Chapter 102: Disappearing Trash Cans

Lin Huanghuang thought, things have found out now that the only clue is one missing trash can.

“The third trash can should disappear with Lin Xin. If you find this trash can, you should find Lin Xin. ”

In reaching this conclusion, Lin Huanghuang once again contacted the security captain, Chen Wei.

“Mr. Lin, we just found the room number of the girl with the ponytail, room 321 on the 9th floor. I've told the girl's father to wait in the room, and we can go now.” As soon as Chen Wei's comms came through, he brought the news.

“Wait a minute about that girl, I've got another clue. An aunt from a nearby store said that there should be three trash cans in this place by around 5: 40 p.m., but there were only two left when we got here. This trash can disappeared exactly as my sister disappeared. So we should see who took this missing trash can. I suspect that the person who took the trash can was the one who took my sister.” Lin Huang provided a new clue. “I'm coming to you now, and I'm going to look at the surveillance footage from around 5: 40 until now. ”

“Okay, then come on over. My two colleagues will stay on the scene and see if there are any other clues around.” Chen Wei nodded.

Hang up, Lin Huang runs straight to the ship's surveillance room.

In the surveillance room, Chen Wei had already transferred the video from that time. When Lin Huang arrived in the surveillance room, he would broadcast the surveillance completely.

The video starts from the moment Lin Xin used to throw the garbage, and continues until Lin Huang and the three of them arrive at the scene.

After watching, a group of people were confused, not even Lin Huang.

“Nobody pushes the trash can away?!” Lin Huang's eyebrows locked tight, and things got more and more lost here.

“Could someone have put the trash can in the storage ring?” A member of the security team suddenly asked.

“No, if Lin Xin disappeared with the trash can, she should have been taken away in the trash can. No type of storage space can be loaded with live animals except for the tame token, which is not valid for humans.” Lin Huang shook his head and rejected this idea. “Besides, nobody gets bored enough to steal a trash can full of garbage without a special purpose. ”

“What now?” Chen Wei felt that things had been found dead and looked at Lin Huang helplessly.

“Now there are only two possibilities, the first of which is that the old lady we met was lying, and she was deliberately disturbing our sights, making up a trash can that didn't exist, and consuming our time. There is also the possibility that a third trash can did appear, although its disappearance somehow avoided the detection of the monitor. ”

“Ask the two colleagues at the scene to ask the other merchants around to see if they noticed this third trash can. Also, during the time my sister disappeared, several people were throwing trash over here, so you can contact them and see if they see this third trash can. ”

Lin Huang doesn't have a clue right now, he even suspects that the fat lady who threw the garbage is lying, but according to common sense, a merchant like them who has been operating on the ship for many years should not do anything to the detriment of tourists.

“What kind of business is that fat lady who just threw garbage?” Lin Huang asked with scepticism.

“Aunt Fatty has been an old merchant on our ship for 26 years. She sells cigarettes and liquor earlier than I did on the ship and there can be no problem. She said if she saw one more trash can, there must have been one more.” Chen Wei knows his fat aunt very well. “She won't lie… but there's a chance she's blinded. ”

“Ask the others first.” Lin Huang nodded and said nothing more.

On the other side of the mall, two security inquiries soon came out, and in addition to Aunt Fatty, the owner of a store also said he saw three trash cans.

Chen Wei contacted several guests who appeared in the video, for a total of six. Three people said they did see three trash cans, two people said they couldn't remember, and one said they saw only two trash cans.

The girl with the ponytail was among the six, and her answer was inconclusive.

“So according to the information that you have now, the third trash can does appear in the dead end of the video.” Lin Huang and they came to this conclusion.

But they have no idea how the trash can actually disappears.

However, according to information provided by several Guests, the trash can disappeared earlier.

Because the only answer to this is that only two trash can Guests appear in the video at 5: 58 PM.

The Guest's answer was also very definite, and his original words were, "Of course I remember only two trash cans, the trash was full, I had to fill the drink cup so easily, will I not remember?! How dare you ask me how many bins I have? Am I bored enough to steal your bins?! ”

“It is now certain that the trash can should disappear between 5: 42 and 5: 58 p.m. But we didn't see the trash can being pushed away from your sister's disappearance at 5: 42 until 6: 23 on the scene.” Chen Wei sat in front of the console in the monitoring room and looked up at Lin Huang beside him. He really didn't know where to start with this matter.

“This suggests a possibility that the person who took my sister took the trash can with my sister, using methods we didn't know about.” Ultimately, Lin Huang can only draw this conclusion.

“The clue is broken...” Chen Wei shook his head and sighed.

“Let's go visit that two-ponytail girl on the 9th floor.” Lin Huang still doesn't intend to give up.

“Well...” Chen Wei knew Lin Huang was reluctant to ask clearly and had to nod his head to agree.

Once again, the girl's father's signal was dialed and the visiting time fixed, Chen Wei arrived at the 9th floor of the ship with Lin Huang and several other security members.

