Chapter 534: The Redemption of the Poor School Bully 28
The man quickly found the diamond necklace. She thought he would leave after getting the valuables, but she didn't expect him to pack up the suitcase and put it back to its original place, then hide behind the curtains again.
What kind of operation is this? Is he planning to wait until he gets back to see if he has anything more valuable?
In this way, when the housekeeping manager and the hotel security guards came over, they caught him red-handed.
Because this is on the eighth floor and the guest room has a balcony, the windows from the outside are sealed and the other party cannot escape through the window. When the room manager opened the door with the key, he was blocked in the room.
When the key just opened the door, Xiao Yun's spiritual sense could clearly see the excitement flashing across the man's face. He must have thought that he had returned.
By the time she discovered that six or seven grown men in security uniforms had entered, it was too late to run. She was dragged out from behind the curtains, pressed to the ground, and taken away with her mouth gagged.
It was at this time that the manager knocked on the door. Xiao Yun pretended not to know what was happening next door and followed Chen Aiwen to open the door.
The other party did indeed make very little noise, and no one next door could hear it.
Judging from how quickly they arrested the man just now, Xiao Yun suspected that this was not the only incident like this that had occurred here, and that this hotel was probably no ordinary one.
The other party introduced herself and expressed her deep apologies. Then she took Xiao Yun and Chen Aiwen to the next room, handed the diamond necklace that was found on the man back to her, and asked her to check if there was any other loss.
Xiao Yun opened the suitcase and took a look. The things inside were stuffed in haphazardly. The clothes were all wrinkled, especially the two sets of high-end clothes, which were definitely unwearable.
The manager also understood this and wrote it down in his notebook. He said sincerely, "Don't worry, Miss Xiao. Our hotel will take full responsibility for all of this. In addition to covering all your losses, we will also provide some compensation. I hope Miss Xiao won't make a big deal about this. Please."
Xiao Yun originally had no intention of making a big deal out of it, so she nodded. However, she still said, "Since there's no loss, you can just handle this matter. But I still want to know the result, such as how that person got into the room. This is on the eighth floor, and the other party couldn't have climbed in from outside, right?
I think your hotel needs to conduct a thorough investigation to see if there are any insiders, and also strengthen the supervision of non-guests entering the hotel at will. Otherwise, such a large hotel will have no sense of security at all."
The manager bowed again and apologized. "I'm truly sorry. This was all our negligence. Don't worry, we'll definitely make improvements. I'll report this to the higher-ups. As for the thief, I'll let you know as soon as I have a result. We'll also increase patrols on this floor to ensure your safety going forward."
Xiao Yun did not make things difficult for the other party. She left her contact information and let him leave. However, her spiritual sense was always following the people who were captured there, wanting to see how they were dealt with and whether they were in cahoots with the hotel.
Just as Xiao Yun thought, the hotel did not call the police, but instead asked the security guard to take the man directly to a closed room in the corner of the hotel's underground parking lot.
As soon as they entered, they beat the man up. At first, the man just begged for mercy. When he couldn't bear it anymore and was afraid of being beaten to death, he finally said, "Don't beat me anymore," and said anything.
Those people only started to interrogate him at this time. The man had already broken down and confessed everything he knew.
After the other party finished speaking, Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes. He originally thought that the other party was just a petty thief, but he didn't expect that he was related to a kidnapping gang.
The other party is organized to scout around these star-rated hotels, targeting foreigners coming to Hong Kong. First, they follow them to see if they have the financial resources, and then decide whether to take action.
For example, after following Xiao Yun and his companions for a few days, the other party discovered that they were not here for tourism or shopping, but often went to banks and office buildings, and even went to the VIP room in the bank. It was speculated that they might have come from the mainland to purchase property, after all, there is a real estate speculation boom now.
If that's the case, then she must be wealthy. Even if she doesn't have much money on her, her family should be wealthy. So they planned to kidnap her.
The reason why they didn't plan to target Chen Aiwen was because they could see that he was a martial artist, as could be seen from his walking posture and the muscle lines on his body. So they planned to start with Xiao Yun, who looked easier to target, and then threaten Chen Aiwen to give them money.
There was indeed a hotel service staff involved, a cleaner who was also a member of their gang. The cleaner could enter the room when cleaning, and he got in by hiding in the cleaning cart.
First sneak into the hotel room, wait for the person to come back and knock the person unconscious, then use the phone inside to call room service, ask the cleaner to come and clean up, and then use the cleaning truck to transport the person out.
Because he had hidden in the room early, but Xiao Yun didn't come back for a long time, he thought of seeing if he could make some extra money, so he rummaged through Xiao Yun's suitcase.
I wanted to see if there was anything valuable in the suitcase, but when I opened it, I found only clothes. At this time, Xiao Yun happened to come back.
He didn't even have time to clean up the scene, so he hid in a hurry. Although he heard the sound of the door opening, he also heard that Xiao Yun did not enter.
The room was dark, so he didn't know he had been discovered. He heard Xiao Yun and Chen Aiwen had something to say and went to the next room, so he continued to rummage through the suitcase. After finding the diamond necklace, he hid again, intending to wait for the other party to come back and continue with the next plan.
Just when Xiao Yun thought that the hotel would conceal the matter for the sake of its reputation, he didn't expect that the other party would call the police, and directly contacted a senior police sergeant from the police department.
Of course, the manager did this after calling the boss first. Listening to their conversation, it was obvious that the sheriff was their connection, and he was giving credit to him.
However, the other party did not tell Xiao Yun about this. They only said that it was a burglary and that there was indeed an insider involved. The hotel had dealt with the person and compensated Xiao Yun with 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Although the money was not much for Xiao Yun, it was still a lot nowadays. After all, she had almost no loss.
However, that night Chen Aiwen kept her in his room on the grounds that he was worried about her. There was only a big bed in the room, so the two of them slept together naturally, and also did some exercise.
