The two figures appearing in the bedroom of Liu Bai’s room, one of them wearing the uniform of the Haotai Hotel.
All the detectives at the scene recognized him; it was just the Housekeeping Manager Song Hui who had led them into the cri scene monts earlier.
As for the other man in black, only his left profile was visible in the video, a rather gaunt middle-aged man.
Compared to a murder case, a kidnapping case is more urgent in terms of ti.
After all, in a murder case, the person is already dead, but in a kidnapping case, the hostage might not be dead yet.
Whether the other party will kill the hostage, no one knows.
Therefore, ti is everything.
The arrest of Song Hui was very smooth, and no violent ans were used.
Not even involving the hotel’s upper managent, Ren Qiang simply ntioned wanting to talk to Song Hui about so hotel matters.
A conference room on the seventh floor of the hotel had already been requisitioned by the Criminal Investigation Team.
Out of caution, Lu Chuan had just used a UV light to sweep the conference room. Lo and behold, beneath the table, they truly found a pinhole cara.
Qin Yong’s face turned pale; they had just been having a eting here.
If this gadget was installed by the kidnappers, wouldn’t all of the task force’s actions be under their control?
On the other hand, the Haotai Hotel is one of the top high-end hotels in Haizhou City, a five-star standard.
If such places are equipped with so many pinhole caras, imagine elsewhere.
This...
Can we even stay out anymore?
"The model is the sa as the pinhole cara installed in Room 1108; it might have been planted by the sa person."
"Let’s set this aside for now and investigate later."
Qin Yong set the tone; the task force was short-handed, and it was impossible to separate personnel to trace who installed the caras.
Moreover, whoever it is, it’s definitely not the kidnappers.
Who installs a cara and ends up recording their evidence of kidnapping?
As it stands, we have to thank this pinhole cara.
The mole at Haotai Hotel, an accomplice to the kidnappers, has just been caught.
Unaware of his exposure, Song Hui walked into the conference room, smiling and greeting everyone.
"Group Leader Ren, the front desk said you were looking for ?"
Ren Qiang nodded: "Manager Song, have a seat."
Song Hui seed puzzled: "No, no, I will not sit. We’ve got quite a few guests today; there’s still a lot to prepare in housekeeping, I need to go check."
"If you have anything..."
Watching Song Hui still acting, Lu Chuan thought this guy was quite impressive.
Such acting skills, it’s a pity he’s not in the movies.
Ren Qiang shook his head; there’s no ti for Song Hui’s theatrics now.
He glanced at Zhang Hui and several other detectives: "First, search for phones and similar items."
"Yes!"
This was essentially a formal arrest.
But to avoid alerting other potential watchers at the hotel, Ren Qiang adopted a discreet and gentle tactic.
"Eh?"
"Group Leader Ren! What are you doing?"
"Officer Zhang! I... What have I done wrong?"
Taking out Song Hui’s phone, completing the search, ensuring he had no other communication tools, Zhang Hui pressed Song Hui down into a chair.
"Enough, Manager Song, stop pretending, what happened last night, you’ve committed a cri!"
Last night?
Song Hui’s facial expression shifted, and he abruptly went quiet.
After a mont, he pulled out a smile uglier than crying and looked at Zhang Hui: "Officer Zhang, what are you talking about last night?"
Then he looked at Ren Qiang and the others: "Is there so misunderstanding?"
"I was on duty at the hotel last night, didn’t go anywhere, I..."
Ren Qiang wasted no ti and pushed the laptop on the conference table in front of Song Hui.
"Song Hui, take a look at this first."
The screen displayed the scene of the man in black spraying an aerosol at Liu Bai, causing him to faint.
After that, Song Hui was seen pushing a luggage cart into the bedroom.
The two of them worked together to stuff soone into a suitcase and then pushed the luggage cart out of the room.
The process wasn’t long, and Ren Qiang didn’t let the whole video play out.
"Manager Song, care to explain?"
At this mont, not a trace of a smile was left on Song Hui’s face.
A look of horror froze on his face, eyes wide open, staring at the paused scene on the screen.
On the screen, it was precisely the mont Song Hui looked up, getting his full face captured by the cara.
"This... how is this possible?!"
"There’s nothing impossible about it. Song Hui, just tell us, where is Liu Bai now, and who did you collude with to kidnap him?"
"I... I don’t know."
Hmm?
Ren Qiang almost found it funny.
"You all kidnapped Liu Bai together, and now you’re telling you don’t know where he is?"
"I really don’t know."
Song Hui knew he couldn’t escape, and facing solid evidence, he didn’t resist.
"My accomplice is nad Wang Laohu. I was the insider, he was in charge of the ransom and the murder, after succeeding he promised to give five million."
Wang Laohu?
Ransom?
Ren Qiang looked at Qin Yong, who nodded back at him, leading Ren Qiang to continue the interrogation.
"Explain clearly, who is Wang Laohu, how did you et, and why did you kidnap Liu Bai. Explain thoroughly."
"I t Wang Laohu at the poker table..."
Song Hui did not hide anything, confessing clearly how he got to know Wang Laohu.
It turned out, they first t a month ago.
Song Hui loved gambling, often playing mahjong and Pai Gow in his free ti at a gaming room.
"I don’t play big, usually winning or losing just three to five thousand at a ti."
"A month ago, I was playing mahjong at Xiangle Gaming Room, when a friend of mine suddenly had to leave, creating a ’three missing one’ scenario, and the gaming room boss recomnded Wang Laohu to join us."
"The guy had bad luck, although he played okay, he always lost."
"The first ti we played mahjong, he lost about ten thousand."
"After that, we got to know each other and often played cards together."
"I mostly won, sotis five to six thousand, sotis even ten or twenty thousand, all his losses."
"I thought he was quite considerate, losing without losing his temper, so we got acquainted further."
"But..."
Song Hui sighed: "Thinking back now, he had actually targeted long before."
It turned out, ten days ago, Song Hui followed Wang Laohu to a big poker match.
"That was a trap set up by Wang Laohu for ."
"That night, I had drunk a little, couldn’t control myself, and won a lot at first."
"How much?"
"Almost hundreds of thousands, nearly a million."
"Wang Laohu told I was lucky and that I should stop once I won a million."
"I thought the sa, intending to quit playing once I reached a million."
"But after that, I started losing, eventually not only losing all my winnings but also owing two hundred thousand to them."
"If it wasn’t for Wang Laohu’s guarantee, I might not have even made it out that night."
"Two hundred thousand... even grinding to bones couldn’t get that much money."
"However, I knew those people, if I couldn’t pay, my life would be over."
"Last Wednesday, Wang Laohu found , saying he’d help pay off my gambling debt and even earn a few million..."
