Serious Case Tracking

Chapter 69 The Identity of the Suspect

After the busy day, people ushered in the hustle and bustle of the night. People under the neon lights are either quiet, noisy, leisurely, or crazy. No matter which way they use, it is a kind of physical and mental comfort after a busy day. Relax.

Huajing Hotel, a five-star hotel, has not officially opened yet, but the banquet hall is full of lively scenes. There is an endless stream of guests who come to congratulate, and the waiters are busy.

Of course, the lively scene was only on the surface, but there was a dark tide inside, and the tense atmosphere permeated the entire banquet hall, but no one felt it.

More than a dozen investigators disguised as guests mixed in the crowd. Although they pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, their sharp eyes were always watching everyone in the banquet hall and every corner they could see, and Use a pocket walkie-talkie to communicate now and then.In addition, there are also more than ten investigators on the periphery of the hotel watching, forming a large arresting net inside and outside, waiting for the suspect to appear.

Meng Shaohui originally stayed in the monitoring room, but his heart was still unable to calm down. He hadn't encountered this feeling for some years. Even if he was facing gangsters with guns, he would not be as nervous as he is now.Of course, he knew very well that the reason why he felt this way was entirely because the case had developed so far. Apart from speculation, it was still speculation. There was no real evidence to prove the identity of the murderer. The present opportunity can only be successful. , because once he misses and scares the murderer hiding in the dark, it will be even more difficult to catch him again. Of course he doesn't want to see this happen.

"Did you find anything suspicious?" Meng Shaohui asked the investigator in the monitoring room through the walkie-talkie.

"I haven't found it yet, but the information provided by all the waiters and the manager is completely consistent."

"Continue to monitor, be sure to keep an eye on me!" Meng Shaohui urged.

Not long after, the guests began to take their seats. The chairman of the hotel came to the stage and delivered a short welcome speech, after which the banquet officially began.

Watching the waiter pass by with plates of delicious dishes, none of the investigators was distracted by it. They knew that, judging from the time of the previous murder, he should be hiding in the The dark place is waiting for an opportunity, so everyone is in full swing at this time, looking back and forth at every waiter who shuttles through the room with drinks and dishes.

Time was jumping forward minute by minute, but the mysterious waiter did not appear on the scene, but Meng Shaohui was not anxious because of this, because since the murderer had already sent the invitation, he could not take action.

The chairman of the hotel toasted at the table, which made the atmosphere of the banquet more lively.At the same time, a sneaky figure appeared in the surveillance probe.

"Captain Meng, the target has appeared, approaching Hu Haoting in your direction at ten o'clock." The investigator in the monitoring room reported the situation to Meng Shaohui through the walkie-talkie.

Hearing this, Meng Shaohui quickly turned his head to look in the direction of ten o'clock, and saw a young man dressed as a waiter with his head lowered, holding a tray and carefully moving towards the wine table where Hu Haoting was, and from time to time raised his head slightly towards the wine table where Hu Haoting was. Steal a few glances in the direction.From his position to Hu Haoting's side is a straight line, but he chooses to go left and right, judging from his actions and the position of the camera installation in the banquet hall, it is obvious that he is avoiding the camera's shooting." The target has appeared, everyone pay attention." Meng Shaohui said through the walkie-talkie, and then he began to cautiously approach the young man.

Although Meng Shaohui couldn't tell from his appearance that this young man was the mysterious waiter who appeared in the previous three murder cases, but judging from his suspicious behavior, it should be close to each other.

The young man approached Hu Haoting step by step, and Meng Shaohui and the scouts narrowed the circle around him step by step. The young man didn't notice anything strange around him, and all his attention was focused on Hu Haoting.

"I'll give you more wine." The young man said after approaching Hu Haoting.

But just as he finished speaking, Meng Shaohui strode forward and grabbed the hand of the young man who was about to pour the wine, and the scouts at the side also snatched the wine bottle and tray from the young man's hand with lightning speed. At the same time, he clasped his other arm tightly behind his back.

"You, what are you doing? Let me go!" The young man exclaimed after recovering.

"Police, you should know best what you are doing!" Meng Shaohui shook his handcuffs in front of the young man.

Before the young man recovered, he was taken out of the banquet hall through the back door by the investigators. The entire arrest process took only a few tens of seconds, and the guests at the banquet watched Meng Shaohui and others leave in amazement Monk Zhang Er was puzzled by his back.

As soon as he walked out the back door, the young man seemed to wake up from a dream, struggling to shout: "What are you doing! What are you doing! I didn't do anything, why are you arresting me! Let me go! Help!"

"Shut up for me, you didn't do anything, our police are full and we're going to catch you for fun?" Meng Shaohui scolded.

"I don't know, I don't know anything! Let me go!" The young man struggled and shouted.

"Be honest with me, what are you doing at the banquet?" Meng Shaohui asked.

"I, I'm the waiter, I go up to refill the wine, can't you see?"

"You are not a hotel employee at all. What kind of waiter are you? What kind of wine do you add?"

"I, I just applied for the job today, can't I?"

"You don't cry when you see the coffin, do you? Do you want the manager of the hotel to come out and confront you face to face!"

"I..." The young man was speechless for a moment.

"Why did you poison and kill people? What is the relationship between you and Hu Haoting?"

"I, I didn't poison, I didn't kill, you wronged me! You wronged me!"

The young man kept yelling, but soon, Meng Shaohui realized that something was wrong with him. With the emotional agitation, the young man's body began to tremble continuously, he yawned continuously, and tears and snot began to flow out unconsciously.

