Superstars start with punch cards

Chapter 194 Hu splashes dirty water (two in one, please subscribe!)
Xiaobai tilted his head, looked at the fellow apprentices at the table, and asked his doubts.

"Excuse me, everyone, what are you doing at 21:[-]?"

Through the earphones and monitors, Liu Fan could hear the doubts in Xiaobai's words.

Finally at the critical moment, Liu Fan couldn't help but sit up straight, took another piece of blank paper, and prepared to compare the timeline of everyone's dictation with the timeline of his police investigation to see if anyone lied. Or is there something that could be added.

Someone will definitely lie, the key depends on whether Liu Fan and the others can dig out this liar.

In the conference room, Writer Yan squinted his little eyes, as if he was trying to recall the situation at that time, and slowly said his timeline:

"At twenty fifty, I had too much to drink, so I went back and went straight to bed."

He Jian also raised his hand and said, "I went into my room, and I never came out again until I was brought here by Shaobing."

"I have been staying at the gate to sign in." Finally, Zhang Mentong told his situation at that time.

Liu Fan quickly recorded on paper what everyone did during this time period.

"So who were in the restaurant at the time?"

Luan Dangdang glanced at the crowd and asked.

"How about this, people in the restaurant, raise your hand, let's take a look."

As Luan Dangdang's voice fell, he himself took the lead and raised his hand.

Following him are Zhang Xiaobai, Qin Kaixuan, and the famous actor Boss Zhou.

Luan Dangdang stood, looked around at the people who raised their hands, and suddenly added: "There is also a representative Meng, we were all together at the time!"

"The five of you didn't leave the restaurant just now, did you?"

Writer Yan looked at Luan Dangdang curiously and asked.

Luan Dangdang said helplessly and resentfully: "We didn't come out, we all stink in that room."

"That's over. Then you really don't have time to commit crimes. You can be excluded directly. It's impossible."

Writer Yan suddenly came to a conclusion and excluded the four people who raised their hands, plus the five people representing Meng.

Liu Fan listened to the voice of the conversation coming from the earphones, and his paper was already full of marks.

On Liu Fan's paper, Zhang Mentong, He Jian and Writer Yan were highlighted.

Because if according to what everyone said, the other five people stayed in the restaurant, then they would have no time to commit crimes during the five to ten minutes.

Some people may say, can't poison?
However, Liu Fan went to Professor Cao's room for investigation as soon as the case happened. There were obvious strangle marks on Professor Cao's neck. It was obvious that someone sneaked into Professor Cao's room while outsiders were not paying attention. "Killed" the professor.

Moreover, Liu Fan observed that there were no obvious signs of fighting in the professor's room, and the door and lock were normal without any damage.

Therefore, the murderer most likely has the key in the hotel, which can open the door of Professor Cao, or has another passage to enter the professor's room.

Besides the door, the most convenient way to enter should be the professor's window.

Liu Fan also checked the professor's window and found that there was indeed an obvious shoe print on the window. It seemed that someone entered the room through the window and killed the professor.

Now Yue Yue has also copied the shoe prints in the professor's room, and is going to compare them one by one to see who is the most likely murderer when they chat with everyone one-on-one later.

Judging from the shoe prints, it is indeed the most likely that the murderer broke in through the window. After all, the professor was drunk and probably fell asleep directly in the room without any resistance at all.

However, it is also possible that someone opened the door, murdered the professor, and then forged shoe prints to create the illusion of killing people through a broken window.

Both of these points are possible.

According to these two possibilities, Zhang Mentong, who is the doorman of the Longmen Hotel, and He Jian, a retired naval officer, are the most suspicious.

First, neither had an alibi;
Secondly, Zhang Mentong has the keys to all the rooms in the hotel, so he can open the door of the professor without anyone noticing it, and leave calmly.Although He Jian has retired, as a soldier, he obviously has some advantages in physical fitness compared to ordinary people. It is not difficult for him to enter the professor's room through the window.

