Chapter 26: Deduction

In the sky at dawn, clouds gathered to build a castle in the air. The castle referred to a mirage, and Hailou meant mirage.

Later on, Zhang Haiyan was very grateful for his salty nickname. Otherwise, his life may not be what he wanted if it was like a mirage.

Zhang Haiyan walked out the door. It was sunny outside the cabin and there were already children playing on the deck. He could see the sea from the corridor, and the sunlight reflecting off of it was so bright that it was impossible for people to look at it directly.

He could also see the deck from the corridor. If those corpses hadnt been thrown into the water yesterday, they probably would have been discovered by the guests passing by in the corridor, and those peoples plan would have already begun.

There was nothing but some blood-like stains on the deck in front of him. They werent very noticeable from this height, and looked more like rust.

He was in a good mood as he faced the sea breeze and sorted out his thoughts.

He had no confidence that He Jianxi could guard Steven properly. Steven was a shrewd man and He Jianxi definitely wasnt on par with him. But he believed that He Jianxi could hold out for at least an hour. It wouldnt be a big problem. Zhang Haiyan only needed an hour.

First and foremost, his top priority was that woman.

When he was eavesdropping yesterday, the other party had mentioned a causal relationship: if it hadnt been for someone spreading wudou disease in the South Sea, Miss Dong wouldnt have appeared.

In other words, the plague was merely a plot to lure this woman out?

It was estimated that thousands of people in the South Sea had died from the plague. If it was just to lure her out, then what was her background?

Thank you. Im sorry for causing you trouble. Ill wait for you here. As soon as Zhang Haiyan nodded, the waiter trotted off and soon returned with the key.

Zhang Haiyan did the math. The key room was at the bow of the ship in the middle of the crew's quarters, which the waiter had to access using the ladder on deck. It had taken about ten minutes for the waiter to run over and come back.

If he was Miss Dong and knew that he had to find someone to protect him, he would definitely live on the fourth floor of the first-class cabin, which was the top floor of the ship.

Since the waiter took ten minutes to get to the key room, it may only take three minutes at most to travel from the third floor to the fourth floor.

The three floors could be reached easily, but those killers just couldnt make it through the last three minutes needed to reach the fourth floor?

Why?

He moved his feet in the direction of the fourth floor. Since he was now disguised as Steven, he shouldnt be stopped by any guards.

When he reached the fourth floors stairway and didnt see any guards, he turned his head and looked around.

He immediately knew which room was Miss Dongs, because there were more than twenty American guards sitting at the door with submachine guns. They all had their eyes closed, and were resting. He could tell at a glance that they had excellent skills.

When he walked over to the guards, someone immediately picked up their gun. Steven, answer this question. Why did the white swans father disappear after swimming in the Mississippi?

Zhang Haiyan was taken aback for a moment, and the other party said, You have to answer immediately. Otherwise, well have to shoot you. With that said, he pulled the gun's bolt back. Three, two, one.
