Chapter 172: Strange Sleep
The situation on board has become more complicated. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Now, not only the passengers, but also the crew, there may be some problems.
"Temporary workers", hehe, everyone understands......
A short time later, the first mate, Suchai, took the navigator Arnold and the driver Dumec into the cockpit.
As a result of the gross dereliction of duty of "sleeping" during their previous working hours, Arnaud and Dumec were ordered by the captain to be locked in confinement - a small room at the stern of the ship that could not be opened from the outside unless opened with a key.
At the moment, both Arnaud and Dumec are very nervous......
Captain Angke glanced at the two of them: "This Mr. Lin is a police officer of the ICPO, you will answer whatever he asks, don't talk nonsense, do you know?"
Arnaud and Dumaker nodded their heads again and again - in foreign countries, the abbreviation "ICPO" of Interpol is known to everyone, just like the FBI and CIA in the United States, so Arnaud and Dumec replied in unison: "Yes, captain." ”
Lu Yun, who was beside Lin Lei, twitched slightly, she always felt that what Captain Angke had just said was a little ...... I don't know how to describe it, anyway, I don't think it's very "pleasing to the ear". After pondering it carefully, Lu Yun couldn't find anything wrong.
Lu Yun set his eyes on Lin Lei, but found that Lin Lei's face was as usual......
Lin Lei took a deep puff of his cigarette, just stared at Arnold and Dumec with his eyes, and did not ask questions immediately.
The first mate guessed that Lin Lei didn't ask, and he didn't understand Lin Lei's routine, so he had to briefly introduce Arnold and Dumec first.
Arnold is twenty-seven years old and comes from Country F - Country F, which is FLB, the country whose capital is called Manila.
Don't look at Arnold's young age, but he already has ten years of experience in the ocean, so his position is also relatively high, and he is a navigator. Checking the route, radar, GPS positioning, and other work on the direction of the ship is all within Arnold's scope of work.
The driver, Dumec, was twenty-four years old and from the country of Tayland. The driver on a cruise ship is commonly known as the helmsman, which can also be understood as the driver......
Last night, the two of them were on duty in the cockpit, responsible for piloting the boat.
Lin Lei looked at the two of them for a long time before finally asking, "Arnold, Dumec!"
Arnold and Dumec immediately replied, "Yes!"
The Daystar cruise ship welcomed VIPs from RB, Huaxia and YN countries, so when the shipping company selected the crew, it required each crew member to understand the languages of these three countries, so Lin Lei communicated with them in Chinese without any problems.
Lin Lei began to ask: "Have you ever had the experience of napping and sleeping on duty at night before?"
Arnold and Dumec shook their heads again and again, and Arnold said with a confused face: "Mr. Lin, I, Arnold, have been running on the ship for ten years, and I have been a navigator for five years, and the combined range can circle the earth more than a dozen times, but this is the first time that I have slept while on duty." ”
Dumec also said: "Yes, Arnaud is right, we all slept during the day, and we shouldn't be so sleepy at night......"
Lin Lei's eyes lit up and asked, "Were you sleepy when you were on duty last night?"
Arnold glanced at Lin Lei, nodded and said, "Well, there was nothing abnormal in the first half of the night, but after the early hours of the morning, Dumec and I were sleepy." We kept chatting, but we were afraid that we would accidentally fall asleep, but in the end we ......"
Lin Lei nodded slightly and fell silent.
Lu Yun had been listening to Arnold and Dumec with her ears pricked up, and her eyes stayed on a small table in the cab, on which were two empty cups......
Of course, Lin Lei also noticed the two cups: "Arnold, Dumec, what did you drink last night?"
Arnaud and Dumec's eyes were also on the two cups. Arnold replied, "Mr. Lin, usually we drink tea or coffee in the middle of the night to refresh ourselves. ”
Lin Lei walked to the small table, picked up two cups and smelled them, and said, "You drank coffee last night?"
Arnold and Dumec nodded and replied in unison, "Yes." ”
Lin Lei continued to ask, "How long did you sleep last night, do you know the specific time?"
Dumec didn't seem so sure, and he glanced at Arnold, the navigator beside him.
Arnold pondered for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure about the exact time, but I remember that I looked at the time, and I should still be awake at one o'clock in the morning...... By the time Su Chai woke us up, it was already four o'clock in the morning. ”
As soon as Lin Lei heard this, his eyes immediately turned to the first mate Su Chai, and asked, "Su Chai, are you going to check the post at four o'clock? Is this the rule on the ship? How often should you check the post?"
Suchai replied, "Our shipping company's rule is to check the post every four hours. I checked at 0:00, so I didn't go until 4 o'clock -- and as soon as I got to the cab, I found that they were asleep!"
After glaring at Arno and Dumec fiercely, Suchai continued: "It's not just that they fell asleep, but the positioning equipment and rescue equipment on the ship have been destroyed. Well, Mr. Lin, that's what you see now. It remains as it is, no one has touched. ”
Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, but he suddenly asked another thing: "Keep it as it is?" Su Chai, didn't you say before that a mechanic came here to repair the equipment?"
Suchai smiled and explained: "Those devices are high-tech products, which are highly professional and reliable. Even if one of them is damaged, there are others that can work, and it is impossible to have a repairman for every piece of equipment on board...... I said that only to comfort the passengers on board. ”
As soon as Su guessed this explanation, Lin Lei immediately understood......
After thinking for a moment, Lin Lei said to Captain Onke, "Don't reveal my identity for the time being, only a few of you can know." What are you supposed to do, I'll come to you when you need to. ”
Angke and the others looked at each other, but since this police officer Lin from the ICPO asked for it, they could only do it.
Lin Lei and Lu Yun left the wheelhouse and came to the railing of this deck.
The Daystar cruise ship has anchored here, quietly waiting for the arrival of this rescue vessel. As for when a ship will come to the rescue, no one knows.
This ship is now an isolated island in the vast sea.
Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the calm sea outside the railing, as if he was thinking about something important.
Lu Yun didn't dare to disturb Lin Lei's thoughts, but just silently accompanied him...... (To be continued.) )