In the end, Liu Fan discovered that Zhang Mentong appeared on the stairs on the second floor twice before and after the professor's case. Generally speaking, his place of work was at the front desk on the first floor.As for He Jian, he also said that he returned to his room, but his room was next to the professor's room, separated by a wall.

At present, it seems that the two people are indeed the biggest suspects.

Of course, although there are strangle marks on the professor's neck, it does not necessarily prove that the professor was strangled to death.

Liu Fan has asked the police station to bring the professor's body back to the police station to start an autopsy in order to find out the real cause of the professor's death.

Only by knowing the real cause of the professor's death can Liu Fan find out the ultimate murderer.

After all, although these five people were in the restaurant, the possibility of drug poisoning was not ruled out.

In the position of police chief, Liu Fan is not used to seeing all kinds of killing methods.

"Writer, what time did you leave the restaurant?"

While Liu Fan was thinking about the timeline, Qin Kaixuan turned his attention to the writer whose departure time was unclear, and began to ask about the specific time point.

"I really don't remember, I'm too drunk, will I check my watch?"

Writer Yan's fleshy face was full of helplessness, and he really couldn't remember when he left.

Suddenly, He Jian who was sitting opposite Writer Yan interjected:
"If I remember correctly, you should have gone back earlier than the professor."

Everyone cast surprised glances, wondering how he knew, after all, he did not sit and eat with Writer Yan, Professor Cao and others.

He Jian sat on the chair calmly and began to explain:

"I eat at the restaurant at 8 o'clock every night, and they eat next to them. Because there are too many people, I am bored by myself, so I took a few glances. If I remember correctly, the first one to leave was Writer Yan, and then The professor went back, and I left the restaurant with Professor Cao."

He Jian couldn't help but stop talking. According to everyone's speculation just now, the only ones who left the restaurant were the three of them. If you don't explain, don't charge yourself with murdering the professor. Now you have to find a way to get rid of the blame go out.

After hearing He Jianli's order of departure, everyone turned their attention to Writer Yan, wanting to see if he would agree.

Writer Yan touched his head, pretended to be drunk, and said, "I drank too much, I don't remember anything."

"I found that every time I asked you something, you said that you drank too much, there is something wrong with you!"

Xiaobai looked at Writer Yan who was pretending to be drunk, smiled coldly, and pointed it out.

Everyone's eyes froze suddenly, what a question!

Liu Fan also secretly pricked up his ears in the darkroom, and sat up straight, obviously interested in this question.

Writer Yan tilted his head and opened his mouth. After a few moments of silence, he said, "I can't help it. I get confused when I drink."

"I think getting drunk is an excuse for you. You can pretend to be drunk, kill others, and then go back to the house by yourself. When someone asks you, you can say that you drank too much and didn't go out. "

Xiaobai showed that he didn't believe Writer Yan's words, and poured dirty water on Writer Yan vigorously.

Seeing that someone started to take the lead in splashing dirty water, the rest of the people also nodded one after another, seeming to agree with this possibility.

Writer Yan spread his hands helplessly, and could only say, "You can think the same way, I have nothing to say."

Seeing that the writer no longer resisted, Xiaobai proudly showed a confident smile, and said directly:

"It's the one you killed, unless you can prove that you didn't."

Xiaobai slapped the table and came to a conclusion quite imposingly.

At this time, Writer Yan also saw that something was wrong in the scene, why did everyone start to stand on the opposite side silently?
According to this posture, the person who was voted out in the first round is very likely to be himself.

Can I no longer be silently slaughtered by others, I must find a way to change the topic.

After thinking for a while, he stood up suddenly, with the corners of his mouth slightly tilted, and said with a sneer:
"Who knows the reason why the professor died? It is also possible that he was given some kind of medicine by you people. After returning, the medicine took effect and died."

Writer Yan immediately provided a brand new way of thinking about crimes.

However, this idea of ​​committing the crime is also within the scope of Liu Fan's guess, and now we are waiting for the autopsy report in the police station.

However, after Writer Yan put forward this idea, the boss Zhou, the famous actor, couldn't wait to jump out, and immediately retorted: "The professor was 'killed'."

