Chapter 1226

Because of the particularity of the case, different from the previous temporary copies, the scope of suspects cannot be reduced this time.

Even if several people in the hotel have murder motives and have the possibility of executing murder techniques, there are many guys with these possibilities in the town.

This is mainly because the hotel landlady's anti-theft system is very poor. Although the safety exit doors on both sides of the hotel are locked tightly, the guest rooms not far away are very easy to invade. Not only is there no anti-theft network installed, but there is no surveillance video to capture there.

The windows of the guest room are also simple sliding locks. This thing can be opened from the outside with a rope sleeve made of a fishing line. Therefore, even if the murder method is understood, the police can't lock the scope of the suspect.

For an Yizhi, he knows that the prisoners are among the temporary residents in the hotel, because the system won't waste so much effort to arrange the plot of these people, but this can't be explained to the NPC in the game, so he can only pretend to be confused.

It is also because it is impossible to rule out the possibility of outsiders sneaking into the crime, the police did not restrict the movement of several people in the hotel, but asked the local police to cooperate and not let these people run around.

In addition to being unable to narrow down the suspects, the police have not sent enough people.

The transport capacity of the helicopter is limited, and there are a lot of visits and investigations waiting for the police. The situation may be better only after the follow-up reinforcements arrive.

However, although the police did not restrict their movement, and the people who stayed in the hotel that night did not run around, an Yi pointed out that it didn't take much effort to find others to ask about 20 years ago.

The sons and daughters of the hostess don't know much about it. They only know that their father died in a mining accident twenty years ago, but they don't know much about others.

No wonder, twenty years ago, even the boss's son was only seven or eight years old, while the boss's daughter was only one or two years old and didn't remember anything at all.

It's the same thing to ask Irene. She was a little older than the other two people. She was only twelve or thirteen at that time, but because her father was also a survivor at that time, she knew more, which was roughly similar to what the landlady said.

So far, this clue hasn't shown anything suspicious, but an Yizhi doesn't intend to give up. Anyway, there are no other clues except this line. The police were idle before the investigation results of the mine accident 20 years ago were sent.

Moreover, compared with the three children at that time, the current bus driver and the then miner captain svidi are the ones who experienced it personally. Maybe he knows more.

Swidy is still in the hotel room. When an Yizhi and others found him, he was drinking muggy wine in the room. It may be that the death of the mayor brought a little stimulation.

"Mr. swidy, I want to ask you about the mine accident twenty years ago."

Too lazy to ink, Ann asked directly without any cover.

"Twenty years ago?"

Maybe he drank a little too much. Svidi's eyes were stunned. It took two seconds to react:

"What happened 20 years ago has anything to do with now?"

"Maybe, maybe I'm just curious to ask."

"Twenty years, it's been so long since I was careless."

Sweidi didn't ask whether it would matter if he was too deep. He poured himself another glass of wine and said:

"When the mine dried up, the town panicked for a while."

"Is it because the mayor is going to close the mine?"

"Well, the mines in our town belong to the state, and we have to turn in all the gems we dig. Everyone just takes a dead salary and intercepts some gems. As long as it's not too much, it's okay. Moreover, that guy is also good to us miners. We don't talk about enriching our own pockets."

The guy sverdy talks about is probably the mayor.

"But it's too much to close the mine. Ninety nine percent of the people in the town count on this to support their families. What do you eat when the mine is closed? So when the news of closing the mine came, some of our miners decided to hide some gems secretly after private discussion. If the mine is really going to be closed, these gems can at least let everyone go out and settle down again."

Hearing this, Jimmy said strangely:

"It's unlikely. Generally speaking, miners have little chance to have direct access to gem raw ore. in addition, there should be regulators sent by the government."

Swidy did drink a little too much. He waved carelessly and said:

"Other gem mines may be like this, but we can't use large-scale mechanical excavation here. Mining and excavation work depends on manpower. Anyway, the quality and quantity of diamonds produced are not high, and they are not big veins. As for the supervisors?"

He smiled and pointed to his head:

"I was the supervisor at that time."

If he hadn't drunk too much, it's estimated that he wouldn't be so happy to admit that he was in prison in front of the police.

"I still remember the day when the accident happened. That day happened to be the day when the mine was declared closed. We miners with our own small abacus had already prepared some original gem minerals in the mine and sneaked into the mine to take them away in the dead of night."

