"Ah?! Why? What does the murder here have to do with us?! Why don't you let us leave?"
"You can't do this. If you suspect anyone is a suspect, get a court warrant. If not, get out of the way, we don't want to live here anymore."
"Who the hell wants to continue to live in a place where a murder occurred..."
Those with louder voices screamed louder, and those with lower voices also muttered.
The buzzing sound was endless, like poking a hornet's nest.
In fact, it is indeed illegal for the hotel to not allow guests in other rooms to come and go freely because a murder occurred in a room on this floor.
These guests were not at the scene of the crime, and the hotel management did not have any evidence to prove that the guests in other rooms were related to the murder.
People who can stay in the luxurious suites of the Dunhill Hotel are not ordinary people.
It didn’t take long for them to pick up their phones and call their lawyers, relatives and friends.
Although it was early morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people were still awake because the Spring Festival Gala had just finished broadcasting.
So soon a lawyer drove over.
While these guests were arguing with the hotel management and filled with indignation, Lu Jian, a man in the room, calmly logged into the hotel's intranet, eliminating traces of his stay.
From the registration record in the lobby, to his credit card, as well as the surveillance video in the lobby and the surveillance video in the corridor on this floor, he has deleted all images of himself.
Maybe the service staff who checked him in in the lobby still vaguely remembered such a person, but when the place became noisy after a while, it was strange that that person could remember him as an ordinary person.
The only thing that was difficult was the key card in his hand.
If the hotel management sorted out all the key cards on this floor, they would find that the key card for his room was missing.
And this house is right next to Ishihara Bezo's room.
Upon investigation, the person who checked him in might think of him.
Lu Jian pondered, thinking about whether to hypnotize the service staff in the lobby while returning the door
At this moment, the piercing sound of the fire alarm suddenly sounded outside!
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
The sharp sound of the fire alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire corridor.
The faces of the guests who were confronting the hotel management suddenly changed.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"Run quickly!"
When the fire alarm went off, the hotel management had no reason to stop these guests from leaving.
In fact, even if the police came, they could only run down together at this time.
The hotel management staff were the first to turn around and run down the stairs.
The remaining residents also shouted and ran towards the corridor.
Because the elevator will automatically shut down when there is a fire alarm, and no one will run to the elevator.
At this time, Lu Jin ducked out of the room and ran down behind these people.
Just as he descended to the middle floor, firefighters finally came up.
One of the big firefighters in yellow fire uniforms rushed over quickly, bumped Lu Jian's body, and then continued running up.
Lu Jin hurriedly avoided, but was still knocked into the railing of the stairs.
But the man didn't seem to have much strength. His back hit the railing, but it didn't hurt at all.
Lu Jian didn't want to argue with this man, thinking that others were going to put out the fire, which was excusable, so he could just go home as soon as possible.
Finally running downstairs, Lu Jian thought of his key card and looked around for the service staff who checked him in. He tried to hypnotize him, but when he touched his pocket, the key card was gone!
Lu Jin's expression changed suddenly and he quickly looked around.
Surrounded by guests who had just come down from upstairs, they were all disheveled, many of them still wrapped in hotel nightgowns and bathrobes.
It was obviously an emergency and there was no time to change clothes.
Although there weren't many people on their floor, there were still quite a few residents throughout the building.
For this kind of building, if a fire breaks out on one floor, people on all floors will be evacuated.
Lu Jian squeezed among this group of people, looking calmly for the service staff who checked him in.
Because when the fire alarm sounded, the hotel service staff also had their own evacuation tasks. At this time, they were working everywhere in an orderly manner as planned. Lu Jian did not find the person he was looking for.
The group of firefighters who rushed upstairs were the first to rush directly to the floor where the murder occurred.
Fire alarm records show that the first sound came from that floor, and the source of the fire should be there.
The tallest firefighter, the one who bumped into the road, was the first to rush into Ishihara Sezo's room.
Wearing a fire mask, he looked around quickly, then entered Sezo Ishihara's bedroom and found it completely dark.
Taking a photo with a high-brightness flashlight, I found two things next to his body that were incompatible with the tall surroundings.
A small test tube and a few pieces of yellowed paper that looked like they had been torn from a notebook.
The man didn't think much, walked over quickly, quickly picked up the two items and stuffed them into his thick firefighting suit.
Also due to the fire alarm, the power to the building was suspended at this time, and only the backup power supply in the corridor was still running.
The man exited the dark room and entered the suite next door where he had just stayed. He casually overturned tables, chairs and sofas. It looked like the chaos caused by someone running out of the house in panic.
Then he pointed the fire extinguisher into the house and sprayed it violently, erasing all possible fingerprints and footprints near the road.
