Chapter 243 The Empress Departs (13)

"Huh? Look at this!"

Wu Cuo jumped off a speedboat and shook the things in his hands towards Yan Ruyu and Qin Shouru.

"A walkie-talkie?" Yan Ruyu said happily: "I saw that some crew members of the Empress are also using this device, can they be tuned to their frequency?"

"Let me try."

Wu turned on the walkie-talkie by mistake, and there was a harsh creak at first.

He sat in a corner of the cabin, turned the knob on the intercom, and listened carefully, trying to discern useful information from the noise.

This is a delicate job. Qin Shouru looked at Wu Cuo nervously, but he held his temper and did not urge him.

Yan Ruyu squatted beside the tied first officer, and said in a deep voice, "If the Empress arrives in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong police board the ship to search for rescue, but you are still trapped here with us, what should we do?"

"Hehe, it's impossible. There are at least 48 hours before we arrive in Hong Kong. Anything can happen." While speaking, the first officer glanced at a certain place on the ceiling.

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course, they'll rescue me soon, and then you'll be finished." The first officer glanced at the ceiling again.

"From there?" Yan Ruyu pointed to the place he was looking at, "Let me just say, you are too calm, there is still a way.

Don't be surprised, I have handled cases on a fishing boat, although it is not one-tenth of the luxury of the Queen, but I am deeply impressed by the secret doors connecting everywhere. "

While talking, Yan Ruyu climbed up a stack of goods and found a secret door on the ceiling.

Apparently, there was direct access to the upper deck through the secret door.

"Beast! Do me a favor!" Yan Ruyu shouted.

"Here we come!" Qin Shouru was very happy that someone could command him, and the tedious waiting and unknown fate almost drove him crazy.

The two found iron rods and cables, and firmly fixed the secret door on the ceiling, and pushed goods, piled them under the secret door, and pushed the door to death.

Seeing the two of them busy at work, the first mate was almost remorseful. Who would have thought that the thin boy had such deep thoughts, and he could see the clue just by observing his subconscious eyes.

"I said, besides the three people who smuggled in this time, have you ever forced people to jump over the sea before?"

Seeing this kid coming to talk to him again, the first mate didn't look at him at all, and lowered his head aggrievedly, looking like a cheated little daughter-in-law.

"Why? Don't you dare to chat casually? Anyway, you committed a crime on the high seas, and the ship is not Chinese. The possibility of us being able to enforce the law on you is almost zero. What are you afraid of talking about?"

The first mate made up her mind not to answer, so Yan Ruyu shrugged and rummaged around boredly.

It's going to be a tug of war, hopefully with food and fresh water in the cabin.

Unfortunately, food and fresh water were not found, and bad news came from Wu Cuo.

"I can't find their frequency. They should be using an encrypted band." Wu Cuo said helplessly.

What followed was a long wait, Yan Ruyu tried to communicate and negotiate with the people outside the door, at least order some fresh water.But those outside seemed determined to endure them, and demands for negotiations went unanswered.

Soon, there was a sound from the ceiling. It was obvious that someone was trying to open the secret door from the outside, but it failed.

Yan Ruyu was overjoyed, and shouted at the secret door: "Grandson! Why don't you bring us food? When we get thirsty, we'll drink his blood! When we're hungry, we'll cut his flesh and eat it!"
If you are saved, let's see how he will deal with you in the future! "

The people outside the secret door cooed and spoke a foreign language that no one could understand, and soon there was no movement again.

"Grandma's!" Qin Shouru scolded, and said to Yan Ruyu in a low voice: "I don't know what these people said, don't give the first mate some code."

"That's good. As long as they want to save him, we have hope. The most fearful thing is that the first officer will become an abandoned child."

"Old Yan, come here!" In the corner, Wu Cuo's voice sounded a little excited.

Yan Ruyu hurried over, leaving Qin Shouru to guard the first mate—ever since Wu Cuo broke free from the rope binding with his bare hands, the three of them did not dare to be careless, and one person was always left to guard the first mate.

"Listen." Wu wrongly handed the walkie-talkie to Yan Ruyu.

It's still a creaking noise, but it's mixed with...

"This is... the knocking sound! A regular knocking sound!" Yan Ruyu was also excited, and he had already realized what it meant.

"Do you still remember the codes we played with back then?" Wu Cuo asked.

Cryptography is a very unpopular elective course in the Public Security University. After all, it is not a time of war. Who would use codes to transmit information?

For a while, Yan Ruyu was obsessed with decoding. He strongly urged Wu Cuo to take this course, and even took Wu Cuo's student ID to attend the audition.

For a period of time, both of them used the password to send text messages, like two psychopaths.

"Morse Code! Could it be Minghui?" Yan Ruyu asked in surprise, "It's so hard that she also took that course?"

Wu Cuo shrugged, "Maybe she is my fan girl? I followed the senior's course selection list. After all, I graduated with the No.1 grade in the professional course."

"Come on, decode it quickly, and you won't be in the mood to brag when you're thirsty enough to drink your urine."

"Damn! Old Yan, you are disgusting."

"be honest."

"How to decode without a code table?" Wu Cuo scratched his head.

"I come."

While carefully listening to the knocking sound, Yan Ruyu continued intermittently: "l...i...c...e...z...m...h...p...o...l...i...c... ...e...z...m...h...p..."

"I heard it!" Yan Ruyu said, stretching out a finger and writing on the ground: "It's a group of words that repeats constantly.

police, police.

zmh, the acronym for Zhang Minghui. "

"Fuck! There is no code table... how did you hear it?"

"It's not difficult. If it's Minghui, she just graduated from university, and she should still remember the set of code tables in the university textbooks. There is no replacement right now, so she can only use that."

"It's almost ten years? Do you remember?"

"I'm not like some people. I will return it to the teacher after I finish my studies. Will the teacher refund your tuition?...Come on, let's think about how to reply to the message first."

"I think we have to find out where we are first and report the location to her before she can try to rescue us."

"Rescue? Just her alone? I'm looking forward to it. There may be a huge net out there, maybe those people are trying to use us as bait to attract Minghui to take the bait."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment, pressed the call button on the walkie-talkie, and began to tap on the deck.

The letter combination he typed was:
safe, safe.

wc, the English acronym for Wu Cuo.

While typing, he also complained: "It's the first time I found out that your initials are quite confusing. If the password is intercepted, maybe people think we are looking for the toilet."
