The condition of the deceased is obvious. He was killed by the murderer while taking a shower. Judging from the direction and posture of the deceased lying on the ground, common sense suggests that the deceased was washing his hair at the time and his head was full of foam. Most people were at this time.

, with your back to the shower head to prevent the water from washing away the shampoo on your head in advance.

This means that the deceased was facing the murderer with his eyes closed because he was washing his hair, allowing the murderer to easily aim at his vital points and achieve the effect of killing him with one blow.

If so, the case becomes simpler.

Because this is a staff dormitory, no outsiders will come in easily, and they can enter and leave the bathroom at will. Most likely it is an acquaintance who commits the crime.

At this moment, a police officer came over and said: "Captain Liang, there are complete surveillance cameras everywhere around us. There is one just outside the bathroom door. There are surveillance cameras downstairs, in the community, and on the road.

We are gathering information."

"Okay!" Liu Jianfeng shouted in the car. In this era of dense eyes, all crimes have no way to hide.

If a suspicious person is found during surveillance, he will definitely be locked. If not, it means the murderer is still in the dormitory!

Liu Jianfeng became excited, maybe he could catch someone alive this time.

With the complete monitoring system, the help was too great. Liang Mengzhu immediately turned around and went out. The bathroom was at the end of the corridor, and there was a running camera at the corner of the wall above his head. From this position, he could take pictures of the entire corridor.

"Find this surveillance video immediately." Liang Mengzhu immediately ordered.

At the same time, other people are also being asked for their confessions. The dormitory is divided into two large rooms, with men on the left and women on the right. On the left are the chefs of the barbecue restaurant, a total of nine people, and on the right are naturally the female waiters, a total of eleven people.

It's just that the chefs in the hotel get off work earlier than the waiters. Except for one chef who has to be on duty and is uncertain about the time when he gets off work, everyone else gets off work at nine o'clock. The waiters have to wait until all the diners have left before they get off work, and barbecues are not available during this season.

It's peak season, so no one is off work.

As for the only bathroom rule, men can take a bath before ten o'clock, and women can take a bath after ten o'clock.

It's not easy to be a worker.

But this has locked the approximate time of the crime for Liang Mengzhu. It must have been after nine o'clock, and it was only half an hour from now. Even if the murderer was not an outsider, he would not be able to run far, and it was entirely possible to catch him directly.

However, when Liang Mengzhu and Liu Jianfeng saw this most intuitive surveillance, they were confused.

The surveillance camera was set up above the head of the bathroom to clearly capture the situation at that time.

Several chefs came back from get off work around 9:05, including the deceased. They returned to the dormitory first, and then went to the bathroom one by one. After smoking all day around the pot, they naturally wanted to take a shower to cool off first.

Four people walked into the bathroom one after another. The deceased was the second one, one person in front and two people behind him, basically the front and back feet.

Moreover, these four people have one thing in common, that is, they are all shirtless, wearing only a pair of underpants, and a towel on their shoulders. They simply walked into the bathroom without anything else. It is a typical man's simplicity.

happy.

Then, they simply rinsed. The fastest was two or three minutes, and the slowest was only about five minutes. The three people came out. Only the deceased did not come out. However, the three people behaved very calmly, indicating that the deceased was still alive at that time.

alive.

Either the last person to leave was the murderer, and then he stayed at the end with the deceased, killed the deceased, and left pretending to be nonchalant.

Five minutes later, another chef came back. He also went to the dormitory first and took off his clothes. He was shirtless and wearing pants, and went to the bathroom with a towel. As soon as he entered, he ran out and stomped in the corridor.

Shouting on his feet, he obviously found the body of the deceased and was frightened and panicked.

Everyone gathered around, and after seeing the deceased, they were all frightened. Some people immediately made a call. This can be proved by the call records of the command center. The time was exactly 9:13 in the surveillance screen.

At nine-twenty, police officers from the local police station arrived at the scene. In a serious life case, no time should be wasted.

After it was confirmed that the deceased was dead, everyone was controlled in the dormitory, which showed that the murderer was among these people, or even smaller, the three people who initially entered the bathroom with the deceased.

But here comes the problem.

How did the murderer kill the deceased?

After the forensic on-site inspection that came with the team, information came in. It was initially concluded that the deceased died with a sharp weapon. The shape of the wound should be that of a knife that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The wound was very deep and the heart was almost pierced, indicating that the murder weapon was at least

Knives longer than 20 centimeters.

However, the surveillance clearly recorded the situation at that time. After work, several rough men took off their clothes and went to take a shower. They were shirtless and wearing underpants. Two of them were still wearing triangle pants, and the other two were

Even if it is a flat-angled one, it will definitely not be able to hide a sharp knife over twenty centimeters!

Surveillance video can confirm this, very clearly.

Another possibility is that the murderer hid the murder weapon in the bathroom in advance.

but……

Nowadays, surveillance video has become a key aid in solving crimes, and many people have even become dependent on it. So, the video display is so clear, there is absolutely no way for those three people to hide their weapons when they come, and they can see it when they leave.

Understand, there are absolutely no knives over twenty centimeters.

