Chapter 1223

As long as the murderer is a person, he can't do anything beyond his manpower.

As previously guessed, step on the footprints of the victim, kill him with a blunt weapon from behind, and then go back the same way

——It's not an assassin's Creed.

Besides, an Yizhi also saw the footprints of the victim, and there was no trace of repeated trampling.

The victim came here by himself and was killed by the killer by means unknown until the body was found in the morning.

Anyway, why did the town grow up in the middle of the night and run here in a bathrobe?

"Look there, Mr. Mayor, there seems to be a piece of paper under his chest."

Hearing Shuidao Mengzi's hint, an raised the body gently with a finger. There was indeed a piece of paper there.

The paper is A4 size. Some things are written on it in printed font, but most of them are polluted by dried blood. I can't see what's written.

He turned the paper around and aimed it at the sun.

In this way, the original illegible handwriting can be read more or less. The reason is similar to the effect of doctors looking at X-rays in hospitals.

"What does it say?"

After a few glances, an pointed and said:

"It's basically about the mayor, such as how he bribed city officials to build a highway for the town, or how he filled his pocket when the mine still produced gemstones."

"So the mayor got up in the middle of the night and came here to find this paper?"

"Well, I think it's right. It's likely that the murderer used this handle to ask the mayor to come here. It's estimated that he did something like trade, but the mayor didn't expect that he came here quietly to wait for death."

The body was opened by an. In addition to the paper, he could see an abnormally protruding snow pile under him, which was obviously different from the surrounding snow.

This may be a clue or maybe.

While thinking about how to start, an Yizhi heard a noise from the propeller.

After seeing a helicopter with the words "police" flying quickly and landing in the small square opposite the hotel, a group of policemen jumped out of the helicopter with boxes that may contain identification tools.

Although the police in this world are very unreliable, they should be praised for their speed, because it is difficult to walk on the mountain road closed by heavy snow. It is really awesome to use helicopters directly.

But

Ann first saw the first young officer who came down from the helicopter and make complaints about the same golden hair with two ha.

——Is this the only police in this country?

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The policeman in charge of handling the case at the scene was Jimmy, and the other party was stunned when he saw an Yizhi.

Jimmy said that he was rewarded by the above for his previous cases (all related to an Yizhi). This time, he was temporarily transferred to a nearby city to give a speech. When he heard the news of a murder, he immediately followed the team.

Whatever the reason, at least one acquaintance is in the police. It will be much easier for an Yizhi to investigate.

Now the police's professional forensic personnel are working on the body, and the people staying in the hotel are also being questioned by the police.

On the speed of investigation, it is much faster and more professional than an Yizhi.

Now Ann Yizhi, Mizushima Mengzi and Jimmy are sitting on the sofa in the front hall of the hotel.

As mentioned before, although the detection of cases mainly depends on detectives, the ability of the police in the world in investigation is really admirable. After Jimmy explained a little why he came here, the police sent a preliminary investigation result.

"The time of death of the victim is presumed to be about 1:00 to 3:00 in the morning. The cause of death is that the back of the brain was hit by a strong blunt weapon. Judging from the type of wound, the murder weapon is a spherical object with a diameter of about 15 to 20 cm. According to your description and the on-site photos provided by Mr. an, no footprints of the murderer were found."

Jimmy said with a headache:

"How did the killer kill without footprints?"

"I have a guess about this..."

Before an Yizhi finished, he saw the landlady coming out of the temporarily requisitioned room next door accompanied by the police. An Yizhi put aside the topic he had intended to say and asked:

"Landlady, I want to ask if the surveillance camera was running last night?"

The landlady seemed a little confused. Seeing the body with her own eyes was very scary, and she was interrogated by the police. It's understandable.

She reacted slowly and then said:

"Yes, the video of our hotel is automatically cleaned every half a month. Last night's should still be kept."

"By the way, I just wanted to say that."

Jimmy Road:

"If there is a camera, you should be able to see the prisoners or victims. It would be better if you could capture the scene of the crime."

In modern society, surveillance cameras can often play a key role in solving cases. The popularity of this thing has greatly affected the difficulty of solving cases and the judgment of accident disputes.

But the problem is that the killer must also know the camera. Since he dares to kill, he must be vigilant about it. It's hard to say how much information he can see.

