In the evening, as the steam whistle sounded, the Uranus cruise ship slowly left Nagasaki and headed for its next stop.
Just as the cruise ship was about to depart, the voice of a senior staff member could be heard from the VIP area on the top floor of the cruise ship.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible …" he said to Zhao Yu, who was full of hope. "You must have seen the structural drawings, right? Light steel is still steel!
"The Uranus uses polymerized light steel plates. If this kind of steel plate were to be cut, it would take a lot of work!" The staff member pointed to the floor under his feet and explained, "If someone really cut the steel plate, someone would definitely find out!"
"It doesn't have to be the floor, ceiling, or wall!" Zhao Yu said. "Think about it carefully. Which part of the VIP area is the thinnest?"
"It's the same. Whether it's the ceiling, the floor, or the walls, in order to deal with the wind and waves on the sea, the hull is a complete structure. It's very strong!" the staff member said. "So, what you said is impossible!"
"What if it wasn't a laser cutter?" Zhao Yu asked. "Don't they have lasers in movies? Can lasers cut thick steel plates? "
"You …" The staff member was speechless for a few seconds, then explained, "Even if there was a laser cutter, it couldn't be the size of a watch!
"To cut such a thick steel plate, he would have to bring a large instrument on board. How could he possibly have gotten on board?"
"Humph! Aren't your words a little too absolute? " Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the staff member. "Don't you think there's no need to bring an instrument that can cut steel plates on board at all?"
"You … What do you mean?" The staff member was sweating profusely.
"What do I mean?" Zhao Yu asked. "A cruise ship is also a ship. All ships have their own tools, right? Do you really think I'm illiterate? "
"You … You … Oh …" The staff member pondered for a few seconds, then caught up with Zhao Yu. "You mean, someone used our cruise ship's tools?"
"Of course!" Zhao Yu said. "Can't you see? The murderer must know your cruise ship very well, so it's obviously your insider who did it!
"You must have brought a lot of tools for maintenance or to prevent leaks, right?" Zhao Yu said. "I suspect that the murderer used the identity of a crew member as a cover, then used the tools of the cruise ship to make a small hole somewhere in the VIP area. That's how he got into the VIP area!
"That's the only way to explain why the murderer didn't leave any images at the entrance!"
"This … it can't be, right?" The staff was obviously not confident and quickly said, "You mean, do you really want to check every steel plate in the VIP area?
"Then … If that's the case, I'll have to report to the captain!"
"Are you stupid?" Zhao Yu shouted. "Do you need to check every steel plate? You only need to check the places that are close to the outside?
"The ceiling can be seen with a single glance, so we should carefully look for the floor and the places that are connected to other areas!
"If the murderer really used cutting techniques, then it would be impossible for him to weld the steel plates together. There would definitely be welding marks!"
"The next floor in the VIP area is business class, and the left and right sides are outside. There are no other areas at the back, but there is an observation room in the front …" The staff member's eyes lit up. "That observation room hasn't been used for a long time. Could it be …"
"Look, look!" Zhao Yu rubbed his palms and urged, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take me to see it! "
"Zhao Yu, what's wrong? What's wrong? "At this time, Miao Ying, who had just finished dealing with other matters, rushed to the scene. She didn't know what Zhao Yu was going to do.
"Don't ask," Zhao Yu said, gesturing. "Hurry up and come with me!"
"The observation room is next to Room 16 in the VIP area," the staff member said as he led Zhao Yu and Miao Ying to find the room. "Because Room 16 doesn't have a window, no one usually lives in that room. In the past, some workers used to live in that room!"
The VIP area wasn't big, so they quickly came to the door of Room 16.
However, as soon as they saw the room, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying suddenly showed a strange expression. This was because they had already searched the uninhabited room before and found nothing unusual.
The staff member had a spare key in his hand, so he immediately opened the door and turned on the lights.
Although the room didn't have a window, it had all the other facilities. The bedding was neat, and the room was clean and tidy.
"Here …" The staff member came to the head of the bed and pointed to the wall. "Behind this is the observation room I mentioned!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu didn't say anything, but rushed to the front and pushed the bed away. Then, ignoring the staff member's obstruction, he tore the soft package off the head of the bed.
Crack …
The wall was suddenly a mess, which scared the staff member.
Then, Zhao Yu squatted on the wall and looked carefully, trying to find traces of cutting.
"Mm … Mm …" Miao Ying smacked her lips and whispered, "Zhao Yu, are you confused? If you want to check this wall, why don't we go next door and have a look? "
"Mm … Cough …" Zhao Yu suddenly stopped, and his face turned red. He then covered his mouth and explained, "As a detective, I can't let go of any clues. I have to look at both sides clearly!"
Miao Ying was speechless. Considering that Zhao Yu was still suffering from a cold and fever, she didn't argue with him.
Ten minutes later, under the guidance of the staff member, they walked out of the VIP area and entered the observation room.
However, because no one had entered the observation room for a long time, the floor was covered with a layer of dust. It was almost obvious that no one had entered the room before.
After that, Zhao Yu carefully looked at the wall again, but he didn't find any suspicious traces.
However, Zhao Yu finally had an idea, so he immediately ordered the staff member to investigate all the steel plates in the entire VIP area.
The staff member didn't dare to refute, but immediately started the investigation and began to check the steel plates room by room.
…
Two hours later, the sky was dark, and the cruise ship sailed out to the vast sea.
"Sigh!" Zhao Yu sighed as he drank the root of isatis indigotica. "How could there be nothing? Could it be that I'm wrong again? "
"The crew member was right," Miao Ying said, exhausted. "The steel plate is definitely not something that can be cut by an ordinary cutting machine! The laser cutting machine is hot and noisy, and the water cutting machine is bulky. In my opinion, the possibility of it cutting through the ship to commit murder is very small! "
"Mm … Mm …" Zhao Yu drank the root of the isatis indigotica and wiped his nose with a tissue. He then lay down on the sofa, looking very tired.
"Zhao Yu," Miao Ying said, feeling distressed. "Let's call it a day! You have to have a good rest. There are more important tasks waiting for us tomorrow! "
"Mm …" Zhao Yu was indeed a little tired, so he immediately nodded.
Then, under Miao Ying's care, Zhao Yu took a hot shower, took a few pills, and went to bed.
Because of the cold and fever, he didn't sleep well at night. He always felt that something was flashing around him.
He was in a daze, and after a long time, he found that the light had stopped flashing in front of his face.
So, he slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was shocked and almost shouted, "Motherf * cker!"
He saw that Miao Ying was holding a mobile phone in her hand, looking at him with a strange expression. The light from the mobile phone shone on Miao Ying's face, revealing a strange color. Zhao Yu thought he had seen a ghost!
"What the …" Zhao Yu suddenly sat up and asked in fear, "What are you doing? Why are you doing this in the middle of the night? "
"Shh … Zhao Yu …" Miao Ying frowned and said, "I might have seen something …"
