Chapter 67: Deja Vu (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

"It's the Black-Faced God. How unlucky!"

"He lives nearby, so he must be in charge of the case..."

Seeing this, the neighbors who were familiar with this man's behavior immediately backed away.

Zhou Yongnian frowned and looked at the young police officer who was vomiting at the door.

"Your first day in the serious crime squad? Have you never seen a dead person? Da Tou Cong, are you a little girl?"

Seeing that the young police officer lowered his head and dared not say anything, he softened his tone and asked:
"What's the situation in there?"

The young police officer nicknamed "Big Head Cong" immediately raised his head and answered:
"The forensic doctor is examining the body and Abang is recording his statement."

Zhou Yongnian nodded when he heard this, and continued to ask as he walked inside:
"Have you found the tools used to commit the crime?"

"This one……"

Da Tou Cong, who was following behind him, glanced at him, hesitated, and seemed unable to speak.

"Tell me, I'm not a rookie, what haven't I seen?"

Zhou Yongnian was a little impatient.

"It should be with my hands and teeth..."

Da Tou Cong answered again hesitantly.

Zhou Yongnian was stunned when he heard this, but he did not seem surprised or unbelievable.

"Hurry up and clean your mouth. Maintain your reputation as a police officer."

He glared at the young detective seriously.

Then, under the slightly respectful gazes of his subordinates, he strode up the stairs and walked towards the room on the second floor.

Less than half a minute later, there seemed to be another sound of vomiting coming from above.

Then there were hurried footsteps coming from top to bottom.

Facing the puzzled looks of the people at the door, Zhou Yongnian touched the corner of his mouth, coughed, and sighed:
"My wife made me some black chicken soup last night and I ate too much. I don't feel well and my stomach is not feeling well."

He paused and waved towards the stairs: "Abang, bring someone down to talk!"

....................................

In the lobby on the first floor.

The woman wearing fur and heavy makeup held a cigarette between her fingers, looking a little impatient.

Standing next to him was a little girl with tattered and thin clothes and a timid expression.

"She is your daughter?"

"How could I have such a burden? Her mother is lying in there."

"Dead too?"

"I got some powder."

Abang held a notebook and a ballpoint pen in his hand and kept recording the confession.

Zhou Yongnian stood aside and listened, his brows slightly frowned.

Things like attracting fans seem insignificant compared to murder cases.

According to the on-site investigation, four people died in this inconspicuous little hotel last night.

One of the bodies was so bloody and mangled that it was no longer in human form when it was found.

At present, we can only confirm through confessions that the deceased was a female tenant who had lived here for a long time.

The other three male victims were also tenants.

Their deaths were somewhat dignified, with only their heads missing or their limbs torn off.

The tragic scene was as if a ferocious beast had broken in and was wantonly venting its brutal desire for killing.

In the end, there were only three survivors left in the entire hotel.

Maybe more than that!

There must have been other passengers who escaped in the rain overnight.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yongnian flipped through the registration list in his hand, and his thick brows knitted even tighter.

Despite the city's repeated instructions, all service places providing accommodation must register with real ID cards.

However, there are still some irregular businesses that deliberately ignore this and just fill in a random name and pay the money to get a room card.

If we count the number of people registered on the list, there are obviously other witnesses who have been missed.

The innkeeper stood in front of the police, giving a long statement but avoiding some key questions. "It has been raining a lot lately, so there is not much business. Last night it was raining heavily, so I left Xiao Zheng alone to look after the store. Who would have thought that he... Alas..."

She sighed, and then said mysteriously:
"Officer, let me tell you, this mother and daughter are very suspicious. They have only been staying at my place for a few days, yet they dare to steal other guests' things. I think this case must be related to them..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yongnian nodded thoughtfully and gave instructions to several of his men.

"Wake up that woman, and take this little girl and the frightened guy back to the police station."

Then he pointed at the proprietress who was dressed up beautifully.

"Take her away as well. As the prime suspect, interrogate her strictly."

"Oh, Brother Zhou!"

The proprietress was immediately startled and hurriedly shook her hands to explain:

"We are doing legitimate business and would never dare to do anything illegal..."

Zhou Yongnian's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at her:
"Do you think I don't know that your husband is a gang leader and you are just a pimp. What else do you want me to say?"

"I...I'm going to find your superior and sue you for defamation and abuse of power!"

"The people who have sued me can line up from Jiangbei to Xiguan, and it won't even be your turn."

Zhou Yongnian said something and walked out first, while urging other police officers:

"Clean up the scene quickly. Don't miss any clues. Interrogate the residents around here. Someone must have heard or seen something last night..."

"If reporters come here, keep your mouth shut, or you'll be criticized again!"

"Yes, sir!", "Yes, team leader."

As the police officers saluted in response, Zhou Yongnian strode out of the hotel.

He glanced at the vehicles parked on the street and prepared to wrap his head with clothes and run over.

Suddenly I caught a glimpse of my daughter holding a colorful umbrella and walking out of the crowd.

Next to her was a very familiar young man.

"dad."

"Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Xiumei walked quickly towards him, holding another umbrella under her arm.

Fang Cheng also followed with an umbrella and greeted Zhou Yongnian.

Just now when he went downstairs, he was about to go to the scene to check the situation.

I happened to meet Zhou Xiumei who was delivering an umbrella to her father.

The two of them then set out together.

"Sister, please stay at home recently. Don't run around and don't open the door to strangers."

Zhou Yongnian took the umbrella and gave his daughter some instructions.

He turned his head and glanced at Fang Cheng, then said:

"Ah Cheng, you have to be careful too."

Fang Cheng nodded in response, and after a slight hesitation, he couldn't help but ask:
"Uncle Zhou, is the murderer a serial killer?"

Zhou Yongnian's eyes flickered slightly, and he shook his head to deny:

"This case is different from the previous ones, don't think too much about it."

Fang Cheng still said:
"Uncle Zhou, I may have seen the murderer's appearance last night."

Zhou Yongnian was stunned for a moment, then patted Fang Cheng on the shoulder:

"Then get in the car with me and go back to the police station to record your statement."

He turned around and got into the car, starting the engine.

He didn't even have time to go home, and he was rushing to the police station to handle a case.

The other two detectives took three witnesses and the hotel owner back in another patrol car.

In the misty drizzle, among a group of adults, there was a figure that looked particularly thin and frail.

When the little girl raised her leg to get on the bus, she suddenly turned around and looked at Fang Cheng who was standing next to her.

Her eyes were like bright amber, deep in color yet clear and flawless.

Fang Cheng also noticed that she was peeking at him.

I didn't pay much attention to it, I just thought that the little girl seemed familiar.
