Gu Chen washed up early and prepared to take a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
And Zhao Lin continued to sleep soundly...
In Zhao Lin's words last night, he was a sure winner.
If he followed Gu Chen, he might not have more opportunities to interact with Liao Qing.
But it's different now. Gu Chen seems to only have work in mind, and has no interest at all in participating in the jewelry exhibition with Liao Qing.
Thinking that he didn't have to get up very early, Zhao Lin saw Gu Chen putting on his shoes and getting ready to go out, so he said hello and continued to sleep.
Gu Chen came to the restaurant downstairs. At this moment, there were not many people dining. Gu Chen went to the buffet area, packed some breakfast, and sat quietly by the window to enjoy it.
At this moment, Gu Chen noticed a waitress passing by, working in the hot drinks area, and she looked familiar.
Then I remembered that she was the woman who took the elevator with everyone yesterday, and was also the waitress who later recorded Liao Qing's daily matters.
Watching the waitress fill up the hot milk and put the Haidong sponge cake in the bag before leaving, Gu Chen guessed that it must be for Liao Qing upstairs.
So I didn't think much and continued to enjoy my breakfast.
Take a taxi from here to the high-speed rail station, and 15 minutes is enough if there is no traffic jam.
There is also a taxi pick-up area at the entrance of the hotel. There are many taxis waiting for guests, so you don’t have to worry about waiting.
So Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and briefly browsed the current news.
At this moment, the security guard downstairs seemed to have received the situation and quickly ran towards the elevator door.
But Gu Chen didn't pay much attention and continued to enjoy Haidong City's special pastries.
At this time, I saw a man wearing a security uniform getting off the elevator dejectedly and returning to the restaurant.
A waitress asked him: "What's going on?"
The security man replied: "Xiao Li was injured, and Lao Gao and the others are helping her treat the wound."
"Xiaoli was injured? Who is so cruel?" The waitress shuddered when she heard this: "Xiaoli just delivered milk to the guests, how could this happen?"
Hearing what the waitress said, Gu Chen suddenly raised his head.
"Milk delivery? Isn't it just for Liao Qing?" Thinking of this, Gu Chen continued to listen carefully.
The security guard took a sip of water and said helplessly: "I don't know what's going on? I'm still fainting now. The worst thing is that the customer has lost something. I heard it's worth a lot of money."
"No way? What's going on?" As soon as the waitress heard the security guard's words, she became more and more confused and asked again quickly.
The security guard said: "Do you know the lady named Liao in our hotel, VIP?"
"I know, their company is a big customer of our hotel." said the waitress.
The security guard added: "She lost something. I heard that she put a lot of jewelry in her handbag, but when she went to the toilet, the things were gone. This is what she is going to bring to the exhibition today."
Listening to the security guard talking to the waitress about Liao Qing, Gu Chen couldn't sit still anymore. He walked over and asked the two of them: "Excuse me, you just said that a colleague was attacked and a customer's belongings were taken away. Is this right?"
what's going on?"
"Who are you?"
Seeing Gu Chen's sudden curiosity, the security guard also asked one more question.
Gu Chen replied: "I am Liao Qing's friend, and I came with her to attend her classmate's wedding yesterday."
"Oh, I remember, you are a customer in room 8805." The waitress recognized Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "So... what's going on?"
The security guard hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to say anything. Seeing that Gu Chen knew the person involved, he told her directly: "Actually, I don't know what the situation is. This morning, my colleague Xiaoli sent her a cup of hot milk as requested by the VIP customer.
Milk and some pastries."
"But after being sent to the room, the customer happened to go to the bathroom. As a result, my colleague Xiaoli was injured. Ms. Liao heard the noise and came out quickly."
"It was later that she discovered that her handbag was missing, but according to her own words, the handbag contained many treasures that will be exhibited at the jewelry exhibition today."
"Now that the item has been lost, we are negotiating with our manager. We are probably still arguing."
"So that's it?" After learning about the situation, Gu Chen was not in the mood to have breakfast anymore. He ran straight to the elevator door and boarded the elevator to the eighth floor.
Arriving at the door of room No. 8801, the door of the room was opened and the people inside were negotiating.
Gu Chen rushed over after hearing the sound, only to find that Liao Qing was covering her cheeks and looking haggard.
In the room, a hotel manager, a security guard, and the waitress Xiaoli I saw before were also there.
Seeing Gu Chen suddenly barging in, the hotel manager asked blankly: "Who are you?"
"I am Liao Qing's friend." Gu Chen said.
Hearing this, Liao Qing suddenly put down her hands.
When he saw that the visitor was Gu Chen, he burst into tears and said, "Gu Chen, I'm dead now. All the jewelry I brought to the exhibition was taken away. How am I going to explain to the company now?"
"
"Calm down first." Gu Chen didn't know much about the situation at the scene, so he walked among the people and asked, "Can any of you explain to me what happened here?"
Glancing at the waitress who was a little weak and had a head injury, Gu Chen asked the manager: "What's going on? Tell me."
"This...I'm not very clear about this. I also received Ms. Liao's request for help, so I brought someone over to take a look."
