“Ah Chen said the same thing. He asked me to come find you and see if it would be convenient for us to look for it together.”
Lin Yixiang said.
A watch stained with human blood, plus a missing person...
All these factors combined seem to point to only one answer!
A murder has occurred on the cruise ship!
Today is Lin Yixiang's wedding day, which should be the happiest time for him.
But this is exactly what happened.
In an instant, his good mood vanished completely!
All he wants to do now is confirm whether the missing person is still alive.
Or... has he really been murdered?
"Come on, take me to the place where this watch was found."
Ye Tianming said to Lin Yixiang.
"I'm coming too!"
Cindy, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up.
Ye Tianming glanced at her. There might be a murderer on board right now, and he was indeed worried about leaving Cindy alone.
"Okay, you can come along too."
Ye Tianming nodded and said.
The three then headed towards the scene of the incident.
A few minutes later;
The three arrived at their destination.
Lin Yixiang had instructed the crew on the ship to separate this area, so at this moment only Gu Zechen, Gao Yanbo, and a few other people from the police system were present.
"Amin, you've come at the right time! Take a look at this!"
When Gu Zechen saw Ye Tianming arrive, he quickly beckoned him over and pointed to a room with an open door nearby.
Ye Tianming walked over and, following the direction Gu Zechen pointed, saw an open ventilation duct in the room.
The grille has been removed.
Then Ye Tianming saw drops of a nearly translucent, viscous liquid dripping from the pipe, looking like a large pile of snot.
It also emitted a faint stench, which was quite disgusting!
"This is... a bodily fluid secreted by some kind of organism?"
Ye Tianming leaned closer, first looked at it, then smelled it, and then gave his judgment.
"There is a very high probability that so."
Gu Zechen and the others also looked on in agreement.
The answer they just analyzed is roughly the same.
Chapter 529: The Source of the Slime! A Sea Monster?
"Are many people aware of this?"
Ye Tianming turned to ask Lin Yixiang.
"Not many, just the people here, and the missing man's wife also know."
Lin Yixiang said.
"Do not notify others for now to avoid causing unnecessary panic."
Ye Tianming asked, "How big is this ventilation duct? Can a person climb inside?"
Faced with this problem, Lin Yixiang didn't know either, so he could only ask the captain next to him for help.
"People can go in."
The blond, blue-eyed foreign captain nodded in reply.
"Alright, let's send someone in to take a look. Maybe we can find the source by following this trail."
Ye Tianming said.
The next question is who to send in.
After discussing it, the group decided to send in a crew member familiar with the cruise ship's structure with a walkie-talkie, while the rest of them waited for news.
Just right;
When the situation was discovered, there were two crew members on site. One of them was quite thin, which was perfect for the job.
of course!
No one forces a crew member to go in if they don't want to.
"Which of you two is willing to go? The one who goes will receive a month's salary as a bonus!"
The captain looked at the two crew members and asked.
Upon hearing about the reward, which was equivalent to a month's salary, the two crew members didn't even need to hesitate.
Everyone was eager to take on the task.
Ultimately, the captain chose the smaller crew member. After all, although the ventilation duct could accommodate an adult, a smaller crew member would have more freedom of movement.
To put it bluntly, even if we encounter danger, we can run faster!
"Remember to report the situation to your superiors regularly."
"Don't act on your own when you encounter any problems."
Ye Tianming handed a walkie-talkie to the other party and gave them instructions.
The crew member nodded, then stepped onto the platform below, grabbed the entrance to the ventilation duct above with both hands, and climbed up.
"This place is disgusting, there's so much slime."
The crew member who got on board said with a nauseous expression.
"Follow the slime and see where it comes from."
Ye Tianming said.
The crew member above responded with "A lot," and then slowly began to crawl forward, following the trail of slime in the ventilation duct.
A few minutes later;
He encountered his first fork in the road.
"The slime here is heading towards the ventilation duct on the left."
The crew communicated with people outside via walkie-talkie.
"Keep following them."
A response came quickly from the walkie-talkie.
So he continued climbing towards the ventilation duct on the left.
Earning this month's salary is really tough, mainly because this slime is disgusting and has a strange, foul smell that makes you want to vomit.
The crew member also forced himself to crawl forward despite feeling nauseous, muttering complaints as he went.
Another ten minutes passed.
The crew members themselves weren't even sure where they had climbed to.
But when we got to this point, the slime suddenly disappeared!
"The slime has disappeared!"
"Did you hear that? The slime disappears over here."
The crew members immediately took out walkie-talkies to contact the people outside.
At that moment, static came through the walkie-talkie, followed by intermittent voices.
The crew members could barely make out what the other side was saying.
"There's a pipe outlet ahead of me; the slime disappears there."
He picked up the walkie-talkie and replied.
After a while, static came through the walkie-talkie again.
"Where...are you...where...are you?"
Is this asking where I am now?
The crew looked down through the ventilation duct outlet and realized they had reached the engine room in the lower deck.
"I'm in the server room here. I can see a lot of the same slime in the server room below. Should I go down and take a look?"
The crew member quickly picked up the walkie-talkie to respond.
"No...no need...no need to go down...just...come...back!"
Should I just go back?
Upon hearing this, the crew member glanced down at the engine room again, then slowly began to move backward.
When he reached the next fork in the road, he finally had time to turn around and start heading back the way he came.
the other side;
Ye Tianming and the others in the room were also waiting for the crew member to return.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, we finally heard the sound of someone crawling in the ventilation duct above.
"coming!"
Gu Zechen and the others quickly looked up.
Soon, the crew member appeared at the exit of the ventilation duct, and several people quickly went up to help him get down.
