Chapter 172 Im here to give you an update without even having dinner.
The troops from District 13 arrived and quickly guarded the entire hotel.
Before the guests who were originally staying in the hall could react, the door was opened with a bang, and the tall and majestic captain in an officer's uniform walked in. His sharp eagle eyes quickly scanned everyone present, and some guests did not dare to follow him.
Looking at each other.
Behind him, three rows of soldiers ran into the hotel, two teams went upstairs, and one team occupied all four sides of the hall.
A condensed and serious atmosphere filled the entire hall.
"what happens?"
"Why did the army come to the hotel? Is it because of what happened just now?"
"The hotel hasn't come to explain to us yet."
"..."
The person in charge of the hotel has actually been hiding in the back kitchen. Although he said that he would explain to the guests, he still did not intend to stand out and be the leader.
At this time, he saw that the captain had indeed come to block the hotel with his troops. No matter how much he wanted to cry, he could only rush out to receive them.
The captain glanced at him expressionlessly, then scanned the people in the entire hotel.
After a long while, the deep and deep voice slowly said: "Last night, we discovered that someone was conducting illegal espionage activities in the 13th District, and got the news that the other party checked into this hotel. So from now on, the five-star hotel will be under military blockade.
No one is allowed to leave here until we find that person!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet for half a second, and then fierce accusations suddenly exploded!
Everyone who comes and goes here is either rich or noble. It is impossible for them to accept interrogation and imprisonment just because of the military's one-sided words!
A businessman immediately stood up and shouted: "This is unfair! We are not guilty in the first place, why should we be trapped here by you? I still have a big business to negotiate, can you afford to compensate for the delay?"
After he started, others also started making noise.
"Yes! Why imprison us!"
"You arrest people just for the sake of arresting them. Why are we imprisoned? I am a friend of Councilor Zhou's daughter!"
"I have a banquet tonight, so I can't delay it here!"
"Let your commander-in-chief, the general, come and I'll tell him myself!"
"You, a captain, have no right to restrict my freedom!"
In an instant, the whole hall was noisy and noisy. The angry guests even came up to the captain, pointed at his nose and shouted curses.
Businessmen can also use the army to suppress them, but these powerful people will be difficult to deal with.
Even though the 13th District is now basically under the full control of the General Military Mansion, the political council can still play some role in restraining the situation.
The adjutant standing nearby picked his ears impatiently, then approached the captain and said, "You deal with them first. The hotel manager and I will go up and take a look at the crime scene."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for a response and called the hotel manager who was huddled next to him to go upstairs.
Those people in the hall were just hanging around the captain who was leading the team. When he saw an adjutant leave, they didn't take it to heart at all.
The captain glanced briefly at his leaving figure.
The chirping in his ears didn't seem to affect him at all. The captain's face remained expressionless. He lowered his eyes slightly and reached out to take off the gun from his waist.
Then, he opened the safety catch in front of everyone.
"You...what are you going to do?"
When the people crowded in front of him saw this dark gun, they suddenly felt a little scared and quickly backed away in fear.
The captain slowly raised his gun and pointed it at the person standing in front of him, staring at the guy with cold sweat on his forehead with calm eyes.
"Just now." His tone was low and slow: "Who said you were going to see the general? How did you want to go?"
An oppressive and suffocating atmosphere spread, and no one dared to speak.
The man who was pointed at the gun was trembling and just looked at him in horror, his eyes staring at the dark muzzle of the gun.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no sound, and the captain put away his gun indifferently.
The man immediately collapsed to the ground, then rolled and crawled to hide behind the crowd.
After that, a very quiet whisper came out: "What's so great, the military people always act arbitrarily like this, sooner or later..."
The captain glanced over lightly, stroking the barrel of the gun with his fingers.
The sound just now disappeared instantly.
The lobby of the hotel fell into silence again, and the powerful people who had been scolding him all shut up one after another. They could only stare at him angrily, not daring to speak in anger.
The captain glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Now, everyone should go back to their rooms. Those who have not opened a room will stay in the hall and wait."
Hearing this, the hall became slightly commotion again, dissatisfied with the tone of his order.
And even though some people had booked a room in the hotel, they just snorted heavily and sat in the booth unmoved.
The captain's expression remained unchanged, and he continued in a low and magnetic manner: "Because, we will go in and search every room carefully."
Wow!
After the words fell, someone angrily swept the things on the table to the floor. It was a fashionable and noble celebrity.
She glared at the captain fiercely, then stood up and walked quickly to the stairs, obviously preparing to go back to her room.
Immediately afterwards, people came back to the room angrily.
After all, instead of letting the other party search and cause chaos in your room, you might as well be there to watch or stop it.
Two teams of soldiers had already arrived upstairs just now, and I don't know if they are already searching.
Their pace suddenly became faster.
