Chapter 129: The Island of Devourers (8)
When the two exchanged glances, Xiao Tian also woke up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He also leaned over to the round window and looked out.
At this glance, the whole person is a spirit.
"Director! Managing director! ”
The sleeping director was almost dragged by Xiao Tianyi to the round window.
"This ...... This ......"
When the director saw the ship, he was completely sleepy, and his face was full of surprise.
Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo handed the buffalo director an inquiring look, meaning that this is the missing ship?
The buffalo chief nodded slightly.
"Let's go out and have a look, the boat boss says it's a ghost ship."
Director Buffalo and Xiao Tian both gasped.
Ghost Ship ...... I'm afraid it's unlikely that the missing people will survive.
At this moment, all the sailors gathered on the side of the ship, judging the ghost ship while waiting for the decision of the ship's boss.
"Board the ship!"
Either ignore the ghost ship and continue to drift, pinning all hope on rescue, or go over and see if the ship can still start, even if the ship is broken, it will not be a loss-making transaction to bring some food and use.
The decision was not difficult.
Soon, the two sailors who followed the captain of the boat lowered the raft into the water.
A sailor jumped on the raft, and just as the captain of the boat was about to pick up the raft, Brother Kun reached out and saw him blocking it.
"This little thing, the boat boss doesn't have to do it himself, if something happens, if you are injured and die, you will be in trouble, and a boatload of people is counting on you."
Everyone can see that Kun Shao is afraid that if the ship can start, the boat boss will leave alone with his men, there is sailing experience, and the only one who can drive the boat to bring everyone back to land is the boat boss.
There was anger on the face of the boat boss, but he dared not speak angrily.
Brother Kun didn't look at him at all, turned directly to the four criminal policemen, and pointed his finger and said, "You two go over." ”
The two people he ordered happened to be Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo.
"What are you doing? Why don't you go yet?! The attendant behind Brother Kun pushed Yan Ruyu.
The Buffalo Chief stepped forward and said, "I'll do it for him!" He can't swim! ”
"Can't swim? Hum! The sailor who was beaten by Wu Cuo said angrily: "Then dare to get on the boat?" Sent to the dead? ”
"I'll go." Yan Ruyu slowly descended onto the raft.
When Wu Cuo also got on the raft, Brother Kun pointed to the buffalo and Xiao Tian and said: "There are still two criminal policemen in our hands, I warn you, if you dare to play tricks, our companions will die!" ”
The four of them glanced at each other, all of them reassuring each other.
The sailors paddled, and the raft slowly approached the ghost boat.
I don't know if I was infected by the weird atmosphere, the closer I got closer, the more cold Wu Cuo felt, and even shivered.
Without a word, he said to the sailor, "Brother, what do you call it?" ”
"Just call me the first mate, I've been with the ship boss for the longest time, and the ship boss values me, so everyone else calls me that."
The first mate seemed to be a middle-aged man who was very good at talking, and as soon as Wu Cuo asked this, he opened the conversation.
"It's your first time at sea, am I right? …… We must have already passed Laitou Island, and if we go any further, we have no hope of meeting the island...... When we get on the boat later, I'll check the engine and other equipment first, and you two will check the cabin and take inventory of the food, and in case the ship fails, we'll have to take the things away......"
In the midst of his nagging, the raft finally hit the ghost ship.
The first mate threw out a rope, which happened to be spared on the railing on the side of the ship and drooped.
"I'll go first!"
Wu mistakenly grabbed the rope in his hand, kicked the hull of the boat, and went to the deck in a few clicks.
"There was no one on board! Boss Yan, on! ”
Yan Ruyu was much slower than Wu Cuo, and finally boarded the ship with the help of the two.
The first mate was also very skilled, and when he got on board, he tied the rope to the railing on the side of the boat, and the other end of the rope was attached to the raft to prevent it from drifting away.
"I'm going to check the engine!"
With a brief explanation, the first mate went to the bottom of the hull, where the engine was.
Wu Cuo was about to open the cabin, but was dragged by Yan Ruyu.
"Go check the cab first!"
The lights in the wheelhouse are still on, giving the impression that the captain and crew may come in at any moment.
