reckless detective

Chapter 116: People-Swallowing Island (8)

When the two exchanged glances, Xiao Tian also woke up.

He also moved to the round window and looked out.

Seeing this, the whole person was shocked.

"Director! Director!"

The sleeping chief was almost dragged to the round window by Xiao Tian.

"This this……"

When the director saw the ship, he was completely relieved and his face was full of surprise.

Yan Ruyu and Wu mistakenly gave Director Buffalo a questioning look, meaning is this the missing ship?
Chief Buffalo nodded slightly.

"Go out and have a look, the boss of the ship said it was a ghost ship."

Director Buffalo and Xiao Tian both gasped.

The ghost ship... I'm afraid, the possibility of the missing people surviving is not great.

At this moment, all the sailors gathered on the side of the ship, commenting on the ghost ship while waiting for the decision of the ship's boss.

"Board!"

Either ignore the ghost ship and continue to drift, and put all your hopes on rescue, or go to see if the ship can still start. Even if the ship breaks down, it will not be a loss-making business to bring some food and use it.

The decision was not difficult.

Soon, the two sailors following the boss of the boat lowered the raft into the water.

A sailor jumped onto the raft, but when the boss of the boat was about to pick up the raft, Brother Kun stretched out his hand to see him blocking it.

"The boss of the boat doesn't have to do it himself for such a small matter. If something happens, it will be troublesome if you get injured or die. Everyone in the boat is counting on you."

Everyone can see that Mr. Kun is afraid that if the ship can start, the boss of the boat will leave alone with his men. There is experience in sailing here, and the boss of the boat is the only one who can bring everyone back to land.

The boss of the boat had anger on his face, but he dared not speak out.

Brother Kun stopped looking at him at all, and turned directly to the four criminal policemen, pointing his finger and saying, "You two go over."

The two he ordered happened to be Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo.

"Why are you standing there? Why don't you go quickly?!" The attendant behind Brother Kun gave Yan Ruyu a push.

The buffalo chief stepped forward and said, "I'll replace him! He can't swim!"

"Can't swim? Huh!" The sailor who was beaten by Wu wrongly said, "How dare you get on the boat? Did you send him to die?"

"I'll go." Yan Ruyu slowly got down on the raft.

When Wu Cuo also boarded the raft, Brother Kun pointed at the buffalo and Xiao Tian and said, "We still have two criminal policemen in our hands. I warn you, our comrades who dare to play tricks will die!"

The four of them looked at each other with reassuring eyes.

The sailor paddled, and the raft slowly approached the ghost ship.

I don't know if he was infected by the weird atmosphere, the closer he got, the colder Wu Cuo felt, and he even shivered.

He said to the sailor without words: "Brother, what's your name?"

"You can just call me the first mate. I have spent the longest time with the boss of the ship. The boss of the ship thinks highly of me, so everyone calls me that."

The first officer seemed to be a very talkative middle-aged man, and Wu Cuo asked, and he opened up the chatterbox.

"It looks like you are going out to sea for the first time, am I right?... We must have already passed Laitou Island, and if we go forward, there is no hope of encountering the island... I will check when I get on the boat. The engine and other equipment, you two mainly check the cabin, count the food and supplies, in case the ship fails, we have to take things away..."

Amidst his nagging, the leather raft finally hit the ghost ship.

The mate threw out a rope, which caught just a moment over the rail and sagged.

"I'll go first!"

Wu mistakenly grabbed the rope, stepped on the hull of the boat, and got on the deck in a few strokes.

"There is no one on board! Old Yan, get on!"

Yan Ruyu was much slower than Wu Cuo, and finally boarded the boat with the help of the two.

The first mate was also skilled. After boarding the boat, he tied the rope to the railing of the ship, and the other end of the rope was connected to the skin raft to prevent the skin raft from drifting away.

"I'm going to check the engine!"

After a brief explanation, the first officer got to the bottom of the hull, where the engine was located.

Wu Cuo was about to open the cabin, but was dragged by Yan Ruyu.

