C1607 Monitoring Video
I immediately decided. "Aiguo, go to the hotel's security department and check the surveillance footage."
"Alright, I'll go now!" Faang Aiguo agreed.
"To achieve the purpose of both recording and not revealing his identity." "No," I said.
"No problem, I have a plan!" Faang Aiguo said.
"I'm in Zhang Mei's room. Check the surveillance footage while the rest of you continue to scout. Meet me here later!" "No," I said.
"Yes!"
Putting down my phone, I lit up a cigarette, took two deep puffs, and continued my analysis.
It was as if Zhang Mei had been targeted the moment she arrived at Hsinghai.
It was as if Zhang Mei, who hadn't even reached the Hsinghai yet, had been noticed the moment the Golden Triangle set off.
If that's the case, then it's obvious that this is an event that was planned long ago. The conspirators have a plan and a plan to carry it out, they'll definitely think of the method we'll use when we find Zhang Mei missing, and even the conspirators will think that I'll take the initiative to contact him or bring someone to get her.
If he thought so, would the surveillance footage reveal anything of value? Then do I need to find Wu De right now?
Zhang Mei and Wu De were no strangers to each other. A few years ago, before Snowy was born, Zhang Mei and Lee Shun had known each other when they were still in love. It was just that they had not seen each other for many years.
If it was Wu De who kidnapped Zhang Mei, then what was his purpose? Threatening Lee Shun? Take revenge on Lee Shun?
If he threatened Lee Shun, then Zhang Mei's life would not be in danger for the time being. If he took revenge on Lee Shun, then the result would be terrible. He would kill Zhang Mei.
According to Wu De's personality, which of these two possibilities was more likely?
As I thought about it, I felt that the latter possibility was less likely. Revenge would only give vent to one moment of anger, and would not have any effect. Instead, it would arouse even greater hatred. And threatening Zhang Mei as a hostage to Lee Shun seemed to be the better choice.
Wu De was a smart person. He knew that if they started a massacre, Lee Shun would return the favor. Since Lee Shun and Wu De had been together for so many years, he naturally knew the whereabouts of Wu De's family.
Also, if Wu De wanted to take revenge on Lee Shun, there was no need to go for Zhang Mei at all. The Hsinghai consisted of Lee Shun's parents, Qiu Tong and Xiao Xue.
However, if that was the case, even if they were threatening Lee Shun, Wu De didn't need to do anything to Zhang Mei. Wasn't Lee Shun's parents Qiu Tong and Xiaoxue better hostages?
So, what was Wu De's purpose in kidnapping Zhang Mei? I frowned. Could it be that Zhang Mei's disappearance wasn't a kidnapping? Could it be that Zhang Mei's disappearance had nothing to do with Wu De?
Thinking this way, my thoughts became a little messy, and I was unable to get a good idea of what was going on.
After a while, Faang Aiguo and the others came back.
"There was only one guy on duty in the hotel's surveillance room. I gave him a few old heads and told him that I had dropped a valuable item. I wanted to watch the recording of the restaurant, so he happily agreed." Faang Aiguo said: "I carefully checked the surveillance footage for that period and didn't find anything abnormal. In the video, Sister Zhang left our dining room and went to the bathroom alone.
Then, about five minutes later, she came out. She didn't go back to our room, but went straight down the hall. I went back to watching the footage from the other parts of the house. Sister Zhang went straight down the stairs and walked through the lobby and out the door. "
"And then?" I looked at Faang Aiguo.
"Then I watched the video camera at the entrance of the hotel. I saw Sister Zhang walk directly across the road after she left the hotel, then walk to the left along the road. Then she left the monitoring area and disappeared." Faang Aiguo said.
"Going down the road to the left, just her?" "No," I said.
Faang Aiguo blinked, "I remember, there's one more person."
"Who is it?" I pressed.
"When Sister Zhang went into the bathroom, a woman also went in. The woman in black was wearing a mask, so her face couldn't be seen clearly. Later, when Sister Zhang came out, she also came out. She walked in the same direction as Sister Zhang, keeping about 20 meters between the front and back of the hotel. I also walked along the road to the left. " Faang Aiguo said.
The woman in black? Woman?
So Zhang Mei wasn't kidnapped, she left the hotel on her own accord.
This mysterious woman in black must have had something to do with Zhang Mei's departure, I decided immediately.
Who is this woman? Why do you need to contact Zhang Mei like a ghost? Why would Zhang Mei listen to her? Since they weren't forced to leave, why didn't Zhang Mei greet us before she left? My head was full of mysteries.
"Who is this woman in black?" I murmured.
Faang Aiguo and the others looked at me without saying a word.
I looked at Faang Aiguo and the others. "What do you guys think?"
"Could it be that this woman in black is an acquaintance of Sister Zhang? Sister Zhang met an acquaintance of hers, was invited, and then went out to reminisce with her?" Faang Aiguo said, "But, if it's really like that, then Sister Zhang must say hello to us before she leaves. Also, reminiscing doesn't necessarily mean that we have to leave the hotel, and the two even act as if they don't know each other. If they are acquaintances, then we should talk and go together."
"I originally thought that Sister Zhang had been kidnapped, but now it doesn't seem like it. "In other words, Sister Zhang's safety shouldn't be a problem, right?" Yang Xinhua said.
