The domineering president goes on a blind date

"What did you say?"

The foreign policeman was wearing a police uniform, with one hand on the gun at his waist, and looked excited, as if he had seen a savior.

Tong Nuanwan's mouth twitched, and Li Anhe also walked out of the room when he heard the sound.

“Can you understand Chinese?”

"Of course I can, what did you say?"

They were just new police officers this year, ordered to protect the cruise ship. They thought it was an easy job, but they encountered a murder case not long after they started sailing.

When they reported the incident to the headquarters, they were immediately scolded. Now the cruise ship is at sea, they can only move forward according to the original route, and when they reach the next stop, there will be police to pick them up. What they can do now is to control the situation. If there is unrest, their careers will be over.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Rhett. Do you know anything about this case? Are you a police officer or a detective?"

"Neither. She's just a novelist."

When Li Anhe said this, Lei Te's face fell. He thought he had met the Chinese police and helped them solve the case, but now they can only rely on themselves.

"Then why do you say this case is familiar?"

"I'm sorry, I can't remember. I just feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before." Tong Nuanwan handed the photo to Rhett.

Rhett took one look and frowned.

"It's a murder scene, it's impossible for it to be the same. Maybe it's just a setup..." Rhett suddenly stopped talking.

Layout? Yes, it was a layout. When he entered the scene, he felt something was odd, but he couldn't remember what it was. After this reminder, he finally figured it out.

The layout of the rooms is the same, but this room seems different from the others.

Could it be that someone arranged it specially?

"Thank you. I'll go check it out now. Can you come with me?"

Tong Nuanwan hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Anhe beside her.

Rhett understood.

"Your husband and they can go together."

"Okay," Li Anhe looked at Tong Nuanwan, "There are still a few hours left, so let's just go around and walk around."

They went to the monitoring room with Lei Te.

The policeman sitting inside looked at Rhett in confusion.

"They gave me new ideas, and I asked them to help us solve the case."

The policeman understood and ordered his men to bring them stools.

Rhett was fiddling with something in front of the computer, and the policeman next to him frowned and shook his head.

He mumbled something and Rhett slapped his forehead.

Li Anhe's face darkened.

"What did they say?"

"Leite was checking the luggage of the guests. The person next to him said that the luggage check was just a formality and there was no in-depth inspection at all. They didn't know what luggage each person brought."

"Yes, the layout of that room is different from the other rooms. There is only one possibility, that is, the things in the room were brought by the murderer himself. But they didn't do a security check, how could they know this? Hey, why didn't they do a security check? Aren't they afraid that someone would bring dangerous items up here?"

Once, Tong Nuanwan was riding on a high-speed train and forgot to take out the scissors in her bag. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the staff at the high-speed train station, who clearly told her that there were scissors in her bag and also told her the specific location.

Tong Nuanwan marveled at the country's security system and admired the strength of the motherland.

Why are there no security checks abroad? If there were, we would know what luggage each person brought, and then compare it with the layout of the room, the murderer would be obvious at a glance.

"It's not like in China. People in foreign countries value their privacy, especially the rich and powerful. They don't want others to see what they bring with them."

"Wouldn't anyone bring something like that?"

When Tong Nuanwan and Gu Shuyan were strolling on the street, a foreign student told a landlord that they would have a party in the evening and it would be very noisy, so he asked the landlord to forgive them.

The landlord smiled and agreed. But when they walked up to him, he said, "Just have it. You can also call it a party."

At that time, Tong Nuanwan thought that foreigners looked down on us.

After Gu Shuyan's explanation, Tong Nuanwan didn't know what country she had entered.

We international students had a party, ate hotpot and made dumplings.

Students abroad held parties with guns and marijuana.

So in their view, our international students are all good students who abide by the law, so they don’t think that our behavior of taking the initiative to inform them is a party.

"Of course."

Tong Nuanwan rubbed her arms and didn't want to go abroad anymore.

Rhett sat down next to them, looking worried.

"If it were in your country, the case would have been solved."

"There will be no cases in our country. No one dares to commit crimes under the noses of the police."

Rhett slumped on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, then sat up straight and looked at Tong Nuanwan with a pleading look.

"Can you please think about this case again? I just graduated from college this year and I finally found a job. I don't want to lose it."

Tong Nuanwan sighed. No matter where you are, it is difficult to find a job.

She picked up the photo and still felt a sense of familiarity.

"What we can be sure of now is that the criminal is on the ship. The layout of the room is different from the other rooms. The bed sheets, paintings, and even cups and vases inside should have been brought in from outside. So this person should be carrying a large suitcase, or two suitcases."

"Are you sure?"

"No, I guessed."

"That won't work. If we go to check someone else's luggage and find the murderer, that's fine. But if we don't, they'll sue us for violating privacy and we'll lose our jobs anyway."

"I think they seem to be very afraid of you."

"They are afraid, but only now. Once the cruise ship docks and their bodyguards and families arrive, we will be afraid. These people control the country's economic lifeline, and the government should also give them some face."

"First, there is no security check, and second, there can be no search. Now we can only rely on photos."

Tong Nuanwan looked at the photo in her hand, hoping to remember it quickly. After all, being in the same space with a murderer made her spine chill just thinking about it.

"Nuan Wan, aren't you a novelist? You must have read a lot of books. Did you see this layout from a book?"

"Books are all text, rarely with pictures. That should be the layout I imagined. Where did you see it?"

Rhett looked at the photo, both close and far away, and couldn't make out anything.

"What kind of place would put a chair in the middle of a room? That's weird."

"Chair?"

Something in Tong Nuanwan's mind gradually became clear, but she just couldn't catch it.

She picked up the photo and looked at it, and the fog in her mind dissipated.

"Do I know what this is?"
