663 Chapter 663
The music changed from soothing to high-pitched, and Su Yi was shaving her leg hair in an orderly manner in front of the mirror. When she was done, she raised her head.
The camera captured her face in the mirror. Under the light, thin water molecules evaporated into a faint mist in the air, softening the outline of her face in the mirror.
Her smile was really beautiful, but under the dim yellow light, there was a coldness in her eyes that didn’t match the warm scene.
Huo Zhiming showed her this scene for a few seconds, as if he wanted to freeze her beauty in this scene. The next moment, Su Yi picked up a pair of scissors and cut off her long hair that was still dripping with water!
Shu Peien’s eyes widened. The impact of this scene on him was too great. The ‘Kachak Kachak’ sound of his hair being cut blended with the music, creating a strange sense of harmony, but it made people’s hair stand on end.
Strands of her hair fell to the ground. At this moment, Jiang se was silent in front of the camera, but her words were more than a thousand!
The director presented beautiful things in front of the audience but ruthlessly destroyed them, giving people an indescribable shock.
At this moment, Shu Peien had forgotten about the movie, Tao cen, and the case that he had been organizing based on Shen xueran’s analysis. It was as if someone had hammered him in the head. All he could see in his eyes and heart was strands of long hair that fell to the ground.
That kind of determination that disregarded everything, that kind of decisiveness that cut off all cauldrons and sink boats, was displayed to the extreme in that deep and powerful music.
Shu Peien didn’t realize that his body was trembling slightly. An uncontrollable feeling extended from the bottom of his heart and climbed up his back, making his hair stand on end. Layers of goosebumps spread across his arms, making him hold his breath in his chest.
The power of his hearing was amplified to the extreme at this time, and the ‘sissing sissing’ sound of hair being cut was particularly prominent in the music.
It was as if a seed had sprouted in the depths of Shu Peien’s heart, breaking through the soil and trying to get out of his throat. There was a slight itch, but he couldn’t scratch it. He shrank his neck and swallowed.
The floor was covered with layers of smooth long hair. The SU Yi in the mirror pursed his lips and smiled at her. That smile no longer made people feel warm. Instead, it made people shiver.
She took out a wig from the drawer and put it on carefully.
On the tree-lined path, moonlight covered the bluestone road. A slim girl in a windbreaker walked on this quiet path. Her long reflection covered the light of the street lamps, making Ming feel as if he had nowhere to escape.
With a crisp sound, her tall figure walked further and further away until she reached the end of the path, turned a corner, and disappeared.
It had been seven days since he met Su Yi. There were only 22 days left until the date of Wu Chun’s death.
On the day she met Su Yi, she received another ‘death notice’. Shen xuanran looked for her leader to ask for permission to follow Su Yi, but she was rejected.
She pondered for a few days and decided to act first and report later. She would find someone to keep an eye on Su Yi.
After two days of staring at it, he found nothing.
This woman’s life was rather simple. She spent most of her time at home. According to Shen xuanran’s Secret surveillance of her phone, she was often on the phone with people in the company and dealing with business matters in two different places.
When he went out occasionally, he only went to the supermarket, the library to read books, or to the coffee shop. He didn’t seem to have any doubts.
Shen xuanran’s brows furrowed even tighter when she heard the report. At this time, a shocking case happened in Wangjin!
In a hotel with ventilation in Wangjin, a man’s throat was slit and he was killed in the bathtub!
When Shen xuanran arrived at the crime scene, it had already been destroyed.
The police had set up a cordon and no one was allowed to enter, but before that, it could still be seen that the place had been trampled.
The hotel manager’s face turned pale, and he looked both scared and hateful.
this guest checked in three days ago. the registration book had been brought over. The hotel was not large and was privately owned. Many of the facilities were not complete, and there were only about 30 rooms in the entire hotel.
Other than the surveillance cameras outside the main door and at the front desk, most of the surveillance cameras installed in the corridors and electric ladders by the boss were either fake or broken.
This had a huge impact on solving the case. Shen xunran’s face was dark as she took the registration book and flipped through it while listening to the boss explain the process of finding the corpse.
after checking in, he paid for five days ‘worth of accommodation and instructed that no one should disturb him.
