The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

The four people immersed themselves in searching for the names of male classmates who had attended the class reunion that night and checked in at the XX hotel and their information, and then circled them one by one on the paper with pens.

During the period, Miss Tang filled them up with the rest of the list, and then stood by their side, watching them work hard.

Although she knew that the murder did not happen in the hotel, the deceased had stayed in this hotel not long ago, so she did not dare to neglect, and was afraid that if she was not careful, she would cause trouble to the hotel.

Approximately 45 minutes later, the data held by the four talents were compared. They handed all the circled lists to Lin Xin's hands and asked her to examine them carefully.

Lin Xin checked the names they had circled in her notebooks again. After a while, she pointed to her notebooks and said: "A total of 14 male classmates have attended the reunion. , And stayed in this hotel at the same time..."

She paused, looked up in the direction of Officer Wu, and said again: "Officer Wu, will we leave the matter of tracking these 14 men to the Public Security Bureau?"

"Well, leave it to us." Officer Wu nodded, then reached for the list and put it away.

He had to act quickly and quickly find the suspect from among these dozen people.

At this moment, the door of the meeting room was knocked, Miss Tang walked to the door and when she saw the floor manager in the hotel, she asked, "How is it? Can you bring it up?"

The floor manager nodded and said: "We have followed your instructions and brought up the monitoring of Peng Jingchun's guest room floor, the monitoring of the hotel lobby 3 days ago, and the monitoring of the lobby when Miss Peng left 2 days ago."

"Well, thank you." After Ms. Tang agreed, she turned her head again and looked at Lin Xin and the others, waiting for their instructions.

When Lin Xin heard the news from the administrator, she smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Deputy Manager Tang. After we mentioned the surveillance, we will bring it back to the bureau to observe the situation in the hotel that day. Where you cooperate, I hope you can cooperate with us."

Seeing that the police officers no longer embarrassed herself, Miss Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as there is a place that can help you, we will definitely go all out."

Later, the four returned to the Public Security Bureau again.

They came to the conference hall, and then Police Officer Wu turned on the player and said, "Let’s take a look at the surveillance video in the hotel lobby three days ago."

"Good." Lin Xin nodded and said.

The four people sat on their chairs and watched the video. Only 3 days ago, everything was in the lobby of the hotel as usual. The residents were moving freely in the lobby until the shadows of Leng Yu and Lin Xin appeared in the lobby. Officer Cold is indeed a perfect match."

Yang Cong stared at the backs of the two of them blankly, and said, "Sister Lin, why didn't I know that your figures are actually so good."

After hearing this, Mei Hua rolled his eyes sharply and said, "Sister Lin's figure is something you can say casually? Also, if you let Officer Leng hear you, be careful that she peels you off."

Yang Cong hurriedly stopped, reached out his hand to cover his mouth, and said to Lin Xin quickly: "Sister Lin, I didn't mean that, don't tell Officer Leng."

Lin Xin smiled and shook her head, and said to the video, "Let's continue watching the video."

Men, no matter what kind of woman they see, they always look at each other's figure first. Yang Cong is a typical straight man in the bureau. It would be strange if he didn't look at it.

No suspicious people were found in the video of the hotel lobby. Until the Cai brothers appeared in the lobby, Mei Hua pointed to Cai Jiaxun in the video and said, "What's wrong with him? Why do you keep scratching his head? Then, why stand at him. The man beside him is always holding his hand? Are you afraid that he will be lost?"

Lin Xin smiled slightly, and then remembered the scene of the Cai brothers that night, she couldn't help but sighed and said: "They are brothers, but the younger brother is severely mentally disabled, but the older brother is a normal man. The older brother is my classmate. His name is Cai Jiazhen. He said it was to celebrate his brother Cai Jiaxun’s birthday, so he brought him from Longshi thousands of miles away, and asked him to join in the fun of his classmates, which is considered to be a birthday celebration for him."

"What? Isn't it tired to walk around with such a mentally retarded brother?" Officer Wu frowned and asked.

"No way, the two of them have never left Longshi, and the family is also poor. This time they have a rare opportunity, so they came." Lin Xin said slowly.

When they talked about the Cai brothers, Lin Xin's eyes rolled and she seemed to think of something. She quickly took out her little notebook and confirmed that when the Chua brothers had checked into the hotel that night, she quickly said to Officer Wu: "Officer Wu, hurry up and look at the list. I want to know what room the Chua brothers are staying in. No."

Then, she turned her head and said to Yang Cong, "Yang Cong, let's call out the floor monitoring of the guest room where Peng Jingchun stayed at the hotel that night."

Although they didn't understand Lin Xin's intentions, they all followed them one by one.

"Sister Lin, what's the matter?" Mei Hua asked at this moment.

Lin Xin frowned and murmured: "I don't know, but I always feel that Cai Jiazhen's purpose in coming to Longshi is not just to celebrate his brother's birthday, I think..."

