drop!
The lobby manager swiped his ID card and pressed the 27th floor button. The elevator door slowly closed and began to move upwards.
As a 4-star hotel with comprehensive security measures, you cannot take the elevator without a room card. Even the security passages are guarded by dedicated personnel to ensure that guests staying in the hotel are safe.
but...
There will always be some who slip through the net, such as Sakaki Makoto and his two companions who were in the elevator with the lobby manager. They used special means to sneak into the hotel.
They didn't expect things to go so smoothly. They disguised themselves as policemen, threw out the name of Kaito Kid, and immediately got the list of people staying in the hotel. They even found the trace of Akai Mary...
Sometimes, behind everything going too smoothly, there is often a dark abyss hidden.
Sakaki Makoto stared at the numbers that kept jumping, and for no reason, a sense of anxiety arose in his heart, as if what was waiting for them on the 27th floor was not the real answer.
But the elevator was speeding up and didn't give him much time to think. About a minute later, the elevator stopped on the 27th floor with a ding.
The elevator door opened to both sides, revealing the soft red wool carpet. The spacious corridor was silent and empty.
“The 27th floor is all presidential suites, and there aren’t many guests staying there usually…”
While introducing the hotel, the lobby manager led Sakaki Makoto and the other two to the right.
There are only 8 guest rooms on the entire 27th floor, 4 on each side, and the doors are more than ten meters apart. You can imagine how luxurious it is inside.
“This is it.”
Standing at the door of room 2706, the lobby manager ignored the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door handle and pressed the doorbell twice. When no one responded, he simply knocked on the door:
"Ms. Akai, Ms. Akai, are you there?"
"Strange... they don't seem to be in the room."
"Open the door."
Sakaki Makoto suddenly said.
"ah?"
The lobby manager turned his head to look at the strange policeman, then looked at Kidd.
"Listen to him and open the door."
Hearing that the police captain agreed to open the door, the lobby manager didn't say much. He took out the universal room card and swiped it to open the door with a "beep".
Crystal vases, glass coffee tables, hand-sewn off-white sofas, floor-to-ceiling windows that extend from the ceiling to the floor, through which you can directly see the Tokyo Tower across the street...
The luxurious decoration tells us how expensive this presidential suite is.
However...
The room was empty, disposable slippers were neatly placed in the shoe cabinet, the mattress was neatly made, and even the drain hole in the bathroom had no hair left.
Presidential Suite No. 2706 has no atmosphere of life at all.
Sakaki Makoto's heart skipped a beat, he rushed into the room and began to check around.
On the other side, Miss Miyano was already asking the lobby manager a variety of questions:
"How many times have you seen guests staying here since this guest room was rented out?"
"Once or twice..."
The lobby manager recalled:
"I heard from the cleaning lady that the guests staying in room 2706 did not need her to clean the room. There was a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the room and no one was needed to deliver meals. I thought they didn't want to be disturbed, so I didn't bother them."
Miss Miyano and Kidd obviously realized something. Their faces became solemn and they fell silent.
"Inspector Nakamori, where is the invitation letter from Kaito Kidd?"
The lobby manager insisted:
"You must catch him, otherwise it will affect the reputation of our hotel!"
"oh."
Kidd nodded, walked around the kitchen, took out a white invitation from his pocket, and waved it in front of the lobby manager:
"Did you see it clearly?"
"See clearly, see clearly..."
After recognizing the invitation letter, the lobby manager finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least Kaito Kidd had really been here. Even if something went wrong in the future, he would have a reason not to do so!
Sakaki opened the closet one by one, lifted the quilt, explored the kitchen, and finally...
On the back of the sofa in the living room, I found a small black box with red dots flashing constantly.
Bug.
This room is just a decoy!
Akai Mary is so smart, she used herself as bait, installed a bug in the guest room, and hid somewhere else to monitor, so...
As long as someone enters this room, she will know her position has been exposed and move quickly.
Sakaki Makoto did not remove the bug, but stood up and walked to the door, patting Kidd on the shoulder:
"I'm leaving."
Under the watchful eyes of the lobby manager, the three hurried out of the room and took the elevator to leave the hotel (no room card was needed to go downstairs).
"It's a trap."
Back in the car, Sakaki Makoto stared at the hotel entrance and said with a grim expression:
"Akai Mari isn't even here! This is a trap!"
"She installed a bug in the room. If anyone finds her by investigating the taxi company, she will be the first to receive the news!"
Compared to other agents, Akai Mary's professionalism is truly amazing. She knows how to counter-track. All the loopholes are left intentionally, just to...
Attract interested people to appear.
If nothing unexpected happens, Sakaki Makoto and the other two have already exposed their intentions, and it will be difficult to find Akai Mary next time.
"The game has become more interesting..."
Kidd took off his mask, revealing his true face, with a hint of excitement in his tone:
"This is what a secret agent looks like. It's challenging..."
Sakaki Makoto looked back at Kidd. There was something he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
As early as the first time he met Kidd and after they started working together, he felt that Kidd seemed to be very indifferent to the Black Organization, or even a little contemptuous and looked down on them.
The reason I've been helping him is just for fun.
It’s just like the gods in classical mythology traveling around the world and experiencing life.
But it doesn't matter. Kid has always been a carefree person, and Sakaki Makoto is used to it.
"There are two more hotels next, namely Tokyo Princess Tower and Haido Grand Hotel..."
Sakaki took out the map and looked at it, then said:
"She's not far from us. Akai Mari must be hiding in one of the hotels. Now that we've been discovered, we must hurry up and stop her before she leaves!"
"Then it becomes even more important which hotel to go to next."
Miss Miyano pursed her lips:
"Choose 1 from 2, what should I do?"
"Oh, let's split up!"
Kidd suggested:
"I'll go to Tokyo Princess Tower, and you guys go to the Beido Grand Hotel. We'll definitely be able to stop Akai Mary!"
Time is running out, and this is indeed the best way at the moment. Sakaki Makoto nodded in agreement. Kidd immediately pushed the door and got out of the car, hailed a taxi, and drove towards the Tokyo Princess Tower Hotel.
At the same time, Sakaki Makoto shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel left, and the engine roared with huge power. The rear end of the car swung in a perfect arc and sped out of the yard.
