Chapter 1936 - Cadaver (2/2)
“I’m not too interested in the facilities. Is my room the one ahead of us?” the woman asked.
“Yes, but before you go into your room, can you explain what’s inside the oversized luggage? Our scan indicates it’s something that needs extra attention,” the manager said.
“Let’s discuss it inside the room. Whenever someone asks about my occupation, they are willing to listen to me even if they aren’t interested in me. It might take some time, so if you have some time to spare…” the woman said.
“I’m a little busy indeed, but I can just assign the others to take over my job. However, I’m still in the middle of my shift, so I have half an hour at most,” the manager said with a smile.
“Oh, I see, half an hour… that’s plenty of time!” the woman said thoughtfully before closing the door.

The manager politely took his hat off after going inside the room, revealing a handsome face.
“Is here good enough?” the manager asked.
“Of course, I like going straight down to business,” the woman reached behind her neck and untied the knot of her dress.
“Oh, I think you’ve misunderstood. What I meant was, can you tell me more about your luggage for now? As for other matters… I believe we can arrange it for another time when we are freer. Half an hour isn’t enough,” the manager quickly said.
“I almost forgot. Actually, my occupation is a little unique. It might scare you if I tell you about it,” the woman said.
“I’m not that ignorant either,” the manager said.
“My luggage has a dead body in it!” The woman poured herself a glass of water. She took a sip from it while observing the manager’s reaction.
“Dead…body?” The manager was surprised. He did not expect that explanation.
“Do you still want to hear about it?” the woman asked.
“Of…of course, I don’t think we would allow someone to bring a dead body onto the cruise,” the manager said.
As a matter of fact, their scans had already detected something like a human figure inside the huge luggage, so he was told to ask the woman for more details.
“Don’t worry, I’m not a murderer. I normally work on specimens, mostly human bodies. I have an international license for it. I go around the world to look for cadavers in good conditions and preserve them with advanced methods before storing them in boxes that you won’t be able to open so easily… oh, you can think of them as caskets, but we usually call them preservative boxes. If you were a medical person, you would know how valuable an undamaged cadaver is. The specimen I’m bringing along is absolutely perfect, the best that I’ve collected over the years. I believe it will help a lot with my current research. I’m in a great mood, which is why I’ve decided to take your cruise liner back to Japan,” the woman stated.
