Chapter 907: Arresting people, sealing shops

Shenghong Building is located in the middle of a small business district. The back door is a food street composed of several small alleys, and the front door is several scattered commercial streets. Surrounded by similar commercial and residential buildings, as well as several small residential areas or courtyards composed of single staircases.

The exterior of the building is old, and like the commercial street, the interior decoration is also old and rustic. The elevators are small, broken, and few, while there are many people, giving Jiang Yuan a very familiar feeling.

Qinghe City and Ningtai County are also at this level, or rather, the non-core business districts of fourth- and fifth-tier cities are at this level. It's not that the masses don't like high-end places, but everyone just prioritizes affordable prices, and then chooses places with high cost-performance.

Compared with those pure office buildings, pure commercial buildings, or specialized shopping malls with strict requirements, old buildings like Shenghong Building often become the kings of this environment because of their calculating and annoying property management, flexible and annoying merchants, high turnover rate and cumbersome replacements, and dirty, messy, and poor environment that saves expenses.

Jiang Yuan followed the chaotic crowd holding milk tea and starch sausages into the lobby of Shenghong Building, and saw a security guard directing the crowd, letting dozens of people line up in front of the four elevators, and then everyone stared at the slow-moving red floor changes.

"Let's go to property management." Jiang Yuan didn't want to experience the elevator after seeing this look. Presumably, no evidence could be found in the elevator.

However, since the investigation had reached this point, in order to obtain first-hand information, Jiang Yuan still ordered, "Yaowei, you continue to line up for the elevator. After you get in, take a few videos, and mark where there are cameras in the elevators and on each floor. Also mark the shops on each floor. These in the lobby are inaccurate."

Jiang Yuan was too familiar with this environment. Don't look at the copper nameplate set up in the lobby; the better this thing is, the higher the property management fees, and there is a production cycle. Many small shops and companies register and pay money, and by the time property management finishes it, the shop or company has already gone bankrupt. Property management earns another sum!

Shen Yaowei responded, "Then I'll start from the top floor and go down, making records floor by floor."

"Okay. We'll take the stairs and contact you in time if there's a situation." Jiang Yuan turned around and went up the stairs from the fire door.

Mu Zhiyang ran in front in two or three steps and said, "Property management is on the fifth floor. Below the fifth floor are all shops: the second floor is a hot pot restaurant, the third floor is a buffet, and the fourth floor is an internet cafe. But these shops all enter from the front door."

Jiang Yuan said "Hmm" and thought while walking up the stairs.

First, Chen Nuan entered this building by herself, mostly because she had an appointment with someone. How was that appointment made?

Secondly, did Chen Nuan finally leave this building alive? Or did she die inside the building, and then was transported out of the building and dumped into the Tai River several kilometers away?

Based on the current evidence, both possibilities exist. There is even a possibility that she was transported after being seriously injured. This is the troublesome part of drowning corpses; much evidence is extinguished in the water. Of course, buried corpses have the same effect, but the physical cost of burying is much higher.

"Team Jiang." In the property management office, the criminal police from the Criminal Police Detachment who arrived first were checking their surveillance videos.

"Did you find anyone?" Jiang Yuan asked as soon as he opened his mouth. At this time, no one cared whether he had emotional intelligence or not.

The leading police officer knew what Jiang Yuan meant and shook his head, "The elevator video of the property management here is only saved for 14 days, and it can't be found. However, in some hallways here, there are cameras from companies or shops, and we have already sent people to ask for them floor by floor."

"Let's visit again and see if there are any eyewitnesses." Jiang Yuan's request could only be a matter of luck.

"Yes." The leading police officer arranged it immediately.

"Is there a list of shops and companies?" Jiang Yuan arranged for Shen Yaowei to look at it floor by floor, but it didn't hinder him from asking for another list from property management. Although property management might have a relatively complete list, he didn't give trust to the property management of this kind of place.