A pedestrian went to room 321 on the 9th floor and rang the doorbell, opening with the girl with the tail on her horse.

“Dad, there's a guest coming.” The girl turned and shouted at the man sitting on the couch.

The man stood up and smiled at several people, "Come in and sit down. ”

Lin Huang only noticed that this man was the one who had previously seen Lin Xin in his white shirt at the door of the floating ladder. Knowing that he had a daughter of Lin Xin's age, Lin Huang's previous slight discomfort finally dissolved. Because he knew that it was normal for parents to look at children their own age.

“Lily, go pour some tea for the guests.” The man commanded.

“Okay, Dad.” The two-ponytail girl walks towards the kitchen.

“Have a seat. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best to cooperate.” A man with a smile all over his face.

“You're welcome, Mr. Wei. We're here mainly to ask you about your daughter. It won't take long. ”

While Chan Wei was talking to him, Lin Huang began to carefully measure him.

This Mr. Wei looks like he was in his early 40s. He is about 1 meter, 8 or 5 years old. He has a beautiful skin and is very attentive to wear. Still wearing a white shirt, black trousers and golden rim glasses, he looks like a scholarly man.

“With all due respect, what does Mr. Wei do?” Lin Huang couldn't help but ask.

“I used to be a teacher, and now I do my own little business.” Mr. Wei nodded to Lin Huang.

“Teacher is a good profession, how can you think of moving?” Chen Wei felt a little envious.

“The profession of teacher is really good, just not very high income.” Mr. Wei smiled.

“Also, people with wives and children are under a lot of pressure.” Chen Wei was quite impressed, and he was about the same age as this Mr. Wei.

“Mr. Wei only took his daughter on this trip? Didn't you bring your wife?” Lin Huang asked.

“Ma'am died many years ago and is now only a daughter.” Mr. Wei shook his head and gave such an answer.

“Sorry.” Lin Huang didn't expect such an answer.

“It's all right, it was many years ago.” Mr. Wei waved.

Lin Huang noticed that he had a green stone ring on his left unnamed finger, and no more questions asked.

It wasn't much of a meeting, and the girl with the tail of her horse showed up with a plate of tea, "Dad, the tea is here. ”

“Just serve it to the Guest.” Mr. Wei nodded.

The girl placed the tray on the coffee table, then split a few cups of tea in front of several people and returned to the man.

“Sit down, Lily.” Mr. Wei sat the girl on his lap.

Lily sat down very nicely, silently.

“Your daughter's tutoring is so good. My daughter and your daughter are about the same age. Don't say tea making. It would be nice to have her come out to meet you and say hello to your aunt and uncle.” Chen Wei was helpless.

“I am a teacher, naturally there is my discipline. You can send your daughter to me if you need me to teach her a few lessons.” Mr. Wei is very enthusiastic.

“That would be too much trouble.” Chen Wei is a little embarrassed.

“No trouble, I have plenty of spare time now. There is still time to help her with her homework and teach her etiquette.” When Mr. Wei finished, he also seemed to feel that the topic was a little remote, and he hastily said, "I almost forgot the business. If you have any questions this time, ask Lily. ”

“Dad...” Lily seemed a little scared of life, knowing that a group of people were looking for themselves, and shrunk to Mr. Wei's arms.

“It's okay, they have any questions, just answer them.” Mr. Wei pressed his hand against Lily's shoulder.

“Don't be afraid, little girl. Uncle's not a bad guy. We're the Spaceship Guard. We're here to keep you safe.” Chen Wei also said comforting words.

“It's all right, you ask, she's just a little scared of being born.” Mr. Wei nodded at Chen Wei.

Chen Wei projected Lin Xin's photo, “Little girl, have you seen this little girl? ”

Lily shook her head with no expression.

Behind her, Mr. Wei hesitated, or asked, "I met this girl at the door of the floating ladder, more than an hour ago. What happened? ”

“This little girl is missing, and we're looking for your daughter now, because she may have seen something.” Chen Wei explained.

“Missing? Isn't there surveillance on the ship?” Mr. Wei picked his eyebrows.

“The surveillance on the ship had several dead spots, and the girl was watching the dead spot disappear.” Chen Wei mentioned this, and the expression on his face was a little embarrassing.

“Well, I hope you find it soon.” Mr. Wei did not pursue the subject any further.

“Little girl, you sat on a bench for drinks around 5: 40 before you, remember?” Chen Wei asked Lily again.

Lily nodded.

“You're sitting right where you can see the trash can, right?” Chen Wei asked.

Lily nodded again.

“Do you remember how many trash cans there are? ”

Lily shook her head, “I don't remember, it seems like two, it seems like three...”

This answer made Lin Huang both frowned. It is possible that the girl was actually on the scene when the trash can disappeared. There were three trash cans in front of her and only two after the third trash can disappeared behind her, so she could not be sure for herself how many she saw.

After asking a few more questions in a row, it was confirmed that Lily knew nothing about the whole thing. Lin Huang left Mr. Wei's room helplessly...
