Zhan Showa Bai Yutang enters the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel.

The interior decoration of this hotel is pretty good. There are three receptionists at the front desk of the lobby and several waiters in uniform. The sofas in the lobby are empty and no guest sees it...

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang exchanged glances. For their investigation, the more depressed the business of this hotel is, the fewer residents, the better.

When they walked to the front desk, Zhan Showa Bai Yutang showed their ID.

The front desk staff immediately found the lobby manager.

The lobby manager's surname was Wang. After seeing the documents of the two, he didn't panic and asked, "Are the two police officers here to investigate or arrest people? We will cooperate with them with all our strength."

Bai Yutang waved his hand and signaled that he didn't have to be nervous.

Zhan Zhao gave the front desk nurse Jin's phone number and credit card number to book the hotel, and asked if he had booked a room here.

After checking at the front desk, the results were beyond the expectations of both of them.

Nurse Jin booked a room with a phone number of 2507, while Mark Fan booked two rooms with a credit card number of 2507 and 2603. The names registered by the occupants were Li Feng.

The front desk told Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang that the resident had lived in 2507 before, but later asked to change to 2603.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Why change the house?"

Manager Wang explained, "That's right. Because our hotel is located in a remote location, most of the people who come here are group customers, and there are very few individual customers who come here alone. The 24th floor and below the hotel are group guests, and the 25th floor and above are individual customers. This 2507 guest originally checked in first, but later a large group of more than 200 people came. The 24th floor could not be arranged, so we arranged to the 25th floor. The 2507 guest complained that it was noisy to open a party at night, so we adjusted it to 2603 for him. Due to system problems, the room could not be adjusted directly, so we had to return and register first. As a result, we booked two rooms. Because the documents were the same, the guest asked to change the phone number and register, and we had no objection."

After listening, Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang also felt that this matter seemed normal but also seemed a bit suspicious.

"Is anyone living in 2507 now?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"No, it's still empty."

“2603 people are still living?”

"right."

Zhan Zhao took out his cell phone, clicked out Mark Fan's photo for everyone to recognize, and asked if he had ever seen such a guest.

Several front desk and lobby managers looked carefully, and finally shook their heads and said they had no impression.

"You can ask the elevator waiter to help me recognize it."

The lobby manager said, and took Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao to the elevator.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were quite puzzled - these days, could it be like the past, there is a special elevator button press in the elevator?

But when I arrived, I found that the elevator in this hotel was a bit special.

There are thirty floors in this hotel. There is an independent elevator next to the lobby. Five elevators are in charge of different floors. There is a male waiter standing in the elevator. As long as the guest comes and tells him which floor to go, he will press the elevator for you. If you take the elevator he designated for you, you will be able to reach the floor you think of.

The reason why a waiter was specially arranged here is because the elevator system of this hotel is a bit complicated.

First of all, elevators No. 1-4, each elevator is responsible for six floors, that is, floors 1-24 take these four elevators.

Elevator No. 1-6th floor.

Elevator No. 2 7-12.

Elevator No. 3, 13-18.

Elevator No. 4 19-24

Elevator No. 5 only reaches the 25th floor.

The reason for this operation is that on the 26th and above floors, you need to go to the 25th floor first, then pass through a long corridor, and take two other elevators. The two elevators are from the 26th floor to the top floor.

It seemed that I felt Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's a little suffocating expression. The lobby manager was also embarrassed. He said that something was wrong during the construction of the hotel and had to solve it like this.

Zhan Zhao took out his cell phone again and asked the waiter in the elevator if he had ever seen Mark Fan.

The waiter looked carefully for a while, but wasn't sure.

"Because the elevator number is not too difficult to remember, usually only the first time guests here will ask me to help me press it. Those who have already settled and those who have been here know which elevator they should take."

Zhan Zhao thought about it and asked, "This person arrives between 3:00 and 4:00 pm every Tuesday and Thursday, and holds a bouquet of roses in his hand..."

