Looking at the three corpses in the room, the hotel owner stood aside and trembled. After so many years of operation, although thefts and fights have happened from time to time, there has never been a murder case, and three of them died in one breath!
Ma Peiqu has just interrogated all the guests in the hotel and found no doubts. He is now a little anxious. He finally obtained important clues and ruined everything overnight!
"The time of death of the three deceased persons was consistent, between nine and twelve o'clock last night, and the error would not be greater than one hour." After working hard all morning, the forensic doctor finally came to a preliminary conclusion.
"that's it?"
"In addition, the murderer's marksmanship was very accurate. He only fired three shots in total and did not shoot again."
Ma Peiqu turned to the hotel owner and said, "Have any outsiders been to the hotel at the time mentioned by the forensic doctor?"
Boss: "No. If outsiders come in, they need to show their ID to register their identity."
"Does the hotel have only one exit?"
"There is also a back door, but it is rarely used and is always locked."
"Take me to see it!"
"Please come this way."
The boss led the way to the back door on the first floor and said, "Look, the door is always locked. It's impossible for outsiders to come in..."
Ma Peiqu walked over, stretched out his hand and pushed hard. The door opened with a sound, and outside the door was a small road behind the hotel building.
The boss said in surprise: "Here, what's going on... I remember clearly that the door is locked..."
Ma Peiqu ignored him and went to the back of the building to look around. There were very few people here, and it was still early, so the traces on the snow were not damaged.
There are two ruts on the roadside. It can be seen from the traces that after the car stopped, I don't know how long it took, and then turned around and returned to the original road.
It snowed continuously last night. Although the ruts could be seen, there was no way to tell what kind of vehicle it was. If we tracked it on the road, it would be even more difficult to trace it.
The agent following him said: "Team Leader Ma, I understand. The killer pried open the back door, then went upstairs and killed Daping and the others..."
Ma Peiqu sighed and said, "Yes, you can pick the door lock without alerting anyone. This is a very professional agent!"
The agent scratched his head and said: "One thing is hard for me to understand. Daping and the others are very skilled. How could they not even take out their guns? Are the killers so powerful?"
Ma Peiqu's heart moved, and he turned around and quickly returned to the hotel. When he came to the room on the third floor, he first carefully checked the door lock of the room, and then looked at the corpses and pondered for a long time.
There were no signs of prying on the door lock of the room, indicating that it was Dahei and the others who opened the door. Between nine and twelve o'clock, during this time period, how could two experienced secret agents take the initiative to open the door if they were not familiar and trusted people!
The gunman obviously knew the situation very well. He knew which room Daping and his friends were staying in, how many people were in the room, and even knew who was in the room!
Through the above analysis, Mapei quickly made a judgment that the shooter must be one of his own! Only one of his own people meets the above clues!
——It’s not that Daping and the others didn’t have time to draw their guns, it’s that they didn’t even think about drawing their guns!
Ma Peiqu did not predict that there would be a mole in the detective team. There were many people who knew that Li Bing was hiding in Shunfa Hotel. If a thorough investigation was conducted, at least one-third of the people would be suspected!
"Team Leader Ma, look at this." A special agent picked up a white porcelain cup from the corner.
There was a small crack on the edge of the cup. Ma Peiqu took it and smelled it. There was a faint smell of wine. There were bowls, chopsticks and a wine pot on the table, but there was only one missing wine glass.
It is easy to judge that the cup was thrown by Li Bing. It probably missed the gunman and hit the wall directly, so it broke.
There was only a small broken piece, but it was not found in the room. He didn't know where it fell. Mapeiqu didn't think much about it and ordered people to take the body away.
Two days later.
Detective team headquarters.
“Tuk-tuk!”
"Come in."
Ma Peiqu opened the door and walked in, bowed and said: "Captain, are you looking for me?"
Jiang Xinyu put down the newspaper in his hand, glanced at him, and said, "Team Leader Ma, what have you been busy with recently?"
"I'm still investigating the matter at Shunfa Hotel."
"any progress?"
"Uh... not yet."
Jiang Xinyu motioned for him to sit down and said, "Someone is reporting to me that you are secretly investigating your colleagues in the detective team. Is this happening?"
Ma Peiqu hesitated and said, "Yes!"
"Why do you want to check your own people?"
"I think what happened at Shunfa Hotel is probably because there was a Communist spy in our detective team!"
Jiang Xinyu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said: "Team Leader Ma, I want to remind you that there must be evidence for this kind of thing!"
"yes!"
"I originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the people below have a lot of opinions about you now. As the captain, I can't just ignore it."
"Captain, as long as you give me enough time, I will definitely find out who the spy is!"
"There was a Communist agent in the detective team before. Fortunately, Major Hattori didn't blame him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to be the captain. Do you understand what I mean?"
"……clear!"
Jiang Xinyu's intention was very clear. Unless Ma Peiqu could find conclusive evidence, he would not be allowed to continue the investigation.
Ma Peiqu is different from ordinary secret agents. This guy's investigation methods are very professional, and he might be able to find clues!
Jiang Xinyu knew very well that Mina Hattori stayed at home that night. Due to the special status of this "witness", Ma Peiqu did not dare to investigate further.
But no one can guarantee whether Jiang Xinyu met anyone he knew on the way to Shunfa Hotel, even though he had removed his car plate in advance as a precaution.
Using the power of his superiors and the complaints of his subordinates to order Ma Peiqu not to investigate further seemed both unobtrusive and reasonable.
"Although you didn't catch the fisherman, your work ability is obvious to all. I hope you will continue to work hard and continue to contribute to Japan-China friendship!" Jiang Xinyu said comforting words while walking to the coat rack.
"I will do my best in my humble position!" Ma Peiqu bowed slightly.
Jiang Xinyu put on his coat and said: "I'm going to the gendarmerie to try to apply for a reward. The brothers have worked very hard during this period, and they should be rewarded for their hard work."
Ma Peiqu: "Captain Jiang has taken the trouble..."
Jiang Xinyu took off his hat from the coat rack, and a white granular object fell to the ground.
After putting on his clothes, Jiang Xinyu turned around, picked up the key from the table, and said to Ma Peiqu, "Let's go."
"Please go first!" Ma Peiqu said respectfully.
Jiang Xinyu stepped out and Ma Peiqu took the opportunity to bend down and pick up the white particle - it was a white porcelain shard.
