Chapter 137 - Push Door (1/2)
When they returned to that room, everything still seemed to be the same.
Su Min didn’t know who it was that came in when they left nor did he know what they were doing but that wasn’t something he should worry about right now.
The door could be opened on both sides.
Qin Mu Yin couldn’t wait any longer. He exerted much effort and pulled it away. Dazzling light poured out from within.
Su Min squinted his eyes. After adjusting to the light, he could finally make out the appearance inside.
“Why does it look exactly like our rooms?” Qin Mu Yin couldn’t help but say, “Could this be our room?”
Su Min said: “It’s not ours. It’s theirs.”
The area that could be used on a ship was limited so the rooms are usually of similar design. At most, there would be two different styles. From the looks of it, it seems that all the rooms are the same except for the captain’s room.
At first glance, this room seemed no different from theirs.
There was no one in there for the time being. Perhaps they were lured out by Xia He Yin. Su Min said: “Don’t delay things. Hurry and go in.”
The two went in.
There wasn’t anything on the bed apart from traces of someone sleeping in it. There were some clues hinting that there was someone was staying in the room scattered throughout. It appeared to be occupied by a female.
Su Min suspected that this room may belong to the one with the short hair because he didn’t see any hair ties. The hair left behind on the sink were also short.
There were only a few females on board. Among them, the woman with the short hair left the strongest impression.
Qin Mu Yin didn’t dare lift the blankets. He was afraid that he would not be able to return it to its original location consequently risking them being discovered.
He shouldn’t raise their suspicions.
“The closet here is normal.” Qin Mu Yin opened the closet again, “There are a lot of dresses inside, but they appear to be of different sizes. There are S sizes and even L sizes.”
The difference was too great.
As far as he knew, girls would usually only buy the same size of clothing that would fit them properly. The difference between a size S and a size L was also too large.
Su Min glanced over and answered casually: “It’s probably because it doesn’t belong to the same person.”
Because these clothes belonged to other people, and because most women love to dress up, the short-haired woman may have just picked out the dresses she liked regardless of the size.
Qin Mu Yin sighed: “Her place is too clean.”
Su Min though this too, “Let’s go out and see if we can directly enter the Captain’s room. He should have some clues there.”
Time didn’t wait for anyone.
The corridors were completely dark, but they could tell with their naked eyes that the conditions of their rooms were much better.
They were currently in the middle. There were many rooms on either side of them. They walked all the way to the end and then once again went back to the last one at the end.
The last door appeared to be different from the others.
Su Min pushed. The door was locked. It also appeared to be locked from the outside, so this meant that there was no one inside at the moment.
He didn’t waste time this time and quickly unlocked it. He then pushed the door open and entered.
The captain’s room was extraordinarily luxurious.
The reason why they were certain that it was the captain’s room was because there was a large picture hanging from the wall. The person in it was not someone on this ship but he was wearing the captain’s clothes.
That was probably the captain’s original appearance.
Then the person living here was probably the original captain.
There were various trophies and medals displayed. The rest of the things on the table were related to navigation including a globe and maps.
Su Min walked over to the map and saw a lot of circled red dots. He couldn’t tell where they are now.
“Why is there nothing in this room?”
Qin Mu Yin searched around for a long time before muttering in annoyance.
There weren’t any clues in these rooms. It was too clean. They wouldn’t be able to find anything like this.
Su Min opened a drawer only to find few scribbled notes. When he opened it, he saw that the contents were related to navigation and the weather.
It was important to note that the entry was written 25 years ago.
He could almost be completely certain with his guesses.
Su Min placed everything back in place and closed the drawer. He then heard Qin Mu Yin’s surprised voice: “Come here and take a look.”
The bathroom mirror had disappeared.
Su Min looked at it carefully. It was probably broken a long time ago. Only a small fragment remained stuck on the wall in the corner.
Qin Mu Yin asked nervously: “How was it broken?”
Su Min guessed: “Maybe he broke it himself because he didn’t want to see his current appearance.”
He just wanted to see his original appearance and that was why he hung up a photo of himself from 25 years ago.
Perhaps subconsciously, he still desired his original looks.
Qin Mu Yin felt a little scared.
Just as he was about to say something, footsteps were heard outside.
“Someone’s coming.”
As soon as Su Min said that, they quickly left the bathroom. They looked over at a blank area near the bed and pushed against it. A door immediately opened.
Sure enough, that door led them back to that empty room.
The two hurried inside and hid in the passage. This time, Su Min and Qin Mu Yin didn’t leave.
After waiting for a while, the door opened, and someone came in. The sound of footsteps increased. There were at least five or six people.
Su Min quickly did a head count. There were seven people.
The captain with his big belly stood at the front while the others stood in the centre, “Hui Hui, is it about time?”
Right now, he looked completely different from his usual smiling demeanour.
The short-haired woman was called Hui Hui. When she heard him ask, she nodded and said: “It’s tomorrow for me so I’ll take action tonight.”
