At 1 pm on the fourth day of the incident, the Wharton Hotel in South City.

Lu Siyu's car was parked in the parking lot of the Wharton Hotel. With the identity information used by Zhang Peicai before his death, it was much easier to find his whereabouts. Before his disappearance, Zhang Peicai had stayed at the Wharton Hotel for a period of time.Wharton is an old hotel in South City.The transportation here is convenient, and it has a quasi-five-star configuration.

Lu Siyu got off the car and walked all the way to the lobby of the Wharton Hotel. As soon as he walked in, he was a little keenly aware that the atmosphere of the hotel was different.Lu Siyu did not go to the front desk to inquire, but walked directly through the lobby. There were two plainclothes standing at the corner of the elevator. Lu Siyu had been seen in the police station before. They knew each other well, and counting the time, Song Wen also happened to find out. This place.

Lu Siyu kept walking, and did not stop at all when he reached the two plainclothes. The two plainclothes didn't recognize him and thought it was a guest in the hotel. So Lu Siyu got on the elevator and glanced at the layout of the entire hotel. , He clicked the button of the restaurant on the third floor, and when he got there, he went down the escalator next to the restaurant, walked around and left the hotel.

Coming out of the hotel, Lu Siyu returned to the car, biting his nails and sorting out his thoughts.

He had almost reasoned about Xia’s unknown situation. This happened eighteen years ago, like a mirage in the sky.Right now, it is Zhang Peicai's death that can obtain more information.Although his death was strange, there must be a trace.

There is one thing that Lu Siyu has always minded. If the murderer really has contact with Xia Weiqi, why would he choose this way of killing?

Torture and killing is not a very immediate method. The cycle is long, the success rate is low, the risk is high, and there is even a certain degree of reversibility. If the deceased seek medical attention in time, they may not die.Therefore, in this case, the deceased needs to be controlled, or even imprisoned. The death of the deceased is a long process and the suffering is also great.

If the murderer is someone familiar with Xia Weiqi, he must know many ways to kill and have proficient killing skills, but he chose this one. In this case, the purpose is not like pure killing, but like interrogation. , Tortured.

Combined with Zhang Peicai's identity, there is only one possibility. The murderer has always hoped that the victim can confess something, and finally kill him...

Maybe the deceased confided something, or maybe he didn't say anything.

The last time Zhang Peicai appeared in the hotel, half a month ago, his body was found in the wasteland. What happened during this time?

Lu Siyu thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone and clicked on a nearby car dealer. If Zhang Peicai was using a fake identity to conduct some investigations, he would definitely need a means of transportation. He could not drive his own car. The greater possibility is Will rent a car.

Online car rental will leave a lot of information. A more secure way is to choose a nearby car dealer. Thinking of this, Lu Siyu started the car and drove all the way to several nearby car rental dealers. He was lucky. In the second house, the service staff called out a series of car rental records according to the information he provided.

According to reports, Zhang Peicai often rented an Audi here before disappearing.The salesperson who received him was also there, and Lu Siyu shook his certificate and said, "I want to call down his route map during the use of the vehicle."

In order to control the vehicles and facilitate the recycling, the cars of the rental car are secretly equipped with GPS location monitoring in the car. When the car is returned, the information will still be stored in the car dealer for a period of time. This is the unspoken rule of this industry.

The little girl checked it for him, copied the information to the laptop carried by Lu Siyu, and opened it through the software, and Zhang Peicai's route appeared on it. Basically, you can see where he has been and how long he stayed.

At first, the information was scattered and irregular. The places he visited included the city library, Luoxin nursing home, etc. However, a few days before his disappearance, after the car drove out, he drove around a large area in Nancheng. The circle was returned in the evening.The next day, he simply parked the car nearby for a whole day.

Lu Siyu frowned. He superimposed the route of travel with the map of Nancheng. In the area where Zhang Peicai circumvented, there was a gray building on the map with a few words written on it: "Wushan Home for the Aged".

Zhang Peicai's death really has something to do with Wushan Nursing Home.

