Chapter 270

A pang of fear ran through Luke’s mind; this was no small matter.

If he hadn’t been cautious enough, tonight’s applause for love between the two would have turned into a live broadcast 80% of the time.

“FUCK!”

A wave of anger rose up, this was fucking disgusting.

Daisy noticed the anomaly as well, “Luke, what did you find?”

Luke pointed to the reflective red dot on the socket, “A miniature camera may have been installed here.”

Daisy frowned slightly, as if recalling some bad memories, “Have you offended anyone recently?”

Luke asked himself if he hadn’t offended anyone, but he had arrested a lot of people.

However, most of the suspects he arrested were working alone, not a well-organized criminal gang, Luke didn’t think that they could find out that he had booked a hotel room and installed a camera one step ahead.

In Luke’s impression, apart from the relevant departments, only the Pinkerton Detective Agency had this ability.

In the former case, Luke had not offended the relevant departments.

The latter, Pinkerton Detective Agency should also not dare to do this, he and Orty had contacted each other several times, the other party should know his caution, this thing did not have much effect except to cause his own dissatisfaction.

“It shouldn’t be directed at me, should you?”

Daisy pondered for a moment and shook her head slightly.

Since neither felt it had anything to do with them, there was another possibility of random sneak peeks.

This kind of thing was not uncommon, and had even formed a certain size of industry chain.

Luke continued to search the house and found a miniature camera in the bathroom’s socket hole as well.

Specializing in secretly filming the place where one bathes and sleeps, how nasty must this person who installed the camera be.

The anger value in Luke’s heart was also ‘miso’ soaring.

Luke and Daisy discussed it, with Daisy calling 911 to report the incident, and Luke looking for the person in charge of the hotel to communicate.

Staying in a hotel couple’s room was not shameful, but it was also not something to brag about, so Luke and Daisy still wanted to solve it in a low-key manner.

Luke does not intend to light up his identity, he is also a party to the case, it is not wise to light up his identity before he has clarified the situation.

“Knock knock.”

A knock came from outside.

Luke walked to the door to check, there was a white man in a suit standing outside, looking at the hangtag on his chest, he should be the hotel manager.

The door opened.

The white man in a suit said, “Hello sir, I’m Arlie Pierce, the manager of the Four Seasons Hotel, and I’ve heard that you have something to complain about.”

“Please come in.” Luke stepped aside, “I found something strange in your hotel room and would like to ask Manager Pierce to help me out.”

“What is it?”

Luke turned off the lights and turned on his cell phone camera function and once again found the red reflective spot.

Luke pointed in the direction of the socket and asked, “Can you tell me what’s in the socket?”

“Uh ……” Yali Pierce came over and took a closer look, his face hesitant, “I don’t know, maybe there’s a problem with the wiring, I’ll have a staff member come over to overhaul it.

Ma’am, sir, I’m sorry for affecting your rest.

How about I help you guys change to another room? Same couple’s room, right next door.”

Daisy laughed, “We rented a room in your hotel and the room had cameras installed in the bathroom and across the bed, we were subjected to surreptitious photography, do you think it’s a matter of changing the room?”

“Ma’am, I apologize for the inconvenience.

However, we are not yet sure that the red reflective spot just now is the camera, we will get a professional to check it out.

In the meantime, in order to avoid affecting the two of you to rest, we are willing to provide an identical room for the two of you to stay in, in order to apologize the cost of this room will be borne by me personally.

The two of you can stay for free as some compensation from our hotel to the two of you.” Yali Pierce’s attitude was polite.

But there really wasn’t much sincerity in Daisy’s opinion.

“Do you think we can still stay after what happened?

Do you think we came here because we don’t have a house?

We came here on a date because of the ambiance of your hotel.

Do you think there’s an atmosphere now?”

“Ma’am, then if you have any ideas, you can also bring them up and we can discuss them.”

Daisy thought for a moment, “Call your wife, you couples stay in the room for one night, I’ll pay for the room.”

Luke smiled, “Good idea, I agree.”

“Ma’am, please watch what you say, I think you’re insulting me.” Arlie Pierce’s face became a bit ugly.

“You’re the one who insulted us first.

You acted like you didn’t care what happened to us, changing rooms and reducing the rent as if you were giving a handout.

Now that you’re letting you stay one night, you think it’s an insult, aren’t you being a bit double standard?

And, I’d love to ask your hotel president why you feel it’s an insult to stay one night in your own hotel?

Do you also think that your own hotel is bad?”

Arry Pierce sighed and spread his hands, “Ma’am, I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you.

I’m here to fix the problem, and I probably didn’t express myself clearly.

I apologize for that.

I’m here to solve the problem in good faith, and you can ask for anything you want.”

Daisy shook her head, “I don’t have any demands, I just want to know what that red reflective spot is?”

