The security guards took out the throwing sticks on their bodies to strengthen their courage, and they didn't know where the sacredness was hidden in Ms. Liao's room, maybe they would bring the guy and finish the calf.

It's not that I'm afraid of not winning, the key is that I'm afraid of getting hurt.

After all, if there is really someone hidden in the room, and the other party still has a sharp weapon in his hand, and he sees so many people surrounding him, then he has to look for you desperately?

Maybe the knife can hurt people with a few throws, after all, it's not a martial arts world now, and the plot of grabbing the white blade empty-handed is generally only seen in film and television dramas.

If you really want to run into someone with a knife, unless you have something strong in your hand, no one will dare to resist.

Security guards are paid to work, and there is no need to play with their lives, which is different from the sense of mission of regular police and soldiers.

Of course, responsible security is not excluded......

But at present, these people at Moore Manor are nothing more than people recruited from nearby villages, mainly to increase the employment of local people.

Seeing the manager say this, several security guards who were not so nervous suddenly became even more nervous.

One of the middle-aged security guards took out a stick, and asked the manager weakly: "I said, manager, if there is really something hidden here, can we deal with this thing in our hands?"

"I can't deal with it, so why are you invited to come here?" The hotel manager didn't have a backache when he stood and talked anyway, and he was already hiding two meters away behind the three security guards.

"That's not, should we get a shield or something, after all, safety comes first. Another white-haired security guard, who was slightly older, said.

Ms. Liao was a little impatient, and hurriedly said: "I said, what the hell is going on in your Moore Manor? This kind of thing can happen in broad daylight, and now you don't even have the courage to enter my room, what kind of service are you?"

It was also a few people who were angry, Ms. Liao paused for a moment, and said: "I can tell you that my diamond ring is worth a lot of money, if you really lose it and can't find it, your Moore Manor will be responsible." ”

was also urged by Ms. Liao again, the hotel manager was obviously a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Ms. Liao, don't worry, aren't we trying to find a way?"

"You said that after you took a shower, the diamond ring disappeared, how could it be in broad daylight? ”

"Oh, then according to what you say, you mean that I hid myself and slandered your Moore Manor?" was also angry by the manager's words, and Ms. Liao immediately scolded loudly.

The manager waved his hand: "That's not what it means, we'll go in now, we'll go in now." ”

also found that there were a few more strangers around him, the manager was stunned, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "May I ask who are you?"

"We were invited to the reception, and we heard that Ms. Liao's diamond ring was missing, so we wanted to come and have a look. Gu Chen said.

"Oh, I see. The manager immediately put away his guard and said, "That's ...... Let's take a look. ”

After opening the room door with the key card, the manager followed the security guard into the room.

Ms. Liao also followed, came to the desk, pointed to a vacant place and said, "I put things here at that time, it won't be wrong, the other jewelry is there, but the diamond ring is missing." ”

"Then how did you lock the door at that time? Can you show us a show?" As soon as Ms. Liao's voice fell, Gu Chen asked directly.

"I ...... at the time" Ms. Liao hurriedly took a step to the door, then closed the door, hooked the anti-lock, and said: "This is the most advanced anti-lock device, I also have a hotel under my own umbrella, of course I know, but that's how I locked the door at the time." ”

"I see. Gu Chen also nodded and said, "That means that when you are taking a shower, it is impossible for anyone to enter the room." ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too. Ms. Liao followed Gu Chen and walked all the way to the window.

"When you took a shower, was the window open?" Gu Chen asked again.

Ms. Liao was stunned for a moment, and then said weakly: "The window ...... I don't think the window has been touched. ”

"That means this window has always been hidden, right?" Lu Weiwei also hurriedly asked her.

Ms. Liao nodded: "Yes." ”

When the manager saw that these people were familiar with Ms. Liao's situation, he couldn't help but say, "Eh, what are you guys doing? I don't think you look like real estate developers." ”

After Gu Chen looked left and right, he took out his police ID and said, "I am a policeman from the Third Criminal Investigation Group of the Furong Branch, my name is Gu Chen." ”

Subsequently, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang also took out their police cards one after another and said something in front of the manager.

The manager was stunned for a moment, and his tone was much more polite: "So you are a policeman? That's great, you are professional in investigating the case, can you help us take a look at the scene and see if there are any suspicious points." ”

Gu Chen ignored him and continued to work with Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang to carefully search the guest room.

Lu Weiwei inspected the bathroom, Officer Wang inspected the bedroom, and Gu Chen focused on the position of the window.

But using his specialization-level observation, Gu Chen didn't find any useful traces by the window.

