Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 597: Straight to the Heart
Two minutes later.

hall.

A terrified cry came from the second floor and echoed throughout the inn. It was Zhou Junjie's voice.

"Yingjie is dead! Yingjie is dead!"

"Yingjie was killed!!"

The shouting came too suddenly and without any warning. Chen Yi and the other six people who were eating took two seconds to react, then immediately put down their chopsticks and rushed to the second floor.

The innkeeper Wu Changchun also heard it and left the kitchen in a hurry, looking confused.

"What happened?! Who did I just hear died?"

No one answered him. Chen Yi and others had quickly come to the second floor, just in time to see Peng Xiao and Fan Wen leaving the room and meet Zhou Junjie, who had a frightened face.

"Junjie! What did you just say?!" Fan Wen was extremely stunned. Although she had heard it clearly, it was such an absurd thing that she needed to confirm whether she had heard it wrong.

Zhou Junjie was terrified: "He's dead! Yingjie is dead! It's all blood!"

Fan Wen was so frightened that her face turned pale: "You...you...don't joke around, Junjie!"

Zhou Junjie cursed: "Damn it, I was just kidding! There's a knife stuck in his chest and blood all over the floor. If he's not dead, then is he playing behaviorism?!"

Peng Xiao covered his mouth and stepped back subconsciously, his eyes full of disbelief. Fan Wen almost lost her balance and just stood there.

College students are still in a greenhouse and have no resistance to this kind of thing, let alone girls. At this moment, their thoughts suddenly stopped and their brains were buzzing.

While the three were talking, Chen Yi and the others had already walked quickly around and arrived at the door of the room where Wang Yingjie was.

Standing in front of the door and looking inside, I saw Wang Yingjie curled up on the ground beside the bed, his face facing the door. I could clearly see a knife stuck in his heart, and blood had stained his clothes and the ground red.

His face was covered with wide transparent tape, some of which had been torn, probably by himself.

"Get the things." Chen Yi stared at Wang Yingjie's body and said.

Qin Fei immediately turned around and left. When he came back, he had already taken the investigation box from the car, and also brought Su Ying's forensic box.

The special case team was well prepared for this outing. They brought almost all the criminal investigation equipment they could, filling the entire trunk, even the biological sample storage containers.

After putting on gloves and shoe covers, the six people walked into the room.

"Eh? Shit! You...you don't go in, you have to call the police! No..." Zhou Junjie watched this scene and couldn't help but speak up to stop them.

Fan Wen, who was the first to calm down, interrupted him: "Junjie, they are not ordinary people, how can they wear shoe covers and gloves when traveling?
Did you see those two boxes? I didn’t see one clearly, but I did. They were the on-site inspection boxes.”

Zhou Junjie was not stupid either. He reacted and asked in surprise, "Police?"

Fan Wen nodded: "Yes."

Zhou Junjie was stunned: "What... is going on? Did the police know that Yingjie was going to die?"

Fan Wen: "Are you not sick? If the police knew about this in advance, why didn't they stop it?"

Zhou Junjie: "Well, that's true, then..."

The boss and his wife who came over heard the conversation between the two, but did not approach and stood at a distance watching.

Crime scene.

Qin Fei called the police immediately after entering and informed the Shuishi Town Police Station of his identity as a special case team. Support would arrive in an hour.

During this period, you need to do everything you need to do. There is no need to wait for the police station. It will be useless even if they come.

The only one capable of handling criminal cases is the Xigui County Criminal Investigation Brigade, which is three hours' drive away. There is a big gap in ability between the Brigade and the Special Case Team.

What's more, the special case team has the authority to investigate cases on the spot, and everyone except those in the two-system areas and Formosa Boulevard must cooperate unconditionally.

The on-site investigation and autopsy were handed over to other people, and Chen Yi came to the window alone.

The window was locked and had not been moved.

Looking at the position of Wang Yingjie's body, it seemed that he had struggled and rolled off the bed.

If a sharp weapon pierces the heart, the person will die within a few minutes, and lose consciousness and fall into a coma within a dozen seconds.

During these ten seconds, Wang Yingjie struggled to get off the bed, trying to remove the tape on his face and shout, but failed.

Apparently, the murderer put tape all over Wang Yingjie's face before killing him in order to prevent him from shouting and alerting other people in the inn.

Three college students.

The boss’s family consists of three people.

If we don’t mention conspiracy, it’s a case of one out of six.

To be precise, choose one out of five.

Chen Yi did not think that a severely autistic person was capable of planning such a murder and thought of using tape to prevent the victim from shouting.

While Su Ying was performing the autopsy, Cheng Hanjun was also there trying to extract fingerprints from the knife handle.

The fingerprints are very complex and messy and need to be uploaded to a computer for further comparison. The preliminary judgment is that they should come from three people.

