Returning to the lobby on the first floor, the two of them found a seat and sat down across from each other. Zhang Liwei brought them two glasses of soda and a fruit plate, and then sat down not far away to wait.
It's not the season to eat apricots, but there are a bunch of sapphire-like apricots on the fruit plate. Han Feilu picked one up and put it in his mouth. His gums were so sore that he almost fell down. He swallowed it without changing his expression and took out a tissue.
Wiping hands: "You've finished asking. If you have any profound insights, tell me as soon as possible."
There were some cherry tomatoes in the fruit plate that were as big as cherries. Zhou Song picked one up and threw it into a cup filled with soda water. He watched the cherry tomatoes sink quickly to the bottom, with many dense bubbles rising on the surface: "Pan Shaojie
Are you asking Zhang Liwei to take the key to his room just to drink on the balcony to spice things up?"
Han Feilu: "It's normal to drink on the balcony. It's normal to want to have some fun. But it's abnormal for these two things to happen to Pan Shaojie at the same time."
Zhou Song threw cherry tomatoes into the cup one by one, seeming to find some fun in it, and said with a smile: "Is there such a possibility? At noon on May 20th, the day before Pan Shaojie's incident. Pan Shaojie
The tryst with Zhang Liwei in room 8012 was actually a drunkard's intention not to drink, but to get Zhang Liwei's key card and key. Between 3:30 and 4 o'clock, Zhang Liwei fell asleep, even if Pan Shaojie secretly took her key card
It would be difficult for her to find out if she did something with the key and then put it back."
Han Feilu looked at the soda cup in front of him. Four or five cherry tomatoes had already sunk into the cup, but Zhou Song kept throwing them in. "What did Pan Shaojie do?"
Zhou Song thought silently for a moment and then asked him: "Do you still remember what I told you, at the Heaven and Earth Nightclub on the night of the 14th, I heard Pan Shaojie talking to a man in the bathroom?"
Han Feilu: "Remember, that person is not Feng Danian?"
Zhou Song shook his head: "It's not like that. Although I have no deep impression of that person's voice, if I hear his voice again, I will definitely recognize it. I am sure that person is not Feng Danian."
Han Feilu seemed to understand: "Since it's not Feng Danian, then it's the fourth person?"
Zhou Song raised his eyes and looked at him: "Who are the first three people?"
Han Feilu: "Pan Shaojie, Liao Yuntao, and Feng Danian. These three sleeping dragons and phoenixes planned the 'sacrifice of the girl' incident. Since you think that the person who made suggestions to Pan Shaojie in the bathroom was not Feng Danian, then you can only do it except for the three of them."
The fourth person." As he spoke, he grabbed a few more sour apricots and stuffed them into his mouth one by one, "There is a fourth person who has not surfaced yet."
Zhou Song: "On the day of Pan Shaojie's incident, was there also a fourth person involved?"
Han Feilu glanced at him and said, "Don't beat around the bush, just say it directly."
Zhou Song smiled and said: "You and I already know that the process on the day of the incident was that Li Wenjie sneaked into Pan Shaojie's room, Pan Shaojie died, and Li Wenjie escaped with Li Ran. Based on this line of action, the person who killed Pan Shaojie can only be
Li Wenjie, but the purpose of Pan Shaojie calling Zhang Liwei to the room the day before was probably to get Zhang Liwei's key card and key. Assuming that Pan Shaojie's purpose was indeed the key and key card, then the possibility of the existence of the fourth person is very high.
"
Han Feilu suddenly realized: "At noon on the 20th, between 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., the surveillance system in the corridor on the 8th floor was turned off."
Zhou Song: "Yes, the monitoring of the corridor on the 8th floor is turned off. If Pan Shaojie leaves the room during this period, he uses the key card to open the door of room 8011, and after entering the room, he uses the key to open the floor-to-ceiling window. In this way, room 8012 is not a secret room.
