Chapter 143 The murder weapon that doesn’t exist?

Han Xu followed Cheng Zi's fingers and found something familiar.

Monitoring camera!

However, looking at the location, it is obvious that the hotel next door has specially installed it to monitor the back door.

Chengzi scratched his head, "It's a pity that the location is too far forward and I didn't even take a picture of the two garbage bins. Who set up this? It's so unprofessional!"

Han Xu had no time to care about Chengzi's complaints, but went straight to the back door of the hotel.

Standing at that angle, he looked up at the surveillance camera and said, "There aren't too many blind spots. We should be able to capture something. Come on, Orange, let's go take a look at the surveillance footage."

After some contact, the hotel quickly gave the green light.

Orange was in the hotel monitoring room, skillfully adjusting the time slot for the night of the 12th.

"Just play the video after 9:20 pm."

Hearing this, Chengzi quickly fixed the time at that time period.

The surveillance screen jumped frame by frame, and Han and Xu stared at it for fear of missing any detail.

However, nothing changed in the surveillance footage.

After 9:20 that night and until the early morning, the surveillance cameras captured nothing.

Chengzi leaned back on his chair dejectedly, "What's going on? There's nothing!"

Han Xu also became confused.

At this time, the hotel security manager said at the right time, "A few days ago, the police officer from Xizhi checked the surveillance camera."

Han Xu guessed that Yu Tianfang, the great fisherman, had already arrived, and he probably didn't find anything, so he let this clue go.

Otherwise, with Yu Tianfang's ability, how could he not find out the route of action of Victim No. 1?

Cheng Zi wondered, "What should we do now?"

Han Xu frowned and thought about the monitoring location again.

Although the back alley of the hotel is not spacious, the angle of the surveillance camera is indeed very problematic.

"Is the angle of this surveillance picture always like this?"

The hotel security manager was obviously stunned by Han Xu's sudden question.

Then he tried to think back for a moment, touched the back of his head, and frowned, "Don't tell me, this angle is too weird. When I installed it, I didn't remember it being this angle."

When Chengzi heard that there was something going on, he immediately understood and gave Han Xu a thumbs up.

Then quickly adjust the surveillance screen.

Sure enough, a full week later, the angle of the surveillance screen had changed.

On the 5th, the surveillance camera was turned from a blind angle.

It was this subtle adjustment that caused a blind spot in the surveillance screen.

The security manager on the side was confused when he saw that the probe had been moved. He didn't know what was going on.

Han Xu felt confident. It was obvious that the suspect was not innocent.

The two walked out of the hotel and went to the back alley.

Chengzi started brainstorming and said confidently, "This kid came prepared! Could it be that he picked the target randomly?"

Han Xu paused for a moment and then said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but it cannot be proved that the other party did not randomly select the target. It is also possible that they just stepped in and waited for the target. If the victim was different, they might also attack."

Chengzi nodded, agreeing with Han Xu's conclusion.

Han Xu continued, "Xizhi has checked the call records of victim No. 1 Lisa Liu. The last call was made by her boyfriend Guo Feng at 9:40 pm. Lisa Liu most likely received this call. After getting off the bus and passing through the back alley of the hotel, he was robbed.”

Chengzi understood, "So, Lisa Liu's boyfriend has serious suspicions!"

"But Xizhi also checked Guo Feng's whereabouts. On the night of the 12th, he was indeed in Yaoyang City, not Yancheng. There was no time to commit the crime."

"Is this weird? Could it be that someone really set up an ambush a week in advance, waiting to kidnap young girls? Isn't that too perverted?"

Han Xu nodded and said, "This is the most likely possibility, but the victim Liu Lisa is not a young girl."

"But we can't deny that the victim was very beautiful!" Chengzi's focus was understandable.

Of course, Han Xu had also seen photos of the victim, and some of the artistic photos were too fashionable, completely opposite to Liu Lisa's own frugal life style, and she didn't even look like a teacher.

He thought of a possibility, but needed to verify it.

Next, Han Xu took Chengzi to thoroughly investigate the back alley of the hotel.

A surprising discovery was made!

Several bricks were found in the corner of the alley behind the hotel.

Orange asked in confusion, "What's wrong with these bricks?"

Han Xu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? Xiao Xiao said before that the injury to the back of victim No. 1's head was probably caused by a brick. So this is most likely the scene of the first crime!"

Chengzi slapped his forehead, "Oh, look at my memory! But there is obviously no blood on these bricks! They shouldn't be murder weapons, right?"

Han Xu was noncommittal, but asked Chengzi to go to the hotel to find out where these bricks came from.

Because there really shouldn’t be red bricks for construction in this place!

Cheng Zi took the order and came back after a while.

"I asked the security manager, and he said that these bricks were leftover from the hotel's interior renovation a month ago, and they had been piled here without any care."

Han Xu was speechless after hearing this, "There are two large trash cans in front of you, and there are only a few bricks, and you can't even take care of them?"

Chengzi smiled and said, "If the leader doesn't say anything, how can the people below be so diligent? Are those two large garbage bins dozens of meters away from here?"

After hearing what Chengzi said, Han Xu was suddenly stunned.

Then he went straight to the two large trash cans!

Chengzi sometimes has a bright mind and suddenly understands what Han Xu is doing!

"Could the bricks used by the murderer to shoot people be thrown into the trash can?"

Han Xu didn't even look back, "Don't let go of any clues!"

Then, the two of them spent all their efforts and turned over the two large trash cans despite the torture of the stinking smell!

Unfortunately nothing was found!

There are no bricks inside!

Orange's face was turned green, and he didn't care so much. He sat down on the ground and said, "I just said no, it's really a fool's errand! Look at my clothes, what do you think I should do?"

"I'll wash it for you, okay?" Han Xu squatted on the spot, looking at the mess on the ground, still a little unwilling.

Upon seeing this, Chengzi said, "Since this place is so close to the seaside, it is more likely that the murderer threw the bricks into the sea after taking pictures of the people, right? We can't go to the sea to retrieve bricks, right? Or maybe, this is not the first scene at all. That brick doesn’t exist!”

Han Xu had not thought about this possibility, but his subconscious told him that the murderer did not throw the bricks into the sea.