The cheap carpet on the floor had been soaked in water, and from the expressions of the surrounding police officers who were trying hard to hold back their emotions, one could roughly tell that the entire room was probably filled with the nauseating smell of blood.
The camera flashed past the bathroom. A hand that had turned white from soaking in the water was on the edge of the bathtub. A man looked up. His neck had been cut open. The blood from the huge wound had been washed away by the water, and it looked like the smile of a devil.
we have a lot of guests like this here. If the guests don’t ask for room service, we don’t want to knock on the door and disturb them.
The boss avoided his eyes when he spoke. It was because of the hotel’s negligence that the guests were killed in the room without knowing when.
The people who stayed in this hotel were all travelers who came and went for cheap prices. Everyone had traveled all over the world and were not familiar with each other. They would not care about the gender of the person next door or what she looked like.
It wasn’t until this morning that the water in the bathtub seeped out and filled the room. When it flowed out of the door, it was discovered by the people passing by outside. They called the hotel staff and opened the door, only to find that there was a dead person inside.
As soon as the news of the death in the hotel spread, the people who lived there crowded over and stepped on the room. The matter was so big that even the major newspapers and magazines were alarmed, and they could not cover it up.
The scene had already been destroyed by the water and with the deliberate trampling, much of the evidence had been destroyed. Shen xunran held back her anger and ordered her men to roll up the carpet. She searched the room carefully and moved the body away.
The boss was still remorseful.
if I had known, I wouldn’t have done this business. What if someone died in the hotel? ”
“Close the door and wait for the results of the investigation!”
Shen xunran left this sentence and took the hotel’s register book away.
The impact of such a murder case was very bad. The matter with Wu Chunhe had to be put on hold. After all, even though the police had received a threatening letter, they had not found any results. Compared to this high-profile case, the higher-ups had requested Shen Xun ran to put Wu Chunhe’s case aside for a while.
This time, the victim’s throat was cut while he was in the bath, but he didn’t put up much resistance before he died, which made the police suspect that the culprit was a male.
After the murderer killed him, the water in the hotel had been running in a very small stream. Every day, the hotel had a fixed amount of hot water sent to each room. After the hot water ran out, it would become cold. Under such a alternating hot and cold, it would affect the speculation of the time of death.
However, judging from the soaked carpet and the time he entered the hotel, the time of his death should be between the night three days ago and the night before.
This situation gave Shen xunran a headache. Her opponent this time was a cruel and meticulous person.
The incident had blown up and the police were under a lot of pressure. Her boss asked Shen xunran to solve the case as soon as possible. She took the register book of the hotel and looked through the list of people who had entered and left the hotel in the past week. She quickly found the signature of the deceased.
What shocked Shen xuanran was not that the identity of the deceased was finally revealed, but that the handwriting of the man with the signature ‘li Nanfeng’ was very similar to the ‘death notice’ that the police had received about Wu Chunhe!
She made a prompt decision and sent ‘li Nanfeng’s’ handwriting for verification. It was quickly confirmed that ‘li Nanfeng’ was indeed the person who wrote the ‘death notice’. The case had reached this point, and they had found a breakthrough in this way.
The person who wanted to kill Wu Chunhe had died in the hotel in this way. Was this an accident or a coincidence?
This case within a case made Shen xunran, who was on screen, feel that it was going to be difficult. Not only her, but the audience outside the screen also felt that there was a hand in the dark that was leading everything and making the police busy.
When the movie reached this point, Shu Peien’s entire spirit was tense, afraid of missing a single detail.
Huo Zhiming didn’t film the murder scene, but shupeien and every audience member in the theater recalled the scenes of Su Yi cutting her hair and going out. When these subtle scenes overlapped, it was easy for people to imagine a connection.
Su Yi was the one who killed him!
By piecing together two scenes that happened in two different dimensions and using a montage technique, it gave people the space to imagine. In addition, Shen xuanran had confirmed the handwriting of ‘li Nanfeng’ and combined the two cases together. Su Yi, who was supposed to be ‘uninvolved’ in this case, was also a suspect and pointed out the title of the film.
“Suspect,’suspect’!”
Shu Peien mumbled to himself. He finally understood what Huo Zhiming meant.
The identity of ‘li Nanfeng’ was quickly investigated. His original name was ‘li Nanfeng’, a citizen of Wangjin city. He was married and had two children. His household registration had moved more than a decade ago, and his original registered address was at Qingshui Road, Chang Heng Street, Wangjin city.
