Trafford’s Trading Club

"What? You made this up?!"

In the restaurant, Mahou De pressed his hands on the table and stood up suddenly, which immediately attracted the attention of several guests in the restaurant. ?

But Sir Ma had seen people in a big scene, so he immediately glared in a circle and shouted: "What are you looking at! Do you want to accept the gaze of the police!"

Everyone bowed their heads to eat.

Mahou De then acted as if nothing had happened. He sat down again, looked at the old captain, frowned and asked: "Captain, I don't understand why you would fabricate such a rumor. Is it really just to make a fuss?" Is the gimmick attractive?”

The old captain shook his head and said: "Actually, I never thought the effect would be so good at first. But later it spread, and it attracted a lot of tourists, and many people came to interview for jobs. I remember that at that time, even the most miserable Even the most tired cabin repair apprentices have many people rushing to do it."

Officer Ma... Sir Ma suddenly choked, but he clearly didn't drink any water.

Ren Ziling had no choice but to roll her eyes and then asked: "Old captain, you said you didn't want this at the beginning, so what's the reason?"

The old captain sighed and said, "Because it was haunted at that time."

"Haunted?" Lizi blinked, "What kind of spirit... ghost is it?"

The old captain shook his head and said: "I have never seen what it looks like. It was just spread among the crew at that time. Some people said they saw a white shadow floating by, some said they saw a terrifying face. Others said When I was patrolling at night, I heard the sound of mourning... Anyway, there were all kinds of rumors at the time, which made people panic. It was still the 1990s, and it had not been open for a long time. Most people were still ignorant."

The old captain recalled: "Many people resigned one after another because they were afraid. The company also invited Taoist priests to practice methods at that time, but it didn't work. Some people still said that they could encounter strange things. What happened later Once word spread, not many tourists were willing to board the ship. At that time, the company had no choice but to temporarily use the White Jade as a cargo ship for a while."

Ma Houde was stunned and said in astonishment: "That's not right. If it is said to be haunted, why don't I know about it? I am also a person of that era, right?"

The old captain glanced at Sir Ma and said calmly: "That's because the White Jade was not in this city at the beginning. It took about half a year to transport cargo before it officially registered here. Of course, this matter was not mentioned at all to the outside world. It’s just that it was the first time it sailed. The White Jade was also renamed after coming here to lead us. At first, its name was the Vidona.”

"There is such a thing..." Ma Houde shook his head, "Sure enough, there is no businessman but no treachery... What happened next? You started spreading rumors?"

The old captain said calmly: "Officer, I am the captain of this ship, so I naturally have the responsibility to solve the problems on the ship. What is the use of the cruise ship if it cannot make a profit? In order to prevent the rumors of haunting from spreading in this city, I Quietly spreading the treasure story. Young people are always easily driven by profit... I originally planned to cover up the haunting legend, but I didn't expect that after the treasure story spread, it caused a huge topic. Sex has caused tourists to buy tickets like crazy for a period of time, and many people came to see workers. The company was happy to see it, so it naturally let it go."

Mahoude suddenly said: "No wonder... the White Jade has treasures, but the flights have never stopped. It has been popular for a while, but there is no movement at all from the cruise company, and I have never heard of the White Jade entering the shipyard. I Let’s just say, if there is a treasure, will your company let it go?”

The old captain said: "Officer Ma, this is the origin of the treasure... But this matter is just fiction. Why do you think it is related to this murder case?"

Ma Houde shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that there are eight ways... Haha, I figured it out, it's okay! It's completely okay! Tsk..."

But under the table, Ma Houde's feet were severely stepped on by Aunt Ren sitting opposite.

Ren Ziling suddenly asked at this time: "Old Captain, you are so powerful. You solved this problem with just one simple move... How did you come up with the idea of ​​​​treasure? After all, the White Jade was imported from abroad. Before delivery, everything must be inspected inside and out. It shouldn’t be easy to convince others that there are treasures on such a ship, right?”

The old captain said in astonishment: "Don't you know?"

"What do you know?" Ma Houde said in a daze.

The old captain said seriously: "The White Jade is not an original cruise ship. It was formerly a warship. It once participated in the pirate annihilation war in Somalia. It was later sunk, and then it was decommissioned and transformed into a cruise ship. Then Export to countries in China."

Ren Ziling shook her head in astonishment: "The White Jade No. was not mentioned at all in the introduction album."

The old captain suddenly said: "By the way, this part of the information was no longer printed in the atlas when we came to this city."

"But what does this have to do with the treasure?" Ren Ziling asked.

The old captain said: "The White Jade had a not-so-good record of being hijacked. Later, although it was said that it was recovered, it was not a glorious thing after all. Because not many people knew about this matter... They all had a gag order, so I borrowed this incident to come up with the treasure thing.”

The old captain drank the water, and then said slowly: "I made up a story, saying that when the White Jade was hijacked, the pirates used it to transport wealth. Later, although it was recaptured by the navy, a large amount of treasure was recovered. But In fact, there is a very valuable treasure hidden deep inside the White Jade by pirates. Unless the White Jade is completely dismantled, no one except the pirate leader will know where the treasure is. Anyway, I just made it up. It’s a story, but I didn’t expect so many people to believe it.”

