Xiao He described the other party's basic characteristics in detail, and then pointed to the corridor beside him: "I chased him here, but he disappeared around the corner. There were no signs of use in the elevator or the stairwell, so I suspect he hid in a room."

Officer Zhang and Officer Li both became serious at the same time: "Are you sure?"

If a criminal enters a room, the occupant of that room may still be in danger!

Xiao He: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I have no evidence to prove it, but based on the situation at the time, that's basically how it was."

"Are you monitoring us?"

Officer Zhang asked the hotel manager standing nearby.

The hotel manager said with a bitter face, "Officer, our surveillance cameras just happened to be broken! But it really wasn't our fault. It happened just an hour ago. I suspect it was that guy who did it. Our hotel's surveillance cameras are always checked regularly, and there have never been any problems before."

Are all the rooms on this floor occupied?

"Yes, yes! This place is mainly inhabited by the crew of 'The First Light'."

“We need to conduct a security check on every room on this floor immediately,” Officer Zhang said, then looked at Xiao He, “and we also ask Xiao to accompany us throughout the process to help identify the suspect.”

"Okay." Xiao He nodded.

Soon after, the police began to lead officers to knock on doors one by one.

First, suspicion was placed on the two largest rooms—the two rooms closest to the corner.

Based on the suspect's escape speed and time, these two rooms would be the easiest places for him to hide.

Officer Zhang knocked for a while before someone finally opened the door.

Surprisingly, the person inside was Ran Yunrui!

Oh right, the hotel manager just mentioned that the people staying here are from the cast of the idol drama "Qing Guang Ru Chu". If I remember correctly, Ran Yunrui did play the male lead in this drama.

Xiao He still vividly remembers his constant use of profanity.

"I'm so fed up! Look at the time! What the hell are you doing?" Ran Yunrui, still half-asleep and irritable, looked wary and bewildered when he saw the police officers and the group of people in front of him. "What are you doing?"

"Hello, we are police officers from the Haibin District Police Station. This is my identification."

Officer Zhang flashed his badge while keenly scanning the room: "Are you the only one in the room right now?"

"Yeah," Ran Yunrui scratched his head, "Did something happen?"

"Would it be convenient for me to come in and check?"

"This is a violation of personal privacy... Even if you are police officers, you can't do this..."

Ran Yunrui grumbled and complained, but ultimately dared not confront the police head-on, and stepped aside to let Officer Zhang enter the room to conduct an inspection.

The hotel manager, with a forced smile, explained the situation to Ran Yunrui.

Ran Yunrui's eyes widened: "Holy crap! Is that even possible?"

"Are you sure that guy hasn't escaped yet? Then hurry up and search! Send more people to search! This is terrifying; it could threaten our lives at any moment!"

Ran Yunrui, who had initially been indifferent, suddenly began to urge him actively, a stark contrast to his previous nonchalant attitude.

He even started angrily accusing the hotel manager: "This is outrageous! If it weren't for the fact that you're the best hotel around here, I wouldn't even want to stay here! What if something like this happens again? I have way more stalker fans than these nobodies. How are you going to protect my safety in the future?"

The hotel manager was covered in sweat and could only keep nodding and bowing in apology.

Xiao He: "..."

Just say what you want to say, why are you trying to put people down?

Who are you calling a washed-up celebrity?
