Chapter Twenty-Five: One Man Less

The three men looked at each other.

"Did we miss it?" Li Chaoyang asked.

"No, I'm sure, everybody is registered." Chen Yaodong said.

Sophie said: "Could it be that there were not 100 people on the ship from the beginning, for example, some tourists did not board the ship due to special circumstances. ”

This possibility does exist, but it is very small, this ship has a hundred places, the ticket is very sought-after and even needs to be through the lottery, if someone does not come, they will definitely substitute the plan, there can be no less.

But there is also the possibility that the person disappeared after getting on the boat.

For example, it was like Xiaowen was pushed into the sea.

When I just registered, no one reported that someone was missing, if this is the case, then this person is very likely to be a person, he disappeared and no one noticed and no one knew him, so naturally no one reflected, or his companion was the murderer, and the murderer killed him and deliberately lied to deceive everyone.

"Oh my God, is there a killer lurking in here?" Tong Fei was surprised and didn't know what to say.

Li Chaoyang was full of confidence and thought that he could use this method to verify his judgment, but he didn't expect the result to be greatly beyond his expectations.

The people didn't catch them, but they put them in an even more dangerous situation.

"How can there be one less? So who died? Chen Yaodong, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, also showed fear.

"No, no, no, no, the kidnappers may not be the crew, but also the tourists!" Li Chaoyang lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Last night's storm, he didn't enter the cabin and was outside all the time, maybe he planned it from the beginning, if he was a crew member, then he had never lived with everyone, it was easy to be recognized if he rushed in, if it was a tourist, then he could easily blend in with the crowd." ”

"That's one less, isn't it ninety-seven? Now it's only ninety-six, who is missing? Why didn't anyone else find out? Chen Yaodong asked again.

"His companion, if he is a crew member, then there are two less, if he is not, then one less." Li Chaoyang said.

"That's not right, if it's a tourist, why should that crew cooperate with him?" Tong Fei asked.

"It's simple, fear, all the crew members have run away, he's alone, let us out and what if we hurt him? In this way, they have a basis for cooperation. ”

Chen Yaodong nodded and said, "Okay, even if what you said is right, when did there be such a small number of people?" No one has said that people are missing these days, you must know that there can be monitoring on the ship these days, and if there are fewer people, the crew will definitely find out. ”

"No, you're wrong, the surveillance can only see what is within the surveillance, your so-called 'less' disappears from the boat, such as being pushed into the sea, but what if the person never appears in the surveillance? He never came out of the room since he entered the room? The crew doesn't care about this, let alone care, if there are two people missing, then everyone will definitely find out, so it can be seen that this kidnapper is by no means a crew member, he is a tourist, and he has always lived with us. ”

Li Chaoyang recalled some of the previous details and continued to analyze.

Tong Fei also thought of one thing, every time the manager docked and anchored in the past few days, the manager would count the number of people, if there was less, they would definitely check, since there was nothing, that is to say, when they anchored in Kuala Lumpur the day before yesterday, there were no fewer people on the ship, there were still 100 people.

"When he talks to us, his tone is full of hatred for women, his thoughts are extremely paranoid, in life he is a failure, he has been betrayed by women, he is misanthropic, pessimistic, full of despair about life, he doesn't like to talk, he rarely communicates with people, but he is very cunning, his body is relatively thin, his life is a mess, he is unkempt, he has long hair, or wears a pair of glasses, and he looks like a scholar and professor."

Tong Fei on the side was stunned, isn't this a psychological portrait? Is this guy really just a writer?

"There are several people who wear glasses, but there are no such people as you mentioned." Chen Yaodong said.

"No, there must be, he found out that we realized that it might be exposed when we checked the population, so he disguised it, such as cutting off his hair or shaving his beard, we must have missed something, and then look for it, this time we must search carefully, on the grounds of investigating potential safety hazards, quickly!"

Li Chaoyang turned around and ran, and several other people followed.

said that he wanted to search carefully, but Li Chaoyang almost changed to the next one after just looking at it.

"How are you looking for this? Isn't it necessary to search more carefully? Tong Fei asked.

"You don't understand, our search just now must have made him very flustered, he would never have thought that we would kill us at this time, and he would be even more flustered when he saw us again, which was difficult for him to hide."

"Oh, I see, so people with flat expressions or angry expressions aren't our targets." Chen Yaodong said.

"Yes, that's it."

Just as a few people were talking, the door of the nearby room opened, and a woman walked out, and when she saw everyone, she subconsciously shrank back, and reached out to close the door.

Chen Yaodong took the first step and closed the door.

"Where are you going?" Chen Yaodong pushed open the door and asked.

The woman's face was blue, and her expression was very flustered.

The wardrobe door not far away suddenly moved, Chen Yaodong pushed it open, and the woman quickly stepped forward and pulled the wardrobe door open.

Inside the closet was a little girl of five or six years old, who was holding her knees and staring at everyone with big eyes, looking at everyone with a look of horror.

"Baby."

The woman quickly stepped forward and picked up the little girl.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

"We didn't see this child when we registered just now, where did she come from? Why hide in the closet? Tong Fei asked.

"I see!" Chen Yaodong slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "It turns out that we missed one person, isn't this ninety-seven people?" ”

"That's not right!"

Li Chaoyang shook his head, he glanced at the registration book, this woman's name is Xie Yufang, she is traveling alone, if this child is also among the tourists, then why should she hide it?

"She's smuggled in, isn't she?" Li Chaoyang said.

Xie Yufang's face turned white, and she suddenly knelt in front of everyone while biting her lip.

"I beg you not to tell it, this child is a poor person, I want to take her to her father, I am afraid that her grandmother will not agree and hide her in the box, I beg you......"

"Eldest sister, don't be like this, get up quickly." Tong Fei helped Xie Yufang up.

"This ...... In fact, I was not the only one smuggling on this boat. ”

Xie Yufang's words shocked everyone again.
