Chapter 767 Bloody Rose
Xi Jiu did not hide his possessiveness in this regard at all.
Ruan Qi hadn't originally planned to keep the bouquet of roses. She loved pampering her boyfriend, so she nodded happily, "Okay, I'll listen for a long time. Uncle Hee Hee, take the roses to the first floor and give them to the receptionist."
Xixi responded and left the room holding the roses.
Mo Lan and others stayed to help Ruan Qi pack her luggage.
Ruan Qi had a lot of work to do abroad this time, and she brought a lot of clothes and accessories. It was impossible for Shen Wenqian, Mo Lan and two assistants to organize them all. Seeing that they were busy and dizzy, Ruan Qi simply pulled Xi Jiu to join in.
Several people were busy in the cloakroom when Xi Jiu's cell phone, which was placed on the locker, suddenly rang.
The shrill ringtone was particularly abrupt in the quiet cloakroom. Xi Jiu frowned and picked up the phone.
"Master, something's happened." Xixi's anxious voice came over the phone. "I just delivered roses to the hotel front desk. The staff unwrapped the bouquet and found it was covered in blood. I used Xiaoqi's method to identify it, and it seems to be human blood!"
…
A few minutes later, Ruan Qi, wearing a mask, hurried to the front desk on the first floor of the hotel with several people including Xi Jiu.
The front desk had been roughly cleaned, but Ruan Qi, with her keen sense of smell, still smelled a whiff of blood. The countertop was warm yellow marble, and under the bright light of the crystal chandelier, she could clearly see the bloodstains that had not been cleaned up.
"Xiao Qi, the head of the family." Xixi walked out of the staff lounge on the side of the lobby.
Ruan Qi immediately walked over: "Uncle Xixi, what's the situation? Where are the waiters?"
"I was frightened and was resting in the lounge. The hotel and I have called the police, and they are on their way."
Ruan Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was injured.
"Uncle Heehee, where's the bouquet of flowers?"
"It's in the lobby manager's office. Come with me."
Xixi brought Ruan Qi, Xi Jiu and others to the lobby manager's office.
There were two Xi family bodyguards guarding the office, and the bouquet of roses with the wrapping paper cut was placed on the desk.
Ruan Qi walked over.
As we all know, to keep bouquets fresh, florists often use floral mud or nutrient water to nourish the roots of the flower branches when wrapping them. However, to prevent the nutrient water from flowing out and for aesthetic reasons, florists will tie a ribbon slightly above the base of the flower branches to secure the wrapping paper.
After buying a bouquet of flowers, people usually cut the ribbon with scissors first, or directly make a hole from the bottom of the wrapping paper, and then insert the flower roots into a vase with water, so that the flowers can last longer.
The front desk waiters used the second method and directly cut a hole at the bottom of the bouquet wrapping paper with scissors.
However, he didn't expect that what flowed out of the hole was not transparent nutrient water, but scarlet blood.
Thick, scarlet blood flowed onto the counter, and then, amid the screams of the waiters, Xixi rushed it into the lobby manager's office as quickly as possible.
Everyone can go and try it out. 】
At this time, blood splatter could still be seen around the desk, and several shocking bloodstains were also winding on the desk surface.
The fiery red roses paired with the scarlet blood are extremely eerie.
Ruan Qi stared at the scene for several seconds before lowering her head to the base of the flower and sniffing it carefully.
"It is indeed human blood."
Everyone in the office's expression changed.
Ruan Qi turned to look at Xixi: "Uncle Xixi, you witnessed the whole process of what just happened. Can you roughly calculate how much blood is in this wrapping paper?"
