Chapter 329 She also stabbed her husband.

Because of the screening process, the cars lined up at the hotel entrance waited for more than half an hour before they were able to drive in one after another.

During the waiting period, a number of messages also came out.

For example, the fruit stand owner who stabbed the man was named Chen Lijia. She was led into the hotel by the victim, Qi Jintao, and the murder occurred in Qi Jintao's room.

The floor is the seventh floor, which is the floor below the top floor where Qiao Qiao and the others are currently living.

Because of the murder on this floor, many people are superstitious about bad luck. The hotel, which was originally fully booked, has now seen most of the guests leave, not only on the seventh floor where the murder occurred, but also on other floors.

Once Qiao Changdong and his group were allowed to freely enter and leave the hotel, they clearly saw many people checking out on the first floor and leaving with large and small bags.

Yan Family Hotel has two locations in Nanzhou, but the other one is quite far away, about 100 kilometers away.

Yan Liti herself wasn't afraid, but seeing everyone else busy checking out and packing their things to leave, she couldn't help but ask Qiao Qiao, "Baby, are you scared? Maybe we should move out too..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao blinked her big eyes and shook her head: "Grandma, I'm not afraid."

While answering Yan Liti, she resisted the urge to scan the entire building with her divine sense, and instead strained her ears to listen to the important information that people around her were discussing about the case.

Now she was absolutely certain that Qi Jintao's death was probably related to her recent dream and her encounter with Fu Tianyou.

However, she currently has too little information and doesn't have her uncle Meng Zhengcheng, a police officer with many years of experience in handling cases, by her side to help her analyze the situation.

In addition, she is still very young. Even with the logical thinking from her previous life, she is unable to make sense of everything that is happening now.

All we can do is let it roll around like a ball of yarn, getting bigger and bigger, and more and more tangled.

Qiao Qiao wasn't afraid, so Yan Liti didn't mention moving out again.

They didn't go downstairs for dinner either, but instead had their food delivered directly to their hotel room.

Yan Liti also called over the hotel manager, Chen Sheng. As the hotel's behind-the-scenes owner, she felt obligated to look into the case.

From hotel manager Chen Sheng, Qiao Changdong and others learned more details about the case.

The murder occurred on the seventh floor, in room 708.

The murder was discovered at 12:10 PM.

Qi Jintao led Chen Lijia to his room himself.

The time of entry was around 10:30. Since Chen Lijia was neither a hotel staff member nor a guest, she was registered by the front desk and security guard when Qi Jintao led her to the hotel.

According to the hotel's normal procedures, after noon every day, the cleaning staff push cleaning carts to each floor to start cleaning or cleaning guest rooms that need to be checked out or cleaned.

The door to 708 was half-closed at the time.

According to the front desk records, the cleaning staff knew that the guest in room 708 did not need to be cleaned every day. At first, when they pushed the cleaning cart past the door, they saw that the door was half open, but they did not look inside. Instead, they went to clean the room next door.

After cleaning the next room, I was carrying a change of sheets when I accidentally bumped into the door of room 708, which was already half open. Naturally, I had to go up and apologize immediately.

As soon as I walked over, I saw specks of blood on the floor by the door through the crack of the half-closed door.

Following the trail of blood, one could see Qi Jintao lying on the ground with a fruit knife stuck in his chest.

The cleaner was so frightened that she fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

It wasn't until other cleaners on the same floor heard the noise and rushed over that they quickly notified the front desk and called the police.

According to the forensic examination at the scene, Qi Jintao was found dead less than two hours after his death.

There was a lot of blood at the scene, but it disappeared when we got to the door.

At first, the forensic doctor thought that the bloodstains were not visible because of the dark brown carpet at the entrance. However, after a closer inspection, they found that there were no bloodstains anywhere else except in the room.

This is a hotel with a lot of people coming and going. People are constantly walking back and forth in the corridors, and the room doors are half closed. It's the reason why no one has discovered that Qi Jintao has been dead for almost two hours.

Moreover, strangely enough, neither the receptionist on the first floor nor the security guards on duty at the security booth at the main entrance noticed Chen Lijia's figure when she committed the murder and left.

It was only in the afternoon, after an investigation, that the police went to Chen Lijia's home and arrested her.

Moreover, it is rumored that Chen Lijia not only killed Qi Jintao, but also stabbed her husband after returning home.

The husband is not dead yet; he is currently in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment and is still in critical condition.

Qi Jintao died.

Fu Tianyou, who was traveling with him, and two other young women checked out of the hotel this morning, before Qi Jintao brought Chen Lijia into the hotel, and their whereabouts have not yet been determined.

"Is this Chen Lijia the one who lost her child last night? Could it be that Qi Jintao is related to her lost child?" Yan Liti asked, speculating, after listening to Chen Sheng's account.

Upon hearing Yan Liti's question, the others remained silent, but their expressions clearly indicated that they all shared the same thought.

The timing of these two events is too coincidental, making it hard not to suspect something.

"Yes, I heard that too, it seems to be related to children." Chen Sheng nodded.

The most prevalent rumor now is that Chen Lijia's husband sent his eldest daughter to a wealthy family to be a child bride.

And that rich man seems to be Qi Jintao.

Chen Lijia went to Qi Jintao to demand the release of someone, but why she stabbed Qi Jintao to death during the process remains unknown.

Of course, these are all outsiders' speculations and have not been verified, so Chen Sheng did not say anything.

However, just hearing the beginning was enough to make everyone frown and lose their appetite.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao lost her appetite.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Changdong picked up Qiao Qiao, who was sitting alone in the high chair eating, and held her in his arms, serving her food and feeding her with a spoon.

Yan Liti continued to ask the hotel manager, "So, what happened yesterday? You've explained it to the police station, haven't you?"

Chen Sheng nodded repeatedly: "It has already been explained."

"Okay, then if anything else happens, just come and let me know." Yan Liti nodded, and then sent the others away.

After Chen Sheng left.

There was a brief silence in the room.

Mo Haijun suddenly sighed and said to Qiao Changdong, "Dongzi, I believe you now."

"???" Qiao Changdong.

What is it?
