The crew left, and Si Lei announced that this was the end of today's regular meeting, but everyone sat in their seats and no one got up. Xiao
"Do you have any questions?"
"Officer Si Lei," one of them raised his hand, "Where are Ms. Hesta and Ms. Rico? Why didn't they... come today?"
Si Lei looked at him: "They will never attend regular meetings like this in the future."
"What..." The man stood up, "Why!"
"As the judge, Ms. Hesta has a heavy task on her shoulders. There are always more important things to deal with," Si Lei replied, "But don't worry, she will come when necessary."
…
In the room, Hesta was leaning on the bed, reading the book "The Awakening of Males" that she got from Anna. Rico was lying next to her, sleeping lightly with his eyes closed. Xiao
Suddenly, Rico turned over.
"...Si Lei seems to be back."
Sure enough, the sound of Si Lei's footsteps could be heard outside.
"Okay, it's all over," Si Lei pushed open the door and walked in. "What on earth were you doing all morning? Why did so many crew members suddenly-"
Li Ge suddenly patted Si Lei's shoulder from the side. Si Lei instinctively wanted to draw his gun. Li Ge quickly hugged her waist, "It won't happen, it won't..."
"Lego!"
Li Ge laughed out loud, "Did it scare you?"
Si Lei shook his head and closed the door again.
She sat down, drank a glass of water, and quickly summarized everything that had happened at Bishop's this morning.
"How come you have Helen's ship pass?" Si Lei asked, "And the brooch that Tasia gave to Philip last night...did you get it this morning?"
"Here is the brooch that Tasia gave to Philip last night." Hesta took out a palm-sized plastic bag from his pants pocket and threw it to Si Lei - Si Lei took it with both hands and saw a huge sapphire fragment. It broke into several small pieces, and the silver ornaments on the brooch were also torn apart.
"The one you asked the crew to send to you this morning is new," Hesta replied, "The one Philip wore last night is damaged."
"……what happened?"
"Is Philip okay? Did you stop by to see him when you came back?"
"It's not good. He doesn't dare to see people now. He must have been frightened by what he saw after he and Tasia got separated last night."
Rico and Hesta looked at each other.
"If you don't dare to see anyone, then it's even more impossible to ask questions..."
"I'm sure I can't ask anything now. Wait, give him some time to reply," Si Lei replied, "But he's not injured. Several of his friends have already checked him out... Did you rescue him?" "
"We can't say rescue," Rico replied. "We met him this morning. There happened to be a crew passing by nearby, and we asked them to send him back - he must have been on the fourth deck for the entire last night. night."
"Fourth deck?" Si Lei recalled this special location keenly, "Did you go there together this morning?"
"Yes, but when Hesta and I went there, the entire fourth deck was still empty, and he was the only one sleeping on the ground." Rico replied, "We guess that the real fourth deck should also have its own opening hours. , or other entry conditions."
"Furthermore," Hesta continued, "I have applied for temporary guardianship and registered Helen as my temporary risk passenger."
Si Lei couldn't help but be stunned.
"No wonder the crew member said today that the custody relationship between Helen and Gustav has been temporarily terminated..." Si Lei suddenly realized, "But how did you get her ship card?"
"It was also an accident," Hesta replied. "Last night after you took those passengers to the temporary shelter, I went around the confinement room and found that someone had been arrested. I saw among the things that the crew found. With ship card No. 62, we were able to confirm that the person arrested was Helen."
Li Ge's throat moved and his eyes turned to Si Lei.
"Then you get it
Got her own ship card? "
"Yeah." Hesta nodded. Xiao
"How long is this "temporary"? "
"Three days." Hesta replied, "But I can renew it after three days. The initiative is entirely mine."
"...Even if the ship card has been returned to Helen, is this still the case?"
"right."
Si Lei frowned and fell into deep thought.
Rico sat between the two of them, and every time one of them spoke, her eyes would turn to that person, changing like this.
At this moment, the room became quiet again, her throat couldn't help but move again, and she glanced in Hesta's direction from the corner of her eye. Xiao
Hesta raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression as calm as ever.
"But you specifically asked Tasia to confirm Helen's ship card number yesterday..." Si Lei spoke slowly, and she considered her words, "Even if the number she brought back was Gustav's, You’re not particularly disappointed either.”
"Just giving it a try." Hesta whispered, "I didn't have high hopes for Tasia."
"...I thought you were confirming whether Helen would carry Gustav's ship card with her?"
Rico took a deep breath involuntarily.
"That's right," Hestad replied quickly, "so when I saw the ship card last night, I was sure that the person imprisoned was Helen and not Gustav."
"Then why are you..." Si Lei's expression was a little subtle, "Are you hiding something from me, Jane."
"What?" Hesta opened her eyes slightly, "What's the matter?"
Si Lei looked at her, "...Some things I don't know."
"I don't understand..." Hesta also looked directly into Si Lei's eyes, "What if-"
Before Hesta finished speaking, Si Lei suddenly shook her head. She raised her hand and laughed softly, "...Don't worry, it should be my problem. Sometimes I think too much."
The two chatted for a while, and then there was another knock on the door. Si Lei went out to check, and only Hesta and Li Ge were left in the room.
"..." Hesta and Rico breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and lay down on the bed together.
"When are you going to tell her about the prohibited and restricted items registration form?" Rico asked. Xiao
"...Anyway, wait a minute," Hesta closed her eyes, "If Si Lei knew that I directly added the brooch that Philip wore to the registration form last night, she would be furious."
"I feel that Si Lei will know it soon," Li Ge said in a low voice, "This person is really too keen."
Rico tilted his head, "How much do you think the number of risky passengers on the ship will increase after today?"
"It's hard to say," Hesta whispered.
She glanced at the cover of "The Male Awakening" not far away, but what she was thinking about was another thing - if some of Roboglier's theories were true, then the next time she saw Tasia, she would still With so many followers of Robbeglier, the courtesy and slander she will receive will be intense beyond imagination...
