There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 183
Chapter 183: Chapter 176: Need to Find a New Contact Person Chapter 183: Chapter 176: Need to Find a New Contact Person This code was known only to agents of the Radiant Corps who had undergone special training, so the ergence of this ssage was truly intriguing.
Either soone had infiltrated Section Thirteen, or Section Thirteen had infiltrated our side.
The fact that the other party could announce the death of the contact person also ant they knew they would be conducting the exchange activities in a five-star hotel, and even knew the identity of the contact person.
And just so, a person had died in the hotel.
On the second floor of the hotel, to be precise.
Xu Shuo had switched his room to the second floor not only for the convenience of approaching Room 211 but also to investigate the death that happened so mysteriously at this ti.
But now, this suddenly appeared ssage had made him imdiately abandon the idea.
...
Because the person who left this ssage might not necessarily know he was the spy—it might just be a tentative act of casting a wide net to catch fish.
His just-completed decryption of the code, on the contrary, seed a bit too hasty.
Xu Shuo remained silent for a while, tucked the book under other items in his suitcase, and then took out an older dical book to read.
At this ti, the more actions he took, the more slips there would be.
But if the contact person really had died, he reckoned he would have to find a new contact…
…
Gradually, the evening approached.
The five-star hotel had been on lockdown by the military region for an entire afternoon; people outside couldn’t co in, and those inside certainly couldn’t leave.
Xu Shuo changed his shoes and left the room with his room card.
The twenty soldiers in the hallway were still standing vigilantly, not averting their eyes.
Xu Shuo gave a friendly nod to the soldier guarding the stairwell, not expecting a response, and proceeded to go downstairs.
The lockdown had gone on for too long; people left waiting in the lobby were growing restless again.
But with the two military officers not present, even as they raged at the surrounding soldiers, the soldiers remained as immobile as stakes.
Soone tried to forcibly struggle to open the lobby doors, only to be imdiately stopped by the secretary who commanded soldiers to aim their guns.
After all, the Great General was there to take the fall should anything happen.
Even as they raged and bellowed, none dared to bet whether the guns might go off or not.
Xu Shuo descended the stairs, surveying the lobby.
Many people had co out of their rooms at this hour, after all, the second floor had been searched thoroughly, and so people couldn’t stay put in their rooms.
Furthermore, so guests who had been roughed up during the search couldn’t wait to co out and vent their rage.
Their surroundings held a mix of sympathy, mockery, and apprehension.
After descending the stairs to the right, Xu Shuo directly went to a table on the right side of the lobby, where many guests had gathered, and he overheard the voices of several socialites discussing and complaining.
He looked towards the kitchen and motioned there.
The male waiter who was guarding the entrance to the kitchen and watching this way was montarily startled, then quickly walked over.
“Sir, you…”
Xu Shuo gestured to the nu in his hand.
The male waiter quickly passed the nu to him.
Xu Shuo opened the nu, ordered a few dishes at random, and then said, “In the end, bring a cup of coffee, and I hope this ti you can be quick.”
The male waiter: “…”
He smiled awkwardly but politely, “Of course sir, also due to today’s special circumstances, all drinks and food in the hotel are free of charge, so you don’t need to pay anything extra.”
Xu Shuo nodded in acknowledgnt, then opened the dical book he had brought down to read.
He flipped to a page filled with many horizontal lines and annotations.
The male waiter glanced at it briefly when taking back the nu, feeling that the dense dical knowledge was harder to study than his biology textbook.
He had no idea how they could digest such material.
The male waiter went back to report, then continued to stand at the kitchen entrance, surveying everyone in the lobby, sighing to himself.
He still hadn’t identified his mission target.
Just now, making use of his waiter identity, he had managed to interact with quite a few guests.
Then, he felt that every person present could potentially be his target…
The five-star hotel, though luxuriously decorated and famous in Section Thirteen, has only thirty-six rooms, yet the number of guests in the hotel had nearly reached a hundred.
Half of the guests lingering in the lobby, a considerable number scattered in booths.
Among them, half were businessn, and the other half was political elites.
The male waiter’s mission target could be narrowed down to businessn, but what if a businessman posed as an elite?
So no matter how he looked, he felt everyone here was a target…
…
Now, these influential figures who could neither leave nor resist could only engage in random conversations, complaining about the military region to pass the ti.
Most people ca to Section Thirteen at this ti to participate in the social season, to et more higher-ups, so they were willing to initiate conversations with practically anyone.
Everyone was a person of status and even if there were no opportunities for cooperation, getting to know a few more people wouldn’t hurt.
“Oh?
Sir, are you a doctor?”
Finally, a richly dressed woman sitting in the booth next door seed to have noticed Xu Shuo, turned her head toward the dical book in his hand, and asked.
Xu Shuo put on a mild smile, nodding in confirmation, “That’s right.”
The woman’s eyes lit up and she leaned in to continue, “Is that Ancient dicine?
My husband also studies Ancient dicine, and we’ve co to Section Thirteen hoping to et more doctors.”
Xu Shuo showed a slightly surprised expression, “After all, there are really few doctors who specialize in Ancient dicine nowadays.
I ca here actually also in the hope of eting more fellow enthusiasts.”
