Chapter 104: The Stage of Longing
The sky began to become overcast, as if it might rain at any moment, and the passengers on deck were forcibly repatriated to their cabins.
The situation in the sea is changing rapidly, and standing on the deck when the wind is blowing is very dangerous. No matter how big a ship is, it is nothing more than a lonely boat compared to the vast sea, and a huge wave can wash the people on deck into the sea and dissipate in an instant.
Daytime shows were canceled and bored guests gathered in the lobby and walked around.
The cruise ship's bar gradually became lively, and at the request of everyone, the cruise ship management had to increase the bar's daytime program and let the singer Jenny sing on stage.
The soothing jazz music sounded, and the atmosphere in the bar was warm and ambiguous, which was particularly commensurate with the silence before the rain, and there was even a little more atmosphere that was not found at night.
James still sat closest to the stage, staring at the performance of the beautiful woman on stage.
When Jenny finished singing again, James leaned in and asked, "How is it, beautiful young lady, have you thought about it?" β
As he finished speaking, his right hand reached forward, and his little finger touched the back of Jenny's soft hand.
Jenny instantly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and said, "I like your suggestion very much, but I have a boyfriend." Dear Sir, please maintain basic courtesy. β
"Oh, is it? As expected. James smiled, "Such an elegant and beautiful lady must have a lot of people to chase, have a boyfriend and very normal." I don't know where he got up? β
"Well, thank you for the compliment. My boyfriend is a crew member on this cruise ship. β
"It's the crew." With a thick disdain on James's face, he got up and said, "I've drunk too much, I'm going back to my room to rest, if you think about it, come to my room before noon today, and I'll give you a morning to think about it." I'd love to help you. β
"Thank you." Jenny lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
Sydney Opera House, the stage she longed for the most, how she wished she could stand there and sing in front of the world's attention.
How she wishes she could have released a record of her own and be in the TV show and spotlight.
She's just had enough of this stage.
She has been singing on cruise ships for ten years, and each time it is a small field of dozens or hundreds of people, far away, and there is never a way out. In another ten years, her youth will be gone, and at that time, what should she do?
She really wanted to sing, she even had a better voice than most musicians, and all she lacked was a little opportunity.
Given the opportunity, she can definitely become famous!
A crew member approached, sat down next to the woman, and asked, "Hi dear, what are you thinking, I don't see you're in a good mood." β
"I ......," Jenny whispered, "I want to go outside and sing, and that guy is coming to me again, do you think I should go?" β
"Of course! I'm sticking with you! The crew kissed Jenny on the cheek, "If you have a good opportunity, why don't you fight for it, I believe you will succeed and become famous, why do you have such a good voice in such a small place for a lifetime, why do you have such a good voice, why do you face this vast sea for the rest of your life." β
"Thank you. I'll go find him. Jenny's eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Go ahead, I'll be your agent if I can!" The seafarer said with a smile.
Jenny watched his innocent and romantic face sink into bliss.
He will always be so happy, so believe in himself, this is the person he should entrust for the rest of his life.
Jenny drank a cocktail and got up and walked towards James's room.

Lin Yuhan returned to the cabin, took out a pen and paper and began to sort out the information he found.
This is his habit, to list all the doubts and relationships between the characters clearly, so as to find out the connection.
Linda's identity and photo have been passed on by Amy, the woman who fell into the water has not much information, she came to Lawris's home two years ago to work as a maid, and because she knows several foreign languages, she occasionally acts as a translator. Before she came to Lawris's company, she was mostly a personal assistant or translator, and for the reason of protecting her clients, her previous employer information was not disclosed.
Lauris took Linda on this trip because Phuket is just the first stop on the ship, and they will also travel to other small countries in Southeast Asia before arriving in Australia. Linda's importance, which not only takes care of Lauris's daily life, but also acts as a translator, is highlighted.
Lin Yuhan tapped on the table with a pen, first of all, Shi Yulong had already admitted that he had killed Linda, so Linda ruled out the possibility of the clan falling into the water, because he had no reason to bear the charge of murder for an accident.
Secondly, Shi Yulong's description of the method and time of the killing does not match the scene, which excludes the possibility that he killed someone, and he must be covering up the crime for some people. So much so that he became the next victim.
Thus pushing back the question, who was Linda killed by in the end?
And the badge that Lawris left behind was found at the scene, was his office really stolen?
Why was Amy's bedroom stolen?
So what does Linda do when she goes to Amy's bedroom? Where did she get the key?
Lin Yuhan picked up the landline in front of the desk and called Amy's room through the internal phone: "Hey, Miss Amy, I'm Detective Lin, are you busy?" β
"Mr. Detective, I'm resting, do you have something?"
"Well, I want to ask you a question, according to Shi Yulong's confession, he found Linda inside when he was burglarizing your room, and then killed her."
"Yes, what's the problem? It's a pity that Yu Long is already dead, and there is no way to find out now. β
"No, no, no, I'm not asking the thief's question, it's Linda, does she have the key to your room?"
"This ...... No. β
"And how did she get into your room? Didn't you lock the door last night? β
"No, I'm in the habit of locking doors, and I'm going to be away for a long time, and I remember locking them well. He probably got the key from my fiancΓ©, Lawris has. β
"Then you have to ask if Lawris gave the key to the maid, and if she arranged for her to come to your room to find you."
"Does it matter?" Amy was a little puzzled.
"Well, very important."
"Okay, I'll call you later." Hearing Lin Yuhan's very serious tone, Amy hung up the phone.
A moment later, the phone in front of Lin Yuhan's desk rang.
"Hey." Amy's voice came, "Detective Lin, I asked my fiancΓ© just now, he didn't let Linda come to my room, and the original key to my room is still with him, and it hasn't been lost. β
