251 What do you want to know?

Jackson smiled and nodded. John Smith knew that he has to collect information about the murder case from the hotel staff. So he instructed Jackson to collect information from them indirectly. If both of would ask him the questions, the person may be suspicious to them. So John Smith left them alone.

"I think now I should leave. You please call me if there is anything you needed. I will send the dinner for two hours. Is it ok with you?" The man asked.

"Yes. That will be great. I have seen some policeman in the next room. God knows what happened there. It will be good to keep ourself in the room for now. Isn't it? By the way, if something bad happened here? Will the police disturb us also? My friend is a very busy man. It would be a headache for him if someone would disturb him. " Jackson said in a worried voice.

"Sir. You don't worry. You checked in this hotel just now and the person in the next room already murdered in the evening, before your arrival. So they will not come to you. You need not worry."The man replied.

"Wh....what did you just said? A mu.....murder? Oh my God. We should not come to this hotel. How can you let people stay in the next room when a person is murdered here already. Do you know the rules and regulations? This is not done. We have to complain to the police about this hotel. How can you do this to us?" Jackson yelled. 

The man paled immediately. He never thought that something like that would be slipped from his tongue. His boss strictly ordered him not to utter a word about the police or murder to the guest. Now, what will he do? If the person in this room complained to the police, then he will be in the wrath of his boss.

'Oh, God. Please save me. What will I do now?' He thought.

"S...sir .please sir. Please do not complain about it to the police. If you complain I would be lost my job. I have a family to look after. Please, sir." The man keeled in front of Jackson and said.

"You have not to kneel. Please get up. I can let you go, but you have to tell me what happened here in details. I am really curious about it. I can let you go to you if you inform me about everything." Jackson replied with a mysterious smile.

"I will tell you everything. What do you want to know? But please don't file a complaint." the man replied.

"Ok. Good then. Now tell me what happened here in the next room?" Jackson asked.

He even had not his lunch or any food here. But he called the reception desk, to supply some wine while he was busy in a meeting. I came to his room with wine and knocked on the door. He opened the door and took the tray from me. I offered to set the table for them, but he did not let me go in. The visitors left after one hour. I saw them from the back. When two of our cleaning staff went to his room to clean, they found the door opened. They called him but got no reply. When both of them entered the room, they found a dead body on the floor." the man explained.

"Oh. So he is dead now?" Jackson asked.

"No sir. I went to the room to have a look. It was a different man. He is one of the visitors to the man." The man whispered to his ear.

"What! How can it be possible? Where is the man now?" Jackson asked.

"Sir I don't know. I think he had left the hotel with two of his visitors and left the dead man here."

"Who is the killer? Do you have any idea?"Jackson asked him in low voice.

"Sir. I don't know. But I think the man who checked in the room is the killer."

"How can you know it?"

"Sir. That person is mysterious. He had entered everything fake in the reception. We called him and our men tried to locate the address he entered here. But there is no one in that address with that name. He must be here to kill the man."

"Oh. It is confusing. I hope the police would find out everything soon." Jackson sighed.

"I hope so."

"One more question. Have you heard them mentioning any name or any place by chance? I am just curious about it." Jackson asked in a curious tone.

"Ah. I do not remember anything clearly. But they were speaking about a forest I think."

"A forest? Which one? Can you remember the name of the forest?" Jackson asked curiously.

"I think it is the Vast Mountain forest. It is the densest forest of Country C. It is a rumour that a lot of terrorist activities were reported from that forest. Even the government could not take so much action on this matter. " Replied the man thoughtfully.
