Who is the murderer? (One)

  First of all, I'd like to introduce one of the main characters - Zhao Yun. Yanhuang Zhan. [Full text first published on ww]

  Zhao Yun is one of the important figures in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of China's four great classical novels. He was one of Liu Bei's five tiger generals, brave and skilled in battle, with a strong waist and back, handsome and elegant, a great hero and beautiful man of his time. Later generations of some Zhao families named their precious sons "Yun" hoping they would become pillars of the country like Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms, becoming a legendary figure of their generation. In the 1970s in Jiangnan's Baoyan County, such a character was "born".

  In 1970, during the Cultural Revolution, Zhao Zhiqing's family had a chubby little boy who was born with a clear brow and bright eyes. Zhao Zhiqing and his wife Zhang Lijuan doted on their precious son and gave him a good name: Zhao Yun, hoping that he would inherit his father's career and become a pillar of the country.

  Zhao Yun had an older brother named Zhao Shiying, who was five years older than him and studied in the United States. In 1991, he married a local Chinese woman. His older sister, Zhao Shimiao, was two years older than him and studied economics and trade at Fudan University in Shanghai. In 1993, she married her university classmate Huang Qiancheng, the son of a real estate tycoon in Guangzhou, and they ran their own real estate company and a logistics company together.

  After the spring breeze of reform and opening up awakened the struggling motherland in 1978, Zhao Zhiqing became the county party secretary in 1994, making Zhao Yun the young master of the county. With his father's power, their family's life suddenly became prosperous, and even relatives and friends walking on the street looked impressive.

  The next year, Zhao Yun became the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and in July 1996, he married a beautiful girl named Wang Xiaoya who was from a good family. His wife Wang Xiaoya worked at the county finance bureau, and in January 1997, she gave birth to a daughter named Zhenzhen.

  Time: August 8th, 1999, 8 o'clock in the evening

  Location: Guangzhou Golden Leaf Hotel

  At this time, two young men in neat clothes walked out of the first floor hall of Jin Ye Hotel. One was 1.75 meters tall, with a sturdy build, shiny hair, and a small parting on his head. His face was round and full, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyelashes were dense. He looked like Hong Kong's popular singer Lin Zhiying. His face was rosy and smooth, with a lustrous complexion, and his lips were red and moist, but there was a scar above his left eyebrow, which was a flaw. He was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt tonight, with dark blue casual pants, and white leather loafers on his feet. He held a black briefcase in one hand and a lit cigarette in the other. This man was Zhao Yun, deputy director of Bao Rock County Public Security Bureau and head of the criminal investigation team. He came with his colleague Wei Jun. He had a flat haircut, a long face, single eyelids, small eyes, and was half a head shorter than Zhao Yun. His body was thinner, and he was also smoking, carrying a black backpack on his back. They were in Guangzhou to collect evidence for a criminal case, staying at Jin Ye Hotel near "Jing Mei Massage Health Center". Bored in the evening, they came to "Jing Mei Massage Health Center" with Xiao Wei for a massage.

  "Director Zhao, you said letting us two come to Guangzhou Second People's Hospital for certification is futile, isn't it?"

  "It shouldn't be. The discharge summary of the victim, Huang Ling, from this hospital is very important for the case, we need to keep it safe and sound. Tomorrow, we will go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to investigate the confession of the suspect, Hu Bing, who retaliated against Huang Ling at Baodian KTV on March 12th. Then take a hard-seat train back to Bao'an County. Today was busy, now I can relax, maybe there will be a romantic encounter."

  "Director Zhao is so handsome, picking up a pretty girl is no problem."

  "Haha, you still understand my concerns! It's normal for men to fool around outside, but don't get STDs okay?! Also, since we're new here, let's not fool around in places like this, it's not clean and not safe."

  "Director Zhao is right, let's just have a massage, at most we'll play some ball."

  "Haha, I didn't expect you're also a lecher, do you have a crush on our department's new colleague Fang Yinghua?"

  "Others look down on Fang Yinghua. YHZW website."

  "Oh, take your time then."..."It's arrived, you go ask the cashier staff."

  In the 205 double massage room, there were two white, soft and comfortable massage beds, two shower rooms and two small steam baths. Wei Jun was led to the 203 massage room by a masseuse named Lingling. Soon, two masseuses walked in, wearing pink off-the-shoulder camisoles that exposed their navels and red-and-black plaid miniskirts that showed off their white thighs. The girl massaging Zhao Yun was about 1.6 meters tall, with a curvy figure, a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes, willow leaf eyebrows, a white face with a hint of red, sensual red lips, and smooth, elastic skin. Her black hair was tied back with a pink ribbon at the nape of her neck, and she carried a red handbag in her hand. Bingbing was petite and delicate, with a clear and elegant face.

  "Welcome, gentlemen, to the 'Beautiful Sister Massage and Health Center'. I am Xiaoyu No. 06, Rainy Rain, and this is my senior sister, Bingbing. Please, first, go to the shower room to wash your bodies." Xiaoyu bowed politely to Zhao Yun and his companion, forcing a smile.

  When Xiaoyu's eyes first met Zhao Yun's, sparks flew like electricity, and Zhao Yun's heart inexplicably became excited, his lips seeming a bit dry, making him involuntarily lick his lips and swallow saliva. This Xiaoyu was indeed a beauty, with those enchanting peach blossom eyes that could capture one's soul, that white skin with a hint of red on her cheeks, those sexy red lips... Zhao Yun couldn't let this girl slip away!

