Marriage in crisis

Soon, all the hotel's day shift employees were called back.

Li Zhen asked the general manager to take the people to their meeting room, and we followed Li Zhen directly to the meeting room.

After entering, Li Zhen looked around the meeting room with a serious face and asked the general manager, "Is everyone here?"

The general manager glanced at the head of human resources, who immediately nodded and said with certainty, "Everyone is here."

Li Zhen then asked the people present, "During the day shift, has anyone received or contacted a person who asked questions about the back door or the passage?"

Everyone in the conference room was silent for a moment, looking at each other with doubts on their faces, but no one dared to ask what had happened.

After a long while, an older female employee looked at Li Zhen timidly, then raised her hand and said, "I... I seem to have met such a person. He asked me if there was a way to get out without going through the main entrance!"

Her words immediately made us excited and we all looked at her.

When she saw that we were all looking at her, she became even more nervous and quickly explained, "I... I thought he was here... As you all know, there are a lot of people who come to the hotel to book a room..."

When the female employee said this, she secretly glanced at their general manager, lowered her eyes, and dared not say anything more.

Li Zhen glanced at her and asked, "What do you do for a living?"

The older sister said, "I work as a cleaner."

Li Zhen nodded immediately, his attitude softened a lot, and then he continued to ask patiently, "Is the person asking you this a man or a woman? What are their characteristics?"

The cleaning lady thought for a moment and looked at their general manager again.

Li Zhen immediately said, "Don't look at your leader, answer my questions seriously!"

The general manager immediately expressed his opinion, "Whatever the police ask you, just tell them the truth and don't worry."

The cleaning lady felt relieved when she heard her leader speak, and answered happily, "It's a man, quite tall, wearing a mask and all black. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, and I couldn't tell what he looked like, but his voice was very pleasant, and he was extremely polite!"

Her answers were fluent and her articulation was very eloquent.

She continued, "I saw that he was quite polite, so I didn't think much about it. I told him that he could go directly out of the restaurant on the second floor. He even asked me how to get there. I gave him detailed instructions."

The cleaning lady explained it in great detail.

Li Zhen asked again, "Which floor did you see this person on?"

The cleaning lady replied directly, "3rd floor!"

Li Zhen continued to ask, "About what time is it?"

The aunt thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It should be... noon. Yes, it was noon, probably... a little after 1 o'clock. Because I had finished my meal by then!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the other elder sister looked at her, and Li Zhen immediately noticed this subtle movement.

Li Zhen immediately asked, "Sister, did you see this person too?"

The older sister immediately shook her head, but said, "What I saw was the water deliveryman. The water deliveryman today is not the same person as every day. But..."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the cleaning lady who had just spoken, "Sister Tao, why do I feel that what you said is quite similar to what I saw today delivering water?"

The cleaning lady, who was called Sister Tao, was stunned. "The water delivery man?"

"Yes, the water delivery man today is not the one who comes every day!"

"Can you help me describe what this person looks like? Please be more detailed, including his physical features, clothes, and even his height..." Li Zhen guided the older sister who had just spoken.

The older woman clenched her hands nervously and swallowed. "He was quite tall, wearing work clothes and a black celebrity mask. He looked like a water delivery worker. But he was not the water delivery worker who brought us water every day.

This one today looks...quite handsome. Although he is wearing a mask with only his eyes exposed, his hair looks quite stylish, and...and he seems to smell pretty good."

I instinctively asked, "It smells good?"

The older sister nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it seems that he has sprayed perfume. At least he smells good when he is close to me."

The elder sister explained, and then said, "But the work clothes he was wearing didn't match his appearance. I was also thinking at the time, why is a water delivery worker wearing perfume?"

Sister Tao nodded immediately. "Oh, you know what? Now that you mention it, I really remember it. It's like this. It does smell a little bit like perfume!"
