"Go and watch the sunset with them, I'll just walk around..."

About to reach the stairway in front of the top deck, Ye Gengyi and Hui Yuanai separated, watched the girl gather with her friends of the same age, and then turned and walked towards the bow of the ship.

The so-called 'bow' actually refers to the front end of the cruise ship, which is mainly used for navigation and control of the hull. Usually, the wheelhouse and related equipment will be arranged in this area.

…

The sea breeze blows a faint mist.

The scenery that I am used to on weekdays lacks a bit of reality in the slanting reflection of the crimson sunset.

Listen to the occasional sound of sirens in all directions.

Ye Gengyi said silently in his heart:

"It's less than half an hour before the time for the dinner on the sign... The cruise ship will only set sail tomorrow morning, and this should be the time for the crew to replenish supplies and alert suspicious persons..."

The driver's cab was not far ahead, Ye Gengyi didn't get any closer, but just glanced over there quietly.

Sight through glass...

In front of the clean and elegant rudder system and the operating console, several middle-aged men in white sailor uniforms can be seen.

Due to the angle, Ye Geng could only see the face of one of them clearly.

The man had neatly combed short taupe hair, and because of the relatively high hairline, the lines that set off the cheeks were more obvious.

His eyes were not big, but his eyebrows were thick. His slightly sharp nose and sunken cheeks made his demeanor reveal an indescribable cunning.

Hmm... From the height of the console, I can see that he is about 1.75 meters tall, and his figure is quite strong, but he is not very tall.

Ye Geng thought for a while and made a judgment - even if that person is not the captain, his position is probably not very low.

... Xiaobai, is there a problem with the signal?

[Mr. has successfully detected the radio communication system and ship communication system. Emergency lights and sirens did not detect remote sensing signals, overall assessment: safe. 】

Um…

If the emergency lights and sirens have remote sensing signals, it means that someone can use the remote control to create panic quietly, which is very suitable for killing and destroying evidence.

Ye Genyi felt that if the murder was unavoidable, it would be better for him to simply assume the role of a 'murderer' and make a random murder plan.

Of course, judging from the current results.

It seems that I think too much.

As for not using the alarm to confuse the public, but taking the operation of shutting down the entire cruise ship, it is a bit difficult...

Before he figured out the wiring layout of the cruise ship, the simple and rude way Ye Gengyi could think of at the moment was to blow up the cruise ship's engine.

But... can't check it now.

First of all there is no fair reason.

Secondly, the engines of cruise ships are huge in size and weigh in tons, so they must usually be installed in the engine room or engine room in the lower part of the hull.

The main engine will be in several different areas. If you want to quickly detect it, you must figure out the power output connected to its axis in advance...such as the specific position and layout of the steering gear and propeller.

Including the need to avoid other tourists and the staff of the cruise ship, the half hour before eating is obviously not enough.

He turned around and stood in front of the guardrail, as if looking into the distance to see the scenery.

"Huh? Are you Expert Ye from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

At this time, an old man in a gray-black kimono who looked at least 65 years old came from the side of the stairs.

Because of old age, the other party's skin has already appeared some spots, but the thick back of the hair is not like the hair volume that this age group should have.

who is it?

Ye Gengyi didn't ask, because when he saw the other person's appearance clearly, his brain also gave the answer.

On the company website of the Yatsushiro Group, you can see a hand-painted portrait of this person—the chairman of the Yatsushiro Group, Yatsushiro Yantaro.

Seeing Ye Gengichi's emotionless expression, Yatsushiro Yantaro tapped the palm of his left hand with a fan in his right hand, and continued:

"It's our first meeting. I'm the president of the Yatsushiro Group, and I'm also a friend of that guy Asakura. I heard that you found out the murderer who tried to kill him and solved the crisis of the Kitanosawa Reservoir."

"That case is largely the work of Mr Maury."

Ye Gengyi said calmly.

After hearing the surname 'Asakura', he had already begun to speculate about the relationship between the two...friend?

Perhaps it should be said that it is an investor.

After all, when it comes to interests such as real estate and construction, which can be said to be profitable without losing money, any chaebol will probably want to get a piece of the pie.

But... this can only explain the relationship between the other party and Asakura Yuichiro, not the reason why he can recognize himself at a glance.

"Oh! You mean the famous detective Mori Kogoro? He is indeed very famous, but he is a detective after all..."

Yatsushiro Yantaro didn't finish this sentence, and people couldn't tell for a while whether he didn't like detectives, or whether he felt that detectives' curiosity would bring him trouble.

So, Ye Gengyi nodded slightly without any expression.

This is polite but without losing grace, completely unlike the reaction of ordinary young people rushing to chat when seeing him, it really exceeded Yatsushiro Yantaro's expectations.

He couldn't help but scrutinized Ye Gengyi carefully, trying to see even a trace of tension behind the disguise from his expression.

And yet... no.

Not only not, but calmly, exactly like those old monsters in the business world who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

Yatsushiro Entaro sighed, and changed the way of the conversation:

"Alas... Expert Ye, to tell you the truth, my son-in-law Yingren had a car accident some time ago and fell off a cliff and died."

There is really a routine~lightnovelpub.net~ I deliberately don’t finish the matter in one breath, use the method of leaving blank to lure myself to ask questions, and then let the situation of actively asking for help not become too passive...

Ye Gengyi didn't even yawn at this kind of trick, but routines and anti-routines are bipolar.

I am still thinking about the cruise ship. Now that the owner of the cruise ship has approached me, there is no reason to keep him out:

"Did he kill it?"

"No…"

Yatsushiro Yantaro shook his head: "The criminal police in that jurisdiction issued an on-site investigation report, saying that my son-in-law died of a heart attack, but... before Yingren left the villa, my daughter had a phone call with him, I reminded him to remember to take the medicine for heart disease, but I didn't expect this kind of accident to happen..."

He paused, and continued: "I would like to entrust you to help me investigate the cause of my son-in-law's death after this trip. No matter what, I just hope to get an accurate result."
