According to the original novel "Longmen Hotel" in the third issue of Deyun Douxiao Society: Yue Longgang Incident.

(1)

Time flies, and years pass in a blink of an eye.

seven years have passed in a flash, chasing the murderer in the white night, drunk and dreaming.

In the past seven years, under the guise of being a detective in Bingcheng Police Station, I have handed over and protected many patriots from all walks of life in my name.

among them.

dangers abound, and the tip of the knife is dangerous.

how many times I passed death by.

if you drink water, you will know when you are warm and cold.

although seven years of cold and summer have not brought a dawn.

but at least, there is hope.

I believe that after many years, this will be the spark to drive out the Tatars and restore China.

if so, you will die without regret.

September 5, 1931.

a normal afternoon.

I received a phone call from my childhood friend and now my immediate boss, Liu Xiaoye (ye), Liu Jingjian.

He said that there was a murder case in Longmen Hotel. The deceased was Cao Tailang, an important researcher in Oceania. He asked me to arrive at the crime scene before 13:2 to help.

I was instructed to change my clothes in a hurry and walked to the crime scene.

along the way, my heart lingered.

Longmen Hotel is not an idle place.

It is said in the Jianghu that you can find the land of Longmen in a thousand miles, and when you meet Jiang Yang, you ask feng du.

What I said means that the Longmen Hotel is extremely complicated.

Three religions and nine streams are mixed together.

Underground organizations, Jianghu chivalrous people, celebrities, dignitaries, in short, there are all kinds of places, and they have access to Longmen Hotel.

is the international intelligence organization that I secretly work for, and there are also hidden piles under the Longmen Hotel.

although we haven't met for many years.

However, information exchange, uploading and issuing are often through this channel.

As such a place of fish and dragons, intelligence information naturally extends in all directions, so it has been a special place for secret monitoring by the Ice City Police Station since the past.

for seven years, the dark tide is surging, but nothing has gone wrong.

and this time, there was a sudden murder storm.

I was thinking.

is it related to the organization?

(3)

Thinking all the way, I arrived at Longmen Hotel early at about 13:18.

after a brief greeting with the police chief, I began to inquire about the case.

after understanding, the whole story of the crime is roughly as follows.

around 12: 3 noon.

Meng Xianghui, a comprador from Oceania, organized a dinner in the lobby of Longmen Hotel.

The people attending the dinner are as follows:

Meng Xianghui, comprador of Oceania.

Professor Cao Tailang of Oceanian Biology.

Zhou Hang, a famous Peking Opera star in Bingcheng, is red in February.

Yan Jingyu, a writer who graduated from Qingchang University majoring in comparative literature.

Liu Xiaoye, police chief of Oceania Ice City Police Station.

Among them, the writer Yan Jingyu and the comprador Meng Xianghui of Oceania just met this morning.

The famous actress February Red was specially invited to attend because she was very popular with Professor Cao.

As for Liu Jingjian, he was secretly appointed by the Oceania military to protect Professor Cao.

During the dinner, Zhou Hang once sang a song "Huai River Camp" in February.

It is highly praised by Professor Cao.

To show his concern, Professor Cao specially took out his own special sleeping pills and gave them to February Red, who is known for insomnia, to make friends.

February Hong herself also expressed her gratitude.

the atmosphere is very pleasant.

But after the first round of toasting, Mr. Yan showed his inability to drink, and he was the first to leave, which caused the professor a burst of dissatisfaction.

but then the professor also expressed a little dizziness and asked to go back to his room to rest, so the wine shop gave up.

In order to fully consider the safety of the professor, the police chief offered to personally accompany the professor back to his room, but the professor insisted on not allowing it, saying that Longmen Hotel, the territory of Oceania, needed such protection.

so go back to your room alone.

at this time, it is about 12:5 noon.

according to the testimony provided by the concierge Chong-Un Cheong.

about 12:55.

the professor came to the front desk to check in.

it will be completed in about 5 minutes.

13: p.m.

Accompanied by the concierge, the professor returned to his room.

meanwhile, he Jian, a resident, passed by the front desk.

About five minutes later, for the safety of the professor, the police chief decided to visit the professor's room. When he arrived at the second floor, he passed Chong-Un Cheong, the concierge who was in a hurry.

