Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 1014 Delaying the Time of Death (3)
"This is necessary. I am also very sad about Xiao Wang's death. I really didn't expect that he would be murdered after I left. If I had known this, if I had been with him, the murderer would not have been able to succeed." He said Face sad.

"What is Wang Wenbing's occupation?"

"He is a colleague of mine. He works as a manager at Huangdu KTV in Xiyan City. We have known each other for three years. Every time he comes to the provincial capital, he will contact me. On the evening of the 14th, we sang in the Huan Sing KTV. I helped He arranged for a lady to sit on the stage, and after singing, he asked me to take him to the Phoenix Foot Bath Center for a massage, so I took him there."

"Are you singing in that room of the KTV? Is there anyone else besides you, him and that lady?"

"We were singing in room 808, and there was no one else except the three of us. Because regular customers often asked me to drink, I left room 808 from time to time. Later, when I was paying, I found that he and the lady had drank two boxes of Budweiser beer. There are 24 bottles in one box. Of course, I paid for it.”

"At what time did he contact you?"

"About 8 p.m., I'll know the exact time by looking at my phone." He took out his phone and checked the call history.Then he said, "He called me at 7:48."

"What's he doing in the provincial capital?"

"He said he came to play because the business of their KTV was not good. He asked for leave from his boss and came to the provincial capital, planning to play for two days before going back. Unexpectedly, he actually... Well, maybe it's his life. It's really pitiful!" He seemed sorry.

"Do you keep in touch often?"

"We don't contact each other very often. We call about seven or eight times a month. If we don't have anything important to do, we always chat on WeChat."

"Did you know he had enemies?"

"I don't know that. He and I are just friends. I don't know him well. You have to ask his relatives and friends about this."

"Did Wang Wenbing say that he wanted to stay overnight at the Phoenix Foot Bath Center?"

"Yes, he said he was drunk and felt dizzy. He didn't want to find a room elsewhere. He just wanted to sleep there, so I left."

"We have checked the surveillance video at the front door of Phoenix Foot Bath Center. You left Phoenix Foot Bath Center at 1:35 that night. Where did you go after you left Phoenix Foot Bath Center?"

"Oh, when I just walked out of the gate of Phoenix Foot Bath Center, my friend He Lin called me and asked me to go to the Gold Coast for a late-night snack. I agreed, so I called a taxi at the gate of Phoenix Foot Bath Center and rushed there I ate late night snacks on the Gold Coast and didn’t go home until 4am.”

"Do you often go to Phoenix Foot Bath Center for massage?"

“I don’t go there very often, maybe three or four times a month. If I have friends coming over and need entertainment, I will take them there for massage, because their service is very good and the technicians’ skills are also very good, so I go there. Massage is my go-to place.”

"You and Wang Wenbing should have eaten snacks while singing at KTV, right?"

"Wang Wenbing didn't order snacks, he only ordered a large bowl of watermelon. He is an alcoholic. As long as he has wine, he doesn't need snacks."

"Do you also pay for the singing at Huanxing KTV?"

"Yes, when he came to see me in the provincial capital, of course I paid the bill. When I went to Xiyan City to see him, he also paid the bill. Reciprocity is necessary."

"Which restaurant on the Gold Coast did you have a late night snack at?"

"Oh, we were having a late night snack at a Phoenix restaurant."

"How many people can eat in total?"

"There are a total of eight people including me, four boys and four girls. All four are young girls. I don't know them. The three boys are all my friends. Their names are Luo Dong, Qiu Xianwang and Lin Ke."

"Okay, let's talk about this today. If you think of anything suspicious, please call us." Jiang Yiming stood up, handed him a business card, and walked out of his company with Zhou Ting.

They went to the Phoenix Restaurant on the Gold Coast to check with the owner Shi Yilin. Shi Yilin said that there were indeed 8 male and female customers sitting at No. 5 for late-night snacks, which lasted until 4 a.m.Jiang Yiming asked him to pull up the surveillance video and let them watch it. The surveillance video proved that Lin Chao was not lying.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke came to Phoenix Foot Bath Center. They went to find Xie Nana. Zhao Minglei told them that Xie Nana hadn't come to work yet. Wu Jiang felt strange and asked, "It's already 3 p.m., why hasn't she come yet?" Are you at work?" "Oh, she asked for leave, saying she wasn't feeling well, and took two days off." Zhao Minglei said with a smile while sitting on the executive chair in the office.

"What's wrong with her? We have something urgent to look for her. Can you call her?" Wu Jiang was a little worried that she was an insider, and left the city out of fear.