It is a large suite that can be visited from left to right. Anyone can go from room 8011 to room 8012 along the balcony, or from room 8012 to room 8011."
Han Feilu: "What reason did Pan Shaojie have to secretly open the window of Room 8011? What did he want to do?"
Zhou Song held a cherry tomato and hung it above the mouth of the tall cup. He let go and the cherry tomato fell into the cup, and a circle of water gradually appeared: "Kill."
Han Feilu ate a lot of sour green apricots, and his tongue was almost numb. He took a sip of soda water, and the carbonic acid irritated his tongue, like a steel needle pricking him. He frowned and asked, "Who does he want to kill?"
Zhou Song: "Maybe it's Li Wenjie, maybe it's not."
Han Feilu: "Tell me about his killing methods."
Zhou Song: "While Zhang Liwei was asleep, he took her key card to open room 8011, slipped in and opened the floor-to-ceiling window, and then sent a message to the mysterious fourth person, asking him to go upstairs along the stairs and hide him in his room.
Room. The next day, before Li Wenjie checked in, the mysterious man sneaked into room 8011 from the balcony, killed Li Wenjie, and then pretended to be Li Wenjie and left the hotel. It can be said that it was seamless."
Han Feilu: "It's perfect? Li Wenjie died in the room. It's only a matter of time before the body is found. When the hotel staff call the police, we will know what happened as soon as we check the surveillance."
Zhou Song raised the corner of his mouth and his eyes were full of interest: "What if the murderer didn't leave a body?"
Han Feilu held his hand hard, his palms were wet and cold: "Take the body decomposed and taken away?"
Zhou Song propped up his chin and looked up, as if immersed in reverie: "If I were the murderer, I would bring a tarp, a hand saw, and a suitcase. I would break Li Wenjie's body into pieces and put them in
The suitcase was taken away. In this way, the police would most likely be confused and unable to guess that Li Wenjie had been dismembered in the hotel, and the person who pretended to be him when he left the hotel was the murderer. As long as I was careful enough, I
This will allow the police to never find Li Wenjie’s body.”
Han Feilu didn't like him to use his own metaphors, and he didn't like it even more that he talked about killing people and dismembering bodies as easily and casually as discussing the weather. He saw the faint shadow in Zhou Song's eyes again, which was a reflection of all the evil in the world.
All of them tolerate the indifference and cruelty of Xiao Na.
Han Feilu: "...but Li Wenjie didn't die, it was Pan Shaojie who died. How do you explain that?"
Zhou Song said: "Pan Shaojie's plan has changed."
Han Feilu: "What happened?"
Zhou Song: "The fourth person is an accident. He is hiding in the dark. No one knows that he has come to the hotel. He can kill whoever he wants. You only saw Li Wenjie coming out of Pan Shaojie's room from the surveillance camera, so you suspected that Li Wenjie was
Murderer, this is true. But there is another possibility. Are apricots sweet? Give me one."
Han Feilu had been eating those green apricots with great gusto. Zhou Song was curious about the taste of apricots that were out of season and couldn't help but reach out to him for some.
Han Feilu picked a big one and put it in his hand. As soon as he put it in his mouth, his face immediately wrinkled: "How do you swallow it when it's so sour? Don't you have any sense of taste?"
Han Feilu smiled, took out a few tissues and handed them to him: "I didn't say they were sweet, just spit them out."
It was too indecent to spit it out, so Zhou Song forced it to swallow, then picked up the cup filled with cherry tomatoes and drank a lot of water.
Han Feilu grabbed another handful of sour green apricots: "You just said there is another possibility, which one?"
Zhou Song slowly put down the cup and then said: "When Li Wenjie left Pan Shaojie's room, was it possible that Pan Shaojie was still alive? The murderer should have sneaked into Li Wenjie's room from the balcony to kill Li Wenjie, but he stayed in Pan Shaojie's room, waiting for Li Wenjie
After leaving, he killed Pan Shaojie and blamed Li Wenjie."
