Yunhan Hotel Murder Incident

The light rain during the Qingming Festival seems to be a sign that the spring cold will creep up on the room temperature again and again.

My name is Zhou Chu, the lobby manager of Yunhan Hotel in Qisi City.

Qisi City is an ancient city. While protecting its ancient ruins, the government puts thousands of land bids in the daily morning newspapers, and then allows commercial buildings or community schools to be built one after another from it. are clearly marked on the map.

The Yunhan Hotel is the most magnificent and luxurious shopping place in Qisi City.

I also accidentally got a place in this hotel relying on my academic qualifications and connections. When my friends talk about me, most of them use hotel as a synonym for me.

When I received the call, I was placing the handicrafts I had just bought online on the bookcase. Listening to each word the other person spoke was like pouring a basin of cold water on my head. , my originally happy mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

I hurriedly went to the bedroom to change into formal clothes, and then went to the garage to get the car. I wanted to rush to the hotel right now.

Something happened in the hotel. To be precise, something happened to a woman. That woman's name is Wen Jing, the hottest star singer in Qisi City, and she lives in the VIP suite of the hotel. The hotel just called and said she was murdered in the room!

I find it too ridiculous, how could such a thing happen in our hotel, the security system and the limit on the VIP floor would hardly allow unimportant people to get there, let alone be murdered. Such an incredible thing.

It was raining heavily outside, and the raindrops hit the glass like stones one after another.

After arriving at the hotel, because the news was temporarily blocked and there was no unnecessary media or trouble, the general manager came down from upstairs and happened to see me. He wanted to see the surveillance video, so I followed him of course. past.

"We must bear some responsibility for the death of people in our hotel, but we must do our best to reduce the negative news about the hotel." The general manager looked at me, "Once the matter is exposed, the media will report it If you can buy it at all costs, you must deal with the consequences."

I nodded in agreement, and then a few of us rushed to the control room.

"The last few text messages on Wenjing's mobile phone were sent at four o'clock in the afternoon," the general manager said to the operator, "call up the VIP floor monitoring after four o'clock and see what happened during that time period. Has anyone been to Wen Jing’s room?”

After watching all the surveillance videos, we found that only Wen Jing’s manager Zhou Weiguang had entered the room after four o’clock.

"It was the body found by Zhou Weiguang." The general manager said and looked at the video again. "A few minutes after Zhou Weiguang entered the room, he told our senior management about Wen Jing's murder. The person should not have been killed by him. "

"The time to commit the crime is too short?" I said thoughtfully, "Can I go to Wenjing's room to take a look?"

Finding the murderer before might give the hotel some room for maneuver," the general manager patted me on the shoulder, "You're a top student at Peking University, I hope you can find the murderer."

Inside Wen Jing's room. There were several medical staff, and Zhou Weiguang was sitting on the sofa on one side, his face pale. There was a strong smell of acrid smoke in the room. "Is there a fire?" I asked.

Zhou Weiguang pointed to an iron bucket placed next to the table. When I got closer, I realized that it was full of wood blocks, and they were burned, equivalent to charcoal. This would also explain the smell of smoke in the house.

According to Zhou Weiguang's description, when he came in, the windows and curtains of the room were closed, Wen Jing was tied to a chair next to the table, and there was a pustule on the back of her head that was bulging from the impact. Her phone was on the table and she sent a text message to four groups of people at four o'clock.

Zhou Weiguang also came to the hotel after seeing the text message.

"What is the content of the text message? Can you tell me?" I asked.

“She just asked me to come to the hotel room and said she had something to discuss. Normally, she would discuss anything with me.

”

The other three people who received the text message were Su Yin, Zhao Xueyang, and He Rui. The three of them were Wen Jing’s college classmates. According to Zhou Weiguang’s description, Wen Jing had almost no contact with them. , why would you ask them to come together to discuss things?

"I have already called the three of them to come over. "As Zhou Weiguang spoke, he whispered a few words to the people around him.

"You are the only one who received the text message, right? "I asked.

