Xu Lang had just made breakfast and was in Xiao Yueyue's room. When he was dragging the little one out of bed who was trying to sleep in under the quilt, his cell phone in the living room rang.
"I'll give you three minutes, get up quickly."
Xu Lang stood at the head of the bed, said something to Xiao Yueyue, and then turned around and left Xiao Yueyue's room and walked towards the living room.
"Jingle Bell......"
The ringtone of the mobile phone is still howling, and as the mobile phone vibrates, the mobile phone is dancing happily on the coffee table.
Xu Lang walked over, picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Ding Haoqiong.
When he saw the caller, Xu Lang realized that something must have happened. He thought to himself as he answered the call.
"Hello."
"Brother Lang, have you arrived at the unit?"
"Not yet, that girl of mine is still lying in bed."
As he spoke, Xu Lang looked at Xiao Yueyue's bedroom, and then saw a sleepy Xiao Yueyue with half-closed eyes, slowly walking to the bathroom with her slippers in hand, and couldn't help but shake her head.
"Did something happen if you called me so early?" Xu Lang asked.
"Li Ziyu is dead."
"Um?!"
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"How did you die?"
"suicide."
"suicide?"
Xu Lang's frown became more and more intense. Obviously, he was a little surprised, but he was more confused, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"It seems to be a suicide at the moment. We have arrived at the scene."
"Where is the crime scene?"
“Room 5112, Hyatt Hotel.”
Xu Lang frowned when he heard the address Ding Haoqiong said on the other end of the phone. Sure enough, something was really wrong.
Xu Lang was silent for a few seconds and said, "I'll be on the scene right away."
After saying that, Xu Lang hung up the phone.
"Why is it the Hyatt Hotel again? What secret exists in room 5112?" Xu Lang murmured to himself.
Xu Lang didn't think much. He took his mobile phone and walked to the door of the bathroom. He looked at Xiao Yueyue who was standing in front of the sink, brushing her teeth on her toes, and said, "There's something going on at work. I'll leave first. Breakfast is ready."
At the dining table, remember to clean up after eating. If you want to stay at home, you can. If you don’t want to stay at home, go to Aunt Ye or go directly to CSY.”
"Oh, I understand, please leave quickly."
Xiao Yueyue spoke vaguely, while raising her hand and waving it, like shooing away mosquitoes, asking Xu Lang to leave quickly.
Seeing Xiao Yueyue like this, Xu Lang felt helpless, and without saying anything else, he turned around and went to the bedroom, changed his clothes, and left.

Hyatt Hotel.
Li Jiaqing is 38 years old. He is the manager and the main person in charge of this hotel.
Years ago, after the news that the famous artist Xu Lulu was murdered at the Hyatt Regency Hotel was reported by the media, most of the guests who had booked rooms here chose to check out as soon as possible, while a small number of people still stayed here.
For a hotel, the Chinese New Year period is the peak season for the hotel, and it could have made a lot of profits. However, although the Hyatt Hotel this year still made a lot of profits, compared with previous years,
It's much less and much more pitiful.
Today, the Hyatt Regency Hotel once again welcomed the police. For no other reason than another person died in the hotel, and it was also a well-known artist, Li Ziyu.
At this moment, Li Jiaqing was in a very bad mood. He wanted to scold his mother, but scolding his mother could not solve any problem.
Xu Lang rushed to the Hyatt Hotel as quickly as possible and took the elevator straight to the seventh floor.
When he walked out of the elevator, Xu Lang saw a cordon set up at the door of room 5112. CSY members were busy, and Luo Jiayan and a fat man were talking in the corridor.
When Luo Jiayan saw Xu Lang coming, she immediately stopped her questioning.
"Brother Lang," Luo Jiayan greeted.
Xu Lang nodded slightly, then took a deep look at the middle-aged man and asked, "What's going on? I heard that Li Ziyu is dead?"
