Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Robert of Tomorrow’s Inn
The next was the third room on the second floor, Room No. 203.
Upon the knock, Mr. Robert opened the door.
Seeing Bai Youwei at his door and the detective standing beside her, he squinted slightly, “What can I do for you?”
Bai Youwei noticed the book in Robert’s hands as she lowered her eyes.
It was an English novel, quite thick.
“Mr. Robert, what a leisure time you’re having~” She said with a smile, “Reading a novel.”
“Just to pass the time,” Robert laughed nonchalantly, “Reading detective novels is a small hobby of mine.”
Probably to avoid raising Bai Youwei’s suspicions, he deliberately spread the book in front of her and said with a smile, “We are not sure how long we will be here, we need to find something to do. If you’re bored, feel free to borrow a book from me.”
Bai Youwei shook her head, “No need~ I can’t read detective novels, the kind I like, you don’t have here.”
“Oh?” Robert asked with a smile, “What genre of books do you like, Miss?”
Bai Youwei replied, “Books where everyone’s life is worse off than mine.”
“Ha~ I am just joking.” Bai Youwei giggled, handing him a note, “We found another note from the vase, can you see what’s written on it, Mr. Robert?”
Robert glanced at the note and saw:
If you look down now, you will find that your fly is open.
This is not a formidable adversary, but someone deliberately messing with him, right?
“What’s wrong, Mr. Robert?” Bai Youwei tilted her head, examining his expression, “Did you figure out anything? What’s written on the note?”
“….Nothing,” Robert’s back teeth clenched, but he forced a friendly smile at the corner of his mouth, “Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out the meaning of these words.”
“Then, sorry to disturb, see you.” Bai Youwei efficiently withdrew her hand and turned to the next room.
Su Man mumbled behind them, “If he couldn’t understand it, why stare at it for so long….”
The smile on Robert’s face grew stiffer.
He watched as Bai Youwei led the others to Room 204, with a sinister look in his eyes.
…Everything was going so smoothly, he didn’t expect this kind of character to suddenly show up, first testing him with text, and now boldly coming to his doorstep, what a nuisance…
However, if she thought she could handle him this way, she was too innocent.
His teammates, although fluent in codes, did not understand Chinese at all…
Bai Youwei and the detective showed the note to everyone in each room, but unfortunately, everyone reacted indifferently, completely unaffected by the words on the note.
The detective was quite disappointed.
But Bai Youwei seemed relaxed, as if the result was expected.
After the detective left, Zhu Shu worriedly asked Bai Youwei, “What now? Are they concealing it too well? I feel like they really do not know Chinese.”
“If they don’t, they don’t~” Bai Youwei shrugged carelessly, “Let’s go back and rest.”
Zhu Shu and Su Man looked at each other in confusion, both puzzled.
Su Man couldn’t help but speed up her steps to catch up with Bai Youwei and ask,”Weiwei, why don’t you seem worried at all?”
Bai Youwei: “Worried? Why would I be worried?”
“Because we can’t find the killer.” Su Man looked distressed, “Now we only suspect that Robert is the problem, then…404 and 205 might be his accomplices, but who are the other two people? Could it be the woman holding the baby? I feel like she’s off, and the Tarot Card woman, she is too odd…”
“We’ll know soon,” Bai Youwei winked at her, “Once I crack the code.”
