What made her suspicious of that man?
A girl was sitting in her hotel room when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and found that a man was standing outside.
The man said, “Oh! I am really sorry, I thought this was my room.”
He then walked through the corridor to the elevator. The girl did not know the man. She closed her door and called the security asking them to apprehend the man.
What made her suspicious of that man? He might have been genuinely mistaken.
The suspicion was natural. If the man thought the room was his, he would have tried the keys and not knocked on the door.
The man’s explanation – that he thought it was his room – sounds suspicious, but the statement in itself need not necessarily be a reason for raising an alarm, because the statement could be true. (Consider the situation wherein the man had gone out leaving his wife / someone else in the room. Then he needn’t have the key with him. He comes back and knocks the wrong door by mistake.) A better reason for suspicion is that after giving his ‘explanation’,he walked to the elevator (to go to a different floor, may be.) It seems less likely that he might go to the wrong floor AND wrong room. (Of course, even that is not outright impossible.)
