Under the midday sun, a taxi slowly stopped at the entrance of Tokyo Hotel. The sharp-eyed waiter saw the guest sitting in the car, immediately smiled, ran up and opened the door:
"Mr. Hashimoto, let me get your bag."
"Well, thank you for your help, Hamada."
The man called Hashimoto was obviously an old customer. He picked up his handbag and walked into the hotel without looking back. The waiter Hamada took the box out of the trunk, paid the fare, and hurried after him.
In order to save guests the embarrassment of having to wait for change, many hotels in Japan require guests to advance their transportation fares and then settle the bill when they check out and pay for their room.
Soon, Hamada delivered Mr. Hashimoto's suitcase to the room and returned to the door to continue his duty. At this time...
The black car driving into the yard caught his attention.
Seeing the black car, Hamada quickly came up with three analyses based on his long professional experience.
1. This is a business car with a Tokyo license plate, rushing to stay at the hotel...
2. Judging from the smoothness of the other car's cornering and meeting, the driver has good driving skills and is preliminarily judged to be a professional driver.
3. There are no car rental company advertisements on the car body, and the paint is smooth and flawless and well-maintained, so it should be a company or private vehicle.
In summary...
Hamada believed that the car was carrying an important client of a large company in Tokyo. The client had come from afar, and the chairman of the company personally ordered that he stay in the best hotel in the city...
There's nothing wrong!
If I do a good job, maybe I can keep a big customer for the hotel. I can't mess it up!
Thinking of this, Hamada checked his instruments, adjusted his hat, and got ready for battle.
When it comes to a waiter's self-cultivation, he has never been afraid of anyone.
The position of lobby manager next year must belong to him!
When the black car stopped, Hamada, who was standing at the door, rushed out instantly, and appeared directly at the back door like a flash. He opened the door attentively, bent down and shouted:
“Welcome to Tokyo Hotel!”
Taking this opportunity, he quietly glanced into the car and saw Miss Miyano in the passenger seat and Makoto Sakaki who looked confused. He thought that this client was indeed not a simple one, as he not only had a driver, but also a secretary!
but...
What he didn't expect was that what he faced next was not the satisfied eyes of the customers, but...
A police handbook with a cherry blossom emblem engraved on it.
"I'm Inspector Ginzo Nakamori of the Second Investigation Division."
Kidd said unsmilingly:
"According to the intelligence received by the police, Kaito Kidd has set his sights on your hotel. I'm here to investigate."
"What?!"
Hamada suddenly opened his eyes wide:
"Kaito Kid is coming to Tokyo Hotel?!"
"That's right."
After getting off the car, Kidd looked around and asked:
"Where's your lobby manager? Go get him!"
“Yes…Yes!”
Hearing the name of Kaito Kidd, Hamada didn't dare to neglect it. If Kaito Kidd targeted the guests staying in the hotel, it would cause a devastating blow to the hotel's reputation. At that time, the mortal enemy hotel would take advantage of the situation to publicize...
Who would still trust the security of their hotel?
After Sakaki parked the car, he and Miss Miyano returned to the hotel and saw the lobby manager and Kidd having a heated conversation.
"Inspector Nakamori, is the news that Kaito Kidd is targeting our hotel credible?"
"I have fought Kaito Kidd countless times and I know his habits very well. How come..."
Kidd looked at the lobby manager with dissatisfaction and asked:
"You don't believe it?"
“No, no, no…”
The lobby manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and stammered:
"But...but if the news is confirmed, why did the police only send three people..."
In the past, whenever Kaito Kid appeared, he would be on the news headlines for three consecutive days, and without exception, the police always ended up failing.
This is nothing new to everyone. If Kidd could be caught so easily, would he still be called a Phantom Thief?
What the lobby manager was worried about was that Nakamori Ginzo would be careless and underestimate the enemy. In the past, it took hundreds of people to catch Kaito Kid, but today, there were only three.
I'm afraid they are looking for Kidd to play mahjong because they are short of 3 people!
"Don't worry!"
Kidd puffed out his chest and said with ease:
"The three of us are just the vanguard. The others are having a meeting in the hall. Kaito Kidd always issues a warning letter before taking action. Have you found anything similar in your hotel?"
Hearing this, the lobby manager called the team leader in charge of sanitation and asked him about it, and got a negative answer.
They hadn't found any notice at all.
If we had discovered it, we would have called the police long ago. Why wait until now?
"Yeah, that's true."
Kid stroked his beard pretentiously and said in the tone of Nakamori Ginzo:
"This is also one of Kaito Kidd's habits. I guess the notice is hidden somewhere in your hotel, and the most likely place is where his target is."
"Last time, the Suzuki Group brought a gem here. Before the news of the exhibition was released, Kidd's notice came out of nowhere. This shows that he is extremely well-informed. We must not underestimate the enemy!"
The lobby manager's heart beat fast when he heard this, and he quickly asked:
"So...what is Kaito Kidd's goal?"
"What else could it be? Gemstones!"
Kidd sneered, as if he had really turned into Nakamori Ginzo:
"Does your hotel have any guests with a little blonde girl?"
"Guest with a little blonde girl..."
The lobby manager was stunned for a moment:
"Inspector Nakamori, our hotel is responsible for keeping guests' information strictly confidential..."
"Even if the other party has been targeted by Kaito Kid, it doesn't matter?"
"this...."
After hesitating for a long time, the lobby manager turned around and went to the front desk, and soon came back with a check-in list.
Seeing this, Sakaki Makoto and Miss Miyano, who were standing at the back, looked at each other, both feeling a little amused.
Kidd's acting is so realistic, I don't know where he got the confidence from, he was so enthusiastic in catching himself, especially imitating Nakamori Ginzo's expression and movements...
It is so lifelike, as if they were carved from the same mold, worthy of being an old rival.
"A month ago, a guest with a little blonde girl booked a deluxe room in our hotel..."
Sitting in the reception area, the lobby manager pushed the check-in list in front of Kidd and said:
"I was quite impressed by these two guests because they rarely showed up after they moved in and paid three months' rent in full at once. They were very generous..."
Those who can book rooms in a 4-star hotel for a long time are all big customers. As a lobby manager, you naturally have to pay more attention to such guests and the service must be exquisite and in place.
"Which room do they live in?"
"Room 2706."
After closing the check-in list, Kidteng stood up and said seriously:
"Take us up to them!"
