The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

The four rushed back to the Public Security Bureau again. At this time, it was already around 11.30 late at night.

"How are you? Can you still continue to work?" Lin Xin asked as she walked.

"We are okay. Now that we are getting closer to the truth, I am very energetic." Officer Tang said quickly. At the same time, a slight smile appeared on his face.

Now, as long as they can find out the identity of the mysterious woman, they can solve the case quickly. At least, that's what Police Officer Tang thinks.

However, Lin Xin is not very optimistic about this, because she feels that there are still some things that she has not completely sorted out.

For example, even if you saw a mysterious woman actually appearing in the hotel, you did have contact with Dong Hongwei, but what can be done? Because the deceased can no longer speak, so who will tell them who this woman is?

However, in order to prevent others from losing willpower, Lin Xin hid this concern in her heart. Now, they have grasped some new clues, so they must continue to analyze the new clues.

Maybe you can see some clues.

Before he stepped into the conference hall, Officer Tang whispered to one of the police officers on duty: "Bring us a pot of coffee. Officer Lin and I have to work overtime tonight."

After the little police officer agreed, he rushed to the pantry and prepared a pot of coffee for them.

After police officer Tang poured a cup of coffee for each of them, he also poured himself a cup. He took a sip of coffee and looked in the direction where Lin Xin was sitting. He saw that the other party was frowning and sitting quietly, as if thinking about something important.

So he gently touched Yang Cong's arm and asked in a low voice, "How about? Can we start watching surveillance video?"

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong hadn't agreed, but Lin Xin's voice came from over there, "Well, it's time to start."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Officer Tang's face. He obviously lowered his voice and tried not to disturb Lin Xin's thoughts, but he was still heard by the other party.

However, he didn't think too much, just said quickly: "Okay, let me play surveillance video for you first."

Officer Tang immediately opened the video, and everyone sat in their respective positions, drinking coffee and watching the video.

Through the surveillance video, I saw that the lobby of the "Rose Hotel" looked a little deserted on Friday night. The flow of people in the hotel lobby is not particularly large, only twos and threes of hotel guests come in and then go out, so as long as there are particularly prominent or suspicious characters appear, it is easy to be noticed.

Since the "Rose Hotel" is a cheap hotel, the hotel guests who come to stay are not considered luxurious and modest people.

They are just businessmen who happened to pass by here to do some small business, or some young people who came here to find flowers and ask Liu, or even college students who came to the hotel to open a room.

Lin Xin and others were watching the video patiently, and found that the "Rose Hotel" in the video did not show any upper-class people in suits or luxuriously dressed.

They waited until the video time showed 11.48 pm, only to see the two women helping each other walk into the hotel.

When they took a closer look, they saw that the two women were not actually supporting each other, but the other woman holding the waist of the other woman and slowly walking to the hotel reception desk.

Lin Xin stared at the two women closely and recognized that one of them was Dong Hongwei.

"Sister Lin, the woman on the left is Dong Hongwei." Mei Hua quietly said to Lin Xin, her eyes staring at the video.

"Yeah. The other woman may be a strange woman who went to Lufeng to dance. Did you see it? She also wore a pair of high heels under her feet. Both women came here wearing high heels, so it can be explained that they should have just come from Come out from the bar, and then all the way to the "Rose Hotel" to stay." Lin Xin also said softly.

Later, everything played in the video was just like what Miss Jian at the front desk of the hotel said. After the strange woman settled Dong Hongwei, she walked into the hotel lobby by herself and left the hotel without looking back.

At this moment, Officer Tang turned his head and said to Lin Xin: "Officer Lin, this strange woman is really mysterious. She avoided surveillance video all the way, and I couldn't see her face clearly."

"Haha, Officer Tang also noticed. She seems to be very familiar with the location of the hotel's surveillance video, which makes me even more suspicious of her." Lin Xin said.

"Why?" Officer Tang asked.

"Because this woman does not seem to live in Longshi, but she seems to be very familiar with the location of the surveillance video here. Does she often come to this hotel to stay? If this is the case, then why Chen from XY Bar The manager said he hadn't seen her? Why is this?" Lin Xin asked, turning her head to look at everyone.

"Sister Lin, you are right. But why is this?" Mei Hua asked at this time, also thinking that what the boss said was very reasonable.

Lin Xin sighed and said, "I'm still thinking about this issue... But let's continue watching, there may be other discoveries."

As a result, the four people looked up again to watch the video. Until they watched for nearly 4 hours, they found that apart from the twos and threes who came in outside the hotel, they had never seen any suspicious people.

Lin Xin turned to Officer Tang and said: "Officer Tang, let's take a look at the surveillance video on the day Dong Hongwei checked out."

