Around eight o'clock in the morning.

Port of Los Angeles.

As far as the eye can see, freighters moored in the designated area sway, and the waves crash, bringing bursts of moist moisture.

Dean took the sleepy Harry and the two of them and frowned at the port staff who received them, "You mean, the Elizabeth cruise ship will need at least two hours to return to port?" ”

The staff nodded: "Yes, Mr. Inspector, their communication feedback is this time." ”

"Okay, thanks, when they come back, please call us."

"No problem."

The staff politely exited the reception room.

As soon as the person leaves.

Harry let out a long yawn: "Dean, since the cruise ship hasn't docked yet, I'll sleep first, or I feel like I'm going to die suddenly at any time." ”

He and Carlo, these days all night playing games.

When you play the game, you don't feel tired yet.

As soon as I left the game, I now only feel light and fluttering, my eyelids are as heavy as a thousand pounds, and I want to lie down when I lean on something.

While Harry was talking.

Carlo's snoring was already ringing from the side.

Looked at.

Dean was a little speechless: "Man, I really don't understand why that rotten game is so appealing to you, you and Carlo are now like drug addicts, and we can't help ourselves." ”

Harry was shocked when he heard the game:

"I don't know why.

That game has a lot of small levels.

Each level has a special easter egg, which makes people can't help but want to play the next level after passing one level, and they can't even notice the passage of time.

Dean, you really should give it a try. ”

"You're out of control, go to sleep, I'll need your help later!"

Dean clenched his fists, and finally gave up on helping the two guys quit their internet addiction.

He suspected that even a woman who perfectly matched Harry's X fetish would not be able to arouse the interest of this guy standing in front of Harry in a game state.

It can only be said.

These two guys are trapped in that pixel game.

This situation is really a bit strange.

Because normal games, although there will be attractive points, it is difficult for a mature adult to fall into this way in a short period of time.

Especially Carlo, his willpower, concentration and self-control are much stronger than Harry's cowardice.

But his situation is even more serious than Harry's.

This made Dean suspect that the game's designer, who was very proficient in psychology, turned the game into a psychotropic drug by guiding the game's intellectual curiosity, interests, and other means.

"Something is wrong with this game!"

Dean touched his chin, ready to try that little game and get to the bottom of it when the cruise case was dealt with.

As for the state of Harry and Caro, it is actually very easy to solve.

Just force them to quit.

After that addiction.

Sanity returns.

Harry and Carlo, they will understand that they were too stunned before!

Half past ten in the morning.

Dean was bored playing with his gun, but he didn't wait for the port staff to announce it.

He began to wonder if there was something wrong with the cruise ship.

On the vast sea, a cruise ship is actually equivalent to a secret room.

If there is a perverted murderer mixed in.

That's really a place to escape.

Besides.

Some kidnappers also like to use this kind of offshore cruise ship where the rich are concentrated as high-quality kidnapping and ransom targets.

Just when he was thinking cranky.

The landline phone in the reception room rings.

Dean picked it up.

"Mr. Inspector, the Elizabeth cruise ship has completed docking, and all the passengers have been temporarily placed in the VIP lounge, but their status is a little special, I hope you can come and deal with it as soon as possible."

"Got it!"

Hang up.

A cold tread flashed in Dean's eyes.

He had already asked the port side to communicate so that everyone would stay on board after the cruise ship arrived.

Unexpectedly, the group of people directly ignored the side of the police detective bureau.

This also shows that the energy of this group of rich women is not low.

Without figuring out their details, I need to keep a low profile.

Come to think of it.

Dean let out a depressive breath and kicked Harry and Caro to wake them up: "Let's go, the cruise ship is docked." ”

Young man, recover quickly.

I slept for more than two hours.

Harry and Carlo, who have recovered a lot, finally don't have the kind of wilting bar that can die suddenly at any time.

Come to the VIP reception room at the port.

The people inside were divided into three groups.

More than a dozen men and women dressed in waiter costumes, followed by a small old man, sat closest to the door.

These people should be the ship's crew.

Afterwards.

It is five handsome young men who are masculine, feminine, or handsome, sitting in the middle with different expressions.

These people needless to say.

Ducklings.

At the very back of the reception room, there were seven ladies of different ages and exquisite costumes, surrounded by a middle-aged woman with silver hair and a dignified temperament, talking and laughing from time to time.

These people should be the rich women in Hawke's mouth.

They were the most relaxed, and they were not at all worried about the death of someone on the cruise ship.

Bang Bang Bang ~

Dean slapped his face, attracting everyone's attention: "Good afternoon, I'm Inspector Dean of the Los Angeles Police Department, Fourth Squadron, we received your alarm, and now we need to understand the situation." ”

The crowd looked at the innermost silver-haired woman.

