After Tong Nuanwan fell asleep, Li Anhe put her on the bed, then opened the door and arranged for Ying Zong to do a good job of security. Maybe it was because Tong Nuanwan was around, and he felt more worried and always felt uneasy.

At this time, Lei Te came over. Li Anhe took a look at the door of the room and felt that there was no problem, so he did not wake up Tong Nuanwan and went to the monitoring room with Lei Te.

"Have you found the murderer?"

"I don't know if it counts, just take a look."

Lei Te gave the video to Li Anhe.

"We only installed a few surveillance cameras on the deck, so we couldn't achieve perfect blind spots. But we found a few people. We can't be sure if they are the murderers, but we just think their behavior is a bit strange."

Li Anhe clicked on the video. At that time, he and Tong Nuanwan had just walked onto the deck. There were a few children not far away, looking at them with teasing eyes.

Then they left, and the children turned their gazes back, with the same expressions on their faces as everyone else.

"You doubt them?"

"It's mainly because their behavior is so strange. They never take their eyes off you."

"But they are all children, maybe they are just curious about us."

Just as Rhett was about to say something, a policeman ran over with a video.

The video shows five children who look like junior high school students, queuing up for security check, each of them carrying two or three suitcases.

"Is there anything else?"

"No, other guests usually only have one suitcase, or no suitcase at all, but they brought a lot of suitcases."

"Looking for those kids, which room are they in now?"

The surveillance cameras on the ship are basically just for show, and only a few surveillance cameras on the main roads can be seen.

Another policeman brought a computer with a few surveillance images on it.

"Found one, now hanging out on the boat."

The child was no different from an ordinary person and could not be associated with the suspect at all.

"That direction..." The child smiled at the camera, then walked into the corridor and could not be found, "That's our room."

Combined with what he saw on the surveillance camera before, Li Anhe raised his legs and ran towards his room.

I hope I am overthinking it.

The hairs on his back stood up and Li Anhe wished he could grow two more legs.

In just a few minutes, Tong Nuanwan was in danger without knowing it.

Tong Nuanwan patted his chest and felt a chill running straight to the top of his head just thinking about it.

"Paul is the murderer? Is this a mistake?" Tong Nuanwan found it difficult to connect the suspect with Paul.

"Rhett is interrogating him, but it's almost certain. Judging from the kid's performance just now, it should be him."

"But he is a child..." Tong Nuanwan stopped talking and recalled the case that Gu Junsi had taken over before. It was committed by a minor. Today's children should not be judged by their standards.

"Rhett is done with the interrogation and will call us over. After all, their target just now was you."

The next morning, Leiter asked them to go to the conference room.

"Rhett, what's the matter? Was it a misunderstanding?" Tong Nuanwan's eyes revealed expectation. She really hoped that Rhett would say that it was a misunderstanding.

As Lei Te opened his mouth several times but no sound came out, Tong Nuanwan closed his eyes and sat dejectedly on the chair.

Rhett cleared his throat and told them the results of yesterday's interrogation.

The five young men were classmates, and their families’ wealth and status accounted for a considerable proportion abroad.

They are about to enter high school this fall and want to take a thrilling trip before they officially become adults.

The kids went to a bookstore and randomly picked up five suspense and mystery novels, planning to play a thrilling game according to the steps in the novels. If anyone was caught by the police, it would mean that the game failed and they had to share their first girlfriend since entering high school.

They chose a cruise ship as the location for the game so that they couldn't escape and the police wouldn't be able to find reinforcements for a while, which added excitement to the game.

The first person was the female victim. They implemented the plan according to the description in the novel, and they succeeded.

The second person to come on stage was the boy that Tong Nuanwan met.

When they arrived at the deck, they saw Tong Nuanwan, who had an oriental face, at first glance, so they set their target on Tong Nuanwan.

If the captain had not been determined to investigate the case, Tong Nuanwan would probably have become a victim in this game.

After hearing the case, Tong Nuanwan leaned weakly on Li Anhe.

"They are all children, how could they have such vicious thoughts? They actually treat human lives as a game for fun. Rhett, what are you going to do with those children?"

"Of course, we should keep him under guard first, and then...after we go back, we should..." Rhett glanced at Tong Nuanwan and lowered his head silently.

"Will you release him after you return?"

Rhett hesitated for a moment, then nodded as if he had made a great decision.

"Why release them? They are prisoners."

"They are all underage and not criminally responsible at all."

"But they killed a person."

Rhett wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

Tong Nuanwan also understood this, so he sighed and accepted it helplessly.

"Rhett, can I meet those kids?"

"Yes, I have locked them in a specific room."

Leiter took them to the room where the teenager was held.

As Tong Nuanwan walked to the door, she heard laughter coming from the room.

The boy's fluent foreign language seemed to be poisoned, mocking the victim's appearance before his death.

Tong Nuanwan pushed the door open suddenly, and the boy's laughter stopped abruptly.

"Sister, it's you." Paul stood in front of Tong Nuanwan with a provocative look in his eyes, "You are the enemy of my first girlfriend after I entered high school. Because of you, she will be shared..."

With a snap, Paul's face tilted to one side.

Paul didn't seem to expect Tong Nuanwan to hit him. There was disbelief in his eyes, and then his eyes became vicious.

"You, an oriental woman, dare to hit me. I will make you regret it."

"Regret? You've harmed a living person, don't you feel any regret?"

Paul sneered.

"If he wasn't attracted by my beauty, would he have opened the door for me? If he didn't open the door for me, would he have given me a chance? Sister, didn't you invite me in because you liked my angelic face?"

The other four boys exclaimed in excitement.

With a snap, Paul's face tilted to the side again.

This time Paul was particularly irritated.

"It's not too late for you to die now."

After Paul finished speaking, he stretched out his hands towards Tong Nuanwan's neck. Fortunately, Li Anhe was not far away and pulled Tong Nuanwan over.

Seeing this, Rhett pulled out his baton and scared Paul away.

Tong Nuanwan glanced at Paul, shook her head, and left the meeting room.

"Wanwan, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I just didn't expect that a boy with such a good-looking face would be a murderous demon."

Tong Nuanwan looked at Lei Te.

"Is there really no way to sanction them?"

“Unless the country changes the law, they will be released when they return.”

Tong Nuanwan and Li Anhe said goodbye to Lei Te and returned to their rooms.

"This trip revolves around the haze, but it's a child's game."

Li Anhe put his arm around Tong Nuanwan’s shoulders.

“A thousand people have a thousand kinds of lives. These thousand kinds of lives can create different angels and different demons. It is impossible for us to master all human nature.”

Tong Nuanwan didn't say anything. Thinking about her own children, who would also grow up to be as old as these teenagers, she felt a chill down her spine.

Until the end of the trip, Tong Nuanwan didn't say much, her eyes staring blankly at the sea. This was not the result she wanted to see.
