deep white secret

Chapter 147 Wig
A few days later, several members of the criminal investigation team gathered together again to analyze the case. Xu Jie was also thinking about this issue:

"Tell me, who took what Li Wenhai was looking for? According to current analysis, it was only the murderer!"

"Captain Xu, is it because we have not identified the murderer for so long because we went in the wrong direction? Was the murderer's purpose to kill? Or did he kill Meng Xiangren simply to take away the drugs?"

After Zhang Lei finished speaking, Ma Mingjie said:
"Judging from the scene, the possibility of a vendetta is high. Is it simply robbery and murder? If it is robbery and murder, the murderer must be very familiar with Meng Xiangren. However, we have repeatedly investigated and found this person."

"Also, we are currently targeting this woman. Is she the murderer?"

Xu Jie took the simulated portrait handed over by Shi Yihang and looked at it carefully for a while:
"This is a portrait of the suspect drawn by the cleaning staff of the Royal Garden Hotel based on their memories. Take a look at it later."

The girl is in her 20s, with long hair, big eyes and plump cheeks.

Xu Jie always felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but after closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Xu Jie had no clue.

It is not yet certain whether this woman is the murderer, but she was indeed the last person to appear next to Meng Xiangren that night.

Xu Jie was puzzled.

Meng Xiangren was tall and strong. If this woman was the murderer, how could she kill Meng Xiangren?

Meng Xiangren did not have any mechanical trauma on his body. How could a woman kill Meng Xiangren without leaving any traces?

And the most important thing is, how did she escape?

There could be no problem with the surveillance video, so how could a person disappear out of thin air?
As of today, it has been five days since Ningxia entered Ruby. As time goes by, Xu Jie becomes more and more anxious.

He hoped that he could find out the truth immediately, at least the cause of Meng Xiangren's death.

Thinking of Ningxia alone facing the complex environment of the club, and facing Li Wenhai, the identified leader of the drug gang, Xu Jie had never had such worries.

Xu Jie felt that his condition was not good, very bad.

Ma Mingjie came over:

"Head, what do we do now?"

"Take the portrait to the Royal Garden Hotel and ask every waiter if anyone else has seen this person that night."

Xu Jie stood up with the portrait in hand:
"I'll go to the Ruby Club and ask. This woman always interacts with Meng Xiangren."

Xu Jie also hopes that this time he can openly see how Ningxia is doing now.

Just as Xu Jie was about to leave, he received a call from his mother.

"Xu Jie, you and Ningxia haven't called each other for several days. How are we going to make arrangements for the National Day?"

Xu Jie was stunned. Ningxia went to perform a mission. Xu Jie had long forgotten that the parents of both parties wanted to meet during the National Day.

"Mom, I forgot, Ningxia is on a mission, National Day... our plans may have to be delayed."

Xu Jie looked at the calendar on his desk and saw that there were only four days left before National Day.

"It seems that we have to book it on New Year's Day."

Mother Xu hesitated for a moment, then changed her tone to a more relaxed tone:

"Okay, I will listen to you, but Ningxia will go on a mission? Is it dangerous?"

"It's okay, she's fine."

"That's good. You must take care of yourself. Your father and I are both very good. You don't have to worry about it. Ningxia, on the other hand, must be very hard to perform the mission. You should take more care of her."

Xu Jie hummed and remembered something:

"By the way, Mom, the night you and Dad came to Jinghai City, after Ning Xia and I left, did you notice anything unusual?"

"Abnormal? What is that?"

"A murder occurred on the third floor that night."

"Third floor? Oh my god, we didn't go out after you and Ning Xia left."

"it is good."

Xu Jie sighed. In fact, he already knew this.

"but……"

Mother Xu thought thoughtfully:
"Xu Jie, I don't know what information you need to investigate the case. If I have an impression, I do remember one thing."

Xu Jie's heart rose to his throat:
"what?"

"Your father and I started the car at five o'clock in the morning. When we went out at four o'clock, two cleaning staff were arguing at the elevator entrance. One of them said that she was on the third floor. The cleaning staff on the fifth floor was annoying. Why did she push her cleaning cart to the fifth floor? Fire escape.”

"Fire escape?"

In the flash of lightning, Xu Jie thought of something:
"Mom, thank you so much."

Before Xu's mother could answer, Xu Jie hung up the phone and quickly ran to Shi Yihang:
"Quickly, call up the surveillance that night. I know how the murderer escaped."

Xu Jie's voice was quiet but full of excitement. Ma Mingjie and Zhang Leigang were about to go out to run for clues, but they all gathered around after hearing Xu Jie's words.

Ma Mingjie asked eagerly:
"Captain Xu, what's going on?"

"My mom, my parents stayed at the Royal Garden Hotel that night. What she said just now reminded me."

Everyone was still confused. Shi Yihang had already projected the video surveillance of that night.

I have seen the scene countless times. Meng Xiangren and the girl entered the elevator on the first floor around 20:03, and they walked out of the elevator at 20:05.

"The time of Meng Xiangren's murder is locked between 10 and 11 pm. Now we are screening them one by one."

Eight pairs of eyes were fixed on the screen. There were only a dozen people coming in and out before 11 o'clock, clearly excluding guests 3112 and 3116.

"We have completely eliminated the guests. Zhang Lei, you have seen the cleaning staff on the third floor. Look, among these people, the cleaning staff came and went eight times."

When the investigation reached [-]:[-], Xu Jie pointed at the screen and asked Shi Yihang to pause:
"Look, the cleaning lady had nothing in her hands at this time, and her face was clearly photographed. Zhang Lei, is that the person you asked?"

The video pixels are very low, but Zhang Lei is still very sure:

"is her."

"This housekeeper is on duty that night. She should be going to bed at this time. Zhang Lei, please check with this housekeeper immediately."

Next, at 10:40 pm in the video, a woman pushing a cleaning cart appeared in the video. Xu Jie asked everyone excitedly:
"Everyone said, now that the cleaning lady has left, who is this person?"

Several people were excited.

Shi Yihang tried his best to enlarge the image. The larger the result, the blurrier it became. However, it was still obvious that this person was taller than the cleaner just now and had shorter hair.

Although the man tried hard to avoid the camera, he still got a very clear sideways shot while waiting for the elevator.

"But it's not right."

Shi Yihang was the first to discover the problem:
"Captain Xu, doesn't the suspect we suspect have long hair? Look at the portrait, but this person obviously has short hair."

"wig!"

Xu Jie stared at everyone with certainty:

"We have been misled all this time, and the murderer is this woman."

Xu Jie held up the simulated portrait next to Shi Yihang's computer:
"It's her, but this woman has short hair. She knew that we would definitely investigate after the incident, so she deliberately asked the cleaning staff for a rubber band to leave an impression. We will never doubt the first witness's clues."

"Head, then this woman pushed the cleaning cart away? But where did her cleaning clothes come from? Where did she push the cart?"

"On the fifth floor, this woman is probably a guest of the Royal Garden Hotel. The cleaning staff is running around the hotel. We will subconsciously rule it out when we check and monitor. This is why the murderer played us around."
