Chapter 23 Surveillance Video

After glancing at Han An, Xu Yina said, “I’m an employee, and you’re an employee too. What we employees hope for most is to work peacefully and safely, and what we worry about most is that something might happen that could lead to us being fired. So if I argue with you here, or even shout in the courtyard that there are thieves here, that my things have been stolen, and that you won’t even let me see the security footage, what do you think would happen? I estimate that quite a few guests would check out immediately, after all, they don’t want to stay in an inn full of thieves.”

“The key is that you didn’t lose anything, did you?”

“Are you sure I didn’t lose anything?”

Anyway, I know you didn’t lose anything.

“Fine, I know your decision,” Xu Yina said, turning around. “I’m going to go and yell like a shrew right now, and encourage them all to check out. Your rent quadrupled during the National Day holiday, so this should be your inn’s most profitable period. If a lot of guests check out and no guests check in these next few days, I estimate you’ll lose tens of thousands of yuan. If your boss doesn’t care about those tens of thousands and still wants you to work here, then I have nothing to say.”

“I give up, okay?” the receptionist said with a displeased look. “You can watch the security footage if you want, but you’re not allowed to record it.”

Upon hearing the receptionist’s words, Xu Yina immediately turned around and smiled brightly.

“I’m sorry,” Xu Yina said, “I didn’t mean to trick you like this, but my boss really needs to see the surveillance footage.”

“Whatever you want,” the receptionist said. “Just leave as soon as you’re done.”

“I live here.”

“I mean him.”

At this point, the receptionist glared angrily at Han An.

Han An had truly experienced Xu Yina’s quick wit.

So after smiling at Xu Yina, Han An went around to the other side of the cashier and stood next to the cashier.

After stopping, Han An said, “We don’t want to make things difficult for you, but I really need to know who that man is.”

“I know, I just don’t want to cause trouble,” the cashier said. “Anyway, I’ll let you see the surveillance video. Once you’ve seen it, hurry up and leave.”

“Get into trouble? What do you mean?”

“If my boss finds out I showed you the surveillance video, he’ll definitely fire me.”

“Let’s finish this quickly.”

After retrieving the video from September 30th, the receptionist dragged the progress bar to the moment when Han An’s wife appeared.

Han An frowned as he saw his wife enter the inn.

Immediately afterwards, a man who looked to be around forty years old and was overweight walked in carrying his wife’s suitcase.

When his wife went to the cashier to check in, the fat man stood two meters away and kept staring at her.

Because the fat man scratched his crotch during the incident, Han An wondered if the fat man’s penis had become erect.

After checking in, his wife faced the fat man.

After chatting for a few minutes, his wife walked towards the stairwell, while the fat man followed behind carrying his suitcase.

Seeing this, Han An asked, “What did those two talk about?”

“I don’t know.”

“You were so close to them, how could you not have heard them?”

“They speak a dialect that I can’t understand at all,” the receptionist said. “To put it another way, my boyfriend is a local, but I’m from Suzhou.”

“Did they ever engage in any very intimate behavior?”

“Didn’t you already check the surveillance video?”

“Show me the surveillance video from the second floor again.”

The receptionist was very unhappy when she heard Han An’s request.

Despite her reluctance, she still held the mouse and clicked on the monitoring software interface.

Since we’ve already come this far, we might as well try our best to meet Han An’s demands.

Finish watching it as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible.

After seeing the surveillance video on the second floor, Han An frowned even more deeply.

Because the camera was in front of his wife, Han An also saw his wife chatting and laughing with the fat man carrying the suitcase.

After opening room 8203, his wife went in first, followed by the fat man who weighed an estimated 80 kilograms, who then closed the door.

Han An felt very uncomfortable seeing the fat man close the door.

Because there were no security cameras in the hotel room, he had no idea what his wife and the fat man had done.

Because he wanted to see when the fat man would finally leave the guest room, Han An kept fast-forwarding.

It took almost half an hour for the fat man to finally emerge from the guest room.

After that, the fat man went downstairs and left the inn.

If he were just a driver, he wouldn’t have stayed in his wife’s room, which means the fat man and his wife definitely know each other.

Given that his wife took a Didi ride to Huazhu Inn, it means that the fat man was probably waiting for his wife outside the inn.

After picking up his wife, he and his wife went into the inn together.

Being alone for more than half an hour?

Just chatting?

Should we chat while we do it?

He left happily after inserting that disgusting liquid into his wife’s body.

We must find this fat man!

Could this fat man be Li Fulong, his wife’s former boss?

As long as the photo is shown to Bai Qin, it will be confirmed, so Han An immediately took out his phone.

“Don’t record this!”

“Photograph.”

The receptionist tried to stop him, but Han An had already taken a picture.

After putting his phone in his pocket, Han An continued fast forward.

His wife didn’t leave the guest room and the inn until 3 p.m.

Han An had no idea where his wife had gone.

But he didn’t care about that; he only cared whether his wife brought men home.

If a man is brought home and leaves the next day, he can use the surveillance video as evidence of his wife’s infidelity and then divorce her.

Even as the progress bar fast-forwarded to 11 p.m., Han An still didn’t see his wife appear on the second-floor surveillance camera.

Since we stayed at Huazhu Inn, how could we not have spent the night here?

With this question in mind, Han An continued fast-forwarding.

What chilled Han An to the bone was that it wasn’t until 4 p.m. on the 2nd that his wife returned to the room with the fat man who had appeared on the surveillance footage before.

It wasn’t until six o’clock that the fat man came out of his wife’s room.

In other words, his wife did not stay overnight at the Huazhu Inn for two consecutive nights!

Furthermore, since it was the fat man who escorted his wife back to the inn, Han An had already identified the fat man as the adulterer!

We must find this fat man!

Seeing Han An’s fierce expression, the receptionist tentatively asked, “Have you… finished looking?”

“Thank you for your help.”

“Then I hope you won’t bother me anymore, haha.”

At this moment, Xu Yina asked, “Boss, should we go out or stay in my room first?”
