The security guards took out their slinging sticks to boost their courage. They didn't know who was hiding in Ms. Liao's room. They might bring someone with them and that would be the end of the story.
It's not that you're afraid of not winning, the key is that you're afraid of getting hurt.
After all, if there is really someone hiding in the room, and there is a sharp weapon in the other person's hand, and if he sees so many people surrounding him, then why should he fight you to the death?
Maybe the knife can hurt someone with just a few swings. After all, this is not a martial arts world. The kind of plot where you grab the blade with bare hands usually only appears in movies and TV series.
If you really encounter someone with a knife, no one will dare to resist unless you have something very strong in your hand.
Security guards are paid to work, and there is no need to risk one's life. This is different from the regular police and soldiers' sense of mission.
Of course, responsible security guards are not excluded...
But at present, the people in Moore Manor are nothing more than people recruited from nearby villages, mainly to increase employment for local people.
When the manager said this, the security guards who were not so nervous at first suddenly became even more nervous.
One of the middle-aged security guards took out his swing stick and asked the manager weakly: "I'm talking to the manager, what if there really is something hidden in this? Can we deal with this thing in our hands?"
"If I can't deal with it, why did I invite you here?" The hotel manager was standing and talking anyway, and he was already hiding two meters away behind the three security guards.
"No, why don't we get a shield or something? After all, safety comes first." Another older, white-haired security guard said.
Ms. Liao became a little impatient and said hurriedly: "I said, what is going on in your Moore Manor? Such a thing can happen in broad daylight. Now you don't even have the courage to enter my room. What kind of service are you doing?"
Also annoyed by several people, Ms. Liao paused for a moment with her hands on her waist, and then said: "I can tell you, my diamond ring is worth a lot of money. If it is really lost and cannot be found, your Moore Manor will be responsible.
"
After being urged again by Ms. Liao, the hotel manager was obviously a little embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Ms. Liao, please don't worry. Aren't we trying to find a solution?"
"You said that your diamond ring disappeared after you took a shower. How is that possible in broad daylight? There must be something wrong with it."
"Oh! According to what you said, you are saying that I hid myself and slandered your Moore Manor?" Ms. Liao was also angered by the manager's words, and she immediately scolded her loudly.
The manager waved his hand: "That's not what you mean, we're going in now, we're going in now."
He also noticed that there were a few strangers around him. The manager was stunned and quickly asked Gu Chen, "Who are these people?"
"We were invited to the reception, and we also heard that Ms. Liao's diamond ring was missing, so we wanted to come and have a look." Gu Chen said.
"Oh, that's it." The manager immediately put away his guard and said, "Then... let's come in and take a look together."
After opening the guest room door with the room card, the manager followed the security guard into the room.
Ms. Liao also followed closely, came to the desk, pointed to a free space and said: "I put the things here at that time, it can't be wrong, the other jewelry is there, but the diamond ring is missing.
"
"Then how did you lock the door? Can you demonstrate it to us?" As soon as Ms. Liao finished speaking, Gu Chen asked directly.
"I was..." Ms. Liao quickly walked to the door, then closed the door, hooked the anti-lock, and said: "This is the most advanced anti-lock device. I also own a hotel, of course I know about it.
, but that’s how I locked the door.”
"I understand." Gu Chen also nodded and said, "That means that no one can enter the room while you are taking a shower."
"Yes, I think so too." Ms. Liao followed Gu Chen all the way to the window.
"Did you open the window when you took a shower?" Gu Chen asked again.
Ms. Liao was stunned for a moment, and then she said weakly: "The window... I don't seem to have touched the window."
"That means the window has always been ajar, right?" Lu Weiwei also asked her quickly.
Ms. Liao nodded: "Yes."
When the manager saw these people asking about Ms. Liao's situation in a familiar manner, he couldn't help but said: "Huh? What do you guys do? I don't think you look like real estate developers."
After Gu Chen looked around, he took out his police ID and said, "I am a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Group Three of Furong Branch. My name is Gu Chen."
Later, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang also took out their police ID cards and expressed their opinions in front of the manager.
The manager was stunned for a moment, and then his tone became more polite: "So you are the police? That's great. You are professionals in investigating cases. Can you help us take a look at the scene to see if there are any doubts?"
Gu Chen ignored him and continued to search the guest room carefully with Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang.
Lu Weiwei checked the bathroom, Officer Wang checked the bedroom, and Gu Chen focused on observing the position of the windows.
However, using his expert observation skills, Gu Chen did not find any useful traces near the window.
Moreover, it is a vertical structure from the window sill to downstairs. If the thief climbed down from upstairs, there would definitely be some traces left by the window sill, but Gu Chen did not see it here.
I also saw Gu Chen open the window and look upstairs. Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked the manager: "Is anyone living upstairs?"
"Upstairs? Well...it seems like someone lives there."
"Can you be more specific?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
The manager had no choice but to take out the walkie-talkie and said: "Please wait a moment, I will ask the front desk."
