Surprise Hotel

Chapter 4 Xia Nuo

"Inspector, my name is Xia Nuo."

The female reporter who had just reported her home quickly noticed Lu Xing's eyes and an impatient look on her face, "Have you never seen a beautiful woman? Or is there clues written on my face?"

Maybe it was a bit tired of being stared at, Xia Nuo spoke acrimoniously.

This tone made Lu Xing realize that he had admitted the wrong person.

He couldn't help laughing at himself.

When I watched my wife's burial with my own eyes, how could the living woman in front of me be her?

"You are the first witness, and I want to hear your description of the incident."

Lu Xing tried his best to speak in a kind tone.

Xia Nuo stood beside him and asked in a low voice, "Can I take a few more live photos?"

Lu Xing looked down at the camera she was holding, and smiled, "You are the first person to arrive at the scene. You have enough time after calling the police. If there is no accident, your camera should already be saved. Have a lot of negatives of live photos?"

"I am a journalist. Of course, the more information, the better."

Xia Nuo raised his eyebrows.

"Ha ha."

Lu Xing grabbed the camera and pulled out the film inside.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Xianuo was unhappy.

"Before the case becomes clear, no information about the case shall be disclosed." Lu Xing has watched many detective film and television dramas and vaguely remembers that there seems to be such a rule.

"You..." Xianuo was speechless.

Lu Xing returned the camera to her and pointed to the side seat, "Now, let's talk about what you saw."

Xia Nuo sat down reluctantly and spoke slowly:

"My home lives nearby. I passed by here this morning when I went to work and found that the tavern that had been closed for many years suddenly opened. I stood in front of the door curiously and looked at it. I didn't see the owner at the time, but I could vaguely hear from the tavern. The sound of knocking and calling for help. I followed the sound and found someone trapped in the wine storage room."

"How did you open the door?"

Lu Xing turned the Parker pen in his hand, and the record in front of him was blank.

"The key was left in the keyhole. I thought it was a prank at the time, but after the door was opened, two men covered in blood came out and there was a corpse in the room! I was terrified and turned and rushed into the street. Fortunately, I met the detective who was changing shifts in the patrol room.

"and many more!"

Lu Xing stopped his movements, "Are you familiar with the owner of this store?"

"Old neighbor."

"Oh? Do you know where he went?"

"I went back to my hometown to visit relatives two years ago and never came back. It is said that I died of an infectious disease in my hometown, and this tavern was abandoned because of this and it has been closed until now."

"It turned out to be so."

Lu Xing took off his pen cap slowly and drew two random strokes on the paper.

The detectives beside them all looked at each other when they saw the scattered words on the paper.

This is the first time I have seen the transcript.

Fortunately, they have a dedicated recorder, after all, they would not really expect the new inspector to write the transcript himself.

"Inspector, do you have anything else you want to ask? If not, I will rush to report back to the agency to write the manuscript."

Xianuo asked.

"There is one last question." Lu Xing said.

"please say."

"Is there anything delicious in this city?"

As soon as he said this, people around him were dumbfounded.

The other agents couldn't help whispering.

Even thinking of picking up girls during office hours, this new inspector is really a "mudslide."

Xia Nuo's eyes flowed and smiled slightly, "If the inspector wants to invite me to dinner, it's not necessary. I already have a family."

"You are misunderstood. I am a newcomer, so I plan to taste the local characteristics, but I don't know what to eat."

Lu Xing spread his hands and said lightly.

He is not a glutton, but when he was in the hotel, he was in a bad mood, so he didn't eat, and he is still hungry.

When a person is hungry, the mind is not bright.

Ten thousand steps back, if he can't detect this double-secret murder case, he will be trapped in this world for a long time.

It is better to be psychologically prepared first, and then settle down.

Xia Nuo picked up his pen with disdain, and wrote a menu in the blank space on the next page of the transcript.

"The raw fry, old duck soup, and hot pot in Chunhua Building are all good. If you want to eat some foreign things, you can go to a western restaurant in the concession."

"Thank you."

Lu Xing tore down the menu and put it in his pocket.

Xia Nuo got up and didn't forget to mention something that was taken away before leaving, "If the case is over, I hope the inspector can return the paper to me. Those photos are important material."

"No problem." Lu Xing nodded. "At the same time, I also hope that Miss Xia will stay in Germany and not cause us trouble."

The two looked at each other, each with a deep meaning in their eyes.

After Xia Nuo Lian left in a hurry, Lu Xing beckoned to the people around him.

"Go check the details of the owner of this tavern and see if there is an enemy. Since the murderer chose to commit the crime here, he must have his reason."

"Yes."

The agent had just walked two steps, and was suddenly called back by Lu Xing.

"and many more."

"What else does the inspector give?"

"By the way, check the female reporter's family background, how many people in the family, what does her husband do, and emotional state."

"Huh?" The agent looked a little embarrassed, and his expression was full of puzzlement, "Don't you...are you really interesting to her?"

"She is the first witness, and relevant personnel involved in the case must verify." Lu Xing's eyes widened, "Hurry up!"

"okay!"

The agent ran away dingy.

I heard that there was a murder in the tavern, and more and more people were watching the lively in the street.

The patrol room has a cordon in front of the door to prevent others from approaching.

Sitting in the hall, Lu Xing looked at the open door of the wine storage room, his thoughts fell into chaos.

Intuition told him that workers Liu Zili and Tan Xianghe were not the murderers of the dancer Xu Huizhen.

During the interrogation of the two, he observed the two with micro-expressions, and it was not like lying. The clue that "the three did not know" was most likely to be true.

If the motivation is missing, then it can only be passionate killing.

But the location where the crime occurred was remote, and the murderer also stunned the party with drugs, indicating that this was a plan designed in advance.

Passionate killing is also ruled out.

Everything in the room was checked, except for the door, there was no way to go in or out.

The walls are solid, and the doors are locked inside and out. People inside cannot get out and people outside cannot get in.

In this environment, how did the murderer accomplish the murder?

No clue at all.

In this way, the whole case became an unsolvable mystery.

"Which link is missing?"

Lu Xing paced in the hall.

Because of the large number of people involved, the dusty ground in the pub had long been trampled and filthy, and there were traces of drag.

In this case, even if there are traces of the suspect, it is impossible to keep them.

The first question in the open book is an additional question, even for a high-IQ player like him, it is somewhat powerless.

Without a clue, he suddenly thought of the most classic way.

"Call those two people back, I want to review the crime scene!"
