"Have you heard of the Titanic incident?"
"Its hull was breached by an iceberg, causing the cabins to flood extensively, leading to the ship tilting. The entire process took two hours and forty minutes, ultimately resulting in over 1500 deaths!"
"However, modern cruise ships usually have multiple watertight compartments. Closing these compartments can prevent seawater from spreading to other cabins, slowing down the ship's sinking speed."
"..."
In the lounge area, Baishi Hui found an old sailor and learned about shipwrecks.
Talking about shipwrecks during a voyage is a very unlucky thing, and the old sailor originally didn't want to talk about it.
But there was no way around it, the amount given was simply too much, so he broke this unwritten rule.
"So that's how it is," Baishi Hui said thoughtfully.
He was very surprised, he didn't expect that even after nearly three hours, it could still cause thousands of deaths!
It seems he needs to be a little careful when detonating, trying to avoid making the explosion too severe.
Besides that, he also needs to arrange for more escape boats.
Fortunately, the cruise ship was chartered by the Hatamoto Group, and it wasn't fully loaded, so escaping won't be too difficult.
As Baishi Hui thought about this, the sailor asked curiously, "Why are you so curious about these things?"
"As a Detective, isn't it normal to be very interested in these things?" Baishi Hui said, taking a sip of coffee. He added, "In case a shipwreck incident occurs, I won't be running around like a headless fly."
"Although the probability of this is very low, we can't rule it out."
The sailor nodded understandingly, "So you're a Detective... No wonder you're asking these questions."
Immediately after, he gossiped, "What are you here to investigate? Feuds between wealthy families? Or extramarital affairs among the rich?"
Looking at the old sailor's "very interested" expression, Baishi Hui chuckled softly, "That... is confidential."
Just as the sailor was about to say something, he noticed someone approaching. He immediately stood up and said, "Miss Hatamoto, Mr. Hatamoto!"
Baishi Hui turned around and saw that it was Natsue and Xiao Wu who had come over.
The two of them greeted the sailor, and then Natsue thanked him, "Mr. Yamada, thank you so much for saving Xiao Wu's life last night!!"
The bride-to-be said this and bowed gratefully.
"It was a small matter, no need to be polite," Baishi Hui replied.
Natsue looked at Xiao Wu with eyes full of heartache and said, "How can this be considered a small matter? If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Xiao Wu would have had an accident."
"Yes... yes!" Xiao Wu said with a wry smile, "I originally thought nothing was wrong, but after returning, I felt a bit uncomfortable, so I went to see the ship's doctor."
"After the examination, the doctor said several bones were broken... but fortunately, it wasn't a big deal."
After hearing this, the sailor consciously left... He felt it was better for him not to listen to this part.
Only then did Baishi Hui understand why they repeatedly expressed their thanks to him.
If he hadn't jumped down, Xiao Wu probably wouldn't have been able to struggle for long and would have died.
After Natsue repeatedly expressed her gratitude, she and Xiao Wu finally left.
After Baishi Hui finished his coffee, he planned to get up and start installing the bombs.
But just then, a sarcastic voice came from nearby.
"Why did you save him?"
"Truly sticking your nose into other people's business!"
"If he had died, it would have saved us a lot of trouble!"
"..."
Baishi Hui turned his head and saw the Huang Mao Qiben Longnan and Qiben Xiang'er walking over.
They had overheard the recent conversation, and their faces were full of displeasure, complaining that he had saved Xiao Wu.
Clearly, they believed that if Xiao Wu died, they would be able to get more inheritance.
Baishi Hui looked at these two clowns and smiled, "There's nothing I can do, who told him to be Natsue's husband?"
"Once Natsue inherits the Hatamoto, he will be the President."
"If I want to have a better life in the future, of course I have to curry favor with him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two instantly changed.
"What did you say? Natsue will inherit the Hatamoto?"
"No one in our main family knows, how do you know?"
Looking at the unpleasant expressions of Qiben Longnan and Qiben Xiang'er, Baishi Hui was very satisfied and said, "Speaking of which, it was a coincidence. I accidentally overheard it while passing by the study."
"Otherwise, you can confront the old man from Hatamoto."
"See what his reaction is."
Facing these words, Qiben Longnan clenched his fists and cursed, "Bastard! That old man is too much, he's not even giving us a single penny? Akie is his granddaughter, after all!"
Qiben Xiang'er shook his head repeatedly and said, "I don't believe it, I'm his biological son!!"
"Mr. Xiang'er, he dislikes you doing Western cuisine... especially since you're in debt," Baishi Hui added.
"You... how do you know?" Qiben Xiang'er's face turned pale, and he began to believe the other party's words somewhat.
"I already said I overheard it... If you don't believe me, what can I do?" Baishi Hui shook his head helplessly.
"Bas... Bastard! The old man actually... actually doesn't plan to give me any inheritance?" Qiben Xiang'er truly believed it this time. He left in a huff, intending to demand an explanation.
"Sigh! If I can't get the inheritance, what's the point of getting married?" Qiben Longnan left grumbling, his face full of annoyance!
After sending away these two buffoons, Baishi Hui left the lounge area and walked towards the elevator entrance.
Arriving at the elevator, he pressed the down button.
After a moment, there was a 'ding'.
The elevator door opened.
Baishi Hui was just about to enter when he found Ran inside the elevator.
He said in surprise, "Ran? You're awake."
"Yes! What a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here, Hui!" Ran said happily as she came out of the elevator.
"I also didn't expect to run into you here," Baishi Hui said, feeling a bit strange in his heart as he spoke.
She fought all night yesterday, plus the second operation this morning... With such high-intensity combat, how could she be up and about so quickly?
Also, Ran is awake, shouldn't she contact me using the walkie-talkie?
Thinking of this, his gaze towards Ran held a hint of suspicion.
Thus, Baishi Hui decided to test her and said, "Since you're awake, let's go!!"
"Hmm? Where are we going?" Ran asked doubtfully.
"A massage! The massage you were thinking about yesterday!" Baishi Hui said, pulling her hand and entering the elevator again.
"Oh oh~~~ That!" Ran said with a sudden realization, then hesitated, "But... going for a massage first thing in the morning, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate? How about going later?"
"Getting a massage in the morning is good, it activates the meridians and clears the pathways!" Baishi Hui immediately realized that this Ran was a fake!
He hadn't agreed with Ran to go for a massage at all!
So... this person is most likely Vermouth.
She disguised herself as Ran to approach me!
Well then, sorry about this.
A hint of a smile flashed in Baishi Hui's eyes, and he decided to give her something exciting!