And from the windowsill to the downstairs, it is a vertical structure, if the thief climbs down from the upstairs, there must be a few traces left on the windowsill, but here Gu Chen did not see it.

also saw Gu Chen push open the window and look upstairs a few times, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked the manager: "Is there anyone living upstairs?"

"Upstairs, okay...... It seems that someone lives. ”

"Can you be more specific?" asked Lu Weiwei again.

The manager had no choice but to take out the walkie-talkie and say, "You wait a minute, I'll 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 there are a bunch of elderly people living on it." ”

"Old man?" the manager frowned, looked at Gu Chen and said, "Comrade policeman, should you suspect that the perpetrator climbed down from the stairs, right?"

Gu Chen didn't speak, but Lu Weiwei said: "Since this guest room is locked, how can Ms. Liao's diamond ring be lost? Therefore, it is impossible for the perpetrator to enter and exit through the door, and the only possible thing is the window." ”

also glanced at the windowsill, Lu Weiwei said again: "Do you usually open the windows like this?"

"Pretty much. The manager also said seriously: "Usually after the cleaner cleans the guest room, he will open the window a little bit to let the fresh air outside, usually as long as it is sunny weather, we do this, only when the humidity is heavy on a rainy day, we will close it." ”

After discovering that Officer Wang had also finished the inspection, Lu Weiwei asked, "Lao Wang, do you want to go upstairs to have a look? Maybe these two old men are suspicious?"

"I think it makes sense. Officer Wang also agreed with Lu Weiwei's statement.

After all, it can now be ruled out that the perpetrator entered the room through the door, because the surveillance did not catch anyone at all.

And now the hidden window has become the only place where the perpetrator sneaks out.

But it's obviously a little difficult to climb from downstairs to upstairs, but if you want to descend from upstairs to downstairs, there may be a possibility.

However, after asking the front desk, the manager learned that there was an elderly couple living upstairs, and it was obvious that they did not have such physical fitness.

But it is also undeniable that everything has to be investigated before a conclusion can be reached.

"Let's go check it out. Officer Wang walked out with Lu Weiwei, turned around and asked Gu Chen again, "Gu Chen, aren't you going?"

"Just come. Gu Chen turned around and walked with everyone with doubts.

In the corridor, the manager led the way and introduced: "The upstairs guest room is the topmost room of our Moore Manor Wine Castle, and it is impossible to go up, please here." ”

When I came to the upper floor of Ms. Liao's room, the manager politely knocked on the door.

It also quickly got a response: "Who?"

"Hello, I'm the Customer Service Manager at Moore Manor. ”

"Oh, is there anything you guys are up to?"

"Well, one of the customers who stayed downstairs lost her diamond ring, but the door was locked, and we wondered if someone had 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 that someone downstairs lost something, and the thief may have climbed down from my room?"

"Huh. The manager also laughed dryly and explained: "We are just speculating, don't we just want to come to you to verify it? ”

"Nonsense. The white-haired old man had an unhappy expression and said, "My wife and I have been in the room and have never gone out, don't you say that we are thieves?"

"Uncle, that's not what we meant. The manager couldn't explain it clearly, and turned to look at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen took out his police ID card at this time: "Uncle, I am a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Group 3 of the Furong Branch, and the donor who lost the diamond ring lives downstairs from you, and the diamond ring is expensive, we must investigate all possible suspicions, so please cooperate and understand." ”

As soon as Gu Chen said this, and took out his police card, the old man, who was still a little unhappy before, suddenly calmed down and said, "Since the police comrade said so, then you can go in and have a look." ”

After finishing speaking, the old man gave up his position and let Gu Chen and the others enter the room.

Gu Chen glanced at the old lady who was watching TV in the bedroom, and walked directly to the windowsill.

Near the window sill, there was no place where the rope could be fixed, and after Gu Chen carefully inspected the window sill, he found that there were indeed no traces of being rubbed by the rope.

According to normal reasoning, if the perpetrator wants to descend from the upper floor, the friction between the telescopic and the window sill is unavoidable, but it is not shown here.

"It seems that as I expected, the perpetrator did not descend from the upper floor, and there were no traces of friction on the windowsill 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 would have imagined that two elderly people could climb a wall like Spider-Man, obviously the investigation went in the wrong direction. ”

Seeing Gu Chen bowing his head and pondering, Officer Wang also immediately searched the location of the windowsill.

He came to the same conclusion as Gu Chen, everything on the windowsill was normal, and there was no sign of anyone climbing.

"That's weird. Officer Wang looked at Lu Weiwei and said, "There is no problem with the windowsill, is it because we made a mistake?"

"If it's not upstairs, is it downstairs?" asked Lu Weiwei again.

