Along with the sounds of flesh colliding were heavy, labored breathing sounds and the screech of bodies against the floor.
The problem is that this isn't where the ring-ring boy is. Their war ended a long time ago; that kid just lit a cigarette and is puffing away.
"It's so frustrating. My good mood was ruined by these two disgusting things."
As a straight man, it's normal to have a strong sexual orientation. The series of actions of these two people showed him how open-minded and tolerant foreigners are.
"If I can't afford to mess with you, I can at least avoid you... You guys have fun, goodbye."
He finally breathed a sigh of relief after turning off the hearing monitoring for the two of them. "What the hell is this? It's disgusting."
Although it was said to be shut down, you could still hear some sounds, but Gao Feng didn't focus on that, so their voices went in one ear and out the other.
However, these sounds are still backed up in his database, so he can retrieve them and listen to them again if he becomes interested someday.
On the contrary, the boy with the thumb ring was more harmonious. The two of them, a man and a woman, were joking and flirting. What impressed Gao Feng was that the beautiful woman's English skills were far superior to his.
The two spoke and the one listened, creating a harmonious scene. However, such harmonious scenes are always destined to be broken.
A police siren sounded from afar and soon stopped at the Four Seasons Hotel, followed by hurried footsteps.
Some people took the elevator, while others used the emergency exits; the entire Four Seasons Hotel was completely surrounded.
Gao Ang originally wanted to go out and take a look, but when he reached the door and was about to open it, he stopped in his tracks.
He heard a familiar voice, the owner of which he had once fought with.
It was only then that he realized there might be a big problem here, possibly even involving lives. Otherwise, why would Liu Zhuo and his group have come, and why would they have brought so many people with them?
It took him 15 minutes to find out what had happened.
The boy with the thumb ring had a violent argument with one of his friends in one of his rooms. The two fought fiercely, and both ended up with bloodied heads.
The smell of blood in the room was noticed by other colleagues who were passing by. They called a cleaner, and when they opened the door, they found the room in a complete mess.
Both of them had long since stopped breathing, but their wide-open eyes revealed just how unwilling they had been to accept their fate.
Although Liu Zhuo was young, he had been in the system for quite some time. He sealed off the scene, interviewed eyewitnesses and took statements, and arranged all the tasks in an orderly manner.
Because foreign nationals were involved, the municipal police took the matter very seriously. Even Xia Weiwei, who had been resting, arrived at the scene an hour after the incident.
Cao Kun, who had been suspended, was recalled, while Liu Zhuo could only continue to work as an assistant.
Cao Kun arranged for a series of tasks, including sealing off the scene, retrieving surveillance footage, questioning witnesses, and investigating social connections.
Gao Yang, who had not yet been identified, huddled in his suite on the seventh floor, trembling with fear, caught in a dilemma.
If we go, we'll probably get blocked as soon as we leave; if we don't go, he won't be able to escape either.
Just as he was caught in a dilemma, there was a knock on the door.
He knew without even opening the door that it was Xia Weiwei knocking, because he was very familiar with her perfume.
It's light and refreshing, a fragrance he particularly likes.
"Is it really you?"
Xia Weiwei frowned slightly. When she saw the name 'Gao Gao' in the hotel booking record, she thought it was someone with the same name.
Now, she recognized him immediately upon meeting him; he was Gao Feng, the man she knew well.
"Officer Xia, what brings you here?"
Since he had been recognized, Gao Ang could only pretend he knew nothing. He rubbed his eyes, yawned, and pretended to have just woken up.
"Name, age, occupation, address".
Strictly adhering to the rules, Xia Weiwei showed no leniency. Although she didn't believe Gao Feng was the murderer, she was still happy to find an opportunity to make things difficult for him.
"Gao Ang, 25 years old, unemployed, address is XXX..."
After asking the question rationally, Xia Weiwei turned and left. The other police officer following behind her scratched his head, feeling a bit confused. He felt that the two knew each other, but their conversation made it seem like they didn't.
Now that this has happened, staying any longer probably won't be of any use.
The boy with the thumb ring is named Robert, and Gao Ang has already memorized the name when he asked him earlier.
After checking out of the hotel and returning to the car, Xiao Hua rolled around on the seat out of boredom. When she saw the car door open, she jumped out and immediately found a spot to pee, probably because she had been holding it in for a while.
I checked the time; it was around 1 a.m.
Just as he was about to drive away, Cao Kun called him back.
After such a serious incident at the hotel, the hotel manager used a presidential suite as a temporary command center so that the city police could solve the case quickly, otherwise the losses would be enormous.
The Four Seasons Hotel Pudong is located in a high-tech park, in a relatively bustling area.
Most importantly, it's not far from the subway station, and there are several newly built shopping malls nearby, so the foot traffic is very high.
It's not a good thing for the police to linger at the scene for even one more day.
