Chapter 29
After sending him to the hotel entrance, Jiang Youqi asked, "Can you do it yourself?"
"It's okay. It's broad daylight. I'm not afraid." Gu Tanxi unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
"Okay then, call me if you have anything."
"Yeah." Gu Tanxi got out of the car, waved to him and left.
Someone had just died, and the guests in the hotel who knew the news quickly checked out.
There is no one in the hotel lobby now. The Internet is so developed now. Any little thing will be known to the whole network. Guests dare not stay here.
The hotel owner and the lobby manager were staring at each other at the front desk, looking worried.
Gu Tanxi went over and showed his ID.
The boss's eyes lit up. "Excuse me, have you found out how the person died? Since you guys from the Supernatural Bureau are here, then this is a supernatural case? How did the murderer kill people? What kind of supernatural power did he have? That person didn't deliberately target our hotel, did he?"
Gu Tanxi: "It's not clear yet, so I can't say anything. There will be news soon. I'll go up and take a look."
"Okay, I'll take you upstairs." The boss had nothing to do, so he led Gu Tanxi upstairs.
When they arrived at the room where the crime occurred, the boss didn't dare to go in because the door was still sealed.
Gu Tanxi went in by himself, and the boss said outside the door: "Then I won't disturb you anymore."
"Well, I'll see for myself."
After the boss left, Gu Tanxi was the only one left on this floor.
It was so quiet that Gu Tanxi could clearly hear his own breathing.
She stood in front of the landline phone in the cabinet.
Take out your phone to look at the photos you took.
There is a picture in one of the reports, which is a directional map for detecting supernatural power fluctuations.
Judging from the picture, the place with the strongest supernatural power fluctuations is near the landline, which is where the deceased is lying.
And the other place is the balcony.
Gu Tanxi walked out to the balcony based on the on-site investigation results and Duan Jiaheng's confession.
They had locked the sliding door to the balcony.
There are no other windows in the room except the sliding door to the balcony.
In addition, no one had entered at that time and the door was locked until the police arrived.
That crime scene is equivalent to a locked room homicide.
Gu Tanxi stood on the balcony and looked down.
It’s so high! This is the 31st floor, more than a hundred meters from the ground. Looking down, she feels dizzy.
Could the murderer have been standing on the balcony and shot the victim to death from a distance?
So how does he escape?
Can fly? Invisible?
Gu Tanxi suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around, looked around, and quickly came into the house.
If the other party could become invisible, he might still be by her side.
What a scary thought.
Fortunately, she looked around and didn't find any suspicious little Q people.
Scare yourself.
After a while, Gu Tanxi felt a little bolder and walked out to the balcony to look again.
Around the balcony, there are air conditioner outdoor units, drainage pipes, and electrical boxes.
There is nothing else besides this.
It was not the front desk who called the deceased. The criminal police investigated and found that the call came from a telephone booth.
The location is in a small town 300 kilometers away from Anshi.
There used to be a fishing village nearby, but it is now abandoned and the original inhabitants have moved to the city to live in apartments.
Therefore, for the time being, it is impossible to determine the specific coordinates of the telephone booth.
Why would someone call from a phone booth so far away?
Why did the deceased die the moment he picked up the phone?
My brain was shattered into a pulp by an unknown force.
Could it be that the unknown power is coming from the telephone line?
Gu Tanxi was frightened by his own imagination. If someone had such a weird ability, it would be easy for him to kill people.
Fortunately, everyone uses mobile phones now, and it is no longer the era when every household uses landlines.
Gu Tanxi suddenly thought of something and called Liu Minyu.
Liu Minyu: "Xiao Gu, what's the matter?"
"Can we have someone come to the Yue'an Hotel to test the supernatural power fluctuations?"
"Did you discover anything?"
"I want to verify something."
"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Li to bring the equipment over. Please wait a moment."
"OK."
After Gu Tanxi hung up the phone, he sat down on the sofa in the room and waited for Xiao Li.
The little Q person in the room was also bored and started chattering.
As they talked, they started talking about things in bed.
The little Q-man on the bed is still imitating the posture.
Gu Tanxi was amused.
"Does anyone really do this pose? Wouldn't it be exhausting? It's so difficult, you have to practice yoga for years before you can do it."
The bedside Q person: "I'm not kidding you, there are all kinds of weird positions. There was once a group of people who came here to play together. One by one, they could form a circle around the city. It was like a perpetual motion machine."
"Poof... perpetual motion machine... hahahaha..."
