Chapter 208

Or in Gu Changzheng's subjective judgment, the person Lou Zhen met was the key figure in her falling off the building. Now, although he couldn't arbitrarily determine that Lou Zhen was murdered based on his feelings, if he wanted to say Lou Zhen committed suicide, then in Gu Changzheng's view, it was even more absurd!

He now wanted to find evidence of Lou Zhen's suicide, so he first had to rule out the suspicion of murder. When there was no evidence to prove that Lou Zhen committed suicide, then naturally it was murder!

The exclusion of guests staying on the 8th floor was fast, because the matter happened too suddenly, and this time point was not the peak period for check-in and check-out, so the guests at this time were still in their rooms, and the investigation result surprised everyone!

Because after checking all the guests on the 8th floor, there was no room that had the conditions to meet Lou Zhen alone! Ginza Plaza was located in the most prosperous section of Jiangdong. Although this hotel of Boss Tian was far less famous than the Zizhen Flower Hotel, the occupancy rate was quite good. Plus, it was currently the peak tourist season, and none of the guests on these 8th floors were staying alone!

This was very strange! Could it be that the person Lou Zhen wanted to see wasn't on the 8th floor?

"What time did the 110 platform receive the alarm call? Is there surveillance at the entrance of the roof platform?" Gu Changzheng asked. Liu Han hurriedly replied: "7:05 PM. That door at the entrance of the roof is not in the surveillance area of the camera."

Gu Changzheng crossed his arms on his chest, looking at the surveillance screen. Lou Zhen entered the elevator at 6:03 PM, and there was an interval of 58 minutes between the alarm call. The elevator showed she went directly to the 8th floor. The coincidence was that no one else entered the elevator when she took it. And according to the current investigation results, she didn't enter any room on the 8th floor, but highly likely went directly to the roof platform. But the corridor camera couldn't capture the door leading to the roof, so he could only guess that Lou Zhen went directly to the roof. Then who did she stay with on the roof for nearly an hour? What happened during this period?

"Liu Han, focus on investigating everyone who left this restaurant after 7 o'clock, pay attention to surveillance blind spots, visit the neighborhood of the restaurant, see if any suspicious people appeared during that time period, Gao Ye, you take a few people, with the restaurant as the center, find a location that can see the roof, see if you can find witnesses when Lou Zhen jumped off the building, and by the way, check Lou Zhen's call records, see who she contacted before she died!"

The few were busy according to his instructions. At this time, Gu Changzheng said to Luo Fei: "We go to the roof, let's take another look!"

Arriving at the roof again, there was really no place to hide people here. This hotel of Boss Tian was a building facing the street. In front of the parking spaces were two rows of parking spaces. Before the parking spaces was a two-way two-lane road passing through Ginza Plaza. Behind the hotel were some old-style buildings left over from the old city, all relatively low. Further west, separated by a few commercial buildings like this hotel, was the Zizhen Flower Hotel.

Gu Changzheng observed left and right. There were not many high-rise buildings close to Boss Tian's hotel. They were either as high as it or lower than it. Other high-rise buildings were more than 500 meters away from it. Even if someone saw them during the time Lou Zhen stayed on the roof, I'm afraid they couldn't see their faces clearly.

However, there was no other way now. First, it was necessary to clarify whether there was anyone on the roof during the time period from when Lou Zhen entered the hotel to when she jumped off the building, otherwise it would be difficult to explain where Lou Zhen was during that nearly an hour.

That red brick pressed under Lou Zhen's "suicide note" found by the police officers who went to the roof first, and that "suicide note" had been taken back by Old Zheng as evidence for testing, hoping to find some clues from it.

At this time, Wu Yan came to the roof. Just now, under Gu Changzheng's instruction, she asked the guest room staff about the situation of floor supervisor Huang Li one by one. According to them, that girl was indeed a very honest and dutiful child, a left-behind child whose parents were not by her side since childhood. She was dutiful, worked steadily, had a gentle personality, and was extremely diligent and observant, so she was favored by Boss Tian not long after working here and was promoted to guest room supervisor.

And this girl's life trajectory and social relations were also very simple. It could basically be determined that the roof door key was indeed lost carelessly, but the time of this loss was somewhat sensitive.

Gu Changzheng didn't really suspect that girl in his heart. After hearing Wu Yan's report, he directly excluded her from the list of suspects. The key was very critical, but more importantly, it was necessary to clarify who Lou Zhen met!

Liu Han's group, who continued to check the video in the surveillance room, under Gu Changzheng's instruction, focused on checking all personnel who left the hotel after 7 o'clock. This workload was huge. It was already 7:55 PM now. 5 minutes had passed since the masses saw Lou Zhen jump off the building and reported the police. This was an open public place, and it was a hotel that combined dining and accommodation. Plus, it was the time when business was best at night, so there were many people coming and going!

What was even more troublesome was that after Lou Zhen jumped off the building, many dining guests had already left in advance! If the person who met Lou Zhen later mixed in, or said that he (she) was originally a person dining here, and after meeting Lou Zhen, returned to a certain private room on floors 1-3, and then took advantage of the departure of a large number of guests to mix into the crowd and run away, then how to investigate? I'm afraid those two cameras in the hotel couldn't capture everyone's faces!

But this surveillance was also a very important way to find suspicious people! Liu Han had already added manpower, watching the video slowly frame by frame at the slowest playback speed...

Time passed minute by minute. The investigation into the person who met Lou Zhen was still fruitless. In the command post temporarily requisitioned on the 8th floor, Luo Fei looked at Gu Changzheng who was staring at the total building plan of the hotel provided by Boss Tian and said: "Captain Gu, I have an idea. Is it possible that Lou Zhen didn't make an appointment with anyone at all, and she just jumped off the building and committed suicide herself?"

Gu Changzheng pressed his temples, straightened his body and said: "My intuition tells me that Lou Zhen absolutely wouldn't commit suicide. I really can't find a reason for her to commit suicide! She must have come to meet someone, it's just that we haven't figured out how she met that person and where she met that person!"

Gu Changzheng knew clearly in his heart that he must find strong evidence that Lou Zhen wasn't committing suicide as soon as possible, otherwise, no one would support him in wasting police force on a suicide case of jumping off a building!

He originally thought about whether the person who met Lou Zhen would pass through the roof terrace of the fire escape, but the on-site survey found that it was basically impossible—every fire door of the fire escape above the third floor was locked tightly by Boss Tian! According to Boss Tian, this was to prevent people from distributing those small advertisements to the guest room area in the middle of the night!
