In response to this.
The first mate's face clearly flashed with panic, followed by a forced show of bravado:
"What do you want? Who exactly are you?"
"Just as my business card says, Kevin-Ed, a private detective from North Carolina."
Su Wen continued calmly.
"Three minutes before the murder was exposed, Austin-Flan entered the banquet hall through a surveillance blind spot.
According to analysis, he may have buried something beneath the third turquoise plant that could not be discovered by the high-seas police or the Order Keepers.
So, compared to the first person to discover the scene.
If the police investigate this matter.
First Mate Austin, your suspicion will naturally become the greatest.
However.
Very unfortunately.
Based on the evidence I obtained, your suspicion as the killer still remains uncertain."
Upon hearing of this highly confidential.
And possibly even more damaging illegal act than the murder itself.
Captain Adrian immediately called the security officer he trusted most:
"Paul, help me move the third turquoise plant in the banquet hall to my room. I want it now.
Remember.
Keep it quiet. Don't let those nosy invited reporters among the passengers, or any other distinguished guests, learn about this."
Ten minutes later.
The security officer secretly brought a box containing the plant into the room.
Under Adrian's arrangements.
The base of the plant ornament was completely dismantled.
A bag of glowing blue crystals wrapped in transparent flexible silicone was revealed.
The captain was no stranger to this item.
He said calmly:
"Border Dust: Lost Sea-03-Dreamscape."
"First Mate, can you explain exactly which Extraordinary organization with the 'Deep Sea' advancement sequence you contacted?
I think.
It probably has nothing to do with our Forest Keeper Sect."
Nelson did not interrupt.
He knew that without Adrian's permission, he could not possibly write this matter
