Ye Chu came to the monitoring room arranged by Captain Smith, and in the surveillance video, except for Captain Smith, who kept coming in and out for work reasons, no one else went in or out.

Smith also said that those jewels and other finances have always been locked in the safe, and when he just opened the safe to find a document, he found that the jewelry had been dropped!

Ye Chu frowned after hearing this, thought for a while, and said, "Since this is the case, what else are you looking for, we can rest!"

After hearing this, Smith said anxiously: "But how can those jewels be returned to those rich people on the ship?" Ye Chu said with an indifferent face: "This is your business, it has nothing to do with me!"

After hearing Ye Chu's answer, Smith burst into a foul mouth, and before Ye Chu left, he stared at Captain Smith for a while, and then continued with a smile: "It's best to keep it a secret from those rich people now, because he's definitely still on this boat!"

......

After Ye Chu walked out of the monitoring room, he said with a smile: "Interesting! You can drop the bag without leaving a trace, are you a fool!

A few hours passed, Ye Chu circled around the whole boat, and met Li Zhi, maybe Li Zhi and Wanwan really love each other!

When Ye Chu came to the door of the bar on the boat, he met Liu Lingxi, Ye Chu stepped forward and talked to Liu Lingxi, Liu Lingxi was a little shy when he saw Ye Chu again after a few days.

Ye Chu didn't know what to say, Ye Chu, who was a straight man of steel, saw a bar next to him, and said gentlemanly: "I'll see you in many days, can I invite you to have a drink?"

Liu Lingxi lowered his head, did not agree or refuse, but Ye Chu walked in directly, Liu Lingxi looked stunned when he saw it, and immediately remembered the four words "straight man of steel" in his heart, but Ye Chu had already entered, and he was embarrassed not to go, so he followed Ye Chu into the bar.

This bar is the only one on the cruise ship and is open all day, a quiet bar during the day and no different from the bustling bar outside at night.

It is precisely because it is quiet during the day, so there are few customers at this time, and when you enter the door of the bar, there is a huge glass fish tank, which is full of small saltwater fish that are not common or can only be seen in the aquarium.

The fish inside are colorful, swimming back and forth in the tank, the bottom of the tank is some stones with smooth surfaces, Ye Chu found a good position, and after doing it with Liu Lingxi, Ye Chu ordered a glass of wine, and Liu Lingxi naturally ordered a cup of milk tea that girls like to drink!

Ye Chu's communication was not bad, and when he learned that the novel "The Journey of Life" he read was written by Liu Lingxi, he exchanged literature with Liu Lingxi.

The novel "The Journey of Life" is Liu Lingxi's own perception of travel and various interesting things he encountered, so he told Ye Chu some things that were not recorded in the novel during the journey, and Ye Chu was also fascinated by it, and inadvertently, became a fan of Liu Lingxi, a woman who looked weak on the outside.

After chatting, Ye Chu combined the content of the book and had a deeper evaluation of Liu Lingxi.

Liu Lingxi has the delicate spirit of a Jiangnan woman, likes romance, but has a strong heart that can withstand great pressure, which is related to her perception in the trip, she is the only one in the trip, but she does not feel lonely, but uses the writing to describe the scenery and human feelings, while interpreting the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature!

Liu Lingxi told Ye Chu that although his novel was over, his trip was not over, and told Ye Chu that when the ship docked, he would embark on the journey again.

Ye Chu, like an ordinary fan, asked, "But you can't always be on the road all the time, so if one day you are tired and stop traveling, what will you do?"

Liu Lingxi thought for a while and said, "If I stop the journey one day, I must have found a reason to stop." ”

After hearing this, Ye Chu was like a fan of gossip, and asked, "Then what is the reason you expected?"

Liu Lingxi took a sip of milk tea and said: "Of course I met love, if he also likes to travel at that time, we can travel together, if he doesn't like to travel, I think I will open a bar like this, I will be the proprietress of the house! ”

Ye Chu nodded, this is a compound of his own thoughts, because Ye Chu thought that if he retired one day, he would open a teahouse, it didn't matter if he made money or not, the important thing was to be quiet!

When Ye Chu and Liu Lingxi were communicating, Ye Chu saw a waiter in the bar who was putting stones into the water tank, Ye Chu looked at the stones in the water tank and didn't take his eyes off for a long time.

Liu Lingxi noticed Ye Chu's abnormality, and called Ye Chu in a low voice, Ye Chu withdrew his eyes absently, and said to Liu Lingxi: "I'm sorry, I'll leave for a while!"

After Ye Chu finished speaking, he immediately ran to the clerk who was putting stones in the water tank, Liu Lingxi blinked his eyes and said, "Strange, it's a good chat, what's so urgent!"

