"If it weren't for that, the cruise ship wouldn't have been damaged without our knowledge."
"By the time we discovered the damage to the cruise ship, it was too late. The perpetrator was very cautious, wearing gloves throughout the entire crime and leaving no trace."
"What we can do now is to restore the signal as soon as possible and make contact with the outside world."
"But please rest assured that the island has ample supplies, enough for the entire island to live on for two years, and there will be no problem."
The hotel manager quickly took over the conversation.
As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Zhiyi, then immediately looked away.
In a mere second, their eyes didn't even meet, yet Yan Miao still sensed something was amiss.
There's definitely something fishy about these two!
"Lanlan, let's go back first, there's nothing to see here."
"As you saw with your own eyes, not a single cruise ship is usable. Calling the police is out of the question, and going out is not an option for the time being."
"It's not safe to stay here for long. We're not sure if the fuel tank has been damaged. If the fuel leaks, it could create a safety hazard."
"Safety is the priority, let's go back first."
Jiang Zhi saw that Zhu Lan still had ideas to go further, and immediately stopped her.
Zhu Lan thought she hadn't recovered yet, so she quickly agreed, "Okay, go back and get some rest. You must have been scared by what happened today."
Jiang Zhiyi leaned against her like a little bird, and asked expectantly, "Can you rest with me?"
"This is the first time I've ever seen a dead person in my life. I'll probably have nightmares at noon..."
Depend on!
Shameless! You even have nightmares!
I could go up the mountain, dig up a dried corpse, and throw it on your bed, and you wouldn't even be scared.
In front of Ah Lan, she pretended to be incredibly weak!
Yan Chengjun scoffed at her underhanded tactics. If it weren't for helping Alan regain her memory, he wouldn't have bothered with Jiang Zhiyi.
She did nothing wrong to Ah Lan, but...
"Aunt Jiang, I'll go with you too. It'll be easier to take care of each other if there are three of us."
Yan Miao was worried and decided to leave Zhu Lan alone with Jiang Zhiyi.
The sudden suggestion from the other party made Jiang Zhiyi's smile freeze for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said, "Okay, it's harder when there are more people. I'm not afraid when there are more people."
…………
Inside the hotel's VIP suite.
Lin Ke'er knocked on the door and entered the room. Upon seeing the three of them, she began to explain, "I swear, this has nothing to do with me!"
"I have no grudge against Yuan Shu, so I have no reason to harm him!"
"As for the ointment, I've been planning to throw it away ever since I found out the truth. It's still in the hotel room, but I'm afraid the nanny will find it and tell my mother-in-law, so I—"
"You just threw it outside?"
Yan Miao asked her.
"I threw it into the sea!"
“I remember you said that it contains pheromones that would attract whales. I was afraid that throwing this ointment into the sea would hurt people, so I wrapped it in layers of cling film and plastic bags.”
"They made sure it was wrapped up tightly before throwing it into the sea!"
"I really didn't know that Yuan Shu would have that kind of ointment on his body... President Jiang, Zhu Lan, you have to save me, you have to be my witnesses, I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything!"
Lin Ke'er was so panicked that she was completely at a loss.
Clutching Jiang Zhiyi's sleeve tightly, he pleaded, "Please, President Jiang!"
She knew that only Jiang Zhiyi could solve this problem!
The murder occurred on her island. If she is willing to cooperate by providing surveillance footage or proving that she did not have the opportunity to commit the crime, she will definitely be able to clear her name.
Lin Ke'er discovered that her luck had been consistently bad ever since she set foot on the island.
One unpleasant thing after another has happened, and now it has even escalated to the point of endangering lives!
"Do you think Yuan Shu might have found some plaster on the beach and applied it to himself out of curiosity?"
No, no, no, it absolutely must not be like that!
If that's the case, he'll be in deep trouble and the Yuan family will tear him to shreds.
Seeing him trembling all over, Zhu Lan knew what he was thinking.
"Don't be afraid. Yuan Shu is no ordinary person. Even if he finds something unknown while playing in the sea, he won't use it on himself."
Therefore, her worries are completely unfounded.
Or, we could start by investigating those who had conflicts with Yuan Shu, to see who is more likely to commit the crime!
[The murderer was definitely not Lin Ke'er; she simply threw away the ointment, not applied it to Yuan Shu's body.]
The problem lies with Jiang Zhiyi...
Yan Miao sat on the sofa without saying a word, but her mind was racing.
Zhu Lan's heart skipped a beat.
Miaomiao said that Zhiyi has a problem!
Could it be her...?
Impossible. Yuan Shu was her important business partner. Even if the deal fell through, it wouldn't warrant killing someone.
Moreover, she had heard Sungjun mention the projects of the two companies.
The intentions of both parties to cooperate are very clear, and there is absolutely no conflict of interest!
They have a win-win situation; once the project is completed, the money they receive will be enough to crush a lot of people!
No wonder Jiang Zhiyi was protecting the suspect; it turns out the person who sabotaged the cruise ship was her own second brother, Jiang Zhixing!
Zhu Lan suddenly remembered that when Miao Miao asked about the surveillance footage, the hotel manager had given a stammering answer.
So there really was a problem!
[It's true that the signal was malfunctioning, but the surveillance cameras weren't broken. Jiang Zhiyi was intentionally concealing it, not wanting anyone to know who had sabotaged the cruise ship.]
