Several people ran back to the dock, and sure enough, the Queen was still docked there, but the staff was about to close the cabin for maintenance.

"Excuse me! Can you wait a minute! Yan Junli shouted breathlessly, "One of the passengers is missing, and we suspect that she may still be on board!" ”

The staff who closed the hatch was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head, "Impossible, we have already cleaned every room, how can there be anyone on the ship, go look elsewhere, I'm going to close the door." ”

Zhu Zhixin hurriedly squeezed to the front, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but it's my niece who is missing, and I can't find her anywhere, so please open the net, let's go in." ”

"No, no, no, there's no way there's anyone in there." As he spoke, the staff member was about to close the hatch.

"Hey, wait a minute, let them in." Just then, a voice came from the side. turned his head and looked, and sure enough, it was Yin Mingxu.

"I can't find anyone to do such a terrible thing, although I don't know if I can help, but it doesn't matter if the cruise ship is overhauled later." Yin Mingxu said as he asked the staff member just now to make way for a few people.

"Thank you so much." Zhu Zhixin showed a grateful smile and took the lead to climb onto the cruise ship.

"Cut...... Said it was looking for, where to find someone on such a big ship. Zhu Haoran also scolded and followed.

Yang Wenbin and Yan Junli looked at each other, and also climbed onto the boat with the two of them.

Because there were no guests, most of the lights on the cruise were turned off. The sunlight that only came in through the window was not enough to illuminate the huge space in the hall, which was a little eerie.

"Bai Rong! Zhu Bairong! Zhu Zhixin bowed his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted to his mouth, "Zhu Bairong! You're not on board! ”

"Miss Zhu! If you hear it, please answer it! ”

"Miss Zhu Bairong!"

At this moment, Yang Wenbin suddenly stopped, he frowned, and asked softly, "Did you hear any sounds?" ”

"Voice?" Yan Junli was stunned for a moment, and stopped silent. Sure enough, he heard what seemed to be a faint meow from a short distance.

"Cat meows?" Zhu Haoran obviously also noticed, "Is that ......?"

Zhu Zhixin immediately turned around and walked in the direction where the cat's meow came from, and sure enough, not long after walking, they saw Zhu Bairong's Persian cat on the deck. The Persian cat's fluffy white fur was covered with water, making a mess, and it was pitifully cowering in the corner and "meowing".

"Isn't it? How did it end up here? Zhu Zhixin bent down and hugged the cat, and asked suspiciously, "But...... Her cat is here, and where has she gone? ”

"She'......"

I don't know when, Yang Wenbin has come to the edge of the deck, and he is looking down with his elbow on the railing, his voice is a little trembling.

"I think she's here."

"What?" Several people were shocked and hurriedly ran to the edge of the deck.

In the rolling waves under the boat, a human figure can be vaguely seen floating in the water, the white dress stretching in the waves, the necklace around the neck sparkling, and the long black hair floating, like a mermaid in a fairy tale, beautiful and sad.

It's just that everyone clearly knows that it is not a mermaid, but a corpse.

The corpse of Miss Zhu Bairong.

"White Rong !!"

——————————————

Luo Yan, who had no money on her, waited left and right at the door of the hotel, but she couldn't wait for these two people to come back, just when she was about to lose her patience and prepare to fish these two people out of the sea, she saw a small team of several people coming from afar, and Luo Yan pounced on them all at once.

"Oops! You're finally back, I'm about to die of boredom when I'm alone, you-" Before Luo Yan's words could be finished, his attention was attracted by the stretcher covered with white cloth carried by Yan Junli and Zhu Zhixin.

"What, what are you carrying?"

Yan Junli had a black face, his face was hard to see, and Zhu Zhixin, who was walking in front, was full of tears, and the two of them carefully put the stretcher on the ground.

"It's a corpse." Yang Wenbin wiped a handful of water from his face and said coldly.

"Corpse ......" Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dryly, "Ha, haha, how is it possible, you can't scare me if you want to!" ”

Saying that, Luo Yan quickly stretched out his hand and lifted the white cloth, and before the people on the side could stop it, Zhu Bairong's body was exposed to everyone.

"Ah——!!h Luo Yan was so frightened that she fell to the ground all of a sudden, and she was speechless in an instant.

"You!" Zhu Zhixin's face turned red with anger, and he immediately stretched out his hand to hit Luo Yan, but was stopped by Yan Junli, who was quick-eyed, but he couldn't stop scolding in his mouth, "You can steal the necklace and forget it!" What else do you want to do to Bai Rong's body! You stinky girl, did you premeditate, you say! Did you kill Bai Rong! ”

Luo Yan was completely stunned, sitting on the ground and unable to say a word. The decibel of Zhu Zhixin's scolding apparently attracted some attention, and the exposed body drew screams from many unsuspecting tourists.