It was also after some communication that a man in uniform walked up to the manager with the room card: "Manager, the room card upstairs is here, and a couple of elderly people live there."
"Elderly people?" The manager frowned, looked at Gu Chen and said, "Comrade police, don't you suspect that the perpetrator climbed down from upstairs?"
Gu Chen didn't say anything, but Lu Weiwei said: "Since this guest room is locked from the inside, how could Ms. Liao's diamond ring be lost? Therefore, it is impossible for the perpetrator to enter or exit through the door. The only possibility is through the window."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Also looking at the window sill, Lu Weiwei said again: "Do you usually keep the windows open like this?"
"Absolutely." The manager also said seriously: "Usually after the cleaning staff cleans the guest room, they will open the window a little to let in the fresh air from the outside. Usually, as long as the weather is sunny, we do this. Only when it rains is the humidity
If it's heavy, we will close it."
After realizing that Officer Wang had also completed the inspection, Lu Weiwei asked: "Old Wang, do you want to go upstairs and have a look together? Maybe these two old people are suspected?"
"I think it makes sense." Officer Wang also agreed with Lu Weiwei's remarks.
After all, it can now be ruled out that the perpetrator entered the room through the door, because the surveillance did not capture anyone at all.
Now, the ajar window has become the only place where the perpetrator can sneak out.
But it is obviously difficult to climb from downstairs to upstairs, but if you want to rappel from upstairs to downstairs, it may be possible.
However, after asking the front desk, the manager learned that there was an elderly couple living upstairs, and they obviously did not have such physical fitness.
But it is undeniable that conclusions must be drawn only after investigation.
"Let's go and have a look." Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei walked to the door and turned around and asked Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, aren't you going?"
"Just come." Gu Chen turned around and followed everyone with doubts.
In the corridor, the manager led the way and introduced: "The guest room upstairs is the top-floor guest room of our Moore Manor Chateau. It is impossible to go up. Please come here."
When she arrived at the upper floor corresponding to Ms. Liao's guest room, the manager knocked on the door politely.
There was also a quick response from inside: "Who is it?"
"Hello, I am the customer service manager of Moore Manor."
"Oh, what's the matter with you?" There was still a response from the old man inside.
"It's like this. A customer who stayed downstairs lost her diamond ring, but the door was locked at the time. We wondered if someone climbed down from your room."
After the manager finished speaking, he quietly listened to the movement in the room.
After a while, a white-haired old man opened the door and said inexplicably: "You said someone threw something downstairs. Maybe the thief climbed down from my room?"
"Haha." The manager also laughed dryly and hurriedly explained: "We are just speculating, don't we just want to come to you to verify it? Don't be nervous."
"Nonsense." The white-haired old man said with an unhappy expression: "My wife and I have been in the room all the time and have never gone out. If you say this, don't you mean that we are thieves?"
"Uncle, that's not what we meant." The manager was a little confused and turned around to look at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen then took out his police card: "Uncle, I am a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Group 3 of Furong Branch. The owner of the lost diamond ring lives downstairs, and the diamond ring is expensive. We must investigate all possible doubts.
Therefore, we ask for your cooperation and understanding.”
After Gu Chen said this and took out his police ID card, the old man who was a little unhappy before immediately calmed down and said, "Since the police comrade said so, you should go in and take a look."
After saying that, the old man gave up his position and let Gu Chen and others enter the room.
Gu Chen glanced at the old lady who was watching TV in the bedroom, and then walked directly to the window sill.
There was no place to fix the rope near the window sill, and after careful inspection of the window sill, Gu Chen found that there was indeed no trace of being rubbed by the rope.
According to normal reasoning, if the perpetrator wanted to rappel down from upstairs, the friction between the rope and the window sill would be unavoidable, but this was not shown here.
"It seems as I expected, the perpetrator did not descend by rope from upstairs, and there are no traces of friction on the window sill of Ms. Liao's room."
"But..." Gu Chen glanced at the old man and the old lady, and suddenly had some doubts in his heart: "But if these two people are excluded, who will be the perpetrator?"
"After all, who could have imagined that two elderly people could climb walls like Spider-Man? Obviously the direction of the investigation was wrong."
Seeing Gu Chen bowing his head in deep thought, Officer Wang immediately searched the window sill.
He came to the same conclusion as Gu Chen: everything on the window sill was normal and there were no signs of anyone climbing on it.
"This is strange." Officer Wang looked at Lu Weiwei and said, "There is nothing wrong with the window sill. Could it be that we made a mistake?"
"Since it's not upstairs, then is it downstairs?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
At this time, the manager hurriedly explained: "It's impossible to go downstairs. Downstairs is the main conference hall. The space is so big and the windows are all dropped."
"If you want to climb in this kind of place, almost everyone can find it, and there is no support point."
"That's true." After hearing what the manager said, Officer Wang nodded and asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, you usually have the most ideas. Take a look at this scene. Are there any other doubts?"
