The leading officer approached. "Does Miss Steele know this man?"
"Yes, he's Qing Ling from Wan Da Hotel."
But how could it be him? How did he suddenly die in a room at Angel Holiday Hotel? Who killed him? Olive was very confused.
The murder may be due to emotional dispute, revenge, money dispute, and the deliberate attempt to borrow a knife to kill a man, or the deliberate attempt to blame others, and why on earth was he murdered? Why did he have to die in Angel Holiday Hotel?
She answered all the routine questions of the police.
In fact, she didn't know that Qing Ling had checked into Angel Holiday Hotel two days before.
According to the preliminary autopsy results, he died around 6 p.m., while he was found dead about three hours after his death, and he was found dead when a hotel staff brought him his dry cleaning, and the hotel staff also found Casper lying unconsciously after being hit in the back of the head simultaneously.
Casper, who had been woken up, was being questioned by police. He looked puzzled, repeating these words nervously. "Not me, not me, not me."
He was a man with a criminal record, so he was afraid of being suspected because he has received money and done wrong things. When he saw Olive, it was as if he had met a savior. "Miss Steele, I didn't kill him. I didn't kill him."
Olive soothed him, saying. "Don't be afraid, and just tell the police what you know."
"I really don't know anything, and when I came to deliver his dinner at six, I was knocked out the moment I walked in, so I have no idea how Mr. Qing's necklace, watch and wallet came to be in my pocket, while I don't know how those dishes were put on the table. Miss Steele, you have to believe me, since I didn't kill him and I don't know anything." He was a strong boy, but he was about to cry now because he was so worried. Even though he looked bold and cautious in daily life, killing for money was a very serious crime, so he was very frightened.
"Casper, calm down. I believe you, but what you need to do now is to recall every detail of the accident, because it is essential to help you clear your criminal suspicion."
She didn't know that if it was because of her trust, or if it was because of what she said, the boy, who had been agitated, calmed down a little and cooperated with the police in their detailed questioning.
"It can't be him." Alan, who had not spoken before, suddenly uttered these words.
"Huh?" Olive looked at him in puzzlement, and she knew he was clever and thoughtful.
Alan analyzed. "He was hit in the back of the head and fainted. Since he fainted, it was not possible for him to stab Qing Ling. If he stabbed Qing Ling first, the knife would have directly killed Qing Ling, so Qing Ling could not have knocked him out, and there must have been a third person in the room."
What he said seemed reasonable, but the final result of the investigation required the police to look for evidence.