At this time, the manager hurriedly explained: "It's impossible downstairs, downstairs is the main hall, the space is so big, the windows are all falling." ”

"It's a place like this that almost anyone can find if you want to climb it, and there's no support point. ”

"That's right. Officer Wang listened to what the manager said, nodded and asked Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, you kid usually has the most ideas, look at such a scene, are there any other doubts?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "Not for the time being, but I want to go downstairs to have a look." ”

"Downstairs?" The manager was a little suspicious, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "What's there to see downstairs?" ”

"But if the perpetrator really entered Ms. Liao's room through the window, it must have left some clues downstairs. Gu Chen directly refuted the manager's opinion.

Seeing that a few people insisted, the manager was also fine, but leaned on Gu Chen's ear and whispered: "I said comrade police, there are some things that I can't say in front of Ms. Liao." ”

"Look, no one entered Ms. Liao's room, right? As a result, she said that the ring was gone after she took a shower, I felt very deliberate, could it be that Ms. Liao hid the ring herself, and then said that it was stolen?"

Seeing Gu Chen staring at him, the manager hurriedly said: "Do you think, Ms. Liao's other jewelry is still there, why is that valuable diamond ring gone?"

"If it were a normal person, if they didn't just search for the jewelry, where would they leave these things for Ms. Liao? ”

Gu Chen smiled: "Manager, your reasoning is good, according to what you say, it does make sense." ”

"That's right. The manager was also aggrieved, so he leaned over to Gu Chen and whispered: "To tell you the truth, last month, there was also a lady who lost the diamond ring in the guest room, and I guess she directed and acted herself." “

"Self-directed and self-acted?" Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.

The manager nodded: "That's right, you think, it's only been a month, and the same thing happened again, don't you think it's okay?"

"Last time I lost a diamond ring with an average price, this time it is a lot of money, if it is really as Ms. Liao said, then our Moore Manor can't investigate the results, then it must be compensated. ”

"But you also know that Ms. Liao said that her diamond ring is worth a lot of money, so how much do we have to lose? ”

Gu Chen also listened to the manager's opinions, of course, these can only be used as a reference, and he can't fully trust the manager's words.

Judging from Ms. Liao's anxious appearance just now, it doesn't look like acting.

After all, Gu Chen still knows a little about this Ms. Liao, just such a woman with status and status, there is no need to do this kind of thing to blackmail.

Not to mention the impact on her reputation, she had no need to offend Moore Manor at all.

In this way, Ms. Liao is not necessarily self-directed and self-acting, everything depends on the results of the investigation.

So Gu Chen said again: "Let's take us down to have a look first." ”

"Okay. The manager nodded, and then took everyone out of the door, then put his palms together, and said to the two old men: "I'm sorry, I disturbed the two of you to rest, in order to apologize, I will let someone send a fruit basket later." ”

"Okay. The old man didn't want to worry about him, and after saying a few words, he closed the door directly.

On the other side, the group came downstairs to the Moore Manor Wine Castle, that is, downstairs by the window of Ms. Liao's guest room.

This is a clean lawn, and the lawn is all imported from abroad, so it is very comfortable to step on.

Gu Chen searched directly with Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang, and an area downstairs from Ms. Liao's window sill.

Soon, Lu Weiwei found a small match not far away, and immediately took it to Gu Chen and said, "Senior 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 you still use matches in this place?"

The manager helped his glasses and hurried over and said: "This thing has long been eliminated in our hotel, and it was used a few years ago, but now the guest rooms are equipped with high-end lighters for customers to light cigarettes." ”

"In other words, this match is not the configuration of your current guest room?" asked Gu Chen.

The manager nodded: "That's right, 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 it would be a bit emotional to use high-end matches to ration hotel rooms, but later found out that it was not practical, so he asked us to purchase a batch of high-end lighters, which is the same style you saw during the previous search. ”

"I know. Gu Chen also nodded, took the match that Lu Weiwei wrapped in a paper towel, and couldn't help but doubt: "The match is new and has not been used, but it rained a few days ago, it stands to reason that this match should be wet, but this one is very dry." ”

"Senior Brother Gu. Lu Weiwei looked at him with straight eyes and asked, "You mean to say that this match may be the latest to fall here, right?"

That's what it means. Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang also hurriedly walked over, checked himself against 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 be a little dented, is it the style of this high-end match?"

"Hehe, you think too much comrade policeman. The manager immediately denied Officer Wang's speculation.

At this time, Gu Chen snapped his fingers and hurriedly asked the manager: "Do you remember, how did you deal with the last batch of guest room match stocks?

"Poor...... Pretty much. The manager also replied lightly: "Anyway, it was eliminated at that time, and it was a pity to lose it, so it was given to some staff in the scenic spot, and it was not a valuable thing anyway." ”

After listening to the manager's words, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked him, "Who did you give it to?"

......