"She said she had a cold... Let me give it a try." He took out his mobile phone, pulled Xie Nana's mobile number out of the address book, dialed it, and the call went through. He said, "Nana, there are two people from the city bureau The police officer wants to question you, can you come to the store?"

"I'm so weak that I really can't walk... How about I ask you two to come to my dormitory?" she said apologetically.

"Okay, let me ask..." he asked after hanging up the phone, "Two police officers, Xie Nana said she was too weak to come here. How about you go to the dormitory to find her..." Before he could finish, Xie Nana called Zhao Minglei and said that she should come over.He then conveyed her words to Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke.

After a while, Xie Nana came. She was tall and thin, like a willow that could not withstand the wind. She was wearing a sky-blue uniform, with curvaceous curves, bulging front and back, perfect.His face was pale, haggard, and sickly, his eyes and nose were beautiful, his lips were as red as fire, he might have a fever, and he looked pitiful.

She quietly sat on the sofa, combed her messy hair with her fingers, looked at Wu Jiang and asked, "Two police officers, what do you want to ask? I will try my best to tell you everything I know."

"Do you know Wang Wenbing?"

"I don't know him. He must be a customer who comes to our place for the first time."

"Through our analysis, we believe that the murderer should be your male customer. We want to know how many customers you have here after 9:15 a.m. on September 1th? It is best to have detailed information, such as their name, age, occupation, Consumption situation, etc.”

"How many customers do I want to check? Because we are in a [-]-[-] relationship with technicians, technicians account for [-]%, and our boss accounts for [-]%, so we can know it once we check it, and we also know the consumption situation. However, we cannot know the name of the customer. , age, occupation." She said weakly, trying to open her eyes as much as possible to speak.

"How do customers generally pay for their purchases?"

“The vast majority of payments are made using WeChat or Alipay.”

"That's great, as long as they pay using these two methods, we can find out their names and mobile phone numbers. Do you have someone specializing in accounting?"

"Of course, she is our treasurer. Her name is Yan Wei. She is also responsible for keeping accounts, but she keeps them on the computer. Why don't you go find her? She is at work." She seemed to want to leave here and not want to go back. Keep talking, is a cold that serious?Or is she trying to escape from something?
"Okay, you can rest here for a while. We may have something else to ask you." Wu Jiang stood up, walked out with Xiao Ke, came to the bar, and asked the girl sitting next to the computer: "Excuse me, your name is Yan Wei." Yeah?"

"Yes, do you need my help?" She is relatively short, with watery and beautiful eyes.

"We need to check the details of the customers who spent money at your place after 9:15 a.m. on September 1th. Can you print out the bill and show it to us?"

"No problem, please wait." She pulled up the accounting sheet at that time, then turned on the power of the printer, pressed the print button with the mouse on the computer, and as the printer beeped twice, the A4 paper There were two sheets of printing paper coming out of the printer. She picked up the printed accounting slip and handed it to Wu Jiang.

Wu Jiang took it and looked at it. It said which room had the customer, who was responsible for customer service, how many hours of service, what project, how much was consumed and the payment method were all written on it.The last customer left at 4:[-] am that day.

From 9:15 a.m. to 1:4 a.m. on September 21, a total of 21 customers were consuming, all of them male customers.If there is no special way to escape the three monitors, the murderer is among these 21 customers. However, if we have to investigate all [-] customers one by one, the workload will be huge, and it will be difficult to obtain evidence.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke conducted a detailed inspection of every room in the Phoenix Foot Bath Center and found that the door was the only exit in all rooms. Unless the murderer dug a tunnel, got into Room 14 from the underground, and killed Wang Wenbing, there would definitely be three entrances and exits. monitor.But no murderer would be stupid enough to dig a tunnel and enter the crime scene to commit the crime. Because it was Wang Wenbing's first time to go to Phoenix Foot Bath Center for a massage, the murderer had absolutely no idea that Wang Wenbing would appear in Private Room 14 at that time.

"Ms. Yan, do you know any of these 21 customers?"

"I'm sorry, our customers never register their names. Customers who come to places like this are generally afraid of revealing their identity information. Besides, it's not my responsibility to receive customers, but the task of the foreman and the receptionist. You'd better ask Xie Na Na."

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke returned to the office and asked Xie Nana: "Ms. Xie, do you know the customers here?" Wu Jiang handed her the bill.

She took it and looked at it and said: "There is no name on this bill. There is only a record of the services required by the customer and the amount consumed. How can I see it? You'd better ask the technicians who served the customer at that time. They We face customers directly, so we know better.”

"Okay, what time did you get off work in the early morning of the day of the crime?"

"I normally got off work that day at 4 a.m."