"Didn't they come? "

"The surveillance video shows that no one except you entered this room after four o'clock. "I looked at Zhou Weiguang's puzzled expression and said, "But if people who haven't been in contact for a long time suddenly send a group text message asking to meet, they must be related to Wen Jing's murder. ”

Su Yin, Wen Jing’s college classmate, had a normal relationship in school.

Zhao Xueyang, Wen Jing’s ex-boyfriend in school, is now dating Su Yin.

p>

He Rui, Wen Jing’s senior in college, they only knew each other at school

These people, including Wen Jing’s agent, may have some ulterior secrets.

We were waiting in the room for the forensic report and the arrival of Su Yin and the other three. Not long after, Su Yin and Zhao Xueyang walked in and turned around the blind corner of the storage room at the door and came into our sight. .

Su Yin's hair was slightly wet, and she looked at Wen Jing with a fearful expression and then leaned against Zhao Xueyang. Her hand grabbed Zhao Xueyang's arm very hard, and Zhao Xueyang was also very surprised and asked what happened. What.

"Wen Jing was tied to a chair and murdered. "Zhou Weiguang explained.

"What's the cause of death? "

"The forensic doctor is conducting an identification, but if I guess correctly, it should be a pile of charcoal next to this place, causing carbon monoxide poisoning..." Before Zhou Weiguang finished speaking, the forensic identification report came out.

Zhou Weiguang was the first to receive the report, and I leaned over. The cause of death column said that he died of poisoning caused by a large amount of chloride in the body.

"So it was not poisoning by carbon monoxide produced by charcoal? " Zhao Xueyang said, I think he was a little relieved, although his expression was still a little strange.

"Then how does this charcoal explain that there is lingering smoke in the room, and what exactly is chloride? "Zhou Weiguang looked at me thoughtfully.

At this time, another person came in from the outside, He Rui, the last person notified by the text message.

He Rui was watching When he saw Wen Jing's body, there was no expression of disbelief or surprise on his face. He was too calm, as calm as an insignificant passerby.

"Why were you so calm when you saw Wen Jing's body? I speculated on the choice of words, "Or do you know she will die?" "

He panicked as soon as I said these words, and the others also looked at him closely.

"I haven't met Wen Jing at all today. There was no way I could have known something would happen to her. ”

“That means I’ve seen you before?” "I asked suspiciously.

He Rui looked at me, "Is it strange that we are college classmates meeting each other? "

"Wen Jing is a star now. According to her agent, she rarely interacts with her college classmates." I glanced at Zhou Weiguang, who nodded to agree with me, "What is your relationship? And why do we meet? "

He Rui looked at me without speaking, with a look of disdain.

"If you don't tell the truth, we have reason to suspect that you are directly related to Wen Jing's death. " Zhou Weiguang threatened.

Obviously, this trick is very effective.

"I'm just greedy for money. He Rui said helplessly, and then glanced at Su Yin and Zhao Xueyang, "Wen Jing has a handle in my hands. I only use this to blackmail her. I will not kill her to seek benefits." "

"What handle? "Zhou Weiguang asked.

"There was a fire incident three years ago. "He Rui said and threw his eyes at Su Yin.

Then Su Yin took over hesitantly and continued, "Three years ago, we had just graduated from college and participated in a singing competition. Wen Jing and I were in the same group and were assigned to the same dormitory. But then there was a fire in the dormitory and I was trapped. In the room, I was unconscious when I was rescued. In the end, my voice was broken due to inhaling a lot of smoke and I was unable to continue singing in the competition. Because of my absence, Wenjing became the champion of that competition.

"The fire was actually started by Wen Jing." He Rui said, taking out his mobile phone from his pocket, "There is a recording on my mobile phone, the content is Wen Jing talking about that while chatting with a man in the bar. The fire was her fault. "

"So you are using this to blackmail her. If she doesn't give you money, you will make the recording public." I thought about what He Rui said. , "Then how much benefit did you get from her because of this matter?"

"Fifty thousand." He Rui looked at Zhou Weiguang, "If it hadn't been for the fire three years ago, Wen Jing would never have been able to survive." His current status. Five hundred thousand is definitely not too much for me."

