Time passed gradually, but Ethan remained calm while waiting in the lobby.

Caleb, however, returned with a frustrated expression after reviewing the surveillance footage. “Mr. Knight, the surveillance recordings for the Imperial Hotel between 1.00PM and 4.00PM have all been deleted,” he explained, implying that they could no longer check the surveillance recordings between said period.

No matter how many times Alice had entered, they would not be able to check it now.

The woman who went to the service hall arrived at around 2.40PM. The journey from the Imperial Hotel to the service hall would usually take fifteen to twenty minutes.

That being the case, if the person in the service hall was indeed Alice Woland, she would have left the Imperial Hotel around 2.20PM. Yet, the surveillance video that covered that time period had now been deleted. As a result, they would be unable to find out anything.

Ethan’s expression remained calm, as if he was unsurprised by the news. What happened appeared to be within his expectations.

“Mr. Knight, the journey from the service hall to the Imperial Hotel should take about twenty minutes, but it’s been more than forty minutes now…” Caleb was concerned that Ethan was wasting his time waiting for nothing, given that Alice had not returned at this point.

Furthermore, Alice might not even return to the hotel. After all, she was the successor to the Woland Group; there would be plenty of other places for her to stay.

“The fact that the recording was deleted indicates that she did indeed leave, and the time was also within our expectations. Her failure to return only emphasizes her guilt.” Ethan chuckled as he said this. He had anticipated that she might not return, but the more she tried to hide, the more suspicious he became of her.

He was now certain that the person was her.
