When the atmosphere is filled with tension and uneasiness, alcohol becomes the best mood regulator.
Kuroba Kaito has a restless temper, so he went out for a walk on the excuse of going to the bathroom, and when he came back, he had two glasses of red wine in his hand.
Ye Gengyi: "..."
I don’t want to pick it up at all…
Kuroba Kaito didn't notice the disgusted look in someone's eyes, and whispered the information he had gathered: "The hotel seems to have increased its security again."
"Um?"
Ye Geng put the wine glass on the table and was slightly surprised.
The design allowed the hotel to focus its main efforts on dealing with emergencies, and then he stole the gems and cooperated with Kaito to create emergencies.
From the overall deployment point of view, allowing the hotel to suffer a small loss and the members of the organization to suffer a big loss can make the weak party hold a grudge and dare not act rashly according to local conditions.
But... what he didn't expect was that this group of people was so confident?
Ye Geng went through the situation in his mind and asked:
"Is there any concrete news coming out?"
"not yet."
Kuroba Kaito shook his head and whispered: "I saw it from the window. Several cars came outside, but I couldn't see clearly who was on them."
Are you starting to shake people?
Ye Gengyi stood up and said, "I'll get you a glass of wine."
Eh?
Kuroba Kaito was confused and looked at the wine glass in his hand... I didn't drink?
"..."
bathroom.
Ye Gengyi walked over to confirm the news. He saw several cars driving up outside the hotel in the middle of the night. Kaito was not the only one.
Um……
Ignoring which faction the people in those cars belong to, just judging from the fact that almost an hour has passed since I started the dispute, if the two sides really conflict, how efficient will it be?
If by chance the person in charge of liaison was beaten to death, he might not be able to catch up with the hot people who came to collect the body.
Or maybe they are doing it for other things...
Ye Gengyi found the right moment and quietly dipped a small piece of gelatin containing white phosphorus into some water and threw it into the dining cart pushed by a waiter.
A few minutes later.
Green phosphorescence and white smoke again caused a minor chaos.
Was it an accident, or was someone setting the fire on purpose? !
This is definitely a dangerous sign in an already unstable group.
The three security personnel on duty on this floor were ordered to do their best to avoid other troubles before the situation calmed down.
But now, facing the excitement of the guests, they obviously couldn't resist it.
What would he do, call for support, or... Ye Gengyi mingled in the crowd and watched the scene leisurely.
The shouting continued.
"I saw several cars coming outside before. Are they related to the fire?"
"Yes! You should let us know what happened, right?"
"I remember! A woman told me quietly before that someone from the government had sneaked in to investigate smuggling!"
Um?
When Ye Geng heard this, he looked over there calmly.
It was a man of mixed Asian and European descent, about thirty years old. Ye Gengyi remembered this face. At the previous banquet, when he was creating an alibi for Kuroba Kaito, he observed the guests. At that time, this man was only accompanied by a young woman who was several years younger than him.
Where is it……
Well, there.
So, it was true that Helena Winslet's contact with him was not for the purpose of cheating, but because she was a staff member of the hotel, and her purpose was to check for strangers?
Ye Gengyi was not sure.
Because the man in a suit who was guarding a few steps away from the woman was not among the security personnel he had seen.
At this moment, the elevator, which had not been running for a long time, suddenly heard a ding-dong sound.
The car door and landing door open.
Six armed men led by Helena Winslet came out.
Well, there's no need to guess now... After seeing a few people's faces, Ye Gengyi also restrained his thoughts that continued to spread.
On one side, in the crowd, the man of mixed Asian and European descent, about thirty years old, suddenly raised his voice and shouted:
"It's her! She was the one who told me that there were official people investigating smuggling!"
If only Ye Gengyi and a few people heard these words before, then after the overall environment became quiet due to the appearance of a group of gunmen, the resounding voice instantly attracted the contempt of many guests.
Official investigation into smuggling?
Is this kid afraid that he doesn’t know the relationship between the hotel and the government? You actually believe this...'Stupid Qing', right?
The strange atmosphere made the young man a little confused.
However, being stared at by so many people, he couldn't get off the stage for a while, so he could only look over and continued:
"Hey...you have to give us an explanation, right?"
"Explanation? Haha... OK."
Helena Winslet raised her hand and waved: "Take it away."
The two sturdy men took action immediately.
With a swish, the crowd gave way.
The young man was lifted up by the two men like a little chicken.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
He kept struggling, but to no avail.
"Everyone!"
Helena Winslet raised her voice slightly, drawing everyone's attention to her again:
"Some minor accidents did occur in the hotel, but I can guarantee that as long as you cooperate and stay on this floor tonight, I will do my best to ensure everyone's safety."
"Miss Winslet..."
A middle-aged man stood up, took a few steps forward, and asked, "Can you tell us what happened?"
"..."
Helena Winslet was silent for a moment and pointed to the floor at her feet: "Some residents and our people were killed, so I hope you will cooperate and let us check the room later."
Boom!
The hands of the clock stood at three o'clock in the morning.
The heavy atmosphere seemed to turn into an invisible force, permeating every corner of the hall.
How dare you kill people in the hotel?
Even some elderly smugglers can no longer remember how long ago it was when they last heard similar news.
'Checking' a guest's room is a poor idea.
Ye Gengyi judged from the seriousness in the woman's eyes that she was looking for lost gems for those people.
Faced with the 'arrogance' of these people, Kuroba Kaito thought of the tools carried by a certain man named Ye, and was a little worried at first.
However, after seeing those big men returning without success, he also became confused... Where did the brother put it?
"Didn't it scare you?" came a soft voice.
Eh? Something happened... Kuroba Kaito immediately turned his attention to the door of the guest room.
He saw the woman in black attire talking to Ye Gengyi.