The captain didn't think too much. He arrived at the door of the professor's room and knocked on the door many times. No one answered, so he called the concierge to open the door quickly.

13:1 p.m.

The door opened and the professor was found dead in his room.

In a panic, the captain ordered the Longmen Hotel to be blocked immediately and the murderer to be investigated.

after a preliminary alibi investigation, the suspect was locked in the following eight people.

Meng xianghui, comprador of Oceania.

Zhou Hang, a famous Peking Opera star in Bingcheng, is red in February.

writer Yan jingyu.

Yu gong he Jian.

Luan Bo, the lobby manager.

Longmen Hotel concierge Chong-Un Cheong.

local tyrant Zhang Limin.

Running solo helps Qin Kaixuan.

oversight has ordered that the real murderer must be found today, otherwise, the case handlers in the police station will be arrested and sent to the mysterious laboratory, hell to pay!

(4)

After hearing the story.

I gently pinch my forehead and try to arrange all the clues.

as far as the current situation is concerned.

Chong-Un Cheong, the concierge of Longmen Hotel who appeared near the crime scene before the crime, is obviously suspected of committing a crime.

However, Chong-Un Cheong's identity is vague.

His motive for killing is also uncertain.

If it is because of the collusion of interests within the ocean, it is a killing action.

of course, I can deduce the real murderer without scruple.

But if he is just an ordinary China person, he will be angry and fight for righteousness at the moment. Or, like me, I am an underground worker who runs for the dawn under the dark night, so I can't tell the truth, but should help secretly.

although, it may risk your life.

But in the past seven years, the knife bit licked the blood. When will it be peaceful again?

after all, you need this blue sky to raise your own flag.

I hope to see that day.

but I don't mind giving my life for that day.

So, after thinking for a moment, I decided to tell the police chief that as far as the clues at present are concerned, I can't judge the murderer's candidate. If I want to catch the real murderer with one blow, I need more evidence as support.

Finally, I sold a secret, and I said,

My intuition tells me that this matter is not simple.

after seven years of * * *, teenagers met, and the police chief trusted my ability very much.

after hearing my answer, I also made arrangements immediately.

First, I will go to the crime scene and each person's room to search for relevant material evidence clues, and at the same time, the police forensic doctor will provide me with necessary help.

Secondly, he locked all the suspects in a room and asked them to interrogate each other to recruit a murderer.

the captain will be responsible for monitoring the whole conversation.

Of course, this does not include Meng Xianghui, the comprador of Oceania. He has a special position, and his search warrant needs the approval of a higher level.

After that, I will interrogate everyone in turn according to the order of their confessions, so as to find out the whereabouts of the real murderer.

of course, this is not an effective way to solve the case.

under the premise that it is impossible to judge whether there is the possibility of * * * committing crimes, locking everyone together is tantamount to providing them with opportunities for communication.

However, I didn't stop him. I need such a "smart" method to give me some time to make a judgment before I can figure out the general outline of the case.

14: p.m.

I parted ways with the captain and came to the crime scene with the assistant pie.

(5)

The forensic doctor has finished the autopsy.

After examination, it was found that there was an obvious fatal wound in the neck of the deceased. According to the wound, it should be the fracture of cervical vertebra and cervical spinal cord injury caused by closed neck injury caused by blunt violence, and the respiratory tract was forced to cause death.

in layman's terms, it was strangled.

judging from the type of scar, it should not be rough items such as hemp rope.

According to the clothing fibers in the neck of the deceased and the struggle marks of the deceased at the scene.

Basically, it can be presumed that he was strangled alive with silk fabrics or arms wearing silk fabrics.

At the same time, after examination, there were sleeping pills left in the body of the deceased, according to the special sleeping pills found in the room.

this sleeping pill takes effect about fifteen minutes after taking it.

I nodded and asked,

So, it happened before 13:5? After all, if you really fainted and laid hands on him, there should be no signs of struggle, right?

The forensic doctor shook his head:

This is a specific medicine that has just been developed, and the specific efficacy needs to be proved after experiments. After all, our pharmaceutical industry in Oceania bought a box of antidiarrheal drugs last time, and even put croton in the formula, this night ...

I saw the forensic doctor and smiled gently:

Just go out, I want to continue.

the forensic doctor seriously promised to come down and say' hi'! He left with his assistant.

