Seeing the receptionist's reaction, Yuan Chen and Li Ting were both overjoyed. This little girl definitely knew something.
"Have you met this man?"
"Yes, right in our hotel."
"Do you know his identity?"
"His... seems to be surnamed Wei. Our computer has guest data. He has lived here before. I don't know the rest."
The sincerity on her face didn't really look like she was lying.
Yuan Chen pondered for a moment, probably thinking about how to talk to her.
But the lady at the front desk took the initiative to speak first.
"I...let me ask, are you investigating this person for anything? Has he committed any crime?"
Sure enough, gossip is an innate nature of human beings. Seeing that the two of them had other purposes, she gradually began to relax.
"Oh, he didn't commit the crime, but now he is a dead man."
Yuan Chen explained very calmly.
"ah?"
She exclaimed, and her heart that had just been put down for a few seconds suddenly rose again.
"No...no way, you said...he is dead?"
Yuan Chen ignored her reaction and continued to ask questions.
"You just said you saw this person. When did you say you saw this person?"
"Just...just yesterday, he just checked out of our place."
"yesterday?"
Such sensitive words naturally cannot escape Yuan Chen's ears.
"Is there a specific time?"
"Yes, I will transfer the records to you."
She quickly sat down and started working in front of the computer.
"Found it, here."
Yuan Chen and Li Ting both put their heads close to the computer screen, where a check-out record was clearly recorded.
Name: Wei Chunlai
Gender: Male
ID number: 320666xxxxxxxx7777
Room: Room 404 (single room)
Check-out time: 10 a.m. on August 10
Transaction method: cash
…………
Today is August 11th. Obviously, Wei Chunlai checked out of the room yesterday morning, nearly ten hours before his death.
In addition, there is a "related" button above this check-out information. Click on it and see that it is the check-in information handled by Wei Chunlai.
The general content is basically the same, except for the time-related information.
"Check-in time: July 27th at 9pm".
The timing was right, and Wei Chunlai moved to this hotel on the day he resigned.
I finally got some useful clues from this trip.
"There are so many guests coming and going in the hotel, why are you so impressed by him?"
Yuan Chen asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Because he has been staying with us for the past half month. We rarely have guests who stay here for such a long time, so..."
Her words are actually not difficult to understand. For a small hotel like this, those rich bosses and business travelers with work needs will not take a direct look at it. Usually, only the following types of people come here to patronize it.
1. Angry youth and minors who have run away from home
2. Young lovers with little savings but strong desires
3. Prostitutes and prostitutes
However, these three types of people will not stay in the hotel for a long time. It costs money to run away from home. According to the black-heartedness of this hotel, the angry youth usually cannot survive for a few days before they feel the pain of their family again due to insufficient balance.
Warmth and beauty, and then return home.
No matter how strong the desire of young lovers is, it is just the effect of hormones. They will stay for two or three days and then return because the body cannot bear it.
As for prostitutes and prostitutes, they are professionals and have their own professional qualities. Usually, what can be solved in one night will never be delayed until the next morning. If the efficiency is high enough, it is often done in half a night, because they
I still have the next business to do...
From this point of view, in their eyes, a "nail house" like Wei Chunlai, who has lived in it for half a month, is simply a rare treasure, like a walking money tree.
Not to mention being impressed by such a big fish, if necessary, let her serve tea and water every day, say hello to her and she will definitely be happy and run away.
"Can you briefly tell us about his stay here?"
"Ah? Isn't this bad..."
"What's there to be hesitant about? The other person is dead, and you still want to protect his privacy?"
Yuan Chen really couldn't understand her logic.
"Oh, okay, but after all, I'm just a receptionist, and I don't really know much."
"It's okay, just tell us what you know."
She will think about it for a moment.
"Well, actually, although he has lived here for half a month, he actually doesn't show up much. When I see him, he usually comes down to get takeout or goes out to eat, and he comes back soon.
, sometimes I don’t even go out for several days.”
"This is gone?"
"No...no more."
Yuan Chen sighed and couldn't help but glance at her, his eyes full of helplessness.
This little bit of information can be said to be basically worthless. A simple summary is that Wei Chunlai is a homebody. He has to eat every day when he stays here, but the way he eats is different.
This is basically equivalent to nonsense. It would be a novel thing if Wei Chunlai did not eat or drink during these fifteen days and finally walked out of the hotel in high spirits.
Sure enough, there is a reason why I can only be a front desk person.
"Has anyone come to see him during this time?"
"No."
She shook her head slightly. She probably realized that this answer was useless, and she was a little ashamed and a little scared.
It seems that there is absolutely no point in continuing to ask this receptionist. Apart from being able to fool young couples who have no experience in the world, she is absolutely useless in other aspects, at least that's what it seems so far.
"Can you lend us the key card to Wei Chunlai's room? We want to go up and check the situation."
When saying this, Yuan Chen tried his best to sound calm. As expected, he couldn't rely on anyone. He had to rely on himself at the critical moment. If he couldn't ask, he could only go and see for himself.
The front desk lady found the room card without hesitation and handed it over with both hands. This was the only contribution she could make.
There are two heart-shaped patterns painted on the room card, with an arrow passing through them, connecting the two red hearts. This is originally meant to be Cupid's "Arrow of Love", and its function is to bind the hearts of two lovers together.
It would be quite interesting to connect them together and use them in a hotel.
But in reality, some people may have already been heartbroken.