“Like I said, the maintenance man that’s needed to check it out will not know.”

“Then get someone.”

Arry Pierce glanced at his watch, “The maintenance crews are off duty at this time of night, so I’m guessing it’ll be hard to get here right away.

I suggest that the two of you go to the room next to it for a while, and I’ll let you know when the maintenance crew arrives.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” Daisy’s tone was resolute.

Luke felt that she was better suited to handle this kind of thing than he was.

“Zip ……,” Arlie Pierce’s walkie-talkie rang.

“Hey, it’s me.

I got it.

I’m on my way.”

Arlie Pierce hung up the intercom, “Ma’am and sir, you called the police?”

Daisy nodded, “That seems like a very wise decision right now.”

“SORRY, excuse me.” Arlie Pierce left the room and turned to leave the hotel room.

Yali Pierce exited the room and walked towards the elevator in a jog.

“Dingdong.”

The elevator doors opened and two patrolmen stepped down inside.

A white patrolman and a black patrolman.

The white patrolman looked to be in his mid-thirties and had his hands buckled in his belt.

Arlie Pierce offered to step forward and shake hands, “Hi Officer Sindel, good to see you.”

“The answering desk got a 911 call about someone installing a camera in a hotel room for surreptitious filming, and I just happened to be in the neighborhood, so I came over to check it out.

Where is the caller?”

“Right here in room 506, two very difficult customers.”

“Manager Pierce, what the hell is going on? You have cameras installed in your hotel rooms?”

“NoNoNo, we’re a regular hotel, there’s no way we could do that.” Arlie Pierce took the white police officer aside and whispered, “Look, I think the customer may have installed it himself.”

“You think the customer who called the police installed it?”

“I’m not sure, it could have been a customer who had checked in before, the hotel has a mixed clientele, and inevitably there will be some customers with special proclivities.

It’s unlikely that our hotel would have installed the camera itself, and besides, just because he found red reflective dots in the sockets doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a camera.”

The white officer pressed, “You think there’s something wrong with the two of them?”

“I don’t.

I offered a compensation package to give them an identical room and waive the cost of the room.

But …… they didn’t agree.

I could sense they wanted more.”

“You think they’re trying to blackmail the hotel?”

“I don’t know, I just hope this doesn’t happen.

We only opened the hotel to do business, we don’t want any trouble, and we want this to be resolved as quickly and peacefully as possible.”

“I see what you mean, I’ll go talk to them.”

“Thanks, Officer Sindel, have a drink sometime.”

Without replying, Sindel pointed his right hand sideways to the law enforcement recorder on his chest and greeted the black officer as he headed toward the room.

“Knock knock.”

The white officer, Sindel, knocked symbolically on the door, “LAPD, we’re in.”

The two officers entered the room and swept somewhat warily to see a man and a woman sitting on the balcony.

“Who’s the caller?”

Daisy stood up, “I’m the one who called the police.”

Cindel swept Daisy’s eyes and then looked at Luke, “You guys are in this together?”

“Yes officer.” Luke stood up as well, showing respect.

“Good, what is your relationship?”

“Friends.”

“Friends who live in a couple’s room?” Sindel smiled and pointed a finger at the hammock next to him, “Get your IDs out.”

Something didn’t sit right with Luke, this line of questioning was too damn familiar, like he was on a pornography raid.

“Officer, are you mistaken, we’re the ones who reported the crime.”

“I know you’re the reporting party, what’s the problem?”

“As soon as you entered, you didn’t ask about the reason for reporting the case, instead you suspected that there was something wrong with our identity.

Your attitude made me feel offended.”

“That was your illusion.

Before entering the door, I already understood the situation here. My checking your identities was also just a routine verification.

When we’re done verifying identities, we’ll address the issue of the cameras.”

Luke keenly caught the key information; normally, the responding officers would not describe the situation in too much detail, and the officers had to understand the situation themselves when they arrived at the scene.

He asked rhetorically, “Who did you get your information from?”

Sindel’s tone was stern, “I have my own channels, show me your ID.”

“What channels?”

“Please cooperate with our investigation and bring out the documents.”

“This attitude of yours is hard for me to accept.” The reason why Luke asked Daisy to call the police instead of calling the police himself was to resolve this matter in a low-key manner, but now I’m afraid it seems impossible.

Sindel also revealed a wary look, “Sir, your current attitude makes me stick to my judgment even more, please take out your ID.”

“OK,” Luke fished his badge out of his pocket, “What kind of ID do you want? Will this do?”

Sindel and the black officer looked at each other, surprised, “You’re a cop too?”

“And of a higher rank than you guys.”

“What department are you in?”

“Detective Bureau, Captain of Squadron One of the Robbery and Murder Division.”

At that moment, the two police officers were dumbfounded, you looked at me and I looked at you, somewhat at a loss for words ……
