From the images flashing through his mind, Zhou Xuan slowly and carefully searched for useful clues.
Fu Yuanshan watched Zhou Xuan nervously from outside the car. He wasn't sure if Zhou Xuan truly possessed such abilities or was just faking it, but the results he'd received earlier forced him to believe it. With his keen observation and intelligence, it wouldn't be easy to deceive him. Analyzing everything, Zhou Xuan had absolutely no reason to put on this act, nor to involve him in this mess. After much thought, it all seemed to be as Zhou Xuan had said: Zhou Xuan wanted to help them.
Furthermore, when Zhou Xuan used this ability to probe the corpse the last time, he seemed to be having a lot of trouble, and even his nose bled. So now, Fu Yuanshan is still a little worried.
For Zhou Xuan, using this new ability to detect images was indeed very energy-consuming. However, the previous time was his first time using it, and he hadn't expected to gain this ability so unexpectedly. Naturally, he was a little unfamiliar with it and his control was not very good. Therefore, he didn't know what the most energy-efficient approach would be.
But last night Zhou Xuan had tried out this new ice energy ability to his heart's content, and he could basically master it. So now, although it was difficult, the purity of the ice energy was much stronger and thicker than before, and he could hold on.
Zhou Xuan struggled to process the images in his mind, like watching a TV show. There were many images, but none of them mentioned the producer or actors like in the opening or closing credits. Just when Zhou Xuan felt he couldn't take it anymore, he suddenly saw a scene in his mind of the murderer checking in at a hotel reception!
Zhou Xuan was overjoyed and immediately used all his strength to circulate his ice energy, focusing all his energy on the registration at the front desk, trying to find the identity record of the murderer when the receptionist registered him.
After searching through the registration footage, Zhou Xuan tried to freeze the moment, carefully identifying the ID card held by the receptionist. He memorized the name and address on the ID card, and then, a little further back, he memorized the hotel room number where the murderer was staying. Only then did he withdraw his icy aura and recover his good luck for a while. When he opened his eyes, he found Fu Yuanshan watching him anxiously outside the car.
With a smile, Zhou Xuan said, "Brother Fu, I don't know how useful this will be for the case, but I've gotten some information. For example, the murderer stayed in room 1604 of the Hyatt Hotel a week ago. The name he used in that hotel was Zhu Jianqiang, and he was..."
Zhou then revealed the address on the murderer's ID card, but he wasn't sure if it was the murderer's real identity, since using fake ID cards is very common.
Fu Yuanshan was taken aback, then took out his pen and wrote these things down, including the murderer's identity, name, address, and the details of room 1604 at the Hyatt Hotel.
To be honest, Fu Yuanshan was filled with surprise, joy, belief, and doubt. If Zhou Xuan's information was true, then regardless of whether the murderer's identity was real or fake, it would be extremely useful information. Moreover, what he wanted to prove even more was whether Zhou Xuan's ability was real or fake. If it was verified to be real, then he could feel more at ease.
Fu Yuanshan put the completed notebook into his pocket, then called Zhou Hong and the others in. After thinking for a moment, he instructed Zhou Hong, "Zhou Hong, immediately notify the police department to investigate Zhu Jianqiang. Also, check the picture. And Zhou Hong, are you familiar with Yun'er?" "Yun'er?" Zhou Hong hesitated, then replied, "So-so. I've dealt with this area several times during investigations." "Alright, do you know the Hyatt Hotel?" Fu Yuanshan asked thoughtfully. "How about this, you first try to contact the police here and see if they have a Hyatt Hotel!"
Zhou Hong quickly called over the police officer in charge who was waiting outside the factory. After asking around, he found out that there really was a Hyatt Regency, a three-star restaurant.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuanshan pondered deeply for a while before saying, "Here's the thing, we've received information that this car is linked to a dismemberment murder case. The suspect may have stayed in room 1604 of the Hyatt Hotel, but we're not sure if he's still there. Given that the suspect is extremely dangerous, we need to take all necessary precautions. I think you should contact your superiors at the Public Security Bureau and report this situation. Then we'll go to the Hyatt Hotel together for a secret search. If the suspect is found, we'll have to make an arrest!"
The police officer was taken aback. He thought it was just an ordinary stolen vehicle, but he never expected it to lead to such a big problem. Besides, it was a bit strange how they got the information that the suspect was at the Hyatt Hotel.
