Four years ago, somewhere in the south.
Early in the morning, on the yacht.
A woman was dressing up in her bedroom in the cabin. She was wearing a nightgown with golden lace. She combed her reddish-brown hair and hummed a popular song at the time, "A Song of Red Dust."
"Who writes the butterfly into a tablet, who waits for a thousand years. There are always dreams in the world of mortals, why ask about right and wrong …"
She was dressing up in front of the mirror and singing, but the woman's face was frowning and filled with bitterness.
In the mirror, she was no longer youthful and beautiful. Although she was still elegant and dignified, she was no longer in her prime …
"How much frost, how much heartbreak, how much helplessness, how much falling flowers like water, only then do I know the preciousness of the flowering season …"
The lyrics were sorrowful and resonated with her, making her even more melancholic …
However, while the beauty was still reminiscing, the yacht suddenly shook so violently that she almost lost her balance.
"Ouch …" She quickly grabbed onto the dressing table to prevent herself from falling to the ground.
"What's wrong?" She quickly put down the comb in her hand and ran to the balcony.
When she opened the door to the balcony, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the air was filled with a damp and cold sea fog.
"No way!" Soon, the woman saw that the yacht had hit a black reef below the balcony.
The reef was hidden in the sea fog. It should be a rather large reef beach …
"How could this be!" The woman knew that the yacht might have run aground. She immediately opened the door and ran into the cabin.
As she ran, she shouted, "Hey, how could you drive the yacht? How could you hit a reef?"
However, after shouting a few times, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. The cabin was flashing red lights, and there was an alarm coming from the head of the bed. However, there was no one in the cabin!
"No way? What's going on? " In an instant, the woman felt an uncontrollable fear. It was as if everyone else on the yacht had disappeared, and she was the only one left.
However, when she ran to the center of the cabin, she finally saw her two companions lying on the sofa. They were the office director of Tianqin Group, Guan Xiujie, who was also the yacht captain, and the general manager of the company, Lei Dasheng.
"Guan, Guan …" The woman quickly ran over and pushed Guan Xiujie, shouting, "Wake up, wake up! The yacht is stranded … "
"Oh … oh …" Guan Xiujie slowly woke up from the pushing and shoving, but there was clearly something wrong with his mental state, and he seemed to be in a daze.
The woman panicked. She immediately picked up a wine glass and poured the wine on Guan Xiujie's face.
"Oh, oh, oh …" Guan Xiujie finally woke up. He covered his head and looked around in a daze.
"You're doomed!" The woman shouted. "The yacht is stranded! Idiot! "
"Ah?" Guan Xiujie saw the flashing red light on the bulkhead and realized that something big had happened. He quickly ran to the bow.
The woman then looked at Lei Dasheng beside her. She didn't expect that Lei Dasheng would still be in a deep sleep even though the ship was so lively …
However, there was a sound coming from the stairs on one side. Li Qin, the manager of Tianqin Group, staggered up the stairs and asked weakly, "What's wrong? What's going on? Why is there a blackout? "
"Li Qin!" The woman shouted at him. "The boat is stranded! How much did you guys drink last night? "
"How … How could this be?" Guan Xiujie, who had just gone to the cockpit to check, ran back and said in horror, "Someone pulled the anchor. We've been drifting on the sea for the whole night!"
"Ah?" The woman and Li Qin were shocked and asked, "Where are we now?"
"I don't know, I don't know! It's all a mess … "Guan Xiujie picked up the satellite phone." I'm going to ask for help now! "
"What the hell is going on?" Li Qin had already seen Lei Dasheng, who was still unconscious. He thought of something and said hurriedly, "Could we have been drugged?"
"Drugged?" The woman said. "Then … Why am I fine?"
"You didn't drink last night …" Li Qin said. "It seems that the problem is with the wine. We'd better hurry and see how the others are doing …"
…
Time returned to the present. Under the radiance of the morning sun, everything on the gigantic Uranus cruise ship was as usual.
However, the VIP area of the cruise ship was tense.
"This is Ms. Zhu Yundi's room," General Manager Qi Jianhua said to Zhao Yu and Miao Ying. "Ever since the secretary found out, we immediately cordoned off the scene."
As the cruise ship's owner, Zhu Yundi's room was naturally the most luxurious on the cruise ship, comparable to a presidential suite.
After entering the room, they saw that it was a mess. The tables and cabinets were open, and various items were scattered all over the floor. There were broken glasses in the dining room, and the heavy dining table had been moved. The chairs were all over the place.
"This scene …" Miao Ying looked at the scene in front of her and said, "The murderer must be looking for something."
Hearing Miao Ying's words, Zhao Yu tugged at her gently. He meant that there were many people here, and these people were not his colleagues, so it was better to look and talk less.
Miao Ying understood what Zhao Yu meant and immediately shut her mouth.
Then, Zhao Yu stopped the others outside the door, while he and Miao Ying put on shoe covers and gloves. Then, they entered the room to investigate carefully.
Unlike previous cases, there were only the two of them this time. So, Miao Ying could only take on the role of a collector. She took out her phone and began to take pictures of all the important parts, looking for and collecting suspicious evidence.
"Mr. Zhao," Bi Guosheng, who was standing at the door, said to Zhao Yu, "Ms. Zhu Yundi must have been pushed off the balcony outside!
"Down there, facing the camera that you saw earlier. Unfortunately, in order to protect privacy, our cameras avoided the balcony, so we couldn't get an image of her being pushed down."
"Mm …" Zhao Yu walked around Zhu Yundi's room. After Miao Ying had taken pictures of everything, Zhao Yu returned to the door of the room and said to Qi Jianhua and the others, "Okay, the scene has been investigated. Next, you have to send people to guard the door 24 hours a day. Don't allow anyone to enter the scene."
"Understood!" Qi Jianhua nodded quickly. "Don't worry about that. Then … What should we do next?"
"First, collect all the relevant surveillance videos," Zhao Yu said methodically. "Second, find someone to ask the staff in the cruise ship's VIP area one by one, and ask them if they found anything unusual last night.
"Third, call all the guests in the VIP area together. I want to give them a short meeting and explain the situation to them clearly!
Fourth, these people are now suspects, so I suggest that we temporarily block the VIP area and restrict their access … "
"Oh, okay, okay …" Qi Jianhua was a little embarrassed, but after exchanging glances with Bi Guosheng, he agreed to Zhao Yu's request.
"Also …" Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Give me two of your best steaks. I haven't eaten enough this morning …"
