Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 279 278. No time to mourn, we must start looking for evidence immediately! (Three more)

Feldrich was dead, lying face down in the room, with a short knife stuck in his back, obviously the kind used by a mercenary.

Blood was still soaking the carpet. The originally soft and warm body had begun to lose temperature rapidly and would become extremely stiff in a short while.

She was lying face down on the ground after being suddenly attacked. There was no way to know what expression she would have - no one could have imagined that such a powerful person would suddenly die inexplicably in such a small place.

The people outside the room were silent, not daring to speak loudly. They couldn't even imagine that their boss was suddenly gone.

According to Abian's usual high-pressure measures, some people will probably resign, and some people will probably be put to good use.

When Seifer rushed back, the scene looked like this... He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly walked over and closed the door. "Are there any cameras in the hotel?"

The equally anxious hotel manager quickly replied, "In the corridor! In the corridor!"

The other party hurriedly handed over a large book. Everyone gathered in the corridor, nervously watching the surveillance footage of the thing.

Cypher frowned (mimicking). "Only the corridor? No other places, the lobby, the stairs, the hot spring baths..."

The supervisor quickly shook his head. "We are committed to protecting our customers' privacy. We won't install these surveillance cameras in the guest rooms or private bathing areas, because customers may discuss business matters..."

I'm already talking nonsense.

The cameras in the corridor alone would be fine, as there were also surveillance cameras in many places outside this luxurious conference and living suite. However, after watching for a few minutes, Sefer realized that this stuff wasn't working.

From the moment Feldridge closed the door and walked into the room, until a muffled sound was heard from inside and the door suddenly opened inward, no one approached the door.

The cameras outside were the same, no one was seen coming in or out. Anyway, the VIP was inexplicably stabbed in the back and was lying on the ground in a flower of hope posture.

Everyone looked at each other, and when they decided to ask their superiors for instructions, Cypher suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I don't think that's necessary."

"First of all, there are cameras outside this hotel. If the murderer came in from outside and escaped, it's impossible for him to see... the supervisor, right?"

The man nodded hurriedly.

"So the murderer is among those still in the hotel. Block all the exits, including the ventilation ducts. Mount machine guns for me."

"You are only allowed to enter, not leave. Then let everyone come to the lobby."

The supervisor looked embarrassed... Those who could choose this hotel were not from simple backgrounds. If he called them all to the lobby, what if he offended them?
"You're hesitant even about this?" Cypher said with a look of disappointment. "Don't you understand how dangerous this situation is?"

After opening the conversation, Seifer raised his hand and pointed, "Now, the person lying in there is a top executive of Abian Company. Such a terrible thing happened in your hotel. Do you think Abian Company will let it go?"

I don't know what this word is translated into, but the supervisor's sweat started to fall off his head.

"If it was some minion who died... didn't an I/O Enterprise executive just die here? Two people died in just a few hours. Do you really think you can take responsibility?"

Honestly, that's true. Not only can the supervisor bear the responsibility, but everyone in the entire hotel could be targeted by the company's retaliation. And as everyone knows, the company's retaliation is all-encompassing. If you're caught, it's better to commit suicide quickly. Otherwise, it's more than just a simple death.

Big companies have their own set of policies to make the best use of resources and people. If they really get started, there will definitely be more than fifteen ways to get back on track.

In the worst case scenario, not only this hotel, but even the entire node city might be hit by a retaliatory attack - all this is because of some mercenaries who are doing this here for a little reward!
So after weighing the pros and cons for a few seconds, the supervisor nodded without hesitation and quickly ran to gather the people in the hotel.

The people in Abian had different expressions.

They were all looking at Cipher, as if waiting for this 'bodyguard' to say something, but Cipher just waved his hand. "Why are you looking at me? Stay put until the truth comes out. Don't run around. And watch the people around you. Who knows if they're the ones who did this?"

Just think about it and you will know that the traitor is right next to you. It is even possible that he will change his clothes and go to assassinate you. After the assassination, he will climb out from the partition of the room on both sides or the wall and finish the job.

Because of these private areas, it is impossible for hotels to install cameras, and it is easy to bypass the security system.

How should I put it? It's such a large independent suite, but there are no cameras around. It's too weird. Maybe it's prepared for some people to have private communication when it's inconvenient.

Seifer didn't care much about it. He waited at the door for a while, lowered his head to observe the situation in the car on the UI, and asked Dr. Mei if there were any strange people approaching the car. After getting the answer "no movement", he immediately went to the hall.

——The higher-ups could not be notified, and all entrances and exits were blocked while controlling the news. There were now many more chairs in the luxurious, low-key and restrained hall.

Guests of all stripes, dressed in their finery, and of varying status, gathered here. Other waiters and waitresses, except those who were there to maintain the normal operation of the place, all gathered here.

Many customers were complaining that they were busy and why they were being rushed over at this time. However, the guns of the corporate mercenaries at the door were not fake, so they could only complain in low voices.

Seifer took a quick look and saw that many representatives from large and small companies had chosen this hotel... He had to admit, it was indeed a high-level hotel.

Seeing that everyone in Abian was looking at him, Seifer didn't hesitate and walked directly to the group in the hall: "Listen up, everyone, a murder has occurred in this hotel."

Someone immediately responded, "It's just that the executives of I/O Enterprises are dead. The criminals have escaped. What the hell are you mercenaries up to?"

That's right, Seifer also thought that playing detective games was indeed a waste of time.

"At the same time, another important figure was assassinated. Believe me, you don't want to know who it was. But one thing is certain, if the news leaks out before the murderer is found, with you guys like you..."

Cypher paused deliberately, imitating the characters in the movies he had seen before: "Everyone must die, no one will be spared."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone protested. During this time, Seifer observed everyone's expressions and was surprised to find that everyone seemed to be genuinely angry.

Strange, is it possible that everyone here is fine? Is the murderer hiding among the waiters or those in other special professions?

Cypher stroked his chin, becoming somewhat interested in the current situation.
