wife, Fang Wei.

In the second row, seated were guests from private room No. 503, Zhang Xiaoyang, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, Zhang Xiaoyang's wife Li Meili, Mao Guilin, principal of Qinghe No. 1 Middle School, and Mao Guilin's wife Chen Yang.

In the third row, there were guests in private room No. 418, two couples, Tian Yongbo, director of the Municipal Civil Defense Office, Tian Yongbo's wife Zheng Shaohua, Wang Yichao, deputy director of the Municipal Labor Bureau, and Wang Yichao's wife Wu Yue.

In the fourth row, seated were the guests in private room No. 407, Ma Tao, deputy director of the Municipal Customs, and Li Liping, deputy director of the Municipal Taxation Bureau.

In the fifth row, seated were the guests of Private Room No. 322, Gao Lai, Vice President of Municipal Normal University, Li Chongzhi, Director of the Teaching and Research Office, and their three female colleagues.

In Xiang Tianliang's mind, the people in these five private rooms meet the following standards he set for x:

1. A native of Qinghe;

Twenty or thirty years old or above;

3. Higher education level and IQ;

4. Either served as a soldier, a businessman or a public official;

5. Be a frequent visitor to Qinghe Teahouse and have a VIP card;

On the night of June and March 18th, all private rooms were reserved by phone;

7. There were no more than two male guests in the private room at that time;

8. Later supplementary investigation showed that they all actively participated in fighting the fire and rescuing people, and they all evacuated the teahouse from the temporary staircase.

Xiang Tianliang was sure that the person he was looking for must be among these people.

The atmosphere in the small auditorium became even more tense because of the presence of the leaders on the rostrum.

Focusing on the heart is paramount.

This time, Xiao Jiannan was in charge of the opening remarks. Yu Zhonghao was not murderous enough, so Xiao Jiannan stood on the rostrum, like an iron tower, with his hands on his hips, his face stern, not angry or intimidating.

"Everyone is nervous? Nervous is good, nervous is good, nervousness can make you prick up your ears and listen to me... Today, I have invited you people here to announce something that will make you more nervous... You all give me

Listen carefully, the fire that happened in your Qinghe Tea House on the night of March 18th was not an accident, but a carefully planned murder. Someone wanted to use the fire to kill people..."

"We call the murderer who planned the fire and murder x... This x first sent someone to add poison to the tea, which stunned the four guests in the private room No. 211, and then forced the four people to drink. Finally, on the 21st

Two private rooms, Zero and 212, set fire to each other at the same time in an attempt to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces of them. Unfortunately, God is not as good as God, and we found out his conspiracy."

"Then you have to ask in your heart, why did you call me here... Do you want to know? You must want to know, so I will tell you... because the murderer of the arson and murder case at the Qinghe Tea House on March 18th is none other than you.

middle……"

Deathly silence.

The air is freezing and everyone is dumbfounded.

Then, the radio in the small auditorium began to play the case introduction that Yu Zhonghao had just given in the small conference room.

"... First, in the Qinghe River next to the tea house, about 1.2 meters from the water, there is a fence made of fine wire. During the fire that night, nearly 80 people jumped into the river to escape. It was

Because of this fence made of thin wire, jumping

No one drowned in the water, but we all know that it is forbidden to set up any underwater obstacles in the Qinghe River. We think that someone set them up in advance after knowing that there was a fire. At that time, the water temperature was less than 5 degrees Celsius, and the river channel

The water is eight meters deep, again

At night, most of the people who jumped into the water to escape could not swim. Without this fence made of thin iron wire, I don’t know how many people would have drowned... Second, the so-called internal employee-only staircase was the source of the fire within a week.

It was just done a while ago, it’s simply

It is the roughest wooden staircase in the world. It seems to be a one-time staircase made to meet the construction deadline. It is placed in front of the tea house, only five or six meters away from the tea house door. It is used to evacuate people in an emergency.

Best location, and laid in

The fence net in the water had the same purpose of rescuing people. It had the same purpose. Without this temporary staircase, the more than 100 guests and staff would have been injured and killed that night...Thirdly, that night

The business was so good, but the teahouse was short of manpower, but the management of the teahouse refused to let everyone stay at their jobs. Instead, they convened a meeting of more than a dozen people and put the meeting venue on the fifth floor. According to our investigation,

The tea house has never summoned five people during work before.