But Fu Yuanshan's rank was obviously much higher than theirs, and he came from Beijing, so it wasn't unreasonable for him to make arrangements for them. They immediately went to the side to make a phone call to report to the bureau.
Zhou Hong was also very surprised. In the past, when Fu Yuanshan assigned them cases, they were busy with special task forces. But now, Fu Yuanshan does everything himself, and they just run errands for him, doing whatever he tells them to do. They are just following in Fu Yuanshan's footsteps. Zhou Hong was very puzzled.
The things Fu Yuanshan instructed were also very strange. They came without any warning, seemingly out of nowhere, yet they always yielded unexpected results. For example, the body retrieved from the Xichun River was clearly a baseless mystery, but they actually found one. And today? Could they find anything at the Hyatt Hotel? Is there really a suspect? Are those sketches genuine? How could Director Fu have pulled all this off so inexplicably? Everything seemed like magic, and Zhou Hong even had the feeling that everything was under Director Fu Yuanshan's control!
Upon receiving the report, the branch office in the neighboring city acted swiftly and immediately dispatched criminal investigators and four snipers from the armed police. They also instructed the plainclothes officers who had already gone to the hotel to notify the Hyatt Hotel's management to discreetly disperse the guests. After receiving their reply, Fu Yuanshan immediately led a dozen or so police officers from the repair shop to the Hyatt Hotel.
The manager of the Hyatt Hotel had already been secretly contacted and notified by plainclothes police. After Fu Yuanshan and Zhou Xuan arrived, they were immediately taken to the surveillance camera and the previous video footage was retrieved. Because Zhou Hong had a portrait, and there was a record at the front desk with his name and surname, it was easy to find out that there was indeed a guest named Zhu Jianqiang who had checked in, and that his room was indeed room 1604. The video footage also showed Zhu Jianqiang's record.
It was also good luck. Hotel surveillance footage is usually only kept for one week because there haven't been any major problems. The main purpose of hotel surveillance footage is to prevent disputes between guests and the hotel. Today was supposed to be the day to process the footage from the previous week, but when the police came over, they managed to intercept it.
When Fu Yuanshan saw the suspect's face in the video, although the video wasn't very clear, he and Zhou Hong were overjoyed. They were almost certain that this was the suspect they had seen at the police station! However, the hotel manager then told them that this man named Zhu Jianqiang had already checked out and left that day!
Avoiding Fu Yuanshan felt a chill in his heart. At that moment, Zhou Hong received another call from the Beijing branch of the Public Security Bureau. Zhu Jianqiang's ID information was real, but his appearance did not match that of the criminal. According to Zhu Jianqiang himself, one of his ID cards had been stolen half a year ago.
Fu Yuanshan calmed down, stroking his chin and squinting as he pondered. He was almost certain of Zhou Xuan's abilities and believed in them completely. If Zhou Xuan wanted to help him, with such extraordinary and unique abilities, it would be a very easy thing for him. Fu Yuanshan was forty-nine years old this year, a deputy director-level official. Without a good backer or outstanding political achievements, he would just live an ordinary life. In ten years, when he retired, he would at most only be able to reach the position of director-level official. That was what he thought of himself, to live out the rest of his days peacefully.
But things are different now. Although he never thought he would rise to prominence in the industry, with Zhou Xuan supporting him now, with his abilities, let alone finding powerful allies like the Li and Wei families, just with this level of support, Fu Yuanshan could cross the threshold of the provincial-level official in less than five years. At his age, he is considered to be in his prime, but if he cannot cross the threshold of the provincial-level official, then his future is basically over.
Don't underestimate the difference between a full-fledged department head and a deputy department head. Hundreds of thousands of deputy department heads across the country spend their entire lives trying to cross that threshold. If they manage to cross it and are under fifty, their future is bright!
It's unrealistic for Fu Yuanshan to be promoted to the rank of director-general within a year, but it wouldn't be surprising if he were promoted within five years. With Zhou Xuan's incredibly miraculous abilities and methods, it wouldn't be surprising if they could solve several major cases, making their Dongcheng branch the top of the seven branches in the city. Deputy Director Yang of the Municipal Bureau just retired last month, and all seven branches are keeping an eye on this vacancy! "Director, Director..." Just as Fu Yuanshan was still deep in thought, Zhou Hong quietly approached him and asked, "Director, should we check room 1604?"
