250 He is not the same person

"Hello, mister. Have you seen the face of the dead body properly? Is this the same person there." Jackson opened the gallery of his mobile and showed Mr Lee's photo to the hotel workers ,who have seen the dead body. 

The worker took the mobile and observed the photo very carefully.

"No sir. He is not the same person." One of the worker replied.

"Are you sure?" Jackson asked again.

"Yes sir. We are hundred per cent sure about it. The man lying there is much more aged than this man. When we entered to clean the room, the man was lying on the ground. We got alerted immediately and tried to wake him up. But the man was dead already. He must be poisoned. His lips has turned blue. We were so much frightened that we came here running immediately." The man replied.

"But as you have described, the man died is not Mr Lee." Jackson said in low voice.

"What !That man is not Mr Lee? How is it possible? The room had surely booked in Mr Lee's name. If I could just go there now and have a look on the man there. I am so confused." The receptionist said in confused voice.

"No. You should not go there. Let the police come. Can you please tell me about the visitors of Mr Lee? I think the person must be one of his visitor." Jackson said to the receptionist.

"I am sorry sir. I have already shown you the guest list of the hotel, which is also against the rules and regulations of our hotel. So please leave the hotel now. Otherwise you would be in trouble. This place is not that good. I think someone is keeping an eye here." The receptionist whispered on his ears.

Jackson nodded and left the front desk and reached at the parking lot ,where John Smith was waiting for him. Jackson got in the car hurriedly and instructed the driver to drive the car.

"What is it? Why are you looking so serious? Has something bad happened? Have you seen Mr Lee?" John Smith asked worriedly.

"No sir.I have not seen Mr Lee. Something big happened there." Jackson replied worriedly.

"What ?Tell me in details." John Smith asked worriedly.

Jackson explained everything in details.

"Now sir, What do you think about it? Is the death of that man too related to the underworld ? I am very confused." Jackson said in confused voice.

"That we can know only after the identification of the deceased man." John Smith replied after thinking for a moment. "Jackson, we should try to heck all the CCTV cameras of the hotel. Although I think the murderer had already deleted everything after the murder, but at least we should try to find out." John Smith added.

Jackson checked the CCTV footage for a long time, but he could not find out anything.'

"It seems that Mr Lee and his team had deleted everything. Now how can we find out?" Jackson asked in frustrating voice.

"Don't worry too much. You keep trying. They head deleted only the CCTV footage, but they can not delete the memory of the people working there." John Smith said with a mysterious smile.

"What do you mean? The people working there? Do you want to check in that hotel too?" Jackson asked surprised tone.

"You are really a smart man.Let us go there and check in."

"But it would be too risky. What if anyone find out about it? There we have to show our identity too. The receptionist warned me that that hotel is not a good place . he must know something ."Jackson asked worriedly.

John Smith laughed loudly.

"I think you have not got proper training from that old man? How can you even think about using our real identity cards? And about the risk ,are not we in enough risk? So why are worried now. Without going to that place ,we would not get any information. We can not waste our time. We got some link of Mr Lee. So we can not deny it." John Smith said in thoughtful voice.

Jackson nodded. What John Smith was telling was correct. They must follow the clue.

"Yes sir. You are correct. We should go there. I think we should put our mask on."Jackson replied.

John Smith nodded.

"Just make sure that the room you are going to book,should be on the same floor as Mr Lee's room."

"Sure sir. I will try my best." Jackson replied.

The car reached in front of the hotel after ten minutes. John Smith and Jackson got down from the car. Jackson forwarded towards the reception counter ,whereas John Smith waited on the lounge. Jackson returned to John Smith after half an hour and signalled him to go with him .John Smith nodded and followed Jackson and the hotel staff.

John Smith smiled to see the room number Jackson has showed him. It was room number 298.

'This man is really capable. Lucas is unlucky to dump him.' John Smith thought and entered the room. They saw a few policeman entered the nearby room for their investigation. They thanked the hotel staff.

"Hello mister. Thank you for providing us this room. This is nice room." John Smith said to the hotel staff.

"You are welcome sir. Thank you for choosing our hotel. In this hotel you can get many facilities. You just have to press the bell. We will be here in not time."The man said proudly.
