The salvaged body was a big fat man, and the captain said that this person was a crew member and not a passenger.

Gu Tianming attaches great importance to this situation, on the one hand, he asked the fifth layer to strengthen the vigilance, and on the other hand, he personally participated in the inquest. Captain Garibu thought he had committed suicide because the big fat man had some symptoms of depression before.

Gu Tianming didn't fully accept it, he led the technical investigators to search the big fat man's cabin, and found a suicide note, and the content of the suicide note was very simple: I don't want to live anymore.

He checked the suicide note repeatedly, and compared the other documentary evidence of the big fat man, and the handwriting identification found no flaws for the time being, so he was a little relieved.

According to the custom, the captain collected the corpse in a body bag, put it in the freezer, and prepared to take it back to hand over to the family of the big fat man.

This sudden incident is somewhat unpleasant, although everyone has heard of the police on the boat, it still cannot completely dispel the natural fear.

In order to appease the emotions of these people, Gu Tianming had to transfer four or five plainclothes personnel to strengthen the first-class patrol and reassure them, which was also one of the duties of the police: to protect the people and prevent anyone from accidentally falling into the water again.

In order to express his gratitude, Captain Garibu also made a special trip to invite Gu Tianming to dinner together, and asked about the investigation by the way, Gu Tianming naturally understood his careful thoughts, so he did not refuse.

The meal was not pleasant, for Garib was in a somewhat depressed mood.

Gu Tianming patiently explained to him the possibility of suicide, but Garibu was unusual, and his face showed a deep worry, which was a little different from the beginning.

"Director, it stands to reason that the sailors on the ship have also died of illness, but this is the first time that they have committed suicide. Garibu stopped talking.

Gu Tianming glanced at Garibu with his unique eyes, and said lightly: "I think the captain has something to say." ”

"Not really. "Garibu is slowly slicing the steak, and today is eating Western food.

Gu Tianming said slowly: "If the captain has any other opinions, I will be happy to discuss them." ”

"The director is also a person who works on the front line of criminal investigation, have you heard of the death prophecy?" Garibu wiped his mouth with a tissue, as if he had no appetite.

Gu Tianming's face did not change: "What is a death prophecy?"

Actually, it's a term from the West. Garibu said with a heavy face, "At first, I also thought that the fat man's suicide was not a big deal, but in the process of dealing with this matter, several sailors mentioned the death prophecy to me, so I made a special trip to invite the chief over for dinner." ”

Gu Tianming raised the corners of his mouth: "In the West, we are now in the East." ”

Garib was silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Gu Tianming added: "But I'm still a little interested in this Western death prophecy. Why would a sailor prophesy death?"

Garibu thought for a moment: "To be precise, it is not mention, but the sailors who received the prophecy of death. ”

"Oh?" Gu Tianming's eyes flashed brightly, "Tell me carefully." ”

Garibu asked, "Do you remember that the director stayed on Bailong Island for one more day?" he saw Gu Tianming nodding, and said, "According to the customs here, the crew all went to worship the gods, and it is said that they received divine revelations on Bailong Island, and the death prophecy is actually just a message." ”

"Originally, they thought it was just an illusion, but now that the big fat man committed suicide, they came to tell me. ”

Gu Tianming didn't directly refute it: "How many people know about this?"

"The sailors probably heard about it. Garibu said helplessly, "Passengers should not know that this level of professionalism is still there." ”

"Nonsense!" Gu Tianming finally said coldly.

Garibu was silent again, but he quickly spoke: "If you believe in this kind of thing, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it. I remember the last time I received a death prophecy was two years ago, when a sailor had died on board. ”

"What was the cause of death? Did the police give an appraisal conclusion?" Gu Tianming did not intend to ask from the perspective of superstition.

Garibu sighed: "Sick and dead, this person does have some medical history. The police concluded that it was sudden death, cardiac arrest, and as for the cause of sudden death, it was not found. ”

Gu Tianming pursed his lips, his face showed disdain, what does this have to do with the death prophecy, there are so many people who die suddenly, how many people can find out the cause? .

Garib probably saw his disdain, and hurriedly said, "I actually don't believe it either. But for the sake of the crew's mental health, I'd like to ask for your approval for one thing. ”

Gu Tianming was a little impatient, he hated others to make a fool of himself, so he only used his nostrils to say "um".

Garibu said to himself, "I want to turn on the Dragon Lantern of the Moon Princess, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Dragon Lantern?" Gu Tianming frowned, "What's that?"

Garibu explains: "Actually, it's the outboard lights. However, at the beginning of the design of the Moon Princess, there was a very powerful guy who arranged all the deck lights in the shape of a dragon, which could emit a dazzling yellow light. ”

Gu Tianming obviously didn't have much interest in delving into it, and he said lightly: "Whatever." ”

"Thank you so much. "That way, the crew will be able to feel at ease, and they won't be worried." ”

Gu Tianming's heart suddenly moved: "This is a matter on your ship, why do you want to ask for my consent." ...... Is there anything else special about this dragon lantern?" he is a professional after all.

"It's nothing special, but the power consumption is staggering. Garib smiled.

"Oh. Gu Tianming understood a little, "How amazing is it?"

Garibu thought about it seriously: "Six generators are needed to generate electricity at the same time, start three distribution boards, some electrical equipment on the ship may not be able to start, entertainment facilities are suspended, and the normal lighting in the cabin must also be partially turned off to prevent the line from catching fire." As you know, our ships are somewhat old, and these are safety precautions, which can be regarded as regulations. ”

Gu Tianming scoffed: "At that time, this dragon lantern was designed to ward off evil spirits?"

Garib was unaware: "Probably." The director also knows that the people on our side are indeed more superstitious, and there are many strange legends circulating near Bailong Island, the original intention of the design at that time, warding off evil spirits should be one thing, but the dragon lantern also has an important function, that is, to illuminate the sea, to pilot other ships, and at the same time to avoid danger for themselves. ”

"Oh, that's pretty much it. Gu Tianming was finally truly relieved, "I heard that the squid fishing boat also has the same function, I don't know if it's true." ”

Garibu laughed: "The director is really humorous, but the principle is really the same. ”

Gu Tianming thought of another question: "The dragon lantern should only be used at night, is it brighter than the sun in the daytime?"

Garibu nodded: "Yes, it will only be opened at night and in foggy weather." ”

Gu Tianming decisively clapped the board: "Then let's open it, they are all Chinese, how much festive." ”
