Chapter 131 The Missing First Mate (2)
With a clear purpose, Sun Liang and his party quickly arrived at a large ship at the front of the port.
This ship is enormous, with a displacement of approximately 150,000 tons, a total length of approximately 345 meters, and a height of approximately 72 meters, equivalent to a 21-story "sea giant."
When you get on the ship, in addition to the bustling passengers, there are also many staff members on the ship, about nearly a thousand people. It is said that it can accommodate about two thousand passengers.
Sun Liang and his party quickly boarded the ship and asked for the captain.
A crew member politely led them to the antelope ladder...
Are there elevators on ocean liners?
Several people walked into the elevator, and when they reached the fifth floor, the door opened.
The fifth floor seemed to be an office area. In the corridor, only the rustling of the carpet under their feet could be heard, no human voices or other sounds could be heard.
Soon, the crew led them to a room at the very end.
A large office of about 40 square meters seems quite luxurious on a ship that has been drifting on the sea for years and where every inch of space is valuable.
An old man with white hair was standing in front of the French window, lost in thought. He was holding a wooden pipe, and the faint smell of smoke drifted towards Sun Liang and the others.
Hearing the sound, the old man turned around——
He is not very tall, about 1.7 meters.
He is not a big man, but looks a bit fat.
"Excuse me..." the old man asked. Sun Liang thought, "I think he's the captain, judging by his dignified face."
"We are from the First Criminal Police Brigade of Huacheng City. We are here mainly to investigate and learn about a transnational case." Sun Liang spoke quickly, stating his identity and purpose.
"Oh. I miss you. I saw you last time. It was you who came to search our ship when the ship was about to leave and found several children hiding at the bottom of the cabin... I want to thank you for this. Otherwise, if we were discovered in other countries, we would be fined heavily!" said the old captain.
"You're welcome. This is what we should do." Sun Liang.
"Please sit down, please sit down." The captain asked the crew to quickly make tea and water for the guests.
After sitting down and exchanging some pleasantries, the captain spoke.
"Who do you want to see today?"
"We want to find Kaixuan. According to reports, he is your son-in-law and also the first mate of this ship." Sun Liang.
"Kaixuan? Are you mistaken?" We don't have such a person here, and I don't have such a son-in-law. There is no one with this name among my first mates. "Old captain.
"Impossible?" Sun Liang.
"Xiao, go get our roster and ask Captain Sun to review it. At the same time, get the two first mates over." The old captain.
The crew agreed to go down and implement the captain's instructions.
Sun Liang and the others felt a little confused.
After a while, the crew brought in two first mates, one taller and one shorter. Looking at their appearance, apart from the difference in height, they both had extremely ordinary faces.
"Captain, this is the roster." The crew respectfully handed a thick roster to the captain.
"Okay, you can go down." Captain.
"Captain Sun, this is the roster. Take a look and see if the person you are looking for is there?" the captain asked with a smile.
Sun Liang took the roster and looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, after searching everywhere, I didn’t see the man named “Jiang Kaixuan”!
"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?" asked the old captain.
"But I remember that two months ago, when I came to search your place, it seemed that it was not either of the two first mates, but someone else." Sun Liang.
