Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Murder
Monday, sunny.
In places like Songhai, morning rush hour travel is always a headache. Whether it is elevated or ground, the crowded road conditions make people's blood pressure soar.
Ordinary office workers take the subway, which does not have the trouble of traffic jams, but they have to endure the test of being sandwiched on all sides.
In the morning sunshine, Zhang Yuanqing, carrying a backpack, rode a shared bicycle on the bustling streets of Songhai, biting a pancake in his mouth.
He easily surpassed one private car, commercial vehicle and bus after another, and the youthful vigor flew with his bangs.
Songhai University is five or six kilometers away from his grandmother's house, and it only takes 15 minutes to ride a bicycle, so he usually does not live on campus.
Because he was promoted to the Night Wanderer, he rode a bicycle that was particularly tiring on weekdays, but he rushed to the university gate in one breath. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it only took ten minutes.
If there were not too many battery-powered bicycles on the bicycle lane, he could be faster.
Songhai University was founded in the early 20th century, 120 years ago, and is one of the top universities in the country.
In addition to high-quality faculty resources, the two biggest features of Songhai University are: famous flowers are good at finding good owners, and warriors dare to fencing.
My grandmother used to warn my aunt that girls should know how to protect themselves in school. When she got older, she had to warn her grandson, boys, to protect themselves in school.
My grandmother was very dissatisfied with this world.
After entering the school gate and crossing the main axis with the statue of the founder, he rode slowly towards the teaching building along the road on the right side planted with sycamore trees.
The environment in the college is elegant and quiet. Students either take short videos or sit on benches on the roadside to chat, or rush to class with textbooks.
The spacious and clean streets, green lawns, and old dormitory buildings, at a glance, are more like a quiet high-end community, and the feeling of school is not heavy.
Zhang Yuanqing parked his bicycle outside the building, carried his schoolbag, and entered the comprehensive building.
Arriving at the trapezoidal classroom, Zhang Yuanqing took a quick look. Students were scattered in twos and threes, and many students skipped classes.
He picked a seat at random. As soon as he sat down, he heard two boys behind him whispering:
"I just saw Xu Yingying at the school gate. She is waiting for her sponsor again."
"Nonsense, how could my goddess be kept."
"Really, there are men who come to pick her up every Monday. They drive luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands. I saw it last Monday."
"Did you see it clearly? Maybe it was an online car-hailing car."
"Would you kiss an online car-hailing driver?"
"... Damn it, when I was in middle school, girls liked academic masters. When I went to college, girls liked rich men outside. When will ordinary boys stand up?"
Xu Yingying is a girl in the same class. She is very beautiful and is their class flower.
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but look back and joked with a smile: "The wife in the hard drive can help you stand up."
The two boys seemed to be surprised that Zhang Yuanqing would interrupt and were stunned for a moment.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at them and said, "What's wrong?"
The male classmate named Li Lesheng laughed, "Zhang Yuanqing, what good thing happened to you today? This is not like you."
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, "Why do you say that?"
Li Lesheng was about to speak when the teacher with black-framed glasses came in with a book in his arms, and the chattering classroom immediately became quiet.
.......
Kangyang District, Maile Hotel.
"Ding!"
On the 16th floor, the elevator door opened, and Li Dongze, who was dressed in a formal suit with a black vest and a white shirt, walked out of the elevator with a cane.
His thin face was full of solemnity, followed by Guan Ya.
The guests on the entire floor were cleared, and a cordon was set up at the intersection leading to the corridor from the elevator. Two security guards were standing by the cordon.
Guan Ya stepped forward in high heels, took out her ID and gestured.
The security guard immediately made way.
On the way to the room in the corridor, several uniformed security guards were busy, taking photos or collecting fingerprints, hair and other things.
Li Dongze passed by everyone and entered the hotel room, and immediately smelled a bloody smell.
He glanced at the hotel suite, where two bodies covered with white cloth lay on the bed, and the white sheets were stained with large patches of dark red blood.
Li Dongze stretched out his cane and uncovered the white cloth. A man and a woman were lying naked on the bed.
He was silent for a moment, and his voice was low: "It was indeed Zhao Yingjun."
Guan Yaze carefully checked every corner of the room, and wisps of white mist overflowed from her pupils. After a while, she said:
"There are no signs of fighting in the room, no signs of human treatment... There are only two condoms in the trash can, but there are three condoms missing in the box..."
After that, she looked at the female victim with some pity.
Li Dongze covered the white cloth again and said in a deep voice:
"Guan Ya, you stay here to assist the security guards in collecting fingerprints and hair, and retrieve surveillance videos. I need to contact Captain Fu and the captains, and I may need to go to a meeting."
Guan Ya nodded slightly: "I will synchronize the details of the scene and the character information to your mobile phone later."
Zhao Yingjun is a consultant of the Xiangshui Road Security Bureau, a member of the White Tiger Army, and a Level 2 Scout.
A member of the Five Elements Alliance was killed, which is a big event.
........
A small conference room on the second floor of the villa.
The conference room is decorated very exquisitely and luxuriously, with soft wool carpets on the floor and a long solid wood conference table in the middle.
On the table are exquisite fruit platters, crystal clear ham slices, expensive imported red wine, boxes of cigars, and exquisite desserts.
At the end of the conference table, a white projection screen is hung, playing a surveillance video of the hotel.
In the video, a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask walked from the elevator entrance to the door of the guest room, took out the room card, opened the door, and entered the room.
40 minutes later, the man walked out of the room, put his hands in his pockets, and left with his head down.
