"Oh, scientist." Just when Dr. Du Xin nodded frequently, the young man who whistled at Du Xin became angry again.

"I'm not much of a scientist." This polite man didn't wait for the introduction of the old style, took off his glasses and stood up, wearing a black casual suit that fits very well, the shirt is ironed neatly, and the watch complements each other, which has a sense of refinement. His tone is also polished and mellow: "My name is Cao Ye, Cao Cao's Cao, Huo Huaye, just a popular science writer, and I also compile some books for children to read." Suddenly he smiled slyly, and said to the young man who was still half-lying in his chair, "Do you want to change your name to Wormwood Leaf again?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then let out a chuckle, Du Xin also covered his mouth with his hands and didn't turn his head, smiling a little elegantly. The lad sat up straight, and was about to get angry, but when he turned his eyes a few times, and saw that the others were looking at him defensively, he immediately lay down again, and swayed from side to side indifferently.

Lao Feng coughed twice, signaling everyone to turn their attention back, he turned back a page of slides, there were a total of three or four pictures, but they were all blurry, and after careful identification, they found that the photos seemed to be taken under the water, the water quality was a little muddy, and the light was insufficient, but some aquatic plants and rocks could be faintly seen, as well as scattered swimming fish.

"There were seven people on our boat, but only two swam up, and the others were gone." Lao Feng said very seriously. As soon as they heard that human life was involved, everyone couldn't help but sit up straight, after all, human life is bigger than the sky.

"If it comes to this, it's just an accident, but then it's ...... It's more bizarre and incomprehensible. Lao Feng slowed down his speech, and the laser pointer in his hand pointed to the photos at the bottom of the lake again. Here is a photo of the bottom of the lake where the wreck is, and the last GPS record also proves that 078 was sunk in this area, and we organized exploration and salvage with the insurance company for a week, but there was nothing at the bottom of the lake, no wreck, no traces. And we never found the bodies of the missing crew members in these waters, and our five employees were never seen alive or dead. He shifted his gaze from the projection screen to everyone's faces, as if observing everyone's reactions, and the six faces were more or less surprised and puzzled.

"Could it be that the undercurrent will carry the boat somewhere else?" Cao Ye first mentioned the hypothesis. "Or the vortex rolled up the mud and buried the boat."

"At first, we thought the same thing, deliberately expanded the search area, also sent frogmen to explore the bottom of the lake, and even scanned it with sonic equipment, and invested a lot of money, but the result was no, no trace was found, and it disappeared out of thin air."

Lao Feng sighed and said, "It's strange, it's extremely strange, and because of this ......" He paused, as if deciding something, and then continued: "The company is under a lot of pressure, in addition to the loss of ships, the compensation of personnel, and the compensation of millions of goods, which is close to thirteen million in total. ”

"What about insurance? Aren't you all going to be insured? Du Xin was puzzled.

When it finally came to my area of expertise, I coughed and explained as much as I could in an expert manner: "As far as I know, inland waterway insurance has limitations for this situation. Seeing them looking at me together, I raised my voice slightly: "The insurance company's criteria for determining the disappearance and wreck of the ship are different, the wrecked one is relatively simple, there is a logbook, there is GPS positioning, there is a wreck, as long as it is determined that there is no illegal operation during the voyage, and the voyage is forced in a state that is not suitable for navigation, the damage assessment will be obtained." However, this situation is a typical disappearance, and for the compensation of the missing vessel, two conditions must be met at the same time, the first is that the crew and the ship are missing at the same time, and the second is that the disappearance has been more than six months, and now the conditions are not met, the insurance company can refuse to pay the claim. Then I briefly introduced myself: "My name is Situ Ran, and I am a claims adjuster for the insurance company. ”

I think this matter is a bit of a human factor, and after thinking about it, I still feel that I need to hint at the old style: "In fact, this policy of the insurance company is to prevent people from cheating the insurance for various reasons." I raised my eyes to look at Lao Feng, but I didn't find an angry expression, so I continued: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." This is the basic logic of the insurance company, and when this happens, the insurance company will assume that the ship is hidden, and then try to avoid compensation. Of course, if some relationships are hard, they can have different results. ”

Speaking of which, my heart is beating a drum, can't I really try to cheat the insurance? But what did you just say about field work, what exactly is going on?

Lao Feng seemed to guess my thoughts, and solemnly promised: "We have absolutely nothing to do, and we will not use the reputation of the enterprise to cheat funds." We want the truth, an explanation to the families of the crew, an explanation to the entrusted customers, to tell the truth, this industry is very difficult to do now, it has lost its credibility, and we can only close the door. ”

"That's it, I thought it was fun, isn't it just going to that broken lake to sweep the bottom of the lake again, it's not in vain." The young man, who claimed to be surnamed Ai, couldn't help muttering again, and pointed to the other two men who had been silent and asked lightly, "Why don't you speak?" Do you want to go down to the lake to fish for a boat and practice holding your breath? After saying that, he laughed to himself, which seemed to be funny.

A man in his twenties who always sat with his back straight was dressed ordinarily, casually wearing a black jacket, the zipper was mentioned to the top, the whole dress had been washed a little white, his face was sad, but his eyes were very fierce, he turned his head to stare at him, and Mu Mu said, "Let me ...... I...... Dry...... What am I doing...... I'll just ...... Just do it! "It seems to have a stutter.

The other man sitting next to him was a man of considerable taste, his thick hair was not only neat, but also shiny and fresh, without any signs of dandruff, as if he had just been carefully repaired; He put his coat on the back of the chair, revealing a light blue shirt, which was not outstanding, but the material was excellent, and it looked like it had a soft feeling, with a streamer on the cufflinks, and a faint bat pattern on it; There are no sweat stains or stains on the neckline and cuffs, and the nails are neatly trimmed.

Strangely, his skin was not as smooth as this kind of pampered person should be, but rather dark and slightly rough, especially on the back of his left hand, and even had a deep whip mark, which extended all the way to his wrist, and was covered by a string of mahogany beads, which made me feel even more peculiar that his right hand was relatively white, and the two hands hardly looked like they belonged to the same person. But since he sat here, he has always maintained a faint smile, but he has not spoken, and has been meticulously listening to the explanation, and at this time he did not pay attention to the young man surnamed Ai, or put his left hand on the table and knocked on the table silently, and his right finger was half on his temple, staring at the slide, I don't know if he can see where the freighter has gone from the photo at the bottom of the lake.

Lao Feng knocked on the table, motioned for everyone to shift their attention, and said heavily: "Don't guess yet, I'm not asking you to go to Poyang Lake, and the boat is probably not there!" Then another slideshow was played, and it was actually a scrap yard with all kinds of items piled up, and the two men were holding a metal fragment and smiling unnaturally at the camera, and the fragment in their hands was very irregular, but the words "Yun-07" could be clearly seen, and the font was exactly the same as the number of the missing freighter.

We all seemed to have guessed something, and one after the other exclaimed, "Found it? Is this a fragment of a freighter? ”

"Just a week ago, someone posted on the Internet asking what this fragment was? After we found out, we urgently contacted the poster, and he actually said-" Lao Feng looked at us and slowly spit out the answer: "He actually said that he was in Anshun, Anshun Heimaoling, Guizhou." Some Yi mountain people sold him a piece of scrap iron, and said that there were still many in the mountains, and the forests were everywhere. We immediately sent someone to the scrap yard to confirm that the fragment belonged to our 078 freighter, and this photo was taken at that time. ”