  Zhao Yun first calmed down and teased her: "Little Rain sister, you look very pretty."

  Xiao Yu smiled and threw a flirtatious glance at Zhao Yun: "Thanks. You look pretty good, your face shape is like Hong Kong singer Lin Zhiying."

  Zhao Yun and another man took turns showering in the shower room, then lay down on a massage bed wrapped in a large bath towel.

  At this time, Xiaoyu's mobile phone rang. Xiaoyu apologetically smiled slightly at Zhao Yun: "Sorry, handsome, I'll answer the call." After finishing, she walked to the side of the chair, took out a red mobile phone from her bag, and walked out of the massage room. A few minutes later, Xiaoyu walked into the massage room with a sullen face, her eyebrows furrowed, and didn't take the initiative to chat with Zhao Yun. When Zhao Yun asked her questions, Xiaoyu replied absent-mindedly. Zhao Yun took a look and felt that there was no chance, so he tactfully closed his eyes to rest.

  At this time, Bing had already adjusted a small steam bath next to her.

  There are two types of sauna: dry and wet. Dry sauna is without mist, also known as Finnish bath or Turkish bath. Nowadays, electric heaters with hot stones are commonly used. If you feel the temperature is not enough, just pour water on the hot stone. Services usually provide ice water or cold towels. However, if you want to sweat a lot for weight loss, they will prepare a bucket of warm water to pour on the hot stone. But be careful if you have heart disease or high/low blood pressure, it's better not to use the second bucket, or you might get heatstroke. Wet sauna uses high-temperature steam from a boiler, and once inside, nothing can be seen. The temperature in a Finnish bath is between 60°C to 95°C, with relative humidity of 10% to 15%. Temperature and humidity can be controlled by a thermostat outside the room. To take a correct sauna bath, one should remove all clothing, accessories, and not cover the body with towels like people usually do, as this will hinder sweating and may cause weakness, headache, discomfort, or even fainting. However, to prevent scalding of the nose and throat, a wet towel can be used to cover them. Zhao Yun chose dry sauna.

  "If it gets too hot, open the door and let me know." Xiaoyu reminded Zhao Yun, then closed the steam room door. It quickly heated up inside, and Zhao Yun covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel, standing or sitting naked on a wooden stool, sweating all over his body, feeling very comfortable. Zhao Yun poured cool water from the bucket onto the fire stone. After steaming for about twenty minutes, he opened the steam room door again, gesturing to Xiaoyu to turn off the switch, and handed him a new bathrobe. Zhao Yun, who had wiped away all the sweat, put on the bathrobe and walked out of the steam room. At this time, Xiaoyu asked him to lie down on the massage bed to receive a massage service. The man was still in the steam room, and Bingbing was waiting outside.

  Xiaoyu first gave Zhao Yun a facial massage, then cleaned his face with a towel. After finishing, she asked him if he wanted to use a towel to scrub, a special bath towel to scrub, or his hands to scrub. Hand scrubbing was the most expensive, stimulating and comfortable, while towel scrubbing was second best. Zhao Yun said to use hand scrubbing.

  As Xiaoyu scrubbed Zhao Yun's back, she told him about the different types of scrubbing services: opposite-sex scrubbing, same-sex scrubbing, single-star scrubbing, and double-star scrubbing. Opposite-sex scrubbing referred to a male customer being scrubbed by a female attendant, while a female customer would be scrubbed by a male attendant.

  Double-star scrubbing involved two attendants simultaneously scrubbing one person - one scrubbing the upper body and the other the lower body; one massaging the hands and the other the feet; one scrubbing the face and the other the buttocks. The "mandarin duck" multi-star service involved multiple attendants, both male and female, washing hair, washing feet, and chatting with the customer, sometimes with as many as five or six attendants serving one person at the same time.

  Scrubbing was also divided into dry scrubbing and wet scrubbing. Dry scrubbing did not use water, and even the towel underneath was dry. The attendant would sit on one hand while scrubbing, taking their time due to the high fee, slowly scrubbing and massaging. Some skilled attendants would even smoke a cigarette while working.

  Double-star wet scrubbing was the opposite - using a large amount of water and taking less time. One attendant would prepare several hot towels that had just been steamed, while the other would wrap and massage the customer's feet, legs, joints, abdomen, and other areas. The two attendants would work together to quickly finish washing the customer's hair.

  After finishing scrubbing Zhao Yun's face, Xiaoyu asked him if the pressure was sufficient. Zhao Yun replied that it was almost enough.

  The little rain continued to rub from Zhao Yun's ear to the back of his neck, chest, abdomen and both sides of his ribs, then to his left and right arms, elbows, legs, and crotch. After finishing, she washed off the dirt on his body with water, helped him down from the bed, and quickly cleaned up the bed. Then she asked him to lie prone on the bed, and she rubbed his back from the back of his neck, shoulders, waist, back, and both sides to his buttocks, inside and outside of his legs, and finally rubbed his feet. After that, she washed her hands clean with soap, used a towel to wipe his back, and used her thumbs to push from his feet to the back of his neck, relaxing his whole body. Then she helped him up, put on his slippers, handed me a clean towel, and took him to shower. After he finished showering, Little Rain asked him to sit on the sofa and rest.

  "Sir, your sauna time is up, please follow me to the cashier to pay."
