Alright. I sat down in the lounge of the cabin with Uncle Mu, while Luo Chengyu stayed by my side. However, he has not said a word since he arrived, merely listening quietly to the conversation between Uncle Mu and me
"Ziyou is here, have you noticed any suspicious individuals?" Uncle Mu took out paper and a pen, and began to take my statement
At this time, several students were already standing on the deck, all of whom should have been cleared of suspicion after the investigation by other officers.
There is always a certain feeling of sadness
As I watched Luo Chengyu disembark from the ship, I walked over to my father's side
"My father is over there, I will go ahead first," I said to Luo Chengyu as I turned around.
Luo Chengyu thought for a moment and said, "I entered the cabin, took the headphones from my seat, and then went out"
Generally speaking, if the victim is of the human race, then the Red Police will intervene to investigate; whereas if the victim belongs to the demon race, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Blue Police
I will go with you! I said decisively
The hour-long journey finally came to an end, the ship quickly docked, and the cabin door opened. However, the people inside were still unable to disembark; they had to cooperate with the Red Alert investigation and completely clear their suspicions before they could leave
Due to my father's connections, many of the Red Alert personnel know me, so when they see me wandering around, they merely smile at me and do not reprimand me. Generally, I do not cause any trouble; I just take a look and do not touch anything at the scene, which is why they allow me to roam freely.
"So, this classmate Luo, you did go into the cabin midway, did you see any strange people at that time?" Uncle Mu asked Luo Chengyu.
I do not even know that girl's name, it is truly not easy for a mixed-race individual to attend Qinglu University, yet she died on the ship, which is really a great pity
This area of defense falls under my father's jurisdiction. I wonder if my father has come. Just as I was thinking about this, I saw a middle-aged handsome man in a police uniform walk in
The moonlight is beautiful, yet my mood is not beautiful at all
I am very interested in solving cases; isn't this a crime scene right now? How could I possibly miss such an opportunity
He had just finished watching the surveillance footage when he looked up and saw me: "Xiao You? What are you doing here?"
No one understands better than I do how difficult the world of mixed-race individuals can be, and how much suffering must be endured to bloom into beautiful flowers
However, it was quite unexpected that shortly after the arrival of the Red Alert, the Blue Alert also came.
"Not at all, actually I was on the deck when I heard screams coming from the cabin. When I ran in to see what was happening, that girl was already lying on the ground." I told Uncle Mu everything that had happened since I boarded the ship.
I can only lie down in my clothes, yet I cannot fall asleep. What emerges in my mind is the wound on that girl's chest, her pale cheeks, and the noisy sounds in the cabin
Oh, I have been working overtime, so your brother hasn't had the chance to tell me yet," said Dad. "Are you going back first, or are you waiting for me to finish up before we go together? I estimate I will be busy here for a while longer.
After having a late-night snack, I took a hot bath and went to bed, as I need to get up early for school tomorrow
"Not yet," Uncle Mu said to me with an apologetic smile. "However, once the investigation is over, you will be able to leave. Since you are here, you might as well start asking questions."
That is my father's colleague, and I call him Uncle Mu
Did your brother not tell you? Before boarding the ship, I had a phone call with my brother, informing him that I would be returning home today. I forgot my information card at home, which is due tomorrow, so I need to make a trip back home today
The headphones that Luo Chengyu was holding had a very early serial number, located near the cabin door. In such a short time, it would have been impossible for someone as conspicuous as Luo Chengyu to walk to the last row and commit the crime under everyone's gaze, thus clearing him of suspicion. Moreover, I was not present at the crime scene at the time of the incident, making it entirely impossible for me to have had the opportunity to commit the crime
Isn't this Ziyou? What are you doing here? Uncle Mu noticed me first, he walked up to me and spoke to me with a smile, Your father is also here, talking to the captain on the deck
He smiled and said, "Alright, then I will see you at school next time, the person who is here to pick me up has also arrived."
He sat on a makeshift chair, with a simple table in front of him, on which a laptop was placed, playing surveillance footage.
I remember the announcement in the cabin, stating that the Red Alert had already been notified, which indicates that this case falls under the jurisdiction of the Red Alert. However, how could the Blue Alert come to join in the commotion?
This fellow is indeed the young master of a wealthy family, always being picked up and dropped off by dedicated personnel and vehicles
He handed the headphones he was holding to Uncle Mu. On this ship, each seat is equipped with a pair of headphones, which can be used to listen to broadcasts, songs, and similar content. Each pair of headphones has a seat number.
The suspicions against Luo Chengyu and me have been cleared. Uncle Mu personally led us to the cabin entrance, spoke to the police officer on duty, and then allowed us to exit the cabin
It was close to midnight when my father finally finished his work. During that time, my brother called me to ask when I would be returning. I told him that I would be going back with our father, and then he hung up the phone to prepare for a late-night snack
I stood on the deck and looked around, finally spotting my father's figure near the railing
Only in cases involving mixed-race individuals will both the Red Alert and Blue Alert be simultaneously involved
This situation generally occurs only under one possibility, which is that the victim is of mixed race
Neither the murderer nor the murder weapon left any trace at all
When my father and I arrived home, it was nearly twelve o'clock. My older brother was sitting on the sofa reading a book. His school is not far from home, and he does not live on campus. Unlike me, my brother is a hundred percent human, with black hair and black eyes, handsome in appearance, and wearing a pair of glasses, which makes him look particularly reliable. When I was still in middle school, many girls wrote love letters to my brother. There was even a girl from the demon clan who fell in love with him, but unfortunately, my brother was completely oblivious and rejected them all.
I followed the direction of his gaze and indeed saw a black stretch Lincoln parked at the dock, with a man in a black suit standing beside the car, respectfully looking this way
In this world where humans and demons coexist, both the Red Police and the Blue Police also exist. The Red Police are composed of humans, while the Blue Police are made up of demons. Although they are both police forces, the relationship between the Red Police and the Blue Police is not good, and there are often minor conflicts between them
Today, this case is quite strange. In the brightly lit cabin, with no power outage and under the watchful eyes of many, a young woman was murdered in public. When the police questioned the witnesses, it turned out that no one in the cabin had a motive or opportunity to commit the crime. Furthermore, at the time of the incident, the surveillance footage at the cabin entrance showed that, apart from Luo Chengyu, no one else entered or exited.
Hello, Uncle Mu, something happened. I forgot to bring it, so I need to go back for a trip. I explained a bit, "By the way, can I go out?"
