Chapter 838 Is there a thief on the plane?

While we were chatting and laughing, the car had already entered the city.

The Hong Kong River is brightly lit under the night sky, with neon lights flickering on both sides of the road. It feels like I have stepped into a movie from the 1990s.

We had dinner at a time-honored restaurant, and the coconut roast chicken lived up to its reputation, with tender meat and a light coconut aroma.

I also had authentic local delicacies such as the Typhoon Shelter series and honey-glazed barbecued pork, which really satisfied our appetites.

"It's almost time," Manager Zhang checked his watch. "We should leave for the airport."

The lights at Hong Kong International Airport were bright. After we got off the car, Manager Zhang said goodbye to us and said to me eagerly, "Ms. Xia, we are short on time this time and don't have time to make more arrangements. Please correct me if there are any shortcomings!"

Looking at his expectant eyes, I understood what he meant, "Manager Zhang, you are so polite. Your arrangements are very good and thoughtful, completely exceeding my expectations!

I will definitely tell him when I get back that the company is lucky to have someone as careful and capable as you!"

As expected, Manager Zhang's smile became more sincere.

After boarding the plane, as soon as our butts touched the seats, we all collapsed in our seats as if our bones had been pulled out.

I got up too early in the morning and didn't take a nap in the afternoon. I'm so sleepy that I'm about to faint.

I asked the flight attendant, "Beautiful lady, how long will we be flying?"

"About ten and a half hours. You'll be almost there after a good night's sleep."

Huang Tianyi yawned and said, "I hope to be in New Zealand when I open my eyes again."

"It's possible we'll arrive before you wake up," Ling Xiuzhi said, looking at his watch, "Ten and a half hours later it will be around seven in the morning, which is noon local time.

The good news is that you'll be able to get off the plane just in time for lunch, but the bad news is that you might not be able to sleep that night because of the jet lag."

"Never mind, I'm going to sleep first." I could barely keep my eyes open, but I didn't forget to send Xiao Shiqiu a message: "Honey, the villa is amazing, I love it! Muah, the plane is about to take off, I'm so sleepy, good night."

His message was replied immediately: "Before, it was still Lao Xiao. When I saw a big villa, I thought it was my dear. Oh, woman! When you come back, we can go to Hong Kong to spend the weekends.

Go to sleep, love you~"

When I woke up again, the cabin was dimly lit and everyone was asleep.

I looked at the flight map on the screen and saw that the plane was over Oceania, approximately over Fiji.

The phone showed it was a little after 4 a.m., meaning we would land in about three hours. Judging by the light filtering through the edge of the window visor, it should be daylight outside.

I was just about to adjust my position and continue sleeping when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark figure standing not far from me out of the corner of my eye.

Judging from his seat, he should be next to Ling Xiuzhi's seat.

Judging from her figure, she doesn't look like a flight attendant. She should be a man. In the dim light, I can tell that the man is wearing a baseball cap.

His hat brim was pulled down low, and he was bending over and groping for something near Ling Xiuzhi's seat.

I woke up instantly and thought, oh shit, could it be that someone in economy class took advantage of everyone's sleep to steal things from first class?

This person probably thinks that those who are willing to spend several times the ticket price to sit in first class should have some valuable things with them.

If I were alone outside, I would definitely pretend not to see this situation, but this was on a plane, and six of the other seven people were in the same group as me, so I was not afraid at all.

I quietly took out my cell phone, quickly turned on the flashlight function, and shone it at the dark shadow.

The man's eyes were dazzled by the dazzling white light. Apparently, he didn't expect someone to wake up suddenly, and his body suddenly stopped.

But he reacted very quickly and lowered his head before I could see his face clearly. The brim of his hat perfectly covered his face, revealing only a tense jawline.

Then, he turned swiftly and walked quickly towards the economy class. Because his movements were too large, he might have accidentally touched Ling Xiuzhi's feet that were stretched out of the seat.

"Hmm...what's wrong?" Ling Xiuzhi woke up in a daze, rubbing his eyes and mumbling softly.

The dark shadow took the opportunity to quicken its pace and disappeared behind the curtain.

I didn't bother to explain and just looked over to confirm that the man had indeed left the first-class area.

Then he leaned closer and whispered to him, "There was someone from the economy class just now, sneaking around your seat. He didn't look like a crew member. I suspect he's a thief."

Ling Xiuzhi's eyes widened instantly, and he sat up straight, lowering his voice and saying, "Damn it! Is this possible? There's a thief on the plane too?"

"Check to see if anything is missing," I reminded him. "If anything is missing, it would be easy to find out with the surveillance cameras on the plane."

Maybe because he just woke up, his eyes were still a little dazed, and he muttered quietly: "I don't have anything valuable on me.

There's no cash in my wallet, and my phone is almost two years old. What else is there on me worth stealing?"

I looked at the Parmigiani watch on his wrist, which was more expensive than my mother's car, and said nothing.

Although he felt that he had nothing to steal, he still picked up the bag beside him and looked through it, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Nothing is missing from it."

He noticed my gaze, glanced at his watch, and said with a wry smile, "I'm so used to wearing it that I forgot about this thing. I guess you came here for this."

I guess so. Watches are valuable and easy to cash in. However, it is indeed difficult to take a watch off someone's hand without being noticed.

"I'm glad nothing's missing," I breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little uneasy. "How about telling the flight attendant to check the surveillance footage to see who was there?"

Ling Xiuzhi thought about it, then shook his head. "That's not appropriate. After all, I didn't lose anything. I can't just insist on getting rid of someone just because they stood next to me. That would make me seem too overbearing."

Still, he lifted his backpack from the seat and stuffed it into the front locker: "It's safer here, just in case."

After putting it away, he lay down again. "Everyone else hasn't woken up yet, don't wake them up. I'm going to sleep too. I'm very sleepy."

I looked at my phone and saw that I could still sleep for three hours. Forget it, I might as well continue sleeping.

When I woke up again, I was awakened by the broadcast in the cabin. The plane was about to land and passengers were asked to prepare in advance.

This time everyone in the first class cabin woke up. They sat up sleepily and took turns going to the bathroom to wash up.

The flight attendant also started walking around to check the situation in the cabin.

I took the excuse that the first-class restroom was occupied and wandered over to the economy class section, hoping to find the guy in the baseball cap.

Unfortunately, there were only two people wearing baseball caps in the cabin, one was a child in his teens, and the other was a fat white man who looked to be about 300 pounds.
