"Could it be that someone was killed and the body was thrown into the sea?"

Xu Tingzhou wore white gloves on his hands, looking like a mysophobic forensic doctor.

“It’s not impossible!”

Qiao Shu nodded and asked, "Now we need to find clues. Who was the last person to see them?"

"I just saw them in the restaurant. They were chatting and laughing, so happy. Who would have thought they would die so tragically!"

Someone nearby spoke with a local accent and came out to testify.

"I saw them in the entertainment room this morning, arguing with the waiter and some customers. Could it be that they were holding a grudge and killed someone?"

Another witness came forward and spoke with a slightly horrified tone!

"Recreation room? I'll have someone investigate right away!"

First Mate Zhang found a clue and clapped his hands before leading people to the entertainment room.

There were quite a few people in the entertainment room, karaoke room, and billiard room, and it was very noisy. The witness looked again and again and finally pointed out a waiter and a man dressed in fancy clothes.

First Mate Zhang waved his hand and had them taken away.

"Tell me, did you kill someone on the cruise ship? Confess and we'll give you leniency, resist and we'll punish you severely. But don't ruin our reputation. You know, this cruise ship has decades of history, and nothing like this has ever happened there."

First Mate Zhang had them tied up, planning to torture them if all else failed.

The waiter looked up at them stubbornly, "Why are you tying me up? Who are you to torture me on your own?"

First Mate Zhang was unconvinced and angrily demanded, "How dare you speak to your superiors like that? I've noticed something fishy about you. I've had someone check your information. You're a new employee. Since you came here, you've already argued with at least ten tourists. How did you get in? Are you a spy sent in by a competitor?"

The waiter, whose temper was even worse than his, snorted coldly, "Do you really need to send spies aboard this shabby ship of yours? It won't be long before they're all gone to waste."

"How can you talk like that? You little brat, do you need to be punished?"

First Mate Zhang was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and really wanted to give him a good beating.

"Cough cough cough!"

Xu Tingzhou coughed lightly and glanced over coldly. Mate Zhang then remembered that there was someone next to him and gave a wry smile.

"Officer Huangfu and Forensic Doctor Xu, these are the only two people. In my opinion, the murderer must be among them."

"It's unfair. I didn't do anything. How could I, a weak man like me, kill someone? You're kidding me."

The man who was dressed in fancy clothes was in tears. He never expected that he would be involved in such a storm.

Qiao Shu stood up and spoke for him, "Believe me, he is definitely not the murderer."

First Mate Zhang asked suspiciously, "Why not him? He just looks a little thinner, maybe it's just a disguise."

"We know him. His name is Ye Shaojun. He's a senior media person. You kidnapped him without knowing the truth. Be careful that after he gets off the ship, he will report all your affairs. If that happens, the news about your cruise ship will spread like wildfire, and it will be difficult to attract tourists."

Ignoring their questioning looks, Qiao Shu walked forward and untied Ye Shaojun.

"Qiao Shu, you're such a good person! I'm speechless. How come you're stuck in this mess before you even find the main group?"

Ye Shaojun moved his wrists and ankles, feeling helpless and speechless.

"Then tell me, how did you get into an argument when you ran into them earlier?"

Ye Shaojun tried hard to recall, "I remember that fat guy wanted to rent my karaoke room. I was so confused at the time that I didn't react. Seeing that he was embarrassed, the fat guy threw money in my face and told me to leave. I was so angry that I argued with him for a few words. Then the waiter came and they started arguing. I slipped away, but I walked around the cruise ship and couldn't find you. I wasn't familiar with this place, so I circled back. Who knew I would be kidnapped here?"

Qiao Shu certainly believed Ye Shaojun's words and nodded, saying, "It seems like they were killed only a short while ago."

"Were they really killed? They seemed to be showing off their wealth, so I'm afraid they were robbed."

Ye Shaojun touched his nose, with a very reasonable suspicion.

First Mate Zhang was still a little skeptical. "How come you weren't attracted to their money, so you deliberately followed them, killed them, and dumped their bodies at sea?"

Ye Shaojun was speechless. "With that fat guy's size, I can't even move him, okay? How can I throw him into the sea?"

"Anything is possible."

"Ye Shaojun is still a suspect for the time being, so Commander Huangfu will vouch for him and let him act alongside us. If there's any problem, we'll arrest him."

Qiao Shu said lightly, which was considered as proposing a method.

First Mate Zhang glanced at Huangfu Chengxiao. Seeing that he was silent, he tacitly agreed with Qiao Shu's statement and agreed, "Okay, with Commander Huangfu here, I think there will be no problem."

"As for him..."

First Mate Zhang looked at the waiter and said unhappily, "This guy is definitely the most suspicious. Maybe even his identity is fake."

"First mate, this guy has no alibi. I just asked the other people in the entertainment room, and they all said that he disappeared after the couple left. There's something fishy about this guy."

The other sailors ran over and pointed at the waiter.

"I told you, he is the murderer."

First Mate Zhang clapped his hands, becoming even more certain that the murderer was the waiter. "What else do you have to say?"

The waiter lowered his eyebrows, then suddenly revealed a wicked smile. He readily admitted, "Yes, I was the one who killed him!"

"What? It's really you?"

Seeing him admit it, First Mate Zhang took a deep breath and became alert. "Why did you kill someone on a cruise ship?"

The waiter looked at him with disdain and said nonchalantly, "Because they have a grudge against me, it's that simple!"

"So you deliberately hid your identity and boarded the cruise ship just for revenge?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Qiao Shu's eyes, and she suddenly felt that the name of this cruise ship was very strange. Avenger Cruise, which cruise ship would have such an unlucky name? The first case it encountered was revenge, which was really interesting.

The waiter scoffed and said bluntly, "Yeah, that fat guy was so servile in front of my mom just to cheat her out of her money. In the end, he really succeeded and took away all of my mom's assets, forcing her to jump off the building and commit suicide. Now, he took our money and took his little lover out on vacation. Bah, how could I let him do what he wanted and spend my money? I told him to spend it somewhere else!"