Han Feilu: "Then how did he leave the scene?"
Zhou Song: "To kill Pan Shaojie, he entered Room 8011 from the balcony, which was Li Wenjie's room. At that time, Li Wenjie had already checked out. He only needed to wait until the cleaning staff went to clean up, and then he could leave through the front door. After leaving the room, he went down the stairs.
There is no surveillance in the building or stairwell, so he only needs to avoid the surveillance in the parking lot to escape."
Han Feilu: "Leave through the front door of the room? The surveillance was on all day long that day, so he didn't worry about being photographed by the surveillance?"
Zhou Songdao: "I just saw that there is only one camera in the corridor on the 8th floor. Room 8011 is behind the camera. Due to the angle restriction, the camera can only capture the upper body of the person entering and leaving room 8011. He only needs to squat down or lie down.
Avoid corridor surveillance."
Hearing this, Han Feilu had nothing to say, so he picked up the cup and said, "Here."
Zhou Song didn't know why: "What's coming?"
Han Feilu was a little speechless: "Here's a toast to you."
Zhou Song also picked up the cup and clinked it with him. Watching him pick up the bottom of the cup and drink up the remaining half cup of soda water. He pursed his lips and said, "The above are all my guesses. I don't care about the accuracy."
Responsible."
Han Feilu put down his cup and waved to him: "Okay, let's go back."
Zhang Liwei sent them outside the gate. Before leaving, Han Feilu stared at her right hand again and asked, "What's wrong with your nails?"
Zhang Liwei looked at her hands: "What?"
Han Feilu has sharp eyes and careful eyes. When he came here just now, he saw that she had done manicure on all her hands. After a while, the manicure on her right index finger and thumb disappeared. "Didn't you do your manicure? Why is your right hand bald?"
Zhang Liwei said: "Oh, what I did was not manicure, but wearing nails, which are easy to remove. I felt it was inconvenient to do the work, so I took off a few."
Han Feilu had done manicure with his previous girlfriend, but this was the first time he heard about wearing manicure: "What's the difference between wearing manicure and manicure?"
Zhang Liwei: "No, doing manicure is quite troublesome. It takes less than an hour or two to do it. It only takes a minute or two to put on the manicure."
She put the removed armor in her pocket and took it out to show Han Feilu. Han Feilu asked her for one. On the way back, he kept thinking about that piece of armor with a thoughtful look on his face.
Zhou Song didn't know that he had been possessed by an armored creature. He was lying in the passenger seat, swiping his phone and asking: "How to find that mysterious man?"
Han Feilu said: "Look for Feng Danian. Since they are in the same group, this grandson must know who the fourth person is."
Zhou Song glanced at him secretly. He spoke in a low and sharp tone, as if he was going to kill someone. He had known Han Feilu for a long time, and this was the first time he heard Han Feilu express his anger in his words. It can be seen that
How angry Han Feilu was at Feng Danian's concealment.
It was already evening when we returned to the city. The sun dropped to the waistline of the high-rise buildings. The sunlight was dark orange and light red, and the slanting light made people blind. Han Feilu pulled the car to the side of the road and stopped, and Zhou Song got out of the car.
Car. In order to block the dazzling light of the setting sun, Han Feilu put on his sunglasses again, put his arm on the car window and bared his teeth at Zhou Song: "Do you still need me to say some polite words to you?"
Zhou Song glanced at him and said, "Save it." After saying that, he waved his hand and walked along the sidewalk.
Han Feilu raised the window and drove into the cascading traffic with the intention of returning to his work. The car stopped and stopped when his cell phone rang. He put on his Bluetooth headset and answered the call: "Hello?"
Mu Xuecheng said: "Boss, I finally found the photo of the cleaning aunt."
Han Feilu: "The one with her and the suitcase?"
Mu Xuecheng: "Well, even if I'm bald, I can't think of why you insist on finding a suitcase."
Han Feilu: "Stop talking nonsense and send me the photos."
