The departure of the tattooed men was as inexplicable as their arrival.
Director Zhang's handkerchief for wiping away the cold sweat changed three times, and before the last tattooed man was far away, he couldn't wait to invite the guests on board.
Goodness, this Li Si don't give me any more screw ups.
The guests were generally in a good mood, except for Liu Jinsheng and Shuhua.
The former, because his precious hidden wine had been shattered, kept breaking into pieces to catch the murderer. The latter, on the other hand, had a taut face, not knowing what he was thinking.
The ship was called the [Minch], and it was equipped with an experienced old captain, two maintenance staff, and a cook.
The four stood at the bow of the ship to greet the variety show team, all with stiff expressions on their faces.
It couldn't be blamed on them. After all, a dozen or so tattooed strong men carrying suitcases, throwing them onto the boat and walking away, not saying a word no matter what they asked, the scene was too creepy.
As soon as Director Zhang boarded the ship, the old captain gave him a fierce wink. Before the shooting started, he pulled Director Zhang into a corner, "What was that all about?"
"What happened?" Director Zhang began to play charred.
The old captain was furious: "Don't hoodwink me, do you programme crews still ask the triads to help with filming?"
Director Zhang didn't want to talk more about this. The more people knew that he put social figures into the crew, the worse it would be for him.
Finding a few random reasons to burn the old captain, Director Zhang hurriedly took off.
The old captain looked suspicious behind him.
He had travelled around for many years and had long practiced his ability to read people. Those tattooed men are sleazy, full of tendons, it is impossible to be pretended by the staff.
But Director Zhang did not want to talk more, and the old captain did not ask more questions.
Back on deck, the old captain asked the star to lean towards him and talked about precautions.
What the ship should be careful when driving. What kitchen try not to use open fire. What engine room do not go in to avoid burns ...
The old captain sighed inwardly as he spoke.
He could tell that these handsome men and women seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact, each one of them was distracted, and could stand here just to give face to the programme team.
Except for one young actor.
The old captain had locked eyes with him several times, and that young man was listening to the old captain with full attention. Sometimes he even nodded thoughtfully, and it was clear at first glance that he was listening.
The old captain could not help but feel gratified, and at the end of his speech, he said, "Does anyone have any more questions?"
As expected, the young actor raised his hand.
I think his name was Li Si, the old captain remembered.
"If the ship catches fire, how should we escape?" Li Si asked.
"Good question, although the Minch has a smaller displacement, it is still at risk of fire. In the event of a fire, I suggest you flee in these directions ..."
Li Si raised his hand again.
"Go ahead." The old captain was pleased with him.
"When we boarded, I noticed that this ship uses external fuel tanks that can be simply detonated through the exhaust. May I ask what we should do then?"
Li Si's eyes lit up, clearly concerned about the question.
The old captain opened his mouth and suddenly lapsed into silence.
Of course he knew that external fuel tanks were easy to detonate, the question was, how did Li Si know this?
It wasn't proper knowledge, and the books wouldn't tell you exactly how to do it...because it was too simple, so simple that it could be easily done by an untrained layman.
That kind of knowledge couldn't be made available to the general public.
It took a while before the old captain said dryly, "We don't usually consider that scenario."
Li Si looked a little disappointed. The old captain was afraid that he would ask any more damn questions, so he hurriedly ended the questioning session and moved on to the next activity: a tour of the ship's cabin.
The [Minch] was a refitted yacht that claimed to have all the essentials.
In addition to the galley and lobby, which are used to run the restaurant, the ship is also equipped with more than a dozen bedrooms and a fully functional cold storage.
The old captain pulled open the door of the cold storage, which was empty at the moment, no ingredients had been purchased yet.
In order to facilitate the visit, the temperature of the cold storage is adjusted to four degrees above zero. Several actresses touched the east and looked at the right, then were frozen with a shriek and hurriedly fled out.
Shuhua inclined his head and found Li Si standing in front of a nameplate that was in curved German.
"You know German?" She asked as she stepped closer.
Li Si shook his head and said he didn't, but he knew the manufacturer of this cooler.
This German factory produced cold storage that was not only of high quality, but also effective in removing odours, making it a really good choice for disposing of corpses.
After saying this, Li Si immediately slapped himself and flew away.
Shu Hua watched his back from where he was and gently exhaled a breath of cold air.
This guy really has a problem, Shu Hua thought in his heart.
The earliest I knew of Li Si's existence was from Song Qi, the daredevil within the group.
That stupid girl was obviously in love and she didn't even know it. Every time they took a break from practicing dance, they had to tell them how Li Si was so and so ...
Especially the one about subduing the thugs, Shuhua's ears were getting calloused from hearing it.
Although Song Qi is reckless and gluttonous, likes to play games, is lazy and will never wake up without being called every time she sleeps.
But she is Shu Hua's good friend, Shu Hua will not let her be cheated by any wild man.
So she volunteered to participate in this variety show with the purpose of seeing what kind of person Li Si really is.
As far as ...
Shuhua suddenly covered her face and muttered, "This guy wouldn't be a wanted man, right?"
She has always believed that "seeing is believing" and "only analysis can lead to conclusions".
But this is too weird! Is there something wrong with my brain and eyes?
Not to mention Shuhua who was in a state of confusion, after visiting the cold storage, the filming basically had to start.
The guests have more or less seen the previous seasons of Typical Chinese Restaurant and know what they have to do.
The chef on board cleared out a table and put paper and pens on the table. This chef's name was Zeng, and he was specially hired by the show.
"Let's draw up the menu first." Chef Zeng proposed.
Liu Jinsheng agreed, but a male actor named Huang Ming laughed, "There's no rush, I suggest we introduce ourselves first to get to know each other better."
Shu Hua watched with cold eyes, she immediately understood that Huang Ming wanted to overshadow Liu Jinsheng.
In terms of status in the film and television industry, this Huang Ming was indeed not simple. Although he wasn't a film star, he had won a lot of various awards.
But did he really want to overpower the popular Liu Jinsheng?
As expected, before Liu Jinsheng spoke, there were stars who immediately opposed Huang Ming's opinion.
Amidst Huang Ming's argument of "don't want you to think, I want me to think", Shuhua quietly stepped back and left the front hall.
She wanted to find a place to be quiet, so she walked around the ship and unknowingly made her way to the deck.
She was surprised to find that Li Si was here too.
Li Si's suitcase was half open, and it was full of all kinds of fishing gear. He hugged his fishing rod and sat quietly on the ground, the atmosphere serene and relaxed.
The luggage was full of such things, no wonder he wasn't afraid of falling.
Shuhua couldn't help but smile for a moment, then realised something and hurriedly set her face.
She slowly walked over to Li Si, who didn't look back, "I'm fishing."
He saw me coming?
Shuhua thought darkly, not answering Li Si's words.
There was a fish bucket beside Li Si, which was empty.
Suddenly water splashed. A fish was caught, and Li Si grabbed it, "Good luck."
He pulled out a small knife and prepared to clean up the fish on the spot.
As Shu Hua looked on, his eyes suddenly widened. How do the eyes of that dead fish look familiar, wait, that's not ...
Plop.
The knife sliced through the belly of the fish, the fish desperately shook a few times, and then did not move.
Shu Hua's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and after a moment, she freaked out: ''What are you doing! This is a shad, a first class protected animal! You're breaking the law you know?"