Zhang Peicai has been to this area.According to the road map, he has entered the Wushan Nursing Home more than once. What is there?As an extremely sensitive reporter, he must have discovered something.

Lu Siyu pursed his lips slightly. It seems that this place cannot be circumvented. No matter what the situation is, the matter is already here, and he must go there in person.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the incident, in the Nancheng City Bureau, Song Wen was listening to a report from his subordinates.

"In Team Song, we have interrogated the families of other dead elderly people. No one wants to reveal what Bai Luo Rui said to them, and no one has a reasonable explanation for the payment. They all insist that their relatives died naturally..."

"We thoroughly checked the hotel where Zhang Pei lived before. He checked in with a fake message and booked a room for two months, but he didn't come to live in the last half month. The room expired three days ago and the hotel closed Excluding his daily necessities, except for some clothing, nothing special was found... Now everything has been collected in the physical evidence room."

At this point in the case, they seem to have been spinning around, the truth seems to be in front of them, but they can't find the key to open everything.

Fu Linjiang comforted Song Wen and said, "By the way, it's not that there is no good news. The factory of Wang Qichao that we reported earlier has been shut down again. This can be regarded as a benefit to the people."

Song Wen gave a hum, and when he turned on the phone, the local news popped up. There were also several pictures on the news, showing the seizure of equipment in Wang Qichao's factory. He swiped his finger to look down and said: "I hope this time, At least let him stop working longer.” Suddenly, Song Wen stopped his hands, and his eyes were locked on a bag placed in the corner of the processing plant.

That bag is that kind of black bag. Some things are worn here, and the bag is supported, probably to be able to put more takeaway bags, so the bag body is very large.Song Wen hurriedly retrieved the photo of Zhang Peicai's body when it was found.There still seems to be a slight gap between the two bags, but this reminds Song Wen.

The huge black bag...that bag may be for takeaway!

Song Wen hurriedly called Lao Jia over: "Lao Jia, have you made any progress in investigating the source of that bag?"

Old Jia scratched his head: "We checked some nearby wholesale markets, but we haven't found exactly the same."

Song Wendao: "You go find the kind of distribution channel that specializes in catering. I suspect that this kind of bag is used for bulk delivery."

Lao Jia nodded: "Okay, I'll check it out right away."

Finally, with some clues, Song Wen's mood improved.He looked at the phone, it was almost five in the afternoon.

In the past few days, there has been no news from Lu Siyu, and Song Wen was suddenly a little discouraged. This kid is really, if he does not contact him, he will not take the initiative to contact him.

After thinking about it, Lu Siyu is born cold to people and looks allergic to living people.Song Wen was relieved again and decided to be a good leader who took the initiative to care for his subordinates. He picked up the phone and dialed Lu Siyu's cell phone.

The phone rang for a long time, and the other side answered the phone. Lu Siyu seemed to be walking and gave a low feed. The signal was not very good, and there was a bit of noise.

Song Wen knew that Lu Siyu was outside when he heard the environmental sound. He frowned, "Where did you go if you didn't rest at home?"

"Team Song, are you Cha Gang?" Lu Siyu said, "During my passive vacation, this personal freedom is still there, right? What are you looking for?" The opposite side is a bit empty, and it sounds like there is a bit of echo. There is some noise.

"Yes, tomorrow Monday is the time I told you last time. I'm relatively busy recently. It's better to make an appointment with me before you come." Song Wen is really fine. Dialing this call is purely overly missed, and there is nothing to look for.

On the other side of the phone, Lu Siyu uttered, and the reaction was a bit calm, "Song team, are you finally willing to approve my reinstatement application?"

"When you arrive to see your performance, you should go back early and stop wandering outside." After Song Wen finished saying this, he was about to say hang up, but Lu Siyu over there hesitated, and then said: "Don't hang."

Across the earpiece, Song Wen felt that his breathing was a little short, and his heart suddenly twitched, with a bad premonition, "I said, where are you now? You won't... still follow this case, are you?" The next time he met, he discovered that Lu Siyu was secretly investigating the case, and this little fox seemed to completely ignore his words.

