Chapter 614 A Substitute?
The lady's room had not been checked out yet, but she seemed to come and go early and late every day. Because she had been specifically instructed not to be disturbed before, our staff did not pay much attention to her. But now that you mention it, I do remember that she was a very quiet person and even when she spoke to someone indoors, she always wore a mask and sunglasses
With the words of the staff, the playback footage on the screen was also opened
I didn't know whether to feel satisfied with my own judgment at the moment or disappointed with losing another clue about my wife
Because the content on the screen was almost identical to the airport surveillance, all showing Olive's back, occasionally a few frontal shots were also as the staff described, with her face covered by a mask and sunglasses, making it impossible to distinguish her facial features
"As you can see, even if this lady didn't instruct us not to disturb her, we wouldn't have initiated a conversation with her. She was a very quiet and reserved person, and even a bit serious."
The staff saw my serious expression and for a moment didn't know what attitude to use to explain this matter to me. So they could only state everything they had seen before
But it is precisely these words that make the doubts in my heart reappear in an instant
Although Olive's personality cannot be
considered outgoing, it is not as she claims, silent and even somewhat serious
She was a person who was very knowledgeable about etiquette. When we used to go out together in the past, she never made any unpleasant faces towards any service staff
Or, when facing service personnel, Olive was usually polite and courteous
I can say for certain that she would not remain silent and serious like the staff member said
My gaze fell on the screen, and the surveillance footage played back over and over again as I carefully examined it
The person in the scene... at first glance, indeed appeared to be Olive, but I have to admit that every action of hers carried a deliberate feeling
Even some of her usual small gestures, such as touching her nose or tucking her hair behind her ear, were replicated very frequently as if she wanted to create memorable moments for someone
Yes, I doubted that the person in the picture was Olive at all
She was just a decoy prepared for me based on Olive's figure and hair color, just to deceive me
And who else could it be, besides Marilyn, the person who attempted to deceive me in such a despicable way?

I could not suppress the anger in my heart and immediately turned to the hotel staff, pointing at the person on the surveillance screen, and said,
"T want her room number, regardless of whether
she has instructed you not to enter the room. In any case, I want her room number!"
I was almost incoherent, but the thought of the person who looked so much like Olive and had replaced her in Tokyo being upstairs made my
heart race uncontrollably
What if... What if that person 1s still in the hotel room now, find her, although it may not necessarily lead to finding the missing Olive, but at least she could provide me with tangible and useful clues
"But sir, we need to protect everyone's privacy, and it is already against the rules for you to come and watch the surveillance today. IfI tell you the room number and it turns out that the lady inside has nothing to do with your wife's disappearance..."
"No! I was certain that she was connected to the disappearance of my wife!"
After the person across from me rejected me, I unsurprisingly listened to her words but quickly gave a rebuttal
And when she still wanted to refuse me, I couldn't hold back and interrupted her from saying What she wanted to say next, then I solemnly explained the whole story to all the hotel staff present
The staff member, who seemed to have more authority, raised her hand to signal the person next to her not to reply to me hastily. Then, she hesitated for a moment, seemingly struggling in her mind. Just when I was about to give up persuading and consider using other coercive measures to directly contact the embassy, she finally nodded
"I can take you to this lady's room, but on the condition that if she is not your wife, you must remain calm and refrain from any inappropriate behavior."
She said it very tactfully, but I also understood that she did not approve of the other coercive measures I had just thought of
I really wanted to make it clear to her again, but the search for Olive's mood left me no time to consider these minor details, so I nodded almost without hesitation to indicate that I understood
But when I followed the staff and arrived at the door according to the room number on the register, the person inside did not respond to my knocking
I glanced at the staff who had just instructed me to stay calm, and before she could react, I kicked
open the locked door of the guest room
