When Xu Wenlong and Liang Shiqi were holding hands and preparing to design their own gifts, Captain James and Captain Jack suddenly walked out of the counter. Their faces were solemn, their steps hurried, and they discussed something in a low voice as they went.

"Hello, Miss Liang and Manager Xu, it's nice to see you! Do you want to buy something? After Captain James found Xu Wenlong and the two, he immediately strode over with open arms.

Xu Wenlong stopped when he heard this, and while holding Captain James's outstretched hands, he nodded to Captain Jack behind him as a sign of politeness: "Yes, Mr. Captain, do you want to buy something too?" ”

"Well, how can you still be in the mood to buy things now?" Captain James sighed in frustration, raised his eyes and glanced at Liang Shiqi beside Xu Wenlong, and put on a look of wanting to say something.

Liang Shiqi was also very interested, politely greeted him with a few words and then said goodbye, and took the blue-eyed waiter to design gifts.

Although Xu Wenlong was reluctant to let Liang Shiqi leave, he also knew that Captain James must have something to say to himself, and it should not be an ordinary thing, otherwise he would never do it.

"Something's wrong, this damn mail ship has an accident again!" As soon as Liang Shiqi left, Captain James pulled Xu Wenlong to a secluded corner, rubbed his hands and told him directly.

Xu Wenlong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Something happened?" What's wrong? ”

"A tourist is missing! We tried our best to search the whole ship, but there was still no sign of him! ”

"Who? Who is missing? When did it go missing? ”

"Mr. Zhou Jiuhua Zhou is the one who won the first prize in the last fishing competition!"

"Is it him?!" When Xu Wenlong heard this, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like at all. Although Zhou Jiuhua fled with money, his behavior was hateful, harming the country, and it was despicable, but now he ended up like this, completely because he was to blame, and he was self-inflicted, and he couldn't blame others. It's just that the cause of his death, whether there are other conspiracies, and whether they pose a threat to other passengers, is a question that needs to be solved urgently. Thinking of the previous conversation with Zhou Jiuhua and Fanjiao, Zhou revealed his resentment towards his girlfriend Zhu Hong and the faint murderous intention, and then thought of the unclear relationship between Zhu Hong and Chen Ke, which made him shudder: Could it be that Zhu Hong felt his own danger, so he teamed up with Chen Ke to strike first? It's just that there is no evidence, how can you casually draw such a conclusion? Let's listen to Mr. Captain's opinion first. Thinking of this, he frowned and said to Captain James, "Then what do you think Mr. Zhou Jiuhua's unexplained disappearance will mean?" Death? So where will his body be? On board or in the sea? Is it possible to fall overboard? Also, How is his girlfriend now? Are there any abnormalities? ”

Captain James spread his hands and turned his gaze to Captain Jack to the side.

Captain Jack took a step forward and slowly narrated in Chinese English: "Half an hour ago, Mr. Zhou's girlfriend, Ms. Zhu Hong, came to the guard room to find me, saying that her boyfriend did not return last night, and hoped that we could help find it. After receiving the report, we immediately carried out a large-scale secret search according to the predetermined plan, and at the same time retrieved all the surveillance videos and carefully searched for them. It's just a pity that so far, Mr. Zhou is still nowhere to be found, not even alive or dead. Therefore, we have good reason to believe that he must have accidentally fallen into the sea at some point last night. Although such unfortunate accidents are rare, they are not without precedent. As for Ms. Zhu Hongzhu, she was very calm when she reported the case, and there was nothing unusual about it. According to her, her boyfriend, although he often does not return at night, at least comes back around dawn, and today he has not been seen, which makes her very worried, so she came to ask for help in finding it. And after reporting the case, she also directly asked someone to have breakfast, there is nothing very special and abnormal, and her bad motives can be preliminarily ruled out. Although we have also heard of the scandal between her and Chen Ke, we have also suspected their bad motives. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was unlikely. Who would dare to do anything on the deck that is heavily monitored

Murder others, unless he never wants to breathe this free fresh air again. Of course, what the truth is depends on the final result of the surveillance video! ”

Xu Wenlong listened, and said "oh" softly in his mouth, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: In this way, the suspicion that Zhu Hong and Chen Ke made the first move can basically be ruled out, and in the end, they are two young people, and they should not be so violent and vicious. Then, the only possibility is to fall into the water and fall into the sea.

Captain Jack paused, raised his eyes to see Xu Wenlong's expression, and continued: "So we can only wait patiently for the results of the surveillance video investigation now to further confirm the evidence that Mr. Zhou fell into the sea......

"Then if Mr. Zhou really fell into the sea, what should you do? Should we go back to search and rescue? ”

"Not bad!" Captain James shrugged his shoulders and said in a helpless tone with a bitter face, "Once we confirm that Mr. Zhou has fallen into the sea, we will have to return to the sea according to standard procedures, even if he is dead." After all, life is paramount, and anyone has the right to live without a legal trial. And we are in the closest position, which takes the least amount of time, and is the best position and the best chance to rescue his ship. Of course, if we reach the place where we fell into the sea and no one can be found within a radius of 50 kilometers, we will be forced to set sail to the terminal and hand over the search and rescue mission to other rescue teams who have been ordered to come day and night. ”

Xu Wenlong was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head, looked at Captain James with a complicated expression and asked, "Then how long will it take for you to get the results of the investigation?" To tell the truth, he didn't want to search and rescue Zhou Jiuhua in his heart, and even felt that this was the best end for Zhou Jiuhua to be self-deprecating and guilty. But after thinking about it carefully, I still think that Captain James is right. After all, he has not yet been tried, and he still has the right to live.

