It didn't take long for a few people to arrive at the Junhao Hotel. Sitting in front of the counter was the same aunt who loved to watch TV that day.
"Hey, comrade police, why are you here again? I have registered my ID card as required. Look." The aunt turned the large computer on the side and handed the check-in record form to the two of them.
Ma Xiaotao took it and looked at it, nodded, and then looked at her aunt and said, "Auntie, you can't open for business these days. You have to meet the business standards before you can open, otherwise there will be other troubles."
"This, this is not easy for me, I..." the aunt said with a sad face.
"Auntie, are you the only one in this store?" Qin Nan asked.
"No, this is driven by my son. They are cleaning the room upstairs now." The aunt said quickly.
"Okay, aunt, you can't receive customers for the time being, because your store does have many problems. The first is the issue of registration identity and business license..." Ma Xiaotao told her aunt for a long time,
After seeing Ma Xiaotao finish speaking, Qin Nan then asked: "Auntie, we came to you this time because of what happened a few days ago. Do you still remember that someone carried someone over a few days before the murder? That day
The man found in the room."
"The person found in the room? I really have no memory and have never seen it. I was probably watching TV at the time, so I just checked in casually.
In recent days, there have been a lot of people carrying people on their backs like that, because of the holidays...Don't tell me, it seems strange that there is really a person when you mention it like this, I remember..."
…
"Check in." said the man carrying the man on his back.
The aunt looked at the man on the man's back. It looked like there was a trace of blood on his head, so she asked: "How drunk are you? Don't vomit on the bed sheets, or you will lose money."
The man didn't say much, he just smiled and nodded, then pulled the hat on his head.
Then the man took the room card and hurriedly climbed up the stairs.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the aunt's son knocked on the door and found that the room was locked. It seemed that the guest had checked out, but strangely, the guest did not return the deposit or anything.
The aunt's son used the spare key to open the door. Almost nothing in the room had been moved, even the quilt was neatly drooped on the bed...
…
"This is what happened. Look at the surveillance..." the aunt said, pointing to the surveillance video on the computer.
In the entire hotel, only the cashier counter is monitored, and the rest of the corridors are not monitored. The aunt's son mainly does this to save costs.
"Does this hotel have a back door?" Qin Nan asked.
"There is a back door, but it is quite far. You can only go out by walking from the safety stairs at the corner of the corridor to the parking lot on the first floor." The aunt said.
Qin Nan pondered for a while, then asked: "Auntie, do you know where I can watch the surveillance in the parking lot downstairs?"
"Going down the corridor over there is the security office, where you can watch the surveillance of the parking lot." The aunt pointed to the end of the corridor and said.
After Qin Nan said hello to Ma Xiaotao, he walked down the corridor and arrived at the parking lot below.
At this time, there was an uncle in the security room who was heating the stove, listening to the radio and reading the newspaper.
"Hello, uncle, we are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau and want to know something from you." Ma Xiaotao said, showing his police officer ID.
Qin Nan and the others told the security uncle about what happened, and the uncle turned on the security room's surveillance camera to check.
Qin Nan adjusted the monitoring time to the time after Luo Zhi's death. After twelve o'clock, the man wearing a hoodie did appear in the parking lot.
And he left from the security room here. After checking, the man wearing a hoodie deliberately walked against the wall of the parking lot, seemingly to avoid surveillance. Not long after, the man left the parking lot.
The strange thing is that the man's car did not park inside, but left the parking lot directly.
"It seems that this person is relatively familiar with this place. If it weren't for the aunt in the hotel upstairs, it would be difficult for us to find out that this place is a parking lot." Qin Nan said with a frown.
"What should we do now? We don't know the appearance of the murderer at all." Ma Xiaotao looked at Qin Nan and said.
"Are you the police who investigated the case a few days ago? By the way, there are many surveillance cameras on the road outside the parking lot. You can go there and take a look. The surveillance over there is managed by the Nanshan Neighborhood Committee two streets behind. You can go
Then look for it."
The security uncle reminded.
After Qin Nan thanked them repeatedly, they immediately arrived at the Nanshan Neighborhood Committee. After Ma Xiaotao showed her police officer ID, they went to the monitoring room smoothly and turned on the monitoring of this area.
"Found it..." Ma Xiaotao pointed to the man wearing a black hooded in the surveillance video. He came to the alley next to the hotel building and then disappeared.
Qin Nan switched the surveillance camera to the other end and saw the man getting into a yellow taxi...
"No, he opened the driver's door." Ma Xiaotao said with a frown.
"Hurry up and find the owner of this car's license plate number." Qin Nan said while dialing Song Yi's number.
"Hey, Lao Song, we have a clue. We initially suspect that it's someone from the taxi company. The license plate number is Chongqing a***..." Qin Nan read while looking at the video on the surveillance camera.
"Okay, you guys come back quickly." Song Yi said.
Immediately, Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao quickly rushed to the Public Security Bureau and arrived at Song Yi's office. At this time, two police officers, one male and one female, were standing inside, seemingly reporting something.
"You came back just in time. We contacted the taxi company and found the person on duty for this taxi that day. The taxi driver's name is Zhu Qiang. He is 46 years old. He has a high school education and has 20 years of driving experience. He is an experienced driver.
,
He never appeared again on January 4th," Song Yi said.
"Does that taxi have a GPS installed on it? Or has it been discovered where he went after the incident?" Qin Nan asked.
"The taxi was indeed equipped with the company's GPS, and we had just returned from there. There were indeed blood stains on the front hood of the taxi, and it seemed that the car had been washed.
Later, we also found blood stains in the trunk, and we can initially determine that the murderer is Zhu Qiang." said the male policeman on the side.
"Have you found Zhu Qiang's home address?" Qin Nan asked.
"I found it, I just found it, and I'm still unlocking it..." said the policewoman on the side.
"Old Song, I think I have to go there." Qin Nan said.
Song Yi waved his hand, and Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao came to the community where Zhu Qiang was.
At this time, a cordon was surrounding a taxi, and several police officers were conducting further investigations into the taxi.
After Ma Xiaotao walked over and greeted the police officers, and after questioning, the two came to the door of Zhu Qiang's house. At this time, they heard a middle-aged woman's voice coming from inside the house.
Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao hurriedly walked in. At this time, a middle-aged woman was talking to a policewoman, her face was full of disbelief.
The woman's name is Zhang Xiaoli. She is 42 years old and works as an ordinary restaurant dishwasher. It was her turn to take a break today. As soon as she came home, she saw the police prying open the door of their house. After questioning,
Only then did they realize that they wanted to find out something from Zhu Qiang. Since they didn't get through Zhu Qiang's phone number with her, they thought they might be absconding out of fear of crime, so they forced the door open.
"Comrade police, what's wrong with my old Zhu? Don't scare me." Zhang Xiaoli said nervously.
"After our investigation, we found that your husband Zhu Qiang is related to a homicide case. It is not convenient for us to disclose the specific details of the case to you at the moment. Do you know where your husband has been these days?" asked the policewoman on the side.
.
"Where are he going...didn't he go to team-building with the company?" Zhang Xiaoli looked at the policewoman on the side in confusion.
"Team building? Don't you know where your husband is? Haven't you contacted him in the past few days?" the policewoman on the side asked.
