The coast guard and others began to get busy, and now they had something to do.

Beiting's biggest concern is not only this, they immediately found the second mate Xia Yuanshen, now there is a very urgent work that needs his assistance, are there any crew members of the original Lisha among these victims? Or more directly, is there Captain Dongfang Yue here! Since playing that Sea Requiem, Chen Tianyu and the others have initially gained some basic understanding of Dongfang Yue and Mu Lian through the special form of communication of music, at least they themselves think so, could it be that the composers have died so soon?

Fortunately, Xia Yuanshen was identified, and there were no Dongfang Yue or Mu Lian among these victims, nor were there a few crew members of the Lisha who had disappeared before, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know why, they had a strange sympathy for this strange captain from the beginning, at least at this moment, they didn't want to see the body of Captain Dongfang Yue.

Several people were struggling to figure it out, and Officer Zhang Jian'an sent a special police officer to inform Beiting to hold an impromptu meeting in the conference room.

The number of people attending the meeting was small, mainly responsible persons in several aspects, such as Captain Mo Quan representing the Lisha freighter, Captain Qu Yihui representing the coast guard, Superintendent Zhang Jian'an representing the city bureau, and Chen Tianyu, Li Yiting, and Kuangsuo representing Beiting, and two additional people, namely Liu Zichen, the "military division," and Xia Yuanshen, the former second deputy, which were specially requested by Beiting.

The main topic discussed at the meeting was a very grim reality: should search and rescue be expanded?

According to most people's thinking, this should not be a problem, and in the event of a shipwreck, it would be contrary to the humanitarian spirit not to search and rescue, but at the moment, there are still many practical problems that they cannot ignore: First, this is the Dragon Triangle! This is the first problem that cannot be avoided, which means that blind search and rescue may pose a serious threat to the Lisha itself; second, there is a storm at sea now, and the death of these people must be directly related to the storm, but can the Lisha definitely withstand the storm? Third, where is the shipwreck? This is a big problem, from the direction of the floating corpse drifting over, this shipwrecked ship that may survive should be in the southeast direction, but its specific location, but it is completely impossible to judge, and the direction of the wind flow in the storm is rotating, whether it is in the southeast is very difficult to say, the possibility of futile effort is very large; the last problem, the Lisha does not have the ability to search and rescue, this is also the ultimate problem, self-rescue may be okay, rescue another wrecked ship, for an ordinary shipping ship, it is a bit difficult for a strong man.

But the Lisha is now full of Beiting detectives, coast guards, and special police, and it is unreasonable not to participate in the rescue.

The faces of the participants were very solemn from the beginning, and it was not easy to make this decision. The search and rescue may not be successful, and the Lisa still has 35 lives and goods entrusted by the owner; if it is not a search and rescue, I am afraid that the people here will not be able to sleep well for the rest of their lives.

In the end, it was the president Li Yiting who spoke first to break the silence, and now the time is very urgent, and any delay may cause irreparable consequences.

"Captain Mo Quan, we want to know if there are any other professional rescue ships around here?" he was anxious but still calm, thinking of the core question.

Mo Quan shook his head with a gloomy face: " According to the ships found along the way and past experience, there are no professional rescue ships in this sea area at present, before I got down from the wheelhouse, I also repeatedly compared the distribution of ships in the automatic identification system of ships, there are no ocean-going lifeboats nearby; however, we can try to send an SOS distress signal to notify the ships sailing nearby, at the same time, we can also send long-distance short waves, to inform the shipping company of the danger that is now facing; however, these take time and luck, and when they contact the professional ship to come to the rescue, I am afraid it will take a long process, and the rescue itself may not be of much significance……”

Captain Qu Yihui interrupted him and asked, "Then have you sent a distress signal now?"

Captain Mo Quan nodded: "Of course, we won't ignore this basic work, but looking at the current situation, it seems that there is no response from all directions." ”

Li Yiting frowned and said, "Didn't the shipping company give instructions either?"

Captain Mo Quan sighed lightly: "The company is thousands of kilometers away, and I don't know the specific situation here, I'm afraid it can only routinely notify the maritime department, I am really not sure if they will take action......" He was a little reluctant to speak, and finally said calmly, " To be honest, the Lisha is not in real danger now, as a shipping company operating as a company, the company's interests come first, I think you should be able to understand, this is not to say that we are selfish, some things need to be handled by professional ships, we are not equipped to rescue at the moment......"

Chen Tianyu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said: "The captain has his own difficulties, and we should be considerate. The Dragon Triangle has a special geographical location, and it has also been the sea area where many ships have been killed for many years, and we boldly speculate that most of the ships sailing here will take a wise attitude of protecting themselves, and they can only ask for more blessings every time they go to sea. ”

Captain Mo Quan nodded gratefully, for this empathy of understanding.

Xia Yuanshen lost no time in hurriedly interjecting: "Chief Inspector Chen's words are very reasonable, if we search and rescue in the direction of the storm now, don't say that we are just a small cargo ship of less than 10,000 tons, even if it is a large cargo ship of more than 100,000 tons, I am afraid it will be nine deaths." My opinion is the same as that of Captain Mo, notify the surrounding ships and the company, even if we have fulfilled our obligations, the top priority is to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, right......" He felt that what he said was very in place and level, and conceited that his suggestion would definitely be adopted this time, so he added, "You also feel it, the sea conditions a few days ago are already very, very ideal, but I see that many of you are a little unbearable, if you enter the storm area, I guess not to mention rescue, it will be very difficult to get up." ”

Liu Zichen frowned slightly, this person's proposal sounds very reasonable at first glance, but when you think about it, it makes people very disgusted, it is nothing more than running for your life.

