11:30 am, balcony on the 27th floor of a hotel in Tokyo.

A small hand reached out from the lavender parasol and elegantly picked up the champagne glass on the table.

The petite figure was lying on a sun lounger, wearing a blue dress, sunglasses big enough to cover half of her face, holding a book, enjoying the last remnants of summer.

Although there is a public swimming pool on the first floor of the hotel, due to her status and her conspicuous blonde hair, she cannot go down and enjoy the service, and has to stay in the room to bask in the sun.

"I said..."

The girl in the belly-baring shirt opened the balcony door and complained to the figure lying on the sun lounger:

"Why let me stay at home? He has already left for the hospital. Shouldn't I take this opportunity to take action?"

My arm stiffened slightly, and a child's voice came from under the parasol:

"I've told you, don't run around recently. An experienced hunter will definitely shoot when he is fully prepared. If he misses the prey, he will retreat and choose another time."

“Yes, yes, yes…”

The girl rubbed her sore shoulders and sat down under the parasol:

"That's what you said, but I feel like you're afraid of that man."

"If you had come into contact with his father, you wouldn't have said that."

The eyes behind the sunglasses were directed towards the towering red Tokyo Tower in the distance. The petite figure recalled the past with a slightly heavy tone:

"His father is even scarier than Rum. When everyone was staring at Karasuma Renye, he had already predicted the possibilities of the future. Many things that are happening now are foreshadowings he had laid in the past."

"So exaggerated?"

The girl opened her mouth wide, revealing her two fangs, with a look of surprise on her face.

“This is just a conservative estimate.”

The petite figure shook her head, looked at the scenery downstairs, and sighed softly:

"He even bet on himself..."

The girl was about to say something when suddenly, the sensor placed on the table inside the room began to buzz.

Beep beep!

Beep beep!

Hearing the alarm, the petite figure suddenly flipped off the chair, rushed into the house, grabbed the sensor, and connected the headphones.

After a while...

She took off her headphones, and her face became completely gloomy:

"We're exposed."

“No way?!”

The girl who came in next was startled:

"Who is the other party?"

"I don't know. I didn't hear any conversation. The other party was very alert. He must have discovered the eavesdropping device I installed, but he didn't destroy it. I guess he was trying to confuse my judgment and buy time for his next move..."

After a little thought, the petite figure immediately made a decision:

"It's not safe here anymore, pack up your things... No, don't pack up, just move away!"

"I'll get the bag!"

The girl acted decisively and jumped up, rushed into the bedroom, and grabbed the bag containing credit cards and other items that could prove their identity.

In order to evacuate as quickly as possible, they put all the important items together so that they can leave quickly in an emergency, but...

There is no such thing as the optical telescope and other clothes and daily necessities placed in the living room.

At the entrance, the little girl, wearing shoes and a hat, was already waiting for her. The two of them only took one minute to prepare, and their movements were very fast. However...

Just downstairs from the hotel where they were staying, a black Toyota Crown sedan was tearing through the dense traffic in the most brutal manner and stopped at the door.

After leaving the room, the girl quickly ran to the elevator and kept pressing the down button, trying to summon the elevator.

“Don’t take the elevator!”

The petite figure shouted:

"Although the elevator is fast, it will expose our position. Let's take the safe passage!"

Following the little girl's instructions, the girl left the slowly opening elevator door and rushed into the emergency passage with her.

Hotel lobby 1st floor.

After arriving at the Haido Grand Hotel, Miss Miyano found the hotel lobby manager and used the police manual prepared by Kidd to inquire about the whereabouts of Akai Mary. Sakaki Makoto stood in the busy lobby and looked around. Suddenly, he saw an elevator stop on the first floor. After two guests walked out, the elevator door quickly closed and went up all the way to the 27th floor. The number no longer changed.

After gathering this information, Sakaki Makoto's pupils shrank slightly, revealing a sneer:

"Found...you."

"Cheng, I asked, and the lobby manager said he didn't remember there was a little blonde girl in the hotel, nor was there a guest named Akai Mary..."

Miss Miyano hurried back with the check-in list in hand. Seeing her boyfriend staring at the elevator, she asked in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

"We found her."

Sakaki Makoto smiled and pointed at the elevator and said:

"An empty elevator stopped at the 27th floor, which means someone pressed the elevator button for the 27th floor, but she did not choose to take the elevator. Why did she do that?"

"Because she realized that taking the elevator would be dangerous, she gave up!"

Miss Miyano reacted immediately:

"Just now I took a look at the hotel building map on the wall. The Beihu Grand Hotel has a total of 6 elevators and a fire escape. If Akai Mary didn't choose to take the elevator... then she could only escape through the fire escape!"

"That's right."

Sakaki Makoto nodded slightly, then became a little puzzled:

"But why did she leave the hotel? She didn't leave any clues at the front desk. If we want to find her, we have to search each room one by one. But her action of wanting to leave the hotel has exposed her location. It's just like... just like..."

"It's like protecting something even at the cost of one's own life."

Miss Miyano pulled her hair up:

"She wants to use this to attract our attention and use herself as bait to protect... the person who booked a room for her at Beihu Zunhao Hotel."

"As long as we see her escape, we will naturally not investigate in depth who opened the room for her..."

"Could this person be Akai Shuichi?"

"Give me the list."

Reaching out and taking the check-in list from his girlfriend's arms, Sakaki Makoto flipped through it quickly, searching at a glance for the name of the guest living on the 27th floor.

No matter which hotel it is, the number of luxury suites must be the least. Scarcity makes things valuable. If you want to sell them at a high price, you must have corresponding value.

Except for the swimming pool, restaurant and gym on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors...

The 4th to 15th floors of Beihu Zunhao Hotel are all king-size and double rooms, the 16th to 22nd floors are business rooms with a higher level of decoration, and above that are luxury suites.

"Let me see, the guests staying on the 27th floor are..."

After flipping through a few pages, Sakaki started looking for the list of guests who stayed in the last month:

"Tanimori Shoji, Tanaka Tori, Haneda Hideyoshi...Haneda?"

Although there are many people with the surname Haneda in Japan, when Sakaki Makoto saw the four words "Haneda Hideyoshi", he couldn't help but think of Haneda Hiroshi.

"Hideyoshi Haneda?"

Miss Miyano glanced at the public television nearby and said:

"He's on TV..."
