The male manager nodded in agreement and led the security guards to the surveillance station to retrieve the surveillance footage.
Ou Yangxin then secretly introduced her to Li Rui, "That's the head of our hotel's housekeeping department." Li Rui nodded and frowned, "Do you know what I'm worried about?" Ou Yangxin asked, "What is it?" Li Rui said, "I'm worried that once we retrieve the video, we'll see that the woman is indeed wearing a pearl necklace. That'll be troublesome." Ou Yangxin was also worried when she heard this possibility. She said, "Yeah, then our hotel won't be able to run away. The other party is the wife of the city leader. This is really troublesome."
Li Rui didn't say anything. He was imagining another more terrifying possibility. The woman was confident that she wouldn't do anything evil because she was the wife of the city leader. However, she relied on this fact and came to Sheng Jing Hotel to play a trick. She deliberately wore the necklace to check in, and when she checked out, she secretly put the necklace in her bag and pretended that she left it in the guest room. Then, she came back and made a scene in order to extort a large sum of money from Sheng Jing Hotel. This kind of deviant plot was hard to guard against and difficult to solve.
The two waited for a while. After three or four minutes, the surveillance video of the woman entering the elevator after checking in was retrieved. Just as Li Rui had expected, the woman was wearing a pearl necklace. Although they couldn't see whether it was pink or white in the surveillance video, the necklace was real.
Li Rui and Ou Yangxin looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
Ou Yangxin was a little reluctant. She thought for a while and said, "Show me the surveillance video of the elevator before she checked out."
A minute later, the video of the woman in the elevator when she went downstairs was also retrieved. The video was fixed at the time when the woman stopped moving so that they could see the necklace on her neck. Li Rui and Ou Yangxin looked at the video with their eyes wide open. They were dumbfounded. There was nothing on the woman's neck. The necklace was long gone.
"She really left it in the room!"
At this time, Ou Yangxin was helpless. She could only listen to the woman's words and think that the necklace was left in the room. She thought for a moment, then ordered the Head of Housekeeping Department, "Send someone to that room and search it thoroughly. Even the bed, tables, chairs, and chairs are to be searched."
The head of the Housekeeping Department said with a bitter face, "General Manager, do you still need to tell me this? Before you came back, we had already searched like this no less than three times. Not to mention the pearl necklace, I can't even find a single pearl. Even if I search ten times, it will be in vain. "
"Hmm?"
While the two were talking, Li Rui found something suspicious in the video. He turned around and said to Ou Yangxin, "Ou Yangxin, come here and look!" As he said that, he extended his right index finger and pointed at the middle of the woman's left neck.
The fisheye camera in the elevator was usually located at the top right corner of the innermost part of the elevator compartment (such as the top corner of the top right corner of the word 'gang'). The camera was diagonally facing the elevator entrance. Whenever the woman took the elevator, she would habitually stand below the camera. Therefore, in the surveillance video, what was shown was actually her back. Li Rui, Ou Yangxin, and the others were only looking at the back of her neck. Of course, the left side of her neck could also be seen clearly.
Now, where Li Rui's finger was, in the middle of the woman's left neck, there were two small red bruises. These two bruises could be said to be obvious. If someone pointed them out, they could be seen clearly. However, they couldn't be said to be obvious either. If one only focused on the woman in the video, it wouldn't be easy to notice the two bruises. Even if the woman's skin was very white, the two bruises would be more obvious in contrast. The reason why Li Rui could notice them was because he had been staring at the woman's neck.
Ou Yangxin took a few glances but couldn't see anything wrong. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you want me to see?" Li Rui found it funny. He thought to himself, Ou Yangxin's eyes are big and beautiful. How can you not see these two obvious bruises? He pointed at the two bruises, then at the back of the woman's neck. He wanted to make a comparison and said, "You still can't tell?" Ou Yangxin stared blankly for a while before she shook her head and said, "She doesn't have a necklace on her neck. What do you want me to see?"
Li Rui didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. He instructed the security personnel who was operating the computer, "Retrieve the video of the woman entering the elevator for the first time."