After coming out of the room where Lu Jian lived, he carried the fire extinguisher to several other rooms, did the same thing, and then quickly exited.
The whole operation lasted less than five minutes. Other firefighters were still looking for possible sources of fire in various rooms. He had already retired successfully.
He found a remote utility room, took out a folded travel bag, opened it, took off his firefighting suit and stuffed it in, then took the travel bag, pretended to be a guest, and quickly rushed down the fire escape.
When he came to the lobby, it was a crowded time, so he quickly came to the registration desk in the lobby.
The place was also packed with people and hotel staff were not checking in at this time.
He stood at the check-in area where the service staff was checking in, and when no one was paying attention, he threw the key card into the drawer specially designed for key cards.
At this time, the sound of police cars sounded at the hotel's entrance.
The police finally arrived belatedly.
Just as a large group of police officers rushed in, several firefighters rushed down from upstairs.
"It's okay, it's okay! There's something wrong with the fire alarm. There's no fire, there's no fire!"
"A false alarm! A false alarm!"
"For safety reasons, please wait another half hour until we have eliminated the fire alarm situation in the entire building. It will not be too late for everyone to go upstairs."
The firefighters told everyone about the situation upstairs, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Jin was also paying attention to the development of the situation in the crowd.
When he heard that it was not a real fire alarm, he raised his eyebrows and felt a little strange.
Just when he was about to go to the hotel check-in service staff, a tall man came over and whispered to him: "Sir, the car you asked for is here."
When Lu Jin heard the sound, he immediately became alert.
This is the voice of the Soviet KGB Peter Huo Shaoheng!
Looking at the figure of this man, he is obviously the firefighter who hit him just now!
Lu Jin understood everything at this time.
Was his lost key card stolen by the KGB
This person is Huo Shaoheng.
He grabbed Lu Jian's arm and whispered: "The door card has been returned. Come on, the car is outside."
Lu Jin breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Then I saw the hotel management walking into the lobby, talking to the police, and then hurriedly followed Huo Shaoheng and left.
Because of the fire alarm just now, many residents also ran outside the building.
At this time, the hotel's door does not restrict people's entry and exit.
He followed Huo Shaoheng out of the lobby quickly and saw Huo Shaoheng still holding a travel bag in his hand.
When he reached the fire truck, Huo Shaoheng took out the firefighting suit from his travel bag and threw it into the back compartment of the fire truck when no one was around.
There were a lot of firefighting equipment piled up in a mess, including some scattered firefighting uniforms.
Huo Shaoheng threw the firefighting suit in the travel bag into the middle of the pile of firefighting suits. No one could tell that a firefighting suit had just been lost here...
Lu Jin noticed that when Huo Shaoheng did these things, he always had his back to the surveillance area.
"... You don't have to be so careful, right? There is a fire alarm here and the power has been cut off." Lu Jian pointed to the surveillance camera over there.
Huo Shaoheng said quietly: "...Our surveillance systems in the Soviet Union generally have backup power supplies. Of course, the surveillance cameras in this hotel do not have backup power supplies. But be careful and you will be fine."
Lu Jin curled his lips and thought, so what if he was photographed
With his methods, hacking in and deleting it wouldn’t be a piece of cake
But he also had to admit that Peter's caution was indeed a sign of professionalism.
He stopped arguing and followed Huo Shaoheng honestly through the crowd on the lawn of the hotel building, exited the gate and walked to the other side of the street.
A group of people gathered across the road, including those who came to watch the excitement, lawyers who were called, relatives and friends of the guests, and some who were hotel guests themselves. They ran directly to the opposite side of the hotel because they were worried about the spread of the fire. .
After Huo Shaoheng and Lu Jin left the hotel, they did not walk very fast. Instead, they just took a leisurely stroll and joined the crowd watching the excitement across the road.
The two of them quietly moved back among these people, reached the very back, looked up at the Dunhill Hotel for a while, and then slowly left the place.
The two of them walked to the corner of the street. Huo Shaoheng opened a car remotely and raised his chin towards Lu Jin.
Lu Jin got into the passenger seat of the car without saying anything.
Huo Shaoheng got into the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away from this place quickly.
They weren't the only car to leave the property, so they weren't particularly noticeable.
Lu Jin was full of praise for Huo Shaoheng's actions, but asked doubtfully: "...How do you know I'm here? I made sure that no one was following me."
Huo Shaoheng did not answer him, but asked coldly: "Is Ishihara Seizan dead?"
Lu Jin nodded and said with a smile: "Guess how he died?"
"Why do you want him to die?" Huo Shaoheng asked again, feeling a little heavy.