"Captain Chen, there's a strong smell of oil smoke on the knife handle." Cheng Hanjun leaned in to smell it and gave his conclusion.

When new: "From the kitchen? The kitchen of this inn?"

Chen Yi: "Don't guess yet, you'll know after asking. Take pictures of all the details. I'm going to go out for a while, so you guys should be careful."

Before leaving, he saw Su Ying, after roughly examining the process of death, focus her attention on Wang Yingjie's mouth and carefully extract the residues from the mouth.

This Sister Su is even more powerful than I imagined.

He had doubts in the early morning. Wang Yingjie went crazy for no apparent reason. Did he eat something he shouldn't have?

It may have been unintentional before, but now that the person is dead, we can suspect whether someone did it on purpose.

This way of death is... a little too direct.

If the death was more bizarre, wouldn't it be better to attribute it to a "murder by an evil ghost"? Anyway, there have always been rumors that Yunshui Inn is haunted. Although the autistic son was exposed, it is difficult to completely remove the haunted label.

When I walked out of the room, I saw Zhou Junjie and the other two huddled at the door and watching secretly. Standing in the distance were the boss and his wife.

Chen Yi waved and asked the five people to come closer.

"Are you...are you a policeman?" Fan Wen took the lead in mustering up the courage to walk over and asked as she walked.

Chen Yi: "Am I that old?"

Indirect recognition.

Fan Wen apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm... used to it."

I have been calling him "Uncle Police" since I was a child, and I can't change it for the time being.

"So you are a policeman." The boss Wu Changchun breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good... That's good. How could someone die? This is too scary. How can we keep our store open if this gets out?"

Chen Yi glanced at a few people and said coldly: "Everyone, stop talking nonsense, it seems that you don't know the seriousness of the matter.

The Wang Yingjie inside was killed. There were only five of you in the entire inn who were capable of doing this.

What, is it five out of one, five out of two, or five out of three?"

Out of five, two are likely to be the boss and his wife or Zhou Junjie and his wife.

Five against three, the murderer is Zhou Junjie and two other people.

Of course, the probability of one out of five is the highest.

These words made the five people's faces change instantly. Zhou Junjie spoke first: "I... I went back to my room in the early morning and fell asleep! Besides, Peng Xiao was right next to me!"

Chen Yi looked over and said, "Don't you understand what five out of two means?"

Zhou Junjie: "..." Peng Xiao was anxious: "You mean Junjie and I are in collusion?!"

Chen Yi: "You are all suspects, don't rush to explain. It's been a long time since I've encountered someone killing someone in front of me. The innocence you show now is useless in my eyes.

Although I know it is impossible, I still want to ask: Are you willing to surrender?
The difference in sentencing between surrendering yourself and being caught by me will be huge, but at least you won’t have to pay with your life.”

The five people looked at each other, no one spoke, and they still looked confused and innocent.

After a while, the boss Wu Changchun spoke up: "Comrade police officer, my husband and I are just ordinary people who run a hotel in Shidu Town. We don't know them at all."

Chen Yi nodded: "I know, so at the moment, these three are the most suspicious."

While speaking, Chen Yi raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Junjie, Peng Xiao and Fan Wen.

The three were college students who had some knowledge of criminal investigation. They knew this was the fact and remained silent.

"Qin Fei!" Chen Yi shouted, and when the other party appeared, he ordered: "Follow the five of them to the first floor and stay there. Don't leave your sight."

Qin Fei: "Yes!"

The investigation was still going on. Chen Yi called Teng Dabing and He Shixin away and began to check the rooms of Zhou Junjie, Peng Xiao and Fan Wen.

The key is to find the remaining tape.

This is a very important clue.

We have to find it no matter whether we can find it or not. Maybe the murderer's anti-detection ability is very weak? Maybe the murderer knows that it will take an hour for the police to arrive and wants to get rid of all traces within this hour?

Fan Wen's room is very simple, and no abnormal items were found after searching. However, Zhou Junjie and Peng Xiao's rooms are a bit messy, with tables and stools placed randomly. Although the floor has been swept, it still looks messy, with some melon seed shells remaining.

The four of them had invited each other to play cards last night, and it seemed that the location was in Zhou Junjie and Peng Xiao’s room. Their room was relatively large and sufficient for them to play cards.

Check every corner carefully.

Zhou Junjie's room is the focus, and he is the most suspicious among the five people.

There is really no reason for the innkeeper and his wife to be so cruel to their guests. It is more likely that they were acquaintances. Among Wang Yingjie's three acquaintances, only Zhou Junjie met the conditions for violent murder.

Stabbing a knife directly into the heart, relatively speaking, the probability of Peng Xiao and Fan Wen choosing this method of killing is relatively low.

Judging from big data, poisoning is the main method used by women to kill people.

After Teng Dabin and He Shixin entered the room, Chen Yi turned into the bathroom at the back.

