Zhan Zhao and others accepted the challenge of the so-called pharmacist and had to solve Mark Fan's murder within fourteen days.

Psychologist Mark Fan, who took an excessive dose of antidotes from illustrators, caused respiratory failure and suffocation.

There are not many clues to the killing at the scene. According to Mark Fan's assistant, Nurse Kim, he would go out with a bouquet of roses every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m.

According to the nurse's previous booking records, Zhan Showa Bai Yutang came to a Four Seasons Hotel about ten minutes away from the clinic.

Since the two entered the hotel, a series of unreasonable clues have begun to follow.

First, neither the hotel waiter nor the lobby manager recognized Mark Fan, but they all remembered a bearded man holding a bouquet of roses, who would appear in the hotel every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. But the man would leave every evening at six or seven.

But Mark Fan was already in his clinic after 4 pm.

Yesterday happened to be Tuesday. According to the receptionist's memories, the bearded man with roses came to the restaurant again, but this time he stayed for the night and has not seen him leave until now.

But the real Markfan has died in his own clinic.

What makes Zhan Showa Bai Yutang feel even more "bad" is the strange structure of this hotel.

Nurse Jin originally booked room No. 2507, but the tenant asked to change to room No. 2603 directly above.

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang found Room 2603, they found another murder case or a very bad corpse dismemberment case.

Although I had long expected that the investigation of the case would not go so smoothly, it was very difficult for Zhan Bai and the others to investigate another case.

Mark Fan's murder case is time-limited. Unless the evidence of guilt is confirmed and the person is captured, it will be difficult to investigate clearly within two weeks. Time was already very tight, but now another one has emerged. Are there any connections between the two cases? Is it possible to investigate two murder cases within two weeks?

...

Gongsun led the forensic team to run into the hotel room, and when he looked at the bathroom, he said that the murderer might have killed someone impulsively.

Based on the evidence left at the scene, Gongsun restored the incident.

At the time of the incident, the deceased was shaving in front of the washbasin, but someone stabbed him in the back.

After the deceased died, the murderer probably wanted to tear the body, but at this time the bathroom floor was covered with blood.

The murderer threw the body into the bathtub.

The bathroom in the restaurant is not big. It is slippery after the ground is bloody, and the bathtub is also slippery. The murderer used to dismember the body a sharp knife, probably similar to the sharp short knife used by the butcher to shave meat.

Anyway, it was all kinds of disassembly, and it was a mess that was not successful in disassembling the body. Moreover, judging from the shape of the footprints, the murderer slid several times by the bathtub.

In addition, the murderer turned on the shower shower, which was also inexplicable.

The body is in the bathtub, and the water is released. If it is a footprint on the bathtub, it is reasonable. What is the point of washing the body? And long-term release of water can easily cause suspicion among residents in the next room. In short, this operation is quite confusing!

...

As Gongsun inferred, indeed, the sound of the showers constantly releasing water attracted the attention of the residents next door.

In Room 2604 next to Room 2603, there was a survey named "Zhou Ping".

This reporter not only knew everyone in SCI, but also attended several press conferences. He happened to be rushing for manuscripts at 2604.

Although Zhou Ping looked tired at this time, he still suggested that the person in the room might have died before Zhan Zhao and the others opened the door of Room 2603, and guessed that he had committed suicide because the water was on since the morning.

In fact, Zhou Ping's "reasoning" is more reasonable than the messy murder scene.

After seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's expression after seeing the corpse, Zhou Ping threw out even more explosive clues - if it was a murder, he might have seen the murderer.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both asked him about the specific situation.

Zhou Ping talked about the story.

He has a habit of staying in a hotel for several days or even weeks while writing, mainly to concentrate and not disturb his family.

There are countless hotels of all sizes in S City, with locations in every corner. Zhou Ping always chooses one at a time, and he likes remote hotels.

That is, according to him, his stay at this Four Seasons Hotel was random.

As for the rooms, when he booked a room, he would choose a high-rise and quiet room.

He has been writing articles in this room for a week. The hotel is home to group tourists. It is noisy at night but it is very quiet during the day because group tourists go out early and come back late, and sometimes even have no one during the whole day.

Zhou Ping has basically never left the room this week. He called room service when he had dinner. He could occasionally hear the sound of opening and closing the door next door, and it was very quiet during other periods.

But this morning, around six o'clock, the shower in the next room turned on.

Zhou Ping got up early to write the article, but the shower head next door was on for nearly an hour and it didn't turn off, which made him unable to concentrate and he was a little irritated.

Zhou Ping ran to knock on the door next door at almost eight o'clock.

As a result, the door opened and a bearded man walked out. He was wearing shaving cream on his face, looking like he was about to shave.

Zhou Ping said that he heard the faucet keep ringing, so he came to knock on the door.

The bearded man said sorry, he took a shower, washed clothes and shaved, so it took a while.

When Zhou Ping returned to the room, the faucet next door had been turned off.

Zhou Ping continued to write.

Then the door next door opened and closed, and Zhou Ping thought that the tenant next door had gone out.

