An hour later, a Mercedes-Benz arrived again at the doorway of the Thompson Manor, and soon after, the General Manager of the Prosperity Hotel came in, holding the surveillance video in his hands.
"Mr. Thompson, this is the surveillance video from that night. However, the surveillance can only capture the situation in the corridor; there are no cameras installed in the rooms, as that would infringe on personal privacy," the manager explained responsibly.
"Hmm, I understand. Having the surveillance videos of the corridor and the elevator is enough," Joseph Thompson took a USB flash drive from him, promptly inserting it into a laptop that was already prepared.
Susanna Smith stared intently at the laptop screen, and soon the footage revealed Phoebe Smith entering the Prosperity Hotel, and about half an hour later, Joseph Thompson also drove to the Prosperity Hotel.