"Okay." Officer Tang agreed, then changed to another video, and then played it again.

At this time, Lin Xin and others continued to sit in their chairs and watch the surveillance video. Just when they saw the video showed that the time was 9.50 in the morning, they saw Dong Hongwei again appearing in the lobby.

"Sister Lin, she has appeared again!" Yang Cong called softly.

Lin Xin just gave an "um" and stared at everyone in the video, including Dong Hongwei.

When Dong Hongwei was checking out, she seemed to behave in a hurry, and at the same time she seemed a little uneasy, and she didn't know what it was for.

Later, when Lin Xin noticed that Dong Hongwei was frequently looking in one direction on the right hand side, she said to Officer Tang, "Inspector Tang, you pressed the pause button at 10.03 in the morning when the video time was just shown."

Officer Tang looked at Lin Xin with doubts and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Did you not see? Dong Hongwei has already looked to the right hand side for a few seconds for the third time. What is she looking at?" Lin Xin said quickly. Then she said: "I suspect she is looking at someone."

Officer Tang was taken aback, and immediately understood the meaning of Lin Xin's words. He quickly turned the video to 10.03 minutes, and then pressed the pause button.

"Look, she is looking here." Lin Xin said, pointing to the east on the screen.

The other three people followed Lin Xin's finger and looked over, and saw that there was a man standing there, about one meter away from Dong Hongwei.

"Sister Lin, she really is looking at the man!" Mei Hua called out loudly at this time.

"Inspector Lin, does that mean..." When Officer Tang said this, he paused and turned to look at Lin Xin, expecting what she would say next.

"Yes, I suspect that she has been watching this man since checking out. I have noticed the first two times. The man has been standing there, and Dong Hongwei has frequently looked in that direction. So, it shows. What? This shows that Dong Hongwei knows this man, and this man is most likely the murderer who killed Peng Jingchun, Chen Yanling, and Dong Hongwei!" Lin Xin said firmly, with a chill in her tone.

"But, Sister Lin, we can't see how this man looks. He seems to be avoiding the camera." Mei Hua said again.

Then, Yang Cong also interrupted at this time: "Sister Lin, he not only dodges the camera, he also deliberately asked Dong Hongwei to check out by himself, so that no one would suspect him. Another point is if this person The man really imprisoned Dong Hongwei, so why did Dong Hongwei feel so scared and didn't immediately ask the front desk for help?"

"Yang Cong is right. If this man is really the murderer, why doesn't Dong Hongwei immediately send out a signal for help when the man is one meter away from her?" Police Officer Tang agreed with Yang Cong's point of view and asked.

Lin Xin smiled, stood up and started walking back and forth in the conference hall. After a long time, she turned around and said to everyone: "The reason is very simple. First: the murderer should have grasped some of Dong Hongwei's private things, so as to coerce her to check out obediently, instead of taking the opportunity to seek help or escape. Otherwise, it is. Dong Hongwei is just a college student who is still studying. She may only want to save her life and obey the murderer's words instead of asking for help. However, I still think my first statement is more reliable."

"What did the murderer know about Dong Hongwei?" At this time, Officer Tang asked again.

Lin Xin smiled again and raised her eyebrows and said, "During the few days they were in the hotel, the murderer must have done that to her, and then it is very likely that he also recorded a video of him sexually assaulting Dong Hongwei on her mobile phone. The murderer did. With so much preparation, I must have already forgotten this story, so I recorded the video first, and then used this to coerce Dong Hongwei into obediently!"

"But even so, we couldn't find out the identity of the murderer. He also avoided the camera very cleverly." Mei Hua once again raised the suspicious point seen in the surveillance video.

But at this moment, Lin Xin's head buzzed again, and the hazy, flashing thought before suddenly appeared in her mind at this moment.

She saw a triumphant smile on her face, and this smile made Yang Cong and Mei Hua, who had followed her for many years, immediately knew that she had completely sorted out all the chaotic thoughts and thoughts trapped in her head.

"Everyone, the murderer and the strange woman dodge the camera cleverly, what can you think of?" Lin Xin asked with a smile, her face full of confidence.

When the three people in the seat looked at Lin Xin's beautiful face, some thoughts also faintly appeared in their minds. However, are these ideas too bold? Or is it too ridiculous and unbelievable?

However, none of them dared to tell the thoughts hidden in their hearts, until Lin Xin asked again: "Have you seen a movie called "The Silent Lamb"?" Yang Cong blurted out. : "The murderer and the strange woman are the same person!"

The author has something to say: "The Silent Lamb" has always been a favorite movie of the author, so the high heels case is also inspired by this movie.
