In fact, the smoke filled area was not just the room, but also the hallway outside.
Snake's men responded quickly enough when they heard the explosion, but when they rushed out of the room, everyone's face was confused.
What a big smoke...
Is this... a fire?
That's when they came up with this idea.
Ye Gengyi, who had already evacuated to the window as quickly as possible and climbed to the outside of the building as he had come, whispered:
"That's it."
"okay!"
Kuroba Kaito responded quickly.
Not long after.
On the ceiling that was constantly being licked by gray-black smoke, the smoke detectors that looked like decorations suddenly lit up with an orange-red light.
The same second that an abnormality was detected.
The fire extinguishing system emits a high-frequency sound that is deafening to remind people who are asleep that the fire has arrived.
…
"What happened?!"
"Hey, hey, isn't it a fire?"
Almost all the guests were awakened, and they all came out of the room to check the situation.
The hotel has also returned to its lively scene during the day.
Although the alarm could only be heard on other floors and no smoke detectors were triggered, some guests still panicked when they found that no matter how hard they pressed, the elevator did not descend to their floor.
Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito took the opportunity to mix in the crowd.
in the floors above them.
After confirming the location of the alarm and taking the elevator up to check the situation, a dozen security personnel wearing Sunak Hotel uniforms were confronting a group wearing black suits headed by Sunak.
Both of them were armed with pistols.
They all seemed to be restraining themselves, but no one knew whether a fight would happen in the next second.
"Do you know what you are doing?" one of the security guards yelled.
In fact, in recent years, there have been frequent incidents of guests causing trouble in hotels.
After all, this is a smuggling business, and the participants are mixed, and you may encounter people who have grudges against each other. After a few drinks, you can't control your temper and start fighting.
At this time, the hotel will come forward to act as a 'peacemaker' and come to 'break up the fight'.
For example, the middle-aged man who tried facial cleanser and the middle-aged woman who slapped him when they smashed a wine glass.
No matter who had smashed it, the price was clearly stated, a thousand pounds.
In addition, there are cleaning costs for floors and carpets, which will depend on the 'appraisal' situation.
Compensation must be reasonable and well-founded, and cannot be used casually to deceive people.
What? Don't want to give it?
sure.
If you don’t want to save face, then go for it. First check whether the background is strong enough. If the reputation is torn and the goods cannot be saved, then there may be a few more items that 'accidentally' sink into the sea during the transportation of smuggled goods.
Every year, some "newbies" who think they are doing well will become these goods.
However, this was also the first time they had encountered such a large customer who rented a large number of warehouses at once and was unruly.
"Hand it over!"
Snake's mouth was bloodshot, and his eyes were burning with angry flames.
He naturally knows the 'customs' of this hotel, so is this a habit of cheating and cheating, and it's directly on their heads?
Preconceived impressions are difficult to reverse.
Especially the 'truths' that he saw with his own eyes were enough to make Snake think on his behalf and firmly believe that since we live here for your gems, you can also steal our gems in return.
"What?" The security guard was confused.
"The gem that one of you stole from me." Snake endured the pain and finished the sentence.
He thought he occupied the 'moral' high point, but he didn't know that these people in front of him had no idea what he was talking about.
Helena Winslet also rushed over immediately after learning about the situation here.
However, when she heard Snake repeatedly asking for gems, even though she had not yet figured out the situation, when she thought of yesterday's invasion, her first reaction was that the other party was stalling for time!
Are you now planning to use the fire to confuse the public and then take the opportunity to steal their gems? !
The situation did not ease, but became even more chilling.
Helena Winslet made a prompt decision, and after warning Snake of the seriousness of the shooting, she forcibly led people towards the conference room.
…
The hotel restaurant.
Kuroba Kaito had a frightened expression on his face that belonged to a 'little guy', but his tone of conversation in a low voice was extremely relaxed:
"Brother, after all this time, there are still only a few people who have come forward to maintain order. Could they really be fighting up there?"
"It's hard to say, but usually, the leader should have a cool head."
Ye Gengyi couldn't tell, but he didn't care much about it.
His purpose was to induce a conflict between the two parties... If one party could really resolve the other party, and Kaito had personal grudges, he would naturally hope that the hotel side would win.
But the problem is that Ye Gengyi has no precise information about the two forces and cannot compare them. Naturally, he does not know which one is better.
There is no way a similar plan can be 100% perfect. What if the hotel suffers?
Are the official forces behind him willing to give up?
This was also the reason why he didn't directly kill the killer when he sneaked in alone after he and Kuroba Kaito teamed up to scare the security captain.
Disposing of the body and agreeing to a certain Kaitou boy not to kill anyone unless necessary during this operation were just one aspect.
More importantly, for Ye Gengyi, he still hopes to successfully transport the batch of smuggled materials out.
Otherwise, there is no need to create those specious misunderstandings in tonight's operation. Just kill one and leave a few witnesses by chance, and sit back and wait for the results.
As for now.
It doesn't matter how many misunderstandings the hotel and the group will fall into. As long as there is a rift between the two parties, his goal will be achieved.
Kuroba Kaito looked around for a while.
He was not worried about exposing anything, because in the entire hall, there were many people like him looking left and right, and then discussing the situation in a low voice with his companions.
If you act too calm, you will attract attention.
"Um...have you got everything?" Kuroba Kaito couldn't wait to change the topic.
"Yeah, 4 in total."
Among them, the pink love star is Kuroba Chikage's trophy. Let's not consider it for now. The remaining three are conservatively estimated to be worth a lot of money. This time in London, no matter what, it is a positive benefit.
Ye Gengyi was very satisfied with this harvest. After a moment of silence, he said:
"Don't worry, now is not the time."
"I know, I know."
Kuroba Kaito rubbed his hands, already eager to see the true appearance of the other three gems.
