In the dead of night, the scream easily alerted the lobby and the first floor.
Especially the manager Bowen, who was caressing her, was so frightened by the shouting in his ears that his scalp was numb and his hairs stood up. His whole body shivered violently, and his legs became weak and he fell to the ground.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Dong dong dong!"
The sound of rapid footsteps followed from above and below. It was obvious that the security personnel who reacted quickly were aware of the danger and were rushing over as quickly as possible.
When Lin En and Reiner saw this, they couldn't help but be stunned for a second or two.
They thought about being exposed and how to be exposed, but they never expected that a backup plan would be activated so soon just because of this kind of thing.
"Pretend to run up first, don't reveal your ability, just look at my eyes!" Linn ignored the manager Bowen and the waitress at the corner of the stairs, quickly told Reiner, and took the lead in running upwards.
"I'm convinced." Reiner resisted saying anything to the manager Bowen. The waitress rolled her eyes and followed Linn back.
As expected, as soon as they climbed the six or seven steps, two sturdy security personnel ran down the stairs directly above.
These two people were responsible for guarding the stairwell on the first floor. Because of their close distance, they heard the sounds in the stairwell most clearly and were the first to arrive.
"Get away!" Linn took out his gun and tried to break through forcefully.
But these security personnel were not easy to mess with. The leader had quick eyes and quick hands. He kicked Linn's pistol away before he could raise it.
Good skill!
After Lin En was in pain, he suppressed his instinct to use his extraordinary strength to kill the two of them instantly, and bumped into them with his shoulder.
"Bang!"
The security guard stood ready and kicked Lin En in the chest again.
Linn blocked it with both arms, but the powerful impact caused him to fall backwards.
Reiner, who was standing behind, gritted his teeth and held on to his body.
In this gap where neither of them had the strength to parry, the two security guards stepped forward again. Working in tacit understanding, one by one, they easily subdued Linn and Reiner with their backhands.
From the time Linn drew his gun to when he was restricted from moving, only about three seconds passed!
"Surrender! Surrender!" Lin En endured the pain and shouted to prevent the two security guards from killing them without any seriousness. In that case, he would have to use extraordinary power to defend himself, and would be forced to expose his abilities.
.
"Surrender, we surrender!" Reiner also said.
It's quite embarrassing to say.
The two of them originally expected to put as much water as possible to make it easier for the other party to catch even if they were bare-handed.
I never expected that I would end up in such a mess even though I tried my best.
Not surprisingly, these security guards are ruthless men with extremely rich combat experience, and their physical fitness is difficult to match unless they have been practicing since childhood.
This further solidifies the secrets hidden in the Old South York Hotel.
After all, it is difficult for ordinary places to hire dozens of such fierce security personnel.
Not to mention they are hotel security guards, even if they are said to be the personal bodyguards of the royal family after handing over, some people will believe them.
"It's you?!" Manager Bowen ran over while adjusting his collar.
Although Lynn was wearing casual clothes, his daytime visit left a deep impression on manager Bowen.
"Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding." Lin En activated the backup plan to ease the situation, "Manager, please let these two let go of us first."
"Let go?! Are you kidding?! How did you get in?!" Manager Bowen asked, while winking at the waitress who was still standing in the stairwell, signaling her to get out of here quickly.
At the same time, four security guards arrived on the first floor to inquire about the situation.
"Ahem, I was free to assess Annie's business ability, and these two people suddenly came down the stairs." Manager Bo Wenqiang explained the situation and directed the problem to others as soon as possible, "You guys
How did you open the door? How did they get in?!"
"We... didn't see anyone at all. He probably didn't come in from the stairs on the first floor." The security guard escorting Linn looked innocent.
Manager Bowen pushed up his glasses, put his hands on his hips and said, "They didn't come in from the first floor?! They didn't come in from the first floor. Could it be possible that they could still come down from the rooftop?!"
"I……"
"What's going on?"
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps on the negative floor.
A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came over with two followers.
"Mr. Phil." Manager Bowen saw the person coming and bowed respectfully, then turned sideways to give up his seat. "Two people sneaked in for some unknown reason, and I caught them. This person among them is
The Sheriff from the Public Security Bureau came here to investigate the case of the Hinde family in the morning. This should be his companion, and I suspect he is also a Sheriff."
"Sheriff?" A middle-aged man named Phil looked at Lynn and Reiner with a cold face, "Tell me about it."
"Mr. Phil, this is a misunderstanding. We didn't mean to sneak in..." Linn pretended to be dumbfounded.
"You came in here to investigate the case of the Hinde family?" Phil asked coldly.
Judging from his tone, he is no stranger to the Hinde family's case.
Lin En continued to show an awkward but polite smile: "Yes, the two of us want to find clues or something."
"Then why did you sneak in?"
"Well, it doesn't count as sneaking in, we...we..." Lin En pretended that he couldn't make it up, which made the other party feel more and more that there was something wrong in their minds. This matter was not trivial.
"Who sent you here?" Phil asked again.
"We came here ourselves." Reiner said.
"Nonsense!" Phil said angrily, "The case of the Hinde family is not small! No one supports you, how dare you sneak in here quietly! Tell me! Who is it!"
"Do you know who Mr. Phil is? Mr. Phil is the butler of the Aldrich family!" Manager Bowen said, "If you don't tell the truth, you are offending the Aldrich family!"
Lin En didn't care about manager Bowen's threats.
He only paid attention to one thing.
Mr. Phil, who has a corruption value of [310], is the butler of the Aldrich family.
Phil seems to know a lot about the Hind family tragedy, so does this mean that there is a connection between the Hind family tragedy and Marquis Aldrich?
The clues we have so far and the speculations we have made seem to be able to be brought together.
"I'll give you a minute to explain clearly who sent you here and how you entered the Old South York Hotel." Mr. Phil tried to use his aura to suppress Lynn and Reiner and make them behave.
Tell everything truthfully, "Speak out, and I can guarantee that you can leave here safely, and pretend this never happened. If you don't tell me, I will make you pay a heavy price and make you regret coming to this world from the bottom of your heart."
superior."
Linn chose silence.
Even if you make up a story and make the other party think it is true, it will not do them any good.
Only by concealing the truth all the time can the other party be afraid of you and delay the time smoothly until tomorrow, when the mission starts.
