Chapter 117: Passenger Ship in Distress

Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Lin Keji didn't tell Xie Yuru in detail, so Xie Yuru was also serious about reading the materials, he hadn't been to the scene, and the photos in the documents were not particularly clear, what was worth seeing was the transcript.

The materials in his hand were closed with a "snap", Mr. Director subconsciously sat up straight, he glanced at the documents on the table, and asked politely, "What is Brigade Commander Xie's opinion?" ”

Xie Yuru tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I, a person under investigation, can I have any high opinions, and whether I am innocent or not, I will leave it to you for investigation." ”

What can they find out, can they still go to Xie Yuru's territory and interrogate his soldiers one by one? scolded his mother in his heart, but the director still smiled kindly, "I don't know about the Zhongtong side, and I really don't know what to say, you see......"

Xie Yuru knew that he was going to push the matter on himself, "Do what you have to do, don't worry." ”

The words are said lightly, but there is no difference from not saying it, according to Mr. Director's logic, the most convenient way to do this is not to investigate, Xie Yuru casually found a substitute ghost in his team.

He had no way of being sure that it wasn't Xie Yuru who did it, and he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, both sides were not easy to mess with, plus Lin Keji, who reported the crime, was enough to make him anxious.

Solving the case is not the most important thing, it is the key to get out safely.

Here, Xie Yuru Lin Keji sat and waited for the person who planted the false accusation to appear, and Liao Wanyu, who was beyond the sea, was not idle. Wu comprador has not yet arrived, she has already won many orders by herself, and this trip to Nanyang has gained a lot.

Rather than waiting for the arrival of Wu's compradors, she is now more like returning to Luzhou as soon as possible to arrange the production of orders. Because there are many differences between the customs and customs of Luzhou, Liao Wanyu has some new ideas for the soap products sent to Nanyang.

Therefore, she thought about it for two days and decided to take Zhang Jinghui first. This time, they did not do the same company's ocean-going ship last time, but chose a general passenger ship that went directly to Shanghai.

There is no need to dock at ports in other countries and cities to load and unload goods on the way, and the time is almost halved.

Lao Qin is now the guest of the knight, so he is too happy not to leave, Gong Yanqing wanted to follow Liao Wanyu back to Luzhou at first, after all, he promised Lin Keji to protect Liao Wanyu, but Liao Wanyu was not worried about Lao Qin alone, so he got rid of him and stayed in Nanyang to take care of him.

On the day of boarding, the weather was fine, Liao Wanyu and Zhang Jinghui were still standing on the deck of the first-class cabin and watching the people on the shore, but this time there were Gong Yanqing and Lao Qin who came to see them off.

The passenger ship left the port on time, and Liao Wanyu told Zhang Jinghui, who was a little seasick, to rest well, and ran to the deck to blow the wind and watch the seabirds.

These seabirds seem to be human, and they have been flying around the passenger ship, and some of the brave ones actually landed on the deck and ate the bread crumbs scattered by the passengers.

Liao Wanyu, who was in a happy mood, also asked the waiter for a piece of bread, and threw it into small pieces into the air, hoping that there would be a smart seabird to catch it.

Since the departure time was in the evening, dinner was quickly served in the ship's restaurant, which belonged to a British company, and the meal was also completely British.

Liao Wanyu was worried about Zhang Jinghui who was resting in the room, and did not go directly to the meal, she returned to the room and found that the person had fallen asleep, so she went to the restaurant alone.

As soon as Liao Wanyu walked to the door, a handsome handsome male waitress with blond hair and blue eyes led her to a small round table with two seats, and then handed her a menu, and waited respectfully for her to order.

There are a lot of orthodox British meals, and after eating one by one, they came out of the restaurant, the sky was completely dark, and there was no scenery on the deck to enjoy, so Liao Wanyu went to the dance hall to watch the excitement, and suddenly the hull of the boat shook sharply, and she was staggered.

Soon a waiter came out to apologize and explain, and the slightly commotionous crowd soon stepped on the music and threw themselves into the joyful dance, Liao Wanyu was worried that Fang Cai's shaking would wake Zhang Jinghui, and hurried back to the room.

Opened the hatch lightly, the room was dark, Zhang Jinghui obviously consumed too much physical strength because of the previous seasickness reaction, and she slept heavily and was not disturbed.

The person hadn't woken up yet, and she didn't want to turn on the lights to disturb her, so she quietly closed the hatch and went to other places to watch the excitement.

The ship is large and has all the facilities and in addition to the ballroom, there is also a casino. According to the regulations, every first-class guest will receive a hundred chips from the casino, and Liao Wanyu redeemed her own free chips at the door and walked in with a novelty.

