Surprise Hotel

"How did you get locked into the room?"

"About yesterday evening, I received a note saying that they could provide a special medicine for my daughter's tuberculosis. They asked me to meet at the old tavern on Jiangbei Road." Worker Liu Zili looked sad, "My daughter is not sick. It’s been a day or two. If she can’t find medicine anymore, she may not last long. Someone suddenly said that she would give me medicine. This is a great man! I went without thinking about it. I was at 8 o’clock that night. When I arrived in front of the tavern, the door was open, but there was no light. I walked in with the courage, and then I was confused by someone covering my nose and mouth with a handkerchief.

"My experience is the same as his." Tan Xianghe said, "I also received the note."

Lu Xing looked at him up and down, "Did you owe a debt, someone said he would pay it for you?"

"How did you know?" Tan Xianghe was taken aback.

Lu Xing did not explain too much. This kind of obvious analysis is not difficult for him.

Tan Xiang and this age should not have married.No matter how you look at it, you are not wealthy, and you are just idle. If you have no debts, you will have a ghost.

The difficulty lies in who killed the victim.

Why did the murderer choose to stun the two of them and leave them on the scene? What's the point?

Moreover, the two men have not ruled out the suspicion of the murderer so far. It may be that the murderer is one of the two, and the other is lying.

It is not impossible that these two people are murderers.

If the two of them are the murderer or one of them is, how is the door locked?

Is there a fourth person involved, as an accomplice of one of them, locked the door?

"You, keep talking." Lu Xing pointed at Liu Zili.He feels that this simple-looking person is more credible.

"When I woke up again, I was locked in a small black room. It was dark and there was no light. There were three people in the room, besides us, there was a woman, the dead one. "Speaking of this, Liu Zili had a lingering fear. "The three of us felt cheated after talking, but we don’t know who shut us here. The door in the room was locked from the outside, and we didn’t push it open. No one responded. In order to prevent people from coming in and hurting us, the three of us discussed the door and bolted the door inside. I didn’t get too much of the drug, so I fell asleep in a daze, and the next day When I woke up, I found that woman was dead by my side!"

"The outside is locked, but the inside is locked. People inside can't get out, people outside can't get in..." Lu Xing murmured, touching his jaw, "Double-Secret Chamber Murder."

In a completely enclosed secret room, the murderer could not come in to kill, indicating that the murderer must be in the secret room at the time.

So apart from the two people in front of you, there can be no other people.

Looking at the blood-stained area of ​​the two opposing people, there is not much difference in size.

It shows that the woman was killed while sleeping in the middle of the two, and the possibility of both of them was the same.

Lu Xing was thinking with his head down, the agent came over and stood beside him and said a few words.

"Inspector, the identity of the deceased has been investigated."

"Who is it?"

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Xing's eyes.

"The dancer from Paramount."

A dancing girl, who is more likely to have conflicts with?

Lu Xing looked at Liu Zili and Tan Xianghe on the opposite side, "Who among you has had any grudges with her?"

However, the two of them replied in unison, "Not only with that woman, the three of us don't know each other at all!" Don't know?

This answer surprised Lu Xing.

If you really don't know him at all, it means there is no motive for killing.

There are only two suspects, and since neither of them admits that they killed someone, it is equivalent to identifying the other as the murderer.

Lu Xing felt that his head was big after receiving such a difficult task as an inspector for the first time.

"Double secret room, three people who don't know each other at all..."

He muttered a word, and got up in his uniform, intending to return to the scene of the crime.

However, when the door of the wine storage room was pushed open, the body was lifted off the scene by the autopsy staff.

He walked in and looked at the secret room again.

In the abandoned wine storage room, there is a rack for storing wine, besides, there are wine bottles piled up everywhere.The wine bottle that killed the dancer was still on the scene. As stated in the report, there was no fingerprint on it.

The detective found a handkerchief beside the wine rack with the smell of ether remaining on it.

Originally, only the lamp was left at the top of the room, and the bulb had long since disappeared. The lamp that was on at this moment was installed to facilitate the site survey.

The surrounding walls have been knocked on, and they are all solid.There are no windows in the whole room, and apart from the door, there is no other place to enter and exit, and no place to hide.

There was still a lock hanging outside the door, and strangely, the key was attached under the lock.

After Lu Xing strolled around, he became suspicious:

If the murderer is one of these two suspects, why choose to kill a stranger in such a place?

And, why draw on an unrelated bystander?

Besides, shouldn't he run away immediately after killing someone, why should he shut himself up here?

Moreover, if what the two said is true, all three of them were brought in when they were confused.

Even the three of them were still groggy and discussed how to prevent being assassinated, so they locked the inner door.

In this case, there will be a vacuum period in which all three people in the house are alive and preventive.

With the room locked, how did the people outside sneak into the secret room to complete the murder?

Even with the IQ of a high-achieving student like Lu Xing, facing this illogical case, there is no solution for the moment.

Journey shook his head helplessly, and had to let the agents under his staff carefully check the background and interpersonal relationships of workers Liu Zili, gangster Tan Xianghe, and dancer Xu Huizhen.

Then he thought of the female reporter who discovered the scene of the crime.

The confessions of eyewitnesses are also vital in a case.

Lu Xing's eyes lit up, and he whispered to the detectives beside him, "The two arguing outside will be detained first, and the witnesses will be called. I want to ask questions."

The advantage of being an inspector is that he has the right to mobilize all reasonable resources to find clues.

At the very least, the agents under him can all be able to support the existence of envoys back and forth.

"Miss Xia was guarding the door and wanted to take a few photos of the crime scene. She said that this is first-hand news and must grab an exclusive." The agent replied.

"No matter where you are, reporters really have occupational diseases." Lu Xing said helplessly, "Call her in."

"Yes."

The agent walked out and led the woman in after a while.

Lu Xing's gaze was attracted by the shadow, his mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were full of shock.

The woman is wearing a dress with a lapel collar, with fashionable little curly hair, her white skin is tinged with pink, her eyebrows are picturesque, her temperament is decent.

"Luo Xi..." He blurted out subconsciously.

This face was deeply imprinted in Lu Xing's memory.

It was deep enough to keep him stuck in love and hatred for her for the rest of his life.

Luo Xi is his wife's name.To be precise, it was his dead wife.

The last time I saw this face was at her funeral.At that time, her eyes closed tightly, her face pale and calm.

Lu Xing vaguely remembered the weather that day was not so good.

It was raining lightly outside, and it was raining heavily in his heart.

The woman who had been in love with him for eight years finally passed away and left him.

He had dreamed of her gentle smile countless times this year, and he wanted to reach out and touch it but it was fleeting.

Seeing the face of his deceased wife again, Lu Xing couldn't help but feel the waves surging.
