Chapter 435: Chapter 314: The Dismemberment Case_2

Xiao Yi found this to be somewhat troublesome; he thought he might just feel around for the body first and investigate more seriously later.

No, it wasn’t that he was slacking off—it was more about conserving his energy to deal with truly important matters.

Then, just when Xiao Yi was planning this, he heard Wei’er say to him,

"Xiao Yi, come with me to investigate and look for Lin Huixue in that area over there."

Xiao Yi: "...Ah?"

Xiao Yi didn’t really have any objections to this, nor a reason to refuse, but... working with someone else meant that his own actions would be supervised by another, which made him feel somewhat helpless.

Regardless, Xiao Yi ended up going with Wei’er to a part of the area to search.

The area they headed to was on the other end of the cabin.

Just then, the dining cart was parked at the end of the hall in front of them, and it looked like it had crashed into the wall at the end of the hall due to the shaking of the ship and was now twisted.

"So..." Wei’er said, "I’ll start investigating from the rooms inside, and Xiao Yi, you start from the rooms outside."

"...Okay." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Good, let’s get started then." Having said that, Wei’er walked towards the room at the end of the hallway, turning her head to hurry Xiao Yi along, "Xiao Yi, hurry up and get moving too."

"..." Xiao Yi too reluctantly entered the other rooms.

However, Xiao Yi just opened the doors, walked in, took a quick look around, and came back out.

In this way, Xiao Yi quickly checked each room in the area.

Soon, he had finished checking all the rooms in this area and then came to the room at the end of the hallway.

"..." Xiao Yi immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

"...Wow!" Wei’er, who was standing inside the room, was startled by the door opening and immediately turned to look at the doorway.

Seeing that it was Xiao Yi who entered, she showed a helpless expression again.

"So it’s you... Weren’t you supposed to be checking the other rooms? How did you end up here?" Wei’er asked.

"I’ve finished checking." Xiao Yi said, "That person named Lin something isn’t here."

"...Ah?" Wei’er was startled, "You’ve already finished checking? But... aren’t there many rooms? How did you check? You didn’t just glance around and leave, did you?"

"What else?" Xiao Yi said, "Each room is only so big, a few glances is about enough. This room you are in is the same, so big, there is nothing here, a few glances are enough to confirm it. She wouldn’t possibly be intentionally hiding to play hide and seek with us, right? So yeah, a few glances to confirm she isn’t here is enough."

"This..." Wei’er’s mouth twitched a bit, "Indeed, you make sense, but... I still feel we should carefully investigate."

Then, Wei’er continued, "Although you’ve already checked, I still want to investigate here a bit more, Xiao Yi... why don’t you go and see how everyone else is doing."

Wei’er seemed to have no other choice but to say this to Xiao Yi.

"...Is that so?" Xiao Yi was quite willing to comply, "Then I’ll leave now."

Having said that, Xiao Yi left the spot.

Actually, Xiao Yi didn’t think Lin Huixue was here, which is why he didn’t intend to waste time and energy on this place.

After all, the last place Lin Huixue was seen was probably near the kitchen, which was in the complete opposite direction from this room at the end of the hallway.

Moreover, when the ship shook, the door of the room Xiao Yi was in was open all the time, and Xiao Yi had been constantly watching the doorway, with no one passing by.

Besides walking down that corridor, there was no other way to get here, so Xiao Yi didn’t think Lin Huixue would be here.

So, Xiao Yi left.

Soon, Xiao Yi saw Hart and Leaf’s figures standing in the corridor.

Leaf still looked uneasy, while Hart was constantly stroking his chin, seemingly still pondering something.

Seeing Xiao Yi arrive, Leaf immediately rushed over and asked him:

"How is it? Did you find her?"

"..." Xiao Yi didn’t say a word but shook his head in response.

"..." So be it." Leaf’s face darkened again.

"Then, what about you?" Xiao Yi looked back at Hart and asked, "Did you find anything over here?"

"No, nothing at all," Hart replied.

"Is that so?" Xiao Yi continued, "You seemed lost in thought just now. What were you thinking about?"

"It’s nothing..." Hart shook his head, but then he paused, reconsidering, and said to Xiao Yi, "Actually, I’ve always had this strange feeling, like something is off, but I can’t quite put my finger on it, so I don’t know how to explain it to you."

"A feeling that something is off?"

"Yes," Hart replied, "For instance... this storm came so suddenly, and it left just as quickly. I just went out to the deck and noticed that the storm clouds had completely disappeared. That was too fast, unusually so."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yi nodded. "That is indeed strange. However, I’m not very knowledgeable about meteorology."

"I don’t understand it either," Hart added. "So I’m not sure how to explain our current situation or if it’s normal. But... I guess this isn’t the time to worry about these details."

While saying this, Hart glanced at Leaf and continued:

"For now, let’s just try to find Lin Huixue’s whereabouts. Since we can’t find her anywhere inside the cabin, let’s... search the deck outside, though it might be a long shot. We still have to look."

"Uh... sure."

Just then, Wei’er came back.

"How did it go?" Xiao Yi asked. "Did you find anything?"

"Not..." Wei’er sighed, "I searched carefully again and still found nothing."

At that moment, Hart said, "Anyway, we’re going to search outside next. Do you want to join us?"

"Sure... since we can’t find her inside, let’s go outside and look."

Wei’er nodded without refusal.

Then, she looked at Leaf, who looked distressed, moved forward, patted her on the back, and said:

"Don’t worry, we will definitely find her."

"Thanks..." Leaf managed a forced smile.

Right at that moment, from the depths of the corridor, a sharp, childlike scream suddenly rang out!

Although the scream lasted only a moment, it undoubtedly captured everyone’s attention!

"What...what’s going on!?"

Everyone sensed something was wrong and hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound!

Soon, everyone discovered something horrifying. At the end of the corridor, blood was seeping continuously from underneath a door.

"...!"

Hart, startled, quickly opened the door, and everyone else also rushed into the room.

Then, a scene no one could easily forget appeared before everyone.

Lin Huixue was there in the room, watching everyone.

Only... she could no longer speak because now... she was left with only a head.

Lin Huixue’s head was placed on the table, facing the doorway, her eyes filled with horror.

Following that, everyone discovered that the other parts of Lin Huixue’s body had also been evenly dissected and arranged around different parts of the room.

She... had been dismembered.