Before she finished speaking, Officer Wu already shouted: "I found it. The guest room number for the Cai brothers is 1415!"

Lin Xin's eyes suddenly shone, and she said: "Peng Jingchun lives in the room number 1416, which is next to his brothers!"

"What's wrong with living next door?" Officer Wu put down the list in his hand and asked curiously.

There are countless scenes flashed in Lin Xin's head that she had seen in high school, but this does not mean that Cai Jiazhen's every move in the past is related to the murder, so she didn't plan to tell them the reason first, just said: " I have asked Yang Cong to play the surveillance video of the 14th floor, let's take a look first."

Everyone looked at the surveillance video with doubts, and some did not understand why Lin Xin suddenly suspected the Cai brothers.

However, everyone knew that Lin Xin must have a good reason for doing this, so she didn't ask any more, but watched the video carefully.

I saw that the corridor of the surveillance video was quiet, but occasionally there were figures of residents entering and exiting the room. When the time of the surveillance video pointed to 10 o'clock, Peng Jingchun's figure suddenly appeared.

Lin Xin pointed to the woman in the video and said, "She is Peng Jingchun."

After listening, everyone watched the video attentively. However, just after Peng Jingchun walked into her room, there was no more movement.

"Peng Jingchun left the reunion at 9.45pm. She should have checked in to the guest room directly after she left, so the time for her to appear on the 14th floor is just right." Lin Xin said with her arms folded. .

Lin Xin still remembers the time when Peng Jingchun left the reunion that night, so she was not surprised that she appeared outside her room around 10 o'clock.

However, after waiting for a long time, everyone did not notice any movement. Lin Xin watched the time in the video pass bit by bit, and then waited until the time in the video showed 11.30 when she saw the figures of the Cai brothers appearing in the video together.

"They appeared!" Yang Cong shouted.

Lin Xin gave an "um" and said, "Let's continue watching."

At this time, her face had turned serious, and her lips were tightly pressed.

After the two of them closed the door of the hotel room, there was no more movement.

After half an hour, the door of No. 1415 was opened from inside, and Cai Jiazhen's figure appeared again. He looked around the corridor a few times, and after making sure that there was no one in the corridor, he sneakily walked to the door of Peng Jingchun's room, and quickly knocked on the door three times.

Then, Peng Jingchun's room was quickly opened, and Cai Jiazhen went in and never came out again.

"Yang Cong, you can watch the video, I want to see when he came out." Lin Xin said in a deep voice.

After Yang Cong agreed, Yiyan watched the video. When he pulled it until 2 o'clock in the morning, he saw Cai Jiazhen walking out of Peng Jingchun's room and sneaking back into his room again.

Since then, it has never appeared again.

It was not until the next morning that Peng Jingchun and the Cai brothers left the hotel room one after another.

"So, Cai Jiazhen came to this classmate meeting in Yangshi to actually reminisce with Peng Jingchun, right?" Officer Wu turned his head and asked Lin Xin.

"It's not so much reminiscence of the past, as it is coveted by Peng Jingchun's beauty." Lin Xin said.

"Then what shall we do now?" Mei Hua, who was sitting aside, asked.

Lin Xin stood up from her chair and said sternly: "During high school, classmates all knew that Cai Jiazhen fell in love with Peng Jingchun very early, but I didn’t expect that after so many years, he still liked it. It’s just that this time I liked Peng Jingchun. Likes may be different. I don’t know what they said or did in Peng Jingchun’s guest room that night. So, I don’t know whether he killed Peng Jingchun or not. However, his actions that night were enough. Aroused my suspicion."

Lin Xin paused, and after slowly sweeping her eyes towards everyone, she said: "So, we have to fly back to Longshi to find them both, and then I will personally ask Cai Jiazhen whether he did it in Peng Jingchun's guest room that night. What happened."

"Sister Lin, what else can they do in the hotel room?" Yang Cong said.

Lin Xin smiled slightly and said, "Did you not find out? Why is Peng Jingchun's clothes after death the same as the clothes she wore when she came to the classmate's club? Didn't she change clothes in the past few days? We were in the woods this morning. When she was found, her body hadn't decayed, so it won't take a long time to die. So, what did she do in the past few days, and why didn't she even change her clothes?"

"Sister Lin, do you mean..." Yang Cong's eyes widened, and when he said this, he already knew what Lin Xin wanted to say next.

Lin Xin nodded and said, "She has bruises and traces of sexual assault, so I think the murderer and her should be acquainted, so I can have a chance to cheat her and then imprison her in one place. When he wanted to kill her, he took her to the woods and sexually assaulted and killed her again."

"But what's the matter with those high heels? Does Cai Jiazhen really have a soft spot for high heels?" Officer Wu expressed his doubts again.

"I don't know, that's why we have to fly back to Longshi to find out clearly." Lin Xin said firmly.
