After cordoning off the crime scene and taking the body back, Tang Ze drove the police car brought by Shancun Cao and took Shancun Cao and others down the mountain to the Chishu Hotel where they were staying.
Originally, Shancuncao planned to drive, but Tangze was really worried about leaving his life to this unreliable guy on the mountain road at night.
Even though the mountain road was relatively flat, Tang Ze didn't want to take any risks, so he took the steering wheel decisively on the pretext that the other party didn't know the way, and took personal responsibility for his own life.
Because the only people known to have contact with the deceased here, apart from Tang Ze and others who had only met once and helped leave a message, was the unknown netizen who lived in the hotel, so after arriving at the hotel, Yamamura Cao immediately revealed his identity and found the owner of the hotel.
"W-What? There are 53 guests staying at this hotel!?"
After briefly explaining the situation, Yamamura Cao learned from the hotel owner how many people were staying at the hotel. His expression changed drastically: "How could there be so many guests staying at the hotel all at once!?"
"Yes, thanks to you." The boss with glasses and a kind face smiled and nodded politely.
"Then I wonder how many people came to stay this morning?"
Tang Ze looked at Yamamura So and explained, "I remember the deceased once said that he received an email from that fan saying that he checked in at this hotel this morning.
So there's no need to check all of them, just the passengers who checked in this morning."
"Please, please find the check-in list." Shancun Cao on the side turned his head and looked at the boss and asked for help.
"Let me see..."
The boss found the room registration book and turned to the latest page: "If you check in this morning, these three guests are staying here."
"As expected, you still can't escape the rule of 'choose one of the three classics'..."
Tang Ze complained in his heart as he took the registration book and looked at the three names on it.
Shancuncao, who was standing by, looked at the boss and asked, "Could you please call these three to come to the hall? Thank you."
"This..." The boss looked embarrassed, "After all, he is a guest..."
"We have a murder case here, please be flexible, boss!" Shancuncao was not arrogant at all. Upon hearing this, he immediately put his hands together and begged the other party.
"In fact, the sooner we close the case, the better it will be for you, boss."
Tang Ze on the side began to explain the pros and cons: "Don't forget that the murder happened on the mountain where the last scene of "Winter Maple Red" was filmed. The tourists in the hotel now are all here for this, right?
If we can't solve the case in time, tourists will definitely know about it. I don't think anyone would want to visit a place where a murder took place.
Boss, the faster you cooperate with us to close the case, the less impact we can have, what do you think?"
"I understand."
The boss panicked for a moment after hearing Tang Ze's words, but his attitude became much more positive: "I'll contact them right away."
Compared with the overall travel market environment, the three guests' slight dissatisfaction is not worth mentioning. This is a choice that any normal person would make.
Tang Ze and Yamamura Cao waited for a while, and a man with a long horse face, long hair, and a bathrobe came over. Tang Ze even noticed that the other party had a nose ring.
"What's the matter? It's really annoying!" The man scratched his chest with an impatient look.
"This is Mr. Isamu Okuma." The boss introduced in a low voice.
"Sit down first and wait for the other two. I'll explain everything."
Tang Ze looked at Okuma Isamu calmly. The man who had been impatient before met Tang Ze's calm eyes, but for some reason he couldn't say a word of dissatisfaction.
After a while, a fat old man came out and complained: "Why are criminals disturbing people in the middle of the night..."
Following the old man out was a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner.
When Tang Ze saw the two people, he immediately recognized that the fat and amiable old man with glasses was Watanuki Tatsuzo, and the last one was the man named "Han".
Well, this should be the name of this foreigner. The last name he wrote on the registration book was too connected, and Tang Ze (the author) couldn’t see it, so I just called the suspect "Han".
"I'm really sorry, but I still want to ask you three, where were you three around five in the evening and what were you doing?"
Shancuncao has a good temper, which is actually very helpful in communicating with the suspects. After all, "don't hit a smiling person."
After hearing what Shancuncao said, even though the three of them were unhappy, they still answered his questions one by one.
"I'm sleeping in the room." Okuma Isamu spoke first.
"I was taking a shower at the time." Watanuki Tatsuzo followed closely behind.
"I went for a walk around here," said the blond man named "Han."
"I wonder if there is anything that can prove it for you?" Shancun Cao took a notebook and wrote down the words of the three people.
But unfortunately, Okuma Isamu was sleeping alone in the house, Watanuki Tatsuzo did not go to the hotel's hot spring, and even this conspicuous foreigner did not meet anyone on his way of walking.
In other words, none of the three could help prove whether what they said was true.
Tang Ze was not surprised by this situation. After all, fifty suspects were killed at once, forcing the "classic three-choice" situation. None of the three would be able to clear their suspicion easily.
Otherwise, if a passerby met a tall foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes, he would definitely have an impression of him.