Wen Jing had the most perfect life because of the fire, but the fire ruined another woman's life.

"Do you know that Wen Jing started the fire?" I asked Su Yin.

She nodded in acquiescence.

"I have a good relationship with Zhao Xueyang. They are lovers, so I told them what happened." He Rui paused and said, "Wen Jing is not a good woman. He will do whatever it takes to kill her in order to get the upper hand. There must be more than one or two people."

I originally wanted to suspect He Rui. He might have lied. The money he extorted might be more than 500,000. He Rui and Wen Jing might have been talking to each other during the conversation. There was a dispute, so you committed a crime of passion? But thinking about it carefully, it was wrong. He Rui did not arrive as promised after receiving the text message, and the surveillance video still showed his alibi.

The only person who has been to the scene is Zhou Weiguang. If he is not suspected or has no motive to kill him, then this is a secret room murder case.

I still feel that something is wrong. What does the text message Wen Jing sent before her death mean? She asked them to come to the hotel to discuss things. What was the matter discussed? These two points are absolutely crucial.

At this time, the general manager suddenly walked in seriously. When he saw so many people in the room, he frowned slightly, but when he saw Zhao Xueyang, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes. .

"How did you get in?" the general manager asked him.

"Just walked in." Zhao Xueyang was obviously panicked.

"What do you mean?" I walked up to the general manager and asked.

"I have just been watching the entry and exit of this floor in the control room, and I saw this lady and this gentleman coming in," the general manager said, pointing to Su Yin and He Rui, "But I didn't see him come in."

"Can you explain?" I asked suspiciously.

"We... came in together." Su Yin said hesitantly. Clearly lying.

"The video records that you came in alone." The general manager said sternly.

Su Yin was very scared and moved closer to Zhao Xueyang. Maybe he felt that since there was something wrong with the timing of Zhao Xueyang's appearance, he was more willing to confess. He patted Su Yin's hand to express comfort, "It's okay. The cause of death was not caused by me anyway."

There is obviously something in this statement.

Zhao Xueyang looked at everyone and spoke slowly, "When I found out that Wen Jing started the fire three years ago, I was very angry. She ruthlessly destroyed Su Yin's future. I couldn't be more angry. If Su Yin's voice hadn't been injured then she would be the one who shines now. I couldn't see Wen Jing living so comfortably, so I decided to use the same method to destroy Wen Jing's voice."

"You. How did you escape the surveillance and enter the room?" I asked.

"I didn't enter this house today. I hid in the food delivery car two days ago to avoid surveillance, and then hid in the storage at the door while they were packing food in the house. Thanks to this blind spot, the 90-degree corner from the door can be said to be an invisible area from the room. You can only see it when you walk directly opposite the door," Zhao Xueyang explained, "These charcoal and iron. I also prepared the bucket, and when Wen Jing came to the room alone this afternoon, I rushed out, knocked her unconscious and tied her to a chair, then lit the charcoal and placed it next to her, letting the thick smoke generated by the incomplete combustion of the charcoal destroy her. Her throat."

"Is it that simple?" I asked, "What does that text message mean?"

"I have to go out." Someone answered me, so this is the purpose of sending text messages to Su Yin and me on Wen Jing's mobile phone. I need Su Yin to answer me. "

"Why did you send it to me? ?" He Rui asked in confusion.

"If Su Yin and I were the only ones present, then the fact that we destroyed Wen Jing's voice might be suspected, but if you had been here too, and you had threatened Wen Jing, you might not have discussed the deal. Okay, you did something like this to ruin her voice." Zhao Xueyang said with some hesitation, "I blame you because I have no choice but to treat you like a brother." He Rui was very angry.

"Then why did you also send a text message to the agent?" I asked.

Zhao Xueyang looked at Zhou Weiguang with sharp eyes, "Because the only person here who wants Wen Jing to die is Zhou Weiguang. In other words, if Wen Jing dies unexpectedly, Zhou Weiguang will directly benefit." He paused and continued, "I saw a photo on Wen Jing's phone that she had taken elsewhere. Inside it was an insurance contract. Basically, if Wen Jing died unexpectedly, Zhou Weiguang would receive 10 million in compensation!"

