In addition to Luoyu City, potential victims are also located in Jinling City and Changyan City. The three cities span the north and south, and are separated by hundreds of kilometers from each other. It takes several hours to fly.
Chu Yu speculated that Xia Yihan would choose Luoyu City, which is the closest to Wangjiang City. She felt that it was not only them who were rushing for time, but Xia Yihan as well. Usually, there would be a period of time between committing crimes and serial murders, but Xia Yihan injured two people in a row within three days. People, the same method, it can be seen that she has made preparations in advance, it is an intentional injury, and her behavior is predictable, but because she is well prepared, it is quite difficult to detect.
She is like "killing" people against the clock to realize a certain wish, complete a certain ritual.
Li Shan stayed overnight in the hotel last night, monitoring the front desk, and no suspicious persons appeared. He yawned, packed his things, and prepared to go back to take shifts with the team members to catch up on sleep.
"Today, the news of the Sophora japonica killer is overwhelming. Did you observe the protection objects, did you notice any abnormality in them?"
Li Shan shook her head, "No, it's still business as usual, the couple take turns on duty, Xiao Chen pretended to have a chat with them, and learned that there is a cleaner in the store, an aunt who is in charge of cooking, and occasionally order takeout, in fact, they can go there. Traveling around the world, I invited two young people to be the receptionists, but they have become accustomed to it for more than ten years. When they leave the hotel, they feel like they are away from home."
Chu Yu put on a knitted sweater jacket and cut his hair out, "Are there any children?"
"There is a child, eleven years old, who is studying in the provincial capital, brought by his grandparents."
Chu Yu took the bag and said to Li Shan, "You sit here first, and you and I don't show up at the same time. I'm going to talk to the couple in person and ask about the situation."
Fang Datuo was shocked, "You want to tell them in person that they are potential victims?"
"Yes, on the one hand, keep them alert and be wary of visitors coming to the store, and on the other hand, see if they can get unexpected clues."
Muyu packed up the computer and prepared to follow along, "Datuo should want to ask. You asked about Borui's yesterday. He provided false information. If you ask rashly like this, will the He and his wife not cooperate?"
Chu Yu replied as he walked out, "It's okay, if they really know about it and deliberately hide the information, I can see it, and it can also help me determine the nature of the case."
When she arrived at the hotel, Chu Yu saw the man sitting at the front desk at a glance. She saw the photo on the Internet of the Investigation Office and immediately recognized it. This is He Zhiping, the son-in-law of the old man who was killed six years ago. His wife's name is He Lan, and he is also the owner of the hotel. No one is seen now.
Seeing Chu Yu, He Zhiping smiled, "Hello, do you have an online appointment?"
Muyu showed his police officer certificate with a serious face, "Hello, we have something to do and want to ask you about the situation."
He Zhiping was at a loss, looking at her two clothes, a little unbelievable, but he still stood up, at a loss, "Hello, officer, do you want to round the room?"
Chu Yu: "Let's talk in the room, where's your wife?"
"She just moved her luggage to the storage room and should be back soon."
Just as she was talking, He Lan came out of the small room behind the front desk of the hotel. Her shoulders were strong and round, and her shoulders were big and rounded at the waist, which contrasted sharply with He Zhiping's gentleness.
"Hello Ms. He, please come to the room with Mr. He and me. The front desk will temporarily let other staff guard it."
He Lan looked a little conflicted, "You are"
He Zhiping poked her with his elbow, "Officer, I understand the situation."
He Lan's eyes turned a few times on Chu Yu and Muyu, and his tone was not good, "Now that police officers' certificates can be forged, how can we believe that you are the police?"
"Then why don't you go to the Public Security Bureau and let's talk slowly in the interrogation room?" Chu Yu made a gesture of invitation, sincerely inviting him.
He Lan looked hesitant, and clenched He Zhiping under the table, motioning him not to move.
Chu Yu smiled and gave Muyu a wink.
Muyu understood and kept talking, "He Zhiping, thirty-eight years old, was born in Luoyu City People's Hospital, and weighed 6.8 catties at birth. From three to five years old, he studied at Chenguang Kindergarten in Xiongchu Street, and from six to thirteen years old in Chenguang Kindergarten. Yucai No. 2 Elementary School, because Xiaoshengchu did not do well in the exam and repeated a year..."
"Officer, we believe it, we believe it," He Zhiping asked Muyu to be merciful.
