It’s exactly 3:00 PM, which is the afternoon tea time.
In the president's office of the Tokiwa Group, Mio Tokiwa, wearing a dark purple casual suit, is sitting on a leather sofa enjoying her favorite distilled coffee. On a Central European-style plate is placed an exquisite and delicious Sacher cake. This cake is not to be missed for chocolate lovers and is also Mio Tokiwa's favorite dessert.
She picked up the dessert fork, cut the Sachertorte into small pieces and put them into her mouth. The dense chocolate cake was paired with the apricot jam in the middle, and the perfect fusion made the sweetness become refreshing.
After enjoying the sweet but not greasy cake, take a sip of espresso to successfully lock the rich taste in your taste buds. The perfect afternoon tea combination can make subsequent office work easy and enjoyable.
But this good mood did not last long, as it was broken by the president's secretary who rushed into the president's office without even knocking.
Sawaguchi Chinami, the president's secretary, stumbled into the president's office, nearly knocking over the expensive vase at the door. She gasped in shock, but realizing the gravity of the situation, she quickly shouted to the president, Tokiwa Mio:
"President Tokiwa! Something terrible has happened!
”
Tokiwa Mio looked at Sawaguchi Chinami with a stern face and started to scold her:
"Sawaguchi, I've told you many times, right? You should knock before entering the president's office. Why are you so reckless? If I were here to discuss business with an important client, you would be able to save…"
"I'm sorry, President, but this is a serious matter. There's been an incident at the Tokiwa Hotel, and two officers from the Metropolitan Police Department are trying to retrieve the surveillance footage." Sawaguchi Chinami didn't bother interrupting the president's rant, as it was considered rude. She hesitantly finished the rest of her sentence, "Mr. Arakawa said it might be... someone involved in the prostitution business at the hotel."
Flesh trade.
Tokiwa Mio couldn't sit still anymore after hearing this. She put down her dessert fork and said seriously:
"Zawaguchi, prepare a car and go to the hotel immediately. This is no small matter. Have Arakawa show the surveillance video to the police first."
"Yes, President!"
While riding the elevator, Mio Tokiwa took out her cell phone and checked her address book. She wanted to contact the detective from Nishitama Police Station, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea.
She hadn't done anything illegal, and using her connections at this time would only leave a bad impression on the Metropolitan Police Department. It would be better for her to go in person and fully cooperate with the investigation.
I hope it’s not a big deal and won’t affect the opening of the twin towers next year.
——
The Tokiwa Hotel's surveillance room is located on the third floor. Due to the hotel's numerous public areas, it has numerous surveillance cameras. However, to ensure the privacy of guests, no cameras are installed in the hallways surrounding the hotel rooms. Instead, a single camera is installed at the elevator entrance, capturing footage of people entering and exiting the elevator.
With the assistance of the hotel technicians, they easily retrieved the surveillance video of the hotel lobby yesterday and played it at eight times the speed. Everyone's eyes were focused on the display screen.
An hour of surveillance footage was compressed into seven minutes and thirty seconds. Watching it at this speed for extended periods of time naturally caused visual fatigue. With the exception of Fujiwara Yuu and Matsuda Jinpei, the others couldn't stand it after just a few moments, and they all had a certain admiration for the police's professionalism.
Nearly forty minutes later, a girl wearing a beige cardigan appeared on the surveillance footage. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, her height, body shape and clothing matched that of Chie Matsuoka, who committed suicide.
"Stop! Adjust the video to normal playback speed and rewind twenty seconds!" Matsuda Jinpei immediately gave instructions to the technicians. At this time, he could not bear the discomfort conveyed by his eyes, so he closed his eyes and gently pressed his eyelids with his fingers.
After counting a few numbers in his mind, Matsuda Jinpei opened his eyes again and looked at the surveillance screen carefully. On the screen, Matsuoka Chie did not go to the hotel front desk, but walked straight towards the elevator.
"No wonder the front desk had no idea she checked in using her own ID." Fujiwara Yuu squinted at the surveillance footage. He rubbed his eye, feeling the discomfort, then looked at Matsuda and said, "We can confirm that she got the room card before arriving at the hotel. This is helpful for us."
"Well, let's watch a few more days of surveillance video... By the way, don't forget to check who has checked into the hotel in the past few days." Matsuda Jinpei nodded with his eyes closed. He felt that after investigating this case, his eyes would need to be returned to the factory for repairs.
Security guard Arakawa was also very smart after hearing this. Without getting the police's authorization, he quickly ran out of the monitoring room and took the elevator to the front desk to look for the hotel check-in book that Watanabe had borrowed in recent months.
He quickly returned to the monitoring room door with the registration book, but unexpectedly met an unexpected person.
The woman standing in front of the monitoring room door and adjusting her clothes was none other than Tokiwa Mio, the president of Tokiwa Group. After receiving the news, she rushed here as quickly as possible. In order to leave a good impression on the police, she even did not forget to put on her lipstick.
"President Tokiwa, do you want to come in?" Arakawa stepped forward politely and asked.
Tokiwa Mio glanced at Arakawa and noticed what he was holding in his hands:
"You are that Arakawa, right? Are you going to give this thing in your hand to the police inside?"
"Yes, the police want to check the hotel occupancy information in recent months, so I brought the registration book." Arakawa reported truthfully. He was still a little afraid of Tokiwa Mio in his heart. He had seen her scolding employees before.
Tokiwa Mio rolled her eyes, spread her hands, and said:
