104: Chapter 104 Completely Played for a fool
Some time later.
At this moment, a group of Officer Hats stood on the first floor of the hotel, looking at each other.
One Officer Hat said with a face full of confusion, "Strange, I saw him go in! How did he disappear?"
Li Ming frowned as he looked at everyone present.
"Are you sure you've checked everything? Looked in every room?"
"Captain Li, we've checked everything, searched every room. We even caught two guys soliciting prostitutes, but we just didn't see Number Nine."
"Strange! Is it haunted? Are you sure he didn't leave the hotel earlier?"
"Captain Li, our people have been staking out the entrance. We didn't see Number Nine come out!"
At this time, a man with freckles on his face walked over and said:
"Captain Li! We all know Number Nine has incredible magic tricks. He also has a Paraglider. Is it possible that after he saw us, he went to the balcony?"
Balcony?
Li Ming suddenly blurted out, "Could it be that he wants to use a Paraglider to escape?"
"Quick! Everyone to the balcony immediately!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone swarmed toward the balcony.
Before long, the entire lobby was empty.
Seeing everyone had left, the freckled man revealed a playful smile and then tore off his mask; it was none other than Qin Mo.
While he was sleeping, an Officer Hat suddenly burst in. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, knocked the Officer Hat unconscious, and walked out disguised as him.
Then Qin Mo waved his hand, and his iconic White Suit suddenly appeared.
Qin Mo used an index finger to press down his White Top Hat, glanced back at the elevator, gave a faint smile, and strolled away.
"Hahaha..."
"This is killing me. The Officer Hats probably never imagined the Streamer would actually disguise himself as one of them, blend in, and play them like a fiddle."
"Is this the legendary 'the most dangerous place is the safest place'?"
"I have to say, the Streamer's reaction was really fast. The moment the Officer Hat burst in, he took him down and even wore his clothes to stand right in front of them."
"I just want to ask, where did the Streamer learn his disguise skills? It's like he was carved from the same mold!"
"Is there a tutorial? I want to dress up as a woman to be my bro's girlfriend. He's going crazy thinking about women every day. As his brother, how can I not fulfill his wish?"
"Brother upstairs, I thank you on behalf of your brother!"
...
On the hotel balcony, the elevator finally reached the top floor after a long time.
Li Ming led the group of Officer Hats as they rushed out, crowded together like sheep in a pen.
"Hahaha! Qin Mo, you can't run now!"
Li Ming laughed loudly as he ran out.
"Huh?"
"Where... where is he?"
...
Everyone froze after seeing clearly. Li Ming's laughter stopped abruptly. The entire balcony was empty. A breeze blew by, as if mocking them...
An Officer Hat said with a bewildered face, "What's the situation? He's not on the balcony either. Where on earth did Number Nine go? Can he turn invisible?"
Li Ming roared with a face full of rage:
"Zhang Sheng! Where are you? This is the balcony you were talking about? Come out and explain to me what's going on!"
"This..."
At these words, everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't find the Zhang Sheng Li Ming was talking about...
"What's going on?"
Li Ming was also stunned...
"Mmph... mmph..."
Just then, a whimpering sound came out, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone subconsciously followed the source of the sound to a large cardboard box.
"This... this..."
An Officer Hat said excitedly, "Is Number Nine in this box?"
Hearing this, everyone present also became happy.
Li Ming gave an Officer Hat a look.
The Officer Hat understood instantly and placed his hand on the box, while the others prepared to pounce at any moment.
Seeing this, Li Ming nodded and held up three fingers.
Three.
Two.
One.
"Go!"
With a loud shout, the Officer Hat flipped the cardboard box over, and the other Officer Hats swarmed forward like lightning.
Everyone suddenly lay on the ground like a human pyramid.
"Ah!!!!!"
"Who is it! You're crushing me!"
A shirtless man at the bottom suddenly screamed in pain from being crushed.
Li Ming stepped forward with a smile.
"Haha! Qin Mo, don't try to—"
Before Li Ming could finish his sentence, he froze after seeing the person they had caught.
"Zhang Sheng? Why is it you?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, everyone quickly got off Zhang Sheng, completely bewildered.
What's the situation? Weren't we catching Number Nine? Why is Zhang Sheng at the bottom? Where is Number Nine?
Li Ming frowned at the shirtless Zhang Sheng.
"Why are you here? And not wearing clothes? Tying yourself up and hiding in a box? What are you trying to do?"
At these words, Zhang Sheng's face was filled with grievance. "Captain Li! You don't know, I ran into Number Nine while checking the rooms just now. He knocked me out, stripped my clothes, tied me up, and put me in a cardboard box on the balcony."
"What did you say?"
The whole place erupted in an uproar.
Li Ming's eyes widened even more: "You said Qin Mo stripped your clothes and hid you here? Then who was the 'you' downstairs just now?"
Zhang Sheng was full of question marks upon hearing this...
"Captain Li, I've been on the balcony the whole time! I never went to the first floor!"
"Oh no!"
Li Ming slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing.
"That person just now was Qin Mo in disguise! Quick, after him!"
At these words, the crowd scattered again and ran downstairs, not even waiting for the elevator.
Only Zhang Sheng was left sitting on the ground with a bewildered look.
"What's the situation? What happened? Untie me!"
"Hey! Is anyone there? Hey? You guys forgot about me!"
...
At this moment, Li Ming, who was running toward the first floor, was so angry his lungs were about to burst.
What a humiliation! Qin Mo was right in front of them and even walked out openly, yet not a single one of them noticed. This was an absolute humiliation!
After a while, everyone ran to the first floor, panting.
At this time, other than the Front Desk Miss standing there with a face full of terror, there was no sign of Qin Mo...
Li Ming walked up to the Miss with a grim face: "You..."
But before he could speak, the Miss said in a trembling voice, "I... I'll confess everything. I... I didn't dip my dumplings in vinegar yesterday. I found five yuan on my way to work today and didn't hand it in. I swear I only bought a pack of tissues. I was one minute late for work today. I didn't say..."
"Besides that, I... I've only had two boyfriends. I swear, I'll break up with them later and won't date anymore! Please don't arrest me, okay? I'll definitely change in the future..."
Watching the Miss incoherently recount her embarrassing secrets, Li Ming's face was covered in black lines.
"I'm asking if you've seen this person?"
As he spoke, Li Ming took out a photo. The person in the photo was Qin Mo.
