Chapter 113: The Fall from Xiangjiang Hotel
Downstairs of the magnificent Hong Kong Hotel, a crowd of onlookers gathered.
They were whispering and talking to each other, and there was a look of surprise, sympathy, or indifference in everyone's eyes.
There is a heavy and depressing atmosphere in the air!
In the crowd, some people used their mobile phones to record the scene, some tried to get closer to find out what was going on, but more people just stood silently on the periphery, allowing this sudden tragedy to play out before their eyes.
Outside the crowd, a corpse lay casually on the cold, hard ground. The colorful lights around it reflected on her pale face, making her look even more desolate and helpless.
Yuan Ningning, a beautiful young girl like a flower, now appeared in front of the world in an extremely unbearable way.
Her body was disheveled, as if torn by the ruthless wind and rain. Her once vibrant life withered and died on this festive night.
Next to the hotel entrance, in a dark corner.
Tian Fei looked at her classmates in the distance in horror, her face so pale that it was almost transparent, unable to face this fact.
She bit her lips tightly, and her thin body kept shaking, as if her soul had been taken away, leaving only an empty shell swaying in the cold wind.
Upstairs in the hotel, in the luxurious suites on the 23rd floor.
A man of extraordinary bearing was facing the French window, overlooking the scene below from a high vantage point.
His face was as gloomy as night, and his deep eyes flashed with flames of coldness and anger.
Downstairs at this time.
Liang Yu and Su Yan arrived quickly, and the forensic doctor who arrived earlier had already completed the investigation.
The cause of the girl's tragic death is obvious: she fell to her death from a building.
However, what makes people suspicious is that in this bitterly cold winter, her top is thin and messy, and her eyes are full of resentment. (Some words omitted here.)
This is also the reason why the serious crime squad appeared here. All signs indicate that this was an unusual fall incident.
It is not ruled out that he was pushed off the building maliciously, or was forced to jump off the building to die out of desperation.
Looking at the horrific corpse, Su Yan sighed in her heart.
She looked at Liang Yu silently. Without words, they could sense each other's determination.
Uncover the truth and seek justice for the dead!
Liang Yu's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. Based on the severity of the injuries on the corpse, he estimated that the height of the fall was no less than 70 meters.
The entire Hong Kong Hotel has 23 floors and is approximately 80 meters high!
His deep eyes looked past the crowd and went straight to the highest point of the hotel.
The Hong Kong Hotel appears exceptionally quiet and mysterious under the night sky, as if there are unspeakable secrets hidden behind every window.
Among the many windows, a tall figure seemed to be looking at him.
Those sinister eyes intertwined with Liang Yu's scrutinizing gaze, without any avoidance, and a hint of disdainful sneer hung on his cold and calm face.
However, the barely perceptible twitch at the corner of his mouth betrayed the turmoil deep in his heart.
"Xiao Mo, I leave this to you." Qian Hao said this and turned to leave.
"No problem, it's a piece of cake!"
Xiao Mo had a faint smile on his face, looking confident.
After the joyous night, a new day quietly arrives.
The sunlight gently lifted the veil of morning light and sprinkled on the world.
Some people are still immersed in last night's sweet dreams and laughter, and are now curled up in their beds leisurely, enjoying the comfort of the holiday.
Some people rubbed their sleepy eyes and started a busy day. Liang Yu and Su Yan did not sleep all night. They were busy from the moment they left the crime scene until dawn.
The identity of the deceased was quickly identified: Yuan Ningning, a native of Lin'an City, was a junior student at Chuncheng Medical University.
His living background is simple and his social relations are clearly identifiable. Although there are some doubts in the case, the possible directions of suspicion are limited to those few.
I originally thought it would be an easy case to solve, but I didn't expect to encounter so many difficulties.
First, they retrieved the surveillance video from the Hong Kong Hotel.
But what is strange is that the surveillance system above the 20th floor of this five-star luxury hotel was paralyzed.
The hotel manager explained that the floors above the 20th floor are all luxury suites designed for distinguished guests, and in order to meet recent demands from customers, the monitoring system is being upgraded and maintained over the past few days.
The limited video footage shows Yuan Ningning entering and leaving the cocktail party that night.
In the picture, there was always a girl accompanying him. After verification, it was found that the girl was a classmate of the deceased, named Tian Fei.
What is even more strange is that Tian Fei disappeared without a trace since the incident.
Also.
On the night of the tragedy, many onlookers recorded the scene with their mobile phones, and some even uploaded the video to the Internet, causing an uproar in public opinion.
However, less than two hours later, all online topics related to the case mysteriously disappeared.
Yuan Ningning's unfortunate experience seemed to be wiped out in an instant and no one cared about it.
The few posts that remain today claim with certainty that Yuan Ningning committed suicide by jumping off a building.
Such a bizarre phenomenon made Liang Yu feel that there must be someone behind the scenes manipulating it and covering up some unknown secrets.
Moreover, this person has extraordinary energy!
After a busy night with little results, Liang Yu and the others were not willing to give up, so they rushed to the hospital without stopping.
In the cold morgue, the air was filled with heavy sadness. The shadow of death was like a huge rock pressing on the heart, making it hard to breathe.
Yuan Ningning's parents stood beside their daughter's body. In just one night, they seemed to have aged a lot.
The mother held her daughter's arm tightly, and the hand that was once as warm as spring was now only bitterly cold.
Her tears slid down silently, drop by drop onto the white sheets, like a broken heart weeping blood.
The father tried hard to hold back his tears, but his trembling hands and clenched teeth revealed the sadness hidden in his heart.
Liang Yu and Su Yan watched the scene in front of them silently, feeling an indescribable sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
They are criminal police, but they cannot predict the future and cannot nip crimes in the bud.
All they can do is to crack down on crime, bring the murderers to justice, and serve as a warning to the world through just judgments of the law.
It was not known how long it had passed, but with the help of relatives, everyone managed to carry Yuan's mother, who was almost fainted, away from the place.
Father Yuan wiped the corners of his eyes, adjusted his mood, and slowly walked towards Liang Yu and the others.
"Are you the police?"
"Yes." Liang Yu showed his ID.
Father Yuan nodded and spoke carefully: "Ningning's death is definitely not simple. I have something to report to you!"
Later, through the narration of Yuan's father, Liang Yu and the others gained a deeper understanding of Yuan Ningning's case.
At the same time, a suspicious name also came into their sight!