An inspection was inevitable, and Zhou Hong knew their procedures. He just wanted to remind Fu Yuanshan whether he needed to go to room 1604 in person.
Fu Yuanshan glanced at Zhou Xuan, who nodded slightly in acknowledgment. Zhou Xuan then waved his hand and said, "Let's go to 1604!"
Since the perpetrator was no longer in the Hyatt Hotel, they no longer needed to remain secretive. They followed the manager to the lobby, entered the elevator, and went up to the sixteenth floor.
Stepping out of the elevator, the alleyway was carpeted in red, with rooms lined up on both sides. The rooms on the left were odd-numbered, and those on the right were even-numbered. The second room on the right was room 1604. This room had just been booked, but after the police arrived, the front desk changed the guest's room.
Room 1604 is a double room with two beds, a standard room, and the price is 468 yuan. The amenities are not bad.
Knowing from the front desk and hotel manager that the suspect was a genius who checked out and no other guests checked in, Fu Yuanshan immediately thought that to ensure the suspect was at the scene in the room, it was best not to let more people into the room to avoid disturbing the scene. Moreover, Zhou Xuan's ability was not suitable for more people to see.
Fu Yuanshan immediately said to Zhou Hong, "Zhou Hong, you two stay outside the room and don't let anyone in." Then he and Zhou Xuan went into the room, and after entering, Fu Yuanshan closed the door tightly.
Although Zhou Hong didn't say anything, he was still wondering to himself, what's wrong with Director Fu? Not only does he not want Zhou Xuan involved in anything, but he also has to bring Zhou Xuan along in everything. What's the point of having them?
Upon entering the room, Fu Yuanshan was still relieved that he had come at the perfect time, as the firsthand scene in the room was still intact. However, when Zhou Xuan used his icy energy to test the room, he was quite disappointed. No matter how he tested, the remaining information in the room was very weak, and most of the images were from the hotel staff.
Zhou Shi thought for a moment and said to Fu Yuanshan, "Brother Fu, there's an unexpected situation. The room has been cleaned and tidied by the staff. The hotel staff are too dedicated. They cleaned it very thoroughly and thoroughly. The bedding has been changed and washed, and the tables and chairs have been wiped and cleaned. I didn't get any useful information."
Fu Yuanshan was taken aback, then remembered something and quickly called the hotel manager who was waiting outside in, asking, "Manager, the sheets and duvet covers in this room have just been changed. Please have the staff bring over the ones that were used before."
The manager didn't know what the old bed sheet was for, but he didn't dare to disobey. He didn't want to know more about the police anyway, so he tried his best to cooperate with the police to get things done and send it away as soon as possible. Otherwise, how could he do business in peace?
The manager immediately used the walkie-talkie to notify the cleaning staff on the sixteenth floor to bring over the sheets and covers that had been changed. However, the cleaning staff replied, "Manager, I've removed the sheets and covers from eleven rooms on the sixteenth floor. Do you want a set or all of them? They're all piled up together, and they're all exactly the same. I can't tell which room they belong to. I was just about to send them to the laundry department!"

The cleaning staff spoke over the walkie-talkie, so everyone present heard it clearly, and the manager didn't need to relay it. www.keN
Fu Yuanshan waved his hand and instructed the manager, "Immediately notify that waiter to keep an eye on those sheets and blankets; we'll be there right away."
Fu Yuanshan said no more and pointed ahead. The manager quickly led the way to the cleaning department on the fourth floor. Inside, there were carts filled with sheets, blankets, and towels, and four or five middle-aged cleaning ladies were guarding the area.
Upon seeing the manager lead Fu Yuanshan and his group of ten in, one of them immediately pointed to the three cars in the right corner and said, "Manager, all the cars on the sixteenth floor are here. Do you need any more cars on other floors?"
Fu Yuanshan waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, all of you get out and wait outside. Don't come in without my permission!"
Zhou Hong wanted to ask a question, but Fu Yuanshan didn't give him a chance at all and directly called all the police officers out as well.
As Zhou Hong went out, he hummed to himself, "Could I possibly find some treasure among these sheets and blankets? Besides, how am I supposed to know which one is 1604 if I keep talking about this?"