The remaining guests came here for dining and gatherings, or had not had time to book a room, so they could only sit in the booths and wait uncomfortably.
Seeing that the entire five-star hotel was finally under his complete control, the captain nodded with satisfaction and put the pistol back on his waist.
"You watch here, I'll go upstairs." After the captain said to the secretary next to him, he walked up the stairs.
"yes."
The secretary agreed and dutifully stood at the door and looked around at the people in the hall.
…
The second floor of the hotel.
Twenty soldiers stood upright in the corridor, and the two waiters who were originally guarding the public toilets shrank beside them fearfully.
The adjutant walked up, looked at the deceased lying on the floor, then took out white gloves from his pocket and put them on.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Carefully avoiding the blood on the ground, the adjutant squatted beside the deceased with his back to the door.
He raised his hands to pinch the deceased's cheeks and moved them to look at him. His eyes lingered on the pinch marks on the other person's neck for a moment, and then he looked up at the half-open toilet window.
The two soldiers guarded the door dutifully and did not interrupt his inspection for even a moment.
The adjutant withdrew his gaze and slightly opened the left side of the deceased's coat with a dagger nailed to his chest. When he pretended to check, a small badge slipped out of the cuff.
Then, he poked it with his finger and inserted the badge completely into the hidden pocket inside the coat.
After all this was done, the adjutant arranged the deceased's coat and began to examine the fatal wound seriously.
"What did you find?"
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded at the door.
The other party walked in silence. The adjutant suddenly turned around and saw the expressionless captain walking in.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a rather frivolous manner: "Why didn't you search the guests staying in the hotel first? What if the spy found an opportunity and ran away with the map?"
The captain remained calm: "The front hall and backyard of the hotel have been strictly guarded by the army. Even a bird cannot fly out."
"That's not necessarily true." The adjutant shook his head.
"What is the identity of this deceased?" The captain didn't say anything more. He stepped forward and stared at the dead man who was still staring at death and asked.
"The person in charge has already gone to get the information."
The adjutant said something, then pointed at the deceased and said: "The fatal injury was caused by the dagger on his chest, but there are also traces of injuries on his neck. I suspect that the murderer's original intention was to strangle the other person to death silently, but maybe something happened."
What happened? In the end, I chose to stab the other person to death, then jumped out of the window and ran away in panic."
The captain glanced at the window sill: "I can't see that he is panicked."
The adjutant shrugged and did not argue about the matter.
At this time, the person in charge of the hotel who was hurriedly looking for information rushed back, wiping cold sweat and said: "Captain, the deceased was indeed a guest of our hotel. He checked in yesterday morning and booked a room for three days in total."
The adjutant stood up and took the document, which contained the deceased's identity information and check-in time.
Room No. 211 is just diagonally opposite the public toilet.
The check-in time was at nine o'clock in the morning. I paid the three-day room fee at once and checked in alone.
The adjutant called the soldier guarding the door, gave him the information, and then explained some things.
The soldier nodded and left quickly.
The person in charge of the hotel looked at the two military non-commissioned officers and said nervously: "In addition, the witnesses at the time were a waitress and a guest. The waitress is in our hands now, and the guest lives in room 203, which is Zhang
The manager’s female companion this time.”
"Manager Zhang?" the adjutant asked, turning his head.
"He is the general manager of Tengxing Trading Company, engaged in foreign trade, and often travels between the Thirteenth District and Yamato to discuss business," the person in charge of the hotel said.
He has very clear information about this person. After all, whenever he comes to District 13, he will definitely stay in a five-star hotel.
The adjutant nodded thoughtfully.
The captain looked calm and said: "Bring them two here."
After saying this, the captain knelt down as if no one else was watching and began to examine the deceased himself.
The person in charge of the hotel failed to respond. Seeing this, the adjutant added thoughtfully: "They are the two witnesses. Bring them here. We have something to ask."
After all, he is the first witness, so this has nothing to do with it.
The person in charge of the hotel responded and quickly found someone.
The adjutant lowered his head to look at the captain who was checking the deceased, then squatted down and said with a smile: "If you don't go to search those residents, I will go first."
"Don't worry." The captain said calmly, "I told them they can't run away."
"But if you keep blocking the hotel like this, I'm afraid we will receive a report from the parliament soon. It's not easy to know the identity of the people coming and going here." The adjutant said distressedly.
"It's okay, there's a general on top."
The captain said, opening the deceased's coat.
The blood has soaked into the gray underwear inside, showing a dull color, and the wound has stopped bleeding.
So the captain simply pulled out the dagger.
In an instant, blood gurgled out again.
This is a nothing special, an ordinary dagger that can be found everywhere in street stalls.
But when he just pulled out the dagger, he seemed to have touched something, and it made a gentle "ding" sound.
