Departure Chapter 65 Judgment 8
It is not Peter's style to sit back and wait, and at noon Peter took the opportunity to eat in the restaurant and offered to go to the bathroom.
In fact, Peter slipped out of the cabin to observe the situation. After observing a few days ago, he carefully found that there was a fifteen-minute gap at noon for the guard at the cabin door, and there was no shift guard to guard it, so they all went to eat collectively.
Lots less trouble.
"Damn, how can this be?"
Peter was emotionally charged by the scene in front of him, as the indoor clock pointed to noon during the day, but it was dark on the deck. The sunlight is blocked by the dense fog, and the visibility is less than three meters, which is almost the same as that of a blind person.
A sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.
"What are the crew hiding? But what about the view from the window in the room? ”
A momentary and indirectly ensuing doubt replaced Peter's sense of powerlessness. Then his sense of responsibility as a husband and father strengthened him, and he began to think about what had happened, and his eyes were no longer confused.
With less than fifteen minutes to go, he decided to explore.
Following the route he remembers, Peter walked to the deck stand, which is the place with the best view of the entire cruise ship, which is also the fifth level of the cruise ship.
He wanted to see if he could see the light of the ship's lights in the huge empty stand.
Maybe this idea is too wishful thinking, unrealistic, and difficult to understand or resonate with in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the sake of his loved ones, he is willing to give it a try to verify a certain conjecture in his heart.
When there is no thick fog, the deck grandstand is filled with countless visitors every day to enjoy the scenery and sunbathe. Now, hehe, Peter snorted coldly.
It's hard to imagine that the entire deck is silent, and that daylight doesn't provide any sense of security, and only Peter's own footsteps can be heard clearly.
"There's another world in the fog."
The absurdity of the thought made Peter smile helplessly, and the short few minutes felt quite isolated.
He began to miss the scene of someone being lively, it turned out that the hustle and bustle is also a kind of happiness, and there are fireworks in a lively place.
Gradually, Peter's figure faded away and disappeared into the fog.
After a long time, an abrupt voice rang out in one of the cabin rooms.
"What! You said your husband went missing on the ship? ”
"Ma'am, do you know what you're talking about?"
"I'm sure Peter disappeared on the boat, and he hasn't been seen since he went to the bathroom at noon."
"It's not evening yet, is it? What are you anxious about? Maybe your husband is talking about his life in one of the other ladies' beds right now. ”
Tom, who was in the duty room, pointed to the wall clock on the wall with disdain, he had seen a strict wife, but it was the first time he had seen a woman who could not live without her husband so much.
Obviously, he has only been missing for a few hours, and he began to report his disappearance. As a seasoned veteran, Tom heard that going to the bathroom was gone, and he vaguely felt that this lady's husband was probably meeting "old friends" on the way, and they went to enjoy bliss together, and life was happy.
"What's your attitude? What does it mean to speak? ”
Selena is like a fried-haired lioness, and when two souls come up and ask questions, little Tom is frightened for a while.
After all, Tom is just a small employee.
"Uh...... Madame, I didn't mean that! I mean, is there a possibility, I mean, there is a possibility...... It's only a few hours away from your husband, is there a possibility that he's more playful and has a 'luxury meal' outside where you don't know where he likes to go? ”
"Mom, what do you mean by a lavish meal? Why would Dad secretly go to a lavish dinner alone? Isn't it good to have lunch with us? ”
An untimely and soft voice came, and young Vivien asked her own small questions. Selena immediately blushed and was slightly hot, and she didn't have time to settle accounts with Tom, so she turned to her daughter and said, "Adults don't care about children." Sumptuous dining means literally, eh...... The meaning of a very luxurious meal. ”
"So that's the case, Dad is so stingy, it's just a delicious meal, and he still has to eat secretly, and he doesn't want to eat with me."
Vivien's bulging cheeks were so cute that Selena was speechless about her precious daughter.
Because she was worried that her daughter would be lost, Selena now takes Vivien with her wherever she goes.
It's the duty of being a mother.
Because Selena is the daughter of the earl and has a noble status, Tom still reported it to his superiors as soon as possible, but in order not to cause unnecessary panic, everyone did not say anything.
Selena didn't get too aggressive when she saw that her goal was achieved.
Although she is the daughter of an earl, the family has long been in decline, the strength is not as good as before, the power struggle within the kingdom is serious, and every ambitious person will not be willing to be mediocre. Especially with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of the Steam Age, the collision between the old and the new aristocracy became increasingly intense. The size of the cake is fixed, and before the emergence of new colonies, there will be more monks and less porridge.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and this time my father agrees with Peter's suggestion to return to his hometown to visit, which may not be without the intention of finding a way out.
Open up contacts, leave a back road in advance, and three holes of cunning rabbits.
Pinching the necklace of white jade pearls inlaid with rubies around her neck, Selena's heart sank, and the blood red of the gems deepened again.
This necklace is a magic prop that can bind the lives of two people and detect the health status of the other party in real time. When healthy, the gemstone is green, but once it is injured in a crisis, the gemstone will turn blood red.
Although the family is in decline, there is still a heritage.
If it weren't for the discoloration of the gemstone, how could Selena be in a hurry to report the crime for help. It is certainly angry to be misunderstood by the guard on duty as innocent and moaning, but the worry is far greater than the useless anger.
Listening to the report of his subordinates, Pastin did not look very good, it was good that there was no accident before, but now that there was such an incident, he had to re-evaluate the dense fog.
"Are you saying that according to Mrs. Peter's testimony, Mr. Peter went to the public restroom at noon, but later you investigated and found that Peter did not go, and he deliberately broke through the crowd without a few witnesses?"
"Yes, my investigation is rotten, I haven't found any clues in the cabin, and now there is only one possibility that Peter sneaked up on the outside deck. You might get lost in the fog. ”
The scolding voice responded, Pastin did not follow the annoyance, but calmly sat on the chair and analyzed, "Hey, most of the fierce and auspicious, you can go down and rest, I will think of a way later." By the way, remember to comfort Mr. Peter's family that it is better to stabilize his mood and not make trouble. ”
At the end of the speech, Pastin did not forget to add that he must take care of and comfort his family.
When his subordinates left the captain's room, three figures walked out from behind the screen of the partition, and there were three people in the room who were eavesdropping in secret! Pastin hurriedly got up and stood up to give up his seat.
The leader waved his hand to show that it didn't have to be like this, and it was Lukes who waved.
"Although I don't know the reason for the incident, don't be careless in the coming days, and you must strictly guard the cabin when you go out."
Pastin hurriedly nodded his head and said that he was actively implementing.
"Blake, do you have anything to say? Those present are people who understand. ”
Lux could see that Blake seemed to be a little moved, and had something to say.
"It's nothing, it's just strange why there is not the slightest sign of magic flowing in the dense fog, it should be a formation as usual, and it needs magic to support it to maintain, not to mention such a large dense fog."
"Didn't we look into this information in the first place?" Lux said thoughtfully.
"I just found out that I went outside with Otto to scout again, and I found that there are traces of magic flowing now! It's right on the deck grandstand five floors away. ”
"It's really strange, could it be that the missing person has been to that location, encountered an unknown existence, and fought a big battle? So leave traces of magic. ”
"That Ansel was also a little funny, saying that the employer had broken them down. According to him, after all, it is impossible for several big men to go to the toilet together. ”
……
After some exchanges, everyone felt that they were about to grasp the clues, but they couldn't think of that point.
In desperation, Otto and Blake took the initiative to decide to go out to check tonight, leaving the strongest Lux to guard the interior.
