Detective Xiang Haiyang and another detective came to the deputy general manager's office.

"You've worked hard." Dressed in a neat suit, Deputy General Manager Zhang, who was about 50 years old, handed over a business card with "Zhang Ke" printed with bronzing letters, and invited the two criminal police officers to sit down on a chair with a smiling face that is unique to the service industry and has been trained.

Xiang Haiyang asked straightforwardly: "May I ask Vice President Zhang, how is the spare key of the hotel kept?" ”

"The spare key is kept by me during the day and by the general duty at night."

"What's the exact time division?"

"The night shift is from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m., so I take the key every morning when I go to work, listen to his business report, and deliver the key at night when I leave work."

"What time was it handed over last night?"

"Yesterday I handed over at work, around 6 o'clock."

"I'm sorry, we were routine, how did you spend last night?"

"Is it a proof of alibi? I'm one of the custodians of the spare key, and this is also a last resort. I went straight home after work, took a shower, ate, read a book, and went to bed after 11 o'clock. That's right! I read John Dixon Carr's masterpiece Night Walk. Deputy General Manager Zhang showed a teasing smile.

"What's the name of that general shift?"

"Last night's general duty was Xu Youchang."

"When we're done, you can get him."

"Absolutely."

"The guest room key, can someone else have a spare one?"

"Our guest room locks are all high-grade locks, which are not easy to match, but they are not absolutely impossible."

"Did any guests take the keys with them in room 2525 before?"

"Some of the guests are curious and specialize in collecting the keys to the hotel, but there is no need to worry about room 2525, because that room has been the chairman's room since the opening of the hotel, and it is not borrowed from outside."

As soon as Xiang Haiyang stopped asking, Sang Lin, another criminal policeman who had been recording the conversation on the side, raised his head, "Let me ask a presumptuous remark, does Vice President Zhang feel that someone has a grudge against Wang Wenliang?" ”

"This ...... The family business under management is so big, and the interpersonal relationships are very complex, we can't guess. But, after all, it's all work or business, and I don't think it's so bad that it would lead to a heinous crime. ”

Vice President Zhang's answer was cautious and leaky. However, the criminal police think that business entanglements can completely trigger the motive of killing, not to mention that Wang Wenliang, as a big man in the business industry, lives in the whirlpool of power and profit. It is not difficult to speculate that his existence will be related to the interests of many people. Those who want to get rid of Wang Wenliang can't say no.

"Will the change of the chairman affect the business cooperation with the Friendship Hotel?"

Xiang Haiyang touched on the biggest business problem that Wang Wenliang has to deal with so far.

"It definitely has an impact because it's the chairman's decision."

"What does Vice President Zhang think about this cooperation?"

"I agree with the chairman's idea before his death, this hotel is an industry founded by the chairman, he has absolute decision-making power, we just obey...... The misfortune of the chairman of the board of directors has dealt a heavy blow to the development of our hotel and the cooperation plan to be implemented by the chairman. ”

"If this partnership doesn't work out, who will profit?"

"If that's the case, the fierce competition with our hotel, such as the Xiangmiyuan Hotel, will be greatly relieved."

The two detectives then met with Xu Youchang, who was on duty at night, and said that the spare key to the hotel was kept by him last night and that there were no problems last night.

The two criminal policemen found Wei Xiaoming, the officer on duty at the main service desk last night. Xiang Hai preemptively attacked: "You already know the general situation of the incident, so I will be blunt." How was the situation at the front desk from 1:30 to 2:30 a.m. today? ”

"This is a very busy time for the night shift at the main service desk. The work will never be over before 4 a.m. No one dozed off. Wei Xiaoming exudes the pride of the first-class hotel staff.

Xiang Haiyang restrained his emotion about this unfamiliar territory and continued to ask, "So, from last night to this morning, did any guests visit room 2525?" ”

I can't answer in the affirmative. I say this because some visitors go directly to their rooms without going through the front desk. However, the main service desk did not receive guests looking for the chairman. ”

"Can I enter the room without going through the front desk?"

"In principle, we have to go through us, but we can't guard against visitors who walk into the room casually. In short, there are a lot of guests coming and going, so it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a guest or a visitor. ”

"Did anyone call the chairman at the hotel last night?"

"The front desk has not received any calls to the chairman. If you want to make a call in the guest room, you can dial directly, and the phone counter will record the number of calls, and the number of calls in the chairman's room last night was zero. ”

None of the people who worked the night shift last night have yet to go home. After ending the conversation with Wei Xiaoming, the two criminal policemen asked the people on duty last night in turn, but they all confirmed Wei Xiaoming's words and found no new clues. I hit the switchboard, and the result was the same. In order to be cautious, the criminal police also met with the guards who were in charge of room inspections from last night to this morning, and did not find anything unusual.
