He Jing ran to the second floor panting. She was also shocked by the scene in front of her. Yao Hong was killed and Wang Zhiyong disappeared. He Jing, who was full of confidence just now, suddenly became a little confused. She grabbed Zhou Zhongping and asked:
"In the end what happened?"
Zhou Zhongping shook his head and replied:
"I don't know, this is how we came in."
He Jing checked the blood on the ground, then checked the body and said:
"The blood has just started to coagulate and the body temperature has just dropped a little. This means that the time when Yao Hong was killed was less than an hour ago."
"Yes, I'm wondering what went wrong. Did Wang Zhiyong get the news that we were coming to arrest him in advance, killed Yao Hong and then absconded? Or there was a conflict between the two of them, and Wang Zhiyong killed Yao Hong and then absconded.
Zhou Zhongping said with a frown.
"It's impossible. Our visit to Haizhou is strictly confidential. No one knows except the people in the task force," He Jing said.
"Then why did Wang Zhiyong kill someone and abscond just after we arrived at the hotel?"
"Yes, this is really strange." Ma Yan said.
"Maybe someone really tipped him off," Song Qing said.
"No, if someone had tipped off the information, he should have escaped long ago. He wouldn't have to wait until we came to the hotel to kill people and escape." He Jing objected.
"Well, that makes sense." Zhou Zhongping said while looking down at the things in the room. At this time, the bath towel thrown at the end of the bed caught his attention. There were some wet stains on the bath towel, which was obviously
Used it not long ago.
"Did someone just take a bath?" Zhou Zhongping thought as he walked to the bathroom and saw two bath towels neatly placed on the bathroom shelf.
"Call the cleaning lady over," Zhou Zhongping said.
The cleaning lady was so scared that she hid aside. When she was called, she only stood at the door of the room and refused to step into the room. Zhou Zhongping had no choice but to pick up the bath towel at the end of the bed and walked to the door and asked:
"How many bath towels do you usually provide in your room?"
"Two." The cleaning lady replied timidly.
"Then why are there three identical bath towels in this room?"
"Ah, I don't know, how come there are three of them?" The cleaning lady's brain was no longer full at this time.
"Ah! That's possible." At this time, the manager standing behind the cleaning lady said:
"After swimming, some guests will bring back a bath towel from the shower room at the beach. This towel may have been brought back from the beach."
Hearing what the manager said, Zhou Zhongping and He Jing exhaled softly at the same time, and they looked at each other in unison. They both remembered that when they first came in, several people wearing bath towels and sunglasses came back. At that time, they
His attention was focused on the old man who made the suggestion, and he did not notice anyone else. Wang Zhiyong must have been among the group of people and heard the conversation between Zhou Zhongping and the waiter.
"Xiao Song Mayan, check the video." Zhou Zhongping arranged decisively.
"Yes!" the two agreed and ran away.
He Jing heard Zhou Zhongping's arrangement and immediately expressed different opinions:
"What's the use of checking the video now? The important thing is to catch Wang Zhiyong quickly. If we let him escape again this time, it will be harder to find him in the future."
"I know, don't forget, we are on a small island, he can run there."
"There is a ferry. What if he runs away on the ferry?"
"Don't worry, have you forgotten that the ferry was open for three hours when we came to this island? It has only been an hour since the incident, and he must still be floating on the sea."
"You mean to intercept the ferry?"
"Yes, the most important thing now is to contact the Haizhou City Police Department and ask them to help block the dock, thoroughly check the vehicles and people ashore, and prevent Wang Zhiyong from continuing to escape. This task is left to you, hurry up!" Zhou Zhongping said in an unquestionable tone.
said.
"You?" He Jing glared at him, took out his cell phone and walked aside to make a call.
Finding that He Jing didn't talk back to him this time, Zhou Zhongping smiled proudly. Seeing the manager still standing in the corridor, Zhou Zhongping asked:
"Manager, how long does it take to get to the dock from here?"
"It'll take about ten minutes. There's a taxi at the door. It'll be quick." The manager replied.
The manager's words reminded Zhou Zhongping, he patted the manager's shoulder and ran quickly to the manager's office. In the office, Song Qing and Ma Yan were busy checking the video, and they heard Song Qing shout loudly:
"Yes, it's him!"
A man wearing a bath towel and sunglasses appeared on the computer screen. The man stood a little away from the counter and was looking at Zhou Zhongping and the other four.
"Okay, that's right, it's him. Quickly switch to the camera at the hotel entrance." Zhou Zhongping ran over and said.
"Okay, when do you need to watch the video?" Song Qing asked.
"What happened after the incident was probably about 15 minutes after I arrived at the hotel."
The camera at the entrance of the hotel was called up, and the taxi drop-off and pick-up locations were clearly shown in the lens. After Song Qing adjusted the time, the video started playing.
A man wearing a black T-shirt, sunglasses, and carrying a backpack appeared. He did not come out of the hotel door, but walked along the path in the green belt outside the hotel. As he walked, he looked around and around
Then, when he was about to approach the taxi, he lowered his head and walked to the front taxi, opened the back door and got in. Then the taxi started and left the camera.
"That's him." Ma Yan said.
"Well, let's go back and look at the taxi number." Zhou Zhongping said.
"I know this car." The manager standing behind Zhou Zhongping said.
"Oh, do you recognize this car?"
"Yes, I basically know the car waiting for guests here. The driver of this car is the brother of our hotel chef Xiao Chen."
"Oh, so that's it." Zhou Zhongping pondered for a moment and said to the manager:
"Hurry up and call the chef Xiao Chen."
The manager led Xiao Chen to the office. After Zhou Zhongping gave him some instructions, Xiao Chen took out his mobile phone and dialed his brother's number. He said in his hometown dialect:
"Brother, where are you?"
"Send the guest to Haizhou, what can I do?"
"I still want to go home with you to see my parents today. When will you come back?"
"It may be very late. The guest insists on taking my car across the sea. It's still a long way to the other side. I'm afraid I won't be able to go today."
"So long? Where are you now?"
"On the ferry."
"When will we arrive?"
"It will probably take another 2 hours. This ferry is very slow."
The chef Xiao Chen chatted with his brother for a long time. Zhou Zhongping and Song Qing and Ma Yan beside him were stunned and didn't understand a word. Xiao Chen hung up the phone and said to Zhou Zhongping in Mandarin:
"My brother is still on the ferry. It will take 2 hours to dock."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. We will still need your help in the future, so please don't leave."
"No problem, I'll follow you, officer."
He Jing opened the office door and walked in. She said with a relaxed face:
"Everything has been arranged. Haizhou City's armed police and water police speedboats have been dispatched."