The security guard replied with an "Oh" and quickly pulled up the video from before.
Li Rui said to Ou Yangxin, "Look carefully. See if there's any difference between this and the previous one." He then pointed at the left side of the woman's neck.
In this video, the woman was still wearing a pearl necklace. However, in the middle of her left neck, her skin was snow-white. There wasn't a single blemish on it.
Ouyang Xin foolishly stared at the necklace for a long time, and her face was filled with confusion as she tried to recall. Her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up as she said, "Ah, when she came, she seemed to have something missing from her neck. I'm not talking about a necklace, but … what is it?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Look at what you're saying. It's so roundabout. You should say that when she left, there was something extra on her neck." Ou Yangxin nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, what extra?" Li Rui said, "There were two small patches of bruises." Ou Yangxin frowned and thought for a while before saying, "And then? What does this mean?"
Li Rui saw that the head of the Housekeeping Department and the security personnel were looking at him anxiously. They were waiting for him to explain. He thought to himself, I'm sorry, brothers. I can't let you know about this. After all, this is related to the City Leader's wife. The more people know about this, the harder it will be to solve the problem. It will also be harder for my dear Hongyan to handle. He gave Ou Yangxin a look and signaled for her to follow him. He walked towards the door.
Ou Yangxin didn't understand but still followed him.
When the two of them reached the door, Li Rui realized that the head of the Housekeeping Department had followed them. He smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient for you to hear this. I can only let your General Manager know."
The Housekeeping Department smiled embarrassedly and quickly turned back to the monitor.
Li Rui then lowered his voice and said to Ou Yangxin, "Those two bruises are not just any bruises, they are kiss marks!" Ou Yangxin was shocked and cried out, "What?!" Li Rui whispered, "Kiss marks, marks left behind when kissing." Ou Yangxin suddenly felt a little weak and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her neck. Li Rui secretly found it funny and whispered, "Don't touch it, you don't have it on your neck. Not all women will leave kiss marks, only those with especially delicate skin, especially thin epidermis, and especially weak capillaries will leave blood stains after being kissed by a man. "Ou Yangxin was annoyed after hearing this and snorted," Fine, you said my skin isn't delicate. "Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he stared at her and said," Stop fooling around, we're talking business. "Ou Yangxin resentfully glared at him, but her eyebrows and eyes were full of affection.
Li Rui analyzed, "There are hickeys on her neck, which means that she didn't come to the hotel alone. At least, she wasn't the only one in the room. There must be another person in the room. A man, an adult man. It's very likely that he's about the same age as her. And before I found this, we always thought that she stayed in the hotel alone. First impressions are the strongest. Now think about it, who would stay in a hotel alone for no reason? In the afternoon again? "
Ou Yangxin's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at him with admiration and adoration. She nodded and said, "Yes, continue. I feel that you're going to find the necklace soon."
Li Rui smiled and said, "So, we were actually misled by her, or rather, deceived by the asymmetrical information she gave us. We mistakenly thought that there were only two parties involved, one was her, the other was your Shengjing Hotel. If the necklace wasn't with her, then it was in the hotel. But now we know that there is a third party, the one who left the kiss marks on the woman's neck. Since neither of us can find the necklace, then the problem is very simple, it must have been taken by that man. "
Ou Yangxin was surprised and happy, "Then … we just have to find that man, then we can get the necklace back?" Li Rui shook his head and smiled, "It's not that we're looking for that man, it's that woman who is looking for that man. The necklace was taken by the person who slept with her, how can she not look for it? The fault doesn't lie with the hotel. " Ou Yangxin was extremely happy, her beautiful eyes flashed with multicolored light. She excitedly pulled Li Rui and said, "Good, then let's go quickly. We'll find that woman and reason with her. Let's see if she can still be so arrogant." Li Rui quickly stopped her and said, "Now is not the time to rush." Ou Yangxin was surprised, "Why?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Previously, it was all my guesses and deductions. Although it sounds reasonable at first, we can't use it as evidence before we have concrete evidence."
