Chapter 1164 The Reason for the Incident

However, due to the inaction of the ship's crew, the passengers were unable to find the thieves in a short time. After arriving at the port, the passengers had no choice but to disembark and leave, accepting their bad luck. As a result, Ah Ren had always succeeded without any mishaps.

Upon hearing Ah Ren's account, Fei Zai suddenly realized what was going on. Pointing at Ah Ren, he said angrily, "No wonder thefts keep happening on the ship. It turns out it's all your doing! You bastard, you found a way to make money and kept it from me. You're really dishonest. I even considered you my brother!"

He didn't care at all that Ah Ren stole the money; what he was unhappy about was that Ah Ren had taken such a good way to make money all by himself, which was unforgivable!

Ah Ren was a little embarrassed. He touched the bridge of his nose, chuckled, and explained, "Don't be angry. I wanted to tell you before, but you're too greedy. If you were to take action, you wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of colorful banknotes and good things. Sooner or later, things would go wrong. Besides, you can't do this kind of thing too often. I only take action when I see an opportunity. Even so, I didn't get much. It's just pocket money."

Fei Zai thought it made sense. He knew his own personality, and Ah Ren was right. He waved his hand and said, "Go on!"

Seeing that Fei Zai didn't seem to care, Ah Ren felt a little relieved and then explained the situation.

This time, as soon as Naoto Yanagawa and his group boarded the ship in France, they were spotted by A-Ren. First of all, he was very hostile to these Japanese people. Secondly, Yanagawa quickly became very close to Sandra. Fine wine and beautiful women naturally cost a lot of money, and Naoto Yanagawa was quite generous, which A-Ren noticed.

So, on the night before the ship was to arrive in Hong Kong, Ah Ren made his move. That night, he had a bad run of luck while playing cards with the other crew members and had lost almost all the money in his pocket. So he made an excuse to leave, went to Liu Chuan's room, opened the door with the copied key, and quickly found a stack of cash in the drawer. As usual, he took some of it and then left the room.

When Ah Ren finished his story, Fei Zai immediately became unhappy and said, "Who are you trying to fool? We all know that Liu Chuan's belongings were all gone. You said you went in and only brought back some cash. What happened to that thing? Did anyone else go into Liu Chuan's room besides you?"

After Liu Chuan's death, several assistants became anxious and even clashed with the captain, causing a great commotion on the cruise ship. Fei Zai and A Ren were present and had a good understanding of the situation.

When Ah Ren saw that Fei Zai didn't believe him, he quickly spread his hands and hurriedly explained, "I really didn't take anything else. Think about it, when I went in, Liu Chuan hadn't come back yet, so how did his leather shoes and clothes go missing? How could I have taken them?"

Besides, I was just withdrawing some money; I had no idea Liuchuan was hiding anything valuable. If I had known there were such valuable items that the British and Japanese were envious, I wouldn't have dared to take them. It would definitely cause trouble, and what good would it do me if things escalated?"

Upon hearing this, Fei Zai was also stunned. That's right. According to the timeline, when A Ren left the room, Liu Chuan and that foreign woman were still in the bar and it was impossible for them to have any contact. Other things could have been taken by A Ren, but Liu Chuan's personal belongings could not have been taken by A Ren.

He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, muttering to himself, "That's strange! If it wasn't you who took it, then it must have been that foreign woman, but she certainly didn't find it either, otherwise she wouldn't have detained the ship and searched the passengers. What's going on?"

At this moment, Ah Ren hesitated for a moment, and finally said with some uncertainty, "However, when I took the money from the drawer, there was also a box of high-end cigars next to me. When I opened it, I saw that it was the best one on the market, which was very valuable. There were still quite a few inside, so I just grabbed a handful. Other than that, I didn't take anything else."

cigar?

Fei Zai immediately perked up, leaned forward abruptly, grabbed Ah Ren's hand, and asked urgently, "Where's the cigar?"
