Chapter 38: Ready to Run?

The deep-water docks in Whale City are vast and relatively open, and due to the large number of people and goods coming in and out every day, the guards are almost non-existent.

"Detective," Long Xiaoyang reported to Fang Qi in an open space at the gate, "I just went to the dispatch room to check, and since the suspect's car entered the dock, there hasn't been a single ship on the dock yet!"

"Because of the tide of spiritual power, they have to wait until after dark before they can go to sea!"

"Okay!" Fang Qi looked at his watch, "So, we still have some time!"

"Detective, although there is still time, the situation is not optimistic!" Zhao Canliang said to Fang Qi, "While waiting for your arrival, we have already asked the steamer on the main road of the dock, and no one has seen that car!"

"They said that there was a cruise festival on the pier recently, and there were many vehicles coming and going, so an ordinary car would not attract their attention at all!"

Cruise festival shows?

Fang Qi searched his mind for a while, and suddenly had an answer: the so-called cruise festival performance activities were similar to the large-scale temple fairs in the previous world, except that the temple fairs were held on various cruise ships at the deep-water pier.

At that time, visitors can board the cruise ship to participate in the show, buy the goods on the cruise, enjoy the show, or participate in the activities on the cruise.

In addition to the Holy Light Clan, there are many other races of cruise ships that are also involved.

The interracial goods are full of mystery and temptation, attracting a large number of tourists to participate, and it is very lively!

"Detective," one of the agents reported to Fang Qi, "We checked the surveillance of several other main roads in the dock before, and they were all broken!"

"It's really hard to find!" the man scratched his head and said, "We're just a few people, we can't go to the ship to check every ship, right?"

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Hearing this news, Fang Qi couldn't help but feel anxious, as time went by, their chances of finding the missing girl would only get smaller and smaller.

However, due to the heinous crime of rounding up, he was unable to deploy more police force.

What to do?

Fang Qi thought hard, he knew that there were more than a hundred ships, and with just a few of them, they couldn't search them one by one before dusk, so he had to think of a way to narrow down the scope of the search.

"What if ......," he thought to the crowd, "what if we sifted through all the information on all the ships?

"Hey?" Suddenly, Fang Qi thought of something, and hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "Yes......! We can sift through the time!"

Oh?

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what Fang Qi meant, but they all listened very seriously.

"Well," Fang Qibi said, "we just need to see which ship entered the harbor before the first disappearance, and we can't rule out a large number of ships?"

"That's right!" Long Xiaoyang hurriedly patted his ass, "It's still the detective!"

"The first disappearance happened 20 days ago," Ms. Zhao said, "so ...... We just need to find the ships that entered the port at that time to narrow down our investigation?"

When Zhao Canliang spoke, Long Xiaoyang had already turned on his laptop computer and retrieved the entry and exit records of the freight terminal.

"Look!" After some operation, Long Xiaoyang pointed to the computer screen and said, "In the five days before the first disappearance, a total of 44 cargo ships entered the port, among which ...... Of these, only 17 have yet to leave!"

"17 ships...... Zhao Canliang gritted his teeth and said, "It's still too many!"

"I think," Fang Qi said, "if I were a kidnapper, I wouldn't have to do it as soon as I arrived in Whale City, at least stop and observe for a few days, right?"

"So, you can exclude those ships whose dates are closer to the time of the crime!

"There are still these ......," Fang Qi said again, "These are official ships, and the possibility of hiding kidnappers is very small!"

"Great!" Long Xiaoyang clenched his fists excitedly, "In this way, there are only 7 ships left, and the real kidnappers may be among these 7 ships, we ...... Let's do a search!?"

As Long Xiaoyang spoke, the detectives were also gearing up and eager to try.

"In this way," Fang Qi hurriedly instructed, "Let's work in a group of two, take our ID and the photo of the suspect vehicle and board the ship for questioning."

"If there is a problem with the ship, the person being questioned must have a ghost in his heart and will appear nervous, so everyone must observe carefully.

"Also, everyone remember, once you find an abnormal situation, don't do it without permission, these people come prepared, they are definitely not good, so everyone exit safely first, and then we will concentrate our forces to arrest them......

"Also, the walkie-talkie and mobile phone communication are all on, let's keep talking at any time and report our respective situations at any time!"

"Don't worry, Detective! We're not rookies!" Zhao Canliang picked up his arrow and shouted at everyone, "Brothers, did you bring them all?"

With Zhao Canliang's greeting, everyone hurriedly raised their arrows and promised in unison.

Subsequently, Zhao Canliang divided the group into groups, and everyone immediately launched a search operation, took a car, and headed towards the seven suspicious ships......

......

A few hours later, night falls and the lights come on.

The deep-water pier is gradually becoming lively, and on every cruise ship participating in the show, sailors are preparing for the upcoming cruise festival exhibition activities.

Due to the large number of tourists, the pier has already arranged security personnel to maintain order and prohibit vehicle traffic, making the entire pier a pedestrian street.

In order to attract tourists to board the ship, each cruise ship arranges an ingenious welcome ceremony at the boarding gate, some are colorful flags and lanterns, some are beautiful emcees, some sing and dance, and even give out small gifts of different races for free......

At this time, Fang Qi stood alone by the flower bed in the center of the dock, his face was solemn and his mood was gloomy, as if he was out of place with this world.

This afternoon, he led Zhao Canliang, Long Xiaoyang and others to inspect the seven ships, but they did not find the suspicious car.

Just when Fang Qi decided to search the remaining 10 ships, the General Bureau of Detectives suddenly called Zhao Canliang directly, ordering them to immediately participate in the encirclement and suppression operation in Baiyang Mountain!

This kind of order to directly bypass Fang Qi undoubtedly made Zhao Canliang and the others scratch their heads, so they delayed and hesitated for a while, but they were quickly warned by the General Administration, and if they did not act according to the requirements of the General Administration, they would be punished.

In this way, Zhao Canliang no longer dared to disobey his orders, so he had to ask Fang Qi for instructions, and then left the deep-water dock with his people.

Fang Qi estimated that since the above was so anxious, maybe he really found clues about the heinous crime in the area of Baiyang Mountain, right?

Seemingly...... Perhaps they could really be caught by them!

If the heinous crime is arrested, then the treasure ship robbery and the mysterious master will definitely be told.

So...... Are you really the robber of the treasure ship case?

Also, is he really the mysterious master who can defeat the heinous crime with only a wooden dart?

If yes, then...... Is it the right choice for me to be prepared to run away now?
