My mind was in a mess and I couldn't answer. I always feel that everything in the world is negotiable.
But both Team Leader Shao and Zhao Mingkun are telling me one thing. It's like when the thick noodles are sold out, there will be no thick noodles. It's like when the fish balls are sold out, there will be no fish balls. Some things are never negotiable. No matter how many times you ask, you will always get the same answer.
"En." I didn't affirm or deny it, but just perfunctory Zhao Mingkun.
I wanted to stand up, but Zhao Mingkun took my hand and said to me: "Wait a minute, look, the stars are coming out."
I lay down again and looked up to the sky. Sure enough, the night fell, and the sky was already full of stars. When I was a child, I liked to lie on the roof alone and look at the stars. When I was in the mood, I would count them one by one. Only at such moments can I forget about those unhappy things and feel that everything has calmed down.
"Have you ever heard of it?" Zhao Mingkun said, "After death, everyone will turn into a star in the sky. And the more people who miss you, the brighter your star will be. When no one misses you When you die, your star will disappear in the sea of stars. I don’t know how many stars appeared because of me. I only know that if I die, that star must be very dim. The brightest one A star, how many people are missing him."
I am a staunch atheist, how can I believe that the stars are changed by people. But at this moment, I suddenly understood that whether it was ghosts or gods, fantasies or fairy tales, they were all told by a lonely person for another group of lonely people.
"Yes, then he must have done a lot of things that others will miss." I said softly.
"Let's go!" Zhao Mingkun stood up and said, "There is still some time, we can still go to Wang Yikai. I am afraid that your colleagues will also get involved in Wang Qianduo's matter. If they figure out the situation, I am afraid There is nothing for us."
At around 6:30, after speaking with Wang Yikai, we confirmed that Wang Yikai was at home. At this moment, we had to find a new means of transportation, so we agreed to wait for Wang Yikai downstairs at eight o'clock. And Zhao Mingkun also lived up to expectations. At seven o'clock, he pushed a motorcycle and walked in. I really wonder if this sister has a boyfriend who makes motorcycles.
Tonight, the four people in Wang Yikai's dormitory made an appointment to go to the leisure and bathing center. Zhang Yifa, Cheng Lu, and Sun Shouwang had already gone first. And Wang Yikai had to be late because he received our call. We met Wang Yikai downstairs, and Wang Yikai drove us to the leisure bathing center.
In Wang Yikai's words, after what happened last night, several people were still in shock. They didn't feel sleepy at all that night, and they have stayed up until now. Tonight, Zhang Yifa treats guests to let everyone relax. At the same time, if a few brothers gather together with sufficient yang energy, even if there is a ghost coming, they will not dare to come here easily.
Judging from Luo Ding's notebook, Wang Yikai is the most suspicious one. And Wang Qianduo said that Liang Mei also went to the back of the construction site. If we can figure out the order in which Wang Yikai and Liang Mei went to meet Lu Zhiqiu, we can rule out the suspicion of several of them.
Wang Yikai was driving the car, and I asked, "Wang Yikai, you didn't seem to explain some things at the Huang's Garden Hotel that day."
Wang Yikai turned his head to look at me in the co-pilot, and said, "What's the matter? Can you remind me?"
I took out Luo Ding's notebook from my pocket, and said: "Luo Ding's notes have recorded a lot of things. I think it's not so embarrassing for you to say it yourself. But if we want to say it, Then you fall into a passive position, you know?"
Seeing what was in my hand, Wang Yikai's face changed obviously, he frowned and said, "Is this Luo Ding's notebook?"
"Let me remind you a little bit." I said, "About the clothes."
Hearing this, Wang Yikai's hands trembled, and the car swayed from side to side. After a while, Wang Yikai gripped the steering wheel again. He turned his head and looked at me for a long time before he said: "We are going to the bathing place soon. If you have nothing to do at night, you can come to my house. I will have a good talk with you about this matter."
Wang Yikai was very serious and his tone was steady, which made me a little suspicious. If it was really Wang Yikai who did it, it's not that he couldn't do something like trick us into his home and kill us to silence him.
When it comes to killing people, Zhao Mingkun seems to be much more professional. She said slowly: "Oh, what did I say that hurt me."
Wang Yikai quickly shook his head and said: "I said two, don't get me wrong. Even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to kill someone in my own home, right? Someone can prove my innocence, and I hope you can do it sooner." If the murderer is caught, the murderer will not kill all thirteen people."
