110 Engagement Party 4 (2/2)
After opening the door, a strong musty stench filled up their nostrils making them cover their nose and mouths instantly. The cleaning lady had asked Ya Nuo again before she left, ”Miss, are you sure you don't need any help looking for your engagement ring in this room?”
Ya Nuo thanked her for offering help, but she could look for it herself. Before she left, the cleaning lady had placed a piece of wooden block on the floor so that the door won't close on its own. She also handed Ya Nuo a mask to cover her face from the dust in the room.
Ya Nuo turned on the lights to get a better view of the room. When the lights flickered on, she regretted her decision. She saw thick layers of dust on top of many tightly closed cardboard boxes that were on top of one another, floating particles of dust in the air, stacks of untidy documents with infested paper mites and a broken window that is probably used to ventilate the room.

She whispered silently to herself, ”Damn, and I thought the underground attics were bad. This could be as bad as the attics. Now, why would Mei Ching want to come into a disgusting room like this? What did she have to do?”
She quickly scanned the room for anything irregular or anything that looked misplaced. In a split second, she already noticed traces of string like trails on the piled up dust by the window. The window was broken, so it opened barely halfway.
”Hmm... this is not enough to fit a grown up woman, so she couldn't have climbed out to the restroom. What are these trails? It stops when it reaches the restroom window... so there must have been something at the end of the string, but what?”
She thought of what happened before Mei Ching went into the room and after she left the room.
”Right! Her hands were empty. This means that she never brought anything in and out of this room, so the evidence must be still here. Since she came in here recently, and there are stringy trails, then the place she touched while being in here would have less or no dust at all!”
She looked at the areas by the window and boxes that were opened. Finally, at a hidden corner, she found an opened box filled with supplies. She found strings with dust residues on it, and some white handprint wall decorations and transparent posters.
”Oh? But then... What could she have done with these? Why did Gu Wing get that scared for? These are just regular supplies that anyone could find anywhere. I guess I'll have to come back here later. If I stay any longer, people will wonder where I went. Now just one more place to go to now... the bathroom.”