"Go check the cab first!"

The lights in the wheelhouse were still on, giving the impression that the captain and crew might come in at any moment.

The console, with its various buttons, knobs, and gauges, looks clean, with nothing on it except a folder.

Yan Ruyu opened the folder, and a ballpoint pen rolled onto the console first.

It was a folder with a folder inside, and there was a stack of things like a flight log in the folder, but unfortunately there were only lines of numbers on it, which looked like coordinates, without a single Chinese character, so there was really no clue.

Unwillingly, Wu Cuo turned over the pages, and a little red on the edge of a piece of paper caught his attention.

Not a direct drip or splash of red, but a little bit of red liquid that seemed to seep from the upper layer of paper and was smeared before it dried.

Wu Cuo put the page under the lamp to read it carefully, and even sniffed it.

"Are you a police dog?"

Yan Ruyu directly opened the clip, took out the page, folded it up, and put it in her pocket.

"Quickly check elsewhere."

"Got it."

Soon, in the gap between the bottom of the console and the ground of the cab, a different color attracted Wu Cuo's attention again.

"Old Yan! Look here!"

The two knelt on the ground together, and Wu Cuo stuffed the hem of his shirt into the gap and rubbed it hard a few times.

The hem of the shirt was stained a deep red, with a faint fishy smell.

is blood!

I searched all the way along the gap, and there were as many as three blood-stained places.

"Someone was killed here, and... the scene has been cleaned up, this ghost ship was disguised by the murderer!" When Yan Ruyu said these words, his back felt chills. This should be the weirdest thing he has ever been here. crime scene.

He stepped out of the cab and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Wouldn't it be easy to see that this was just a crime scene, not a ghost ship?

"Let's go, check the cabin." Wu wrongly said.

"Here comes."

The cabin, like all ghost ships, is neat and orderly.

The backpacks of the two missing criminal policemen are still there, and there are some changes of clothes in them, and a mystery novel by Agatha is also buckled on one of the beds.

What made Yan Ruyu happy was that she found a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in a backpack.

"Ha ha!"

Yan Ruyu suddenly danced and smiled, which startled Wu Cuo first.

"Damn it! Old Yan! Are you crazy?!"

Yan Ruyu couldn't care less about Wu Cuo's sarcasm, so she lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

This puff makes me want to smoke the whole cigarette.

"Come 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 smoked the second cigarette three times, he said, "Don't you think there is something missing here?"

"What is missing?"

"They are criminal police. This time they went out to sea by boat to handle the case. How could they not bring the case file with them?"

"The case is gone! Someone took the case!" Wu Cuo suddenly realized, "But why?"

Yan Ruyu opened the cabin door, "It's hard to say now. In short, some people don't want them to check out, and they don't want the clues they have already found to be discovered...There is nothing to check here, so let's check other cabins."

A very hidden bloodstain was also found in the cabin where the sailors were resting. There was nothing else, but some new discoveries were made in the cargo warehouse.

The ship's cargo hold is very small, and the cargo inside is pitifully small, but it is quick-heating food, fresh water, and some life-saving appliances for the marine police officers and soldiers.

The warehouse is about 10 square meters, and all these things are stacked in the innermost position of the warehouse.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are stacked, because those things are indeed quite messy.

"Shouldn't the coast guard be so sloppy?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"Absolutely not!" Wu Cuo pointed to the traces on the ground: "These two vats containing fresh water have traces of being dragged, and the traces are very new. They were pushed in from the door."

Wu Cuo stepped forward and pushed the vat hard a few times, but the vat remained motionless.

"It's so heavy, who can push it to play? There must be a reason for moving this thing!"

"Make room for other things!" Yan Ruyu said, "At the place where we are standing, other things should have been stored in the past. In order to store these things, the big bucket was pushed into it, but now these things are gone... it will be what?"

The two were thinking about it when there was a sudden bang behind them.

The hatch is closed!
Then there was the sound of locking, and someone locked the hatch from the outside!