Ye Chu came to the side of the clerk who was putting stones in the water tank, and said, "Can I take a look?" The clerk is a young brother from country M, and his appearance is also handsome, after seeing Ye Chu, he is naturally no stranger, after all, he saved the people on this boat, and immediately agreed to Ye Chu's request.

Ye Chu picked up a stone from the bucket at the feet of the bar clerk and put it in his hand to look at it, Ye Chu found that the stone was the same as the stone in the belongings that were dropped in Smith's office.

And Ye Chu searched the entire ship today, just to find stones, because stones are very common on land, but this is a business luxury cruise ship, stones are naturally rare on the ship, if someone uses stones to drop the belongings in Captain Smith's room, they must find stones on the ship, otherwise who will bring a large number of stones on board?

Ye Chu asked the little brother if anyone had come to ask for these stones recently, and the foreign brother pretended to be thinking while rubbing his index finger and thumb in front of Ye Chu with one hand, Ye Chu immediately understood what the little brother meant, you must know that this gesture is an international gesture, Ye Chu didn't know if it was difficult, so he took out a banknote from his wallet.

After the little brother got the money, he immediately said: "When Captain Hall and Captain Smith were drinking here a few days ago, Captain Hall said that he wanted to use these stones to engrave the names of the dead security guards as a memorial, so I gave him some stones. ”

After Ye Chu heard this, he instantly shifted his gaze to Hall, but this is the little brother and said: "But there are still people who come to ask for the stone......"

The foreign brother didn't continue, Ye Chu looked at the foreign brother, the foreign brother pretended to think, and continued to rub his fingers in front of Ye Chu, Ye Chu took out a banknote again, and the little brother continued: "Two days ago, Edward said that Captain Hall's stones were not enough, and asked him to come here to get some more, so I directly gave a bucket like this." Then he kicked the bucket full of stones on the side with his toe.

After hearing this, Ye Chu asked, "Who is Edward?" The little brother was about to frown, Ye Chu directly took out a hundred-dollar knife and gave it to the little brother, and after the little brother saw it, he looked at the money in his hand and said, "Edward is Captain Smith's subordinate." With a sweep of his eyes, he saw a crew member in a sailor suit carrying a rubber bucket walking over from the door of the bar, and then said to Ye Chu: "It's him, he is the red man next to Captain Smith, according to the grapevine, after Captain Smith retires, he is the deputy of the Star Dream." ”

Edward walked up to the foreign brother with the bucket and said, "C, these stones are no longer needed, let me return them!"

After hearing this, the foreign brother said, "Put it here! Say hello to Captain Smith and Captain Hall for me!"

Edward's bucket was placed next to the little brother, and after seeing Ye Chu, he said hello to Ye Chu, and then left, Ye Chu saw that the bucket that Edward brought was the same stone, but these stones were very small and a little broken, and they were cut by the machine from the incision.

Ye Chu looked at the stone and said to the little brother, "Your name is C?"

But the little brother didn't answer, Ye Chu looked at the little brother, he was looking at Ye Chu with a profiteer's face, and rubbed his fingers at the same time, Ye Chu smiled and threw the stone in his hand back into the bucket, and left to walk towards Liu Lingxi.

The foreign brother smiled when he saw it, looked at the money in his hand, kissed it, put the money in his pocket with satisfaction, and said to Ye Chu who left: "My name is C Nalunde, the C of ABCD." Ye Chu turned to look at C. Nalunde, and C then said: "I'll tell you this news for free! Thank you for saving my life at the hands of pirates." ”

Ye Chu saw the sincerity on C's face, smiled slightly, turned around and walked to Liu Lingxi's side and said, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and thank you for chatting with me today!"

Liu Lingxi smiled and looked at Ye Chu, Ye Chu took out the money from his wallet and put it on the table, and shouted to C in the distance: "I put the money on the table." Then he left the bar.

Next, Ye Chu found Hall's room and knocked on the door, no one answered, Ye Chu looked around left and right, and after finding that there was no surveillance, Ye Chu took off the tie pin, inserted it into the keyhole and tinkered twice, and the door opened.

Ye Chu smoothly entered Captain Hall's room, and saw that Hall's room was very tidy, with stones on a table, and a drilling machine, which carved names on some complete and smooth stones, exactly 17, the same number as the number of dead team members, and some stones that were cut in half, which was caused by the drilling machine not grasping the depth of drilling when Hall was carving the name.

Ye Chu saw this scene and confirmed that C was not lying in the bar, but this did not mean that Hall had lost his suspicion, but on his list, there was another person's name, and that was Edward.

After all, in their own understanding, only Edward and Hall have come into contact with stones, and both of them have a close relationship with Captain Smith and have a motive for committing the crime!

After Ye Chu thought of this, he shook his head, now that he is a detective again, it is the impermanence of the world.