What are you doing in Pudong in the middle of the night?
Cao Kun called Gao Ang into a room and asked with a frown.
"Ahem, aren't you familiar with this place? Men have to go to the bathroom sometimes, you know."
The reason had to be fabricated; she couldn't very well say that she suspected Robert and came to investigate alone.
"Tell me honestly, are you involved in the deaths of those two men?" Cao Kun cut to the chase, getting straight to the point.
"Absolutely not. I only started following them from the gate of their factory area. We didn't have any close contact. You can check the surveillance footage if you don't believe me."
Since Senior Brother Cao Kun had already asked this question, Gao Ang was very frank and directly revealed his whereabouts.
If those two people hadn't died, it wouldn't have mattered much whether he followed them or not.
The problem is that those two people are dead. Whether it was a fight that resulted in death or murder, it involved human lives. Unsurprisingly, all the surveillance footage along their route has been retrieved.
His MINI and his loitering around the factory gate will definitely not escape the camera's coverage, so he might as well just be straightforward.
"I've checked the surveillance footage. You were sneaking around behind them. What were you up to? And you stayed there for so long."
"Would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?"
"I don't believe you. If you can't explain yourself, you'll be heading to the police station. Based on the surveillance footage, if this is a murder case, you're the prime suspect, the most suspicious one."
Cao Kun was also in a real bind. He had finally gotten back to work, but the first case he encountered involved a suspect who turned out to be his junior colleague.
Logically speaking, he and Xia Weiwei should avoid the situation, but it cannot be confirmed that those two people were murdered yet, so the process has not reached that stage.
If it is confirmed that it was murder, he, Xia Weiwei, and even Yan Bing will all have to recuse themselves.
"Don't try to fool me. I have nothing to hide. I've been in my room the whole time since we got to the hotel. I don't believe I can be in two places at once. Besides, those two guys are big and burly. Even if I had all sorts of reasons to harm them, could I beat them?"
He lit a cigarette for himself and handed one to his senior brother. "What exactly happened? How could two people fight each other to the death?"
"Who told you it was a case of mutual fighting resulting in death?"
Cao Kun, who had just taken the cigarette, immediately gave Gao Yang a wary look, making Gao Yang feel uneasy.
"I heard it from the waiter when I went downstairs."
Realizing he had let something slip, Gao Ang quickly found a scapegoat out of thin air.
After exhaling a smoke ring, Cao Kun didn't pursue the matter of the leak any further. "As long as it wasn't you, go back and rest. We'll take your statement at the station tomorrow."
"It's just a fight, does it have to be so complicated?"
“It’s absolutely necessary. These two are Americans, and you know the situation recently. We must investigate the whole incident thoroughly. We can’t leave out any of the necessary investigations. We can’t let those nitpicking bastards spread rumors.”
Cao Kun finished his cigarette in a few big puffs, shoved the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and pushed Gao Ang out the door.
Before leaving, Gao Ang gave him a suggestion, "Senior brother, if it was murder, Robert is a prime suspect. He seems to have been in those two people's room."
Robert has a deep connection with the ring, and he doesn't want to let the guy have an easy time until he finds out what that connection is.
"How do you know his name is Robert? How do you know he went into their room?"
Well, I've said too much again.
“I overheard it by chance while I was following them. If you don’t believe me, check the security footage.”
"Too much talk leads to mistakes," Gao Ang knew he couldn't say any more; the more he spoke, the more suspicious he would become.
"You guys keep busy, I'm going back now. I'll cook something nice for you at noon tomorrow. I reckon you'll be working all night."
As Gao Liang's figure gradually disappeared, Cao Kun crossed his arms, rubbed his chin, and frowned deeply.
"Xiao Liu, tell me your deduction."
"There were no signs of forced entry. The hallway surveillance footage shows only one person entered their room – their colleague Robert. However, Robert was only inside for less than five minutes, theoretically leaving him no time to commit the crime. Judging from the signs of a struggle at the scene, the two victims fought for at least half an hour. The fight extended from the doorway to near the window, and the methods were extremely brutal; every part of their bodies became a weapon – fists, feet, elbows, even teeth. Both had wounds on their necks, and judging from the shape, they were bite marks. Coincidentally, both bite marks were on the aorta. According to the preliminary forensic examination, their cause of death was excessive blood loss. Therefore, my conclusion is: the two fought violently for unknown reasons, biting each other's aortas, resulting in death from excessive blood loss, not homicide. Team leader, that's all."
Cao Kun nodded approvingly, patted Liu Zhuo on the shoulder, and said, "Well said, reasonable and well-founded, but will anyone believe us if we close the case like this?"
"Evidence is king, and at least for now, there's no evidence of homicide."
"Alright, it's getting late. Go back and rest. We'll look at the forensic report tomorrow."
