On the deck under the setting sun, Dorothy rubbed her temples and fell into deep thought for a moment. After thinking for a while, she suddenly had an idea and realized a key point that she had overlooked.
"Wait... why did the medicine on the fish have to be put on by someone? What if... it was already on them?"
Suddenly, Dorothy realized that she had overlooked an important possibility, that is, the possibility that the fish itself was carrying drugs. Although Dorothy thought this possibility was a little incredible, in order to be safe, she immediately controlled the corpse puppet to steal a live fish that had been caught not long ago from the water tank in the kitchen. There were a lot of fish caught today, but not all of them were grilled. Some of the fish were collected by the fisherman himself, and some were taken back by the chef to be raised and prepared for dinner. It would be a waste to only grill so many delicious fish.
With the cooperation of several humanoid corpse puppets, Dorothy successfully stole the fish from the kitchen and had the puppets transport it to an unmanned storage room under the deck. Here, Dorothy had the puppets dissect the fish and used props such as the illumination lamp to confirm that the cooked fish did contain a very small amount of cupric acid.
"As expected... the drugs on these fish are not added after they are caught, but are already in their bodies before they are caught... No wonder the chefs and anglers have no problems..."
Seeing the autopsy results, Dorothy understood everything, and then a new question arose in her mind, that is, why do these natural fish in the sea contain drugs?
As soon as this question emerged in Dorothy's mind, a new idea immediately emerged in her heart. With this idea, she slowly stood up, walked to the side of the ship and looked at the surging sea below. At this moment, the large number of fish gathered around the ship had disappeared. Without the attraction of the fish, the onlookers on the side of the ship had also dispersed. At this time, more tourists on the deck were here to appreciate the sunset on the sea. The surroundings were completely peaceful and harmonious.
"Wait a little longer before confirming..."
Dorothy murmured as she looked at the scene before her, and then she stood up and began to return to her cabin.
…
Time passed quickly, and soon the sun went down completely, and the sea welcomed the night. With the arrival of night, the tourists on the main deck returned to their cabins one after another and began new fun in the entertainment room inside the cruise ship. At this time, Dorothy, who was resting in her room, also took action.
Sitting on the bed in the room, Dorothy controlled several bird-shaped corpse dolls that she had prepared outside in advance. They flew into the air in the dark night, flew to the side of the ship, and slowly descended, flying under the side of the ship, to the side of the cruise ship, moving at the same speed as the cruise ship. Under Dorothy's control, the bird-shaped corpse dolls flew to a position a few meters above the sea surface, close to the hull. During the day, the swarming schools of fish were at this position of the ship.
Then, Dorothy let the puppet birds operate each other, letting the other birds peck open the small lantern held in the mouth of a big bird. Suddenly, the dark sea around was illuminated, and Dorothy could see every detail of that area more clearly.
Then, Dorothy turned on the lights and used the vision of the corpse doll to observe the hull around her, looking at the steel wall above the surging waves, carefully observing every corner there, and finally, she found a circular opening.
This is a circular opening with a small section of pipe extending out from it. The edge of the opening is covered with all kinds of black and sticky dirt, including black oil, vegetable leaves, and other things. It is obvious that this is the sewage outlet of the cruise ship, and the waste water of the cruise ship is discharged from here into the sea.
Seeing the sewage outlet, Dorothy paused for a moment, then controlled the corpse birds to interact with each other, allowing the lamp in the mouth of another big bird to be turned on. This lamp had a soft orange glow, and when it shone on the sewage outlet, some extremely tiny red spots appeared under the illumination of the light, and a red warning sign also appeared on the orange lamp.
Yes, the lamp Dorothy used this time was the Huijian lamp. When operating at high power, it could illuminate extremely rare and subtle artificial spiritual traces that Dorothy could not detect even with her spiritual vision. These were the traces on the sewage outlet.
“As expected…”
After seeing the traces on the sewage outlet, Dorothy understood clearly in her mind why the fish gathered around the boat this afternoon. It was not the normal reason for gathering as Dorothy had thought before, but because there was something here that attracted the fish.
What attracts these fish is the sewage sprayed out of the sewage outlet. The sewage contains a large amount of rich antibiotics. The fish gather near the sewage outlet because of the attraction of the antibiotics. They compete to swallow the antibiotics in the sewage. Due to the characteristics of the antibiotics, they will be quickly absorbed into the fish's body. Then these fish are hoisted by the fishing tourists and put on the grill. After grilling, these fish are eaten by the passengers. The trace amount of antibiotics in them successfully stimulates the passengers' appetite.
"Fortunately, I didn't eat it..."
After figuring out where the poison in the fish came from, Dorothy couldn't help but whisper with relief, and then she continued to analyze her new discovery.
"These fish poisons were discharged from the wastewater of mixed ships. This means that the owner of the fish poison seems to be a fish poison dealer. The fish poison attracts fish and triggers tourists' fishing craze. It may be an accidental phenomenon. Feeding fish with fish poison may not be the intention of the fish poison owner. This may be a coincidence, not a conspiracy..."
Dorothy analyzed this, but at this point, she did not intend to relax and take it lightly. She did not intend to stop until she had thoroughly figured out the matter, and she would continue to explore the secrets of the ship.
Then, Dorothy immediately retrieved the bird corpse dolls on the sea, and then rearranged the many miniature corpse dolls scattered around the ship, and began searching and monitoring the kitchen, laundry cabin, medical cabin, washroom, and other places where ship sewage was produced. During this period, Dorothy also used a seeking talisman to assist in the search. This seeking talisman was given to her by a friend of the Haiyuan Cult as a gift during the last incident of the Shining White Pearl.
After a while, Dorothy's new round of search yielded results. In a bathroom on the ship, Dorothy smelled a large amount of residual blood with the Seeking Talisman. Having experienced similar scenes, Dorothy instantly concluded that someone had been drowned in this bathroom not long ago...
Maybe... someone was killed here...