The property manager hurriedly pointed to a large table on the wall and said, "The companies in here are basically complete. This is what we show tenants. Our boss owns the property."

The police officer from the nearby police station said unceremoniously, "You find a piece of paper now, write down the companies not on this large table, and write down any changes, then sign it. If something goes wrong later, I will come back to find you."

At this time, all police officers were focused on not believing you.

The property manager didn't dare to offend the police officers from the police station, so he agreed to do it, while whispering explanations.

Jiang Yuan looked at them one by one. He saw that from the fifth floor up, besides a few residential households and companies, the most numerous were restaurants, followed by various nail salons, beauty salons, script murder games... Hmm...

Jiang Yuan's gaze stopped here. After thinking for a while, he saw an escape room.

Jiang Yuan then asked, "Do some escape rooms now require handing over mobile phones?"

The police officer from the police station immediately reminded the property manager. The property manager muttered, "I've never played it..." Tang Jia coughed and said, "I've encountered putting mobile phones into iron boxes."

An iron box is equivalent to a Faraday cage, which has the effect of signal shielding, better than the effect of pulling out the card.

Now, without Jiang Yuan's reminder, Tang Jia said, "Shall we check the escape room shops?"

"Two people per shop, bring all the surveillance videos." After Jiang Yuan gave the order, he added, "Send people to the script murder game shops too. Do you need to put away mobile phones for sweating?"

"It's possible there's no signal." This time it was the property manager who answered, and added, "I go often."

There were many police officers who came, and now it was a state of lacking clues, not lacking manpower. In minutes, police officers went to the door to start checking. There was even a script murder game shop that hadn't opened, and the shop owner was called over by phone.

Jiang Yuan and others were not in a hurry to go back to think. They wanted to occupy the property management's office and conference room to start watching videos on the spot, looking for evidence and clues.

There is a great possibility that Chen Nuan spent her last moments in Shenghong Building. Otherwise, given people's current dependence on mobile phones, unless she was playing something, she would definitely turn on her mobile phone first when doing things.

Chen Nuan's mobile phone was turned off a few minutes after entering Shenghong Building, and it was turned on later in the hands of the murderer. Now, it was just that a long time had passed. Otherwise, Jiang Yuan and others would have the heart to seal Shenghong Building and check it carefully.

Lang Heng, the detachment leader of the Criminal Police Detachment, also arrived at the scene quickly. Finding that there were indeed clues, he immediately made a phone call and set the people from the two nearby police stations to come over.

Doing things in this kind of commercial street, the police officers from the police station are also very useful.

The surveillance videos used by several shops were stored for a long time, basically in a loop storage mode. The long ones could be three or four months, and the hard drives of the script murder game shops that opened and closed were also large, storing for half a year.

Jiang Yuan didn't need to do it himself. There was a group of people from the image investigation team who brought their own equipment, checking surveillance at the points.

Not long after, there was a result: "Found the person."

"Escape room. Two people together." The police officer who found the video was quite excited.

"Match the faces of the people together." The detachment leader of the image investigation detachment ordered.

After taking a few photos, the information of the man who accompanied her jumped out.

"22 years old, male, technical school graduate, unemployed, has a business license in his name, individual business..." The police officer next to him read the relevant information.

"This escape room shop has a problem." Jiang Yuan was already sitting by the computer, quickly pulling the video for a while, and pointed to the screen, "Is this NPC letting Chen Nuan drink?"

"Seems to be a wine bottle..." The police officer from the police station watched from behind, his expression became serious, "I handled a similar case. The clerk of an escape room shop, under the guise of passing the level, let female players drink. There are also those who specifically provide high-sweetness alcoholic beverages. There are cases where female players who are not good at drinking are poured drunk."

"Arrest people. Seal the shop." Jiang Yuan brought the task force, so he didn't need to understand it too clearly. The current evidence was enough for him to bring everyone over. ===== CHAPTER 908 =====
