Chapter 20: Following the Clues

Lock the suspect!

In just twenty minutes, Han Xu had already locked the suspect's whereabouts.

The surveillance footage was finally fixed at a convenient hotel more than ten kilometers away from the crime scene.

The suspect entered the hotel at 3:20 midnight yesterday and never came out.

Han Xu quickly checked the images taken by several cameras around the Convenience Hotel and determined that the suspect was still in the hotel.

"Captain, you didn't run away, you are still in the hotel."

Qin Fen met Han Xu's confident gaze, showed a hearty smile, then slapped the young man's shoulders with both hands, and praised, "Good boy, well done!"

Before Han Xu could say anything else, Qin Fen shouted at Chengzi again, "Chengzi, why are you so stupid? Follow me and arrest him!"

Before Chengzi could agree, Han Xu interrupted, "Captain, I'll go too."

Qin Fen was startled for a moment and said, "You'd better not go. You are the treasure of our police station now. If you get injured."

Han Xu chuckled and said, "It's not like that. I'm just going to see it."

Qin Fen thought for a while before agreeing.

In addition to Han Xu and Chengzi, Qin Fen ordered a few more people and then went to the gun room to collect weapons and equipment.

Because it was unclear whether the suspects were carrying firearms, everyone wore body armor.

Qin Fen even got Han Xu an extra bulletproof shield just in case, which made Han Xu dumbfounded.

With everything ready, the group hurriedly got into the police car and headed straight to the convenience hotel.

…

There was no words along the way, and it didn't take long for everyone to reach their destination.

Qin Fen took the lead and led Han Xu and others into the hotel.

A man in a suit who looked like a lobby manager came up to him, "What are you..."

Cheng Zi directly showed his ID and said, "North Suburban Police Station, investigate the case."

When the lobby manager saw this posture, he immediately understood and guessed that he was here to arrest someone.

"Where are your accommodation registration records and monitoring equipment?"

The lobby manager pointed to the front desk and said as he walked, "The accommodation registration record is at the front desk. We strictly follow the regulations and abide by the laws and regulations here. The ID cards used for guest check-in are all connected to the police station. There can be no wanted criminals living there." Come in."

Han Xu smiled, feeling that he had met a rare smart person, "What's your surname?"

"My surname is Zhang. I am the lobby manager here."

"Oh, hello, Manager Zhang. We are here to check on a person. Have you seen this person?" Han Xu took out his mobile phone and called up the photo of the suspect captured from the surveillance equipment. There was a surveillance camera that happened to take it. to the suspect's face.

The lobby manager took the phone and looked at it carefully for a while, "The picture is a little unclear, but I have seen this person before and he has lived here for a long time. Xiaoli, come and take a look."

After hearing this, the front desk clerk also came over to identify him. His head kept shaking, "Well, yes, this person has lived here for half a year. What is his name? I can't remember."

"Which room does he live in?"

The front desk clerk thought for a moment and slapped his forehead, "606, he lives in room 606."

Han Xu quickly asked, "Is he alone?"

Qin Fen looked at Han Xu in surprise and thought, this guy doesn't look like a novice!

Everything is down to the smallest detail, how come he has more arresting experience than me, an old guy who has been doing this for more than ten years.

What a freak!

The front desk clerk thought about it for a long time before saying, "He also has a friend who doesn't seem to come here often. He might just come and stay for a few days a month."

"Right, let's start taking action." Qin Fen was impatient, rolled up his sleeves and was about to start grabbing.

Han Xu objected, "Captain, don't worry, he can't escape. Let's take a look at the surveillance camera."

If anyone else had said this, they would have been retorted by the grumpy Qin Fen. But when the criminal investigation captain saw that the words came from Han Xu's mouth, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Now it was the turn of the lobby manager and several front desk staff to be stunned.

what happened?

How could a dignified criminal investigation captain listen to a young man?

Upside down?

…

At Han Xu's suggestion, Chengzi and Li Le led people to block the front and rear doors of the hotel to prevent the suspect from escaping.

Han Xu and Qin Fen went to check the surveillance video.

The monitoring equipment of Convenient Hotel is placed in the monitoring room in the backyard.

The equipment here is quite complete and formal, and there are not many blind spots for surveillance.

Han Xu calmly checked the surveillance footage on the sixth floor and lobby of the hotel over the past few days, and indeed found the suspect inside several times.

Qin Fen couldn't help but ask, "What's the use of checking these surveillance cameras?"

Han Xu smiled and replied, "I suspect that the murderer was hired by someone, and there is a mastermind behind it."

"Expand it."

"I just read the suspect's identity information from Lao Zhang in the car. This guy's name is Wang Changlin. He is from outside and has lived in Yancheng for half a year.

His daily life is very regular. He stays in the hotel most of the day and only goes out for a few hours at night.

It doesn't look like he's here to do business or to go to work.

I guess he goes out every night to check out the spots.

The target is Wang Zhang, the owner of the antique shop.

It's just that this guy is not very professional and his work is not very good.

It's not like a professional killer, at most he's a dabbler. "

Qin Fen touched his chin, "That makes sense. What about the other suspect?"

Han Xu did not keep the secret and replied, "The other suspect is very likely to be a local of Yancheng. Unfortunately, these surveillance cameras are cleaned regularly and no trace of the other suspect has been found."

"What should we do next? I'll listen to you."

Han Xu took out a lighter and fired a few times, saying directly, "Let's kill Wang Changlin first. I don't believe we can't pry his mouth open."

"Okay! I'm waiting for you to say this."

Qin Fen picked up the intercom and gave instructions quickly.

A few minutes later, Chengzi and several police officers surrounded Room 606 on the sixth floor of the hotel.

"Ding ding ding..." A police officer knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" An impatient voice came out.

"Room service, clean the room."

"Didn't we just clean it this morning? Is it over yet?" There was another rustling sound of dressing in the room.

Chengzi made a prompt decision and winked at the police officer next to him.

The police officer received the order and quickly used the hotel spare card to unlock the room door, then stepped aside.

Chengzi kicked the door open and rushed in first.
