After a long while, the freezing feeling passed, and Gu Nianyi was finally able to move his fingers slowly.

The person who looked at him was obviously dead, his pupils were dilated, and his whole body was bloodless.

It was a man about 50 to [-] years old, slightly fat, and a little bald on the top of his head. Gu Nianyi was sure that he had never seen this person before.

There was an air conditioner blowing in the room, and in the twenty degrees Celsius room, the corpse obviously didn't show any signs of beginning to rot.But judging from his facial expression, the rigor that had begun to gradually form clearly fixed his expression into a very terrifying image.

And he also showed a posture of lying down, with his head tilted towards him.

Unexpectedly, the first glance can scare people out of their wits, but the second glance can't be slowed down.

What Gu Nianyi touched just now was wet, it was blood on the floor, he stood up with his hands on his hands, only to find a bloody knife at his feet.He didn't move the position of the knife hastily, he was going to stand on the spot and observe from side to side.

After he stood up, he found that the upper arms of the corpse were tied with a rope passing through the underarms on both sides, and the hands were cut backwards and tied upwards. The wrists were completely pale from the force.There were large bloodstains on the bed covered with white sheets, and he was still wearing a white shirt, and the collar was also stained mottled red.

His wrist was folded backwards, if he untied it now, maybe he would break a bone.On the arm under the shoulder, where the skin was exposed, small corpse spots could already be seen.

Wait a minute, Corpse Spot... Gu Nianyi looked at the blood on his trouser legs and the knife, and turned his head to check the knife wound on his body, but there was no fatal wound or bleeding point where he looked.

According to the reason, such a large amount of bleeding will not form corpse plaques that fall below. After all, the formation of corpse plaques needs to consider the blood flow of the corpse, and the body after death will not lie. There is only one reason, the blood may not be his... The blood seems to have been splashed on it.

But the good news is that this blood should not be his own.

Although he was insensitive to pain, he searched all over his body and found no bleeding spots. His body was covered with scratches outside the skin after bumps.

Gu Nianyi started looking for his mobile phone after finding out that he wanted to save some evidence.

"...my phone..." Gu Nianyi patted his trouser pocket and whispered, "where's my phone?"

After calming down, he found that his phone seemed to be lost.There are all kinds of information in his work mobile phone, but it is not so easy to decipher easily. The most urgent thing is to contact the outside world as soon as possible.

This place looks like a unique decoration of an express hotel, because it is a standard square room. There is a bathroom in the upper left corner with two pieces of frosted glass next to the wall. There are no windows on all sides of the room, and the only exit is the door in front of it.Gu Nianyi walked to the door. After the hotel door was closed, it could not be opened except for the room card, and an anti-theft chain was hung inside.

"..." Gu Nianyi let go of his hand, suddenly realizing what he was going to do.

Then, he saw the phone next to the table. Fortunately, the phone line had not been unplugged, so he had no choice but to call the hotel's internal line. Gu Nianyi had no choice but to dial the number above and then received the hotel reception.

A sweet voice came from the opposite side: "Hi, how can I help you?"

"Call the police for me." Gu Nianyi said in a deep voice.

"..." The other party obviously didn't react, and responded sweetly, "Huh? Hello? What did you say?"

"I said, call the police for me." Gu Nianyi repeated, "There is a murder case in your hotel, please call the police and seal the scene."

other side:"……"

Two minutes later, he heard someone knocking on the door, and Gu Nianyi shouted from inside: "The door can't be opened!"

The people outside were two security guards, who responded after hearing this, and then Gu Nianyi heard the "didi" sound of the magnetic card opening the door. After the other party opened the door, he was immediately startled by the scene in front of him.

Gu Nianyi was wearing a black T-shirt on his upper body, and dark red blood was all over his light-colored jeans on his lower body.

"Sir! This is..."

"...Call the police! Hurry up and call the police!"

Gu Nianyi patted his trouser pockets and found that he did not have a police ID, so he could only sigh and said: "I am a policeman, and I have no ID. A murder has occurred in this house. Please inform the police as soon as possible. I hope you will not enter for the time being, nor will you Destroy the scene. Also, let them know that I am Gu Nianyi from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and I need the support of the Municipal Bureau."

"Ah, good, good..." The security guard hurriedly said to the intercom, "I'm on the fifth floor! A homicide happened in the guest room! Please call the police quickly! He said he was a Gu of a detachment or a serious case..."

"Gu Nianyi." Gu Nianyi reminded.

Gu Nianyi said to another security guard, "What time is it?"

"It's past six o'clock." The security guard replied.

"Six o'clock?" Gu Nianyi looked back at the room, because there was no window in the room, so he didn't know what night it was, "Six o'clock in the morning?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The security guard looked through his arm and said tremblingly, "There is really a dead person on that bed..."

"Don't be afraid." Gu Nianyi waved his hand and said, "Everyone is dead, so I won't hurt you."

He looked away from both sides, and saw the camera at the end of the corridor and the camera at the corner on the other side.

He turned his head and said: "The police will definitely need to call the camera, please prepare it first. Also, wake up all the guests in the building. Now the scene needs to be sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

He remembered something and said: "By the way, my mobile phone was taken away, can you lend me my mobile phone?"

