"Yitong, I'll go out for a while. You go take a shower first. When I come back later, we'll go out for a good meal." After giving in, Xiang Yang left the room.

When he arrived at the room he and Liu Yitong first lived in last night, he knocked on the door gently.

The back door opened in a short while, and the one who opened the door was a young man he had never seen before. He looked less than thirty years old.

"Brother, who are you looking for?" asked the young man.

Xiang Yang's eyes turned around the young man and looked into the room, wondering if there were anyone else in the room. To his disappointment, there seemed to be no one else in the room.

The young man moved a piece to the side, blocked Xiang Yang's vision, looked at Xiang Yang with vigilance and said, "What exactly are you doing?"

Xiang Yang withdrew his gaze and looked at the man and explained: "Is Zhao Gaoming here?"

"Zhao Gaoming? Without this person, you have found the wrong room!" After that, the man wanted to close the door.

"Hey hey!" Xiang Yang quickly pushed the door and stopped the man from closing the door. "You read that right, it's 301, then you should have one named Chen Hao."

"No!" said the young man unhappy.

At this moment, a voice came from behind him - "What's going on?"

The young man turned around, "Deputy Director Liu, someone knocked on the wrong door."

"oh?"

Then, Xiang Yang saw a middle-aged man walking behind the young man. At the moment of looking at each other, Xiang Yang and the middle-aged man immediately recognized each other.

This middle-aged man was the murderer he met outside the hotel last night!

"Hey, this gentleman looks very familiar." Xiang Yang said to the middle-aged man.

"Deputy Director, do you know him?" the young man asked in surprise at the middle-aged man.

"I can't remember where I ran into him." The middle-aged man said with his eyes narrowed, his face a little solemn.

"It seems that Zhao Gaoming and Chen Hao really don't live here, so I'll disturb you!" After saying this, Xiang Yang left.

The middle-aged man walked out of the room and watched Xiangyang walk into room 306 with his own eyes before returning to the room.

When she returned to the room, Liu Yitong was still taking a shower. Xiang Yang was lying on the bed, thinking about how to find evidence and tell the police since the murderer had been found.

When Liu Yitong came out after taking a shower, Xiang Yang told her about her discovery. After listening, Liu Yitong made a suggestion - find Officer Li!

Officer Li can help contact the town police station and ask him to intervene in the case as a police officer.

After repeated consideration, Xiang Yang turned on his cell phone and dialed Officer Li's number. Since the winter vacation, he has not had any contact except for sending a blessing message to Officer Li during the Chinese New Year.

After the phone was connected, Officer Li's long-lost voice came - "You kid, I heard that you have evaporated from the world and have brought two girls together."

"In fact, it's not as beautiful as you said. I only brought one. By the way, Officer Li, how did you know that my world has evaporated?"

"Zhao Gaoming, he first called me and asked me if I knew your whereabouts; then he called the police and said that you, your girlfriend and Yitong were missing. What happened? Where are you now?"

"Officer Li, first of all, you have to promise me that I won't tell Zhao Gaoming that I've contacted you."

"no problem."

Next, Xiang Yang told Officer Li about his location and what he saw and heard about the murder.

"I'll contact the local police station now and ask them to cooperate with you in solving the case." Officer Li promised.

After a while, Officer Chen from the local police station called Xiang Yang and invited Xiang Yang to the police station.

So he immediately took Liu Yitong to the police station.

After meeting, Officer Chen said straight to the point: "Officer Li and I are college classmates. He promised me that you will definitely solve the case within one day."

"In one day?" Xiang Yang frowned.

"What? Isn't a day enough?"

Xiang Yang shook his head, "It seems like there will be no more than a day."

Officer Chen was speechless.

"Uncle police, have you ever asked the tenant in Room 301?" Xiang Yang asked.

Officer Chen opened the folder on the table in front of the door, which recorded the transcripts of everyone in the hotel last night.

After browsing it, Officer Chen said: "When the incident occurred last night, the tenants of 301 had absent certificates."

"Where have they been?"

"I went to the town's tavern to have a drink."

"Are you far from the hotel?" Xiang Yang asked.

"It's not far, it's about ten minutes to drive."

Xiang Yang browed deeply and murmured to himself: "That means it will take at least twenty minutes to travel back and forth."

He thought for a while: Including the time to commit an offense at the hotel, it would take about twenty-three minutes. So he asked, "Another tenant in Room 302 was also going to have a drink together, right?"

Officer Chen nodded.

"Which tenant named Liu, 301, had he left for a while during their drinking?" Xiang Yang asked again.

"Yes!" said Officer Chen, "He has been having diarrhea these two days. According to his own confession, he went to the toilet twice last night, one of which lasted a long time, about twenty-five minutes; one time was less than three minutes. At this point, it basically matches the confession of others."

"I've had diarrhea and I'm still going to drink?" Xiang Yang asked.

"So he didn't drink alcohol last night, just drank some water and ate some fruit."

After hearing what Officer Chen said, Xiang Yang remembered a detail: When he met the murderer last night, the murderer did not smell alcohol. Now it seems that the murderer pretended to have diarrhea, in addition to making excuses to leave, he also wanted to prevent drinking from making trouble.

He quickly sorted out his thoughts: the murderer took the deceased's roommate to drink with him. During this period, he returned to the hotel to kill someone under the pretext of diarrhea, and then returned to the bar to prove his absence.

"Why didn't the deceased go to drink last night?" Xiang Yang asked again.

"The deceased is allergic to alcohol and never gets drunk."

Xiang Yang nodded. Now many doubts about the case have been lifted, and the only thing missing is evidence.

The first thing he thought of was transportation. The murderer rushed back from the bar and might have driven back by himself. Unfortunately, most of the roads in this town were not monitored.

Then he thought of the murder tool - the gun used for murder. It is estimated that the murderer had already buried the gun in an extremely secret place.

Then Xiang Yang thought of himself. He saw the witness of the deceased appearing in the hotel at the time of the incident last night, but if he came out to testify, he might not even explain that he would appear at the hotel door last night.

"You have been asking about the situation of the tenant of 301. Could it be that you determined that the murderer was the deputy director surnamed Liu?" Police Officer Chen asked.

"I can be sure it's him, but I can't find the key evidence." Xiang Yang did not deny it, "but I thought of a way."

“What method?”

"Turn the snake out of the hole."