At the end of the video, Li Dongze pressed the pause button, looked at the captains at the table, and said:
"This morning, the hotel called the police. When the waiter was cleaning the room, he couldn't knock on the door, so he went in to check and found that the two had been killed. Zhao Yingjun was abused before his death. His body was covered with knife wounds, and his hands and feet had traces of being tied, but the fatal injury was that the heart was pierced by a sharp weapon.
"The female victim was named Liu Xiao'e. She was also pierced through the heart by a sharp weapon, but she was not abused. Based on the missing condoms at the scene, we suspect that she was insulted by the murderer before her death.
"In addition, the Public Security Bureau checked the mobile phones of the two people and confirmed that Liu Xiao'e was Zhao Yingjun's mistress.
"We retrieved the surveillance of other entrances and exits of the hotel, and did not find how the murderer left. He should have special means to avoid surveillance. Initial speculation is that the murderer is a spiritual traveler. "
There were six people sitting at the table.
The chief was a young man in a white suit, with the arrogance and nobility of a young man from an aristocratic family, with a handsome short ponytail, and his facial lines were like sculptures, so handsome that he could not be looked at directly.
The first seat on the left was empty, which was Li Dongze's seat.
On the right was a woman holding an orange cat, wearing a cheongsam with ink painting, showing the plumpness and charm of a mature woman. Her well-maintained beautiful face was tight and white, with light makeup, and her temperament was quiet and elegant.
Next to her was a middle-aged man wearing a miner's hat and a work suit, and his dark skin showed the vicissitudes of the worker.
Opposite her was a gym coach in a tight suit, with thick arms comparable to the woman's thin waist, sharp eyebrows, and a sense of irritability when he looked around.
The last person was a woman in her twenties, wearing a white racing suit, tight leather pants, black wavy curly hair, and a melon-seed face, and she was both cool and handsome.
These five are the captains of the Kangyang District Spiritual Realm Walker Team, and several others were absent for various reasons.
The young man in a white suit looked around, his dark brown eyes calmly, and said lightly:
"Everyone, what do you think... Captain Qingteng, you speak first."
The beautiful woman in cheongsam frowned slightly: "Ordinary Spiritual Realm Walkers dare not kill our official people. Could it be that the evil profession Spiritual Realm Walkers did it?"
Li Dongze replied: "We are still investigating Zhao Yingjun's recent interpersonal relationships."
If it was done by the evil profession Spiritual Realm Walkers, the severity of the incident would be raised to a higher level.
The fire master raised his eyebrows and was furious, "Evil profession? These stinky rats in the gutter dared to kill my Five Elements Alliance. I will make him pay the price."
The others looked solemn, and Bai Long in a racing suit pondered:
"How is Zhao Yingjun's combat power? "
Li Dongze looked at Fu Qingyang.
Fu Qingyang said: "There is a defensive item."
Hearing this, Bai Long's face was solemn, "Although the level 2 scout is not good at fighting, it is not so easy to kill him with the defensive item, not to mention that we can make a preliminary judgment on the strength of the murderer based on this without alerting the guests in the next room. "
Tang Guoqiang, the owner of a construction company wearing a miner's hat, said in a deep voice:
"Very powerful."
Da Ji Ba snorted coldly and repeated his words just now: "So what if he is very powerful? Anyone who dares to kill my Five Elements Alliance must die no matter how powerful he is."
Bai Long silently held his forehead, thinking that when discussing matters, could he kick out the idiot of the Red Fire Gang first?
Li Dongze said: "After our investigation, Zhao Yingjun has many mistresses, especially likes to support female college students. We are checking his mistresses one by one."
Da Ji Ba frowned and said: "Why? "
"Zhao Yingjun and his mistress had different trysts at different hotels, but the murderer was able to find the hotel address and lock the room number, which means he had a certain understanding of Zhao Yingjun's movements. He was either an acquaintance or had been tracking him for a long time." Li Dongze said:
"The one who knows you best is always the woman next to you. We may be able to get some clues from Zhao Yingjun's mistress."
The captains nodded solemnly.
Li Dongze continued:
"Zhao Yingjun was tortured and abused before his death. Imagine what the murderer tortured him about? What did he find out? Whether the murderer is a vendetta or an evil profession, this is a problem that deserves our careful treatment. "
The faces of the captains present changed slightly.
Evil professions and lawful professions have always been incompatible, hunting and tracking each other.
What can interest evil professions is, of course, the information of official spirit realm walkers, and even their hiding places.
And if the murderer is not an evil profession, a powerful spirit realm walker risked offending the official organization, sneaked into the hotel to interrogate and kill, and the truth behind it may be more complicated.
Qingteng said in a deep voice: "We must find the murderer as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Dajiba looked around and said: "Why didn't Yuan Ting come? Let him devour Zhao Yingjun's spirit and obtain Zhao Yingjun's memory. Then we can know who the murderer is. "
The importance of the Night Wandering God who can control the spirit body instantly stood out.
Fu Qingyang shook his head and said:
"Yesterday, Taiyi Sect summoned all official Night Wandering Gods to Beijing for discussion, and Yuan Ting was not in Songhai. "
His expression was very calm from beginning to end, as if he would not panic even if the sky fell.
Going to Beijing to discuss matters? Several captains felt depressed. If Yuan Ting was not there, the Night Wanderers of other regions would definitely not be there either.
Is this too much of a coincidence? The murderer did not act earlier or later, but chose to act when the Night Wanderers collectively went to Beijing.
Da Jiba angrily said: "What's wrong with Taiyi Sect? Why did they choose this time instead of holding a meeting earlier? We should have trained our own Night Wanderers long ago."
Li Dongze said helplessly:
"The cause and effect are reversed. The murderer chose this time... Never mind, it's not important. Don't worry, we have our own Night Wanderers."
