Chapter 448 - Chapter 448 Case Closed (2/2)

Chen Yu threw Le Ming aside and casually moved a chair to sit down.

“Let me guess, after you seven opened the ruins, you must have found a sizable treasure, but there was a disagreement over how to distribute it! Then you planned to swallow the treasure whole, using the curse of the seven Crystal Balls to kill the remaining six.”

Le Ming’s breathing instantly became hurried, he hadn’t expected Chen Yu to see right through him.

Because there had been signal interference on the ship earlier, Chen Yu had been unable to scan the other person’s brain information and had to rely on reasoning.

After some analysis, he had confirmed the guy’s modus operandi and now, being able to scan his brain information from close range, he knew everything.

Le Ming’s body suddenly went limp and collapsed in a corner.

The three people beside him wobbled to their feet, standing close to the captain.

Fear was written all over their faces, they never dreamed Le Ming would be capable of murder.

The seven of them had grown up together as playmates, always sticking together in everything. When they discovered the ruins, none of the seven told anyone else, and as explorers, they found the entrance to the ruins.

When they found the treasure, none of the seven had any disputes, they had all agreed on the distribution of the treasure beforehand.

But unexpectedly, Le Ming had betrayed them.

“That’s right, I did all of this!” Le Ming suddenly became frantic: “I discovered these ruins, all the preparatory work was mine to do. I deserved a larger share, but you all ignored me, giving me the least.”

The three stood there sighing heavily, not knowing what to say.

In their eyes, Le Ming had always been an honest person, never arguing over the treasure, which is why they habitually gave him a smaller share.

Little did they know how dark his heart really was.

Chen Yu adjusted his breathing a little and gradually stood up.

Now that the case was solved, there was no need for him to stay, so he simply explained the details to the captain and left on his own.

The captain and the security chief looked on in admiration, they hadn’t expected such a difficult case to be cracked so easily.

The ship’s loudspeaker once again blared the captain’s voice, as he clearly recounted the whole process of the case.

The previously chaotic situation was instantly brought under control.

Martin Nolan was already waiting in the middle of the hall.

When Chen Yu came out, he immediately greeted him.

“Mr. Chen, are you alright?”

Chen Yu waved him off: “I’m fine. You must have been waiting here specially for me, is there something you need?”

Martin Nolan seemed a bit embarrassed, reaching into his pocket and handing Chen Yu a small box.

“I found this in a corner of the ship, it seems to be part of the treasure that seven people had found.”

Chen Yu’s eyes immediately widened, he hurriedly opened the small box, and saw a colorful zircon lying quietly inside!

This kind of thing is common nowadays, easily synthesized with zirconium dioxide.

Yet even so, it’s impossible to replicate the brilliant colors of natural zircon.

The zircon before him emitted a spectrum of seven colors even under the light, let alone in the dark.

No matter where it was placed, it was an unparalleled treasure.

“Where was this found?” Chen Yu suddenly became excited.

Martin Nolan glanced around and then, pulling Chen Yu, they maneuvered the wheelchair towards a room.
