The waiter who recognized Yao Hong and Wang Zhiyong was responsible for the cleaning work on the second floor. She told Zhou Zhongping and others that the two people lived in Room 226 on the second floor. They had been staying in the hotel for some time and rarely went out.
When I went in for cleaning, they were basically in the room.
"What name did they use to register the hotel?" Zhou Zhongping asked the manager.
The manager quickly opened the computer on the desk to check the guest's accommodation information and found that the room was registered under the name Li Huaneng, and the name of the guest who was registered together was Li Xiaofeng.
"They must have used false identities to check into the hotel," Ma Yan said.
"Yes, then we will go to 226 to arrest people immediately." Song Qing said.
"Hey, wait a minute, Mr. Police Officer." Upon seeing this, the manager quickly reached out to stop him and said:
"You can't just break into the guest's room. If you make a mistake, our hotel will be left with nothing to eat, and maybe even my position will be lost."
"Manager, we are performing a task, please cooperate with our work." Zhou Zhongping said.
Beads of sweat appeared on the manager's forehead. He wiped it with the back of his hand and said:
"Officer, there is no problem in your cooperation, but at least we need to confirm whether the guest in 226 is the person you are looking for. You can't just break in and arrest someone based on the words of a cleaner."
"Yes, yes, maybe I made a mistake." The cleaning lady also hurriedly helped the manager to speak.
Zhou Zhongping and He Jing looked at each other. Although they always quarreled, they still had a tacit understanding. Seeing He Jing's slight nod, Zhou Zhongping said:
"Then let's call in surveillance to identify the suspect."
"Okay, okay, you can watch it from my computer, come on, come on." The manager quickly pushed the chair aside and let Zhou Zhongping and others come to the computer.
Song Qing skillfully operated the computer. Under the guidance of the hotel manager, she found the camera in the corridor on the second floor near room 226, and then browsed the video in fast forward. Ten minutes later, the sharp-eyed Ma Yan suddenly called out
With a sound, Song Qing quickly pressed the pause button.
Drag the video playback progress bar forward a little, and then adjust it to the normal playback speed. It is an evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the corridor window, making the entire corridor unusually bright. The door of room 226 is opened.
A tall man wearing a black T-shirt walked out first, and then a woman dressed up in a flashy dress also walked out. After they closed the door, facing the direction of the camera, the woman hugged the man's arm intimately.
Come.
Pause! Song Qing pressed the pause button in the clearest position. Zhou Zhongping took out the photos of Yao Hong and Wang Zhiyong and placed them next to the computer. Even the manager and the cleaner, who had no criminal investigation experience, exclaimed at the same time and nodded in approval.
The two people inside are the people Zhou Zhongping and the others are looking for.
The next step is how to carry out the arrest. There are four people on Zhou Zhongping's side, and only two on Wang Zhiyong and Yao Hong. If it were in the mainland, they would definitely mobilize the armed police to surround the hotel first and then start the arrest operation.
But now we are on a small island. According to the manager, the only police station on the island is 5 kilometers away from them, and the police force at the police station is also very limited.
Zhou Zhongping pulled He Jing aside and whispered:
"Ma Yan and I went in through the door, and you and Song Qing stayed under the window to prevent the suspect from escaping."
"That's alright. It's more appropriate for me to knock on the door. I'm a woman and won't arouse suspicion easily." Ma Yan disagreed with Zhou Zhongping's arrangement.
"The cleaning staff is responsible for knocking on the door, so you are not needed. When the suspect discovers that someone has broken in, his first reaction will definitely be to jump out of the window, so your task over there is more important."
He Jing glanced at Zhou Zhongping suspiciously and reluctantly nodded and agreed to the arrangement. Although the two of them often had differences of opinion on small matters, they never sloppily dealt with major matters.
After everything was arranged, Zhou Zhongping, Ma Yan and the cleaning staff pushed the cleaning cart to the door of Room 226.
The cleaning lady stood alone in front of the door, while Zhou Zhongping and Ma Yan hid on both sides of the door. The cleaning lady pressed her chest and stabilized her emotions, then knocked on the door three times and said:
"Hello, room cleaning."
There was no response from the room.
The cleaning lady knocked on the door three times again and asked:
"Hello, room cleaning."
There was still no response from the room.
The waiter knocked on the door for the third time and said:
"Hello, room cleaning."
There is still no response in the room. According to the requirements of the hotel industry, if the waiter knocks on the door three times in a row and no one responds, the universal key card can be used to open the door.
The cleaning lady looked at Zhou Zhongping who was standing aside. After getting Zhou Zhongping's approval, she used her universal room card to swipe on the door lock, and the sound of mechanical rotation came from the door. The cleaning lady said again: "I
He came in and turned the door handle.
The door was opened a crack, and the anti-theft chain in the room was hung on the door, making it impossible to open the door further. Ma Yan blocked the cleaning staff behind her and moved her body close to the door crack, and a strange smell was introduced into her nasal cavity.
She frowned, pointed inside, and then pointed to her nose. After Zhou Zhongping understood it, he stretched his head over and smelled it. He was shocked, the smell of blood!
No! I'm afraid an accident has happened. Zhou Zhongping didn't have time to think. He pulled Ma Yan and the cleaner away, took two steps back, and then raised his foot to reach the door. The door opened in response, and a wave of more
The strong smell of blood hit my face.
There was a huge bed in the center of the room. Lying on the bed was a pale-faced woman. She was covered with a quilt. Blood had dripped to the ground along the edge of the bed and had just condensed on the floor. The room was in a mess, and the wardrobe was in a mess.
The door was open, the men's and women's clothes were thrown on the floor, the air conditioner was blowing cold air, and a bath towel was thrown at the end of the bed.
The curtains facing the sea were tightly closed, and were blown up by the sea breeze from time to time, allowing the dazzling light from the outside to shine into the room. Between the big bed and the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a large amount of blood spattered from the bed. Zhou Zhongping avoided the blood stains and walked away.
He went to the window and opened the curtains, and saw that a glass window was open. He put his head out and waved to He Jing and Song Qing who were ambushing outside.
Zhou Zhongping walked to the bedside, checked the woman's breathing, and touched her carotid artery to confirm that she was dead. The temperature of the body had dropped slightly, but it had not yet reached the point of being cold.
The quilt covering the woman was lifted, and she was lying on her back, wearing a white suspender skirt pajamas. There was a fatal wound on her chest. The wound was very deep, and it penetrated the gap between the ribs and penetrated into the heart. There was no one at the scene.
The murder weapon was found. There were blood stains left by wiping the murder weapon on a corner of the quilt.
After comparing the photos, it was found that the deceased in the room was Wang Zhiyong's lover Yao Hong.
