HIADDYTHIAMOCI Chapter 57
by REX-NOVELISTSThe person who fell into the sea was quickly fished out, but they were no longer breathing.
But Zheng Rufeng and Lin Yuan happened to be on the deck below, so the sound was even clearer.
When Zheng Rufeng and Lin Yuan appeared there, the crew had already begun emergency rescue efforts on the person who fell into the sea, but the results were not satisfactory.
“Was it a wrist cutting? I even saw the blood up there.”
Several crew members discussed, at a loss for what to do.
Their captain was on his way, and Zheng Rufeng, watching from a distance, frowned slightly, wanting to step forward.
“Don’t go.”
Lin Yuan pulled the man back, gesturing for him to look around.
Zheng Rufeng finally realized it.
Most people would avoid such things, not actively approach them.
He almost made a mistake.
The two of them didn’t rush back to their rooms; they planned to come to the rear deck to take a look.
“What did you see?”
Zheng Rufeng asked first.
There was no one around them unless they were close enough to hear what they were saying.
It was very likely man-made.
But who would attack an ordinary crew member?
“I heard Director Lin say you’re quite good at that hacker stuff? Can you check this person’s information and see if they offended anyone?”
“Okay, I’ll check when I get back.”
Since he could invade the ship’s network, Lin Yuan could basically get his hands on everyone’s information.
Lin Yuan found a place with fewer people and voiced his conjecture.
“This whole thing is likely a warning, our going out will expose us. Where did the police get the information from?”
Zheng Rufeng naturally knew that he was talking about the contraband on the ship.
“We have an undercover agent at the ship’s departure point. They clearly stated that something was wrong with the ship, with an 80% probability of contraband being present.”
“What’s the main reason?”
This conclusion couldn’t have been reached just like that.
This question wasn’t easy to answer either. Zheng Rufeng sighed and took out a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it.
“A new drug has been developed, and these damn guys are planning to transport it to Sea City as the first batch of test sites.”
In other words, they were being used as guinea pigs.
If the effects were good, some of the quantity could be transported to other cities.
As long as there was demand for such transactions, this batch of drugs would be considered successful.
“Before coming, I already checked the surveillance in the ship’s cargo hold and didn’t find anything unusual, except for a combination lock.”
“It’s unlikely to be there, we suspect they should be carrying it with them.”
Zheng Rufeng said.
But in that case, the object would be bigger, making it harder to find.
“Could this crew member’s death also be a bit strange?”
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yuan said.
“What do you mean?”
If it wasn’t because of the public reason that caused the crew member’s death, and if it wasn’t suicide, then there was a possibility of them being silenced.
At sea, it wasn’t difficult to do.
Just as the two were talking, a beautiful woman in a red cheongsam walked over, a proper smile on her face, carrying two glasses of red wine.
Lin Yuan didn’t drink much, so he declined.
Zheng Rufeng was more vigilant and didn’t drink either.
“Okay, sorry to bother you.”
The beautiful woman didn’t press, smiling as she turned and left, going to ask the next guest.
After circling the deck with the red wine, she stepped on her delicate high heels and came to the back of the wine counter, where a man was standing in the shadows.
“How is it?”
Of the few onlookers who discovered the crew member’s death earlier, only a few went forward to investigate, Zheng Rufeng being one of them.
“Those two looked like they were both Chinese. I don’t know if they were not interested in wine, or if they were afraid of delaying things.”
Compared to foreigners, there weren’t many Chinese people who came out to play and drink wine.
Besides, the specifications of the wine on this ship weren’t particularly high.
“…Keep an eye on them.”
He felt that anyone who could hear the movement and come over immediately was a bit suspicious.
The beautiful woman put the wine aside; there were no drugs in these wines, otherwise, it would be too obvious.
She picked up the wine glass and took a light sip, her gaze falling on the huge wine cabinet in front of her.
“This guy really has ideas, actually putting the stuff so openly under everyone’s noses, isn’t he afraid someone will open it?”
“Heh, there are only one or two people on this ship who can afford that much money.”
Putting it here was the greatest guarantee.
“…Hen Lier, you wouldn’t secretly try it behind my back, would you?”
“How could I? This time the new product is priced by the gram, and I’d be responsible for even a single gram missing. Darling, don’t be so quick to suspect me.”
“It better be.”
…………
That night, Lin Yuan investigated all the information about the crew member and sent it to Zheng Rufeng and others, and then they prepared to investigate openly.
As a result, they had only rested for one night, and their energy hadn’t even recovered yet.
Someone was already cleaning the deck in the morning, scrubbing the pure black planks carefully, and the captain already had cold sweat on his forehead.
He looked at his phone and dialed a number.
Lin Yuan, lying on the ** bed, saw the unfamiliar number on his phone. He answered it and received the shocking news of another crew member’s death.
“Before we figure out the situation, don’t panic. Take the body to the storage hold, we’ll be over in a while.”
One person had just died, and now another one had, and the two even had some grudges.
Lin Yuan didn’t believe it could be such a coincidence.
