No one expected that while a birthday party was being held downstairs, a murder would occur upstairs.
Sometimes, the ugliness of human nature is like this: some people may appear handsome and humble, but you would never expect them to commit murder and arson in private.

Five minutes after Kim Hee led Lee Meng-mi down the emergency exit, avoiding everyone's gaze.
In room 203 on the second floor, flames had already reached the curtains. In an instant, a fire was about to break out, and thick, choking smoke rose up in bursts, completely engulfing the entire room.
The only sound in the air was the rustling of the burning bed boards.
...
At the hotel entrance, the waiters watched as suspicious smoke drifted out of a second-floor room window. They exchanged glances, sensing that something was seriously wrong.
They ran quickly into the hotel, one of them talking to his colleague on a walkie-talkie.
"Something terrible has happened! It seems like room 203 upstairs is on fire!"
"Quickly, send people up to put out the fire."
At the birthday party, the celebrities watched as several waiters rushed in from the hotel entrance, their faces showing anxiety, as if something had happened.
"What's wrong?"
"Yes, what happened?"
The group of people looked at each other, none of them knowing what had happened, so everyone was filled with doubt.
Luo Nancheng was talking to Director Li when he noticed a commotion around him. He instinctively looked up and glanced around the hall.
I haven't seen Yinshuang for ages since we parted ways in the garage last night.
Frowning, Luo Nancheng didn't know why, but his heart was beating very fast for no reason.
The next second he saw Li Mengmei walking towards him arm in arm with Jin Xi, and he seized the opportunity to immediately ask, "Jin Xi, where's Yin Shuang?"
That day, Li Mengmei went to see Yin Shuang and asked her to leave S City. Why would she let Jin Xi invite her to the birthday party tonight?
Now that he had thought it through, Luo Nancheng's delicate brows furrowed even more tightly.
The worst-case scenario is that Jin Xi invited her over with ill intentions.
Although I don't know how Luo Nancheng met Yinshuang, I hear that he is looking for that woman.
Li Mengmei was already flustered, and now her face turned pale. She blurted out, "She's in..."
"Senior Luo, what are you saying? Yinshuang has her own hands and feet. How would I know where she went?"
Before Li Mengmei could finish speaking, Jin Xi interrupted her.
Noticing this, Luo Nancheng narrowed his long, narrow eyes. "Really? You really didn't know?"
He sneered, "You're the one who invited her, so if anything happens to her, you'll have to take some responsibility."
At this moment, Luo Nancheng's sharp and cold gaze was fixed on Jin Xi's face. He was probably really angry. The man, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, exuded a terrifying aura.
Stared at like that, Kim Hee pursed her lips and began to feel a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Director Li came up at that moment. Noticing the awkward atmosphere between them, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Kim Hee smiled gently as before, "It's nothing."

The news of the fire in room 203 eventually reached the downstairs neighbors.
Immediately, the hotel dispatched a large number of bodyguards to put out the fire.
Because Kim Hee also booked the second floor tonight, each celebrity attending the birthday party has a private room provided for them to rest.
So the most important thing now is to check whether anyone went into the room when the fire occurred.
