Chapter 9: No Solution
Bai Yanliang took the breakfast handed to him by the male waiter and casually asked, "By the way, where is the waitress from earlier? She promised to replace the pillow for me. Don't let her forget."
The two waiters' expressions seemed a bit strange, but they answered politely, "Certainly, sir."
"Oh... sir, please don't take her words too seriously in the future. She... has been under a lot of stress lately and might be having some mental issues," one waiter said with a smile, not allowing Bai Yanliang to continue speaking before turning away with the other.
"There's something wrong."
The speaker was Xu Zhi'an, who was watching the backs of the two waiters thoughtfully.
"You guys, take a look at this."
At this point, Feng Xinghan suddenly took out a newspaper and handed it to Bai Yanliang and Li Yuejun.
Bai Yanliang took it, quickly skimmed through the pages, and then fixated on a news description.
"Ding Lei, owner of the Ruyi Hotel, whose wife has been missing for six days. Police have conducted multiple investigations and collected evidence but found no clues. There are rumors among the locals that Ding Lei's wife has been murdered, and it is highly likely that Ding Lei himself is the killer..."
Bai Yanliang folded the newspaper, handing it to Li Yuejun while letting his gaze fall upon the reception desk in the lobby.
Ruyi Hotel.
