Hai Dafu's speech was cut off by a sudden panic-stricken voice, "Captain, it's terrible, Chen Jinsui is dead! Come take a look quickly!"

At this point, everyone present felt anxious and uneasy, with expressions of panic, gloom, and trepidation varying from one to another.

Hai Dafu stood up and asked the crowd, "Did Chen Jinsui show any abnormalities before he died?"