He hung up the phone and waited for less than a few seconds when he received a photo on WeChat. He happened to be at an intersection ahead of him. He stopped the car and picked up his phone to take a closer look. In the photo, the cleaning lady was standing with a suitcase.
A photo was taken in front of the travel agency when he was preparing to leave. The whole picture of the suitcase was very clear. It was a dark red suitcase with a silver handle. There was nothing special about it. It belonged to street stalls that could be seen everywhere. However, he found that the suitcase
The handle on the side of the box is sewn with a circle of red-bottomed flowered cloth.
Seeing the circle of red cloth, Han Feilu perked up. He immediately enlarged the picture and looked at the details of the handle carefully. His eyes lit up with a faint fire. He quickly dialed Mu Xuecheng's number and asked
: "Where is Li Ran?"
Mu Xuecheng: "We'll let her go at noon today. It's time for her to be detained."
Han Feilu: "Find her quickly!"
The car moved, and Han Feilu dropped his cell phone, accelerated through the intersection, and drove towards Li Ran's house.
A few days ago, he and Gu Hai went to see Li Ran for the first time. They saw a red suitcase in Li Ran's bedroom closet. Because there was a red strip of cloth sewn on the left handle of the suitcase, he had more
I took a second look and left an impression. The suitcase I saw lost by the cleaning staff just now was exactly the same as the suitcase that Li Ran had hidden in the closet!
He parked the car under the unit building and ran up to the second floor. The door of Room 201 was closed tightly. When he was knocking on the door, an aunt holding a child came up the stairs. Han Feilu recognized her at a glance. Last time he
She and Gu Hai came to see Li Ran. Li Ran was chatting with her downstairs and teasing the baby in her arms. She seemed to be very familiar with Li Ran.
When the aunt saw Han Feilu, she asked warily: "Who are you looking for?"
Han Feilu showed his ID, pointed to Room 201, and asked, "I'm looking for a woman who lives here. Her name is Li Ran. Do you know her?"
The aunt said: "Xiao Li, of course I know her, I live across from her." She walked to the door of room 202 and looked for the key in her pocket.
Han Feilu asked again: "Has she come back today?"
The aunt said: "No, she hasn't been home for several days. Please give her a call." After saying that, she opened the door and entered the house.
Han Feilu looked at the lock on the door. It was an old-fashioned padlock. He grabbed the head of the lock and pulled it down hard. He pulled it twice and the lock opened. He pushed the door and walked in. He went straight into Li Ran's bedroom and pushed the lock.
Opening the closet door, he found that the place where a red suitcase was standing was empty. He searched the closet and under the bed, but found nothing. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the garbage room inside the community behind the bedroom window. There was no separate garbage room in the community.
The residents have to lift the garbage to the garbage room, and then the garbage trucks pull it out of the community. On the left side of the garbage room are some wood waste materials used for decoration, and under the waste pile is the red suitcase!
Han Feilu ran out and picked up the suitcase. The suitcase was very light and water seeped from the bottom when he lifted it up. He took the suitcase back to Li Ran's house and placed it on the living room floor. He opened the suitcase and found that there was a charred object inside.
, like a charred and solidified substance after clothing was burned. He tore the solid mass open with force, and found a palm-sized piece of cloth inside the wrinkled interior. The pattern on the cloth was familiar to him. It was the Li Ke he had been looking for.
Lost school uniform pattern.
Seeing this piece of fabric, Han Feilu's eyes flashed. He did not expect that the school uniform that Feng Danian said was thrown away and that Li Ran said was worn by Cai Minmin would actually appear in this suitcase. This school uniform was indeed in Li Ke's possession.
When leaving the room on the fourth floor of the nightclub, Li Ke took it off, but it was not put on by Cai Minmin, nor was it thrown away by Feng Danian. Instead, it was put on another person, wandering around, and returned to Li Ran's house. So the school uniform
Who is it wearing, and where is he at this time?