Captain Jack listened, and quickly took over the conversation and said, "It's coming, it shouldn't take long!" Because there are fewer probes on deck, it is easier to troubleshoot. Unlike those tourist theft cases, the scope is wide and there are many surveillances, and it takes a lot of time to compare them one by one. ”

"Tourist theft?" When Xu Wenlong heard this, he couldn't help but look at Captain Jack in surprise, "How can such a mail ship be stolen?" ”

Captain James shook his head in despair, and said in a desperate tone, "Alas, don't mention it, it's hard to say. I think this voyage is too unlucky and unlucky! No, as soon as they set sail from the coast, there were a series of thefts of tourists' property on the ship, and the stolen ones were some expensive and rare gold and silver bracelets that could be worn with them. For example, diamond rings, necklaces, ear pendants, gold coins with specific commemorative significance, jade pendants, etc. What's even worse is that this damn thief is too clever and cunning, and he chooses to commit crimes in blind spots or crowded public places, never leaving the slightest trace of suspicion, which simply hurts our brains. And this thief has not been caught, but there has been a hateful pirate robbery of the ship, and almost buried us at the bottom of the sea, fortunately, God forbid, their plot did not succeed. Now, before I had time to recover from the pirate incident and catch my breath, there was another big accident when the guest disappeared and fell into the water! By the way, just an hour ago, the damn communication line on our ship broke down again, and now we've lost contact with HQ for the time being. Oh my God, I'm just going to break down! ”

"The communication line is broken?" Xu Liang and the others were shocked when they heard this, and both asked eagerly, "When will it be repaired?" It won't take too long, can it be done at night? ”

"I don't think so!" Captain James waved his hand and replied, "It will take at least forty-eight to seventy-two hours for a full overhaul." ”

"What could be causing it? We were talking to our family just now, how can we say that bad is bad? Xu Wenlong and Liang Shiqi glanced at each other, and a look of extreme horror rose on their faces at the same time. My mom, I just made an appointment with Ah Ying for an evening video, and this is in the soup in a blink of an eye, no

I know what the little girl will be in a hurry when she arrives.

"Fiber optic shorts. According to the analysis of the maintenance technician, it may be due to the fierce battle with the pirates before, and the violent explosion caused a strong pull, including the partial drop of the hot metal wreckage, resulting in a large area of bare inner core of the optical fiber, resulting in a short circuit. Although it is only a remote communication line, it is also a problem to repair, but we have invested all the resources we can to repair it in the shortest possible time. ”

"It's unlucky, including the mysterious disappearance of your crew member, David!" Xu Wenlong sighed in despair, and asked with helplessness and curiosity, "What about the theft?" Isn't it easy to solve? Since the thief started to commit the crime after setting sail from the Hamaya, I don't believe that I can't find out his whereabouts by finding out all the passengers who have boarded the ship from the Hamaya, first excluding some of them, and then focusing on monitoring some of them. No matter how deep and good he hides, there will definitely be times when his feet are exposed! ”

Captain Jack shook his head and replied, "We did the same at the time, but this damn thief seems to be psychic, and we are safe and sound when we are watching, and as soon as we relax, even if we relax our vigilance a little, someone will immediately call the police for the loss of something." It's hell! ”

Xu Wenlong said in shock: "There is such a thing? It seems that this thief is not simple, he is definitely a battle-hardened old fritter, an old Jianghu, and if you have a chance, you have to see his methods! ”

Captain James's eyes lit up, and he hugged Xu Wenlong as if he had met a big savior, and kept patting him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, thank you Manager Xu for your help." I believe that as long as Manager Xu and you go out in person, the thief will have nothing to hide, and it won't be long before he can be caught and locked up in our small detention cell, waiting for the fair verdict of the law! So as to completely solve the problems of our henchmen, and give everyone a happy and happy journey. ”

Xu Wenlong broke free from Captain James's embrace, waved his hand again and again and said, "Mr. Captain is too exalted to me, I am not as powerful as you say, my hands and eyes are all over the sky." I just want to see what the thief is up to, and what kind of man he is, if the opportunity permits. ”

"Manager Xu, don't be modest, just do good deeds for the people." Captain James didn't care about any of this, but still praised Xu Wenlong's bravery with confidence, and undoubtedly looked forward to him capturing the hateful thief in one fell swoop. Because for some time, the thief has made him miserable, scolded and threatened by his superiors again and again, and he couldn't close his eyes in horror all night long, and he was almost driven crazy.

After being silent for a while, Xu Wenlong asked again: "Does the headquarters know about Zhou Jiuhua's falling into the water?" ”

Captain James spread his hands and said, "I don't know." When we received the report of disappearance, we had already done our best to talk to the headquarters once, reported the communication failure on the ship and its causes, and agreed to contact the headquarters again after 72 hours. But it's nothing, it's only three at most, and it's not too late to report after three days. ”

When Xu Wenlong heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and muttering to himself in frustration: "Yes, it's only been three days." ”

As he spoke, a paging voice sounded on the loudspeaker on the wall: "Please return to the command cabin immediately, Mr. Captain, there is something important to discuss!" Please return to the command cabin immediately, Mr. Captain, and discuss important matters......"

When Captain James heard this, he immediately said to Xu Wenlong with a happy face: "There are results, and the results of the video investigation will definitely come out." If Manager Xu is interested, you may wish to go with us to have a look. ”

"This ...... Let's take a look. Xu Wenlong wanted to refuse politely, but then thought about it, although Ah Ying's birthday gift was very important, it was not bad for a moment, but Zhou Jiuhua was a special person, and he fell into the water during this sensitive period. If he was really careless or careless, it was also his destiny to blame others. But what if not? What if it was a premeditated homicide? That's not a big deal. And if you go yourself, you may be able to give Captain James some reasonable advice and supplementary information for his reference.