Luo Jiayan's expression was solemn and blank as she said: "Li Ziyu is indeed dead, and he died in room 5112."
"What's going on?" Xu Lang asked again.
"Here's the thing..."
This morning, Ding Haoqiong, who went to work at CSY early, received a call from the 110 command center as soon as he arrived at the unit, saying that someone was killed in room 5112 of the Hyatt Hotel. The deceased was a well-known artist, so he asked CSY people to rush there immediately.
The scene was investigated and the person who reported the crime was the manager of the Hyatt Hotel, Li Jiaqing, the middle-aged man standing next to Luo Jiayan at this time.
Because Xu Lulu died tragically in Room 5116 of the Hyatt Hotel a few years ago, which caused many guests to check out and cancel their reservations. However, many people still chose the Hyatt Hotel. First of all, the Hyatt Hotel is S
It is a very famous five-star hotel in the city. There is definitely no problem with the service and decoration here. Secondly, during the Chinese New Year, many hotel rooms are relatively tight, and the Hyatt Hotel is naturally the best choice. Although
People have been killed here, but in the absence of better options, there are still many
People choose to live here.
Any occupied room will have attendants enter the room to clean it every day.
The room on the seventh floor was temporarily blocked due to the Xu Lulu case. However, due to the need for guest rooms, the hotel contacted Xu Lang and wanted to open the seventh floor. Xu Lang thought that Fan Yang and the others had already dealt with 5116
After a detailed survey of the room, we agreed.
This morning, the room attendant went to each room to clean as usual, and when passing room 5112, the attendant noticed something strange.
Room 5116 is blocked and no one is allowed to live in it for the time being. Moreover, even if someone dies in the room, no one will choose to live here. Room 5112 is a room that Huang Xiude has rented for a long time. Huang Xiude usually comes here when he comes.
The waiters will only come to clean the hotel after the hotel is completed, and they rarely go to the room in normal times.
Some time ago, Fan Yang and the others went to room 5112 to investigate based on the surveillance video and the confessions of Huang Xiude and others. After finding no useful clues, they gave up.
The police did not ask the hotel to seal room 5112, and 5112 was rented by Huang Xiude for a long time. He is now in jail, so there is no need to clean it. However, when the waiter passed by room 5112, he found that the door of room 5112 was empty.
It was hidden, which made her feel strange, so she knocked on the door subconsciously, but no one answered.
The waiter knew that something happened in the hotel some time ago, so she walked into the room subconsciously.
There were signs that someone had lived in the room, but when she entered, she saw no one in the bedroom or living room, so she went to the bathroom. As a result, she saw a corpse in the bathroom. The deceased was none other than
Li Ziyu.
According to the waiter's description, Li Ziyu was naked and lying on his back in the bathtub. The water in the bathtub was all dyed red with blood. One arm was resting on the edge of the bathtub. There were also blood stains on the bathroom floor. There was a large mark on his wrist.
The deep gash showed that the deceased had committed suicide by cutting his wrists.
After seeing this scene, the waiter was frightened. She quickly exited the room and found the hotel manager Li Jiaqing, explaining the situation in room 5112. After Li Jiaqing learned that another person had died, he immediately chose to call the police. In addition,
He also asked the waiter to return to the seventh floor, not allowing anyone to enter room 5112, and waiting for the arrival of the police.
————
After listening to Luo Jiayan's report, Xu Lang frowned and thought of several doubts.
First, room 5112 is a room rented by Huang Xiude for a long time. It is usually used for hanging out with women. After Xu Lulu was killed and Huang Xiude was arrested, no one can enter this room. The only person who can enter the room is
There are people in the hotel.
Second, according to previous investigations, Li Ziyu is a contracted artist of Baiyou Entertainment Company, and Huang Xiude is one of the shareholders of Baiyou Entertainment Company. They have a superior-subordinate relationship. Although Huang Xiude wanted to unspoken rules for Li Ziyu, Li Ziyu did not agree, and
The results of the police investigation also showed that there was no improper male-female relationship between the two people. So, why did Li Ziyu appear in room 5112?
