Chapter 267 The Thief Escapes

Unlike what he had seen before, the trash can in this cubicle was overturned, and the paper inside was half piled on the floor. Yellow water with an unknown smell dripped on the edge of the toilet bowl in twos and threes, irritating people's eyes and noses.

Yuzhuo remembered that when he entered this compartment before, it was cleaner than the others.

There was a trash can with no paper in it, and the ceramic lid behind the toilet was clean and bright. Yu Zhuo pressed the flush button of each cubicle, and only the water in this cubicle was relatively clear.

So clear that there is no yellow tint at all.

There was a lot of noise in the bathroom. The nurses who had just come in looked confused and lowered their heads to whisper.

"Who is he and what happened?"

"There are guards downstairs. I heard that Prince Rayleigh's gem was lost. What a big scene..."

"Who would hide the gem in the hospital? Could the thief be a doctor in our hospital?"

"Don't talk nonsense! This is a serious crime..."

Yu Chengyang brought his men here soon. The number of guards who could enter the seventh floor was limited, so they could not go deeper and just cordoned off the bathroom.

"Did you find it? Where is it?" Yu Chengyang covered his mouth and nose. He scanned the people inside and said in a bad tone, "Don't tell me you were just free and sent a signal for fun."

Yu Zhuo turned around, glanced at the dirty tissue on the ground, and pressed the flush button on the back again.

The water in the water tank rushed down quickly. Unlike what Yu Zhuo remembered, the color of the water this time was the same as the other compartments, slightly yellowish.

Yu Zhuo already understood most of the situation. Seeing Yu Chengyang standing at the door of the compartment, he simply made room for him.

"Captain Yu, I guess... I'm just guessing that the gems may be in this water tank." Yu Zhuo pressed the button on the top with his palm and said, "But I'm not sure whether the gems inside are intact."

Yu Chengyang frowned: "What do you mean?"

Yuzhuo said nothing more. He asked someone to close the windows and door of the bathroom. After the lights were turned off, Yuzhuo removed the lid of the water tank at the back.

A faint light slowly overflowed from inside. Yu Chengyang immediately took a step forward and saw four or five round, pure white jade stones placed in the water. The water surface was yellowish, and there were tiny cracks on the edges of these jade stones.

Yu Chengyang cursed secretly: "That damn thing actually opened the safe?!"

The seawater in the safe is the only liquid that can preserve the deep sea Akashi.

Deep-sea Akashi cannot be taken out of the water and has extremely high requirements for water quality. After being taken out of the sea water, even if they are put into clear tap water again, they will slowly crack due to not adapting to the environment.

Yu Chengyang immediately called the guards waiting outside and asked them to bring up the storage boxes that had been prepared earlier.

There was prepared sea water in the box, and if we could get Akashi out now, there might still be hope of saving him.

"That damn thing, if the Mingshi is broken, we're all doomed. His Majesty is not someone you can fool!" Yu Chengyang said angrily, "How could he stuff the gem in here?"

Yu Zhuo stood aside silently without saying a word.

The thief hid the Akashi in a water tank. Perhaps he also wanted to preserve the gem, so he filled it with sea water.

Unexpectedly, when Yu Zhuo went in to check, he directly used sea water to flush the toilet, causing the water inside to turn into turbid yellow water.

The gemstone would soon break after being washed by the yellow water several times, so the thief could only make the toilet cubicle dirty and smelly to prevent others from coming in.

——Until the operation is over. After the operation is over, this thief who is good at disguise can follow the nurse in and then find an excuse to stay in the cubicle.

He could wait inside until all the guards were gone.

After all, Yu Zhuo had already checked here.

Looking at the crowd around him, the male nurse who was holding up his pants was nowhere to be seen.

"Let's take Akashi away first. The damage isn't serious now, maybe it can be repaired." Yuzhuo said.

"I know." Yu Chengyang frowned and sighed. He saw Yu Zhuo walking out, paused and followed him, "You said you are not a thief, then where is he?"

"Uh..." Yu Zhuo didn't expect Yu Chengyang to have such high hopes for him. He spread his hands and said, "I can only find the gem at most. The thief ran away too quickly. I can't find him. Besides, isn't that your mission?"

Yu Chengyang curled his lips: "I'm just asking you, I will find him myself later."

"Okay." Yu Zhuo walked down the stairs. "Where's the Earl?"

"Still resting downstairs."

Yu Zhuo nodded. As he walked, he felt a gaze following him and raised his eyes to look upwards.

Li Su stood in front of the glass window on the upper floor. He stood straight with his hands in the pockets of his white coat, looking at Yu Zhuo with a dull expression.

They looked at each other for a few seconds, then Li Su looked away and walked into the lounge next to them.

"What are you looking at?"

Yuzhuo heard the sound and turned around to find that he had reached the edge of the corridor. Zhou Yanshu, who had a small blanket covering his legs, was sitting not far away. He coughed when he saw Yuzhuo.

Yu Zhuo raised his eyes: "How did you know I was here?"

He didn't take the same path as before, and he wasn't planning to go back to find Zhou Yanshu.

Zhou Yanshu said simply: "I just happened to pass by."

He looked at Yu Zhuo and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm not planning on doing anything, I just want to prove my loyalty to you." Yu Zhuo walked behind Zhou Yanshu, pushing the wheelchair and moving forward with him.

"Really?" Zhou Yanshu turned his head, "How do you prove it?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

Yu Zhuo and Zhou Yanshu went to the first floor together. After he went downstairs, he made a gesture to Zhou Yanshu and whispered, "I'm going to find someone first. He's inside. If I don't come out within three minutes, you go in directly."

Zhou Yanshu raised his eyebrows, glanced at the corridor behind Yu Zhuo, and nodded casually.

Yu Zhuo turned around and walked into the corridor. The corridor was dim. Yu Zhuo stopped in front of the innermost room - it was a locker room for hospital cleaners.

Yu Zhuo simply ignored the lock on the door. He kicked the door open with his foot and greeted the people inside.

"Have you changed your clothes? I left something on you."

The person in the locker room had just taken off his nurse uniform. His upper body was naked, and one of his lower legs had just been inserted into the dark blue work clothes.

His body trembled when he heard the sound, and he immediately turned to look at Yu Zhuo vigilantly.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable that you could find this." The cleaner put on a duckbill cap, stared at Yuzhuo, and reached out to grab the clothes rack next to him.

He is C-level, Yuzhuo is also C-level, they are evenly matched.

Yu Zhuo looked at him and said, "There are guards all around. If you fight me, you won't be able to escape. Yu Chengyang is very angry because you broke the gemstone. You will go to prison for at least 20 years."

"Don't you know who broke the gem?" The cleaner sneered, "You used the sea water to flush the toilet. You got all the yellow water in there!"

"Who knows?" Yu Zhuo spread his hands, "As long as I don't admit it, it's you who did it. Who told you to stuff the gem into the toilet?"

"You!" The cleaner tightened the clothes hanger in his hand and said coldly, "Why do you come to me now?"