"But who would have thought that Ms. Liao said that her jewelry had been stolen."
"Yes." The security guard also said, "We don't know the situation. Who knows if the things were lost in the hotel?"
"What do you mean by saying that? You just don't want to take responsibility, right?" Liao Qing became angry at this time, and said angrily: "The thing was lost in your hotel, what do you mean by saying that now? Don't you want to take responsibility?"
?”
"No...no, Ms. Liao, can you calm down first?"
"I don't want to calm down. The problem is that my stuff is gone, woo woo."
Several people were quarreling with each other, and the scene suddenly became noisy.
Gu Chen ignored this and walked up to the waitress Xiaoli who was sitting on the sofa and asked her: "You brought the milk and pastries in Ms. Liao's room, right?"
"That's right." The waitress named Xiaoli said as she put a wet towel on her forehead, her whole body was in pain.
It seemed like every time he said a word, his head would explode.
Gu Chen asked again: "Can you tell me what happened just now?"
"Okay." Xiaoli nodded slightly and explained: "Yesterday, Ms. Liao arranged for me to send her a cup of hot milk and some pastries this morning. Since she is a VIP customer of the hotel, I gave it to her today as scheduled.
come over."
"Did Liao Qing open the door?" Gu Chen asked her.
Xiaoli nodded: "Yes, I knocked on the door, and it was Miss Liao who opened the door for me."
"She happened to be washing up at the time. After opening the door, she returned to the bathroom. I also prepared the meal and put it on the table."
"But then my eyes suddenly went dark, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, everyone was surrounding me, and I felt a severe headache."
Gu Chen glanced at Liao Qing and asked her, "Is that what she said?"
"How do I know?" Liao Qing was very sad at the moment and said sadly: "I was washing my face with facial cleanser when I heard someone knocking on the door, so I asked who it was."
"Then she said she was a waiter who had brought me milk and breakfast. I didn't think much at the time and just went to open the door."
"Because I was washing my face, facial cleanser was smeared all over my face, so I ran back to the bathroom."
"Then she asked me if it was OK to put it on the table. I said yes. Then, I heard a movement outside. When I asked her what was going on? There was no movement at all."
After sniffing, Liao Qing added: "Now I realized something was wrong, so I quickly flushed my face and ran into the room."
"But at this moment, I found her lying on the ground, which shocked me. But when I saw that the handbag on the table was missing, I was completely confused. This was what I was going to take to the exhibition today.
The jewelry is all genuine jewelry.”
"How could this happen?" Gu Chen also felt strange.
Liao Qing actually brought genuine jewelry with her and put it directly on the table. Is it so casual?
Think about asking her directly: "Do you just put your jewelry on the table like this?"
"That's right." Seeing that Gu Chen didn't understand, Liao Qing added, "That's it. Every time I come to Haidong City to participate in an exhibition, I always carry some jewelry with me that I need to exhibit."
"Because no one knows that I have jewelry hidden in my handbag, it's okay every time. After all, I haven't stayed here only once or twice."
"But today is different. As soon as I packed my things, I put my handbag on the table and went to wash my face."
"I thought that if someone came to deliver milk and breakfast, I would open the door and let her put it on the table, then return to the bathroom and continue washing my face."
"But I never expected that something like this would happen. My handbag disappeared in broad daylight. In such a big hotel, people just snatched my things away. What's going on with you people?
"
"This...how can you blame us?" When the hotel manager heard this, he immediately gave up and retorted: "Ms. Liao, is it possible that you usually expose your wealth and are targeted by some unscrupulous people?"
"How is that possible? When did I take these things out?" Liao Qing felt that the manager was passing the blame, so she retorted: "In short, the things were lost in your hotel, and your hotel has the responsibility to help me find them.
."
Taking out her mobile phone and checking the time, Liao Qing said impatiently: "Today is the exhibition this morning. If I don't take my things with me, I will be screwed. What should I do?"
Feeling that she was dead, Liao Qing almost burst into tears.
But the hotel seems to be unable to give an explanation.
No matter how much Liao Qing cried, there seemed to be nothing she could do.
Gu Chen felt that something was a little strange, so he retreated to the door of the corridor, looked around and said, "You don't have surveillance equipment here?"
"Uh..." The hotel manager hesitated and said nothing.
Gu Chen asked him again: "There is no surveillance camera installed in the corridor, what about the elevator entrance?"
"There is surveillance at the elevator entrance," the security guard said quickly.
"Then hurry up and check the surveillance." Gu Chen felt that instead of trying to push the blame here, it would be better to investigate quickly.
It's easy to do with monitoring, so you know who has been here during this period.
When the manager heard this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and started dialing the phone number.
Soon, he communicated on the phone and seemed to be explaining the investigation and surveillance matters.
But after a minute passed, the other end seemed to give him a result that he was not satisfied with.
The manager hung up the phone and shook his head helplessly: "It doesn't make sense. The surveillance showed that at that time, only Xiaoli went upstairs with breakfast, and no one else showed up."
Gu Chen frowned slightly: "It seems that this person still has some scruples and did not take the elevator directly. In other words, his evacuation location may be at the fire escape?"
