Volume Four: From Afar Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Six: The Old House
There are two traces on the window sill, less than half a meter apart. Coupled with the fibers of the hemp rope, experienced people will naturally think of a ladder.
The murderer came from 3012 to 2912 via a ladder!
As long as the police investigate Room 3012, they will definitely find this problem. Everything is as Ye Chen guessed before entering the room, and there are indeed important clues here.
The group went to the monitoring room to retrieve the monitoring data of guest 3012 on the day they checked in.
This guest was wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses, and the brim of the hat perfectly blocked every surveillance camera. We could only confirm that he had a beard, and no other features could be seen.
In addition, there is another important piece of information. This guest brought a large trolley suitcase that day, which can fully accommodate Delina.
Obviously, this person can be the murderer who framed Sun Yu.
Jerry looked at Miranda who had been following them, "Have you seen what this person looks like?"
Miranda is responsible for the service work on the 29th and 30th floors. Every guest is led by her. The surveillance shows that this guest was also led by Miranda on the day of check-in.
Miranda nodded with difficulty, "I only saw him from the side. I will definitely recognize him if we meet again."
Jerry asked Sun Yu, "Should I ask some portrait masters to help draw a portrait of the murderer, and then make the whole city wanted?"
Sun Yu nodded, and Jerry immediately took out his cell phone to make a call.
"Let's go! It's time to find out the real ogre." Sun Yu looked away from the surveillance camera.
"Why don't you go to the 31st floor and have a look?" Ye Chen asked.
Sun Yu sneered, "What's the point of going there? There won't be any clues in that room. Besides, Hu Xiao has left a way out for me, so I don't need to be so serious, right?"
"You are open-minded!" Ye Chen replied and followed Sun Yu out of the monitoring room.
Hu Xiao's trick is very simple. The murderer of 3012 was deliberately arranged by Hu Xiao. The trolley case that can fit Delina and the traces of hemp rope on the window sill can be used as important evidence.
At least enough for the police to arrest someone.
Starting from the 31st floor is the unmonitored presidential suite, where the real murderer entered.
Floors 29 to 31 are all booked by Hu Xiao. Floor 2912 is the murder scene, floor 3012 is the murderer sent by Hu Xiao, and the presidential suite on the 31st floor is where the real murderer Claire is.
With the capabilities of Hu Xiao's criminal organization, it was impossible to leave such important clues. It was obviously to protect Claire.
At the same time, he was also protecting Sun Yu.
If Sun Yu really can't catch the real ogre, this person can become evidence for Sun Yu's comeback.
This was designed by Hu Xiao, and this person was also in Hu Xiao's hands. Naturally, Sun Yu couldn't count on this. When it came time to beg Hu Xiao, the price would be unpredictable.
As for asking Jerry to find someone to help with the portrait, Sun Yu's idea was very simple, just to attract some firepower.
Ordinary citizens are easily fooled, but detectives and those spying on bounties are not fools.
After a little investigation, you can find out that Sun Yu came to the United States just a few days ago. He is not an ogre at all. They will think that Sun Yu was framed by an ogre.
Those people didn't know about Hu Xiao's existence and would only think that Sun Yu had some connection with the ogre.
Sun Yu did not see this portrait by himself. He wanted those who were spying on him in secret to notice this portrait. They would definitely think that the person in the portrait was an ogre.
That's right! This is the real purpose of Sun Yu coming here to investigate the case. His goal is not to find Claire's criminal evidence.
He wanted to use these people's greed for bounties to help them find Hu Xiao's accomplices.
Arriving at Jerry's car, Jerry asked: "Where are we going now?"
"Is the death scene of Claire's daughter Julia still preserved?" Sun Yu asked.
"The crime scene was in an uninhabited house." Jerry looked at Sun Yu with a troubled face. "It's been almost a month. Many people have been there. I don't think it's worth much."
Sun Yu sighed. Just as he thought, the police here were extremely poor at protecting the crime scene.
Since the case has not been solved, shouldn't the scene of the crime be sealed off? Leaving aside other places, Poway City has recent cases, so can't they protect the scene?
Judging from what Jerry said, the detective who went there to check the scene might have trampled the floor to pieces.
"Hey -" Ye Chen, who was sitting in the back row, stretched, "It seems that I can only go to Jerry's house to see the information he collected."
Jerry smiled innocently, stepped on the accelerator, and the Maybach accelerated away from the following vehicles and turned into a dark alley.
······
The car stopped on the side of a dilapidated street. Jerry winked at the two of them and got out of the car.
After getting off the car, Jerry led the two of them towards the nearest house, which had no light.
Arriving at the door, Jerry took out a key and opened the door, "This is the house I bought during my entrepreneurial days. No one except a few veterans of the law firm knows about it."
After leading Sun Yu and Ye Chen into the house, Jerry turned on the light in the entrance hall and added, "Xiaoyu doesn't know either, so I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
After walking out of the entrance hall, Jerry turned on the light in the living room. As the light illuminated the entire living room, Sun Yu and Ye Chen showed amazing expressions on their faces.
There was not much furniture in the living room, just a recliner and a small coffee table next to the recliner. The wall facing the recliner was covered with dense photos, occupying the entire five-meter-high wall.
Jerry looked at the photos on the wall and smiled: "Xiaoyu said you have a memory palace that is envied by countless people. I don't have one, but I have a house that can remember cases. On the wall are all the Ogre's cases over the years.
information!"
If you look carefully, there is a text description next to each photo, including the time and place of the crime, and the part of the deceased that was cut off by the ogre.
The distribution of the photos also seemed to be regular. Jerry separated the photos with irregular curves. Sun Yu vaguely felt that this was more like a map.
"Are the photos placed according to the location where they were found?" Sun Yu asked.
Jerry nodded and pointed to the door not far away, "That's the archives room. There are copies of the autopsy reports and investigation records of each deceased person."
After that, Jerry walked towards the other door, "You guys watch first, I'll make you some coffee."
Sun Yu and Ye Chen took a few steps forward and stood in a comfortable position so that they could view all the information on the wall.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Ye Chen sighed with emotion, "It seems that he really loves Jiang Xiaoyu."
This was a sentence that had nothing to do with the current environment, but Sun Yu nodded empathetically.
From this wall alone, it can be seen that Jerry has conducted the most detailed investigation into the ogre case. Jiang Xiaoyu said that Jerry likes to solve cases. Obviously, the ogre case has become Jerry's obsession.
Even so, Jerry didn't force Sun Yu to help solve the ogre case. The only reason was that he didn't want Sun Yu to fall into the whirlpool and Jiang Xiaoyu to worry.