I suddenly felt a little indigestion, there were too many things involved.

"There is reason to infer that Zhou Weiguang wanted to let Wen Jing die and then get this huge compensation, so I found another backer for myself, although Zhou Weiguang didn't want to ruin Wen Jing's voice. Reason, but if the matter of destroying my voice extends to murdering money, then the threat to me will be less," Zhao Xueyang said seriously.

I think he explained the matter very clearly, but he did not mention the important clue of death caused by chloride. He only explained the clue of text message in a smooth manner. If he was not the murderer, then in this paragraph The only person who can enter the room at this time is Zhou Weiguang.

"First of all, our company will buy personal accident insurance for every popular star, but my name is on the bottom of the contract. As Wen Jing's agent, the company will pay the insurance with me as the policy holder. The insurance Wen Jing bought, secondly, the accident insurance does not cover man-made murder. Obviously Wen Jing's death was a murder, so legally I can't get a penny from the insurance company," Zhou Weiguang explained methodically.

"The company can buy insurance for Wenjing in the name of the company, not in your name. And if Wenjing dies accidentally, the compensation is 10 million. From a legal point of view, this 10 million is genuine." It belongs to you." I still think his explanation is a bit far-fetched. Even if the current situation is that the murder accident insurance cannot pay out, there is something wrong with the fact that the beneficiary of the contract is Zhou Weiguang.

"Our company has a contract that stipulates that the interest relationships between all agents and artists are fully managed by the company. In other words, even if I benefit from an insurance company of 10 million, then this 10 million will be borne by us." The company's laws stipulate that it still belongs to the company, and I am just a nominal beneficiary." Zhou Weiguang still calmly refuted my remarks.

However, if the company's contract does not exist, Zhou Weiguang is talking about everything alone. Of course, no more people will know the company's secrets.

"Unless I see the express regulations of your company, I have the right to believe that what you just said is not the truth." I will not take a step back.

"Okay, let's go to the company now.

" Zhou Weiguang said and was about to leave. The general manager motioned for me to follow him, and he stayed to control the scene.

I didn't expect that Zhou Weiguang could deal with the questions I raised so calmly. The more magnanimous he was, the more I felt There is a problem. Things like insurance beneficiaries are generally very close and important people, but if their company really has contract terms to prove that his words are true, then it is a different matter.

His car was parked in the garage. There was no one in the garage. I could even hear the sound of my heart beating little by little.

Zhou Weiguang opened the car, I sat in the back seat, and then. When I saw the express box placed on the back seat, Zhou Weiguang's face instantly became tense. Perhaps it would be better to say desperate.

There was a skull logo on the box and deadly poison written underneath. A few big words.

"You still pretended to take me to the company to see the terms of the contract. Isn't it all your doing? It's clear now. "I held the box in my hand, "If you guessed correctly, there will be a lot of chloride in this deadly poison, are you right? ”

Zhou Weiguang didn’t speak, and after a long time he said: “This morning I went to Wen Jing’s room and she asked me about insurance, and threatened to tell the truth. I left in a panic at that time. I entered her room, went back to the company and forged a document about the insurance incident between the manager and the artist, which is the document I am going to show you. Then I ordered the poison online. I know Wen Jing’s character very well, and I have some thoughts. If I kill her and get 10 million yuan in compensation, since she knows this, she will definitely make a bigger fuss than me. Just when she texted me and said we would meet in the evening, I felt that the opportunity had come, so I took the poison I bought and took it with me. When I got to the room, I found her asleep and tied up, so I gave her the poison without stopping, and it would kill her in one to two minutes..."

It's a pity that Zhou Weiguang He carelessly put the poison box in the car, the so-called secret.

Later, the murder case in Yunhan Hotel was replaced by what had to be said between the manager and the artist and became the topic of the next day. Headlines.

When I drove home, the rain was still falling, but the raindrops hitting the glass were as soft as your subconscious that has not been polished by the world.

No. Appear unexpectedly and then leave quietly
