Xu Huo seemed to realize what the matter was. "I didn't bring it with me when I went downstairs last night, and I forgot about it this morning. Can I go over and get it now?"
"It's fine. I put it away for you. Just tell the captain tomorrow. I won't be coming in tomorrow since I have the day off, so I wanted to let you know in advance." Lin Guang also told him about the two new arrivals that day. "One's Han Cong, and the other's Wang Kai. You and Han Cong will probably be on my team, so it'd be good to get acquainted beforehand."
Xu Huo mentioned that his luggage had gone missing. "Where should I go to look for it in a situation like this?"
"Oh, why didn't you say so yesterday? At this point, I'm afraid there won't even be a suitcase left." Lin Guang spoke quickly. "Was there anything particularly valuable in it, like precious metals? Those things can be traced, and there are ways to look for them. You probably won't get the clothes and shoes back."
"What did your suitcase look like? I'll mention it to the captain and see if he can keep an eye out for it."
Xu Huo gave him a rough description, then added regretfully, "There wasn't anything especially valuable in it. It's just a shame to lose it."
His wallet hadn't been stolen, so his identification and money were safe. It was only natural that the suitcase contained nothing but clothes.
Lin Guang promised to pass the matter on to the captain, but told him not to get his hopes up. It didn't matter if he'd lost his clothes; he had his uniform, and he could buy more after he got paid next month.