She raised her chin slightly and said coldly: "Since you are here, just let Captain Donnell tell you about the specific situation, we are tired and need to go back to rest!"

If you need it, contact us again! ”

Dean smiled slightly: "Of course there is no problem, ladies and gentlemen, you can leave after leaving your contact information with my colleagues, but please do not leave Los Angeles in the near future, so as not to cause misunderstanding." ”

"Of course no problem!"

This silver-haired woman obviously has a special status in the group of seven rich women.

After she left her business card and gave it to Harry, the other six women also cooperated to leave their business cards and walked outside.

Reception outside.

The vehicles that picked up and dropped off these rich women had long been parked.

Others, not so lucky.

They need to go to the precinct and take notes.

Busy for half a day.

In the end, only a little old man with a gray beard remained in the reception room.

He introduced himself quite politely: "Hello Mr. Inspector, I am Captain Donnell of the Elizabeth cruise ship, if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask me directly." ”

"Mr. Donal, is the body still on board?" , Dean asks directly about the key.

Donnell nodded:

"Yes, this murder case happened on Ms. Moreth's cruise ship, and in order to avoid some rumors from spreading, Ms. Moreth attaches great importance to this matter.

Since the discovery of the body, the area has been cordoned off and left untouched! ”

Hear this.

Dean breathed a sigh of relief.

It is good that the crime scene is not destroyed.

For this kind of case involving rich people.

Many of his methods are not suitable for use, and the integrity and legitimacy of the evidence chain must be ensured.

In this case, the complete crime scene is undoubtedly important.

Led by Captain Donnell.

Several people walked towards the Elizabeth cruise ship, which was docked at a special berth.

According to Donal's presentation.

At present, there are still crew members on standby on the cruise ship Elizabeth who have not left.

Besides.

On the cruise ship, the deceased's friend also stayed.

Walk through some of the buildings in the harbor.

Conversations.

A large white cruise ship with three floors appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"This is the Elizabeth." Donal's eyes showed pride: "The Elizabeth is one of the few small and medium-sized cruise ships in Los Angeles with the ability to sail long distances, and it has a great reputation in the rich circle. ”

"You call this a small or medium-sized cruise ship?"

Harry pouted: "This guy is two laps bigger than my apartment building." ”

"That's true." , Donnell shrugged: "That's the happiness of the rich." ”

"Alright, Captain Donal, please take us to see the dead as soon as possible." Dean interrupted the little old man, who had a lot of words.

Donnell raised an eyebrow at Harry and led the group up the tail aisle of the cruise ship.

The Elizabeth is divided into three levels.

The passage is located on the second floor.

Donnell explained as he walked: "The bottom is the accommodation of the staff, and the second floor is the accommodation and communication of the guests, and the bodies are also located on this floor. ”

Walk through the passage.

A glass house, which has obviously been specially remodeled, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

through the glass.

The crowd could see some green plants, with brightly colored snakes, crawling lizards, and large spiders weaving white webs

"This place is an ecological space that Ms. Morles has spent a lot of money to renovate, and she loves these things, even if it is on the cruise ship, it is specially equipped with these gadgets."

"Well, the happiness of the rich, indeed, is unimaginable." Harry couldn't help but smash his mouth.

Dean glanced at it, but grinned, "It should still be a place for those beautiful ladies to communicate, right?" ”

Donnell smiled but didn't say a word.

After continuing to walk for about ten meters.

A small living room, in front of everyone.

Donnell stopped and pointed ahead: "The body is in the living room, this is the second place of communication, and there are friends of the deceased and the crew I arranged. ”

That's when it happened.

It seems to hear movement outside.

In the small living room, a majestic figure holding a sausage and eating with a mouth full of oil walked out of it, still muttering: "Those policemen haven't come yet, I still want to take the opportunity to go home. Well? ”

He paused, looked at Dean standing in front of him stupidly, and looked confused.

"Dean?"

"Baker!"

Dean's face was full of strangeness: "Didn't you follow your second uncle to hunt for treasure, how could you appear on this yacht?" ”

This person is actually his eldest brother Baker!

Baker swallowed the food in his mouth, his face full of embarrassment and crampedness, "Ahem, Dean, that."

"He's the deceased's best friend!" , Captain Donnell directly helped Baker make an introduction.

Dean slapped his forehead with his right hand speechlessly.

Big brother, is this going to the sea?

The family is unfortunate, and it is evil!

Dean: "Thank you for the 500 book coins from the book friend, thank you, boss!" ”

Thank you for the tips from the '20170518001944892' book friends, and thank you to the boss!