I looked at Wang Yikai, it didn't look like he was lying. But before he looked at us, it seemed very unpleasant. How come this Wang Yikai became so cooperative with us in just one day
"It's in front." Wang Yikai had already parked the car in the parking space outside, and then said, "You two, when you get to my house, you can ask whatever you want. But my classmate is here, so don't ask me. Let’s talk about those clothes. Otherwise, I’d rather be killed by ghosts than reveal anything I know to you.”
I smiled, and then realized that Wang Yikai was concerned about this matter. According to Zhao Mingkun's information, Wang Yikai works as a manager of a design company, and there are usually many young girls pursuing him.
"Yes." I said, "As long as you cooperate."
"Cooperate, of course." Wang Yikai said.
Walking into the bathing center, Wang Yikai said a room number, and a waiter led us in. During this time, the waitress kept looking at Zhao Mingkun, as if she didn't understand why she brought a woman. The waiter walked to the door, knocked on the door, and said softly, "Gentlemen, your friends are here."
But there was no response at all.
The waiter knocked on the door again, still very patiently: "Three gentlemen, your friend has arrived."
Still no response.
Wang Yikai said, "They came after five o'clock, right?"
The waiter nodded and said, "That's right, I was the one who brought them in."
Wang Yikai nodded, turned back and said to us: "They came at six o'clock, I have to wait for you at home, so it's late. These three people didn't wait for me, so naturally they couldn't do anything, I'm afraid they fell asleep Alright."
As he said that, Wang Yikai knocked heavily on the door, and shouted: "I mean Lao Zhang, Lao Cheng, Lao Sun, open the door. I am Wang Yikai. Open the door."
Still no response.
Wang Yikai was also a little anxious, and said, "What are you doing in there!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Yikai suddenly realized that we were behind him, and quickly shut up.
Zhao Mingkun and I looked at each other, and an ominous premonition swept over our hearts again.
"Go straight in, don't shout!" I said, "See if the door is locked?"
Wang Yikai turned the doorknob, and the door creaked open. It seemed that the door was not locked. A few of us filed in and saw that there were four beds in the room, and there were people lying on three of them. These three people were all covered with white bath towels, and they seemed to have come out of the pool, without clothes, but lying directly on the bed covered with bath towels.
Seeing this, Wang Yikai rushed forward with one stride. Cheng Lu was near the door, and Wang Yikai slapped Cheng Lu across the face. Just heard Wang Yikai say: "I said, old Cheng, why did you sleep so dead, you are not dead..."
Having said that, Wang Yikai's expression changed, and his voice trembled a little. He shook Cheng Lu's body so violently that the bed shook so loudly that it creaked. But Cheng Lu didn't react at all. During the shaking, I saw Cheng Lu's face, which was a scarlet face.
"Dead!" Wang Yikai immediately slumped on the ground and said, "Dead, Cheng Lu is dead."
"Ah!" The waiter was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who screamed in fear when she heard that someone had died.
"It's dead, it's dead!" The little girl also shouted.
I hurried to Cheng Lu's bed and touched Cheng Lu's body with my hands, only to find that Cheng Lu's body was cold.
Regarding the coldness of the corpse, Guan Zengbin mentioned something to me before. The cooling of the dead body is a process affected by many factors, which are related to the age, physical condition, and cause of death of the deceased. For example, the body temperature of adults and obese people is slower, and the body temperature of children, elderly and emaciated people drops faster.
If the death is due to some special reasons, then the body temperature rises after the death of the human body also occurs.
In about three to five hours after the death of an adult, the body will drop to the same temperature as the room temperature. But Cheng Lu was only wearing a bath towel, exposing a large area of his body, which accelerated the process. Judging from the coldness of Cheng Lu's body, he had been dead for at least two hours.
I immediately touched Cheng Lu's face and neck, and found that his muscles had hardened. Rigidity in these areas occurs within one to three hours of death. From the body, no plaques were formed, which indicated that the time of death was between two and three hours.
Calculating the time, the three of them had just arrived in this room not long ago.
Thinking of this, I immediately went to see the corpses of Zhang Yifa and Sun Shouwang. There was basically no difference between the two corpses and Cheng Lu's corpse. This shows that the time of death of the three people is similar. It's a pity that I am not a professional forensic doctor, so I can only roughly estimate the time in hours, but there is no way to accurately determine the time of death to the minute and second.
But this is enough to explain the problem.
The yelling of the waitress girl attracted the security guards and many spectators from the bathing center. I blocked them from the door and said, "Now, no one is allowed to come in!"