"It is a treasure after all." Ren Ziling shrugged, looked at Sir Ma and sneered: "There are many people who hold unrealistic fantasies and want to get rich overnight."

Ma Houde... Sir Ma looked down at the menu and suddenly said: "Lin Feng, are you hungry? Do you want a plate of oysters?"

"Roar!"

Ren Ziling shook her head, then looked at the captain and said, "But, captain, since the White Jade was hijacked by pirates and a gag order was issued...how did you know?"

The old captain then said: "Before I was the captain of the White Jade, I was actually on it... I used to be a supernumerary naval officer. However, because I am an overseas Chinese, I have never been reused, and I was even excluded. ...After the White Jade was sunk and salvaged, I retired from the service, and later I was arranged to work as a foreman in a large shipyard. Unexpectedly, the White Jade was later sent to the same shipyard for renovation. Maybe my luck came later, and a domestic company I came here to look for new ships, and after I contacted them, they offered me good terms and hoped that I could serve as the captain of the new ship, so I agreed.”

The old captain breathed out slowly, his eyes a little cloudy, "At first, I just planned to take this opportunity to return to the country and take it one step at a time. I didn't expect that this captain would do it for thirty years... In life, there will always be some things that happen. Things you don’t expect.”

Ma Houde naturally had a sighing look on his face, patted the old captain's arm and said: "Captain, our country is getting better and better! You are right to come back!"

The old captain just smiled. At this time, his phone suddenly rang. After a while, the old captain hung up and then said: "Sorry, Officer Ma, there is a dedicated phone number for me from the company over there in the central control room. I have to go there." trip."

"Okay, you go ahead." Mahoude nodded.

After the old captain left, Ma Houde suddenly stood up, pointed angrily at Aunt Ren and roared: "You bastard, you just stepped on me!!!"

"I didn't!" Ren Ziling opened her watery eyes wide, "Which of your eyes saw me stepping on you!"

"Holy shit, can you be more shameless!"

Unexpectedly, Aunt Ren said seriously: "Well, it must be haunted. Didn't Captain Gang just say that there is a ghost... Lao Ma, are you doing something wrong and being targeted by a ghost?"

Ma Houde pointed to the sky and cursed: "Even if he is a ghost, he must be a troublemaker! A stingy ghost! A miser!!"

"Exactly." Ren Ziling gave her third middle finger greeting, and then mused: "This old captain, if he had been in the navy and fought against pirates, he would have seen such a big scene, so how could he not see a dead man? That reaction seems to make sense. After all, a lot of people will die in a naval battle..."

Lin Feng said helplessly: "In other words... are we asking this question in vain?"

"Now we can only rely on Xiaobao." Ma Houde also sighed and said: "I hope he can give us some clues... By the way!"

Ma Houde immediately regained his energy, "Let's continue to arrest people! That woman and Feiying, we can't let anyone go! Lin Feng, Alai, gogogo!"

So, the police trio hurried away again.

Lizi saw that she had wiped out everything on the table, so she patted her belly and said, "Sister Ren, should we go back to the room?"

Ren Ziling thought for a while and said: "Let's just walk around... I still feel that something is wrong, but I always say it."

"...Do we still have to climb the ceiling?" Li Zi said with lingering fear.

"I want to hang out in the central control room this time." Ren Ziling stood up and said, "Look at the surveillance."

…

"It's me, Mu Enli." The captain picked up the phone in his office.

The person on the other end of the satellite phone was a senior executive of the company, and the voice was slightly deep: "Captain Mu, after our impromptu meeting, we decided to have the White Jade return immediately."

The old captain frowned: "Return to sail immediately?"

"That's right! The news of the death has spread, and many tourists have said on the Internet that if they don't come back, there will be big trouble. So we will return immediately. The company will compensate the tourists for the matter. You go and announce this decision. "

The old captain didn't say anything more, and simply said: "I understand."

After a while, the old captain suddenly turned off the satellite phone, left the office, and came to the control room.

He looked at the crew members who were looking at him and said calmly: "It's nothing. The company just asked about the case. You can continue to work. The White Jade will still sail as planned... Haibei Island , when will it arrive?"

"Well, we'll be there in three hours." The crew member smiled and said, "Well, it's really a beautiful island. Although I can see it every time I take this route, I never get tired of seeing it... I hope to wait. I’ll take a look and feel relieved!”

"I'm going out for a walk. If anything happens, let me know." The old captain said calmly.

…

…

"Can I sit down here?"

This was the sound heard by Boss Luo and the maid. After delivering food to Mrs. Ma, the master and servant continued to wander around the cruise ship, and finally came to the deck of the sightseeing area, simply looking at the calm ocean.

"Of course." Luo Qiu smiled slightly, "There are many empty seats here."

So the person who spoke also smiled and sat down... This was the thirty-year-old woman that Boss Luo and You Ye met in the corridor not long ago.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." The woman said calmly, stroking her head that was blown away by the sea breeze.

"This ship is not big, so it is not strange to encounter it." Luo Qiu said casually.

"That can be considered fate, right?" The woman smiled softly, winked and said, "I haven't introduced you yet, my name is Muzi. If you don't mind, you can call me sister...but don't call me aunt!"

"Luo Qiu." Boss Luo said simply. 8
