June 23rd.
Huang Ji and others happily spent thirteen days on the boat.
During the period, they mingled with all the boatmen in the bilge, and Huang Ji even carried out a professional repair, and no one doubted his identity at all.
Even the safety manager Zhao Wanshan came down once and saw Huang Ji, Lin Li, and Lao Wang talking and laughing with Tao Jun and other crew members working together, so he thought he was a new boatman.
Later, when Huang Ji and Manager Zhao ran into each other on the upper floors, Manager Zhao also introduced him to the first mate, the captain and others.
Because Huang Ji is too talkative, he can always talk about the things that others are most interested in, and he is like a fish in water on the boat.
So he soon became very familiar with almost all the crew members of the cruise ship.
During a dinner party, Huang Ji accidentally mentioned that there were thieves on board.
Zhao Wanshan immediately said: "I know that several tourists have complained, but there is no clue at all. Every time a crime is committed, either the other party has covered his face, or the monitoring has been blocked."
Huang Ji said casually: "Oh? So where the monitoring is covered, it will be stolen?"
"That's what I said, but we can't send people to watch all the surveillance 24 hours a day, right? Even if we find it, we can only identify a certain area, and we can't pinpoint which room was stolen. The thief is very familiar with the terrain. We use I used the method of sitting on the sidelines and waiting for the rabbit, but I still haven't caught anyone." Zhao Wanshan said.
Huang Ji said, "Is that so? Is there any rule about being stolen?"
"Rules?" Zhao Wanshan asked someone to bring the tourists' alarm list, all of which were the names and rooms of the tourists who had been stolen.
Huang Ji glanced at it and said, "Why is there no third and tenth floors?"
"Yeah..." Zhao Wanshan thought about it.
At this time, Ms. Chen said: "The third floor is all economy rooms. Maybe the thief thinks there is nothing to steal. The tenth floor is a special suite reserved for six shareholders. This time only one person lives on it, and it is our big room." Shareholders, he brought bodyguards, thieves would not dare to think about it."
Huang Ji said: "The thief must have bought a ticket to board the boat. Do you think he will buy a luxury suite?"
Everyone pondered, thieves would definitely not buy luxury suites, otherwise what would they do if they didn't steal much and lost money instead? So the thief must have bought a cheap economy suite.
"That guy must live on the third floor!" Zhao Wanshan said angrily.
"But there are too many rooms on the third floor, and we can't just search tourists' rooms." Ms. Chen frowned.
There are 500 suites on the third floor, and more than 1,000 people live there. It is impossible to keep an eye on everyone's whereabouts.
However, Huang Ji said: "But there is only one person living on the tenth floor. I will arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow. I think it is better to keep an eye on it for the next 20 hours. If the property of the major shareholder is damaged, I am afraid that the insurance company will not pay attention." Can't you afford it?"
Everyone boards the ship, and the ticket price includes insurance premiums, so if tourists are stolen, the operator of the cruise ship will pay part of it, and the insurance company will pay part of it.
This makes tourists not have a long memory after being stolen, and increase their vigilance, so that pineapple rolls are a habit of stealing, and they almost use the cruise ship as a base, and come to withdraw money at every turn.
And because the insurance company pays part of the compensation, and the cruise ship operator is making huge profits, it doesn't matter if they pay two to three hundred thousand yuan. In order not to disturb the people and the experience of tourists, they will not launch particularly severe searches.
Unless there is a clue, or the current one is caught, the cruise ship's ship police have nothing to do if they don't know who stole it.
"On the tenth floor, thieves can't go up. To enter the tenth floor, you need to go through a security door..." First Officer Chen said.
Zhao Wanshan listened to Huang Ji's proposal, and said, "If a thief gets the bodyguard's key card, he can pass through the gate. I'd better arrange someone to watch over it 24 hours a day."
As far as Huang Ji was concerned, everyone did not continue this topic.
After returning that night, Huang Ji was sewing a set of uniforms in the cabin, and it was coming to an end.
