Bennett heard the voice and looked at Ni Manxing who was blocking his way, feeling a little surprised.
He didn't expect that there were actually people in this hotel.
"Who are you?"
He loosened Feng Jinxuan's collar and looked at Ni Manxing, who also had a Chinese face, with scrutiny in his eyes.
"I'm a traveler here."
Ni Manxing looked at his fierce eyes and spoke calmly.
Feng Jinxuan behind him looked at Ni Manxing who was protecting him with his arms outstretched, lowered his eyes and slowly straightened his clothes that were wrinkled by Bennett.
I'm not embarrassed about relying on women.
"Hello, miss. We are the police. We are here to inquire about a missing person case. Would you be willing to cooperate with the investigation?"
Looking at the tense atmosphere, Kevin stepped forward and patted Bennett on the shoulder with a much gentler attitude.
"sure."
Ni Manxing looked at the ID he presented and nodded quickly.
In order to avoid collusion, Kevin left Ni Manxing in the hall, while Feng Jinxuan and Bennett went to the kitchen.
Although the location is far away, you can see the situation on both sides.
Feng Jinxuan poured a cup of hot water for Ni Manxing when she went over.
"Manxing, don't be nervous. Just answer seriously and everything will be fine."
"Okay, Jinxuan."
Ni Manxing smiled slightly as she looked at Feng Jinxuan who was comforting her.
He had been observing her and Feng Jinxuan's interaction, and seemed to be thinking about the unfamiliarity between the two.
"Miss, would you mind telling me your name?"
Kevin looked at Ni Manxing who was staring at the water cup in front of him with his eyes downcast and asked politely.
"Officer, my name is Ni Manxing."
"Okay Ni Manxing, you can call me Kaven."
Kevin continued, trying to relax Ni Manxing's restraint.
"Okay, Calvin."
Ni Manxing looked at Kavin who was showing goodwill and replied while holding the water cup tightly.
Although she rarely faces the police, she remained calm and did not panic.
"Ni Ni, have you and Mr. Feng known each other before?"
"No, I met him when I came to stay at this hotel."
"So what do you think of Mr. Feng?"
After hearing this, Kevin said again.
"He's a nice guy. Mr. Feng probably knew I was alone, so he tried to avoid me. He rarely comes to my room and always knocks on the door when he delivers food."
"After he found out I had a cold, he thoughtfully sent me some medicine and took good care of me. If it weren't for him, I might still be in a coma with a high fever."
After hearing this, Ni Manxing thought carefully for a while before speaking.
When Kevin heard this, he felt that there was a clue here, so he quickly said.
"Okay, then why did you come to this hotel? From what I heard the weather here hasn't been very good lately."
"Well, I was just passing through. I was planning to take the train, but it was raining heavily that day, so I found a hotel to stay in and planned to leave when the rain stopped."
These questions were all normal, and Ni Manxing's restraint gradually subsided.
When Kevin heard this, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.
Although it has rained heavily in California recently, it does not stop raining.
"Excuse me, how did you catch a cold?"
"If you caught a cold, I think it was from being caught in the rain."
Ni Manxing pursed her lips and thought seriously for a while before speaking.
He did not tell Kevin about his discovery.
"Why haven't you left yet when the rain has stopped these past few days?"
"I had a cold before, so I stayed a few more days."
Upon hearing this, Ni Manxing explained silently without changing his expression.
After hearing this, Kevin saw that her face was still a little pale, but he believed a lot of it.
"Okay, do you know anything about the recent disappearances?"
He saw that Ni Manxing's replies were quite reasonable, so he began to carefully inquire about the case.
"Well, I'm not sure. I rarely follow the news."
Ni Manxing shook his head to hide what he had seen in the hotel.
Feng Jinxuan specifically called her down today, and everything indicated that he must have been prepared.
"So, what date did you come to stay at the hotel?"
Kaven recorded it and asked again.
When Ni Manxing heard this question, he subconsciously recalled his conversation with Feng Jinxuan in the morning.
She tilted her head slightly and thought carefully for a moment before speaking.
"I came here around the night of the 7th. It was raining heavily that day, so I went to a hotel to avoid the rain. Mr. Feng was very nice and even waived my first night's accommodation fee."
Feng Jinxuan, who was far away in the kitchen, listened through the tiny monitor in her ear.
After confirming that Ni Manxing had been fooled, he gave up the idea of killing with a little regret.
I had planned to kill everyone if we were exposed.
What a pity!
He crossed his fingers and lowered his eyes, letting his slightly longer bangs block the bloodthirsty light in his eyes.
Bennett, who had been staring at Feng Jinxuan, saw him suddenly lower his head and slammed the table in anger.
"Feng Jinxuan, why are you lowering your head? Look at me!"
"Officer, I'm just a little nervous. Why are you so excited? You're not trying to force a confession, are you?"
Feng Jinxuan looked at the coffee in the cup on the table, which was shaking. She raised her head calmly and looked directly at Bennett.
Ni Manxing had almost finished asking Kaven questions when he heard some noise in the kitchen.
He watched the two men about to fight again and hurriedly put away the notebook on the table.
"Ms. Ni, these are roughly the questions I want to ask. If you have any new discoveries later, please call me."
He took out a business card from his bag and put it on the table, then went over and pulled Bennett away.
"Fuck, are we just going to leave like this?"
Outside the hotel, Bennett looked at the closed door and felt a little depressed.
"What else? The physical evidence itself is insufficient, not to mention he now has witnesses."
"If you ask me, don't keep staring at him. We've investigated his life experience, and he has an excellent resume. Although he has a somewhat cold personality, he won't get into conflicts with others."
Kavin patted Bennett's shoulder and left first.
"It's because he's so good that people doubt him."
Bennett, who stayed where he was, clenched his fists and left angrily as he watched Feng Jinxuan raise her glass to him through the glass window.
Just wait! He will investigate this little girl when he returns. If she is an accomplice, she will arrest both of them!
Feng Jinxuan stood at the window and watched the police leave, and rarely smiled at Ni Manxing.
"I'm sorry, Manxing, you were questioned by the police because of me."
"It's okay, it's okay. The police are just asking a routine question. We haven't done anything wrong, so there's no need to worry."
Ni Manxing looked at Feng Jinxuan, who rarely smiled, and suddenly realized that he had two different temperaments when he smiled and when he didn't.
When he doesn't smile, he looks a little cold, but when he smiles, he looks very warm.
But she knew that everything was an illusion, and it made no difference whether she smiled or not.
"The sweet soup is almost ready. Please wait downstairs and I'll bring it to you to try."
When Feng Jinxuan heard what Ni Manxing said, her eyebrows curved slightly, and she turned and went to the kitchen in a good mood.
Ni Manxing stood there watching his disappearing figure, his eyes moving around to take in the layout of the hall.
Soon she noticed a wall next to the reception desk covered with photos.
