fog city detective

Chapter 267 River Poison ([-])

Liang Xi speculates that the whole story of the incident is as follows:

When Hannah placed the order, Shen Hai immediately notified Quick that Hannah didn't like to eat in restaurants with many people. When staying in a hotel, it is usually called a meal delivery service.The food delivery man enters the elevator with a cart, presses the 21st floor, and Shenhai changes 21 to 22.The food delivery man arrives at the 22nd floor, and he has to go through three rooms 2218, 19, and 20 to reach room 2221.Prior to this, Quick had used tools or other means to change the three room numbers including 2218 to three room numbers including 2118.Trusting the number displayed by the elevator, the delivery man subjectively determined that he was on the 21st floor and delivered the food to room 2221.The food delivery man took the tip and left. Quick changed into the food delivery man's costume, pushed the cart to room 2121, and delivered food with tetrodotoxin.

But there is a fatal contradiction.The food delivery man’s testimony is: he entered room 2121, pushed the cart in front of Hannah, introduced the food, explained that there were four people in the living room of the room, took a tip from Quick and left.The food delivery staff actually met Hannah and the others, and did not go to room 2221.

Did the suspect arrange three actors in advance?Unlikely, since Jack and Jeff don't necessarily go to see Hannah.

In this case, why did Shenhai modify the shooting time of the surveillance video?

Sera was given a headache by what Liang Xi said to himself, and he didn't know how to answer. Then Liang Xi answered his own question: "Because what Shenhai modified was not the corridor monitoring, but the elevator monitoring."

Sierra didn't understand: "The food delivery man captured by the surveillance camera on the third floor, the food delivery man filmed by the elevator, and the food delivery man filmed by the surveillance camera on the 21st floor, is one of them not the food delivery man himself?"

Liang Xi said: "No, they are all the same person, the difference is that there are other people in the elevator."

Liang Xi made a phone call: "Xixi, you ask the food delivery man a question: before the incident, when he took the elevator to deliver food to Hannah's room, was there anyone else in the elevator?"

Xixi answered with certainty: "No one else."

Liang Xi said: "I asked you to ask, not to answer." I hate confident people the most. If it weren't for their self-confidence, I wouldn't waste yesterday's time.

Xixi hung up the phone quite dissatisfied, she is a person with status.Although she must obey Liang Xi's assignment now, she is actually the personal assistant of the general manager of the Kefu Group's London branch.The people she sees every day are powerful figures, and a little detective yelling at her so impolitely really annoys her.

Ten minutes later, Xixi called with a gentle tone: "Mr. Liang, there are two people who took the elevator with the food delivery staff. One is a woman who entered the elevator from the seventh floor and was dressed as a guest room supervisor, and got out of the elevator on the twelfth floor. A man who entered the elevator on the ninth floor or the tenth floor, who was wearing a suit from the hotel's public relations department, left the elevator with the woman on the twelfth floor."

The delivery guy didn't take the initiative to mention them, because it's common for employees to encounter people of this type of occupation in the elevator, and it would be rude to stare at each other.Bodyguards and security guards are not professional police officers, and they did not conduct detailed inquiries, resulting in missing a key clue.

Xixi showed the photos of all the residents and employees to the food delivery staff for identification, looking for people who took the elevator with him, and the food delivery staff excluded them one by one.The food delivery staff did not find these two people in the surveillance video.

Liang Xi knew that the two were not employees or residents at all, and they did not leave any images or photos.As long as you change your clothes and hairstyle, even if you stand face to face with the food delivery staff, the food delivery staff will not recognize them.

The current situation is like this. The two poisoned the borscht in the elevator, so there is nothing about Quick, the owner of room 2221.But it was such a coincidence that Liang Xi discovered that Quick was a false identity.Why do you need to live alone in the hotel?

Damn it, since the other party can control all the surveillance cameras and elevators, it means that they can't get photos and videos of the suspect in the hotel.That can only be found outside the hotel.

There is a detail, Quick is a one-person occupancy.Ryan booked the hotel and registered the information of each guest, while Quick left alone.Assuming that Quick is one of the murderers, it means that after the poisoning, one of the suspects left the hotel.According to the timeline calculation, it should be around [-]:[-] at the time of the incident.

Liang Xi said, "Did I just say that it's unlikely that Quick would stay in a luxury hotel?"

Sierra nodded.

Liang Xi looked at Serra, and Serra replied, "Yes."