After He Lan heard this, his face turned ugly again, "I'm sorry, police officer, everything is peaceful in the hotel, and there is no illegal phenomenon. We didn't evade taxes, and we didn't involve pornography, gambling and drugs. You can check the finances and rooms as you like."
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, half-smiling but not smiling, with a very friendly attitude, "Miss He, have you watched today's news?"
He Lan picked up the handkerchief on the stage and wiped his hands, "I don't have the habit of watching the news."
He Zhiping was a little excited, "I saw it, is it the Phantom of the Sophora japonica that is related to handling the case?"
He Lan: "But what does this have to do with us?"
"It's related," Chu Yu approached her and lowered his voice, "because the two of you may be the next victims."
…
I randomly picked a room, a standard double room, Chu Yu let the couple sit on one bed, and she and Muyu sat on the other.
He Lan and He Zhiping were both pale, and were shocked by the "bold from the blue" brought by Chu Yu. They were waiting to be questioned and eager to understand the situation.
"Police officer, is that Huaihua killer who ordered soldiers and generals to kill? How did you know how we were targeted?"
Seeing that He Zhiping was incoherent, Chu Yu looked really frightened.
"We are analyzing her behavior based on her behavior. Next step, she may target the two, so the two need to cooperate. In the past few days, whenever there are travelers who come to the hotel, please send their identity information to us, and we will check them. , and then let him check in, and try to avoid going out alone. Please be sure to go out in public places with many people. When you take a break at night, please change rooms at random and inform us that we will arrange people to live next to you. Don't worry too much, I have deployed police around the hotel to protect the two of you 24 hours a day."
He Lan was a little absent-minded after hearing Chu Yu explain the precautions carefully. She nodded from time to time, but her eyes kept wandering.
"Actually, we can't determine the identity of the murderer. Can you recall, is there any enemy or object of dispute?"
He Zhiping rushed to speak, "No, we are conscientious and conscientious, doing a small business, we have no enemies, we usually serve the guests who stay in the hotel, we have not received complaints for so many years, and we stay in the hotel on weekdays. There is no chance to have a relationship with outsiders."
Chu Yu nodded, then looked at He Lan, his voice unhurried, "Ms. He, do you have an impression?"
He Lan was silent for a moment, his eyelids drooping and never raised, "I don't either, maybe there is, but I can't remember it, since I can't remember it, it's definitely not important, it won't kill people. "
He Zhiping flicked his body and patted He Lan, "I remembered, six years ago, my mother died inexplicably, could she be killed by the enemy, and now the enemy has come to us again?"
He Lan was startled by him, clenched his fists and smashed him on the arm, "Don't be so rude, what does it mean to be killed by the enemy, Mom, she has been kind to others all her life, I grew up by her side, don't say Enemy family, there are no neighbors who have quarreled!"
Chu Yu nodded with a smile, and said gently, "Then Ms. He, do you have one?"
He Lan's body suddenly froze, she pursed her lips, then coughed a few times, and covered her mouth with her hand, "Didn't I just say it? I didn't... No, no!"
He Zhiping touched the pained arm, remembering to eat or not to beat, "Wife, think about it again, you see that you are so aggressive, what if you offend someone outside? Think about whether you have scolded others. You get bloody, and then you slap your butt and forget it, people remember it clearly!"
He Lan glared at him, "Do you really want me to be cut off? You're happy when I get cut, right?"
"No... No..." He Zhiping hurriedly stood up, hid behind Chu Yu, seeking shelter, afraid of being beaten again.
After hearing this, Chu Yu showed a look of regret and shook his head helplessly, "Actually, to be precise, her target may not only be the two of you, but also all the relatives of the two. Your relatives may also be in danger. Don't you think? If there is a potential enemy family, it will be more difficult for us to guard against it, but the focus of protection is still the two of you, in the next period of time, please cooperate with the two of you."
After speaking, Chu Yu paid attention to the reaction of the two of them. He Zhiping nodded again and again, asking them to protect the child and his grandparents, but He Lan was silent and nodded.
Without further ado, Chu Yu left his contact information, gave Muyu a wink, and got up to leave.
He Zhiping stood up and thanked them for sending them out. While waiting for the elevator, He Lan suddenly came out of the room, pulled Chu Yu and asked, "Officer, the murderer is a young woman, right?"
