Li Shengnan showed his credentials to the cashier at the front desk, and asked with a solemn expression: "Hello, we are the police, and now I want to ask you something about the murder this morning."

The pretty cashier got up with a smile and nodded slightly: "Comrade police officer, Li is always an old customer of our hotel. Because he is a senior VIP member, he doesn't need to verify his ID card when checking into the hotel. When Mr. Li came last night As usual, the only difference is that the female friends we bring are different each time, and we only know after the fact that the person involved is a celebrity Lu Changran."

Judging from the performance of the cashier, it was obvious that other police officers had already made statements before.

Li Shengnan nodded indifferently, and asked again, "How was Li Guofu and Lu Changran's mental state when they checked into the hotel last night?"

The cashier rolled his eyes slightly and recalled, "Mr. Li smelled of alcohol last night, and it looks like he drank a lot during the entertainment. The friend he brought seemed to be a little more drunk, and his head was lowered. In the end, she didn't say a word, it was President Li who helped her to the room."

Li Shengnan turned to look at me, "Luo Chao, is there anything else you want to ask?"

I didn't answer immediately, but after looking around, I opened my mouth leisurely: "In a big hotel like yours, it stands to reason that the guests are drunk, and your staff should help deliver the guests to the room. That's right. And Li Guofu is a senior VIP member, aren't you afraid that he will complain about your bad service attitude after drinking?"

The cashier gave me a surprised look, and then resumed his professional smile: "Our hotel does have special staff who will send some drunk guests back to their rooms, like when Mr. Li used to take the initiative to let them go. We sent his friend to the room, but yesterday he refused."

Li Shengnan's eyes lit up and interjected, "Why did he refuse?"

The cashier shook his head: "I don't know this very well, Mr. Li won't let it deliver, and we don't ask much."

"Last night's Mr. Li doesn't seem to be the same as before." Another cashier added with a frown.

Li Shengnan hurriedly asked, "Why is it different? Please tell me more."

"In the past, Mr. Li would only leave after joking with us, but last night he spoke very little and looked more serious, as if he had changed his personality."

The cashier's words made me instantly think of the situation in the case of the headless female corpse. Didn't the murderer confuse the police by pretending to be a victim after the murder? Continue to destroy evidence

"Please help me check the lodging conditions of the rooms up and down the room 1818 last night." I turned to Li Shengnan again and said, "Leave and retrieve the surveillance video of the rooms up and down the room 1818 last night, and make a copy of each one. If there is someone who has reserved a room two days ago or earlier, it will be taken from the time he checked in until now, and don't reveal any of them."

If according to what the cashier said, Li Guofu was a little different last night, then my speculation may be correct, and it is also possible that the real Li Guofu did not commit suicide by jumping off the building from room 1818. The room was left behind.

I went to the room of 1818 by myself, and the wine glass containing the drug was gone, maybe it was taken away by the technical team as evidence. There was nothing suspicious about the furnishings of the room. I went straight to the window and checked the window sill carefully.

On the window sill, there was a not-so-obvious footprint, like the one left by Li Guofu when he jumped off the building. I looked down, and the position of the body after it fell to the ground also matched the position of this window.

I looked up at the top of the window sill again, and there was no other abnormal place, and it may have been dealt with. If this case was premeditated, how could the other party leave such obvious clues

I didn't spend too much time checking the scene. After leaving the room, I went directly to the monitoring room to find Li Shengnan and asked her if she found anything.

"There are thirty rooms above and below Room 1818. How can we investigate so quickly?"

I rolled my eyes forcefully, "You can't call for help? You're really stupid."

"Then come and help, don't you happen to be a top student in the computer department of Fengda? Just let me see how many brushes you have."

Seeing Li Shengnan's slightly sarcastic tone, I smiled in disbelief, and walked to the console and moved my hand. Although I asked Li Shengnan to get a copy of the surveillance video from all the rooms up and down in Room 1818, I only got surveillance footage from Room 1918 and Room 1718. In my opinion, if Li Guofu from last night was fake, then he might leave along the window after entering the room, and the rooms that are the least likely to be exposed are the upper and lower rooms.

The surveillance showed that at 8 o'clock yesterday evening, two men with peaked caps checked into the room. However, the figure of one of them caught my attention. It was very similar to Li Guofu's figure in the surveillance. The only difference was the way they walked.

I couldn't help raising the corners of my mouth and sneered in my heart. In the case of the headless female corpse, it was because of my walking posture that I could guess the truth. Letting the real murderer be arrested, at least let me know that Yang Biao was wronged.

I called Li Meilin and asked him to send someone to extract the fingerprints on the wine glass. At the same time, I sent someone to the Splendid Film and Television Media Company to obtain the recent video surveillance related to Li Guofu. On the other hand, Li Shengnan and I took away most of the surveillance footage from the Fengdu Hotel to prevent those with intentions from destroying the evidence.

On the way back, Li Shengnan looked at me through the rearview mirror for a while, and finally couldn't help but express the question in his heart: "Luo Chao, why are you suddenly going to examine Li Guofu's body?"

I asked her back, "Do you still remember the headless female corpse case?"

While driving the car seriously, Li Shengnan replied, "Remember, what does this have to do with the headless female corpse case?"

I was too lazy to betray her, and explained to her, "I suspect that the Li Guofu that appeared in the video is fake. The real Li Guofu did not commit suicide by jumping from room 1818, but from room 1718."

"Ah?" Li Shengnan opened his mouth in surprise, "How is this possible? Even if the two men under surveillance are suspicious, it doesn't mean that Li Guofu was killed by them, right?"

I grinned inexplicably: "What if I said that one of these two people is Li Guofu himself?"

"This is even more impossible!" Li Shengnan shook his head firmly, "If someone wants to harm him, why would he obediently follow others into the room?"

"As for why, we have to start the investigation from Li Guofu. What we need to do now is to first determine that Li Guofu who committed suicide by jumping off the building is not the same person who appeared in the surveillance, and then investigate who killed him through Li Guofu's social network. motive."

Li Shengnan was speechless at my inference, but I put my arms around my chest calmly, leaned back in the chair and closed my eyes.

My brain was running and I could tell from the cashier's description of Li Guofu that he should be a horny guy. Perhaps because of this, the murderer created this rape case.

However, such a lascivious person, after successfully raping a woman, how could he suddenly choose to commit suicide by jumping off a building after his conscience finds out

Because it involves the Jinxiu Group and Lu Changran, I instinctively think that there must be a huge conspiracy behind this case.