That place was the former residence of Su Yi and Wu Chunhe.
According to the information he found, Li Nan Feng and Wu Chunhe were old acquaintances. After Wu Chunhe resigned, the two of them did business together. Most importantly, when Wu Chunhe set up the shell company, Li Nan Feng was involved.
Father SU’s death back then was also related to him demanding for his debt.
“After the demolition of Chang Heng Street, the SU family’s old house was transferred to Li Nan Feng’s name.” Li Nan Feng had also relied on this demolition to make a fortune and live a comfortable life.
In other words, the SU family was the only one who suffered a loss from the ‘debt’ that year. Wu Chun and Li Nan Feng, who had a ‘business partner’, both earned a profit.
In fact, in the eyes of a discerning person, it was obvious that someone had set a trap for the SU family.
At this point in the case, after a thousand twists and turns, they finally managed to get some useful information.
The two cases were now one, and all the aspects involved were once again related to the SU family.
Su Yi happened to return to Wangjin at such a sensitive time. Shen xuanran recalled what Su Yi said when they last met, ” someone threw a bone out. A beggar who was so hungry that his eyes turned green reached out to pick up some benefits. Who knew that before he could pick up the bone, the arm that he stretched out was also chopped off!
At that time, she had said it with a smile. Now, after thinking about it carefully, she had a cold expression when she spoke. Her eyes were hazy, and a dense hostility was hidden in them.
The meaning of her words was clearly that she was certain that her father had been set up!
As Shen xuanran thought of this, she was even more certain that Su Yi had done something.
She called over the police officer who had been watching Su Yi for the past few days and asked him what Su Yi was doing on the day Li Nan Feng died.
The police officer was confused. On the day Li Nan Feng checked into the hotel, the police didn’t keep an eye on Su Yi. They only started to keep an eye on her the next day, but after the second day, there was nothing strange about her whereabouts.
“Have you been to the vicinity of the hotel?”
“I’ve been!” The police officer said with certainty, ” I’ve sat in a nearby coffee shop, but I’ve never been close to the ventilation hotel.
Shen xuanran was shocked. In this case, the date of li Nanfeng’s death could not be confirmed. It could only be deduced that it was on the day of check-in. The time of his death was on the second day. In other words, he could have died on the night of the check-in or on the second day.
On the night he checked into the hotel, the police didn’t keep an eye on Su Yi. The next day, she didn’t do anything, but that could only mean that she had an alibi for Li Nan Feng’s death.
They couldn’t make an accurate deduction to prove that he might have died on the night of his stay. Su Yi wasn’t under the police’s surveillance at that time, so she was also a suspect!
Shen xuanran decided to get the forensic doctor to examine li Nanfeng’s body again. Su Yi was tall and slender. If she wanted to kill a strong man and render him unable to fight back, she had to do something to make the man lose his ability to resist.
At the same time, she got someone to retrieve Li Nan Feng’s call records for the past six months and confirmed that he had indeed contacted Su Yi. From the time, it should have been before the death notice letter about Wu Chunhe was sent.
This further confirmed Shen xuanran’s guess.
Su Yi and Li Nan Feng had contacted each other once in private. The death notice of Wu Chunhe came from Li Nan Feng, and Li Nan Feng died in the Windy hotel. If all of this was related to Su Yi, and just like what she said, her family was close, and she wanted to avenge her parents. If Li Nan Feng was also killed by her, she shouldn’t have used Li Nan Feng’s hand to kill Wu Chunhe. Wouldn’t it be better to kill Li Nan Feng after Wu Chunhe died?
Why did she do something so unnecessary? first, she used Li Nan Feng’s hands to write a ‘death notice’ to inform the police of Wu Chunhe’s death, and then kill Li Nan Feng to make a big deal out of it?
What good would it do her? The police would only pay more attention to Wu Chunhe and keep him under their strict protection. Wouldn’t that go against her plan of ‘killing’?
Shen xuanran furrowed her brows as she recalled the words she had whispered into her ear. “The police can’t help you. You’re too useless!” Her hair stood on end. The breath that was blowing on Shen xunran’s ear when she spoke was extremely cold. She subconsciously touched the back of her neck and her ears.
