Chapter 896 Lost the Manuscript!

Seeing Chu Chen's smiling face, Mr. Xu felt a little embarrassed when he thought of his own performance, so he explained with a smile: "I like to chatter when I'm old, Xiao Chu, I'm making you laugh!"

Chu Chen waved his hands quickly when he heard the words: "How can this be? The truth becomes clearer and clearer!"

"You kid..."

Mr. Xu smiled and shook his head. When he saw the dishes that Zuo Shan had just packed, he patted his forehead and said, "Xiao Chu, I'm really sorry for making you hungry. You should eat first..."

At the end, he suddenly thought of something, his expression changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "No! I was in a hurry to go down just now, the manuscript is still on the table, I have to go back and have a look!"

While speaking, he ran out the door.

Chu Chen was startled when he heard the words, and he was also a little anxious, but he immediately thought that this is a high-end hotel, and the security is very strict. It should be impossible for something to worry about to happen. Besides, when Mr. Xu went downstairs to eat It shouldn't be long. Even if the time here is added up, it's only more than an hour at most. In this amount of time, unless someone cooperates with each other, the manuscript will definitely not have any problems.

"Mr. Xu, slow down, you won't have any problems!"

Seeing Mr. Xu's flustered appearance, and the fact that the other party was already in his 70s, Chu Chen hurriedly reminded him loudly.But at this time, Mr. Xu's thoughts were all on those few manuscripts, and he ran out without even replying.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen ordered: "Zuo Shan, go and see Mr. Xu, don't bump into him!"

"Okay!" After saying that, Zuo Shan walked out the door quickly.

After Zuo Shan left, Chu Chen graciously took out the bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Ke Ke, I'm so sorry, I made you hungry, Xiaosheng will serve you a bowl of soup!"

This made Wu Ke amused, she smiled and said, "Look how dead you are..."

Just as Chu Chen was giving Wu Ke some soup with a smile, Zuo Shan ran in anxiously and said, "Young Master Chu, it's too bad, your manuscript has been stolen!"

"What!" Chu Chen's hands trembled when he heard the words, and half of the soup that was just full was spilled. He thought that there would be no problem just now, but in the blink of an eye, reality gave him a slap in the face.

At this time, Wu Ke quickly asked: "Brother Zuo, what's going on? How many manuscripts have been lost?"

Zuo Shan shook his head with a serious face: "I'm not too sure about the specific situation. I just chased Mr. Xu into his room when he yelled, saying that the manuscript on the table was gone. , the whole person is spinning around in a hurry."

"What happened later?" Chu Chen came back to his senses at this time and asked quickly.

Zuo Shan replied: "I asked Mr. Xu to call Chai Pingle, and I asked the waiter to tell their person in charge to come over immediately, and I ran over to inform you."

Chu Chen couldn't care less about eating now, and said quickly, "Let's go to Xu Lao's now!"

Wu Ke nodded, because such a big incident happened, she also couldn't care less about eating.

At this time, Zuo Shan reminded him: "Young Master Chu, why don't you call again, I suspect there is an insider."

Chu Chen knew that his concern was messed up, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right! You go over first, I'll make a call!"

After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called his father. He had learned from Chu Junfeng that his father had a classmate who worked at the Xiangnan Public Security Department. This kind of thing would definitely trouble him on the head.

After quickly contacting his father's classmates, Chu Chen walked quickly to Mr. Xu's room, thinking as he walked, who would use such a clumsy method to steal his things!

Chu Chen was the first to think whether it might be the work of a highly skilled thief, but he immediately felt that the possibility was very small. First of all, unless the thief kept paying attention to this exchange meeting, he would not know that his manuscript was in Xuzhou. Old over there.But this time the waiters were screened in advance, and it is generally impossible for thieves to sneak in among them.

Of course, if the other party is a caring person, it is not too difficult to know that the manuscript is at Mr. Xu's side, but Mr. Xu lives on the same floor as him, and the security measures here are the most stringent in the entire hotel. impossible.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen subconsciously felt that the matter should be the same as what Zuo Shan said just now, that it was done by internal thieves, or that someone was cooperating with others.Only in this way, someone will keep watching Xu Lao's movements, and when Xu Lao is here, he will move his hand quickly.

Moreover, the rooms they live in are all presidential suites. Usually, there are dedicated attendants on the floors. There is another most important reason. If the other party does not have a room card, the possibility of opening the door in a short time is not high. .

In this way, if it is not an inside thief, it will be hell, and Chu Chen thinks that there is a very high possibility that the waiter on duty will participate in it.