"Drug addiction, right?" Meng Shaohui said coldly.

"No, no." The young man yawned back.

"Take him back and do a urine test first," Meng Shaohui said.

In the interrogation room of the police station, the young man who was brought back from the banquet drooped his head and sat powerlessly on a chair. At this time, his face was pale and expressionless, and he had long lost the energy he had when he resisted the clamor.

"Sit me down!"

Meng Shaohui slammed the table heavily and let out an angry roar. The young man was startled and sat up straight immediately.

"What's the matter, Wang Wei, where did the energy go just now? Didn't you have nothing wrong? Why did the urine test turn out to be positive?"

"Isn't it just a matter of taking drugs? At most, you will be sent to a drug rehabilitation center, and I haven't sold drugs, so you can't sentence me." Wang Wei said disdainfully.

"Is it really that simple?" Meng Shaohui asked, "What are you doing at the banquet? Don't tell me to go to work to earn money to buy drugs. The hotel has already confirmed that they didn't invite you at all. What are you doing there? Tell me!"

"No, I didn't do anything." Wang Wei obviously lacked confidence, and his voice was obviously much lower.

"Nothing? Keep your eyes open!" Meng Shaohui walked up to Wang Wei holding photos of the previous victims, "Don't tell me you don't know these three people. At the banquet they attended, You have all appeared before, and you all poured wine for them. Everything was captured by the surveillance camera at the banquet site, and after that, these three people were killed one after another, and the hotel side of the banquet they attended also confirmed that it was not at all. I haven't invited you, what else do you have to say?"

Seeing the photos of Li Jian and others, Wang Wei immediately lowered his head.

"If you take drugs, you can only be thrown into a drug rehabilitation center, but if you kill people, you should know what the consequences will be."

"No, no, I didn't kill people, I didn't kill people, you can't wrong me, you don't have evidence, you can't talk nonsense!" Wang Wei hurriedly shouted.

"You had contact with these people before they were killed, and you were not a hotel waiter at all. Why did you pour wine for them? Isn't this evidence enough?" Meng Shaohui pointed to Wang Wei and asked.

"I……"

At this time, an investigator walked into the interrogation room, whispered a few words to Meng Shaohui, and then left. After listening to the investigator, Meng Shaohui had a smile on his face. In Wang Wei's view, this smile was like a court official. The "judgment" was average, making him tremble unconsciously from nervousness.

"The forensic doctor tested the poisonous substance in the wine you brought, and this substance is exactly the same as the poisonous substance that killed several people in the photo. What else do you have to say? You said that there is no evidence, and now this evidence convicts you The crime should be enough, right? Three homicides and one attempted murder, you can decide for yourself what will happen!" Meng Shaohui said seriously.

"No, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible! He didn't tell me there was poison in the wine, he just asked me to pour them wine. I didn't kill people, I didn't kill people, police officer, believe me, I really didn't kill people! I didn't!" Wang Wei yelled hysterically to defend himself.

"Compared with your one-sided statements and the evidence, do you think I will believe you?"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Meng Shaohui began to adopt the aggressive method, in order to get Wang Wei to confess everything honestly.

"Please believe me, I really didn't kill anyone, I really didn't..."

Wang Wei knelt down on the ground with a "plop", begging bitterly, but was immediately pulled back to the chair by the police officers beside him.

"If you want me to believe it, it depends on whether what you said is true." Seeing that the aggressive method has worked, Meng Shaohui didn't intend to waste any more time, and asked straight to the point: "Who is the 'he' you just mentioned?" ?”

"I don't know either, I really don't know who he is."

"I don't know who it is? Then you still help him? Do you think I will believe it?"

"It's true, I really don't know that person, I remember it was a month ago! I surfed the Internet in an Internet cafe, he added my QQ, and then chatted with me, saying that as long as I do a few simple things for him , he would give me money for taking drugs. Of course I didn’t believe it at first, he said he could give me a deposit and asked me to go to the men’s room of the Internet cafe to get the money. I went there out of curiosity, and it turned out that I found a bag of money wrapped in a newspaper behind the flush tank of the toilet, opened it and counted it, and it was worth 2000 yuan! That’s why I believed what the man said was true, so I agreed to do things for him.”

"What did he tell you to do?"

"I was also thinking before that if you give me so much money, what I need to do must be something big. But I didn't expect that he just asked me to pour someone a drink according to the time and place he provided, and the task was completed , you can get a reward of 1000 yuan. I really didn’t kill anyone! I really didn’t.”

"And where did you get the clothes and wine you wore to the party?"

"That person prepared them for me in advance. As for the clothes, it depends on the banquet you are going to, because the clothes of each hotel will be different, so every time he will bring the same clothes as the banquet waiters to the Internet cafe Go, put it behind the water tank in the toilet, and I'll just follow his instructions to get it."

"Then is there a way for you to contact him now?"

"Impossible." Wang Wei shook his head helplessly and said, "After each task is completed, he asks me to find an Internet cafe nearby to contact him within 10 minutes. There is no money, and there is no chance to cooperate again. It has been more than an hour since the mission just now, and I think it is impossible to contact him again, and I don’t have his contact number.”

"What!" Meng Shaohui jumped up from the chair quickly, rushed forward and pulled him up from the chair like a chicken: "Do you know how much you have delayed? I really want to get you Press here and beat me up!"

Meng Shaohui angrily pushed Wang Wei back on the chair, left the interrogation room angrily, and closed the door heavily with a "bang". What happened suddenly made Wang Wei terrified, and collapsed on the chair with a look of frustration.
