After the case was over, the task force and others were exhausted both physically and mentally. On the one hand, they had not rested for days, and on the other hand, they had gone to such a beautiful place for a murder case.
"Bai Hongwei, when is your engagement party?"
"Engagement banquet? Stop talking about it. My wife doesn't know what's going on. She insists on having an engagement banquet. You also know that our salary is at the middle level in Binhai. We have already spent a lot of money to get married.
Now. We really don’t have any money to hold an engagement party now.”
Seeing Bai Hongwei's embarrassed look, Chen Bai also expressed his understanding. After all, as an old man in his thirties who is not yet married, he must have disliked the things that young people like.
"However, since your wife wants it, I think you'd better make arrangements. Otherwise, if your wife gets angry, the matter will be serious."
Chen Bai is not joking. Bai Hongwei was kicked out of the house because he made his wife angry.
"What? I'm a grown man and can't make the decision anymore?"
Bai Hongwei was a little angry, but Chen Bai just smiled and said.
"Really? Do you really dare not to do it?"
"Don't dare!"
Fortunately, there have been no cases recently, so when work was off on Saturdays and Sundays, Chen Bai and Song Anchun accompanied Bai Hongwei and others to find a hotel.
"I think this place is good. People also use this place as a wedding hotel. I think we should choose the hotel here?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After hearing Bai Hongwei's words, Song Anchun asked with some doubts.
"It's already here. Your invitations have been sent out. Is it possible that the hotel hasn't been booked yet?"
Mentioning this, Bai Hongwei looked helpless.
"It's not that we didn't find a good hotel, but that in the hotel we found, there were three weddings happening at the same time that day, two on the first floor and one on the second floor. There were more than 70 tables in the one on the second floor. I could only get married with one of them.
On the first floor, what if our relatives get the wrong table? Also, it always feels weird when two couples who don’t know each other hold a wedding together."
After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, Chen Bai also nodded and looked back at Song Anchun beside him.
"Then it seems that when we get married in the future, we will have to choose a hotel early."
"Um!"
Song Anchun didn't react at first, until he heard Chen Bai's words and his face suddenly turned red.
"What are you talking about in this large crowd?"
"What? Am I wrong? Marriage is a top priority, shouldn't we take it more seriously?"
Song Anchun nodded, but Chen Bai spoke a little too loudly, so many people looked at them.
"Yes, yes, once I know, please stop talking."
While several people were visiting the hotel, a girl wearing a bridesmaid dress ran out anxiously, looking around for something.
"Ali, have you found someone?"
"No, it's really strange. There aren't any anywhere."
Another girl also ran out. Chen Bai saw that both of them were wearing bridesmaid dresses and concluded that these two girls should be friends of the bride at this wedding.
"The wedding is about to start now, but we can't find the bride. What should we do?"
Both of them were a little anxious. Chen Bai didn't take it seriously at first, but at this time Bai Hongwei took the initiative to show his ID.
"What happened?"
"Officer, our friend is getting married today, but she was in the backcourt just now, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye."
After Bai Hongwei heard this, he turned around and looked at Chen Bai behind him.
"Okay, don't worry, we'll help you find it."

In fact, Chen Bai didn't pay much attention to it. The bride got up very early during the wedding. She probably didn't know where to rest at this moment. She might have forgotten the time. This is normal.
"Okay, then let's look for it together."
Although Chen Bai didn't know the bride, after all, the bride at this time was wearing a wedding dress, so it was easier to recognize her.
"Okay, let's look for it separately."
But when Chen Bai found the dressing room, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
"Bai Hongwei, contact Dabinzi and the others quickly, something happened."
In the dressing room, a woman was sitting on a chair wearing a wedding dress. Opposite was a mirror. An inverted pentagram was painted on the woman's feet. A dagger was stuck in the woman's heart. Blood had stained the woman's wedding dress red.
"what's the situation?"
When Bai Hongwei arrived, Chen Bai was standing at the door of the dressing room. When Bai Hongwei saw the scene in the dressing room, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
"Don't worry now, wait until Da Binzi and the others arrive!"
The police arrived at the scene quickly. After Chen Bai entered the scene, he discovered that there was a candle burning in the southeast corner of the room.