Liang Xi said: "That's because I judged Quick from the clothes he was wearing. He was a college student. On the night of the incident, Ryan emptied the hotel, and he told me to promise to leave everyone's information. That means Quick may be the real Quick. Ke, that means that Quick is not only a college student, he has not been impersonated, he must be related to the deep sea gang."

Sera questioned: "Could it be that Quick has nothing to do with the deep sea? He is just an ordinary resident."

Liang Xi said: "No, he dressed in a simple, relaxed and cheap way when he passed the customs. Even if Quick is a low-key rich second generation, he would not choose a luxurious business suite, he would choose a more luxurious single suite. He only has one People. But this is very strange. Quick lived upstairs from Hannah. After Hannah was poisoned, he did not leave after the poisoned poisoning, but stayed until the scene was cleared. And his accomplices in Hannah Nadu had already evacuated from the hotel before the attack."

Liang Xi said: "What's even more strange is that Quick didn't hide anything, he completely put the information on the surface. Could it be that the Deep Sea team wants to play black under the lights? But judging from the methods they used, their behavior is: even if you find out I, I don’t know who I am. It’s not a game of guessing who is the murderer. These are two completely different styles of crime.”

A pattern: You are walking on the street, and you are beaten with a stick by a masked man. You know that you have been beaten, and you know how many people are on the other side, but you just don’t know who the other party is.

A pattern: You are walking on the street, and someone beats you from behind, and you look back but cannot find the suspect who beat you.You judge that there are four suspects who can beat you, maybe the real culprit is one of the four suspects, or maybe the real culprit used the modus operandi to remove himself from the suspect.

In comparison, the first mode is simple and rude, and its disadvantage is that it is easy to control violence with violence.When others catch you using violence, they are likely to use violence against you.There is not only the possibility of being counter-killed, but also the possibility of being counter-killed by those who do what is right.

The second mode is more complicated and tests IQ.The advantage is that even if you are suspected, people will not be able to determine that you are the real murderer, which is in line with the current international legal principles and is also the main mode of elite crime.The disadvantage is that your IQ may be higher than others, but having a higher IQ than others does not mean that you can crush others.Because IQ is not only the activity energy of the brain, but also includes factors such as experience, experience, thinking direction, logical thinking and so on.

Liang Xi judged from the details of the case that the suspect belonged to the first mode, but the existence of Quick belonged to the second mode.This is an apparent contradiction.

Sera asked, "Are you going to see Quick?" She hated Liang Xi's way of thinking, or kept silent, so that people didn't know what he was thinking.Either it is full of nonsense, and I can't digest the information he sent at all.

"Seeing Quick is risky." Liang Xi contacted assistant Xi Xi: "Send me the information of the settled residents and their current location."

Xixi didn't say a word of nonsense and immediately executed it, and it was enough to learn a lesson once.Some people say that the reason why elites succeed is not because they don't make mistakes, but because they don't make the same mistakes in succession.

Liang Xi checked on his mobile phone and found that [-] passengers including Quick had been sent to Yifan Hotel one kilometer away.Xixi told Liang Xi that Ryan provided compensation to each of them, and was responsible for their hotel accommodation fees in the new hotel for a week, and the rooms in the new hotel were all selected from the best rooms.Several new hotels have dispatched special vehicles to pick up the travelers.

This kind of attitude makes it difficult for everyone to refuse. Maybe someone insists on staying at the Lila Hotel, that's okay.However, this person's information, including that of relatives and friends, will be thoroughly checked by Ryan's people.

Liang Xi was a little dissatisfied: "You didn't ask me what the risk was." There was no tacit understanding and no cooperation.

Sera was taken aback: "What risk?"

Liang Xi said: "You suggested to see Quick, I said it was risky."

This was 7 minutes ago.Sera was not good at arguing, and asked, "Will you be killed?"

Not only do I have no common topics with this IT woman, but I even have completely different thinking directions.I still don't understand why the scumbag Bobby is still thinking about him.Is it really like the old saying: a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and stealing is worse than not being able to steal.

Liang Xi explained: "Assuming that Hannah dies, the police will definitely enter the scene. Based on the analysis of police case handling standards, Quick will become one of the suspects, because he lives upstairs from Hannah, and the police will treat Quick to varying degrees. Even if Hannah is not dead, how can the murderer be sure that Hannah will not call the police? Quick is so young, can he handle police interrogation? Maybe he can, but why should such a young team that can handle police interrogation be sent to the police in the future? Where is the star on the bright side?"

After Liang Xi finished his analysis, he concluded: "Quick has a problem. I don't plan to visit Quick until I think about the problem."