In the end, Chu Chen also thought about the possibility that Mr. Xu lost his manuscript.However, this possibility is the least, because it is completely unnecessary for Mr. Xu to do so. If he loses the manuscript, he can usually only sell it for money, but money is not important to Mr. Xu. important.

It's not that Mr. Xu doesn't love money. The main reason is that his property is at least 3000 to [-] million, and there are a lot of precious collections at home. It's easy to sell tens of millions or hundreds of millions. In this case, Mr. Xu There is no need or possibility to do such a thing.

Just as he was thinking, Chu Chen saw Wu Ke and the others standing in front of the door with Mr. Xu, which made him feel strange, so he walked over quickly.

At this time, Mr. Xu looked very lost. When he saw Chu Chen approaching, he said with a sad face, "Xiao Chu, I'm really sorry for you! It's because I was too careless that people took advantage of it. If I can't get the thing back, I won't have the face to see you in the future!"

Chu Chen sighed secretly. It is impossible to say that he has no complaints, but Xu Lao is like this, how could he still criticize the other party, so he comforted: "Xu Lao, I don't think this has anything to do with you, who I would have imagined that in such a big hotel with such a room, there would be thieves coming to patronize me!"

Mr. Xu shook his head: "You can't say that. I usually put the manuscript in the safe, and nothing happened to me. If I put the manuscript in the safe today, this kind of problem won't happen!"

At this time, he hated his negligence very much. If the final manuscript was not recovered, he would definitely not forgive himself.

Seeing Mr. Xu's grief-stricken expression, Chu Chen quickly said, "Mr. Xu, if I really want to say something, it is my responsibility. If I hadn't taken you to my room to admire the plum vase, you would have already Go back to the room, and this kind of thing won't happen."

Speaking of this, he found that the person in charge of the hotel hadn't appeared yet, so he said to Zuo Shan: "Zuo Shan, go and have a look, how long has it been? Why hasn't the person in charge of the hotel appeared yet? They don't want to Shirk your responsibility!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zuo Shan nodded with a serious face, and left quickly.

Seeing Mr. Xu's pale face, Chu Chen said, "Mr. Xu, why don't you go to the room to rest for a while!"

Xu Lao shook his head: "I can still stand still, and if the matter is not resolved, I will not feel at ease."

Wu Ke took over the conversation and said, "Ah Chen, brother Zuo said just now that there should be clues of a thief in the room, so let's not go in."

"I'm a bit stupid now, I didn't even think of this!"

Chu Chen gave a wry smile. After all, the loss of those manuscripts had a great impact on him, and the area was a little messed up for a while.It's not that he can't afford to lose those manuscripts, but because he is a person who likes antiques. In his mind, the status of precious cultural relics like this is only among relatives and friends. After all, he is still young, unable to control his emotions, and his mind is much worse than usual.

Thinking of those few unique manuscripts, Chu Chen couldn't wait any longer, he said, "No, we have to ask the hotel's security personnel to guard all the exits, and if someone hasn't left, they can also block them! "

Having said that, Chu Chen also knows that this situation is relatively slim. After all, there is an elevator now, and it only takes a minute or two to go from upstairs to downstairs. Even if the other party doesn't want to leave his image, it won't take long to walk up the stairs , he reckoned that the thief had probably escaped.

Mr. Xu shook his head: "Xiao Chu, you don't need to call. I called Chai Pingle just now and asked him to inform the hotel's security to pay more attention to this."

"Chai Pingle?" Chu Chen frowned when he heard this name, but he remembered that Chai Pingle was very interested in his things, and he was the landlord here. It's still very convenient.

However, Chu Chen immediately shook his head, thinking that the possibility of it being Chai Pingle is relatively small, not to mention that Chai Pingle is not the only one who is interested in the manuscript. Now that this kind of thing happened, Chai Pingle, as the landlord, is the first object of suspicion.

And the old saying is good, if you want people to know, unless you have done nothing, Xu Wei's manuscript is unique. If it is really made by Chai Pingle, there will always be some clues in the future. By then, he will be notorious, and at the same time will draw its own revenge.

Therefore, Chu Chen felt that it was impossible for Chai Pingle to do such a stupid thing.

Just as Chu Chen was talking about Chai Pingle, Chai Pingle was also sitting in the car with a gloomy face, rushing to the hotel.He really didn't expect that something would be lost in the tightly guarded presidential suite. If it gets out, the blow to the hotel's reputation will be self-evident.

When he heard the news just now, Chai Pingle also believed that it was most likely the work of internal thieves, otherwise there would be no explanation at all.But if it was an inside thief, he felt a little unbelievable. You know, those who can work as waiters in the presidential suite usually pass through multiple screenings.
