“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 statement.

Her mind was constantly thinking about the clues in the game. 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 me to change your room?” a cartoonishly handsome 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 came 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 became 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 women 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 game would continue to create value for the system.

Other Inspectors were right. He was indeed a bit overinvested. Moderation in the game, moderation…

The Inspector slowly left the dining room…

The women were eating lunch in Bai Youwei’s room.

Bai Youwei didn’t know how this came 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 times already. Shouldn’t we look somewhere else?”

“Where else?” Hu Ya chimed in, “The Duke left traces of his disappearance on the third floor. We saw it clearly!”

“I know,” Bai Youwei said calmly, “What I meant was, shouldn’t we look for clues somewhere else? After all, we’ve been to the third floor many times. Going there a few more times 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 basement. 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 basement 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 basement?”