Or call Chris!Sierra couldn't bear Liang Xi's analysis.At first I thought I could accept and digest it, but there was a jump in the last sentence, and I had to keep up with Liang Xi's thinking to understand this sentence.

Can Quick handle the cops?Maybe.If Quick can't handle the police, Quick is exposed.If Quick can handle the cops, why put such a young gang member who can handle the cops in the place of the suspect?Looking at the drug surrender case and studying the details, it was found that Quick was not an indispensable member of the team.

You have to think of this part to connect with Liang Xi's thinking.At the same time, it is necessary to draw the conclusion after Liang Xi said these words: you cannot visit Quick.It is necessary to understand this conclusion.The meaning of this conclusion is: in Liang Xi's understanding, Quick is the murderer's resource, not the investigator's resource.One possibility is that Quick is an anti-theft device. When the police find Quick and ask questions, the real culprit will know the progress of the police investigation.Originally, this was the only possibility, but Hannah did not call the police, and various other possibilities were generated.

Not knowing who the opponent was, not knowing how he would play his cards, visiting Quick now was the worst of all ways.

Serra has given up resistance, you say it is up to you, you want it up to you, if you ask to answer the call, I will answer it.No wonder Thresh and Liang Xi are having such a good time, neither of these two fucking people is normal.

Xixi called: "I just learned that Seymour and her assistant have gone to Yifan Hotel, and I don't know the purpose."

John's judgment was wrong, Seymour should be stronger than passers-by, at least he can think of Quick.Maybe Seymour couldn't think of anyone else, so he could only start with Hannah's nearest neighbor.

Stop Seymour?No, Liang Xi couldn't predict what would happen. Seymour and Liang Xi are currently competitors.Stopping Seymour broke the rules of competition.What's more, people may not be willing to listen to their own opinions.Even if others would listen to his opinion, he had to thoroughly analyze all his views before he could convince Seymour.

Going over to see the situation is an option, but using the phone to stop Seymour is the least optional option.If Seymour was killed, would Liang Xi feel guilty?Of course not, adults make their own decisions, their own choices.When intervening in Hannah's drug surrender, safety risks must be considered first.Just like yourself, if you can shrink, you can shrink, if you can't shrink, you can fight.

"Baker?" Liang Xi answered the phone.As soon as I wanted to go to the gangster, the gangster came to call.

Unlucky Baker: "Hey, were you at the Lila Hotel yesterday?"

Liang Xi replied: "Yes."

Baker: "What happened?"

Liang Xi replied: "You should know more or less, right?"

Baker said: "The hotel staff were paid to stay in the hotel temporarily. Unless there was a search warrant, the security guards would not let us in, saying that we had been rented by a private person for a short time."

Liang Xi said: "No, you are the police who have the right to enter the hotel. The hotel is an open facility, even if it is rented out."

Baker: "Wow, if the opposing lawyer knows the law as well as you, I will be very grateful. Hey, are you investigating this case?"

Liang Xiwei asked: "This..."

Baker said: "I just happened to be on vacation, and I will hang out with you as a friend. I promise not to show up as much as possible, and I don't need to be a police officer."

Liang Xi said helplessly: "Okay, I'm in the underground parking lot of the apartment where I live. Call me when you get near the apartment."

Baker: "OK."

Liang Xi said: "Remember to bring a group of special police to wait for the delay, just in case."

Baker: "My special?"

Liang Xi: "Anything is possible."

Baker: "I have to thank you."

Liang Xi smiled: "Actually, I'm still hesitating whether to contact you or Liu Zhen."

Baker was speechless. It seemed that this was not the first time that this happened, just get used to it.

After sending Sierra away and meeting Baker, Baker received a call before explaining the situation, saying that someone called the police to report a homicide at Yifan Hotel.Baker was relatively close, and the superior asked Baker to check the scene first.

"It's getting more and more interesting now." Liang Xi said.He has cracked the drug surrender case, and now it's time to arrest people.Who are we going to catch?Liang Xi believed in Sera, and the person to be arrested was Shen Hai.The one time the Deep Sea appeared was for the behind-the-scenes of Aussie, and nine out of ten behind-the-scenes people were London dignitaries.Was Shen Hai's move this time still under the instigation of someone behind the scenes?
If his reasoning is correct, Quick is not aware of drug surrender.It seems that this reasoning is still a little problematic. Quick knew that the drug had surrendered... No, Quick didn't know.But he probably knew something else, and hoped that it wasn't Quick who died, although Liang Xi believed that Quick was the dead.

In fact, the deceased was Quick, and the suspect was Seymour, a novelist and one of the three detectives.
