Lin Xi stood in front of the hotel door. He raised his head and looked upstairs, then opened the door and walked in.
The woman at the front desk of the hotel had just woken up. Her hair hadn't had time to take care of. It wasn't very messy but was a little fluffy.
The woman thought that another customer was coming to stay at the hotel. She was about to say hello, but she immediately saw the police officer ID card that Lin Xi took out.
Panic, uneasiness, regret, all kinds of complex emotions were mixed together and revealed from her eyes.
Before Lin Xi could ask the question, the woman immediately thought of the scene of her phone call with Lu Sheng last night. For her, this was really scary.
"Hello, I want to ask you something."
The woman nodded quietly, still praying in her heart. Maybe she was thinking too much, or maybe the police were asking about other things.
"Recently, has a person named Lu Sheng come to stay at your place?"
The last hope was shattered, and a slight sound came from the woman's mouth, "There is..."
The woman blinked rapidly, but her hands were clenching hard unconsciously, and her nails seemed to be about to dig into her palms.
Lin Xi soon noticed the woman's unnaturalness. He stared into the woman's eyes, and the light he projected became more majestic.
"With so many people coming and going, you don't have to search for them. Do you still remember them?"
"Well..." The woman was about to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Xi's words.
"Why do you remember so clearly?"
"Because... because..." The woman was very scared and stuttered nervously. She was worried that she would really get into trouble, and her head was slightly lowered.
"Because, because he asked me to delete his check-in record and... he also gave me five hundred yuan."
"What? Delete the check-in record?" Lin Xi successfully concealed his surprise and just repeated the woman's words. Then he asked, "Is it from yesterday?"
"No, it's not from yesterday."
"Then do you still remember the specific date of the deleted check-in record?"
"I can't remember exactly what day it was. I only know it was three years ago."
Hearing the woman's words, a strange emotion flashed across Lin Xi's face. It couldn't be said to be excitement, nor could it be said to be happy. It felt like he already knew the answer, and after so many years, someone finally told you.
is correct.
"Oh, um, can the deleted data be recovered?"
The woman felt a little guilty, lowered her head even lower, and whispered, "I can't do it anymore."
The woman lowered her head and did not see the terrifying look Lin Xi stared at her, "Which room did he stay in last night?"
"Four zero four."
Lin Xi held out his hand to the woman, and the woman looked at Lin Xi with some confusion and fear.
"Give me the room card."
"ah?"
Lin Xi controlled his emotions, but his impatience could still be heard, "Give me the room card of 404."
The woman hurriedly took out the room card and handed it over. Lin Xi took the room card and walked straight upstairs.
Just when Lin Xi was about to enter the stairwell, the frightened woman finally plucked up the courage to ask the question she was worried about.
"Comrade police, will something happen to me?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, but he did not look back, nor did he pay attention to the woman's words, but continued to walk upstairs. She was just a receptionist, so how could Lin Xi care about her mood.
In Lu Sheng's room, Lin Xi didn't find any useful clues. He walked downstairs to the front desk, pulled out a hotel reservation card on the table, wrote something on it, then handed it to the woman and said to her
, "As soon as you see him coming back, contact me immediately."
The woman took the card with both hands and nodded quietly.
………
"It seems that I can't go back to this hotel."
Lu Sheng hid in the stairwell, thinking about this sentence all the time.
He watched Lin Xi walk towards the Meijia Hotel, and then watched him walk out.
"That woman will definitely tell Lin Xi what happened last night. Alas...this was originally a clue I prepared for Kong Weifeng. Will Lin Xi discover anything through this clue?"
Lu Sheng had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that Lin Xi would suddenly come out. He also didn't know that Lin Xi had already doubted Bai Longqiang's death.
"I can't wait any longer and want to continue with my plan. I hope Kong Weifeng's speed can be faster."
………
Throughout the morning, Kong Weifeng sat in his chair in a daze. But there was no rest in his mind.
"Bai Longqiang stole Zhao Shi's car and killed someone. Lu Sheng also said that this case was a judicial tragedy?"
He has been thinking about this, but has never made a breakthrough.
At this time, the chief of Huangzhou Police Station was standing not far away. When he saw Kong Weifeng in a daze, he shouted to him, "Weifeng, come here."
There was no one in the director's office all night, but the smoke seemed to have penetrated every inch of the walls, floor, and roof. As people came in, the smell of smoke spread out from all directions.
"The verdict on the vicious traffic accident case on Heping Street is about to be announced, and I suddenly remembered Lu Sheng you mentioned before. How is it? What's the progress of your investigation?"
Kong Weifeng recounted what happened at the Fat Master's house to the director again.
The director listened attentively to Kong Weifeng's words, and he also realized the problem here, "Listen to what you said, the man passing by the door of the clothing factory is very suspicious."
"Yes, and it is very likely that it was carefully planned by that person. Now this is the only clue."
The director handed Kong Weifeng a cigarette and continued to ask, "Can Zhao Shi's family still be found?"
"Only an old mother is left. She is now in the city mental hospital. She was so shocked when she heard that Zhao Shi was burned to death."
"When Bai Longqiang stole Zhao Shi's car, was it an accidental incident, or was he deliberately trying to steal his car? Are there any intersections in the lives of these two people?"
"One is a bad gambler, and the other is a rich second generation. There is no overlap."
The director thought for a while and said to Kong Weifeng, "I think it is necessary to dig deeper into Bai Longqiang. We may find something from him." The director blew out a round smoke ring from his mouth, and the flowers on the windowsill,
Bad luck again.
"If you are short of manpower, ask people in your team to help."
Hearing what the director said, Kong Weifeng looked at him excitedly, "Are you going to reopen the case from that year?"
The director took another puff of cigarette and said to Kong Weifeng seriously and seriously:
"The evidence we have now is not enough to overturn the conclusion of the year. However, you and I both know now that there must be something not simple behind this matter. You just need to investigate. As long as it is in Huangzhou, it doesn't matter whether it is restarted or not. We only want the truth.
, as long as there is a bad person behind it, we must find him out."
