Zhu Fujingguang's negotiations with the cruise company were not smooth.
Although he was covered in blood and looked like he had been attacked, perhaps because he did not have his police manual with him, the senior executives of the cruise company he spoke to on the phone did not believe that he was a police officer, and as a result, they did not believe what he said.
"If what you said is true, then the most important thing you should do now is to stop the other party's behavior, rather than directly ordering us to return."
The other party's tone was cold and hard, and it sounded like he didn't care about other people's lives, which made Zhu Fu Jingguang frown.
"My companions have already gone to stop them, but based on the intelligence we've obtained, we don't know if there are any more of them on this cruise ship. If an explosion does occur, it would be very troublesome for your company, right?"
After all, there are quite a few dignitaries on this cruise ship.
If they knew that the cruise company, for the sake of its own reputation, continued sailing even after knowing that there were dangerous people on the cruise ship, which led to them being in danger, then as a cruise company, the losses would probably be greater than if they had just returned directly, right?
Unfortunately, the person on the other end of the phone just snorted coldly at his words:
"Then go find them. Since you're capable of knowing that some illegal elements have infiltrated our company's ship, why not use your abilities to find them all? Anyway, I will never allow you to do anything that would jeopardize our company's reputation."
If they believe someone who tells them that their cruise ship might be in danger and they need to return early, what should they do if they later find out it was just a misunderstanding?
Or if the crisis is resolved and nothing happens in the end, what will they do if they are held accountable?
It's not just their company's reputation that's being damaged.
"So instead of telling me here, you'd better find the criminal as soon as possible."
"but……"
Before Zhu Fujingguang finished speaking, a series of "beep" sounds came from the microphone.
Now, his already frown became even tighter.
"Sir...what do you think we should do next..."?
Unlike the senior executive on the other end of the phone, as someone who had personally witnessed Zhu Fujingguang's current appearance, the captain had absolute trust in what he said.
After all, no one would get themselves into such a bloody state just for a prank.
But it's no use just for him to believe.
As a worker, even though he was the highest-ranking person on the ship, it was impossible for him to bypass other senior executives in the company and directly issue an order to return.
So faced with such a situation, he could only report what the other party said, and then the company's senior management would decide whether to return early for the safety of the passengers.
And the result was just as he expected.
Those senior executives who sit in their offices and don't care about anything that does not concern them don't care about the lives of these people at all.
Anyway, even if something really happens, there is an insurance company.
Then, in front of the media, I can wipe away a few tears and say that I never expected such an accident to happen, and express my deepest condolences to those who died in the accident. By the way, I can also divert everyone's attention and hold the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency accountable...
This matter is over.
But if nothing happened and they let the cruise ship return directly, they would be the ones to be held accountable.
So the captain was not surprised by the other party's choice, but this did not prevent him from wanting to find a way to survive.
However, just when they were planning to bypass the cruise company's senior management and contact the Maritime Self-Defense Force directly, Hoshino Aoi appeared at the door of the cab with scratches all over her body.
"Xiao Kui!"
Zhu Fujingguang's eyes lit up.
"Are you okay? Has the criminal been caught?"
"Yeah, it's done."
Thinking of the man who was tied to the bomb by her, and the bomb would explode immediately if he moved, Hoshino Aoi nodded calmly:
"I attacked him from behind when he wasn't prepared, but I didn't have any rope or handcuffs, so I could only knock him out and leave him there."
"That bomb...?"
"I've already dismantled the bomb. Unless he has other accomplices and they've planted bombs elsewhere, there shouldn't be any problems."
At this point, Hoshino Aoi glanced at the captain standing next to Moruofushi Jingguang and asked him politely:
"By the way, if I remember correctly, cruise ships usually have cells or solitary confinement rooms for holding prisoners, right? Could you please give me the key so I can lock someone up there?"
"Oh? Oh, okay..."
The captain was a little confused. He didn't expect that a crisis could be successfully resolved like this.
However, at this moment, a loud noise accompanied by violent shaking made the expressions of several people freeze instantly.
"Damn it! It was an explosion! That man really had other accomplices on this boat!"
Zhu Fu Jingguang ran out of the cab staggeringly with dried blood on his head.
Seeing this, Hoshino Aoi also ran out with an anxious look on her face.
"Please contact the Maritime Self-Defense Force and ask them to arrange a rescue as soon as possible!"
As she ran, she shouted to the captain behind her.
"Xiao Kui, I'll go get the prisoner out. You go work with the crew on the ship and help everyone leave smoothly."
Seeing that she ran out with him, Zhu Fu Jingguang pointed in two different directions without saying a word.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
We must not let him pass!
Hoshino Aoi thought to herself.
After all, if he really went there, he would find that the explosion started from there.
Then the 'accomplice theory' that she had led him to think of before would naturally be refuted.
So the anxiety on her face at this moment was not completely fake, but the reason for her anxiety was completely different from what Zhu Fu Jingguang thought.
"Since there are still people on the ship, the reason they detonated the bomb is very likely to cause a commotion and then rescue him. If you go over there now, wouldn't you be rushing to deliver food?"
Aoi Hoshino's face was full of disapproval:
"You're the only... two... three... four... five... five close friends I have! What if one of them were to disappear?!"
