Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 134 - 127: The Body That Died Before Falling from the Building

"He's disguising the victim's suicide by jumping off a building!?"

Xu Liang frowned deeply and turned to look at Chen Changchun beside him.

Chen Changchun nodded.

"That's right."

"At present, this is a murder case disguised as a suicide."

"What about the rooftop? Has the police checked there for information?"

Xu Liang asked again.

Hearing this question, Chen Changchun didn't rush to answer. He raised the flashlight in his hand.

"Click! Click!"

The light flickered twice.

Then, the rooftop responded with two flickers of light.

Seeing this, Xu Liang understood everything.

The police had already stationed personnel on the rooftop!

"Currently, I've instructed the police team to divide the target into two parts."

"First, search the rooftop for traces related to the victim or an individual."

"Second, opening the rooftop's..."

As he spoke, Chen Changchun's eyes glistened, and he said in a deep voice:

"Key!"

The police team in Hongfu District are not amateurs.

They used to be the best police team in Hanhai City, with the municipal bureau eager to recruit their talents.

And after undergoing special training with Conscience Law Firm in three cases...

Their investigative abilities became particularly outstanding!

Though they've only officially investigated the scene for two and a half hours, they've actually gathered a significant amount of information.

"The rooftop shows signs of cleaning, but the technique is very immature. It appears to be a collective crime at present," said Chen Changchun.

Xu Liang nodded.

This is not the primary murder scene, and the police have found no clues nearby, which can only prove that the crime scene is quite distant.

Dragging a body to the highest floor of a hotel two or three hours after death would be extremely strenuous for one person!

The weight of a body feels worlds apart after death compared to when alive!

"Moreover, the act seems to be carried out by a relatively young gang."

Xu Liang added, "Their thoughts are not thorough enough."

The perpetrators disguised the body as a suicide, yet completely failed to realize that the postmortem expressions and blood would reveal information.

Coupled with the immature cleanup traces... it currently appears... the perpetrators are generally young.

Meanwhile.

"There's something wrong with the door on the rooftop."

Chen Changchun suddenly spoke.

This pertains to why the perpetrator and the victim ended up on the rooftop!

Generally, only hotel staff are allowed access, and even if you want to enter, you can't, because most hotels lock the doors.

Under such circumstances.

There are only three ways to get in.

"Force the lock! Pick the lock! Unlock it!"

"There are no marks of forced entry on the door, so that leaves picking or unlocking the lock."

"Currently, hotel staff have been brought in for questioning. According to the statements, only the hotel manager, the cleaner, and security have keys."

Chen Changchun shared the intelligence once more.

The police have already questioned the three, but based on their judgment...

All three have alibis.

"The hotel manager was resting at home during the incident and only drove to the scene after receiving the police summons."

"The security guard was always at the security booth and was the first to report to the police."

"The cleaning staff had all clocked out, and one was found asleep without a phone when the police visited, so they had no opportunity to commit the crime."

"Furthermore, none of the three had lost their keys or lent them out."

Excluding the three suspects.

Chen Changchun then crossed out these three suspects.

"So, there's a possibility the criminals picked the lock to enter."

"Of course, we can't rule out the keys being stolen and duplicated beforehand."

Chen Changchun added another comment.

"What about surveillance?"

"Have you checked the hotel surveillance?"

Xu Liang inquired.

Regarding this, Chen Changchun was even more perplexed.

"The surveillance records show no trace of the suspect."

"No... to be precise, the suspect bringing the body upstairs wasn't captured by any camera!"

"In addition, after the police checked all registered hotel guests, no one was missing, and the deceased wasn't a hotel guest."

Hearing this, Xu Liang's brows furrowed tightly.

Based on what the other side has said, he could think of two suspicious points.

One.

There are surveillance cameras at both the elevator and the main entrance, so if the suspect took the elevator from the main entrance, they would definitely be noticed.

But in reality, they weren't.

Did they bypass all surveillance points?

If so, that indirectly proves that they are very familiar with the hotel's layout!

"Is there a route completely devoid of surveillance cameras?"

Xu Liang asked.

"Enter through the underground parking, take the elevator from the garage, open the door on the top floor, and then go up to the rooftop."

"The underground parking has only two surveillance points, focusing on monitoring vehicles, without any view of the elevator."

Chen Changchun replied.

"Currently, that's the police's hypothesis."

Elevators from 2004 mostly didn't have surveillance. Even though Jinjiang Hotel is good, it's decades old, and the elevators were installed long ago, certainly without surveillance.

Xu Liang was surprised.

"Looking at it this way... the suspect is very familiar with the hotel's layout!"

He muttered, "Knowing there's little surveillance in the underground, and none in the elevator..."

It's no wonder Chen Changchun spent a lot of police resources investigating those with keys.

No matter how you look at it, internal staff are highly suspicious!

Yet, paradoxically, each has an alibi...

His thoughts were in turmoil.

Xu Liang pondered for a moment and finally focused on the second point of suspicion.

Which is...

"Who is the deceased?"

Xu Liang suddenly shifted his gaze to the corpse lying on the ground.

His eyes grew more serious.

The victim was only 1.6 meters tall, not very old, and judging by appearance, should be in school.

The body was emaciated, with ribs distinctly visible...

Who is this person?

"I don't know."

Chen Changchun replied solemnly.

This is another problem the police are currently striving to solve.

Last night, precisely on the night of the 6th at ten o'clock, the victim had been dead for at least two hours.

Yet now it's already three o'clock...

"The police have not received any calls!" Liu Jin interjected.

In the middle of the night, a child disappeared for nearly 12 hours, yet...

No one called the police!!!
