“Beautiful brides, did you sleep well last night?”
The Inspector stood by the dining table with a smile, his graceful manners unchanged from yesterday.
Bai Youwei wheeled past him, saying lightly, “I didn’t sleep well. The soundproofing is too poor. There was noise all night.”
There was no sarcasm in her words. It was just a simple statent.
Her mind was constantly thinking about the clues in the ga. She really wasn’t in the mood for a verbal sparring with the Inspector.
However, the Inspector took her every word very seriously.
“So, do you need to change your room?” a cartoonishly handso smile crossed his lips. “The third floor is the quietest. Do you want to switch to a room on the third floor?”
The third floor.
Zhao Lanfen had disappeared on the third floor.
Cheng Xi, Hu Ya, Yu Yaqing, Zhu Shu, and Su Man, all changed their expressions, staring at the Inspector with vigilance.
Bai Youwei’s wheelchair ca to a stop.
She frowned, turned her head, and said displeasedly, “Are you brainless? Look at my legs. How am I supposed to get to the third floor? By flying?!”
Inspector: “[Silent]”
Ignoring him, Bai Youwei wheeled to the dining table in a bad mood, ate a few bites, but her expression beca increasingly annoyed.
“I don’t have an appetite; I’ll take these back to my room to eat.”
She brazenly consolidated several dishes onto one plate, put it on her lap, held a tropical fruit platter in her hand, and left the room.
The others followed suit, saying they didn’t have the appetite and needed to eat back in their rooms.
They knew very well that they couldn’t eat dinner tonight, so they all took double or even triple rations for fear of having nothing to eat later.
Soon, there was no one left in the dining room.
Only the Inspector remained.
He watched as the won left, his polite smile freezing at the corners of his mouth as his expression grew colder…
Suddenly, he laughed.
There was no need to be angry.
What if she got an unfair tool? As long as she died here, the mistake would be naturally corrected. And his ga would continue to create value for the system.
Other Inspectors were right. He was indeed a bit overinvested. Moderation in the ga, moderation…
The Inspector slowly left the dining room…
The won were eating lunch in Bai Youwei’s room.
Bai Youwei didn’t know how this ca about.
Maybe because Zhu Shu and Su Man wanted to eat with her, Yu Yaqing wanted to find Su Man. Hu Ya and Cheng Xi followed Yu Yaqing, and it ended up that everyone was gathering and eating in her room.
Yu Yaqing said, “The light was too dim last night, we couldn’t find any clues. After lunch, we should go to the third floor again to see if we can find anything.”
“Going again?” Bai Youwei asked casually while eating, “We’ve been there several tis already. Shouldn’t we look sowhere else?”
“Where else?” Hu Ya chid in, “The Duke left traces of his disappearance on the third floor. We saw it clearly!”
“I know,” Bai Youwei said calmly, “What I ant was, shouldn’t we look for clues sowhere else? After all, we’ve been to the third floor many tis. Going there a few more tis may not yield any results.”
She had always been very calm, so even though Yu Yaqing didn’t particularly like her, she wouldn’t underestimate her, and asked seriously, “Where do you think we should look?”
Bai Youwei said, “I plan to go to the basent. I heard there’s a cage down there.”
Yu Yaqing frowned, “There is indeed a cage, but it’s empty and the other parts of the basent are cluttered with various items, empty bottles, rotten wood, broken cans and the like. We’ve already searched it all.”
“I want to look again,” Bai Youwei answered calmly, “I’ve been thinking about where the locked room is, and then I thought, isn’t the locked room the jail? So, since we haven’t found anything on the third floor, why not take a chance in the basent?”