"oh!"

Hearing this, the lobby manager and the elevator waiter shouted, "He! Remember!"

But after they said that, they both leaned over and looked at the photo carefully, saying that the man didn't seem to be like this... the man had a beard.

"We all remember this person. He will arrive at around three o'clock every time and leave around six o'clock in the afternoon. Because he always comes with a bouquet of roses, we all think he is here to date his lover." The manager said and said that this situation is quite common, but those who date in hotels are generally low-key. He always holds flowers and is very conspicuous and is a bit unique.

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang was puzzled and asked, "What time do you think he will stay?"

"It's usually around six or seven o'clock, sometimes later," the manager replied.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - it was no, the nurse said that Mark Fan went out at three o'clock every day and went back to the clinic for treatment at four o'clock... What's going on? Could it be that there was one more?

"Did he come yesterday?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Here you come." The elevator waiter remembered.

"When did he leave?"

The administrator thought for a while and asked the manager, "Did you see him come out?"

"No," the manager shook his head and called two more front desks.

The two front desks said, "Mr. Rose" went in yesterday but didn't come out. They joked privately, "I insisted on sending so many smallpoxes, and I can finally stay for the night."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao also didn't understand - Mark Fan went in and did not come out, where did Mark Fan die in the clinic?

"Which floor does he usually go to?" Zhan Zhao asked.

“Floor 25.” The waiter replied.

"Do you know which room he went to?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The elevatorman shook his head and said, "It's not clear."

According to the distribution of the hotel elevator, sitting on the 25th floor means that he may go to any room on the top floor of 25th.

"Bai Yutang signaled that you should go to 2603 first, then check the surveillance to determine what Mark Fan is doing."

The lobby manager accompanied them up there.

The elevator stopped on the 25th floor.

Walk out of the elevator and there is a thick carpet on the ground.

Because there are many people entering and leaving the hotel, in order not to disturb residents' rest, most hotels have thick carpets in the aisles.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed the manager to cross the aisle and exit the elevator. From the right side is room 1-10, and from the left side is room 11-20.

When you reach the end of the corridor, there are two other elevators.

Bai Yutang just checked the stairs on both sides and found that there were many stairwells in the hotel, and there were two safety exits next to the elevators on both sides. In other words, there were four stairwells in a building in total, and these four stairwells can reach the basement and top floor.

On both sides of the elevator on the 1st to 25th floors, there are two stairs that can lead to any floor.

26-There are two stairs on both sides of the elevator on the top floor that can lead to any floor.

Zhan Showa Bai Yutang still chose to take the elevator to 26.

After exiting 26, the room number is exactly opposite to the 25th floor. The left hand side is 1-10 and the right hand side is 11-20.

In other words...

When they walked to the door of Room 2603, Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang found that the room was actually just above 2507.

On the one hand, I sighed that the designer of this building is a logical genius. On the other hand, Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang asked the manager, "Did you change this room randomly or did the guests request?"

The manager said that the customer asked to change this room because the room type is exactly the same, so the price is the same, making it easier to change.

The manager said, raising his hand and looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, as if asking - are you going to knock on the door?

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang nodded.

The manager knocked on the door.

The three of them waited for a while, but no one responded.

The manager knocked on the door louder.

After waiting for a while, there was still no response.

There is no sign "Do not disturb" on the door handle, but a green light is on at the door, indicating that there is someone in the room and the door is locked from the inside.

"Mr. Li!"

The manager slapped the door a few louder and shouted a few more times.

Still no one agreed.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.

At this moment, the door of the next 2604 suddenly opened.

In the room, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and holding a cigarette looked out and looked at it. The man's messy hair looked a little greasy. He looked like he hadn't taken a shower for a week. His two big dark circles seemed to have a serious lack of sleep.

The man stared at the three people at the door for a while, said "hehe", with two fingers holding cigarettes, pointed to the door of 2603 next door, and said sinisterly, "The man inside may be dead."