He was still worried about Xu Luo's situation. The only phone numbers he could recite on his phone belonged to Wang Cheng and his mother. The security guard lent him the phone. He tried to dial it, but Wang Cheng's phone was turned off.

"Damn..." Gu Nianyi let out a breath.

Within 5 minutes of waiting for support, he temporarily figured out his situation.

He was in an express hotel in Chongming District, a little away from their city bureau, not too far from their dining place.If he and Xu Luo had dinner at nine o'clock, he was brought to this hotel last night, and it has been a whole night.

That night, someone separated him from Xu Luo and brought him into this fast hotel with ulterior motives.In the hotel, the door was locked and chained, and it seemed to form a secret room.In the secret room, Gu Nianyi slept with a dead body overnight with a knife.

Outrageous.

But it shouldn't be like this last night. Obviously, he had a meal with Xu Luo and chatted for a while. The atmosphere was not bad. He still had a lot to say to Xu Luo.By the way, before he lost consciousness, Xu Luo seemed... What happened to Xu Luo?Gu Nianyi didn't remember much.

He didn't dare to destroy the scene at will, and he didn't dare to move around, even though he seemed to be in an embarrassing situation of being wronged, but the more he was like this, the more he had to calm down.

Gu Nianyi began to observe the ceiling. Indeed, there were no vents in the room, and all the air was ventilated by the air conditioner, but there was an exhaust fan in the bathroom, which was whistling at the moment.

Gu Nianyi walked into the bathroom. The bathroom, which was not separated from the wet and the dry, looked small from the outside, but the space inside looked quite large.Gu Nianyi looked up at the fan, then looked down at the ground.

There seemed to be something on the dry unused bathroom floor in the dim light.

He frowned slightly, and saw a few sporadic drops of red on the bathroom floor, which seemed to be blood stains, because they were too small, and it was difficult to detect their existence with the naked eye at first glance.

Gu Nianyi looked up along the red color and saw the row of fans.

When I was about to take a closer look...

"Gu Nianyi!"

Someone is calling him.

Gu Nianyi froze for a moment, then stepped out of the bathroom excitedly.

Outside the door, the police had already arrived, and the outside was surrounded.A policeman is pulling the cordon that prohibits entry. The space that was quiet just now was instantly engulfed by noisy voices.The on-site survey personnel entered the site first, and began to lay transparent treads on the site to reduce the damage on site.

Then, the person who called him just now finally appeared from behind. He saw Zhang Chang and the two men next to him. Gu Nianyi frowned slightly. He realized that he knew the face of one of the men.One is Jin Youli, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Chongming Branch, who has a good relationship with Wang Cheng and always calls him Lao Jin, and the other is a middle-aged man who looks majestic and imposing.

After that, Sun Chengming, who didn't dare to say anything, waved his hand and greeted him.

"Captain Li, let me introduce. This is Gu Nianyi, the current team leader of our major crime team. help us with our investigation."

"You've been following that kid Wang Cheng." Li Tai nodded at him and said, "We've met before."

"Hello, Captain Li." Gu Nianyi greeted honestly. His current appearance is quite strange, and he didn't have much free time to exchange greetings, so he said to Zhang Chang, "Squad Zhang, I just couldn't get through to Master's phone number. Do you know where the other is?"

Jin Youli said: "The Provincial Department released Wang Cheng three days ago to wait for news, but we only found out today that he has not seen anyone for several days."

"Three days ago?" Gu Nianyi was stunned for a moment, then continued, "...Impossible."

He still wanted to refute, but Zhang Chang interrupted him first.

"Xiao Gu." Zhang Chang said, "Leave him alone! Tell us what happened first."

Gu Nianyi stood and explained what happened in detail: "I was attacked after eating, and I woke up lying in the hotel."

Zhang Chang was thoughtful and did not speak, while Li Tai walked around to observe, and ordered Jin Youli to retrieve the monitoring of the corridor and the check-in information of the customers as soon as possible.

"Call all the people in the hotel." Zhang Chang said to the police next to him, "Especially those who are on duty tonight, let them come and identify people!"

Sun Chengming finally seized a chance to talk to Gu Nianyi, walked up to him and stood side by side with him, and made silent eye contact with him.

After the forensic doctor entered the scene, the trace inspectors retreated to the dead side of the room. The person in front of him was sticking a gelatin fingerprint extraction sheet to the doorknob to extract the fingerprints on the top. He pressed it repeatedly, while Gu Nianyi stood aside to observe , pointed with his finger: "This chain was chained at that time."

"The door is locked, and the chain is locked." Sun Chengming said silently at the side, "So in any case, you are the only one who can kill him in this room."

"..." Gu Nianyi glared at him, "Shut up."

"Murder in a secret room, detective novels..." Sun Chengming continued, "If this person's purpose is to blame you, what he did is really rough..."

"I'm also very strange." Gu Nianyi looked at his pants, and then looked at the corpse from a distance, "I think he may not be the only victim, because the blood on my body doesn't seem to be his..."
