Why it never ends

Chapter 497 List
Not far away, Hesta suddenly noticed Si Lei's expression, she stopped talking with Li Ge, "Are you okay, Police Officer Su Lei?"

Li Ke also turned around, "Are you thinking about the banquet at night? You really don't need to be nervous."

Su Lei looked at Hesta, "...Jane, if Tasia is in danger later, will you take the initiative to protect her?"

"Yes." Hesta replied immediately.

"Will you protect her like you protected me tonight?"

"...Why do you ask that?" Hesta was a little puzzled, "Is this person...very important to you?"

Su Lei shook his head, "That's not what it means."

"That……?"

"Maybe I'm a little tired." Su Lei turned around and stretched his muscles, "I'll lie down for a while."

……

At night, the three of them went to the Hard Rock Bar on the -2 floor together.Hesta would look at Su Lei's face from time to time, and quickly moved away before she realized it—for some reason, Su Lei's mood had become a little depressed since Tasia left in the morning, and she didn't open this Hesta didn't mention the topic.

Several people arrived at the destination soon.

Su Lei took the boat card and invitation letter with him, and after explaining his purpose to the bartender, the bartender asked her to wait for a while before walking towards the back kitchen.

Taking advantage of this gap, Hesta and Lico went to look through the guardian registration form mentioned by Su Lei in the morning. However, after turning over the first page, their expressions changed.

Li Ke: "Officer Su Lei!"

Su Lei left from the bar and came to Hesta's side. Before she could ask what was wrong, she had already seen the name of Helen Bastia.

The name landed so clearly on the first page of the guardian list that a risky passenger was under her guardianship at the moment - Gustav.

The registration time is 44:[-] this morning.

"...It's impossible," Su Lei frowned, "This form was empty when I came this morning."

The result itself did not surprise Hestad.Judging from Gustav's performance during today's rally, he is indeed cooperating with Helen intentionally.

"It should have been close to nine o'clock at the time." Li Ke touched his chin and recalled, "If the registration time is real, you should be able to see it."

Hesta looked at Lico, "Do you think the registration time is not credible?"

Li Ke shook his head, "I don't know, and what's the use of changing the time?"

"Or there is another possibility." Su Lei suddenly realized something, "Besides the fifth-floor cabin reception and the second-floor negative mentioned in the rules, there are other places on this ship that can appoint guardians for risky passengers."

Rico and Hesta snorted at the same time.

"If that's the case, then it does make sense," Li Ke continued, "For example, the guardian lists in various places will be synchronized at a certain moment of the day, so before the synchronization, we can't see the changes in other places here. "

"Where is that?"

Several people fell silent.

"And why is it only Gustav?" Li Ke suddenly asked, "Where's Helen's follower—Givey or something? Why didn't she take him into custody?"

"...Maybe it's because Givey's ship is stuck here." Hesta replied.

Hesta said and took out four ship cards from his pocket.

Lico immediately remembered this matter—yes, on the night of Christmas Day, Helen brought Jivi to their room, and Jivi left her ship card before leaving.

"This one belongs to Givey, this one belongs to René, and these two are from René. I haven't checked who they are."

"Do you still have René's ship card?"

"What if it works?"

The bartender in the distance reappeared, and she greeted Si Lei, signaling them to return to the bar.

Several people returned soon.

"A question," Su Lei said nonchalantly, "Aside from here and the front desk on the fifth deck, is there any place on the ship where you can register risky passengers?"

"I don't have the impression..." The bartender recalled for a moment seriously, "But I am not in charge of this part of the work, and I don't know much about it. I suggest you directly ask my colleague who is in charge of this part of the work, maybe she will give you an answer .”

"But it's not her working hours."

"Yes, they are off work now." The bartender smiled and said, "You have to wait."

As he spoke, the bartender took out two small velvet boxes, which contained a pair of earrings and a brooch.

"Please choose one." The bartender said.

Su Lei was a little surprised, "Just choose?"

"of course."

The scepter brooch was held by Su Lei, and a huge sapphire was inlaid on the top of the silver scepter. Even though the light was dim, the gem's facets still shone beautifully.

Su Lei still remembered what happened to Gustav—the kid tried to postpone the banquet at first, but failed for no reason, and finally had to bite the bullet and come here to get the accessories.

However, according to Gustav, only the earrings are ready-made here, and you have to spend time looking elsewhere for the brooch. The bartender can only provide clues...

"Someone told me that I have to find the brooch by myself," Su Lei raised his head, "Why did you just give it to me?"

"How can you bother the guests to find it by themselves? You are so joking," the bartender replied with a smile, "Whether it is a brooch or earrings, they are all gifts specially prepared for our guests, and you can take them away after the banquet."

Li Ke leaned against the table: "...Do you have any ideas about which one to choose?"

"It's fine depending on Ms. Su Lei's personal preference." The bartender replied, she turned her head slightly, "Oh, I just realized that you seem to have pierced ears?"

"Ear piercing done more than 20 years ago, the inside has long grown." Su Lei put the brooch back into the box.

"Can I see it?" Hesta asked.

As soon as Su Lei pushed the small box in front of Hesta, the bartender immediately took it back, "You can only watch, not touch... Officer Su Lei, have you made a choice?"

"Brooch." Su Lei replied.

"Okay," the bartender said softly, "The banquet prepared for you will start at nine o'clock tonight at Bishop's restaurant. You should already know this, please don't forget."

"Okay, I'll be there on time." Su Lei replied in a low voice, "Is there anything else that needs attention?"

"You don't have to be so punctual. If the guests come too early, it will put pressure on the host," the bartender said with a smile. "It is recommended that you be late for a while, preferably 15 minutes."

……

Leaving the -2 floor, it is already 7:22.

At this time, it was not far from nine o'clock, and several people returned to the cabin from the elevator together.

After returning to the room, Hesta looked at the sapphire on the brooch for a while, and finally, her eyes fell on the silver scepter. On the back of the brooch, above the pin, there was a line of raised small characters that caught her attention. Notice.

"Lico, where is your magnifying glass?"
