Chapter 124 Star Hotel
Is there anyone left for revenge?
Weren't they all killed? By the way, what hatred does Gardesas have with Vera and the three people who were killed?
"Chief Annick, Captain Poole, the losses have been revealed. The more than 10,000 pounds of cash we had on hand were all gone. At least 30,000 pounds of the company's bonds were stolen. By the way, the company's official seal was also stolen.
.”
Louis' face is quite ugly, he looks like he wants to eat people.
"I can't help you. Oh, Mr. Louis, we found out that Gardesus used your company's public accounts to transfer more than thirty thousand pounds to others. Maybe you should carefully check the company's accounts for the past five years now."
Annick's words made Louis' face look even more ugly. He grabbed the company employee standing nearby and almost roared: "What on earth have you stupid pigs done? I will provide you with a monthly salary of more than ten pounds."
, none of these loopholes were discovered.”
The clerk in charge of finance hesitated and said that everything was signed by Louis himself, and Gardesas was his superior.
"Let's go out first, Mr. Louis. After the damage is rectified, we can go to the Mining Branch to report the case."
"Thank you so much, otherwise we wouldn't know how much company property this rat Gardesas has stolen."
Louis suppressed his anger and turned to thank everyone in Annick.
"Section Chief, is it possible that even Gardesus was used by others? If it was revenge, shouldn't Gardesus be the first to be killed?"
Nolbe's idea was approved by Matthew, and she also said: "Senior, if Gardesas is retaliated by Vera, or simply a deeper black hand, label him as the mastermind of the three murders, and then
Taking away the company's money, isn't this a more ruthless revenge?"
"Tsk, it's possible. Who was the last person the staff heard about who was revenged by them or her? As for Gardesas, do you think he was given a hint or simply had a skill applied to him?"
Merlin shook his head and said, "I don't know. Although the rarity of spiritual type extraordinary people is not as exaggerated as yours, with space type, only one in ten is that rare."
Annick thought of his former captain, Mr. Parker, who must have awakened his extraordinary spiritual abilities and was promoted to middle-level by Cross Rose.
"Who is the remaining person who has been retaliated against? If the people related to the St. Ace Orphanage exclude those orphans, no one will have anything to do with this matter."
When Norbert heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Annick's arm.
"There is someone, section chief, the guy we met last time. He is also related to the Saint Ace Orphanage in a broad sense."
"Colbert?" Annick remembered that he had met the son of the wealthy businessman Ace.
"Yes, Corbett, the heir to the St. Ace Orphanage, the one who transformed it into a hotel."
Norbert's words were not taken seriously. It seems that the only person connected with the incident now is the owner who inherited the orphanage.
"Let's go to the Star Hotel!"
"Star Hotel? Brother-in-law, shall we go?"
"If you want to make a contribution, you idiot, just follow."
Captain Poole kicked Arthur to the carriage of the ninth division, and then got on the carriage of the Mining Branch.
"Okay, I hope I didn't miss the point this time."
Three carriages were speeding down the street, scaring away the stray cats and dogs on the street.
At No. 56 Cross Flower Street, three carriages quickly arrived at the scene. There were passengers standing at the bus stop with their boxes at the door, complaining.
"What a shabby hotel. They kicked me out less than an hour after I checked in."
Annick heard the passenger's complaints keenly, then jumped out of the carriage and grabbed his shoulders.
"Sir, how long ago did you get kicked out?"
The passenger was frightened by the sudden figure, but when he took a closer look, he saw that it was a man wearing a police uniform. He quickly grabbed Annick's hand and complained.
"Mr. Police, you have to judge. I booked a hotel at noon and checked in at one o'clock in the afternoon. Just now, the hotel owner led a woman and knocked on the door one after another. After returning the money to us, he kicked us out.
Since you have collected the money, you must provide corresponding services. It cannot be paid off with a refund. You must at least compensate, five shillings, no, at least one pound."
"Were you kicked out just now?" Annick confirmed again.
"Yes, I just came out, and most of the passengers cursed and hired carriages to leave. I'm in a tight situation recently, and the travel expenses for the business trip are not enough."
"Okay, thank you."
Annick interrupted his rant. This guy might be able to talk nonsense for another half hour.
Returning to the side of the convoy, Annick said: "People are still there, and Vera is probably there too. Boys, guard the entrance with your guns. If you see suspicious characters and stop them from a distance, if you intend to escape or resist with force.
, shoot immediately, understand? The opponent is a hundred times more ferocious than the most ferocious criminal you have ever seen."
"Understood." The boys from the Mining Branch responded uniformly.
"Captain Poole, I'm sorry to trouble you. After you find cover, help guard this place."
"It's okay, leave it to us. These guys are all good at shooting with bullets, and there's no problem with their accuracy. At a distance of a hundred yards, if you hit the left leg, you'll definitely not hit the right hand."
Captain Poole was very confident about this, patting his chest and promising.
"That's ok, let's go in."
Merlin picked up Norbert, who was about to sneak into the ordinary police station, and prepared to go inside.
"Bring this boy along, it will be considered a reward."
Captain Poole pushed Arthur out. Although Arthur had reluctance on his face, he still followed Norbert.
"Arthur, just follow Norbert closely. If he runs away, you will run away with him, you know?"
Annick said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"I understand, Mr. Annick."
The door of the hotel was closed, and the name on the handle said it was temporarily closed.
I turned the handle, but fortunately it wasn't locked, otherwise the second violent opening today would have been unavoidable.
"Wait a minute, keep your voice down, we're being ambushed."
As the person with the highest official position and extraordinary status at the scene, Annick stood at the front, while Merlin, Matthew, Norbert and Arthur followed behind in turn.
Opening the door gently, there was still only a snoring sound in the hall, a strange fragrance, which smelled like osmanthus, and smoke filled the hotel.
"This is?"
Annick felt a little strange and asked quickly.
"Sleeping incense is used to help ordinary people fall into deep sleep." Merlin explained as he opened all the doors. Fresh air poured in and dispersed the smoke in the hall.
There were several hotel employees lying on the front desk, sleeping soundly.
"Fortunately, it's a bit lower limit."
