Marriage in crisis

But there was complete silence inside. I suddenly had a bad feeling and looked at Chi Xi.

Chi Xi had a serious face and instinctively said, "It's bad! Something happened!"

She took a step forward and pressed the doorknob; it was locked.

Chi Xi quickly said to the manager, "Quick, open the door!"

The manager was stunned, and seeing that our expressions were very serious, he immediately took out the universal room card from his pocket and waved it on the access control system. With a "click", the room door was unlocked.

Chi Xi was already a little impatient, so he grabbed the manager, pressed the door handle, and pushed the door open.

At the same time, people had already rushed in.

I followed closely behind.

The room looked a little messy, with the quilt half on the floor and half on the bed, one pair of slippers at the door and one in the middle of the floor, and the child's two small shoes still under the bedside table in the room, but... there was no one in the room, and there was no sign of the nanny and the child.

Chi Xi pushed open the bathroom door, but no one was there.

My heart suddenly sank. It seemed that something really had happened.

At this time, Yuxiang exclaimed, "Sister, look...blood!"

We all looked in the direction she pointed, and saw three bloody handprints sliding across the wall on the inside of the door.

Chi Xi immediately went over and touched it with his fingers, then twisted it with his thumb. It was obvious that the bloodstain was fresh.

We looked at each other and my heart sank.

It seems that someone is injured.

Chi Xi immediately took out his phone and called. Li Zhen's voice came from the other end. Chi Xi got straight to the point and said, "Bring someone to the hotel where the nanny is staying! She's missing. It looks like she was taken away!"

Li Zhen didn't ask any more questions and hung up the phone directly.

The three of us looked at each other. The manager was also a little panicked. His eyes kept scanning our faces, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Chi Xi glanced at him and said unhappily, "Why are you still standing there? Show us the surveillance camera in the store."

He seemed to have found the direction and gestured to us, "Then please follow me this way!"

Chi Xi said coldly, "Send someone to guard here. No one can come in here!"

The manager also knew the seriousness of the matter. He nodded repeatedly and used the loudspeaker in his hand to call someone up.

Chi Xi told her, "Stand by the door and don't disrupt the scene."

Then he said to the manager with a cold face, "Lead the way!"

The manager was a little overwhelmed. He walked out to the corridor and went directly to the hotel's monitoring room.

The monitoring room was on the second floor. There was a row of computers inside and only one person was sitting in front of a computer. The room was not big and there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke, which made us involuntarily take a step back.

Chi Xi simply opened the door to let in some fresh air before walking in.

The manager angrily shouted at the employee, "I've repeatedly told you not to smoke, not to smoke, but you ignored me, didn't you?"

The employee stood aside respectfully.

Chi Xi glanced at the manager coldly, walked straight in, came to the host computer, and picked up the mouse.

Because we didn't know when the people were taken away, Chi Xi adjusted the time to the time when we left.

Eighteen hours had passed since we left, and Chi Xi could only fast forward to find the node.

Chi Xi suddenly asked the manager, "Has there been a power outage here today?"

The manager was stunned for a moment and looked at the staff in the monitoring room. The staff was also obviously squinting, not knowing what it meant, and also looked at the manager.

Chi Xi was a little angry, "Go call someone who knows. Don't you report the situation when you take over?"

The manager quickly said, "It was reported, but...it didn't say whether there was a power outage."

"Ask!" Chi Xi chuckled.

I understand that Chi Xi has some problems with this manager, otherwise she would never have had such an attitude.

The manager thought about it for a moment, then immediately made a phone call and asked, "Did the store lose power during the day shift today?"

I couldn't hear what the other party said clearly. He just hummed twice and hung up the phone.

Then he looked at Chi Xi and said, "It was stopped at around 3:15 in the afternoon. It was repaired by 3:25. The internal circuit breaker exploded."

Chi Xi directly moved the progress bar to around 3:15 and took a look. It was indeed missing 10 minutes and 56 seconds.

This means that the power outage lasted for 11 minutes.