Third, when Xu Lulu was killed, Li Ziyu went to room 5116, and then she disappeared. When she appeared again, she was at the city police station. On New Year's Eve, Xu Lang released her and asked her not to leave S city for the time being.
And Li Ziyu has a place to live in S city, so why does she come to 5112 for vacation?
Fourth, who opened the door of room 5112? Was it the hotel? Or was it opened by other methods? Why was the door of room 5112 ajar? When did Li Ziyu appear in room 5112?
These questions need to be clarified one by one.
Facing the questions raised by Xu Lang, Li Jiaqing gave some answers.
Because room 5112 is rented by Huang Xiude for a long time, the price is relatively favorable and cheap. Every time Huang Xiude rents it, it is a year-to-year lease, and there are still three months until the room expires. Although, something happened to Huang Xiude now.
However, when Huang Xiude and his family members did not request to check out, room 5112 still belonged to Huang Xiude and they would not open it to the public for the time being.
No one has entered room 5112 since Fan Yang came to inspect it last time. After calling the police, Li Jiaqing asked the hotel attendant and learned that no one went to room 5112 to clean it during this time, and 5112
The room card and key are all here in the hotel, Luo Jiayan can prove this.
In addition, after the police arrived at the scene, they found the room card in the room, and the room card that was supposed to be on Huang Xiude's possession was found at the scene. This is another suspicious point.
As for how Li Ziyu appeared in room 5112, Li Jiaqing didn't know. However, according to Li Jiaqing, on the afternoon of February 16, Chen Xiaohong had booked a room at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, with room number 8110, and went to get the room at that time.
The person who made the card was not Chen Xiaohong, but Li Ziyu, and the room was reserved for two weeks.
After learning about this new situation, Xu Lang suddenly frowned.
Li Ziyu has a house in S city, but why doesn't she live at home?
Is it because she is afraid that someone will do something bad to her? Or is it because of what happened to Xu Lulu before that she feels that her home is not safe and the hotel is safer?
If this is really the case, it is understandable. However, there are many five-star hotels in S city, and the Hyatt Hotel is not the only choice. Why did Li Ziyu book a room at the Hyatt Hotel?
Xu Lulu was murdered at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It would be ok if others didn’t know about it.
Originally, how could Li Ziyu not know? There must be a reason or purpose for her to choose to stay at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. So, what is her purpose?
After Xu Lang asked Luo Jiayan and Li Jiaqing some more questions, he didn't get any more answers, so Xu Lang turned around and went to the crime scene.
Fan Yang and Qi Xiangming were surveying the scene, while Ding Haoqiong and Qin Mingyue were in the bathroom.
After Xu Lang entered the door, he first subconsciously looked at the door lock and found that the door lock was in good condition with no signs of being pried. He subconsciously touched his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then, Xu Lang continued to walk inside. When he passed the door, Xu Lang glanced at the wall and saw a room card in the card slot. It seemed that Li Jiaqing was not lying.
The room was a little messy. Xu Lang went to the bedroom first and found that the quilt on the bed was in a mess. There were also women's clothes on the bed, including underwear and outerwear. Obviously, someone had lived here.
There were no signs of fighting in the bedroom, which surprised Xu Lang. Then, he walked out of the bedroom and went to the living room. He found signs that someone had lived in the living room. There were magazines opened on the coffee table, as well as water glasses and water glasses.
There was lipstick residue on the edges, and the pillows on the sofa were askew.
The condition of the living room is similar to that of the bedroom. There are signs of use, but there are no signs of fighting.
After Xu Lang watched for a while, he walked to the bathroom door.
Qin Mingyue was the only one in the bathroom, and Ding Haoqiong was not seen. At this time, Qin Mingyue was squatting next to the bathtub, conducting a preliminary autopsy.
