"Mr. Ronald, we meet again."
The train began to slowly accelerate on the track, and Swift walked up to Ronald in the dining car.
"I have verified the matter I asked you about previously with the train guards, thank you very much for your honest response."
Ronald nodded:

Swift shifted his gaze from Ronald's face and, while observing the movements of others, he said:

"Did you see anyone else pass by?"

Ronald thought carefully, then replied:
"Not only during washing up but also on my way to and from the sink, I didn't see any strangers. It was very early, and no one was out in the corridor."
Swift continued to ask:
"Did you hear any noise during that time?"
Ronald shook his head:
"No."
"Thank you very much."
Swift nodded toward Ronald and then turned to look at Aliada, who was tightly holding Ronald's arm.