When committing a crime in a hotel, the restroom is the best psychological safety zone for the suspect, and it is often the place where they choose to destroy evidence.

The bathroom is not big. There is a sink at the entrance, a toilet inside, and a dry and wet separated bathroom further inside. You can see everything at a glance.

Chen Yi carefully checked every corner.

"Is it normal to wear disposable gloves when traveling?" Not long after, a new voice was heard in the living room, and he asked Teng Dabin beside him.

Teng Dabin squatted down and watched He Xin take out a whole bag of disposable gloves from the suitcase and open it.

The suitcase is of a masculine style and should belong to Zhou Junjie.

"Is it normal to bring disposable gloves when traveling?" Teng Dabin said, "Zhou Junjie is a second-generation rich kid, so he lives a life of luxury."

He Xin said: "When the murderer breaks into a house and kills someone, he will definitely leave fingerprints in two places, one is the door handle, and the other is the knife handle. If you wear disposable gloves, you can avoid this problem.

Otherwise, the moment the fingerprints are matched, the murderer will be arrested. Nowadays, everyone is smart. If they are planning to commit murder, they should have some anti-detection awareness, right? "

Teng Dabin: "Do you suspect Zhou Junjie killed Wang Yingjie wearing disposable gloves?"

He Shixin: "Among the six people in the inn, he is currently the most suspicious. In addition, Wang Yingjie's nonsense in the early morning also mentioned Zhou Junjie. It seems that the two sides have a financial dispute."

Teng Dabin couldn't refute it, so he affirmed: "What you said makes sense."

Then, he turned around to wash his bathroom and shouted, "Chen Yi! What do you think?"

Chen Yi's voice came from the bathroom: "He's right!"

Seeing that Chen Yi also suspected Zhou Junjie, Teng Dabin said, "Then focus on investigating Zhou Junjie. Once you find the evidence, just press it!"

He Xin didn't say anything and put away the disposable gloves.

On the other side, Chen Yi in the bathroom was observing the toilet. After learning that Zhou Junjie was wearing disposable gloves, he felt something was wrong the more he looked.

There seems to be something wrong with the amount of water in the toilet.

This toilet is exactly the same as the one in my room.

Most toilets will have backflow after flushing. If there is no problem with the construction and quality of the toilet, the backflow amount will be small, otherwise the backflow amount will be large.

Large backflow not only causes various hygiene problems, but also easily splashes water when defecating, which is very embarrassing.

The toilet backflow in Chen Yi's own room is very large.

The toilet in front of me has very little backflow.

“Disposable gloves?”

Chen Yi thought about it for a moment, and without caring whether it was dirty or not, he squatted down and started digging in with his gloved hands.

Fortunately, the amount of water was small, otherwise it would have submerged my wrists.

After groping for a while, Chen Yi pulled out his right hand, with an object sandwiched between his index finger and middle finger.

The disposable gloves had been crumpled beyond recognition, causing a slight clog in the toilet.

Chen Yi put it into the evidence bag, and then continued to reach out, but in the end he failed to find the second one.

It seems that it has already rushed down and only one is stuck.

Disposable gloves can easily clog the toilet. If Zhou Junjie used them last night, flushed them back in his room, and then used the toilet again with Peng Xiao after waking up, it would be reasonable to flush one away and leave the other.

Zhou Junjie's suspicion is greater, but not 100%.

Maybe he just threw the used gloves into the toilet instead of throwing them into the toilet after killing someone.

Chen Yi left the bathroom.

At this time, He Shixin was carefully rummaging through the trash can, which was filled with beverage bottles, melon seed shells, and all kinds of other things.

Fortunately, no disgusting toilet paper or used condoms were found.

In fact, when we move in, we are already mentally prepared. How can a couple live without these things?
The psychological quality of criminal police is still very strong.

Chen Yi passed by and came to the window without stopping to observe the situation outside.

This is the backyard, where miscellaneous items are stored. It looks a bit messy at first glance. Farm tools are placed everywhere, and there is also a small warehouse.

The small warehouse should be used to store hotel supplies, such as toilet paper, disposable toiletries, etc.

Chen Yi decided to go down and take a look.

At this moment, He Xin took out a small ball of paper from the trash can. When he opened it, it was blank and square in shape. His origin and purpose were unknown.

He leaned in for a closer look, then raised his hand to the light and discovered that there was a very small amount of white powder remaining on it.

"Team Chen."

He Xin handed it to Chen Yi who was about to leave.

Chen Yi took it and observed it for a while, then asked the other party to put it in the evidence bag and hand it to Su Ying. At the same time, all the bottles in the trash can should be collected and handed over to Su Ying.

Although the testing equipment outside is not as sufficient as that in the appraisal center, he chose Su Ying to join the special case team because of the other party's level and vast knowledge reserves.

Maybe we can find out something and advance the case.