"What's the matter, what's wrong, Zhu Bairong found it-" Mao Yingqin hurriedly ran out of the hotel with the hem of her coat, and saw the corpse at a glance, and the whole person knelt on the ground as if she had lost her soul, "Oh my God, my God...... She's dead, she's dead! It must have been a curse, the necklace that killed her! ”

Yan Junli hurriedly put the white cloth on the stretcher again, "Calm down!" Calm down! ”

At this time, Yin Mingxu also rushed over, and he was a little stunned when he saw the chaotic scene. Yan Junli sighed helplessly, stood up from the corpse, and asked hopelessly, "Is there a police set up on this island?" ”

Yin Mingxu shook his head, "As far as I know, no, after all, this is a small island that has just been developed, and there are not many tourists ......"

"That's ...... It's going to be hard. Yan Junli looked at the frightened crowd and said embarrassedly, "Even if you call the police now, it will take a day to arrive, not to mention that it is useless to wait for the time to arrive." ”

"But, but, aren't you just a detective?" Yin Mingxu hurriedly said, "Didn't you and Mr. Yang just solve the necklace theft case, then even if it is a murder case, it will definitely be ......."

"How can a murder be compared to a theft?" Yan Junli sighed, "Besides, even if I am a criminal policeman, I can't care about homicide cases outside of City C, and this is not the area I am responsible for for a long time." What's more, this has something to do with the Zhu family—"

"But if you two don't help now, no one can help." Yin Mingxu interrupted Yan Junli's words and said sincerely, "If there is anything I need help with, as long as I can help, I will definitely try my best to help, if not, I can also find the staff on the Queen to help together." ”

Yan Junli seemed to be a little moved by Yin Mingxu's persistence, he turned his head to look at Yang Wenbin, "Mr. Yin said so, what do you think?" ”

Yang Wenbin walked in front of the corpse and squatted down, and said with a smile, "Then, since the situation is indeed like this, we can't do anything about it." Do it yourself. ”

As he spoke, Yang Wenbin lifted the white cloth, revealing Zhu Bairong's head.

Zhu Zhixin couldn't bear to look too much, and Mao Yingqin sobbed and hugged Zhu Haoran.

"Judging from the location where the body was found, I am afraid that Miss Zhu had already fallen into the water when the boat was still sailing, and then the body drifted all the way along the current, and was finally found by us." Yang Wenbin said, and lifted the white cloth on the corpse's feet. The corpse's feet were tied up with a fabric twisted into a rope, and the ends were tattered as if something had torn them apart.

Yang Wenbin patiently pulled the piece of fabric, and finally untied it smoothly and stretched it flat.

The sharp-eyed Zhu Haoran recognized the appearance of the cloth at a glance, "Ah, this is not ...... Did Zhu Bairong have a small coat with this dress? ”

"I am afraid that in order to add weight to the body and not to float, I deliberately used cloth as a rope and tied some heavy objects to my feet. It's just that I didn't expect that the load-bearing of the fabric of this dress was very poor, and it was torn off in two clicks, so the body also floated to the shore along the current. Yang Wenbin held the piece of fabric and looked left and right.

"This cloth is the cloth on Zhu Bairong's clothes, is that ......" Yin Mingxu couldn't help but say, "It's Miss Zhu Bairong, who tied it up herself?" ”

Yan Junli also frowned and asked, "Did Zhu Bairong commit suicide?" ”

Several people in the Zhu family looked at each other, and Mao Yingqin suddenly cried uncontrollably, "It's a shame! I knew it! I knew that necklace was going to kill you! It must be the curse of that necklace, first Zhu Bairong, and then it's our turn! ”

"No, it's not." At this time, Yang Wenbin opened his mouth to interrupt the speculation of several people, "Zhu Bairong definitely didn't commit suicide. ”

"How?" Yan Junli leaned over.

"Do you have gloves?" Yang Wenbin stretched out his hand to Yan Junli, Yan Junli sighed, and really took out a pair of plastic gloves from his coat and threw them to Yang Wenbin.

"I forgot to take it out when I went out, but I didn't expect it to be used."

Yang Wenbin put on his gloves and said, "First of all, the most obvious characteristic of a drowning person is that there will be a white foam around the mouth, because when drowning, seawater pours into the lungs, and the lungs are stimulated to secrete mucus, and the mucus will form foam when it is mixed with seawater and air." ”

As he spoke, Yang Wenbin opened the corpse's mouth and slid his fingertips around his mouth, "But there is no foam in Miss Zhu's mouth." Moreover, people who drown to death are generally extremely painful and will struggle desperately before dying, but Miss Zhu's expression is really too peaceful for a person who has drowned. However, the most obvious thing is the fabric tied to her feet. ”

"Isn't the fabric her own clothes?" Zhu Zhixin asked.
