"Last night, because everyone knew that they were going back today, there was no entertainment arranged, and everyone went back to their rooms early and started to pack their bags and prepare to go home.But at about 10 p.m., there was a sudden power outage in the hotel.I went to the front desk to inquire, and the hotel said that there was a fault in the line and it would be repaired soon.Later, after more than 40 minutes, the line was finally repaired and the electricity came. ”After Xu Fang finished speaking, Liang Tao also said: "Yes, yes, yes, there is indeed such a thing." ”Qin Hai groaned, "After the power outage, did anyone leave the room?"
”Xu Fang said: "Yes, the weather was very hot last night, and after the power outage, many people left their rooms to cool off on the beach outside the hotel, and did not go back to their rooms to rest until the electricity came." ”"During the power outage, did you see any unrelated people entering the hotel?"
Liang Tao and Xu Fang glanced at each other and shook their heads together.Liang Tao said: "Because the whole building has been covered by us, and the security in the hotel is good, everyone is not too worried about someone going in to steal things."
Later, when I called, I asked for a round, and everyone said that they didn't lose anything.Chairman, will someone take advantage of the power outage to stuff drugs into our luggage?
But if that's the case, what are the motivations of these people?
It's really weird. ”Qin Hai pondered for a while and said, "Until the matter is investigated, everything is possible.You let everyone not worry, this matter will definitely be investigated, and everyone will be innocent, so that everyone can go home smoothly. ”Liang Tao and Xu Fang nodded, and seeing that Qin Hai had no other instructions, they turned around and went back to continue to appease the members of the tour group.Qin Hai waited for a while, and saw that Qiao Wei and Xiao Lingling had not come back for a long time, and it was estimated that their negotiations with the airport police were not going well, so he left the dark room and prepared to go over to have a look.Not long after he left the dark room, Anna appeared in the airport waiting hall, and after dialing Qin Hai's mobile phone, she quickly came to Qin Hai.Anna was called by Qin Hai, and he made a call to Anna before he set off from the villa.After all, this is Sydney, it is the world of Westerners, and sometimes in the eyes of foreigners, there are still some prejudices against yellow-skinned Orientals, especially Chinese, and it may be better to let Anna come forward at this time."
Qin, have you called Serena?"
Anna asked."
I did, but her phone was turned off, and she couldn't get through."
In fact, as early as when he was in the villa, Qin Hai called Serena, but he never got through.If Serena could come forward at this time, the effect would definitely be better, after all, the Edward family is still very famous in Sydney.At this moment, Qiao Wei and Xiao Lingling also came back, and their faces were not very good.Qin Hai asked, "How is it, what do they say?"
”Qiao Wei sighed, "They've searched all the packages, but they still won't let them go. ”Xiao Lingling said indignantly: "These people are too bullying, they say that we Chinese people like to do three things the most, stealing, selling Y and drug trafficking, and also say that the security in Sydney has become bad because of our Chinese immigrants in large numbers." ”Qin Hai's eyes sank, "I'll go talk to them." ”Anna hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my dear, we need professionals to deal with the police." ”After speaking, she made a phone call, and soon a middle-aged man came in from outside the airport, after Anna's introduction, this middle-aged man's name is Smith, a senior lawyer in Sydney, who has worked with Anna many times before, so he is more familiar."
Mr.
Smith is a very professional lawyer, and it is most appropriate for him to intervene with the police in this matter."
Anna said with a smile.Qin Hai also knew that he was impulsive just now, and it was indeed better for a lawyer to come forward in this kind of matter.He then told Smith the whole story, and gave him carte blanche on the matter.Smith did live up to expectations, and after half an hour, the police, after collecting a security deposit of $1 million, agreed to let everyone in the black room leave the airport, but they could only return to the hotel to rest, not Sydney.As for the eight people who have already been detained by the police, they cannot be released for the time being.Qin Hai asked Liang Tao and Xu Fang to lead the tour group back to the hotel, while he and Qiao Wei followed Smith to the police station again, where they saw the drugs that the police had seized from Xie Shan's eight of them's boxes, as well as the eight pieces of luggage.It may be because of Smith's intervention that the police's attitude towards them has improved a lot, but they still refuse to let go, insisting on detaining eight people, including Xie Shan.Because drug trafficking is a felony in Australia and parole is not allowed, Smith has no good way to deal with it, so he can only hope that the police will find out the truth as soon as possible and thank them for their innocence.However, according to Smith's experience, it will take at least a month or two for this kind of case to be investigated, or even longer.In other words, the rest of the tour group may be able to return to China in a few days, but Xie Shan and the eight of them will be detained in Sydney for at least a month or two.If the judge finally finds that they are indeed suspected of drug trafficking, they will even be sentenced.It's a sass!
After coming out of the police station, Smith left first, and Qin Hai and his party came to the hotel where the tour group stayed.Qin Hai started from the hotel gate and looked all the way, and then went all the way to the room where Xie Shan had stayed before, looking inside and out, but found nothing.Then I looked at the rooms where the other seven people had stayed, and still found nothing.Then they went to the hotel monitoring room to look at last night's monitoring records, but unexpectedly, the hotel's monitoring last night was also missing 40 minutes of records due to power outages.As for the monitoring during other time periods, after the hotel's self-inspection, no strangers were found to enter and leave Xie Shan's room.Qin Hai still didn't give up, and soon came to the hotel's power distribution room, where Qin Hai quickly found the problem.In the locker in the distribution room, a broken meter was casually thrown there, with traces of smoke and fire, and it looked like a serious short-circuit fault that caused the meter to burn.Anna quickly found a circuit repairman, who is said to have repaired the circuit after the power outage at the hotel last night.According to this person's confession, the meter in the locker was indeed replaced by him last night, and the meter suddenly shorted for unknown reasons last night and burned down completely, so it led to a total power outage in the hotel.It was only after he replaced the meter in time that the hotel was restored to light.Hearing this, Qin Hai finally determined that it was indeed someone who was secretly playing tricks and using drugs to frame Xie Shan and them.However, who this person was and what kind of purpose he had, Qin Hai couldn't figure it out.Xie Shan They are all coming to Sydney for the first time, and they have not had any conflicts with others in the past few days, who would use such vicious means to frame them?
At this moment, a hotel security guard walked into the power distribution room quickly and handed an envelope to Qin Hai, saying that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child had just delivered the letter to the hotel, and said that he wanted to give it to him by name.
