After hearing about the abrupt disappearance of the actress, the group, who had long been ready for this moment, rushed out of the room and started looking frantically everywhere for any traces of the missing victim.
得知了演員消失後，早已準備好了的神探及嬌娃們第一時間衝出房間，並開始東張西望，看能否找出失蹤的人的下落。
As they got onto the stone bridge Shaun suddenly pointed above and shouted, "Look! It's the phantom!"
當他們來到石橋上時，孝恩突然指著上方喊道：「你們看！是那個鬼魂！」
As the rest of the group raised their eyes, they did, indeed, see that behind a window one storey above them stood the pale figure of the phantom. With that ghastly smile hanging on her snow-white face, she waved at the spies and detectives before disappearing into thin air right in front of their eyes.
其他人朝著孝恩所指的方向一望後才赫然發現，果然站在樓上的窗後面的就是那個白臉女鬼。她那恐怖的笑容又掛在臉上，她向神探及嬌娃們揮了揮手後，竟然就消失不見了。
"Quickly, follow her!" Jeffrey yelled as they dashed from the bridge into the other part of the building and up a long flight of stairs.
「快！追上去！」傑佛瑞說畢，大家便趕緊跑進橋另一端的建築物裏，隨後又爬上了長長的石樓梯。
"This way!" Shaun directed them towards the room where they worked out that the phantom had been in when they perceived her.
「這邊！」孝恩帶著他們來到他認為剛剛鬼魂所在的房間。
As they opened the door, they were shocked to discover that there was nothing strange about the room, it was just a normal box where the guests could talk in private without anyone interrupting them. There was a wooden table placed right next to the window which the phantom had been standing next to some minutes ago.
當他們開門一看時，赫然發現房間並沒有異樣，和一般餐廳的包廂沒啥不同。放置在剛剛鬼魂所站立的窗邊是一張木頭桌子。
"I told you that was a real phantom!" Jeffrey exclaimed, "If she was human, she couldn't have stood there with that table over there."
「我就說她是真的鬼魂吧！」傑佛瑞說。「若她是個真人，她是怎麼站在那裡的？」
"Hello? Doesn't she have hands? She could move the table and then move it back!!" the quick-minded Eliza responded on the long debated subject about whether this restaurant was really haunted.
「拜託～她難道沒有手，不會移動桌子嗎？」機靈的 Eliza 馬上給傑佛瑞吐槽。
"Guys, quit arguing and look at this ladder," Claire spoke as she pointed towards a ladder that seemed to be leading upstairs.
「大夥兒別吵了，趕緊來瞧瞧兒這個梯子。」Claire 一邊指著靠在牆上的木梯子一邊說。
"I wonder where it leads to?" Eliza inquired.
「這究竟是通往哪兒的呢？」Eliza 問道。
"Well, this seems strange, as there are already a flight of stairs in the corridor that leads upstairs. What do they put a ladder here for?" Jeffrey thought out loud.
「這不是很奇怪嗎？外面就已經有樓梯通往樓上了，這裡還放一個梯子做啥呀？」傑佛瑞大聲的想著。
"This must signify that there is a little room that is in the main building, but could not be accessed to using the main stairs," Shaun reasoned, "And could only be reached from this room."
「那就表示主建築物的內部有一間房間是無法從中央樓梯通往的。」孝恩推理道。「而是一定要從這間房間才能通往那裡。」
"All the more reasons that we should go and investigate!" Claire concluded.
「更加說明我們應該去一探究竟兒！」Claire 答道。
After ascending the long ladder, they found themselves to be situated in the attic of the main building, which was very different to what they anticipated that would be in a restaurant. As they discovered that the small room was furnished like a dressing room, with a dresser, a mirror, a pink screen and a plastic model with a wig.
爬上長長的梯子後，映入眼簾的竟然和他們所想像的截然不同。他們來到了餐廳建築物的閣樓，裏面裝潢得像一間更衣室一樣，放置著一個梳妝台、一面鏡子、一面屏風、還有一個戴著假髮的塑膠假人。
"Hmmmm, this is interesting.... What is a dressing room doing in a restaurant? What, do the customers have to dress before they can eat?" Eliza said jokingly.
「這就有趣了！在餐廳裏設置梳妝室做啥呀？難不成客人要先化妝才能吃飯？」Eliza 開玩笑道。
"I've done some research which indicates that this place used to be an opera house some hundreds of years ago," Jeffrey replied, "So this could be the former dressing room of the singers, which hadn't been used all this time."
「我之前查了點兒資料，得知這間餐廳幾百年前曾經是一間歌劇院。」傑佛瑞答道。「所以，這可能是前歌劇院遺留下來，很久都沒有人用過的更衣室。」
"Well, this sure doesn't look like it has been deserted some hundreds of years!" Shaun responded after wiping his finger on the dresser and proving that it was, in fact, quite clean and free of dust.
「依我看這裡根本不像幾百年都沒人用過的房間！」孝恩用了手指在梳妝台上抹了一下，發現根本就沒有灰塵後說。
"And look at the cosmetics bottle," Claire reasoned as she picked one up from the dresser, "This is the latest anti-ageing formula of the newest product belonging to the famous brand "Channel". If my knowledge of cosmetics hasn't failed me, this is just released this February!"
「還有這個化妝品罐子。」Claire 邊拿起放在梳妝台上的化妝品邊說。「這是知名化妝品品牌『香乃爾』所推出的最新抗老化配方。據我對化妝品的瞭解，這是今年二月才推出的新產品。
"I can smell something fishy going on here!" Eliza joined in.
「看來，這裡非常的可疑！」Eliza 說。