Gu Tanxi imagined the scene in his mind: everyone formed a circle, moving at the same frequency, and it really seemed as if the gears could keep moving forever.
But this scene is really weird.
If we all play together, we will be arrested, right?
Gu Tanxi poked the little Q figure on the bed and said, "You know too much."
The little Q person on the bed looked helpless: "I don't want to either. I'm forced to look at them every day. Tsk, I can appreciate those with good figures, but do you know how disgusting it is to see a big piece of fat flying there?"
"I don't know... I've never seen it." Gu Tanxi laughed.
"Oh, if I die one day, it must be because my eyes are burned to death."
"You've worked so hard." Gu Tanxi replied flatteringly.
Xiao Li happened to be outside the door carrying an instrument, and thought Gu Tanxi was talking about him.
He immediately said with a smile: "I am not tired. I don't believe in hard work."
Gu Tanxi decisively shut up and stopped talking to the little guy.
"Xiao Li, can you measure the supernatural power fluctuations at this location? Is it the same as before?" Gu Tanxi said, pointing near the landline.
"Okay." Xiao Li put the box on the ground, turned on the machine, and started the test.
The two stood aside and waited for the result.
The blue circle of light flickered in the air for about twenty minutes.
There are results.
Xiao Li came over to look at the data on the display screen.
"Hey, there are no supernatural power fluctuations here."
Gu Tanxi pointed to the balcony and said, "Over there?"
Xiao Li moved the machine out again.
Another twenty minutes passed.
"It's still here, but the concentration is different from before."
"Can you get closer to this wire box and test it again? I want to know if the energy fluctuations in this wire box are stronger."
Xiao Li guessed: "Are you suspecting that the killing power came from the phone line?"
"Well, let's try it out."
Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise, "I've never heard of this ability before, and I've never even thought about it. Is there really someone who has it?"
"There are a lot of strange superpowers nowadays, it's very likely that they really exist."
"Let's take a look at the results." Xiao Li took out a small detection head from the instrument and clamped it on the outside of the wire box.
Wait twenty minutes.
It was found that the energy fluctuation in the wire box was the largest, and the energy fluctuation on the balcony was significantly lower than when it was first measured.
The supernatural fluctuations in the room have now disappeared.
What this test can confirm is that the murderous power really comes from the telephone line.
In the locked room murder case five years ago, although there was no landline in the room, there was an Internet cable, and the three children were playing games.
If the two cases have the same modus operandi.
The murderous intent was accurately conveyed to Wu Yuni through a phone call.
So what about playing games?
Gu Tanxi: "Go back, Xiao Li."
"good."
Xiao Li drove here, and Gu Tanxi took a ride with him back to the bureau and told Xie Bei about his new discovery.
Xu Shaolin joined their discussion, and they thought that three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.
As he was speaking, Xie Bei slammed the table and said, "Playing online games! Go check if the game they were playing was online. If murderous intent can be transmitted through the line, then answering the phone is the same as starting an online game."
Gu Tanxi and Xu Shaolin don't play games much anymore.
Xie Bei plays the game often and is quite knowledgeable about it.
So, the investigation into the case five years ago, including what games the three children were playing and with whom, was handed over to Xie Bei.
Xu Shaolin served tea and biscuits to Gu Tanxi.
"Gu Shen, please come to our team. We need you."
"It's the same wherever I am. If you need me, I will come and help you." Gu Tanxi replied with a smile.
She had already seen Fang Lingjian looking at her outside the office.
"Captain Fang, do you have any instructions?" Gu Tanxi came out with a small biscuit and handed it to Fang Lingjian, "Please have some."
Xu Shaolin curled his lips, but his boss was not helpful enough.
Fang Lingjian took the biscuit, waved to Xu Shaolin, and took him away while talking to Gu Tanxi.
Xu Shaolin sighed.

"I found some battle videos of senior Wood-type psychics. Take them back and watch them carefully. The use of psychic powers still depends on your own understanding. The same type of psychic powers can be used differently by different people. You need to coordinate well with your psychic powers. You will get a tacit understanding with more practice."
Fang Lingjian gave Gu Tanxi a USB flash drive.
Gu Tanxi held the USB drive and clasped his hands together and bowed to him.
"Thank you, Captain Fang. Captain Fang, you are so kind."
"No need to thank me. When you become strong, serve the people well." Fang Lingjian patted Gu Tanxi's shoulder.
Gu Tanxi suddenly felt his blood boiling again.
"I certainly will."
