Chapter 277

Time passed slowly. Unconsciously, midnight had passed.

"Time has passed. We can't touch this case anymore."

The group leader, who looked a lot older, walked into the entertainment room from the outside and said with a self mocking smile: "ha ha, if you really want to say, I quit my job as a criminal police two years ago and had no such qualification for a long time."

"Team leader." Maori Kogoro wanted to comfort team leader shazaki, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Team leader shaizaki went to the bar and asked the bartender for a glass of wine. Seeing this, Maori xiaowulang followed him and drank with him.

Sakabe looked at the two people who were worried by drinking and said, "even if this is the case he was responsible for tracking down in the past, it's a little too invested?"

Bai yanzhenyu shrugged and said with emotion, "this is probably the so-called duty of the police."

Before long, keii dingxiong also came back, so they continued the previous poker game.

However, after a few more rounds of games, there was a loud bang on the deck outside.

Xiaolan looked up at Baiyan Zhenyu suspiciously and asked, "brother Zhenyu, what was that sound just now?"

"It's gunfire, Xiao Lan. You stay here and pay attention to safety."

Baiyan Zhenyu stood up with a dignified look and told Xiaolan to run to the deck with Maori xiaowulang and others.

On the way to the deck, group leader makasaki asked Maori Kogoro, "Maori, what time is it now?"

Maori xiaowulang quickly took out his watch, looked at it and replied, "team leader, 12:08."

"The flag, the flag is on fire!"

When they came to the deck, they were surprised to find that the flag on the mast was lit by someone.

"What was that sound just now?"

"What happened?"

Hailao Mingren and jibeizhu, who had left the entertainment room earlier, also came to the deck and asked the people what had just happened.

Bai Yanzhen turned around and found a note nailed to the bench not far from the mast by a knife. He quickly reminded him, "uncle, officer shazaki, look there!"

The crowd went over and found that it was an old ten thousand yuan note from the Showa era, with a line of writing left on it in black ink.

"Poseidon, the God of the sea, has given me life again, and my shadow will rise again." group leader makasaki put on his white gloves, took down his knife and banknote, and read the words on it.

After listening to the leader's words, keii dingxiong suddenly showed a layer of cold sweat, staggered back to the fence and said in horror: "so he's still alive! I knew... He... He... He must... Still live in the world!"

The crowd was confused. When they were about to ask questions, an explosion suddenly occurred at the stern of the ship, causing the passenger ship to fall into short-term chaos.

"The explosion was at the stern. Let's go and have a look."

When they arrived at the stern, they found that the box containing the emergency life ladder was burning, and there seemed to be a human object in it.

"There's a man in the fire!"

After Pingci's exclamation, Bai yanzhenyu and Maori xiaowulang found fire-fighting equipment and soon put out the fire.

Team leader shazaki squatted down, looked at the charred body inside, hammered it down to the ground, and said reluctantly, "Damn, it's all charred. Now there's no way to know the correct time of death and the real identity of the charred body."

Maori xiaowulang nodded and guessed, "yes, maybe the body in front of him is Dacai San who disappeared from the ship."

Team leader shazaki was stunned when he heard the speech, then shook his head and said, "no, everything can't be determined until it has been found out in detail."

"Can that person be Mr. Xijiang?"

Baiyan Zhenyu stepped forward, pointed to the wrist of the body and warned, "look at the watch he was wearing. I remember when he was watching the time at cards, he was wearing the watch made of gold."

"After what you said..."

Team leader makasaki looked at the body carefully again, touched his chin and said, "although the body was burned hard to identify, this sweater is really like the one he was wearing."

"I remember this pair of trousers, too." Maori Kogoro nodded.

"But it's really funny."

Ji Beizhu chuckled, pointed to the corpse in the puzzled eyes of the people and said, "look at his posture. He specially bent his arm to keep up with his half body, as if he wanted to show us his gold watch."

"This is called thermal stiffness. When a corpse encounters fire, skeletal muscles will contract under the action of heat, which will lead to fever and stiffness."

Bai Yan Zhenyu shook his head and explained, "the muscles after bending hands and feet are much stronger than those stretched out, so the joints will all show a bending state, which is a bit similar to the appearance of a boxer. In other words, the corpses burned by fire will naturally show this appearance."

"Oh, that's right..." after hearing Bai Yan Zhenyu's explanation, Ji Beizhu showed a sudden realization.

Baiyan Zhenyu went to the body and squatted down. He looked carefully at the watch on the wrist of the body and said suspiciously, "uncle, I think there seems to be a problem with the strap of the watch."

"Watch strap?" Maori xiaowulang came over to look at the watch strap and asked, "is there anything wrong with the watch strap?"

Before Bai yanzhenyu answered, the clothing department that also found the doubt replied first: "the strap of the watch is too loose."

"What's the matter?"

Maori Kogoro looked a little indifferent. Pointing to a small gasoline barrel not far away, he reasoned: "it must be that jar that rolled near the body, and then exploded because of the leakage of gasoline inside. It's also normal for the watch strap to be blown loose."

"I think so," team leader makazaki agreed with Maori Kogoro's point of view and echoed: "the plastic cloth originally covered on the box should have been blown up at that time."

"Plastic cloth?" Bai yanzhenyu looked around suspiciously and didn't find any plastic cloth.

"Yes."

"As like as two peas of a plastic cloth, ten meters away," Maori said, "I had a plastic sheet covered with plastic cloth before I came to the group leader to find three."

While looking for clues in the ashes, Bai yanzhenyu asked, "uncle, have you checked?"

"The plastic cloth was fastened from the outside, so we didn't check it."

Maori Kogoro shook his head and replied, "but Mr. crab Jiang would never be in this box at that time, because Mr. crab Jiang was still there when I returned to the entertainment room."

"So..." Bai Yanzhen nodded clearly. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and found something wrong.