Xu Lang approached the bathroom and saw Li Ziyu's body.
Li Jiaqing was right, the deceased was Li Ziyu.
Li Ziyu was naked, lying on her back in the bathtub. Li Ziyu's skin was already very white. Xu Lang noticed it when he saw Li Ziyu before, but now, her skin is even fairer.
Not the kind of healthy white skin, but the grayish white color of excessive blood loss.
Li Ziyu had her eyes closed, and her expression was very calm, just like when Xu Lang saw her for the first time, unusually calm and serene. Her mouth was pursed tightly, and her originally pink lips were now gray.
Not a trace of blood.
His neck was soaked in water, or to be precise, he was soaked in light red blood, which made it difficult to see what was going on in the water. Li Ziyu's left hand was soaked in his hand, and his other hand was resting on the edge of the bathtub.
There was a deep wound on his wrist. Following the position of his arm, Xu Lang saw a pool of solidified blood on the ground. There was a rectangular gap next to the blood stain. There was blood in the middle of the rectangle. It looked like there was something there.
Something exists.
At this time, Qin Mingyue was holding Li Ziyu's left hand and looking at it. Xu Lang noticed that there was also a wound on the wrist of his left hand. The wound was deep and split, just like a baby's lips. It might have been in the water.
After soaking in the water for a long time, the skin around the wound has wrinkles, and the exposed wound is grayish white in color.
According to the condition of the corpse seen at the scene, Li Ziyu should have committed suicide. However, something made Xu Lang feel a little confused.
Most people choose to commit suicide in the bathtub. Most of them make a cut on their left wrist or right wrist. Very few people cut a cut on both wrists. This is very abnormal and uncoordinated.
"How's the autopsy going?" Xu Lang asked.
Hearing Xu Lang's voice, Qin Mingyue subconsciously raised her head, glanced at Xu Lang, and said: "Preliminary investigation shows that the deceased died of shock caused by excessive blood loss."
"Suicide?" Xu Lang asked.
Qin Mingyue did not answer the question immediately, but turned her head, looked at the wrist of her left hand, then looked at the wrist of her right hand, frowned, and said: "Initially, it seems to be suicide, but...
..”
Speaking of this, Qin Mingyue shook his head. Obviously, he was also confused about the fact that Li Ziyu had wounds on both wrists.
"Time of death?"
"The preliminary inference is that it was around eight to eleven o'clock last night." Qin Mingyue said.
"He just died yesterday." Xu Lang murmured to himself.
"Has the murder weapon been found?" Xu Lang asked again.
Qin Mingyue nodded, picked up an evidence bag, and said, "Here it is."
Xu Lang glanced at the evidence bag and found that there was a razor blade with blood stains on it. Looking at the blade, Xu Lang looked at the ground again and determined that the missing rectangle should be the location of the murderer.
.
"Are there any symbols or anything like that at the scene?" Xu Lang asked.
Qin Mingyue knew what the symbol Xu Lang was talking about. He shook his head and said, "No, there is nothing in the bathroom except the body of the deceased."
Xu Lang nodded. He didn't know why. He breathed a sigh of relief secretly, but he was a little disappointed in his heart.
"Has the preliminary autopsy been completed?" Xu Lang asked.
Qin Mingyue nodded.
Seeing Qin Mingyue nodding, Xu Lang walked over and lifted the body out of the bathtub with Qin Mingyue. After the body was taken out, Xu Lang discovered that there was a wound on Li Ziyu's abdomen. It was not a new wound, but an old wound.
.
Xu Lang stared at the wound for a long time, feeling that it looked a bit like a scar left by a caesarean section, but not quite like it. He turned his head, looked at Qin Mingyue and asked: "Is this a scar left by a caesarean section?"
Qin Mingyue followed Xu Lang's line of sight, shook her head, and said, "No."
Hearing this, Xu Lang didn't pay much attention. The two of them put the body into the body bag, and then Xu Lang walked out of the bathroom.