Only my assistant and I are left in the room.

(6)

Pie has been my assistant since my first day at work.

But in fact, I know very well in my heart that he is just my childhood friend's immediate boss, the police chief, and he is just a person sent to monitor me.

Although it sounds good on the surface, it is said that Yue Longgang and Liu Xiaoye are friends in Taoyuan, and they are brothers who have lived and died.

but secretly, he never let his guard down on me.

that's right.

he trusts my ability.

but he never believed that I would really betray my country for glory.

in fact, he didn't guess wrong either.

It's just that I've been pretending to be a snake for years. I didn't reveal my identity, and naturally he won't suddenly tear off his face.

gentlemen and villains, think about it.

Of course, if one day, when he learns my true identity, I believe he will shoot me mercilessly.

from beginning to end, I never believed in the love of Taoyuan.

So, for seven years, I just used pie as a tool to convey news for me. In front of him, I will be a conscientious Oceania inspector.

I will live as he and Liu Xiaoye need me to live.

But behind him, I am the real me, the' spring cicada' who has been lurking for seven years and quietly moved under the eternal night.

So, I pretended to be serious and analyzed:

As far as the results of forensic examination are concerned, we can basically reduce the time of committing the crime to a very small range, from 13: to 13: 5, that is, the approximate time of the crime. You can tell the police chief this news, which I believe will be helpful to the trial.

yes, I want to distract him and think calmly for a while.

But the pie, as usual, was expressionless and just said to me in a low voice:

I think Mr. Forensic will tell the police chief this important news. My task is to assist you in site investigation and room search. I believe you need my help.

I looked at the pie, and the cold light in my eyes passed away. I was angry, but I didn't say much. I just nodded gently and took him to start the field investigation.

(7)

The doors and windows on the site are locked.

in other words, this should be a murder case in the secret room.

but what makes people laugh and cry is.

It should have been a very complicated secret room scene, because the appearance of a mysterious footprint on the windowsill made us directly clear the direction of escape.

in other words, the technique of the secret room should be related to the window.

I tried to fiddle with the iron lock of the window.

I found traces of slightly blocked glue. Combined with the bottle of Oceania Julius glue that has not been screwed to death on my desk, I seem to think of the modus operandi of the murderer's secret room.

but ... it doesn't look like a well-thought-out secret room at all.

Can a secret room that can be cracked at a glance be a planned murder case?

I shook my head. Obviously, this was an unplanned passionate murder, and this so-called secret room technique was just a poor work when the murderer fled in haste.

In this case, the motive of committing the crime will inevitably be related to the conflict.

And conflicts like this are bound to break out completely in a very short time.

only in this way will it constitute an impulse to kill.

at that time, I had a lot of guesses, but I couldn't reveal any feelings in front of the pie, so I just asked him to print a footprint on the windowsill. Then, a person walked out of the room and looked at the corridor on the second floor.

(8)

According to the plan obtained before.

there are eighteen rooms on the first floor.

among them, there are seven rooms where the suspects are staying.

There are two rooms on the left.

212 and 21 respectively.

Room 21: solo help Qin Kaixuan.

Room 212: Lobby Manager Luan Bo and Longmen Hotel Concierge.

five rooms on the right.

21, 27, 29, 213 and 215 respectively.

room 21: the deceased professor Cao.

room 27: writer Yan jingyu.

Room 29: Zhou Hang, the famous corner of the Ice City in February.

room 213: mysterious local tyrant Zhang Limin.

room 215: Yu gong he Jian.

From a geographical point of view, the writer closest to Professor Cao's room obviously has better conditions.

But considering the ridiculous secret room technique, the writer's suspicion is reduced to a minimum.

On the contrary, He Jian, a hermit, and Zhang Limin, a mysterious local tyrant, are even more suspected.

However, according to the means of committing the crime, it seems that the location of the room is not an inevitable factor.

it can only be said that it has certain influence on the case.

maybe, some people saw something.

including the truth.

(9)

I put away my thoughts, and the pie has already spread its footprints.

He and I searched every room carefully, and the results were not unexpected, and we didn't find any useful clues.

After all, few people leave evidence in their rooms when they commit crimes with passion.

plus time is so tight, it may be safer to leave it with you.

I spit out a sigh and scored 12 points.