The pride of walking on the bright road rises from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
Gu Tanxi didn't expect that he had such a sense of justice.
She used to think that she was just an ordinary girl.
Now, she has a different understanding of life.
Gu Tanxi took the USB drive and turned back to his office.
As I passed the stairs, I saw a middle-aged couple walking in.
They were anxious and sad. When they saw the people downstairs, they grabbed them and asked, "Hello, we are Wu Yuni's parents. I heard that the man she was with is here. Can we meet him?"
"Uncle and aunt, please come with me to the reception room and sit for a while. I need to ask my leader for instructions." Xiao Li looked at the two of them with concern.
The daughter I raised with great difficulty is now studying for a bachelor's and master's degree, and can be considered an excellent student.
I went to a large group for internship right after graduation, and just got hired as a full-time employee. I am just about to start a good life.
The person just disappeared like that.
Gu Tanxi stood by the stairs, reducing his presence.
Watching Xiao Li take the two of them upstairs and into the reception room.
She thought of her family. If something happened to her, her family, except for her younger brothers and sisters, would shed tears for her, no one else would, right?
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Youqi's voice suddenly appeared, and Gu Tanxi was startled.
The USB flash drive in my hand fell to the ground.
Jiang Youqi bent down and picked it up. "What's in this?"
"Team Fang gave me the battle video of a senior with wood-type superpowers. I want to learn some self-defense skills." Gu Tanxi took the USB drive from him.
"Your dual skills require a lot of ability index. Eight thousand points are occupied by the other skill. I guess the wood skill will not be able to spare a thousand points."
Jiang Youqi saw through her easily.
Gu Tanxi said helplessly: "Yeah, I never thought I would use wood-type skills to fight before, so I didn't care about its weakness, but now it's different, Captain Jiang, can the ability index still increase?"
"Yes, but you have to wait until the secret realm opens before you can go in and practice."
"What is the secret realm?"
"Just look it up online and you'll find out. I'm going home. Are you leaving? I'll take you there."
Gu Tanxi looked at the office door, it seemed that she had nothing to do now.
She caught up with Jiang Youqi, "Is it on the way?"
"Smooth."
＊
Wu Yuni's parents waited in the reception room for a while.
Xu Shaolin came over.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry, that gentleman doesn't want to see you two."
Wu Yuni's parents stood up. Shen Cuilan came over and took Xu Shaolin's hand and said, "Is that man the murderer of my daughter?"
"Auntie, there is no evidence to prove that he is the murderer. We are still investigating the murderer. I will tell you the first time I have any news. Auntie, I have a question for you two. Have you met your daughter's boyfriend?" Xu Shaolin asked.
The couple looked unhappy. Their daughter had a boyfriend, but she checked into a hotel room with another man and he died.
They really don't want to talk about such embarrassing things.
Chen Cuilan nodded and said, "Yes, they are college classmates and have been dating for many years... They originally planned to get married within the next two years... I don't think about my daughter... But I haven't seen her boyfriend in the past six months. I don't know if they broke up and are hiding it from us... I just called him, but he didn't answer..."
Xu Shaolin said: "We have contacted him. He is on a business trip and should be able to arrive tomorrow."
"My daughter has no enemies. She is very well-behaved, gentle and kind. She gets along well with her classmates and friends. There is no need to worry about her. Did the murderer want to kill that man and kill my daughter by mistake?" Shen Cuilan thought of many possibilities.
She suspected everyone, but her daughter was really popular and friendly to everyone.
There shouldn't be any enemies who want to kill her.
"That's possible, but we're still in the detection phase, so we can't say too much. We'll let you know once we have the results. You should go back today and have a good rest. I'll have someone take you back."
"No need, we can go back by ourselves." Shen Cuilan lowered her head haggardly, and Wu Jie came over to support his wife.
He was so sad that he felt weak all over and couldn't even cry.
Xu Shaolin sent the two of them to the door of the Supernatural Bureau.
After watching them get on the car, I returned to the bureau.
Duan Jiaheng walked out with a very ugly look on his face.
He is not a suspect now and can go home after giving his statement.
But before the case is solved, he has to stay in Anshi and cooperate with the investigation at any time.
Xu Shaolin patted his shoulder and said, "You should be more careful recently."
"I will, thank you. Please tell me as soon as you catch the murderer, okay?" Duan Jiaheng asked pitifully.
"must."
Duan Jiaheng left dejectedly.
He was shocked by the thought that the woman he had just slept with was dead like this.
He felt like he was about to wither.