But after a while, the faucet next door opened again, and the sound of the shower came again.

Zhou Ping didn't care much and continued to write, but who knew that the sound of the faucet lasted for a long time and did not stop, so Zhou Ping became very annoyed.

This time, he didn't go to the next door to knock on the door, but called the front desk and said that the faucet next door was ringing.

After the front desk lady answered the phone, she asked the cleaning staff to take a look.

The hotel manager found the front desk where he answered the phone and the cleaner.

The front desk confirmed Zhou Ping's words, and the cleaning aunt said that she knocked at the door and the shower was closed.

Zhou Ping nodded, and he heard his aunt knock on the door, which was indeed the case.

Afterwards, Zhou Ping continued to write, but after a while, the shower sounded again.

Zhou Ping thought that the other party might have done it on purpose, and he hadn't gone out for a long time, so he decided to go to the hotel restaurant for lunch and change his mind.

After lunch, Zhou Ping returned to his room.

He took the elevator to the 25th floor. After leaving the elevator, he did not go through the corridor to the 26th floor, but walked the stairs from the 25th to 26th floors nearby.

But when he was going up the stairs, he saw the door of the stairs on the 26th floor being opened. A strange man wearing a bathrobe, wrapped in a towel on his head, holding a pillow and slippers ran out, walked downstairs quickly, and passed by him.

Zhou Ping saw him enter the security door on the 25th floor.

Zhou Ping did find it strange at that time. He was in broad daylight, so why did this man come out of the bathhouse and hold a pillow. Why did he even wrap his head around while sleeping and his hair didn’t dry?

However, after staying in a hotel for a long time, I met so many weirdos. The reporter from Zhou Da is very knowledgeable, but he didn't take it to his heart when he smiled.

But afterwards he returned to the room and heard that the shower next door was still on, so he had no time to write.

He was so tired that he had been staying up late these days. He fell asleep while lying on the bed. After sleeping for a while, he was woken up by the knocking sound from the door next door. It was when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed the manager to knock on the door.

Zhou Ping thought that someone had come to take care of him, so he got up, lit a cigarette, and prepared to close the water next door, and he was so quiet that he could write the article quietly.

But when he heard the knock on the door for a long time, no one came to open the door. Zhou Ping came out to take a look and recognized Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang at first sight. He guessed what happened next door.

Zhou Ping explained the whole incident very clearly. Of course, the first person Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang suspected was the man who went downstairs in a bathrobe.

Perhaps the faucet is not about washing the body, but about the murderer who was ready to dismember the body after killing the person. But after finding that it was quite difficult to dismember the body, he simply took a shower and washed away all the blood on his body. Then the bloody clothes and weapon were hidden in the pillow case, disguised as pillows and hugged them downstairs. He definitely couldn't go out like this, which would definitely arouse suspicion and had to change into normal clothes first. He went to the 25th floor, which means that he could only be in a room on the 25th floor, because if he wanted to go to another floor, he should take the stairs to the 24th floor security door instead of entering the 25th floor. Of course, it may also be possible that after entering the 25th floor, the other stairs to the 24th floor, but because he was very weird in a bathrobe, it probably wouldn't be so troublesome.

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang instinctively thought of the empty room No. 2507.

At this time, Jiang Ping had already arrived at the hotel's monitoring room.

While going downstairs, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao asked him to check the stairs monitoring at the time when Zhou Ping met a man in the bathrobe.

Sure enough, the images found by Jiang Ping were consistent with what Zhou Ping said.

According to the surveillance of the corridor on the 25th floor, Jiang Ping determined that the man ran to the door of Room 2507, opened the door with the room card, and then went in.

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang had already arrived at the door of Room 2507 with the hotel manager.

The manager opened the door with the room card.

As a result, as soon as everyone entered the door, they heard a scream from inside.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned and saw a pillow flying out towards him.

Bai Yutang was in front of him and dodged away from the pillow. He saw a man and a woman on the bed, both of whom were wearing quite "simple" clothes.

At the same time, Zhan Zhao felt that this woman looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere.

Just as I was wondering, there were two "cracks" sounds coming from outside.

Zhan Zhao turned around and saw Zhou Ping following him at some point, holding his cell phone to take a photo.

The woman covered her face as soon as she saw someone taking a photo. The man got up from the bed and rushed out as if she wanted to grab her phone.

Bai Yutang looked at the fat middle-aged man speechlessly and rushed towards them naked, feeling a little stingy.

Taking a step back, he pushed the hotel manager in front and stopped the naked uncle. Bai Yutang turned around and grabbed Zhou Ping and asked him to delete the photos. It would be illegal to take photos of others' privacy in this way!

Zhou Ping cooperated to delete the photo.

Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered and pointed to the young woman on the bed and said, "I saw their photo on the brochure of a movie by Chen Jiayi. She seemed to be named Yun, and she was an actor."

Bai Yutang was a little confused about the situation, so what? This man was the murderer? Isn’t that awesome? Is there such a good mood after killing and dismembering people? I don’t look like a perverted murderer…
