Bai Qianmo watched the surveillance footage of Lan Xiaoxiao's death again.
First, a massage therapist came to her door, but after knocking several times without response, she took out her phone from her bag and dialed the hotel front desk.
They then tried knocking on the door a few more times, but still no one came to open it.
A short while later, two hotel managers came over.
After listening to the masseur's account, the two staff members also tried knocking on the door, but after waiting for about five or six minutes, no one came to open it.
For the safety of the guests, the staff contacted the monitoring room and confirmed that the guests were indeed in the room. At this point, one of the older staff members seemed to realize something.
Several more phone calls were made in quick succession.
A few moments later, several people rushed over, and one of them, a middle-aged woman, took out a key card from the pocket of her suit uniform.
I swiped my phone on the sensor under the doorknob, and the door opened immediately.
The middle-aged woman was the first to enter the room, followed by a terrified scream, and the others rushed in after her.
Hearing the commotion, guests in the other rooms also came out of their rooms.
Upon hearing that someone had died, a large crowd had gathered in the corridor in no time, and some of the bolder individuals even ventured into the room.
Bai Qianmo fixed the surveillance video on the screen in front of her.
"After Lan Xiaoxiao's body was discovered, the surrounding tenants also rushed to see what was going on. This was the noisiest time, and if the murderer took the opportunity to blend into the crowd, it would have been an easy thing to do."
Team Leader Qi nodded in agreement: "Your guess is correct. This is the easiest time to blend in with the real person. The murderer must be among this group of people. Who could it be?"
Bai Qianmo analyzed, "Judging from the fact that this person was able to fake Lan Xiaoxiao's suicide, he is meticulous and has a strong counter-surveillance ability. So at this time, when everyone is paying attention to the deceased, his turning away would only expose himself."
"Therefore, he will pretend to be a spectator and not be in a hurry to leave immediately."
Bai Qianmo's gaze swept quickly over the group of people, and when it settled on one of the men, her calm and aloof eyes trembled slightly.
"It's him!"
Team Leader Qi looked at Bai Qianmo with a bewildered expression: "Why do you say it's him?"
Bai Qianmo chuckled: "After the news of Lan Xiaoxiao's death spread, a total of 87 guests came to see what was going on. 67 of them were wearing bathrobes, and the remaining 20 were wearing their own clothes. The murderer wouldn't deliberately change into a bathrobe before committing the murder. There are 21 people in the crowd wearing their own clothes. So, one of them is the real murderer."
"But 21 people is quite a lot, how can you be so sure it's this person?"
"What you should be doing now is finding this person as soon as possible," Gu Jueye interjected.
Team Leader Qi chuckled twice, suppressing the restless curiosity in his heart.
He instructed his subordinates: "Investigate the person in the video, and also investigate the cleaning lady."
"yes!"
That night, the snow fell heavily, as if to wash away the vicissitudes of time, but no one in the Yucheng Hotel was in the mood to appreciate the beautiful snow scene.
The news that a young girl had committed suicide in the hotel quickly spread to all the guests in Yucheng Hotel.
Many guests requested to cancel their reservations.
The accommodation cost several thousand yuan per night. I originally just wanted to come here to soak in a hot spring and have a short vacation, but I never expected to encounter this kind of bad luck.