"It's hard to say. Maybe it's a conspiracy or a strategy. Think of a way to get Sister Zhang out of our sight, get rid of us, and then make a move?" Zhou Dajun said.
"No matter what, it is not safe for Sister Zhang to lose contact with us. We have to find Sister Zhang as soon as possible, otherwise we cannot explain to the commander in chief. We are dereliction of duty." Du Jianguo said.
In a hotel environment, if someone wants to kidnap Sister Zhang, of course they can't do it by force, that would be too stupid, and it wouldn't work, ah, I think what Dajun said is reasonable, the woman in black must have said something to Sister Zhang, seduced Sister Zhang, and then, Sister Zhang followed her and left, and she didn't even greet us when she left, as if she intentionally wanted to avoid us. After leaving our protection, Sister Zhang's safety is indeed an unknown. " Faang Aiguo said again.
Everyone expressed their views one after another. The general idea was that even though Zhang Mei wasn't kidnapped by force, her safety was still not guaranteed. She was even in an even more dangerous situation.
The atmosphere in the room was tense, and everyone looked uneasy.
I understand their feelings.
I stood up. "Patriotism, take me to the control room. Dajun, Jianguo, Xinhua, go back immediately and get your weapons.
"Yes — —" Zhou Dajun, Du Jianguo and Yang Xinhua promised to leave.
Faang Aiguo and I went to the hotel's surveillance room. There was only one guy in the control room. He saw us coming in and said to Faang Aiguo, "Hey, why are you here again?"
"Hur hur. I didn't see it clearly just now. Faang Aiguo said with a smile.
"You all … "You can't always be like this, it's not appropriate. If my superior finds out, I will be found out."
The young man stopped before he finished speaking because Faang Aiguo took out a stack of tickets and waved it in front of his eyes.
The guy's eyes lit up. He took the money and stopped talking. However, he still looked strangely at Faang Aiguo and me.
Then Faang Aiguo and I sat in front of the monitor and Faang Aiguo began to play the video back.
Then I saw the woman in black with the mask. I looked back and forth at the part where she had appeared in the camera, at her figure and the way she walked, and for a long time I looked away from any woman I knew.
Who was this woman in black? Could it really be the little sister that Zhang Mei knew? Did he really ask Zhang Mei out to reminisce about the old days? Was this just a coincidence?
I immediately rejected the possibility of coincidences. The probability was too small. Also, if it was by chance, the first woman would not wear a mask, and the air of Hsinghai did not have any haze, so what kind of mask would she wear? Secondly, if it was a coincidence, she wouldn't have left Zhang Mei at such a distance. Thirdly, if it was a chance meeting between acquaintances, Zhang Mei would greet us when she left, as if Zhang Mei's non-greeting must have had something to do with this woman.
Thus, this woman in black must have some background. She must have come to look for Zhang Mei, to get her out of our sight. In fact, this woman in black was not even one of Zhang Mei's acquaintances.
Then, what did this woman in black say to Zhang Mei to make her leave obediently without even fighting with us? Where had she taken Zhang Mei? What was her intention in taking Zhang Mei? Was she just a private person or was she just a pawn with someone directing her from behind? If so, who could it be?
I couldn't help but think of Wu De.
It seemed that Wu De was the only one who could do anything against Zhang Mei in the Hsinghai. I couldn't think of anyone else who could.
Although it seems like I have slowly analyzed the situation, I am still not sure. Maybe it's because I really don't want to be sure, because I subconsciously feel a kind of fear towards Wu De. I want to deceive myself into thinking that this has nothing to do with Wu De.1
But my self-deception can not deceive my heart, more and more reasons show that this matter really does not seem to be related to Wu De.
Leaving the hotel's control room, Faang Aiguo and I returned to the hotel suite and sat on the sofa outside, staring at each other.
"Brother Yi." Faang Aiguo looked at me carefully and said in a probing tone, "Look. Should we report this matter to the headquarters to the commander in chief? "
I took a long drag on my cigarette. "What do you think?"
"I'll listen to you." Faang Aiguo said.
"Why are you listening to me now? Weren't you always reporting to the headquarters without even greeting me before? " "No," I said.
Faang Aiguo looked a bit embarrassed as he muttered: "That's the orders from the headquarters, I can't do anything about it. This time, it is very serious, and we are going through it together, so I must ask your permission. "
Seeing Faang Aiguo's awkward expression, I patted his shoulder: "Alright, I understand." I don't think we need to report this to headquarters.
"Wait? When? "It's extremely urgent now." Faang Aiguo said.
"When I think it necessary to report to headquarters," I said, "what? "Do you have any objections?"
"No, I'll listen to you." Faang Aiguo said worriedly.
I went on smoking and thinking.
"Haven't you and Zhang Mei seen any suspicious people or incidents in the past few days?" I asked Faang Aiguo.
Faang Aiguo thought about it and shook his head, "No." We were always on high alert. Except for Sister Zhang sleeping and going to the toilet, we had been following her every step of the way. But, we really didn't notice anything. There's really no one that's suspicious at all. "
"I think it's not that you guys haven't noticed, it's just that their methods are more hidden and better. You guys are in the open, I'm in the dark, and you guys have come prepared!" "No," I said.
Faang Aiguo did not say anything, and his face showed a bit of shame.
