Volume 1: First Arrival Chapter 057 Strolling in the Garden
For a very, very brief moment, Callum was a little confused.
Should he stay here and continue to guard the suspects to prevent them from escaping; or should he follow Kirk and go to find the key to the case?
In a flash, Callum had the answer:
Ms. Martinez and her minions must have been so sure that Kirk couldn't find the body that they didn't run away and even confronted them.
Even now, they are still unable to arrest the suspects due to the lack of key evidence, and the bodies are the top priority.
The point is, did Kirk really know where the body was hidden, or was the real purpose of his sudden action to create chaos a hook, either to create instability and cause division within Ms. Martinez's small team, or did the suspect go to confirm the hiding place and lead them to discover the body?
For a moment, Callum's mind was filled with a turmoil of thoughts.
In the end, Callum chose to believe Kirk. He turned around, left a group of suspects behind, and quickly caught up with Kirk.
"Kirk!"
Running all the way, Callum soon discovered that Kirk did not sprint at full speed. Instead, he slowed down and kept looking back. He also quickly looked back.
coming!
Ms. Martinez , Paul... and the three Minions.
really!
After Kirk dropped a blockbuster bomb, he suddenly ran away without warning. This unconventional action strongly disrupted people's mental balance.
Even Callum, his partner, was confused, let alone the others who were unprepared.
There was no time to think. They were led by Kirk, and Callum also ran out. Everything fell into chaos. They didn't even understand what was going on. They followed Kirk and Callum out like a series of little tails.
As a result, a very strange scene appeared in the hotel——
A man in a suit and a man in uniform were running in front, followed by a series of figures chasing them.
Guest: ???
Wait, are they under some illusion? Why are the police chasing others and others chasing the police? What kind of magical story is this?
They rushed all the way from the hotel lobby to the Palm Hall. The guests who were gathered in front of them, who were originally complaining and grumbling, now all made way and stared at the huge team in front of them with astonishment and shock on their faces, and everyone was watching the show.
It even alarmed the hotel security who was checking luggage in front.
Alex had a keen sense of smell and rushed over immediately. He stood behind Kirk and Callum with his arms outstretched to protect them. He looked at Paul and Ms. Martinez with a serious face and shouted, "What the hell are you doing?"
Paul: Wheezing.
Ms. Martinez
The three Minions at the back were a little slow, panting, swaying their chubby and short bodies as they caught up. They looked like they were about to roll their eyes and foam at the mouth. They supported their knees with their hands, and were unable to speak or even breathe.
Alex looked curious, "So, why did you run?"
The Minions wanted to cry but had no tears, and they didn't know either.
Callum looked back and saw that all the suspects were there. Then he looked at Kirk again, "Did you find it?"
"No, not at all." Kirk said calmly.
Callum: ...
Kirk was not worried at all. He adjusted his breathing a little, and then began to look around the hotel lobby.
He was sure that the body was very likely hidden here, so the key now was how to hide the body in plain sight.
The Plaza Hotel is magnificently and splendidly structured. Upon entering, you'll see a spacious lobby, and through the porch is the famous Palm Hall, which has been transformed into a space for afternoon tea where guests can rest at any time.
Walk along the corridor in front of the Palm Court in either direction, then turn left or right at the end, and continue all the way to the end. You will find the hotel lobby right behind the Palm Court.
Just now, they came all the way back from the back to the front——
The hotel lobby, the palm room, the foyer, any of these places could be hiding a body.
Kirk ran and observed all the way, searching his memory.
Thirty minutes ago, when they arrived at the Plaza Hotel, the body should have been hidden in the game room and was not moved until later; so this meant that Kirk needed to find differences based on his own memory, and any changes or differences could be clues to evidence.
After Paul and the others followed Kirk's footsteps all the way to the front hall, they finally caught their breath and saw Kirk strolling in the garden.
this……
Is this a walk or a garden tour?
"Detective! Police officer!"
"We have been cooperating with your work, but obviously you have treated all this as a joke, teasing us and abusing your power."
"This is absolutely intolerable. I need to report the situation to your supervisor."
"I told you, there is no case here, nothing happened. The Plaza Hotel is one of the safest, most luxurious and most popular residences in New York. Here, we have distinguished guests from different fields and professions. Our reputation and our brand are all guaranteed."
"Excuse me, what exactly are you doing?"
Crackling, Paul seemed to have been suppressing his emotions for a long time, and finally a gap was broken, and he could no longer control himself.
In the last paragraph, Paul clearly raised his voice, trying to spread his words——
People were approaching one after another all around, and the impact of this chaos and farce was continuing to spread. Seeing that things were about to get out of control, Paul simply went with the flow and righteously put all the blame on the NYPD.
In this way, not only can the guests be satisfied and their anger be diverted, but also one can get rid of one's own responsibilities and even get rewards.
The subtext is, look, they are the ones who are causing this chaos.
Paul also took every opportunity to demonstrate his wisdom as a manager, and he is not such a fool after all.
Callum was a little overwhelmed.
Subconsciously, Callum glanced at Kirk, who was walking around the front hall with his hands behind his back, looking like he had nothing to do.
In a flash, Callum remembered what happened between Kirk and Anna. Kirk seemed to have this ability, which made him find confidence and calm down again.
The problem is that there are more and more onlookers and the situation is getting a little out of control, so they may need to speed up.
"Shh!"
Kirk spoke up, put his right index finger on his lips, and made a gesture of silence to Paul. His nonchalant expression was still that smile, which was very... asking for a beating.
Then, Kirk met Alex's gaze and tapped his nose gently.
He didn't know what it meant, but it seemed to be played like that in the movies.
Eric suddenly perked up, strode up with his head held high, and stood beside Kirk with his back straight, like a bodyguard, waiting to be ordered.
Then, everyone in the audience looked in the direction indicated by Kirk's index finger as if possessed .
