Chapter 30: Zhao Tianming is missing
Zhao Tianming did not immediately go to the bow of the boat to call Qi Yu and Hong Kaiyuan, but went straight to Zhou Jian's room.
Since the anchor was lifted, Zhou Jian inspected the cargo once, and it has not appeared again.
However, Zhou Jian was not in the room.
In desperation, Zhao Tianming had no choice but to turn back and call Qi Yu and Hong Kaiyuan.
At this moment, Yan Zihua had already returned to the cabin and put the previous thing back on, as if he had never found it.
When he took the wrench to check the equipment again, he saw Zhou Jian coming down from above.
"Brother Hua, are you still busy?" Zhou Jian walked towards Yan Zihua with a smile.
"What, you want to come over and help?" Yan Zihua didn't raise his head, and got sideways into a dense row of pipes.
"Unfortunately, I don't understand these technical things. Zhou Jianhan laughed.
"If you don't understand, you can learn!" Yan Zihua replied casually.
"Forget it, with my brain, I can only do some hard work. Zhou Jian walked near the pipe.
"Hand me the screwdriver, it's in the toolbox over there. Yan Zihua found a screw that was not fastened.
"Okay. Zhou Jian immediately walked to the toolbox and began to rummage, and after a while, the screwdriver was delivered to Yan Zihua's hands.
"Brother Hua, don't you think these people on the boat this time are all strange?" Zhou Jian said with a smile.
"What's so strange, rich people are bored!" Yan Zihua didn't care about his words.
"Didn't you notice that the supplies on the ship far exceeded the needs?!" Zhou Jian said in a deep voice.
"What do you say?" Yan Zihua did not look up.
"When the goods were loaded yesterday, I estimated that the supplies on the ship could live for at least two hundred people for a month, but including us, there were only eighteen people on this ship, according to the plan, stay at sea for a month at most, why do you need so many supplies?" Zhou Jian's expression looked very heavy.
"That's the boss's business, God knows if he will have other uses!" Yan Zihua concentrated on tightening the screw, and did not look at Zhou Jian's expression.
"That being said, I always felt a little uneasy. ”
"Uneasy?!" Yan Zihua finally raised his head: "What did you find?"
"No, it's just that my gut tells me that this trip to the sea is not so peaceful. Zhou Jian smiled bitterly.
"Oh, maybe you're thinking too much. Yan Zihua smiled.
"I hope so. Zhou Jian sighed, then changed the conversation and asked, "You say, do rich people like to find excitement nowadays?"
"How so?"
"Let's not talk about their so-called expedition this time, I also saw the two guys, one fat and one thin, chatting on the bow of the boat, the wind and waves have been much stronger, and they are not afraid of being washed into the sea?!"
Hearing this, Yan Zihua looked a little angry, and snorted: "What are you doing with them, I was kind enough to call them back just now, but they didn't care at all." I said it was cold at night, and I wanted to give them a few sips of my wine, and guess what?"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Jian asked with a smile.
"Hot face sticks to cold ass!!"
"Hahaha......"
Then, the two chatted a few more words, and Zhou Jian left under the pretext of excuse.
Watching Zhou Jian climb up, Yan Zihua tilted his head and thought for a moment, then took the wrench and screws and continued his work.
After calling Qi Yu and Hong Kaiyuan back, Zhao Tianming called Yang Kaihao and Ai Qiang over to help Muzi, and he returned to his independent cabin.
After lying on the bed and thinking for a moment, he left the room again and walked towards the warehouse.
At the moment, the lights in the warehouse are on.
The warehouse was huge, and it was already full of all kinds of supplies, and there were several piles, all of which looked like small mountains.
Before coming to the warehouse, Zhao Tianming glanced at the door of Zhou Jian's room and found that the door was closed, and he didn't know if he was inside.
But Zhao Tianming didn't knock on the door, but went straight into the warehouse.
Looking at the mountains of materials in front of him, Zhao Tianming frowned, and then began to knock and touch, and began to check those materials.
