Inside the car.

The interrogation is ongoing.

Liu Fenlan knelt on her seat.

Guan Feng told him to get up, but Liu Fenlan saw that Guan Feng wouldn't budge, so he had no choice but to sit up and answer the question.

She shook her head and said, "He didn't say that! But it was already midnight, so even if he wanted to find a place to stay, he could only do so in this scenic area, right?"

Guan Feng nodded, glanced at the darkening sky, and reminded her, "Liu Fenlan, right? Considering the complexity of the case and your prior record of concealment, you are actually a prime suspect. Please stay at home for the time being and do not go anywhere."

Liu Fenlan said with difficulty, "But I still need to go to my mother's place."

Guan Feng asked, "Aren't you from Northeast China?"

Liu Fenlan said, "When I was three years old, my family moved to Hua'an. My parents lived in the next town."

Guan Feng warned, "Even so, it won't work. We've already considered avoiding escalating the impact. In fact, given the nature of your concealment, we can take you back to the branch office for investigation. Please cooperate with our arrangements. If you refuse to comply, then come back to the branch office with us."

Liu Fenlan sighed, nodded to Guan Feng and the others, and said, "I understand, Officer Guan!"

Next.

Guan Feng and the others watched Liu Fenlan go home.

Guan Feng then looked at Wang Xun and the other man and instructed them, "Judging from the current situation, Li Dahai didn't have his ID card with him, so he probably didn't escape too far. Let's check all the guesthouses in the Moon Bay scenic area now and see which one he was in three nights ago!"

Wang Xun and Li Xiangdong both nodded.

Guan Feng instructed, "You two, one of you will investigate from the east end of the village, and the other from the west end. I'll report this to Team Leader Zheng."

He dialed Zheng Yuandong's number and briefly told Li Dahai that he knew Liu Fenlan, and then described how the other party had likely stayed at a guesthouse in the Moon Bay Scenic Area three nights ago.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuandong immediately said, "Then I will arrange for someone to assist you in the investigation right away."

Guan Feng said, "That's the best way! There are more than 50 guesthouses in the entire Moon Bay area. It would be too time-consuming to check them one by one."

Zheng Yuandong said, "Okay, I'll call Group One right away."

Guan Feng said, "Then thank you, Captain."

soon.

Liu Yumin arrived at the scene.

Director Bai also rushed to the scenic area after receiving the news.

He looked at Guan Feng and asked, "Guan, are you sure the other party lives here?"

Guan Feng gave a brief report on the case: "Liu Fenlan said that Li Dahai left around midnight that night and stayed at a friend's place. He didn't have his ID card with him, so he's most likely at one of the hotels here. We're investigating, and we believe we'll have results soon."

As they were talking, Li Xiangdong called.

He told Guan Feng over the phone that he had found Li Dahai's trail at a certain guesthouse.

Guan Feng immediately instructed the other party, "Protect the scene, we'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Director Bai, "Director Bai, we've found the hotel where Li Dahai is staying in the east. We'll head over there now."

Director Bai nodded and said, "Lead the way."

The group headed directly to their destination.

......

Starry Sky B&B.

This is a mid-range guesthouse in Moon Bay.

The regular price is around 100 yuan, which is a cost-effective choice for many people, and there are usually quite a few customers.

Guan Feng entered the guesthouse.

Li Xiangdong was talking to the shop owner when he saw Guan Feng and said, "Captain, you're here? This is the shop. The owner said he's seen Li Dahai. Director Bai? What brings you here too?"

Director Bai waved his hand and said, "You guys continue investigating the case."

Seeing this, Guan Feng didn't waste any more words and stepped forward to ask, "Please tell us the specifics, boss."

The owner recalled, "That person, the one you're looking for, Li Dahai, just wanted to go in. Our front desk stopped him and said he needed to register, but he insisted on barging in even though he said he was there to see a friend. This alarmed me, so I came out to check the situation, which is why I have a deep impression of him."

Guan Feng asked, "Do we have this person's check-in information?"

The boss's expression changed slightly as he said, "No, no."

Guan Feng frowned and asked, "Don't guests need to provide identification information when they check in?"

The shop owner shook his head and said, "I asked him at the time, and he said he just wanted to go in and chat with a friend for a while. In this situation, we can't force people to register, so we didn't ask him to register. What's wrong? What did he do wrong?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "He is involved in a criminal case."

The boss exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? A criminal case? How could that be?"

Guan Feng said, "He said he was going to chat with a friend for a while, and you let him in? Did you check later? When did he leave? And how did you implement the hotel registration system?"

The boss said sheepishly, "We were in the wrong in this matter."

Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "Have you considered the consequences of affecting the investigation? Alright, stop talking nonsense and take us to the room where the two of them are staying."

The boss quickly replied, "Okay, okay, this way please."

......

At the end of the connecting corridor.

The boss pointed to a room and said, "This is the one."

Guan Feng asked, "After Li Dahai moved in, did anyone else move in?"

The owner shook his head and said, "Business has been slow these past two days. There are hardly any guests, and the rooms are all empty."

Guan Feng then looked at Director Bai and said, "Director Bai, let's apply to the technical department. Let's compare the information and see if it's Li Dahai and his accomplices."

Director Bai nodded and dialed Chen Xuewen's number.

Guan Feng put on shoe covers and gloves and began to examine the items carefully.

After a moment, he looked at the clean and tidy house and asked, "Did your people clean it?"

The owner nodded and said, "We always clean the next day to prevent guests from staying overnight."

Guan Feng sighed inwardly, then winked at Inspector Wang and said, "Where are the cleaning staff? Our officer needs to take their statement to see if they left anything behind."

The boss said, "I'll contact them right away."

Guan Feng then asked, "Who booked this room back then?"

The boss said, "Let me find it." He then opened his phone and found the check-in system software.

A message popped up a moment later.

Guan Feng glanced at it and frowned, saying, "A person from Hedong Province? Why would they come all this way? Xiang Dong, take this information and contact the bureau to see what's going on."

Li Xiangdong said, "Okay."

At this moment.

Chen Xuewen arrived at the scene with his technical team.

After exchanging pleasantries, I got down to work, conducting a thorough inspection of everything from the bed to the floor, from the wardrobe to the teacups.