Thinking of this, Gu Chen asked the manager again: "Are the fire escapes monitored?"
The manager was silent for a long time, looked at the people around him, and then shook his head.
"What? No?" Gu Chen was a little surprised.
The manager nodded silently: "Indeed not."
"What did you do?" Gu Chen felt that the hotel was a little reluctant to invest.
Logically speaking, in a hotel of this size, in addition to installing surveillance cameras on the elevators, at least fire exits also need to be installed, so as to avoid some safety hazards.
But looking back, he realized that the perpetrator did not take the elevator, but perhaps escaped from the fire escape. Gu Chen immediately thought that the perpetrator might have a very good understanding of the hotel's structure, and maybe it was an insider who committed the crime.
I also thought that Liao Qing was a VIP of this hotel and often stayed at this hotel for business trips.
Therefore, the people who know Liao Qing should be the hotel staff.
Glancing at the injured Xiaoli, Gu Chen asked her: "Can I take a look at your injuries?"
"Of course." Xiao Lidai frowned slightly and slowly moved the wet towel away.
Gu Chen gently pushed her long hair aside and touched it lightly with his hand.
The waitress Xiaoli suddenly screamed in pain.
At this moment, Gu Chen also touched the raised part.
Xiaoli's head was smashed with a big bruise.
Looking back, Gu Chen asked Liao Qing directly: "When you came to the hotel, did you tell anyone about it and what did you bring?"
"No, I'm not exhibiting in a hotel, why should I tell the hotel staff?" Liao Qing also looked aggrieved at this moment.
So Gu Chen asked again: "If not, then have you told the hotel staff that you are here to participate in a jewelry exhibition?"
"Well……"
Liao Qing hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "This... I have said that, because I basically know all the faces in the hotel, and they will chat with me casually."
Glancing at the injured waitress Xiaoli, Liao Qing added: "Yesterday she came to my room and asked me what help I needed, because I am a hotel VIP and should enjoy this kind of treatment."
"So I asked to bring me breakfast, that's all."
Seeing that Gu Chen was still staring at her, as if waiting for other answers, Liao Qing added, "Then she asked me if I was on a business trip for a meeting or something like that? I said I was here to participate in a jewelry exhibition."
"Because besides me, there are also some other merchants who came to participate in the jewelry exhibition in this hotel, so I think it's okay?"
After hearing what Liao Qing said, Gu Chen walked back and forth between several people before asking again: "Liao Qing, is that thing valuable?"
"It's worth it. Of course it's worth it. All the jewelry together has a market value of tens of thousands."
"You put such an expensive thing in your handbag and take it with you casually?" Upon hearing this, the manager also gave a thumbs up and said, "Miss Liao, are you really big-hearted?"
"What's this?" It felt like the hotel manager was making a fuss, and Liao Qing couldn't help but said: "The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place."
"I casually put tens of thousands of pieces of jewelry into my handbag, and no one might know about it, so having it with me makes me feel at ease."
"And I don't stay in your hotel for just one or two days, but often. This has never happened before, but today suddenly..."
After saying this, Liao Qing was completely frustrated and stamped her feet anxiously.
Gu Chen quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, you can always find out who did it. The most important thing now is to piece together all the information and see if there are any other missing parts."
"That's right." Seeing Liao Qing's frustration, the security guard comforted him and said, "This has never happened to our hotel before, and Xiaoli was also suddenly injured. There must be something wrong with it."
After looking at everyone, the security uncle said: "Is there someone who has been following Xiaoli, waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime?"
"That's for sure." Seeing that the security guard seemed to have said nothing, the manager said impatiently: "The modus operandi was so smooth. In just a moment, Miss Liao's things were taken away. It shows that he is a professional."
"Then who do you think the perpetrator will be?" Gu Chen also wanted to hear the hotel manager's opinion.
After all, he is the manager here and knows the structure of the customers staying here best.
After hesitating for a while, the manager said: "Maybe they are hotel customers who are here to participate in the exhibition? Because today is the opening day of the exhibition, there are also many customers in the hotel who are here to participate in the exhibition like Miss Liao."
"So I think the perpetrator is most likely someone who knows Ms. Liao, or someone who knows Ms. Liao very well."
"Because according to Ms. Liao's habit, she hides the jewelry in her handbag and carries it with her openly. As hotel staff, we must not be aware of it."
"But we don't know. People who often see Ms. Liao at jewelry exhibitions may have more or less guessed that Ms. Liao may have something XZ with her."
"It makes sense." Gu Chen believed that the manager's words made sense.
Because Gu Chen didn't know the structure of the customers staying in the hotel beforehand, after hearing what the manager said, Gu Chen thought that some of the customers staying here were more or less acquaintances or peers with Liao Qing.
So it seems that it is not difficult to guess that Liao Qing is used to bringing exhibits with her.
As a result, the scope of the perpetrators seems to have rapidly expanded from hotel staff at the beginning to customers staying at the hotel, especially those who came to attend the exhibition.
Thinking about starting to use the elimination method to search for the perpetrators again, Gu Chen was a little confused, because the investigation seemed to be a big project, and he thought that he should wake up Zhao Lin to help.
