It's natural to be scared when you encounter a dead person for the first time, especially since it involves your business!
I need to stay by her side and keep her company!
Pooh!
Yan Chengjun mentally cursed Jiang Zhiyi.
Doesn't he know what kind of cunning old fox he is?
A woman who can remain calm and collected even when faced with a shooting abroad, what's she trying to prove here!
To quote that word women like to use as an insult—
What a green tea b*tch!
What kind of nonsense is it to monopolize someone else's wife?
Yan Chengjun dared not speak out in anger, and could only watch helplessly as the two snuggled together.
Before they knew it, the area outside the police line had become crowded with people.
Everyone was terrified; some even fainted from fright!
The bolder ones had already gathered in a group, pointing and commenting on the corpse in front of the wooden house.
"Isn't that General Manager Yuan from Yuan's Technology?"
"He, he—"
"Sigh, judging from the way he looks, I guess he can't be saved."
"My God, Mrs. Yuan is also on the island. If she finds out, she definitely won't be able to handle it!"
"Mr. Yuan's daughter seems to have just turned seven. She's so young and already lost her father..."
"Who did this? Could there be a psychopath on the island?!"
A greasy, pot-bellied man shouted loudly.
"Help! I need to go back, right now! Immediately!"
The noblewoman who had just fainted was so frightened by these words that her eyes rolled back and she fainted again.
"It doesn't look like she was murdered. There's not a drop of blood on her body. Maybe she drowned by accident."
A bespectacled man who arrived early offered his opinion.
The commotion in the crowd subsided somewhat.
Jiang Zhiyi ignored everyone's doubts; the most urgent matter was—
First, take the body back!
To avoid affecting the autopsy results due to exposure to direct sunlight!
She instructed the doctor to cover Yuan Shu's body with a white sheet and carry him back on a stretcher.
As the body passed by, the women all smelled a familiar scent of ointment...
The three people who knew the truth looked at each other and froze on the spot!
This smell is clearly the same as the black ointment Lin Ke'er took out the day before yesterday, which was filled with whale pheromones signaling for help.
Could she have killed him?
Yan Miao looked up and met Lin Ke'er's gaze, who was watching from the crowd.
She also smelled the ointment, her eyes filled with disbelief, and she frantically shook her head and denied it to Yan Miao!
It wasn't her!
It has nothing to do with her!
She didn't know why the ointment was applied to Yuan Shu's body.
If someone finds out, I'm finished!
You clearly threw it away!
The pheromone scent on the corpse had long been washed away by the seawater, leaving no trace of odor, only a strong medicinal smell.
Because the ointment is oily, it is difficult to wash off, so it remains on the surface of the skin.
After the doctor goes back and performs an examination, they will only find residue of ointment on his body, and will not be able to detect any pheromones.
This method, like Old Mrs. Liu's attempt to kill Lin Ke'er silently, leaves no clues.
They also didn't believe that the murderer could be Lin Ke'er!
Lin Ke'er had no grudge against Yuan Shu and had just learned the truth about her child's tragic death. She only hated Old Mrs. Liu and wouldn't bother to hurt someone who was completely unrelated to her.
Did you call the Coast Guard?
The hotel manager, who was being questioned, broke out in a cold sweat and whispered something in Jiang Zhiyi's ear.
Jiang Zhiyi's expression changed drastically!
"Since there's no signal, let's take the cruise ship ashore and find someone!"
"Mr. Jiang, that was our initial thought too, but when the guards arrived just now, they found that all the cruise ship's engines had been destroyed. We're completely trapped on the island now..."
"Fortunately, the island has sufficient supplies and enough electricity to maintain daily use, but there is no signal, so we can't leave the island."
The manager's voice grew softer and softer.
Zhu Lan and Yan's family did hear it; it seems this was a premeditated murder!
The murderer wanted to trap them all at sea!
That shouldn't be the case. Since he had already killed Yuan Shu, and it happened at sea, it would have been difficult to obtain evidence. Why would he go to the trouble of damaging the cruise ship and leaving more clues?
………
The group accompanied Jiang Zhiyi in a patrol car on the island to inspect the cruise ship's berth.
As expected—
The damage was visible even from the outside deck.
It looked as if someone had dragged a heavy iron hammer weighing dozens of kilograms along, leaving a long scratch on the deck with the hammerhead.
Yan Miao walked into her own cruise ship, where the control room had been smashed to pieces!
They didn't even spare the glass!
Glass shards littered the floor, and the situation inside the control room was appalling.
The machine couldn't even start, let alone the damaged engine.
The murderer must have been very familiar with luxury cruise ships, which makes sense, considering that those who come here are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries who would be extremely familiar with cruise ships.
"How outrageous!"
"If this guy had only smashed one or two ships, that would be one thing, but he's damaged all the cruise ships. If we investigate, it'll cost at least a billion dollars to settle this!"
Yan Zhao looked at his "shabby" home and felt heartbroken.
"By the way, Aunt Jiang, there are surveillance cameras on the shore, right? Could you check who came here this morning?"
When Yan Miao arrived, she saw a row of surveillance cameras.
She didn't believe it; she couldn't capture anything!
"Miss Yan, what a coincidence. There was a problem with the circuit, and the signal was also cut off... The surveillance cameras have been out of sync for a long time, and the footage is from yesterday morning."