As a crew member on the ship, it was normal to check the supplies, so Zhao Tianming didn't care about his actions.
Just as he turned the third pile of supplies, a low voice suddenly came from a corner not far away, the voice was so small that he couldn't hear it clearly if he wasn't careful.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Tianming quietly leaned over.
Before he could hear a few words, he heard a snap, and the lights in the warehouse were turned off, and Zhao Tianming suddenly fell into darkness.
…………
By daybreak, the ship was completely immersed in the sea, surrounded by vast water, boundless, and no shadow of the land could be seen.
Sophia was the first to arrive at the restaurant, and she couldn't hold back her long time when she looked at the steaming white porridge.
"Uncle Su, I didn't expect you to make breakfast!" Sophia smiled and said to Su Buqi, who was still busy.
"If you hire one more person, you will be paid an extra salary, and if you can do it yourself, why waste it. Su Buqi handed the plate with two fried eggs to Sophia and said with a smile: "This white porridge made of shrimp is my specialty, you can try it." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Su. Sophia hurriedly took the plate, made another bowl of white porridge, walked to the table and sat down, and began to feast.
"Wow, it's delicious. Sophia praised Su Buqi's craftsmanship while eating.
After a while, Thomas Martin and others also arrived, followed by Qi Yuhong Kaiyuan, and finally Oshima and Yamashita, only a group of crew members had not yet appeared.
When everyone had eaten about the same, Zhou Jian and Mu Zi walked in with a smile.
Then came Yan Zihua.
Seeing the three of them, Su Buqi immediately began to urge: "You have already rested for a night, hurry up and eat, hurry up and go for Xiao Yang and Qiangzi, they have stayed up all night!"
Yan Zihua didn't seem to hear it, and ate by himself.
Only Muzi responded: "Got it." ”
"What about Xiao Zhao?" Su Buqi frowned: "Don't you need him to help you observe?"
"I guess I'm still sleeping. Muzi ate and said indistinctly: "I'll call him when I go back." ”
"When will you finish eating?!" Su Buqi glared at Mu Zi: "I'll go." ”
A few minutes later, before everyone left the restaurant, Su Buqi came back with a grim face.
"Can any of you tell me where Xiao Zhao has gone?" he said to Zhou Jian and the others.
Zhou Jian looked dazed: "Captain, what's wrong?"
"I've already been to his room, he wasn't in the room at all last night!" Su Buqi stared at the three of them and continued, "Did you guys play cards together last night?"
"I slept at ten o'clock last night!" Muzi said lazily: "I have been on the boat all day, and the bed is closer than my mother!"
"I stayed in the cabin all the time, slept there, and didn't like to play cards. Yan Zihua said.
"I'm pretty much the same, and I went to bed at ten o'clock. Zhou Jian said: "I didn't play cards." ”
"I asked Xiao Yang and Qiangzi, after they took over, Xiao Zhao never went to the cockpit again!" Su Buqi glanced at the three of them again: "Except for the three of you, he is not familiar with the guests on the ship, why can he go?!"
"I said the boat boss, his legs are long on him, where does he want to go, can we manage it?" Muzi said coldly: "Besides, we've only known each other for a few days, and it doesn't seem to be a very warm time, right?"
"My opinion is similar to Muzi, everyone is not very familiar with each other, of course they don't pay attention all the time. Zhou Jian said with a smile.
"Let's look for it, maybe he's somewhere else on the ship. Yan Zihua said.
"Who of you has seen Xiao Zhao?" Su Buqi glanced at Qi Yu and the others again.
"Why are you so sure he wasn't in the room at all last night?" Qi Yu smiled indifferently.
"The bedding was neatly stacked, but it was all cold. Su Buqi said: "The washing utensils are all dry, there is no sign of moving, and even the things he brought are left there intact, and they have not been opened!"
Qi Yu touched his nose, tilted his head to look at the ceiling, and sighed: "It looks like he is really missing!"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Zihua had already rushed out.