"Awesome, you can use such a crude tool to sew the uniforms of England customs officers?" Old Wang said with emotion.
He witnessed with his own eyes that Huang Ji asked the crew for several sets of sailor uniforms, scissors, and needlework, and then went to tourists to buy some suits.
Then it took two days to sew a set of customs uniforms, whether it is hats, clothes, pants, gloves, are full of details.
Everyone is not surprised by this, after all, this is a man who can hand-paint fingerprints from memory.
"What's the uniform? It's not once or twice that the cruise ship comes to London. I'm familiar with the customs. I chatted happily with the captain. I also asked who will be inspected tomorrow." Huang Ji said.
"I understand, what about the two of us?" Old Wang said.
Huang Ji said: "Tomorrow morning, you two will go to the ninth floor to stay. Here! Here are your passports and visas."
Lao Wang took it over and saw that there were two sets of stranger's IDs.
"Pretending to be, the thief I found got it. Tomorrow at 9:30, you stand at the door of the suite on the ninth floor near door b, holding your ID and pretending to chat there... After that..." Huang Ji told them the plan listen.
The two understood each other, and Lao Wang asked: "It feels feasible, but would the thief really steal at that time and be caught just now? Check the customs officers on the ninth floor, and will they really go up to help?"
"That thief is extremely greedy, he will definitely go to the tenth floor." Huang Ji said with a smile: "As for the customs officer, I will also ask him to help."
…
Early the next morning, Huang Ji first met the pineapple roll.
"What are you going to use to stun Zhang Rui?" Pineapple Roll asked.
Huang Ji patted the bag on his waist, revealing a big wrench.
The pineapple roll made a heck, and the customs officers could already be seen on board from upstairs, so they didn't even bother to ask how this guy got out.
At 9:40, he went to steal on time, while Zhang Rui chatted with people on the first floor deck.
It was almost ten o'clock before Zhang Rui would come back, and if he was knocked out at this time, even if Huang Ji was caught and confessed to him, he would have already disembarked.
Even if he wasn't caught, the pineapple roll would get him caught, after all, he didn't intend to share money with this reckless man.
"Anyway, I'll wash my hands after finishing this vote." Pineapple Roll thought to himself.
"Then you stay here and watch, we will act separately." Seeing that the customs officers had already gone upstairs, Pineapple Roll said, and went downstairs to deal with the inspection first.
Huang Ji smiled and separated from him, and changed clothes on a public balcony.
After that, he just wandered around the floors pretendingly.
Every time he was about to meet a real customs officer, he would turn around half a second earlier.
This is a kind of perfect stuck point, all customs officers see him, it is just a back view. Because he was wearing a uniform, everyone thought he was his colleague.
It can be said that if only Huang Ji himself, he has plenty of ways to avoid inspection.
However, Pharaoh and Lin Li didn't have the ability.
The two of them stood on the ninth floor in front of the suite near door b, chatting with their IDs in their hands.
From a long distance, I saw Gate A more than ten meters away. I walked into an English customs officer and knocked on the door one by one in order to check.
The crew has already informed all the tourists about this kind of thing, so the tourists have already prepared their passports and visas, and they will take them out as soon as they knock on the door. The progress is very fast.
The young customs officer caught a glimpse of Old Wang and Lin Li standing not far away chatting, and among them Old Wang said to himself: "Hi!"
The young customs officer glanced at the documents in their hands, raised his hand with a smile, responded, and continued to check in order.
There were a total of forty rooms on the ninth floor. When he was halfway through, there was a sudden commotion upstairs.
"Stop! Don't run!"
That was Zhao Wanshan, who led the people to wait for the pineapple roll.
As the security manager, he was reminded by Huang Ji and decided to send someone to watch the surveillance, while he took the two of them to stay in the vacant room opposite Zhang Rui for one night.
The super luxurious suite on the tenth floor can be described as the ultimate enjoyment, and this can be regarded as indirect self-seeking by him.
I thought nothing would happen, but the monitoring department reported that the camera on the tenth floor was blocked.