"My side...you..." The cell phone signal suddenly got worse, and Lu Siyu's words came intermittently. Song Wen hailed twice, and suddenly there was a strange voice from the phone. Some heavy object suddenly fell to the ground, accompanied by the broken glass, and then the phone was hung up.

Song Wen dialed the phone again, and then switched to the voice mail box. He pursed his lips. Where will Lu Siyu be at this time?He recalled the strange environmental sound again...

Song Wen suddenly remembered something, frowned and returned to his seat, turned on the computer and plugged in the headphones. Then he turned on the adventure video of the teenagers going to the Wushan Nursing Home. The video was adjusted to the middle, and the sound was at its loudest. It was noisy. In the middle, he heard the same click sound as Lu Siyu heard on the phone...

Song Wen immediately took the gun and handcuffs, holding the car key in his hand, and said to Fu Linjiang: "Look at this side when you are approaching, I'll go out."

Fu Linjiang saw Song Wen's expression a little unkind, and he hurriedly said, "Where are you going?"

"Wait for you to call me at 7 o'clock in the evening. If I don't answer, you can find me near the location of my police car." Song Wen thought about it and added, "Bring the whole team."

Song Wen got in the car and called Lu Siyu again, but no one answered him. He took the headset off his ears and drove directly to the Wushan Nursing Home, holding the steering wheel with both hands.Previously, Gu Ju said that he should be cautious about the case and not to rush into trouble. Therefore, they have not gone to the Wushan Nursing Home for on-site inspections, but now, if Lu Siyu is in danger there... it is another matter.

At this time, it was almost the peak of the evening after get off work. Song Wen didn't turn on the alarm bell. He took a shortcut and sprinted all the way.Arriving near Wushan Nursing Home, Song Wen braked and stopped the car not far away. He called Lu Siyu again, but the result was the same. He transferred to the voice mail box. He settled and got out of the car with a gun in one hand. , Passed through a piece of grass that was half a person tall.

Those bushes were rubbed against Song Wen's clothes, making a rustle.

It was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was summer. By this time, the sky just showed signs of darkening, but the sun was not so bright anymore, probably because it entered the factory area. There was a kind of fog in the sky. Ash, the air is also a bit choking.

Few people have come here for many years, and the place has become a ruin. The gray buildings are standing quietly in front of them. The paint on the walls has already fallen off, and there are not a single window glass on each layer.

Song Wen looked up and looked around. If this place appears in a doomsday movie, there is no sense of disobedience at all.

It is hard to imagine that this place was once very prosperous more than ten years ago, and it was once ironically called the ideal destination for the elderly in Nancheng.

Song Wen just checked the information today and still remembers the location distribution. The building on the left is the staff rest area and dormitory, and on the right is the residential area for the elderly. From the first floor to the third floor, it is divided into different areas. The high-level building is the canteen and the activity area. The one that had the deepest involvement with what Xia didn't know was a small building behind it. This is the critically ill patient area and the place where the police stationed to investigate later.

After thinking about it, Song Wen went directly to the small single-family building. Unsurprisingly, there were some footprints and traces at the door. He entered through the side door. A thick layer of ash fell in the corridor, and there was an old smell everywhere, except His own heartbeat can only hear the sound of footsteps on broken glass.In some houses, you can still see the seals posted by the police in those days, but over time, the seal paper has long been broken.It seems to break when touched by hand.

Song Wen doesn't believe in ghosts, but this place has been abandoned for so many years, and there are shards of glass and dust all over it. It is still a bit crappy to walk alone.He held a gun in one hand, and listened to the movement at all times by his ear. After walking not far, he reached a corner and shot a light from the broken window outside, casting a few fresh footprints on the ground.

Song Wen squatted down and his eyes fell on the footprints. The size, pattern, and traces were all correct. One of the footprints may have been left by Lu Siyu. The kid really took a step ahead of him and came here!
