Chapter 1526: Chapter 1526: Predicament
This news was like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake!
Everyone on the entire cruise ship was stunned!
Although everyone wished for the Stan Brothers to die, who would actually dare to do so?! One slight mistake, and it’s not just your own life that’s lost, but your entire family’s!
Gavin and Cherry went out today to play in the water. Therefore, under their coats were thin swimsuits with nowhere to hide a weapon. Although the elevator guards didn’t search their bodies because of this, they forcibly searched Cherry and Purple Summers’ bags.
Cherry was so angry that her face turned white, almost exploding, but was forcibly dragged back to the room by Purple Summers.
After entering the room, she threw the bag onto the sofa forcefully and cursed angrily, “Do I need a knife to kill someone? That’s just underestimating me!”
Purple Summers sat down with a heavy expression, “It looks like if we don’t find the killer, they’ll keep guarding the elevator.”
Cherry got even angrier, “So does that mean I can’t go out and play?!”
Gavin walked to the table, took out a cup and poured water, “The person died in the room. The murderer is either a guest living on this floor or a server with access to this floor. Guarding the elevator now is to prevent the murderer from disposing of the weapon. Even if it’s thrown into the sea, there might still be bloodstains left in the room.”
He brought two cups over and gently placed them in front of Purple Summers and Alexander Summers, continuing, “I estimate that room searches may begin soon.”
Alexander Summers raised an eyebrow irritably and drank the cup of water in one gulp.
Cherry hugged Gavin’s arm, “Gavin, have Lester Williams call people up! They must not search our room!”
Their bodyguards and attendants live in regular cabins below the 10th floor. They usually rotate to be responsible for protection work, and not all follow Gavin around. At present, there are only four bodyguards at home guarding the doors.
Purple Summers disagreed, “Stan is now bent on avenging his younger brother and is in a fit of rage. Whoever stops him from searching the rooms is an accomplice in his eyes for killing his younger brother. I think we should avoid his wrath now, there’s no need for direct confrontation.”
Alexander Summers followed with a deep voice, “Having more people might lead to a conflict, let’s see how things develop. If we find the murderer, this matter will actually be easy to solve.”
But what if they can’t find the murderer?
Everyone’s face looked awful. If they can’t find the murderer, won’t all the guests living on the same floor as the Stan Brothers become suspects?
Purple Summers lightly nudged Cherry, who was sulking beside her, “Aren’t you able to control ghosts? Now that someone has died, can you summon the ghost and ask?”
All at once, everyone’s gaze turned to Cherry.
“Don’t look at me.” Cherry glared and said, “A freshly dead ghost doesn’t have consciousness! It takes a few days to gain awareness and consciousness, and that’s under the assumption of good luck. If luck is bad, the soul could dissipate before regaining consciousness!”
The discussion led nowhere; they could only act according to circumstances for now.
Alexander Summers and Purple Summers returned to their room. Not long after, someone came to search the cabins.
However, the situation wasn’t as bad as imagined because the people from Under The Rose intervened. The search team was composed of both Stan Brothers’ people and the ship’s crew. The entire process was fairly polite and did not recklessly damage items.
But the elevator and emergency passage remained under the control of the Stan Brothers. Without their permission, no one could leave.
Even dinner had to be delivered by servers pushing food carts.
Cherry couldn’t go out to play and was about to suffocate from boredom.
“If we still don’t find the murderer by the time we dock, does that mean we can’t disembark?”
She rolled around on the bed in frustration, fidgeted for a while, then got up to find Gavin, who was handling emails, “Gavin, I’m so bored!”
“Chess?” Gavin pointed to the chessboard on the table.
Cherry shook her head.
“A movie?”
Cherry shook her head.
Gavin thought deeply.
Cherry dug a box of mahjong from the cabinet, “I want to play this.”