"The deceased died about an hour ago. The stab wound to the chest was a fatal wound. There were no signs of struggle on the woman's body. The murderer should have taken advantage of the deceased's unpreparedness and suddenly stabbed the deceased's chest with a knife. But he could do this
Yes, it must be someone who was extremely close to the deceased."
After Song Anchun finished speaking, Chen Bai looked at the bridesmaids.
"When did you discover that the deceased was missing?"
"Comrade police, we arrived at the hotel after eight o'clock today. After that, we were preparing for the bride's makeup outside, but it was almost eleven o'clock and we didn't see the bride coming out. At this time, we were a little anxious, but we looked for her.
I haven’t found it for a long time.”
When the girl said this, Da Binzi beside her suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, you said you spent a long time looking for it, but you didn't look at the dressing room?"
"This is not a dressing room at all. Our dressing room is on the third floor."
After the girl finished speaking, Chen Bai also began to look at the place. It really didn't look like a dressing room. Moreover, this place was said to be a dressing room, but there was nothing except the dressing table.
"Teacher Chen, why do you think the murderer made the scene look like this?"
Feng Qianqian was a little puzzled. Judging from the scene, the murderer seemed to have consciously made the scene very ritualistic, and the most important thing was that the murderer also deliberately painted a five-pointed star pattern on the mirror facing the deceased.
"Where's the groom? I want to see him!"
The bride was killed, but the groom was nowhere to be seen. When Chen Bai and others found the groom, the groom was sitting in the toilet with a lonely expression, his eyes dull, as if he had been drained of all the strength in his body.
"Chen Jun, I have a few questions to ask you."
Under Chen Bai's call, the groom finally came to his senses.
"Chen Jun, I want to ask you, has your wife ever offended anyone?"
The ceremonial scene and the decisive killing proved that the murderer probably had hatred for the bride.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could Xiaoqian, such a nice person, offend others?"
Chen Jun held his head and cried. No matter what Chen Bai asked, Chen Jun always said the same thing.
"Da Binzi, take this person back first!"

Chen Bai knew that there was nothing he could ask about Chen Jun like this, so he could only take Chen Jun back to the police station first.
"Teacher Chen, you said the murderer made the scene look like this. Why?"
Da Binzi was a little puzzled. If the murderer really had a grudge against the deceased, then he would just take revenge directly. Why would he go to such trouble to arrange the scene?
"Teacher Chen, do you think this has something to do with some kind of religious ceremony?"
After Feng Qianqian finished speaking, Chen Bai smiled and explained.
"Yes, the inverted pentagram is called the devil's summons in Western teachings, but I still have to go back and check the information to find out what it is. Li Huan, how is your investigation going?"
When he was passing by the corridor just now, Chen Bai saw that there was surveillance in the corridor, so he was now looking forward to any clues from Li Huan.
"No, there is no surveillance in this room, and this place is indeed not a dressing room, but a temporary warehouse of the hotel. It's just that there haven't been any piles of debris in this place recently. I have called up the hotel's surveillance, but in
There are so many people coming in and out of this place, it’s hard for us to judge who is a suspect.”
Chen Bai was a little embarrassed. If this was the case, it would be useless to watch the surveillance now.
"Then let's go back first, and you can protect the scene first."
Chen Bai can't see any problems with this scene for the time being, so he can only go back first.
"Chen Bai, the deceased's name is Luo Xiaoqian, female, 28 years old, a programmer for a software company. Luo Xiaoqian is usually kind and often helps her colleagues in the company."
After Li Huan finished speaking, Chen Bai rubbed his head. At this time, Da Binzi added from the side.
"The deceased arrived at the hotel this morning and has been in the dressing room since then. However, at 9:30 in the morning, the deceased left the dressing room wearing a wedding dress. It can be seen from the hotel's surveillance that the deceased went to the first floor.
Then he disappeared around this corner."
After Da Binzi finished speaking, Li Huan showed the hotel's surveillance footage on the big screen.
"Chen Bai, you saw that the deceased had a mobile phone in his hand when he went out, so I conclude that the murderer should have known the deceased."
After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, Chen Bai immediately asked.
"Was the deceased's cell phone found at the scene?"
"No, but I can retrieve the call records on the deceased's cell phone."
