Seeing that Han Fei and his colleagues had a strange expression, the waiter thought that the police officers hadn't obtained the answers they were looking for from her.
So she added, "Comrades, I can assure you that I didn't make a mistake."
"It's him," the waiter pointed at the photo of Xu Mo on Han Fei's phone.
"I have a vivid impression of him. He not only brought two beautiful women to stay in a room but also the presidential suite."
Upon hearing the waiter's words, Han Fei's face turned completely dark.
Bringing two beautiful women to stay in a room.
And in the presidential suite?
You see, the members of the investigation team had hardly had a good night's sleep in the past two days in order to catch Xu Mo. They had taken turns to keep watch, and their sleep time was seriously inadequate.
They could only sleep in their cars, which resulted in poor sleep quality.
After two days, everyone in the investigation team had dark circles under their eyes and looked exhausted.
While they were suffering, Xu Mo was living it up in the presidential suite, surrounded by beautiful women, reveling every night!
Anyone would find it unbearable.
"This Xu Mo!" Han Fei gritted his teeth.
At that moment, Chen Ke glanced in the direction of the elevator.
"This farce should come to an end."
Then he turned his head to the waiter.
"Which room is he staying in? Please take us there."
"No trouble at all, it's my duty," the waiter said. "I'll take you there now."
Before leaving, she took a universal room card.
Under normal circumstances, hotels would never disclose their guests' room numbers to protect their privacy.
But the situation now was different because the person they were looking for was not just anyone, but a police officer.
The hotel also had an obligation to cooperate with the police.
There was only one presidential suite in this hotel that had been occupied.
So the waiter didn't even need to check the room number.
She could directly take the members of the investigation team there.
They took the elevator and arrived at the door of one of the presidential suites on the top floor.
At this moment, the waiter felt a bit excited and nervous.
She had seen this kind of scene many times in TV dramas.
But she never expected that in this society governed by the rule of law, she would actually encounter a situation where she could assist the police in apprehending someone.
Exciting!
Taking a deep breath, she reached out to knock on the door but was stopped by Han Fei.
"No need to knock, just open the door."
The waiter's hand, suspended in mid-air, stopped.
She took out the universal room card from her pocket and swiped it to open the door of the presidential suite.
"Xu Mo, the game is over. You've lost. Don't make us take action. Come out by yourself."
There was no response from inside the room...
Suddenly, a bad premonition arose in Han Fei's heart.
He quickly stepped forward and opened all the doors in the suite to check.
The result was that there was no one in this presidential suite.
Did Xu Mo manage to escape again?
Even though he already had an answer in his heart, Han Fei still couldn't let it go.
He looked at the waiter and asked, "Are you sure this is the room?"
"Absolutely, this is the only presidential suite that has been occupied in the hotel these past two days."
Upon hearing this, Li Chen, Chen Ke, and Shen Manni frowned.
It seemed that they had once again come up empty-handed this time.
Just at that moment, the walkie-talkie carried by a waiter beeped.
Downstairs, the remaining waiter used the walkie-talkie to call the hotel housekeeping: "Auntie, guest 8888 is checking out."
The housekeeping replied, "Understood."
Upon hearing the conversation on the walkie-talkie, Han Fei suddenly had a feeling of a breakthrough in the darkness.
The room number of the presidential suite they were in happened to be 8888.
They had just confirmed it with the waiter.
This room was the one Xu Mo stayed in.
The person checking out must be Xu Mo!
Glancing at the waiter, Han Fei said, "Use your walkie-talkie to have the security guard stop the person checking out, and the members of the investigation team come with me to catch the person downstairs!"
...
They quickly took the elevator to the first floor.
In the lobby, four strong security guards were pinning a young man face down on the floor.
Seeing Han Fei and the others, they immediately spoke up.
"Comrade police officer, this kid was the one who checked out just now. We helped you apprehend him."
"Thank you," Han Fei nodded at the four of them.
From the way these four people apprehended the suspect and the calluses on their hands, Han Fei deduced that they were ex-soldiers hired by this upscale hotel.
When they were taking the elevator downstairs, he was worried that the hotel security might follow the principle of letting minor issues slide and let Xu Mo escape.
Now it seemed that his worry was unnecessary because the four ex-soldiers had Xu Mo pinned down tightly on the ground.
After Xu Mo was securely detained by the hotel security, the viewers in the live streaming room began to comment.
"Wow, that scared me. I thought Xu Mo had escaped when I saw the room empty just now."
"How is that possible? The net of heaven is cast wide but lets nothing through. Xu Mo wouldn't be able to escape."
"It's 'the net of heaven is cast wide but lets nothing through,' you illiterate."
"Although Xu Mo is quite formidable, he still couldn't escape the grasp of the investigation team."
"After all the hard work, the comrades from the investigation team deserve a rest!"
...
Just at that moment, the young man being pinned down by the four security guards spoke up, his voice trembling.
"What the hell? How did I end up attracting the police too? I confess, I confess! I know the principle of leniency for confession and severity for resistance!"
When Han Fei heard this voice, his eye twitched involuntarily.
This voice wasn't Xu Mo's!
They caught the wrong person!?
However, the young man being pinned down on the ground had no clue about Han Fei's inner thoughts.
He continued to confess all the crimes he had committed since he was young.
"When I was seven, I broke a neighbor kid's egg. When I was nine, I used to touch female classmates' buttocks. When I was twelve, I peeped at a widow while she was bathing... And since I started working, I visit a hair salon every week..."
"Comrade, I've confessed everything I needed to confess. If I cooperate with you, can you handle my case with leniency?"
The four security guards holding him exchanged glances.
Visiting a hair salon every week? This guy probably spends all his salary there.
They thought, could it be that this guy is the rumored person who disappeared after getting caught?
At the same time, they could read a message from the eyes of the other three: they wouldn't dare to visit a hair salon anymore!
Otherwise, they would probably end up like this guy, being apprehended by dozens of police officers.
Han Fei's face turned terrifyingly gloomy upon hearing the words of the young man pinned to the ground.
Once again, Xu Mo had played them!
Han Fei, who was as sharp as a needle, had already figured it out.
This young man was probably someone Xu Mo had found temporarily to divert the attention of the investigation team.
Or perhaps he was one of Xu Mo's pawns, brought in to toy with the investigation team.
Gritting his teeth, Han Fei waved his hand.
"Take him away!"
The fact that he frequented the hair salon alone was enough to land him in jail for a while.
Han Fei was furious.
This arrest operation had been a complete failure!
The main target, Xu Mo, wasn't caught, but they ended up arresting a bunch of small fries!
What kind of mess was this?
