Chapter 79

For the marshals of the "Haneda", today is their bad luck day.

[Haneda Yuki's lucky check is 76/90 successful]

As Uesugi Kenhito's only deputy, the mediocre policeman Takeda Masayoshi almost fell into despair.

[Haneda Yuki charm check 18/52 success]

Now that Sergeant Uesugi can't be contacted at all, the two high school-aged girls who went to the United States to participate in training have become Takeda Masayoshi's last consolation.

Even if it sailed to the nearest suitable port at the highest speed, the "Haneda" would not be able to dock until Christmas morning.Before that, the "Haneda" and its 36 passengers had to spend at least [-] hours with that...or those potential murderers.

A fat man with a hat and a scar on his face was yelling something not far away. Two burly sailors tried their best to stop him.

In the corridor at the door of the murder scene, everyone was discussing in low voices.

"Captain Quilinus asked us to block the news," Masayoshi Takeda put down the communicator, his face pale, "maintain the scene until the ship docks. We must not cause panic among the passengers."

Most of the crew on this ship are Japanese, but the captain is an American.

"Mr. Takeda, we should let the passengers stay in the cabin," said Sayoko. "It's safer that way."

[Sayako Haneda failed the persuasion check 97/10]

"No," Takeda Masayoshi resolutely refused. Although JK is very cute, the captain's anger is even more terrifying to him. "The captain said that he will bear all the responsibilities. We must carry out his orders."

"You..." Xiao Yezi was helpless.Several injured areas on her body, including her abdomen and calves, were in burning pain at the moment.

Before the mod started, what was "Sayako Haneda" doing?
Except for Masayoshi Takeda, the few policemen on board were afraid of the hideous corpse and dared not approach it.The two doctors on board also fled far away, but a middle-aged female forensic doctor among the passengers was helping with the autopsy.Takeda Masayoshi says she is the captain's friend and totally trustworthy.

"The time of death...was about seven o'clock in the evening," the female forensic doctor with brown curly hair squatted next to the corpse, obviously shocked by the horrible sight, "God, if I wasn't in the room, I would feel It was bitten by a crocodile or a great white shark..."

"What about the 'theft suspect'?" Chen Qiang asked.

According to Takeda Masayoshi, Sheriff Uesugi Kenhito has disappeared.

In other words, if a group of people didn't come to Imai's room in advance, but waited until the agreed time to meet Uesugi Kenhito, they would get nothing.

"That Chinese sailor surnamed Xu..." Takeda Masayoshi said with a livid face, "He is missing."

"Missing too?"

"We sent someone to be locked up with him. When we got there," Takeda Masayoshi said bitterly, "our people were already knocked unconscious. The door was open, and the person named Xu... the person named Xu disappeared .”

Chen Qiang narrowed his eyes.

Prison escape is not like Uncle Xu's style.Based on Chen Qiang's understanding of Uncle Xu, he should not act without authorization...

"So you can rest assured of the safety of all passengers?" Xiaoxue said angrily, "Did you tell the captain about the escape?"

"No..." Takeda Masayoshi said timidly.

"Then go now!"

I have to say that Xiaoxue's angry appearance is really scary.

[Haneda Yuki intimidation check 7/15 success]

"Yes yes yes..." Takeda Masayoshi ran away.

"Don't run away!" Xiaoxue said angrily, "Use the walkie-talkie first, and contact whoever you can! If he still doesn't listen, I'll go there myself!"

"Okay..." Masayoshi Takeda nodded his head, and consciously rolled aside to make a phone call.

"That person is..." Xiao Yezi stopped another policeman and asked in a low voice.

From the very beginning, the gentleman in the hat at the end of the corridor was yelling something in Japanese with a heavy dialect, and the only sentence Chen Qiang could understand was "you bastards".

"He is Mr. Hiroyuki Imai."

"What?" Chen Qiang, who was closing his eyes and thinking deeply, suddenly opened them.

"He is Mr. Hiroyuki Imai, the collector, the owner of this room."

"Imai... Hiroyuki?"

Chen Qiang, Qin Lingxue, Xiao Yezi and Gu Shiyin turned their heads together and looked at the loud fat man.His face, which was already ugly due to scars, was even more distorted due to anger.

Even after Masayoshi Takeda and others arrived, they clearly said, "We just met Mr. Hiroyuki Imai, so the person who died in his room must not be Hiroyuki Imai", everyone still failed to understand the noisy scar who was at most 30 years old. Male and Imai Hiroyuki linked together.

"Ah...negligence."

Qin Lingxue tapped her head with her knuckles. Her identity as a collector gave her a wrong impression of the name Hiroyuki Imai. She had a preconceived idea that he would be a greasy middle-aged man, and the deceased must be Hiroyuki Imai.

"He...seems to be asking to check out—no, it's a room upgrade?" Sayoko struggled to recognize Hiroyuki Imai's strange Japanese.

"He wants to change to the most exclusive 'Carnival Suite' on the ship," said the policeman. "You know, that room is vacant."

"The results of it?"

"He can go to an empty room that is on the same level as his original suite, but if he goes to the 'Carnival Suite', he must make up for the insufficient cost."

Chen Qiang walked over to Hiroyuki Imai.As if he had noticed Chen Qiang's existence, Imai Hiroyuki gave up struggling.

Behind the obstruction of two sailors, Hiroyuki Imai looked at Chen Qiang with a gloomy expression.

Chen Qiang stared into his black hole-like eyes.

"Cheers," he said in his odd, off-pitched English, "Jon. The carnival you've longed for is about to come true."

Then he turned and left without saying a word.Masayoshi Takeda, who hung up the walkie-talkie, motioned for the two sailors to follow quickly.

"Sorry, Mr. Chen," he said, "Mr. Imai is such a queer person."

Masayoshi Takeda turned to Xiaoxue again: "The captain has changed his mind. He will not announce that there is a murder, but he will use the name of missing tourists to ask everyone not to leave the cabin as much as possible, or to act together."

"Is that so..." Chen Qiang said leisurely.

He winked at Sayoko, and then made a "take something out of his pocket" gesture.

Sayoko understands.

"Officer Takeda," she said softly, "when Mr. Imai calms down, we should ask him why he left the room instead of going to the show, and what he was doing during this time."

Masayoshi Takeda nodded.

Xiao Yezi took out the ring that Chen Qiang had found before: "This is something I found at the scene before, and it may help us confirm the identity of the deceased."

"I think I've seen this before." Takeda was clearly troubled by his memory.

"There is a sentence 'dedicated to my favorite Yingzi' engraved on it."

Takeda Masayoshi's eyes widened.

"Oh my God," he said, "I remember. Eiko, that's the name of Officer Uesugi Kenhito's wife."

All eyes turned to the headless corpse.

"This is indeed the ring of Police Officer Uesugi Kenhito," Takeda Masayoshi staggered and almost fell to the ground, "then, he is indeed..."