He was shocked, and stared through the cat's eyes. Sure enough, he saw the pineapple roll soon after, and broke open the door lock to enter Zhang Rui's room.
"Fuck!" When Pineapple Roll came out of the room, the opposite door suddenly opened, and Zhao Wanshan rushed out with the three of them.
This almost didn't scare the pineapple roll to death!
"Finally I caught you!" Zhao Wanshan immediately took out a stick and beat him.
Pineapple Roll knew that he couldn’t be caught. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask. As long as he could get rid of these people and hide in his room, he would be fine, and he could disembark in a few minutes!
So he resisted extremely fiercely, rushed away from the crew like a trapped animal, and ran downstairs.
At the same time, the customs officer on the ninth floor heard the movement.
He didn't intend to intervene, but at this moment, a pure London accent came from nowhere: "James! Stop him! Thief! On the stairs...Jimmy!"
The young customs officer's name is James Maddis, and only those who are familiar with him will call him Jimmy, which is his nickname and the abbreviation of his name.
Hearing the shout, Jimmy immediately ran out of the corridor, and saw a masked thief rushing down the stairs from the tenth floor.
"Hey!" Jimmy bravely rushed up and grabbed the thief's arm.
The thief pulled with all his strength and ran down desperately. The two rushed downstairs entangled all the way.
At the same time, Huang Ji was wearing a uniform and knocked on the door of the unchecked tourist room on the ninth floor.
"Hi, my name is Billy, England Customs..."
The tourists cooperated very well and took out the certificates they had prepared.
After being checked, they put the documents into the packed suitcases.
It took only a few minutes for Huang Ji to check all the remaining rooms, and the ship was about to dock at the port.
At door b on the ninth floor, Lao Wang looked at Huang Ji and exclaimed, "After calling out his name, he actually went to help others."
Huang Ji said with a smile: "Sometimes people who stand by and watch are not unwilling to help, but lack motivation. If there are many people around, people will feel in their hearts 'others will help, and I don't need it'."
"If everyone thinks this way, they will end up watching."
"At this time, if you want to ask others for help, don't say 'who will help', but directly call the name."
"When a person is named, he has to help if he doesn't want to. Unless he is a completely selfish person, he will help if he can."
"What's more, there are not many people on this ship who know his name. He thinks that his colleagues are calling him for help. How could he not go?"
The running pineapple roll, because the crew was chasing after him, no matter how desperately he ran, it was useless. On the third floor, he was surrounded by more than a dozen crew members and was easily captured.
Jimmy clapped his hands. Seeing that it was getting late, many of his colleagues had finished checking. Remembering that he hadn't finished checking on the ninth floor, he hurried up.
When he walked in from door a on the ninth floor, he saw a man in uniform, who seemed to be his colleague, walked out from door b and hurried downstairs.
Jimmy is a little weird, so who is it
But he didn't think much, time was running out, and he hurried to check the remaining tourists.
However, when he knocked on the door, the tourists said: "Why, didn't you check it just now? I put away my passport."
Jimmy was a bit confused, he couldn't understand Chinese, but fortunately, someone among the tourists could understand English and explained it to him.
"Have you checked?" Jimmy frowned. Whoever checks where is assigned, how can it overlap
However, after asking more than a dozen tourists in a row, they all said that they had been checked. The tourists talked in a hurry, and Lao Wang and Lin Li mixed in the crowd, and also booed.
Among them, Lin Li said in English: "His name is Billy. He saw that you were going to catch a thief, so he inspected your area as well. I even talked to him. He said that you would help him with his shift, and this time he will also inspect for you." It's over."
Jimmy suddenly realized that it was Billy the guy.
Billy is a newcomer, and he doesn't know many people. Last time, he had something to do, and he was the only one who was willing to help him.
It seems that he checked all the pieces for himself. After thinking about it, it's getting late. Anyway, if someone wants to get off the boat to play in the city, he will have to check it once he leaves the pier.
"Sorry to bother you!" Jimmy said and left in a hurry.