Sweidi took another gulp of wine, and this time he simply didn't use the cup and blew directly into the bottle:

"But we didn't expect that a guy wanted to eat it alone. I've known that guy for more than 20 years. I didn't expect that he should be so cruel."

"Is that man... The boss's wife's husband?"

Sweidi nodded, then leaned back against the back of the sofa and said:

"At the beginning, I thought he was joking. He often joked that people confuse the false with the true, but when we saw him take out the detonator, we knew he was serious. After all, our mine can't use explosives because of the geological structure..."

"And then?"

"Then? Then the bastard really lit the explosives, blew up the tunnel, and ran away with our diamond. Hey, it's just a bad reward. The collapse caused by the explosives blocked the entrance of the mine and buried everyone, including the guy. When the rescue arrived later, it was us who were robbed of diamonds who survived , the guy's body is still in the mine. The rescue didn't find him at all. "

"Won't he run away by himself?"

"It's impossible. The traffic at that time was more inconvenient than now. There was no sign that the cars in the town had moved. If you left the town on foot, you would die. The police also wanted him. Later, the research results of rescue workers and many experts showed that he was still in the mine and buried forever."

Jimmy chimed in:

"This... Seems different from what the landlady said."

"It must be different, because what the landlady knows is all lies made up by us."

Svidi said:

"After the police and rescue workers showed the investigation results to us survivors, we discussed it and felt that we would not make the truth of the matter public."

"Why?"

Anyi zhisi cableway:

"It's because of the landlady."

"Ha, that's right. It doesn't matter whether that guy dies or not, but what do you think of the landlady left in the town? If you lose her husband, you can't stay in the town. How will a little widow live with two children in the future?"

Svidi patted his chest and said:

"A man says one is one. Her husband doesn't pay attention to things, but he can't implicate her and his family. That's what a man is."

I can't see that sweidi is very righteous. After all, the boss's husband almost buried him in the mine.

"Although these things haven't spread in the town, you with official background can know all the process as long as you go back and look through the archives of that year. I'm too lazy to hide it from you, although I don't think it's of any use..."

With that, swedy leaned back on the sofa and seemed to be asleep.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Sweidi's story is different from that of the landlady, but as he said, he can know by turning over the files at that time and expose it as long as the news from the police comes, so he doesn't have to lie.

But after all, it does not help the current murder.

The modus operandi of this case is not very clever, but the murderer did too clean, which led to a lot of trouble.

If you can't find more information along this line 20 years ago, you can only rely on conventional case solving methods.

That is, the body, the first crime scene and the murder weapon.

The first two have not found anything, and the greatest hope of solving the case lies in the murder weapon.

When an Yi pointed out that they asked about 20 years ago, other police searched the hotel and found no trace of the murder weapon.

A bowling ball stained with blood. It should have been put in a plastic bag and taken away by the murderer. There is no bowling alley in town. If you don't do so, it will be very conspicuous.

The question of where the murder weapon is is crucial.

Turning his attention to the murder weapon again, an Yizhi watched the hotel video again, and then remembered one thing.

Since the surveillance of this hotel is too fucking, did the surveillance of other hotels nearby catch anything?

But no.

The police also thought of this. They did not need to say much at all. They sent people to the nearby hotel to investigate videos, but what they still did not find.

"Does the murderer really know so much about the surveillance nearby? Why can't you see the shadow of the murderer at all."

Jimmy complained, and Mizushima immediately said:

"No matter how you understand it, you can't escape all the monitoring, especially outdoor monitoring. Since there are no suspicious people on the monitoring, you can roughly narrow the scope of the suspect to hotel street."

"That's what I say, but there are too many suspects in the whole street..."

It's really a lot less to narrow from a small town to a street, but although this hotel street is in the off-season, there are hundreds of people who may start, which is too difficult to check one by one.

An Yizhi suddenly realized that there was no suspicious person carrying a heavy plastic bag on the monitoring, but it was a very important clue.

His mind flashed and he said:

"Since there is no trace of the murderer on the surveillance and the whereabouts of the murder weapon have been found in the hotel, where do you think the murder weapon is now?"

Jimmy was stunned and said strangely:

"Ah? It's because I can't think of where I'm worried."

"No, there's another place we haven't seen, and if we hide the murder weapon there, we won't go through the monitoring in front of the hotel."

Ann pointed in the direction behind her.

Outside the hotel, an Yi pointed in the right direction

——Mine.
