Chapter 132 -132 Test Makeup
Five minutes later!
A woman pushing a cart, dressed in hotel cleaning staff uniform, exited the elevator, followed the fifth-floor corridor, and headed straight for Room 512.
Seeing this scene through the surveillance footage, Wang Qiang furrowed his brow, immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, pressed the talk button, and shouted, “Stop!”
Before Wang Qiang finished speaking, the cleaner immediately stopped, looking puzzled at the surveillance camera.
“Have you forgotten the basic principles of undercover investigation?”
“As a criminal investigator, how can you be so unprofessional during an undercover operation?”
...
Wang Qiang rebuked through the walkie-talkie.
“Team leader, have I been exposed?”
The cleaner asked softly, pressing against the collar.
“Not yet, but if you go directly to Room 512 like this, you will definitely get exposed.”
Wang Qiang said admonishingly with irritation.
“What?”
A puzzled voice came through the walkie-talkie.
“You are now supposed to be a room service cleaner, and there were so many rooms before Room 512, yet you didn’t knock on any of their doors and went straight for 512?”
“Do you think everyone else is deaf or a fool? Can’t they hear the noises in the corridor?”
Wang Qiang sternly scolded the subordinate disguised as a cleaner.
“I’m sorry, it was my oversight.”
Hearing Wang Qiang’s words, the cleaner quickly apologized.
“I do not wish to see similar mistakes again!”
“If it happens again, just leave the Major Case Unit and report to the logistics department.”
Wang Qiang coldly stated.
“Yes!”
“I assure you, it won’t happen again!”
The cleaner’s voice came through the walkie-talkie.
“Good, proceed!”
Wang Qiang ordered with a heavy tone.
“Yes!”
The cleaner responded, then pushed the cart to the door of Room 502, reached out to knock on the door and called out, “Hello, room service.”
“No need!”
An impatient voice came from Room 502.
“Sorry to disturb you.”
The cleaner immediately apologized.
Wang Qiang, monitoring the surveillance in real-time, showed a satisfied expression.
This is more like it.
Undercover investigation should create authentic deception.
Only when you fully immerse yourself in the character can the suspect find it harder to notice any slip-up.
If you are convincing enough, truly seeing yourself as the role you’re playing, only then are you qualified to fool those sly foxes.
Undercover investigation is very dangerous.
Becoming careless can lead to fatal encounters with violent criminals, which is why Wang Qiang was so furious.
He definitely didn’t want his team members to lose their precious lives because of unprofessionalism during an undercover operation brought on by negligence.
“Knock knock knock~”
The cleaner, pushing the cart, moved to the door of Room 503 and knocked on the door again.
“Hello, room service.”
The cleaner shouted into the room.
“Just a moment!”
A voice came from inside Room 503.
“Click!”
The door to Room 503 opened, revealing a slender girl standing timidly inside.
“Auntie, could you help me throw out the trash?”
The girl said in a crisp voice.
As she spoke, she handed a black trash bag to the cleaner.
The cleaner took the trash bag and casually threw it into the garbage can on the cart, then took out a new trash bag from the cart’s compartment, smiling and saying, “Guest, let me change it for you.”
“No need, I can do it myself.”
“Thank you, Auntie~”
The girl took the trash bag and said with a smile.
“Alright, then I won’t disturb your rest.”
The cleaner said with a smile.
“Mm, please go ahead, Auntie.”

The girl responded and closed the door with a trash bag in hand.
“Phew~”
The housekeeper exhaled and turned towards room 504’s door.
“Knock knock knock~”
“Hello, guest room service~”
The housekeeper called out to room 504, well-practiced.
After a while, with no response from inside room 504, the housekeeper furrowed her brows; she picked up the walkie-talkie, which allowed direct communication with the hotel front desk
“This is fifth floor housekeeping, checking the occupancy information for room 504. Is the guest in their room?”
“The guest from room 504 has gone out, why don’t you come back later for the room service.”
These words came from the hotel front desk through the walkie-talkie.
“Alright!”
The housekeeper replied and put down the walkie-talkie.
“Rooms 505 and 506 are unoccupied; next up is 507.”
The housekeeper picked up a room occupancy sheet and read it out intentionally.
Pushing the cart, she arrived in front of room 507, stretched out her hand, and knocked on the door: “Knock knock knock~”
“Good morning, room service.”
Lying in bed and daydreaming, Fang Xiaocao immediately jumped up from the bed at the sound of the knock, looking warily at the door.
“Could it be the Assassin?”
Fang Xiaocao whispered to herself.
“It probably isn’t…”
“After all, the Assassin doesn’t know I’m staying here.”
Immediately, Fang Xiaocao shook her head, dismissing the thought.
“Thank you, but I don’t need service.”
Fang Xiaocao deliberately feigned a husky voice while yelling towards the door.
“Okay, sorry to disturb you.”
The housekeeper smiled back from outside the door.
The housekeeper moved on to room 508 and knocked: “Knock knock knock~”
“Hello, guest room service.”
“No, thank you.”
A girl’s voice, very similar to Fang Xiaocao’s, came from inside room 508.
Room 507!
“Damn.”
“There’s someone in room 508?”
Fang Xiaocao was startled by the voice outside her door and murmured to herself.
Fang Xiaocao hadn’t expected that Wang Qiang would again have someone on stakeout in room 508.
Room 512.
As soon as the knock on 507’s door sounded, Axi became vigilant, sticking close to the door to eavesdrop.
When Axi heard the voice from room 508, a hint of smugness appeared in his eyes.
“Who would have thought… Fang Xiaocao had checked into 508 long ago.”
Axi murmured to himself.
“Okay, sorry for the intrusion.”
The housekeeper said politely.
“Rooms 509, 510, and 511 are empty for now, so next up should be room 512.”
The housekeeper muttered to herself, looking at the occupancy sheet in her hand.
Axi, who had been intently listening for noises in the hallway, was shocked when he heard the housekeeper mention room 512. He hurried back to the bed to sit, attempting to look like a child.
“Knock knock knock~”
“Hello, hotel service.”
Under Axi’s anticipatory gaze, the housekeeper finally knocked on room 512’s door.
“Auntie, my mom isn’t here; could you come back later?”
Axi pinched his voice, trying to sound as much like a child as possible, while responding to the housekeeper outside the door.
“Well then, I’ve disturbed you, kid.”
The housekeeper replied, without lingering, pushing her cart down the hallway, knocking on each occupied room, announcing room service.
Relieved to hear the housekeeper moving away, Axi turned off the gun’s safety and slid it back into the holster on his belt.
Pushing her cart, the housekeeper visited every occupied room on the fifth floor, made her rounds, and left the floor with half a bucket full of trash.