Gu Chen shook his head: "Not yet, but I want to go downstairs and have a look."
"Downstairs?" The manager had some doubts and hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "What's interesting to see downstairs? It's impossible to climb up from downstairs."
"But if the perpetrator really entered Ms. Liao's room through the window, he would definitely leave some clues downstairs." Gu Chen directly refuted the manager's opinion.
After several people insisted, the manager was helpless, but he leaned into Gu Chen's ear and whispered: "Comrade police, there are some things I can't say in front of Ms. Liao."
"Look, no one must have entered Ms. Liao's room, right? She said that the ring was gone after she took a shower. I felt suspicious. Could it be that Ms. Liao hid the ring herself and then said it was stolen?
"
Seeing Gu Chen staring at him, the manager hurriedly said: "Think about it, Ms. Liao's other jewelry is still there, why is that valuable diamond ring gone?"
"If a normal person hadn't just confiscated the jewelry, where would he have left these things for Ms. Liao? So I feel very suspicious."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Chen smiled and said: "Manager, your reasoning is good. According to what you said, it does make sense."
"That's right." The manager was also aggrieved, and he came to Gu Chen's side and whispered softly: "To tell you the truth, last month, a lady also lost her diamond ring in the guest room. I guess it was her own fault."
"Directing and acting?" Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.
The manager nodded: "Yes, think about it, it's only been a month and the same thing has happened again. Don't you think it's suspicious?"
"What was lost last time was an average-priced diamond ring, but this time it is expensive. If it is true as Ms. Liao said, and our Moore Manor can't find any results in the investigation, we will definitely have to pay compensation."
"But you also know that Ms. Liao said her diamond ring is worth a lot of money, so how much do we have to pay? It feels a bit like blackmail."
Gu Chen also listened to the manager's opinions. Of course, these can only be used as a reference, and one cannot fully trust the manager's words.
Judging from Ms. Liao's anxious look just now, it didn't look like she was acting.
After all, Gu Chen knew a little bit about Ms. Liao. For such a woman with status and status, there was no need to do such a thing to blackmail her.
Not to mention the impact on her reputation, there was absolutely no need for her to offend Moore Manor.
From this point of view, Ms. Liao does not necessarily direct and act herself. Everything depends on the results of the investigation.
So Gu Chen said again: "Let's take us down there to take a look first."
"Okay." The manager nodded, and then took everyone out. Then he put his palms together and said to the two old people: "I'm sorry, you two, for disturbing your rest. I apologize, I will let someone know later."
I brought you a fruit basket."
"Okay." The old man didn't want to argue with him. After saying a few words, he closed the door directly.
On the other side, the group came to the downstairs of the Moore Manor Chateau, which is also the downstairs next to the window of Ms. Liao's guest room.
This is a clean lawn. All the lawns are imported from abroad and are extremely comfortable to step on.
Gu Chen directly searched the area below the window sill with Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, and Ms. Liao.
Soon, Lu Weiwei found a small match not far away and immediately brought it to Gu Chen and said, "Junior Brother Gu, do you see this?"
"Matches?" Gu Chen recognized the item in Lu Weiwei's hand at a glance.
Officer Wang also immediately stepped forward and said in a daze: "Do they still use matches in this place?"
The manager adjusted his glasses and hurriedly came over and said: "Our hotel has eliminated this thing a long time ago. It was used a few years ago, but now the guest rooms are equipped with high-end lighters for lighting cigarettes for customers.
"
"In other words, this match is not the current configuration of your guest room?" Gu Chen asked.
The manager nodded: "Yes, but looking at the style and length of this match, it should be the configuration of Moore Manor a few years ago."
"At that time, the boss thought that using high-end matches to ration hotel rooms would be a bit romantic, but later he found that it was not practical, so he asked us to purchase a batch of high-end lighters, the same style you saw during the previous search."
"I know." Gu Chen also nodded, took the match wrapped in a tissue by Lu Weiwei, and couldn't help but wonder: "The match is new and has not been used, but it rained a few days ago. Logically speaking, this
The match should be wet, but this one is very dry."
"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei looked at him straight in the eyes and asked, "You want to say that this match may be the latest one to fall here, right?"
"That's what it means." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang also hurried over, carefully inspected the matchstick, and suddenly said: "Look at this."
"You mean the middle position, right?" Gu Chen knew what Officer Wang wanted to say.
"Yes." Officer Wang also said directly: "It seems to have some dents. Is it the style of this high-end match?"
At this time, Gu Chen snapped his fingers and asked the manager: "Do you remember, how did you deal with the last batch of matches for the guest rooms? Give them away?"
"It's bad... more or less." The manager replied calmly: "Anyway, they were all eliminated at that time. It would be a pity to lose them, so I gave them to some staff at the scenic spot. They are not valuable things anyway."
After listening to the manager's words, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked him: "Who did you give them to? Do you still remember them now?"
