"Mysterious ship? The sea, no wonder there's no clue of the missing person after so long. It's easier said than done to find someone in this vast sea. "
Kaede Sato heard the old fisherman's unintentional words and narrowed his eyes. Then, he shifted his gaze to the vast sea and thought to himself.
He now somewhat understood why the Kaina City police couldn't find anyone even after mobilizing so many people. It was obvious that the people from the oceanography research institute were all kidnapped and taken to the sea.
Even the best police dog couldn't do anything when they were at sea. The sea had already covered up the smell.
Moreover, the kidnappers were skilled and didn't leave any clues. It would be strange if the police could find someone like this.
"Thank you for your explanation, sir. I still have things to do, so I won't disturb you any longer."
After Kaede Sato got the information he wanted, he stood up and cupped his hands to the old fisherman. Then, he turned around and left the small fishing village. Immediately after, he spent some money to hitch a ride to the city.
On the way, he also used the communicator in his hand to call Captain Lei Gu and told him about Dr. Hyde's disappearance in detail.
Captain Leygu and Doctor Hyde were obviously very close friends. As soon as Doctor Hyde heard that his old friend had gone missing, he couldn't sit still. He hurriedly rushed to the Little Elf Center in the center of Kaina City and met up with Kaede Sato.
When Kaede Sato took a taxi to the Little Fairy Center in the center of Kaina City, Lei Gu had already arrived. He also brought two capable sailors with him. Right now, he was talking to a smiling Miss Jun Sha in a room in the Little Fairy Center.
"Zheping, you're here. The captain is still angry. Come and put out the fire for him."
In front of the Little Fairy Center's entrance, a fat man saw Kaede Sato and quickly greeted him with a smile. Then, he whispered into Kaede Sato's ear.
This fat man was called Leiba. He was the ship's first mate and also an orphan that Lei Gu had brought up. It was said that he was the son of Lei Gu's fallen comrade. Thus, he was loyal and devoted to Lei Gu, treating Lei Gu as his father. He had been by Lei Gu's side for several decades.
Kaede Sato fought valiantly during the ghost ship incident and even saved Regu's most beloved cruise ship. Naturally, the ship's first mate was very fond of Kaede Sato. In the two days after the incident, the first mate came over to invite Kaede Sato to drink and eat.
"Brother Ba, look at what you're saying. If Mr. Captain is angry, I have to step aside. How would I dare to cross the line?"
When Kaede Sato heard Reba's words, he couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile on his face and then joked.
"Well, Mr. Todd's whereabouts are unknown. The captain is worried sick. Mr. Todd is one of the captain's few old friends."
"When the captain asks you something later, you must avoid the important and dwell on the trivial. The captain is old and his body isn't very good right now. He was injured a few days ago. I'm afraid he'll get angry."
When Reba heard this, his smile immediately disappeared. Then, he brought Kaede Sato to the room where Lei Gu and the others were, while whispering to Kaede Sato.
Kaede Sato naturally didn't have any objections. His expression also immediately became serious. Then, he nodded to Reba to indicate that he knew what to do.
Regu naturally noticed Kaede Sato's arrival. When Kaede Sato was led to his side by Reba, he let go of the sweaty Miss Jun Sha in front of him and turned to ask Kaede Sato about the oceanography research institute.
Kaede Sato didn't know much, and he already talked about the oceanography research institute in detail on the phone. Now, he had to talk about some details that he didn't explain in detail.
At the same time, he also spoke about some of his speculations. He said that the kidnappers should want to get something very important from Dr. Todd and the others. Dr. Todd and the others shouldn't be in any danger right now.
"I didn't know that you're a deduction master, Zheping. Your speculations are similar to the speculations of those useless guys in the police station here. Todd and the others must have been kidnapped and taken to the sea. Damn, this is really worrying. Where are we going to find them in this vast sea?"
When Lei Gu heard Kaede Sato's words, his old-fashioned face suddenly relaxed slightly. Then, in front of Miss Jun Sha, he said rudely.
Miss Jun Sha was also a smart person. She knew that Lei Gu's position in the alliance was much higher than hers. Plus, she and the others haven't made any breakthroughs in close combat yet. Even if she was ridiculed, she could only endure it.
Therefore, her expression didn't change at this time, as if she didn't hear Lei Gu's ridicule just now.
Then, Jun Shahong's gaze shifted to Kaede Sato. She also heard about the cruise ship's encounter with the ghost ship two days ago. The name Zheping naturally came to her ears.
Before she received the order from above to report the situation of the oceanography research institute to Lei Gu, she conducted a detailed investigation of Zheping through the alliance's internal resources.
Therefore, she knew that "Zheping" was originally a top student of the Manjin College in the capital, his recent unfortunate encounter, and his recent miraculous recovery from the hospital bed.
Now, from Kaede Sato's brilliant deduction, she knew that the young man in front of her, who may have already met the Grim Reaper, was not simple. The other party was a top student of the Manjin College, this was without a doubt.
"Hello, Mr. Zheping. Thank you for your heroic performance the day before yesterday. My name is Jun Shahong. I'm now a police detective of the Kaina City Alliance Police Department.
Nice to meet you, "Jun Shahong said to Kaede Sato in a pleasant manner after recalling Zheping's information. She also extended a hand to Kaede Sato to show her friendliness.
"Hello, I'm Zheping."
Kaede Sato was currently playing the role of Zheping, who was currently a bit of a loner. Naturally, he wouldn't give Jun Shahong any face since it was the first time he met her. He just shook hands with her with a calm expression and then briefly introduced himself.
Jun Shahong knew about Zheping's situation. She knew that it was normal for a person who had experienced a major setback in life and the great terror of life and death to have a change in personality. Therefore, she didn't mind Kaede Sato's cold attitude. She nodded at Kaede Sato and continued to smile in return.
Soon, Jun Shahong finished reporting the situation of the oceanography institute to Lei Gu. She saluted Lei Gu and quickly left the room.
Because Jun Shahong had come halfway, Kaz Sato didn't hear all of Jun Shahong's report to Lei Gu about the oceanography research facility. However, when he heard the words "oceanography team," he knew how serious this kidnapping was.
Although Jun Shahong didn't explain in detail why the Marine Team kidnapped the people of the oceanography institute, Kaede Sato could tell from Jun Shahong's words that the oceanography institute not only lost people, but also a very valuable item.
And this valuable item was very dangerous. Once it fell into the hands of criminals, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Obviously, the original purpose of the Marine Team was to snatch this very valuable item from the oceanography institute. However, the Marine Team discovered that they didn't have the ability to use this valuable item midway, so they kidnapped the people of the oceanography institute.
"Old mister, what are you going to do? I'm afraid this matter isn't something we can interfere with. Don't be impulsive."
After Kaede Sato fumed to death, he looked at Lei Gu who had an extremely ugly expression and advised him.