An Yizhi wants to see the camera. He mainly wants to determine who the prisoner is. Even if he is on guard, he can find some clues.

After all, this entrustment is only a part of the temporary copies of ordinary difficulty, which is not too difficult. It can even be said that the difficulty of puzzle solving reasoning is far lower than many temporary copies encountered before.

Then the landlady opened the computer folder where the video was stored and asked an Yizhi to watch it with the police.

Because the time of death is speculated to be 1:00 to 3:00 in the morning, the video recording during this period is the top priority.

During business hours, the lights in the hotel corridor are on 24 hours, but now there is no one to live except an Yizhi, and the lights in the corridor on the first floor have been turned off at night, which makes the video somewhat unclear. However, if a big living man appears in the corridor, he can see it.

With the fast forward of the video, the time displayed in the lower left corner soon comes to the inferred time point.

The figure of the victim and the mayor also appeared in the picture. The time was 1:52 a.m.

Then I saw him go through the camera at the front door, under the light of the street lamp, go outside the hotel and walk to the left.

"The exact time of the victim's murder is estimated to be at this time. Can you see the camera at the crime scene?"

The landlady shook her head:

"There is only indoor monitoring over there. I'm afraid I can't see outside..."

"It doesn't matter. Try it. If you can see something, it can become the key to solve the case."

Since the police insist, the landlady has no reason to refuse. Besides, she hopes to catch the murderer more than others. After all, this is a murder in her hotel. If it is not settled smoothly, once it is spread, there will be no way to do business in the future.

Then she called out that there was a wall from the crime scene. In the indoor monitoring, she could see a part of the mayor's body from the edge of the picture. The time was 1:57 a.m. when the mayor was still alive.

With the passage of the time in the video, at about 2:00 a.m., a dark shadow suddenly crossed the window, and the mayor's body fell to the ground.

And the most important thing is, what is the dark shadow? I didn't shoot it at all, nor did I shoot any trace of the murderer.

The hotel cameras are of the older type. The field of view of the camera is not only narrow, but also can not rotate. The only advantage is that the definition is OK, but no matter how high the definition is, it is useless and no useful clues are taken.

Jimmy looked a little disappointed, but Ann pointed and said:

"Landlady, where are the keys to the second and third floors?"

The landlady didn't expect an Yizhi to ask this, but she replied:

"They are usually hung on the wall over the kitchen, but they are rarely used. Only in this off-season will we lock the doors leading to the second and third floors."

"Who knows the location of the key except you?"

"Probably all know. It's not a very important key."

"In other words, does anyone have a chance to get the key to open the doors on the second and third floors..."

Jimmy was confused by Ann's question:

"Mr. ANN, did you find anything?"

"I've figured out how the prisoner killed people. The problem is that it's more troublesome to narrow the scope of the killer."

It's not forced, because the technique used in this case is not difficult. The problem is to find out who the murderer is. I'm afraid more clues are needed.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Because the surveillance video may have a very clear connection with the case, it was loaded into a USB flash disk and taken away as evidence by the police. An Yizhi also asked the police who came with Jimmy to watch the video again, especially to see whether someone passed at the entrance to the second and third floors.

However, I'm afraid there will be no evidence against the murderer on the video.

After all, there are only six surveillance cameras on the first floor, including the one facing the door, and there is only one camera that can see the stairs to the second and third floors.

The structure of the hotel is roughly that the elevator is in the center, that is, behind the front hall. There are emergency exits and stairs at the ends of the corridors on the left and right sides. However, only the stairs on the right can be seen by the camera, while the stairs on the left are completely invisible.

If an Yizhi guessed right, the murderer must have implemented the murder plan upstairs, and he must have deliberately avoided the camera upstairs, so it's hard to say how many clues can be left on the surveillance video. He left such a troublesome and patient thing to the police.

However, it is certain that the guy who can do this must be familiar with the hotel, otherwise he can't avoid the camera so perfectly.

In other words, the murderer of the mayor was among the few people who spent the night in the hotel.

Needless to say, the landlady and her children must be very familiar when they grew up in a hotel.

Irene and the truck driver sverdy also visited the hotel. If you want to know the location of the camera and make a murder plan, it's not difficult.

The motive for the murder, which requires the end of the police interrogation and more visits and investigations. What an Yizhi needs to do now is to go upstairs and confirm whether his guess is correct.