So she couldn't help but say: "Although what the second mate said is true, if we run away without doing any effort, I think even if we go back safely, it will not be easy for anyone to explain." Her tone was already tinged with contempt.

Xia Yuanshen glanced at her, with some disdain on his face: "Where can this be called escape, you don't understand the horror of the deep sea at all, and your thoughts are too naïve." What's more, this is the Dragon Triangle of the Devil's Sea, and for all ships, the storm is a nightmare, and if you don't dodge it quickly, you will take the initiative to catch it, unless it is a short circuit in your head. As soon as these words came out, they instantly attracted public anger.

Kuang Suo said coldly: "Why don't we put a dinghy and send our most professional second comrade back to retire, let's search and rescue it ourselves, what a coward!" He never beat around the bush when he spoke, and his words directly made Xia Yuanshen's face pale.

Xia Yuanshen didn't speak for a long time, but muttered in a low voice: "I don't know how to pretend to understand, I really don't know whether to live or die." ”

Kuang Shuo almost got up, Li Yiting hurriedly pressed his shoulder and asked him to sit down, now is not the time to be angry, although Xia Yuanshen said it ugly, but some of it was true, he looked at Chen Tianyu and asked for his opinion.

Chen Tianyu thought for a while, then turned his head and asked Captain Mo Quan: "Captain, you are the most authoritative here, or do you have an idea?"

Seeing this, Liu Zichen reminded: "There are still more than a dozen corpses on the ship, how to deal with ......it?

Captain Mo Quan stood up, he was pacing back and forth in the small conference room, it seemed that his heart was also very entangled, and now in this situation, it would be difficult for anyone to change it. Before coming out, the shipping company gave itself the task of shipping, and by the way, he conducted some investigations on the Dragon Triangle, or cooperated with the maritime department to conduct some investigations, but suddenly encountered a shipwreck, which really put him in a dilemma.

However, after so many years as a captain, he couldn't keep hesitating, so he still said what he really thought in his heart.

"My opinion is to return immediately. His tone seemed calm, and his heart was indeed turbulent.

Except for Captain Qu Yihui and Second Officer Xia Yuanshen, everyone else looked at each other, how could the captain of the Lisha make such a decision?

Captain Mo Quan explained helplessly: "This is also a way to do it. ”

Li Yiting broke the silence, he obviously understood what the captain meant, so he also helped him out of the siege: "I think the captain has been through a hundred battles, this decision seems a little cruel, but there must be a good reason." ”

Captain Mo Quan bowed his head gratefully and said: "You don't know, although everyone feels uncomfortable when they see so many dead people, but to say something unpleasant, on this vast sea, it is a blessing in misfortune to be able to leave a whole corpse, I don't know how many crew members have fed sharks in the sea...... The power of nature is something that we, the small human beings, can easily resist. His words are full of emotion that has gone through the vicissitudes of time.

This time, no one said anything to refute it, and it seems that this is definitely a big truth. Just now, because it came out of the mouth of the stubborn and selfish Xia Yuanshen, it was inevitable that people would be indignant, and now it is another thing to tell the truth from the mouth of an experienced old captain.

Chen Tianyu thought of another question: "So, when a ship encounters a storm at sea, it can only wait to be killed?" He suddenly had a strange intuition.

"That's not quite. Captain Qu Yihui continued, "With our current technical means, some accurately predicted storms still have some avoidance skills, which we usually call the three-right navigation method, that is, to leave at high speed in different storm areas by taking the wind direction of the bow or stern side of the ship, and under normal circumstances, it is possible to get out of the storm area...... This is what we do with the coast guard, and I don't know if the freighter is going this way. As for those sudden storms, this method is not 100% reliable, and the possibility of death is very high......"

Xia Yuanshen nodded hurriedly, eager to raise a hundred hands to indicate that this was the only way, but his expression was extremely funny, and there was a sense of hurried justification.

Chen Tianyu's words changed, but what he wanted to express was not what everyone thought he meant.

"In other words, even if we enter the storm zone now, there is still a way to get out. He looked at Captain Mo Quan with sharp eyes.

Finally, the captain sighed and said helplessly, "That's right!"

"Well, I propose, on the premise of ensuring safety, that we take a look at the storm zone, and if we are lucky enough to find the shipwrecked ship, we will do what we can to help, and if it is still not found, the Lisha will immediately return to the sea, and bring the bodies of the victims back to the port of departure and return them to their families. Chen Tianyu said decisively, "No matter what, we are all people from government departments, and it will definitely be difficult to deal with each other if we don't save us, so we have to find ways and do our best." ”

At this point, no one raised any objections.

But everyone's faces looked gloomy because of excessive worry, especially the second mate Xia Yuanshen, who even had inexplicable fear on his face.

"Do we need to dump our cargo at sea?" Chen Tianyu suddenly asked another strange question.

Captain Mo Quan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Let's take a step and look at a step, under normal circumstances, it is not needed." Hearing this answer, Chen Tianyu smiled slightly, and his smile was quite meaningful, which made Xia Yuanshen feel flustered inexplicably.

This micro-expression also did not escape the attention of everyone in Beiting, but what they were not focusing on now was this obscene little person, they wanted to explore something more secret.

As for Chen Tianyu, he fell into his own contemplation-

In the vast and mysterious ocean, perhaps the truth favors only those who have the courage to ride the waves......
