"Honey, you're so good! Even foreigners have to ask you to solve the case! Miss Bao said with adoration on her face.

For her reaction, Tang Ning smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that at this time, the idea of admiring foreign countries is indeed too serious, and foreigners inviting a Chinese are worthy of such shock! And I guess it's also because there is such a detective on the ship, otherwise if there were white detectives to choose from, they would definitely not come to him.

Sure enough, Downing's guess was soon confirmed, because he had just followed the second officer to the scene of the crime, that is, Nick's cabin, and immediately someone questioned: "A Chinese, will he solve the case?!" ”

Fortunately, someone next to him immediately grabbed him and whispered: "There is no way to do this, after all, he is the only detective on the ship now, and we can't wait until we get to New York to find a police or detective to solve it, because by that time, Nick's body will already be unpreservable." ”

Tang Ning ignored this question, but put on gloves, picked up a magnifying glass, squatted next to the corpse and studied it carefully for a long time, then stood up and said in a deep voice: "According to my examination, there are obvious traces of seawater immersion on the deceased's body, but this is not the cause of death, because it can be seen from the skin of the face, hands and feet that the soaking time is not long, and there are no signs of drowning.

The cause of death should be the knife that was stabbed in the chest, and obvious traces of rope binding were found on the back of the deceased's shoulder, so it fully shows that this was a murder! ”

Downing's meticulous observation and meticulous logical reasoning immediately made everyone look at him with admiration, and his second mate praised him directly: "Mr. Downing, you are so powerful, we haven't told you anything, you have made so many discoveries, it's like Sherlock Holmes written by Conan Doyle!" ”

"I was influenced by Sir Doyle to become a detective." Tang Ning replied modestly, and then asked, "I want to ask, where was the body of the deceased found?" Looking at his soaking marks, it shouldn't be in this room, right? ”

"Oh, of course not here. In fact, about an hour ago, many people found Mr. Nick falling into the sea from the window of his room, but fortunately, they found it in time, and with a little luck, Mr. Nick's body was recovered from the sea. Originally, we thought that Mr. Nick committed suicide by jumping into the sea because he couldn't think of something, but as you just said, through the examination of the body, we found that he was murdered, so we asked you to come and help. The second mate explained.

"Why do you think Mr. Nick would kill himself? He is the owner of the Titanic, the most luxurious cruise ship ever, what kind of troubles would force such a successful person to commit suicide? Tang Ning asked puzzled.

Regarding Tang Ning's question, the second mate hesitated for a moment, and discussed it in a low voice with the captain, first mate and others present, and then explained to Tang Ning: "Mr. Tang Ning, in order to solve the problem, I can tell you the answer, but please keep it a secret." ”

"Rest assured, as a detective, this is the bare minimum of professional ethics!" Tang Ning hurriedly promised.

After receiving Downing's assurance, the second mate replied: "Well, that's right, our White Star Company's previous Olympic had an accident and faced a large amount of compensation, and Nick is now in a lot of pain for this matter, so it is indeed possible to do something stupid without thinking about it for a while in this situation." ”

"Since your company has no money to compensate, why do you spend a lot of money to build the Titanic?" Tang Ning was still puzzled.

The second mate replied with a bitter face: "When the Olympic accident, the Titanic was almost built, and it was precisely because the construction of the Titanic consumed our savings that we couldn't afford to compensate." ”

"Isn't it okay to use the Titanic directly to offset the compensation? Isn't the Titanic enough to offset? Downing asked.

The second mate said: "The Titanic is indeed enough to offset, but if you do that, our company will go bankrupt!" ”

Tang Ning suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case, then I understand." Well, I want to ask again, is there anyone on this ship who has a grudge against Mr. Nick? Like someone who is chasing an Olympic claim? ”

The second officer shook his head and said: "The compensation for the Olympian is from the bank in Southampton, but they are not on the ship, as for the person who has a grudge against Mr. Nick, I really haven't remembered it for the time being, Mr. Nick has always had a good temper and rarely has conflicts with people." ”

Speaking of this, the second mate seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "By the way, I remember, yesterday he had a quarrel with Mr. Karl over a matter, and it was very unpleasant. ”

Later, he explained to Downing: "Mr. Carl is the son of an American steel magnate, and the steel used to make the Titanic was purchased from his family's steel mill. ”

"Carl? Is his fiancée called Shredded Meat? Oh no, it's Ruth? Tang Ning asked suddenly.

Although he didn't understand why Downing wasn't sure that Carl was so familiar with his fiancée, the second mate nodded and replied, "That's right, Mr. Carl's fiancée is Miss Ruth." ”

Hearing this answer, Tang Ning suddenly secretly said in his heart that he was finally going to see the protagonist, so he hurriedly said: "Then can you please arrange for me to meet this Mr. Carl?" I'm going to check with him about what you just said. ”

The second mate hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, in order to solve the case, I will help you arrange it, but I really don't want the murderer to be Mr. Carl, that would be too terrible." ”

Tang Ning echoed: "I don't want to either, so what we're doing now is also helping him clear his suspicion, are you right, Mr. Second Mate?" ”

Seeing that Tang Ning agreed with his words, the second mate replied with a smile: "I think what you said is very reasonable. Then please wait a minute, and I'll arrange it. ”

But he hadn't left for long, when he came up to Tang Ning with a strange face and asked, "Mr. Tang Ning, there is a Miss Bao who claims to be your girlfriend and wants to come up to you." Then he whispered, "Did you ...... in the cabin just now?" ”

Tang Ning nodded a little embarrassedly and replied: "That's right, it's her, if it's convenient, please let her come up, I think this case may not be solved in a short time, right?" ”