The console with its buttons, knobs, and dashboards looks clean, with nothing but a folder on it.
Yan Ruyu flipped through the folder, and a ballpoint pen rolled to the console first.
It was a folder with a clip inside, and there was a pile of things like a logbook in the folder, but unfortunately there were only lines of numbers on it, which looked like coordinates, and there was not a single Chinese character, so I really couldn't see any clues.
Wu Cuo unwillingly flipped through the pages, and a little red on the edge of one of the papers caught his attention.
It's not a red color that drips or splatters directly, but a little bit of red liquid that seeps down from the top layer of paper and is wiped before drying.
Wu Cuo put the page under the lamp to look at it carefully, and sniffed it.
"You're a police dog?"
Yan Ruyu directly broke the clip, took out the page, folded it, and put it in his pocket.
"Check somewhere else."
"Gotcha."
Soon, in the gap between the lower console and the cab floor, a different color once again attracted Wu Cuo's attention.
"Boss Yan! Look here! ”
The two knelt on the ground together, and Wu Cuo tucked the hem of his shirt into the gap and rubbed it a few times.
The hem of the shirt was dyed a deep red, with a faint fishy smell.
It's blood!
Along the cracks, there were as many as 3 places with blood stains.
"Somebody was killed here, and...... The scene has been cleaned up, and this ghost ship is disguised by the murderer! When he said these words, Yan Ruyu himself felt a chill in his back, this should be the weirdest crime scene he had ever visited.
He stepped out of the cab and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
As long as you see that this is just a crime scene, not some ghost ship, wouldn't it be easier to do?
"Let's go, check the cabin." Wu said wrongly.
"Here it is."
The cabins, like all ghost ships, are neat and orderly.
The backpacks of the two missing detectives are still there, with a change of clothes in them, and a copy of Agatha's mystery novel on one of the beds.
To Yan Ruyu's delight, she found a box of cigarettes and a lighter in a backpack.
"Haha!"
Yan Ruyu suddenly smiled with her hands dancing, which startled Wu Cuo first.
"Holy! Boss! You are crazy?! ”
Yan Ruyu couldn't care about Wu Cuo's sarcasm, lit a cigarette and took a hard puff.
I can't wait to finish a cigarette in one sip.
"Here's one!"
Yan Ruyu threw Wu Cuo a cigarette and lit it for him.
"Finally! …… Finally! ......" Yan Ruyu sighed a few times and lit another cigarette.
After he finished smoking the second cigarette three times or two, he said, "Don't you think there's something missing here?" ”
"Missing...... What the? ”
"They are criminal policemen, and this time they went to sea by boat to handle the case, how could they not bring the case file."
"The case file is gone! Someone took the case file! Wu Cuo suddenly realized, "But, why?" ”
Yan Ruyu opened the hatch, "It's hard to say now, in short, some people don't want them to find out anymore, and they don't want the clues they have already found to be discovered...... There's nothing to check here, so let's check out the other cabins. ”
A very hidden stain of blood was also found in the cabin where the sailors were resting, but there was nothing else, but there were some new discoveries in the hold.
The ship's cargo hold was small, and the cargo inside was pitiful, except for quick hot food, fresh water, and some life-saving equipment for the coast guard officers and soldiers.
The warehouse is about 10 square meters, and these things are stacked in the innermost part of the warehouse.
It's not an exaggeration to say it's stacked, because it's quite messy.
"The coast guard shouldn't be so sloppy, right?" Yan Ruyu asked.
"Absolutely not!" Wu Cuo pointed to the traces on the ground and said, "These two large vats containing fresh water have traces of being dragged, and the traces are very new, they were pushed inside from the door. ”
Wu Cuo stepped forward and pushed the bucket a few times, but the bucket did not move.
"It's so heavy, who has nothing to do with it? There's got to be a reason for moving this thing! ”
"Make room for something else!" Yan Ruyu said: "Right where we are standing, there should have been other things stored, in order to store these things, the big bucket was pushed inside, but now these things are gone...... What could it be? ”
The two of them were pondering when there was a sudden bang behind them.
The hatch is closed!
This was followed by a clattering lock, and someone locked the hatch from the outside!