For meetings with more than one person, we can think about it. When a fire broke out, the guests were panicked. It was the fearlessness and calm response of the people attending the meeting that allowed so many guests to be evacuated quickly and safely without any death. So

We believe that this meeting was deliberately arranged... Based on the above information, we conclude that this was a carefully planned murder. Setting fire to the tea house was not the purpose, but the means, to destroy the body.

To destroy the traces and cover up the facts of the crime..."

Xiao Jiannan stepped down from the podium and began to walk in the auditorium. His eyes were as wide as bells, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, scanning everyone's back.

Yu Zhonghao also stood up and walked off the podium. As he walked, he looked into everyone's eyes and faces.

One looked at his back and the other looked at his eyes.

This is Xiang Tianliang's design. He believes that observing a person and looking into his or her eyes can certainly provide insight into his psychology, but looking at his or her back can frighten people even more, and it is easier to destroy a person's psychological defense line.

Because a person's back is undefended.

On the radio, the case analysis that Xiang Tianliang had just done in the small conference room began again.

"...At around two o'clock in the afternoon on March 18th, at the invitation of this x, Zhao Liqing, manager of Beijing Dadong Trading Company, An Wensheng, assistant manager of Beijing Dadong Trading Company, Zhong Yun, deputy manager of Dongjiang Foreign Trade Company, Qinghe Port Authority

Zhong Ming, the security section chief, and four other people came to Qinghe Tea House to drink tea in private room No. 211... We still don’t know whether x was present at the time, but even if x was not there, usually

Through the people he placed in the teahouse, the murder plan was still realized. A certain waiter secretly mixed the tea with a tasteless and tasteless drug, intoxicated the four people by drinking tea, and then forced them to drink, creating

Pretend to be drunk, so that even if other guests or service staff see it, they will not suspect it. Finally, wait for the guests in private rooms 210 and 212 to leave and cause an accident.

The fire broke out... However, there is God's will in the dark, and any criminal behavior will reveal flaws. In this case, x had three major flaws. First, the series of fire prevention measures in the restaurant before the fire and the restaurant's actions on the night of the fire

The management meeting was purely a cover-up. There is no silver 300 taels here. Secondly, x has never met Zhao Liqing before and doesn’t know him well enough. I don’t know that he doesn’t know how to drink.

Moreover, he was a teetotaler, so forcing him to drink would be self-defeating. Thirdly, x did not expect that after the fire broke out, the fire department came very quickly, and the teahouse was located by the Qinghe River, with easy access to water. Although the entire teahouse was destroyed,

But the bodies of Zhao Liqing and four other people were snatched out in time, which not only told us that Zhao Liqing had been forcibly drunk, but also found anesthetics in the four corpses..."

Yu Zhonghao and Xiao Jiannan are still "inspecting".

"Crack."

Suddenly, a young male waiter fell to the ground among the teahouse employees.

Xiao Jiannan came over, leaned over and saw that the person had fainted. With a wave of his hand, two plainclothes men came over and carried the fainted person out.

The psychological warfare was initially effective. Yu Zhonghao and Xiao Jiannan looked at each other and admired it in their hearts.

Xiang Tianliang was also happy. He really didn't expect that the psychological warfare the teacher mentioned was so useful.

The person who fainted and was carried out was one of the key suspects in the case.

At this time, Xiao Jiannan began to implement the second step of psychological warfare.

leave.

"Everyone, listen up. Anyone on the right who has nothing to do with this case, whether male or female, will leave the small auditorium immediately. Those in the middle and on the left, women, will leave immediately...quickly, leave quickly."

Leaving has become what some people desire most at this moment, and the departure of others is a mental torture for those who have not left.

The rest are all men.

Some people were shaking, some were sweating, some people's faces changed...

Finally, someone spoke.

"Secretary Duan, I protest, this is persecution against us."

The person who raised his hand to speak was Ma Tao, deputy director of the Municipal Customs.

"Director Jiang, why do you doubt us?"

This is Gao Lai, the vice president of the Municipal Normal University, speaking.

Jiang Yunlong, director of the Provincial Public Security Department, had an expressionless face and closed his mouth tightly, not wanting to speak at all.

Duan Renjie, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, said seriously: "You have found the wrong person. Director Jiang and I are not in charge of this place today."

"Your protest is invalid. If anyone speaks again, I will seal his mouth with tape." Xiao Jiannan walked over and said coldly.

He stood up and smiled towards the sky.

"Please don't be nervous. Next, I will ask you to do something for me. I promise that after completing this matter, everyone can go home."