Writer Yan had also come to his senses at this time, and began to speak eloquently, saying with one enemy a hundred: "Killed? How do you know what form of killing? Did the cause of death and the autopsy report come out?"

He extended the criminal suspicion to the five people in the restaurant, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of other people in the restaurant. Luan Dangdang immediately asked, "Didn't you drink too much?"

"It was true that I drank too much at the time, but I don't drink too much now, and I woke up suddenly."

"You sober up so quickly?"

"That's so fresh, 'dead', don't wake up!"

"Oh? Sober up so quickly, why can't you remember so many things before?"

"I can't remember what happened before the alcohol, but now I'm sober. Anyway, it's time to commit crimes, and the drug effect can take half an hour or a day."

Writer Yan debated Confucianism, faced with criticism from everyone, his wisdom immediately returned, and he tried his best to minimize his suspicion.

"He's always holding on to the poisoning thing, but I can't think of the poisoning thing!"

Luan Dangdang looked at the crowd and said helplessly.

There is no way, the first chosen writer Yan, who is the one who is responsible for the blame, is trying his best to talk about it, but he never thought that there is a slight possibility that he will actually be pulled back by him.

Now everyone can only re-select a blame man, otherwise in the first round of voting, don't be voted out for no reason, it will be really embarrassing.

"Poisoning is the best way."

Writer Yan said confidently with his hands behind his back and a smile on his round face.

Luan Dangdang couldn't help asking his own question: "Do you often do this?"

Writer Yan was stopped by this question in an instant, his eyes constricted suddenly, his pupils dilated, his brain was running at a high speed, and he gave an explanation in an instant:
"I have read a lot of literary works, and they are all written like this."

Writer Yan tried to use this method to make a joke and let the matter go.

Unexpectedly, Boss Zhou, the famous actor, suddenly found a loophole in his words, and immediately said, "Just wait a moment."

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Boss Zhou again, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"This writer, what is your relationship with Representative Meng?"

Unexpectedly, Boss Zhou's focus was different, and he directly shifted his attention to the relationship between Writer Yan and Representative Meng.

"Representative Meng? We are friends."

"how did you guys meet?"

"We met in Ice City and hit it off right away."

A flash of memory appeared in Writer Yan's eyes, and he slowly told everyone about the process of knowing him and Representative Meng.

"While I was waiting to check in this afternoon, I was reading at the bar. Representative Meng came to see me and found that we both like to watch "In the Bamboo Forest". We hit it off right away, and we both like literary works, so we got along very well."

"So Representative Meng incidentally invited me to the banquet."

"I thought that the tickets were sold out, and I had nothing to do, so I might as well attend the banquet, and add some fun to my life, and take many friends and many paths along the way."

The method of knowing Writer Yan and Representative Meng obviously made everyone present feel a little unbelievable.

Everyone knows Representative Meng. He is a very proud person. He rarely strikes up a conversation with outsiders, let alone invites people he met for the first time to a banquet.

But looking at Writer Yan's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying. For a while, the meeting room was silent, and everyone was lost in thought.

On the other side, Yue Yue was intensively searching the room of Professor Cao and everyone.

"Inspector Yue, we have conducted a detailed inspection on the professor. Through our inspection, the professor is male, 1.7 meters tall, with no abnormal development and normal nutrition."

"There was an obvious fatal injury in his neck. According to the inference of the wound, it should be a blunt gunshot wound, resulting in a closed neck injury, resulting in a rupture of the cervical spine and injury of the cervical spinal cord, which forced the airway and caused death."

"Of course, this is just our initial speculation based on the scene. The specific autopsy report needs to be given by colleagues in the police station."

Beside Yue Yue, a man in a white coat and mask, holding a folder in his hand, was introducing to Yue Yue the cause of the professor's death detected so far.

Listening to his explanation, Yue Yue's brows kept twitching, and his eyelids were also rolling. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said impatiently: "Speak human words!"

The man immediately described it in simple words:
"To put it bluntly, his neck was broken."