As he approached the ground floor, he happened to see Billy assembled on the deck.
He looked at Billy and thought: This kid is so fast.
Billy happened to look over at this moment, and the two looked at each other.
Billy just stared at him inadvertently, meaning nothing.
But because of his preconceived ideas, Jimmy thought the other party's eyes meant: brother, why don't you come down soon? I checked everything for you!
In this regard, Jimmy couldn't help but smiled knowingly, and gave him a look: 'Thank you! '
Billy was tens of meters away from him, and when he saw him smiling, he naturally smiled back.
Jimmy leisurely came to the deck, the two looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing in front of the leader.
When they were all together, they boarded their boat.
Naturally, Jimmy would not deliberately ask about some small things, but he felt very sorry that he didn't call this newcomer at the previous colleagues' gatherings.
Then he asked: "Tonight, lemon bar, do you want to go?"
"Go. Jimmy, you were very fierce when you caught the thief just now!" Billy was a newcomer, and his colleagues invited him out to play, so it was impossible not to go.
"Of course! You're pretty clever, too."
"It's a pity that I'm far away, otherwise I must have gone up and arrested him."
From the beginning to the end, the two were not on the same channel.
A few minutes later, the ship docked, and some people didn't bother to disembark at all, they just wanted to play on the cruise ship.
Some tourists want to visit London, so they disembark one after another.
Zhao Wanshan sent someone to hold the pineapple roll and guard at the disembarkation place, because the pineapple roll did not say that he had accomplices.
"Hi, Manager Zhao!" The three of Huang Ji came over dignifiedly and greeted Zhao Wanshan.
Zhao Wanshan smiled and said, "Xiaohua, why don't you get off the boat and play?"
"Yeah, hey, who is this?" Huang Ji pointed at the pineapple roll.
Zhao Wanshan smiled and said, "I finally caught the thief."
"It's amazing, then I'll go down first!" Huang Ji waved and walked away.
Throughout the whole process, Pineapple Roll didn't recognize him. No matter in terms of voice or appearance, when Huang Ji came into contact with him, they were different from now.
What's more, in his eyes, Huang Ji is also a thief, how can he chat and laugh with the security manager
"Where are your accomplices?" Zhao Wanshan said angrily when he saw that no tourists had disembarked.
The pineapple roll said in a daze, "There really is. If you check again, he must be a tourist too!"
"No, I also showed you the list of tourists. There is no such person. Don't bother. You are the only thief on board. All the property lost by the owner was found in your room. Why are you arguing!"
The owner corresponds to the thief, and all the things lost by the owner on the boat are in the pineapple roll.
Everything was found and returned to the owner. The boat police didn't care whether there was another accomplice.
I can't figure out the pineapple roll, why is the big living person gone? Why can't I find it in the tourist list
You know, even he himself, as a professional thief, has to buy a ticket and apply for a visa every time in order to steal something on a cruise ship, spending more than 10,000 "capital".
Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that there would be someone who didn't even have a ticket, would get on the boat swaggeringly, and get off the boat swaggeringly...
After getting off the boat, Huang Ji accurately found an unattended small door, went through the window twice, led Lao Wang and Lin Li around, and bypassed the inspection at the pier.
Compared with the cruise ship, the pier area is huge and the trails are criss-crossed, so the guards are not so strict.
Huang Ji is so familiar with this place, it's almost like his own home.
Easily found the loophole and left the dock.
Walking on the streets of East London, Pharaoh was extremely excited, this is a perfect smuggling.
Throughout the whole process, they did not leave any records.
"Next, I will arrange it!" Lao Wang laughed.
Huang Ji said: "All of you are going to London. For safety, you must be ready?"
"Of course, in order to inform comrades all over the world and reunite everyone this time, that person specially announced in May that he will hold a comeback concert in London." Old Wang stared at a huge promotional poster in the distance .
"Who is it?" Lin Li looked over and was taken aback when he saw the person on the poster.
Old Wang said mysteriously: "Michael Jackson!"