But no matter what, these three people have been identified as important suspects, especially the last person to leave, and the first person to find the body. He is also suspected. It cannot be ruled out that he pretended to find the body after killing him.

Corpse, panicked thief shouting catch thief.

If the deceased's heart is punctured, pericardial tamponade and hemorrhagic shock will quickly occur, leading to death in an instant.

The forensic doctor also confirmed this, but the specific situation still requires detailed autopsy.

Liang Mengzhu returned to the scene of the crime and carefully looked at the direction in which the deceased fell and the surrounding environment. His heart had suffered a penetrating injury. There must have been blood spattering immediately, but the surrounding ground and walls were clean.

.

Although the shower head on the head was on and spraying water, the scope of flushing was limited, and the deceased was lying on the ground with his back to the shower head and facing outside the partition. With the blood pressure, the blood was likely to spray onto the wall outside.

That's a place that the shower head can't clean.

This is very strange. Did the murderer take advantage of the rain at the scene to clean up quickly after committing the crime?

Then the killer's psychological quality was too good. Liang Mengzhu immediately said to his police officers: "Inspect the scene in detail, use imaging technology to check whether there are any cleaned blood stains of the deceased on the surrounding walls."

This is very important. If it is shown that the deceased has blood spatter, more information can be inferred based on the traces. In addition, the deceased's death posture and wounds indicate that the murderer was facing the deceased and the heart was pierced.

A large amount of blood spurted out. If there were blood stains on the wall, then the murderer must have been splashed with blood.

Take advantage of the short time now

, the suspects are all under control. If blood spatters are found on the wall, we can legitimately investigate several suspects. If there are blood stains on their bodies, this is conclusive evidence.

The police officers immediately got busy. At the same time, the owner of the barbecue restaurant downstairs also came up and accepted a simple inquiry. The deceased was their new employee. He had just arrived for less than two months. He was mainly responsible for cutting meat. He had a cheerful personality.

I get along well with everyone, and I definitely don’t have any grudge against anyone.

Liang Mengzhu did not continue to ask these questions. After all, the video surveillance captured the situation clearly, and the suspect was here.

The most important thing now is the murder weapon, what kind of murder weapon the murderer brought in.

So she asked the shop owner: "Does your hotel have all the knives?"

"Yes, yes!" the boss said immediately: "Because our restaurant mainly specializes in barbecue, which is the best fresh meat and needs to be processed and cut on site. Therefore, for the sake of food safety, our chefs use special steel imported from Germany.

Knives are expensive, so they are all available."

"Take me to have a look." Liang Mengzhu said immediately.

There was only one floor between upstairs and downstairs, so he came down very quickly, but when he entered the door, Liang Mengzhu discovered that Liu Jianfeng was already in the hall.

A murder occurred upstairs, which has scared away all the diners. However, the staff dormitory upstairs is now under investigation. These waiters have nowhere to go and can only stay in the hotel. Liu Jianfeng, wearing sunglasses and holding a cigarette, shouted when he entered the door:

"Open your mouth to me with good wine and good meat!"

Everyone was a little confused, not to mention that there was a murder upstairs, but at this time, it was already off work, otherwise the chefs would not have gone back, and there would be no murder.

But this old man seemed to have money to spend. Liang Mengzhu glanced at him and knew that Liu Jianfeng was here to help her. He had poor time and space information.

Although she has decided not to rely on outside help to solve the case, it is still nice to have Liu Jianfeng around at critical moments.

The surveillance video upstairs is the best proof. It clearly captures the location of the crime and the relevant people. At the very least, it can prove that it has nothing to do with this hotel.

So Liang Mengzhu immediately said to the hotel owner next to him: "This is not the scene of the crime. The relevant people are also upstairs. There is no need to affect the business."

The boss was overjoyed when he heard this. What he was most worried about was that after the accident, his store would have to temporarily close down to cooperate with the investigation. Even for a few days, it would be a big loss. Now that Liang Mengzhu said this, he was naturally filled with joy and called the waiter: "

Didn’t you hear me? Please treat this gentleman well, it’s considered overtime!”

The last three words immediately made the waiters move. Although there is no chef, it doesn't matter for this kind of barbecue restaurant. The chef's main job is only to marinate the meat. The most valuable thing is their exclusive seasoning.

In the case of stock, it doesn't matter if there is no chef. The waiter lit the charcoal fire, and the waiters shuttled around to serve the dishes, and some helped with the barbecue. Liu Jianfeng started eating deliciously immediately.

Liang Mengzhu and the owner of the store walked into the back kitchen. They did a good job of brightening the kitchen and lighting the stove. The kitchen was also clean and tidy, especially the props, which were hung on the wall neatly, such as meat cleavers and choppers.

Meat knives, bone crushing knives, deboning knives and other styles are all available, imported special steel.

In addition to the ones hanging on the wall, there is also a spare set locked in the cabinet. The two sets are of the same quantity and are definitely not missing.

In this case, it may be that the murderer prepared the murder weapon from outside, which means that the crime was not committed in passion, but premeditated.
Chapter completed!