She didn't understand any of the rules, so she looked curiously table by table, and finally stopped at a poker table.

Playing cards are foreign products, and Luzhou also has them, but there are not many people who can play them, and she has only heard of them, but she has not seen them with her own eyes.

Gambling is a matter of many open gambling tubes, but most of them are straightforward ways to play such as gambling on the size of the game, and she has never heard of it.

Just when the first class cabin was singing and dancing, a big event had already happened at the bottom of the passenger ship.

Fang Cai's shock was not really without effect, at least there was already a position at the bottom that had entered the water.

The seafarer in charge of the lookout had a conflict with his wife before the trip, and he was drunk when he got on board, and alcoholism was common among seafarers, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with it.

They have been running on this route for many years, and they are so familiar with it that no one would expect to meet a lost fishing boat.

The captain was a very experienced man, and he had been sailing with the ship since he was a teenager, and the little situation at the moment was really not worth mentioning, and the poor fishing boat was miserable compared to their own losses.

If he hadn't quickly organized people to rescue him, the fishermen on the boat would have died at the bottom of the sea.

However, many times, many things, often have nothing to do with human experience and understanding, and in the hour after the incident, the breach in the hull, which was not very serious, was irretrievably enlarged by the omission of the inspection before departure.

The first-class guests who realized it later had priority to board the lifeboat under the guidance of the crew, and Liao Wanyu had also lined up with the crowd to board the ship, but she remembered Zhang Jinghui in the room in a panic, and ran against the crowd with difficulty to the cabin.

She brought people out, and she must not abandon them when danger comes.

The lifeboats were on both sides of the deck of the second-class cabin, and Liao Wanyu struggled to run upstairs where the first-class cabin was located in the crowd, and when she finally found her cabin, she found that Zhang Jinghui in the room was gone.

Faced with such a situation, Liao Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as people are awake, they will definitely go to the deck of the second-class cabin, and they should meet soon.

While the cabin was in chaos, the engine room and boiler room were not getting any better, and the crew was trying to save themselves as orderly as they could by stepping on the sea water that had already submerged their feet.

They need to keep the momentum and drive as far as they can to the nearest port, otherwise in this boundless ocean, dozens of tiny lifeboats will still have little life.

The crowd was panicked and disorderly, and the third-class cabin, which had been kept in the dark, had already received the news at this time, as the closest to the leaking area, they did not receive the notification first, and someone had already taken the lead in making trouble.

Even though the crew explained that there were absolutely enough lifeboats, many people still ran up from the third-class cabins, scrambling to get on the boats.

The situation began to enter an uncontrollable chaos, Liao Wanyu encountered such a panicked situation for the first time in her life, she was drowned in the crowd, and she also imagined that she would meet Zhang Jinghui, not to mention that she wanted to go to Zhang Jinghui at this time, she couldn't control her direction by herself, so she could only follow the crowd.

Her voice shouting that she was a first-class passenger was covered by the voices of crying and scolding, and there were strong men around her who had been rudely squeezed, and they pushed her hatefully, but they didn't come up in one breath, and Liao Wanyu felt that her eyes were black.

Who can help her! She doesn't want to die here yet!

Tears are involuntarily flowing, because of fear, because of despair.

At this moment, Liao Wanyu became without any distractions, and the only voice in her head was just to live.

Stumbling in the crowd, she felt her mind clear, and then began to squeeze in the direction where she could board the lifeboat.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out one after another, and after three sounds, the originally restless crowd suddenly seemed to be collectively immobilized.

The person who shot was the captain, who was holding a megaphone in his hand at the moment, and said to the crowd, "Please don't panic, our lifeboat is enough to carry all passengers, I hope everyone can be in an orderly manner, let the children and women board the ship first." ”

Liao Wanyu was surrounded by some Chinese passengers who couldn't understand English, and they looked at the captain who was talking in confusion, and they couldn't understand at all.

Seeing this, Liao Wanyu explained loudly in Chinese, and when she heard her words, many people showed a little relief on their faces.

As long as there are enough lifeboats, as long as everyone can live, there is nothing wrong with children and women boarding the boats first.

The captain continued to reassure the passengers in English, while Liao acted as an interpreter for those around her, and the children and women in the crowd began to move slowly forward, while the men automatically gave way to a path.

When he passed near the captain, Mr. Captain, who was standing on a high place, cast a grateful look at Liao Wanyu.

Just as everyone began to board the ship in an orderly manner, the accident happened again.

The hull of the ship gradually began to tilt, and Liao Wanyu hurriedly hugged the metal staircase pillar beside her, trying to stabilize her body. The captain who was standing on a high place fell from above, and the crowd, which had already calmed down, was once again shrouded in fear.