The answer lies in the box. Han Feilu found a hair from the box. It was a long black hair. It was about 20 centimeters straight when stretched out. It was obviously a woman's hair. The owner of this hair was probably
The person who put on the school uniform instead of Li Ke that night.
He took out a tissue from the coffee table, carefully wrapped his hair and put it in his pocket, then took out his cell phone and dialed Gu Hai's number. While waiting for the call to be connected, he slowly walked to the balcony and was suddenly hit by the freezer on the balcony.
It attracted attention. He had seen this freezer last time he came here. At that time, the freezer made a noise like a boiling pot. Now there is no noise at all. It's not that Li Ran spent money to repair it, but he unplugged it.
, the freezer is no longer working.
Gu Hai: "Captain Han, I'll go to the school to find Li Ke——"
Before Gu Hai finished speaking, Han Feilu hung up the phone and put his hands on the freezer door. It seemed that he could still feel the vibration of the freezer that day. He took a deep breath and suddenly opened the freezer door. It was empty except for half of the freezer door.
I don’t know what year and month the frozen duck was, but because the freezer was out of power, the duck meat was thawed on the surface, and bright red blood oozed out from under the tawny skin...
He never thought about what was hidden in the freezer, but he was sure there was something hidden.
Closing the freezer door, Han Feilu looked out the window and saw the grassland with the clothesline again. He saw Li Ran for the first time. Li Ran, with wet hair and a skirt, was teasing the neighbor's baby.
.....
He walked out, stood in front of the door of Room 202 opposite, and knocked hard.
The aunt just now opened the door: "Young man, what else do you want?"
Han Feilu: "Has Li Ran been to your house these days?"
Aunt: "Xiao Li? She comes here often. I live alone and have to take care of my children. She often comes here to help me."
Han Feilu: "When was the last time she came?"
Aunt: "Four or five days ago, I went out to buy groceries and asked her to look after the kids for me."
Four or five days ago, it was also four or five days ago that he and Gu Hai came to see Li Ran for the first time.
Han Feilu: "Can I go in?"
The aunt let him into the house, he walked to the living room, looked around, and sure enough he found a freezer on the balcony. He slowly walked towards the freezer and asked, "Do you live alone?"
Aunt: "Yes, my wife left early, and my daughter went abroad after giving birth to the child. What are you doing?"
She, Han Feilu, wanted to open the freezer and hurried over to stop her.
Han Feilu said solemnly: "Li Ran is now a suspect in a murder case. I suspect that she hid something in your home without your knowledge, hiding it in this freezer. Please cooperate with me in investigating the case."
.”
The aunt was stunned and refused to stop him.
Han Feilu opened the cabinet door and found some frozen meat and frozen dumplings inside. The meat was divided into small bags for easy access. He asked the aunt to avoid it, and then took out the meat bags one by one.
Every time I take out a bag, I carefully identify what kind of meat it is.
Soon, the freezer reached the bottom and no other suspicious items were found. Before Han Feilu had time to suspect that his judgment was wrong, he saw a gap at the bottom of the freezer. When he reached out to touch it, he discovered that there was a layer of white metal weighing at the bottom of the freezer.
If an elderly person sees the baffle, he will definitely think that this metal plate is the bottom of the freezer. In fact, it is not the bottom.
When he pulled out the metal plate to reveal the real bottom of the cabinet, the cold air hit him, making him tremble.
There was about ten centimeters of crushed ice on the bottom of the cabinet, and black plastic bags were placed crowdedly between the ice cubes. He pushed aside the ice cubes and tore open a plastic bag with his hands, revealing a
A pale, stiff, frost-covered face - he recognized this face, she was Cai Minmin's daughter Cai Wen. It was said that Cai Wen had returned to her hometown long ago, but at this time her body was lying separated in a stranger's freezer, dead.
For a long time.
Only then did Han Feilu realize that Li Ran was lying and Feng Danian was lying. They had been lying all along.
