Chapter 319 - Conspiracy (1)
Built and managed by a famous hotel chains corporation coming from the west, this Aurora Hotel is considered one of the three most luxurious hotels in this area. The grandeur of this building immediately caught Zhang Qin Feng's attention even before he drove his car into the hotel's entrance.
"Good afternoon, sir." Do you need help with your car?" a young valet attendant came to Zhang Qin Feng after he stepped out from his vehicle. Currently, the car was parked right in front of the Aurora Hotel's grand lobby.
"Here, park my car outside as I'll be leaving quickly. I'll give you a thousand Dongcheng Dollars as tips when I come back." Zhang Qin Feng smiled before dropping his keys in the valet attendant's hand.
"Yes, Sir! Please enjoy your time inside the Aurora Hotel!" the valet attendant bowed and quickly went inside Zhang Qin Feng's car. Although he had no idea if Zhang Qin Feng would honor his promise, the valet attendant still drove his car to the spot reserved only for high-profile VIPs.
In the meantime, Zhang Qin Feng made his way into the grand lobby.. His suave appearance with the sunglasses on him quickly attracted the tourists lingering in the hall.
Zhang Qin Feng soon noticed the electronic door before accessing the lift section. Having no other choice, he's forced to went to the receptionist first.
"Hello, sir. Do you have a reservation with our hotel?" a receptionist greets Zhang Qin Feng the moment he comes to her counter.
"Hello. I'm Captain Zhang from Tianhe Special Squadron. I have an appointment with a guest in room 707. Can you please get the access door for me, please?" Zhang Qin Feng shows her his military ID while removing the sunglasses.
Relying on his sharp gaze, Zhang Qin Feng charmed the receptionist to give him what he wanted without asking him too many questions.
With the key in hand, Zhang Qin Feng accessed the lift and headed to the seventh floor. In that one-minute trip upstairs, Zhang Qin Feng comes up with a few potential circumstances on how he will handle this corrupt representative.
But the moment he arrived on the seventh floor, he was greeted by three males in a set of matching black suits. The one that stands nearest to the lift door had nothing in hand, but the other two had a briefcase in their hand.
"After you." the guy standing in the front politely allowed Zhang Qin Feng to step out of the lift first.
"Thank you," Zhang Qin Feng nodded and went along with it, but not before he captured a few shots using the system's function. In case something happened, these images he captured would be helpful to him.
Furthermore, the suit they're wearing has a signature feature on the collar and wrist, a typical design for apparel from the west.
To avoid all possible suspicion, Zhang Qin Feng chose to make his way towards 721 to 730. He would only make his way back after these people left this seventh floor.
Zhang Qin Feng then turned around and returned to the lift access after half a minute. He was currently on his way towards room 707 after making sure the lift didn't stop on their way down past the fourth floor.
"Why was the room unlocked?" Zhang Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat when he noticed the door wasn't shut properly. A hint of worry quickly appeared in his mind as he immediately put the Carbide Body Armor on him.
In his hand was the Delta-Model Pistol with the safety off.
Zhang Qin Feng then pushes the door open after ensuring the door is not rigged with a booby trap.
He's immediately greeted by the dead, naked representative on the bed. His death is likely due to the slit around his throat reaching one of his main blood vessels.
Judging from the room's neat condition, the killer is probably someone the representative knew.
But here comes the main question. Were all of these pre-arranged before arriving at the hotel? Zhang Qin Feng only took twenty minutes from the District Office to this hotel. And except for the three clerks there, only the Hotel Reception has an idea of his identity.
Even he would find it difficult to arrange everything in less than twenty minutes.
The bell from the lift arriving rang clearly while Zhang Qin Feng was pondering inside the room. It was accompanied by footsteps from multiple individuals as it coming in his direction.
He hates to say this, but Zhang Qin Feng is sure that he fell into his enemies' trap. One after another, Zhang Qin Feng can't help but feel surprised by his opponent's scheming ability.
"Stein, get in touch with Jason Deng immediately." Zhang Qin Feng calmly accessed the situation. At this time, he can only rely on Jason Deng to handle this matter.
"Yes, Boss?" Jason Deng immediately answered after the phone rang twice.
"I was caught in my enemies' trap. Immediately send five Assailant-Class Patrol Ships towards the border between Dongcheng and Marianna's water. Also, get in touch with Yufei and request to speak with Wang Elder and Captain Hu."
"With Yufei as the liaison between you people, they'll believe what you tell them."
When Zhang Qin Feng finished speaking, the people from the lift had kicked the door open and pointed their weapons at Zhang Qin Feng. With a pistol and body armor on him, he won't be able to remove all these suspicions from him.
"Get on the ground and disarm yourself. We would open fire if you tried to resist!" the leading officer warned Zhang Qin Feng.
"Comrades, lower your weapon. I am the acting captain of Tianhe Special Squadron, and this is my Military ID." Zhang Qin Feng dropped the gun on the floor before calmly taking a card from his chest pocket.
He felt like he's been using this card quite frequently today.
But even with the Military ID, Zhang Qin Feng was still forcefully taken away by the armed police with his hands cuffed. And that was not all.
While Zhang Qin Feng was going to the police station, three corpses were found inside the District office.
