Chapter Forty-Nine: Digging Three Feet into the Ground
Gu Tianming's face and body were wrapped in white gauze, and the ship was equipped with a ship doctor, this doctor looked less than thirty years old, but his techniques were quite sharp, and he had a lot of experience in dealing with trauma, and it only took half an hour for Gu Tianming to feel much more relaxed.
The ship's doctor instructed: "You should pay attention to rest, although the wound is not very deep, try to avoid strenuous exercise." ”
Gu Tianming said perfunctorily: "Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful." "If you do what you do, you can encounter any emergency, not to mention that the situation is so complicated now, how can you have time to be distracted by small injuries and pains.
"I look at your physique, it seems to be showing signs of long-term strain. The ship's doctor said more.
Gu Tianming became vigilant: "At your age, it shouldn't be long before you officially practice, right?"
"Oh, it's been three or five years. The ship doctor smiled slightly, "I can still see the ordinary symptoms." ”
Gu Tianming nodded, he pretended to chatter and said: "This cruise ship runs on the sea all year round, and there are not a few sick crew members, right?"
"There are often colds and fevers, there are not too many serious illnesses, the medical conditions on the ship are limited, and only some ordinary surgeries can be done, and the crew will have a physical examination before going to sea, and infectious diseases will be cleared in advance. "To be honest, compared to most ships, our medical conditions here are already top-notch. ”
"Really?" Gu Tianming was reluctant to let go of any clues, "I see that your hands are white and pure, not like a person who often runs at sea?"
The ship doctor was stunned for a moment, but quickly said: "We do this, and we often deal with disinfectant water, even dark hands can be bleached." ”
Gu Tianming is not easy to fool: "You won't also apply disinfectant to your face, right?"
The ship's doctor smiled awkwardly: "Of course not, I'm really a bit of a home, unlike other crew members, who like to go out to bask in the sun and blow the sea breeze." ”
"Hmm. Gu Tianming thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "How many crew members are on the ship now?"
"Crew?" the ship's doctor thought for a moment, "there are probably fifty or sixty of them, and the exact number should be fifty-three." He sat down at the desk, picked up the notebook and flipped through it, "Oh, no, it's 56." ”
Gu Tianming stared at his face: "As a doctor, you don't know how many people are on the ship?"
"Who has time to ask about these things, and besides, the number of people on each ship is not fixed. The ship's doctor said unhurriedly, "Whoever is sick will come to me for treatment, and I have always been reluctant to ask about other matters." ”
"Can I smoke here?" Gu Tianming became a little interested, and he planned to stay a little longer.
The ship doctor said unceremoniously: "Turn right when you go out, there is a smoking room." ”
"Forget it. Gu Tianming frowned, "Are there many smokers on the boat?"
The ship doctor glanced up at him, "There are quite a few. What do you do, why are you asking so much?"
"Profession habits. Gu Tianming raised the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to see the flowers on the other party's face, "I was curious, so I wanted to ask." ”
"Oh, no wonder. The ship's doctor bowed his head and sorted out his things, looking like he was not answering.
Gu Tianming said tentatively: "You're not interested in asking me what I do?"
"I heard that there are police officers on board, so you should be a police officer. The ship's doctor said flatly, "But when they come to me, they are all patients, and I only care about treatment, and I won't ask anything else." ”
Gu Tianming said with interest: "This ship seems to be closed, but in fact, the news spreads quite quickly." ”
"The ship has its own set of communication methods, and work matters are generally communicated to each crew member in a timely manner. "So I know a little bit about the ship." ”
"How do you receive messages?"
The ship's doctor said: "Let's talk about the phone internally, after all, it is more reliable." ”
"If there is a power outage, do you use a walkie-talkie?" asked Gu Tianming.
"I rarely use it on my side, and the crew will probably use it a lot. The ship's doctor replied, "It's convenient after all." Besides, there is emergency power on board, and the internal telephone is also normally powered in the event of a power outage. ”
"So that's the case!" Gu Tianming suddenly realized, "So, there are emergency lights on the ship, right?"
"Yes. The ship's doctor stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of the hatch, "That's a night light, for escape." ”
The suspicion in Gu Tianming's heart has been confirmed, no need to ask, the first-class cabin carries so many passengers, it is impossible not to set up emergency lights, and it is impossible to damage it so coincidentally, someone must have done something, and this power outage is likely to be premeditated.
He finally asked, "Can you tell how the wound on my face formed?"
The ship's doctor thought about it seriously: "The wound is smooth, shallow at the bottom and deep at the top, and the deepest part reaches 1.5 centimeters. There was no foreign body in the wound, and there was no muscle tissue contusion, so it must have been cut from the bottom to the top by a sharp and thin object, and it was probably a dagger. ”
Gu Tianming gave a thumbs up and agreed: "Professional! I think so too, can you see any other problems?"
The ship's doctor shook his head frankly: "There is no basis for judgment on anything else, but it is certain that this dagger does not contain toxic ingredients, please rest assured." ”
"Thank you very much. You should be safe yourself, and I will ask you again when I have the chance. Gu Tianming acted resolutely, and left without looking back.
The ship's doctor looked at his distant back, and a hint of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
After Gu Tianming left the infirmary, he had already made up his mind that he would screen all the staff on the ship, and no one would be left behind.
The murderer must have been hidden in the crew, and he was not alone, otherwise it would not have been possible to kill someone and attack himself at the same time, this is a premeditated operation, and every step is professional.
In addition, the killer took the handbag of the murdered woman, which also hindered the police to verify her identity, and as for the missing child, it must have been hidden somewhere on the cruise ship.
If you can run a monk, you can't run the temple, if you have the ability to reach the sky, I can also let you show your original form.
Gu Tianming first found the captain of the ship, Garibu, and expressed his idea of checking all the crew, and Garibu agreed without hesitation and said that he would provide all assistance.
Garibu worked seriously, he arranged for the first and second officers to take turns to organize the crew to be questioned by the police, and saved Gu Tianming a lot of trouble and manpower.
The first crew members were summoned to a makeshift interrogation room after just twenty minutes.
Gu Tianming led his deputy Yue Dapeng to personally act as the interrogator, and the two police officers were on full-time alert outside the interrogation room, and as for the emergency detachment, the deputy captain was temporarily acting as the deputy leader.
He was also fully prepared to deal with emergencies, the sixth-floor gun hangar was the focus, and four additional fixed guards were dispatched to guard against mistakes; in the event of a murder in the first-class cabin, a detachment was also left to guard the whole time on two floors, and as for the woman who was killed, she was packed up as usual and temporarily stored in the freezer, leaving it for disposal after docking.
As Li Yiting expected, no matter how careful the layout was, the limited police force began to become nervous.
And Gu Tianming had an even more crazy idea, he thought that the real murderer would not show up publicly, so he secretly deployed an 8-person task force, using special contact information, to attack at any time.
The interrogation is nothing more than a trick!
(The current deployment of 61 police forces has changed: a total of 14 police officers on the sixth floor, 4 are stationary, 10 are mobile; 8 are in the task force; 4 are in the interrogation room, including Gu Tianming; 10 are in the first class, patrolling on the third and fourth floors; there are 28 officers on the fourth floor, 10 are in the emergency detachment, and each patrol team has 6 people in each group.) Overall, it's solid. )
