Ismay had anticipated and prepared for the chaos, and with a calm smile, he began to methodically reassure him:

“Like many so-called predictions, Mr. Liu’s prediction does not stand up to scientific analysis.”

“At present, the Titanic is located more than 300 nautical miles southeast of Newfoundland, 42 degrees north latitude, 50 degrees west longitude, about 3800 nautical miles from Southampton, about 3000 nautical miles from New York, in April, this sea will have a southward cold current with ice floes, anyone who understands this ocean common sense, and then estimates the voyage of the Titanic, can speculate that the ship sailed into the cold current today. In cold currents, iceberg warnings are received, and it is normal for temperatures to plummet and sea water to freeze. ”

Speaking of this, Ismay laughed and said humorously: “If this is also a prophecy, each of us is a prophet.” ”

The chief picket immediately added on the side: “This Mr. Liu, who came from the East, has wandered across the sea to Europe, and now he has traveled to the United States and traveled to the ocean many times, and he certainly has a certain maritime common sense. ”

“It makes sense, maybe that’s it.” Most of the men, who had not believed in the prophecy of an inferior person, relaxed.

But the ladies were still suspicious, and the countess came forward and asked: “Didn’t Mr. Willow prepare the cable before Miss Ruth was in distress, doesn’t it mean that his prediction is accurate?” ”

“Mr. Liu lied, the cable was not moved to the stern by him.” The chief picket ordered the guards to escort in two yellow men with blue noses and swollen faces, both with long black braids on the back of their heads, “It was done by the Qingguo people.” ”

“The Qing people did it…”

“Exactly.” The chief picket further explained, “In the last two days, we have searched for stowaways throughout the ship. In the dark corner of the stern, we zhua these two Qingguo people who escaped the ticket. After examination, the Qing people confessed that the cable was moved from the side of the lifeboat on the top deck to the stern and tied to the bottom of the flagpole to hang down the sea, and they thought of hanging themselves overboard through the cable to avoid checking the ticket on the way. In addition, we found two other Qingguo people who had evaded their tickets under the veil of the lifeboat, and the confessions of those two were the same as theirs. ”

Westerners generally discriminate against Chinese, and Zhua has nothing to do if they live and beat. In fact, the chief picket himself did not realize that after the two Chinese who still had pigtails after the fall of the Qing Dynasty were violently beaten, they had to make false confessions according to his wishes in order to avoid the pain of flesh and skin.

“But why did Mr. Liu lie?” Ruth didn’t believe it at all.

The countess followed and asked, “What reason does Mr. Liu have to predict that the Titanic will hit an iceberg?” ”

The chief picket explained the doubts about the cable appearing before Ruth was in distress, but some other things still didn’t make sense.

“Because Mr. Liu is a suspect who wants to sink the Titanic.” The picket chief said in a startling way, “His prediction that the Titanic hit the iceberg was his cunning.” ”

“What…”

The hall was shocked, without exception. Even well-cultivated gentlemen are not calm.

What a terrible and unimaginable crime to sink the Titanic and murder more than 2,000 people on board.

“I have long seen that he is not a good thing, but I never thought that he was vicious.” Carl was furious.

“No offense, but your conclusion is not a little hasty.” Ruth broke through her mother’s stopping gaze and wondered, “We should be allowed to know more.” ”

The Countess, Countess Ross, Madame Bulang and other ladies also nodded in agreement with Ruth.

If White Star wants to accuse Liu Bufan of intending to sink the Titanic, there must be enough evidence.

“Presumably the ladies heard the gunshots just now.” The chief picket was unhurried and made public the shocking case found in the small private cargo hold on the ground floor, which he had done at Ismay’s behest.

“Oh God…”

The chief picket’s case report was like a huge bomb exploding in the banquet hall, it was so sudden and shocking, the rich people in the entire hall were all stunned, and then the scene was boiling.

“We suspect that Mr. Liu is an accomplice of the two criminals, and his prediction that the Titanic hitting the iceberg is an important part of their criminal plan, which is a cunning method to deceive the world.”

Although it was doubtful, the chief picket was very affirmative in both expression and tone.

“What cunning means?”

Now, there are probably only a few ladies at the scene who believe that Liu Bufan, Ruth, the Countess, the Count of Ross, and the kind Madame Bulang.

“Because prophecy precedes them, when the crime succeeds, they and the employers behind them can transfer the vandalism to innocent icebergs and evade investigation to cover up their crimes.” The picket said loudly.

The rich people were in an uproar, and Karl was furious: “Don’t you hurry up and cuff that viper.” ”

Picket Chief Xiong Youchengzhu said: “Don’t worry, just before I came in, the guards had already set out to secretly search the third-class cabin. They will find Liu Bufan and ask him to go to a special place to explain the true purpose of clearly prophesied that Titanic hit the iceberg. ”

The “special place” is, of course, the interrogation room where violence is carried out, and the picket chief does not believe that under severe torture, Liu Bufan can not confess truthfully.

Ruth didn’t believe that Liu Bufan was a criminal at all, but she couldn’t justify Liu Bufan, and she was in a hurry.

The Countess and Countess of Ross could also only be anxious, and the case reported by the picket turned the situation completely upside down.

“I don’t believe the crime of White Star Company, and I must notify Mr. Liu immediately.” The Countess whispered to Countess Ross.

“I have a way…” Countess Ross whispered to the Countess.

The two noble ladies took the initiative to talk to Ruth’s mother, Ruth and Carl, with the intention of holding Ruth and Carl’s attention.

Ruth took advantage of this opportunity to leave her mother and Carl, got into the crowd, quickly walked out of the restaurant, and went straight to the third-class cabin to warn Liu Bufan.

The three beauties who believed in Liu Bufan had a common heart, and they achieved their goal very tacitly without words colluding.

Ruth walked out of the banquet hall and hurried all the way, remembering that Liu Bufan had told him that the room number was G60.

While most of the single men in the third-class passengers on the Titanic lived at the front of the ship, the G60 was located aft along with single women and family compartments with families.

When Ruth found the G60 cabin, the guards habitually searched the front of the ship.

“Miss Ruth, why are you here…”

“Distinguished Miss, the third class is not the place you should be.”

Liu Bufan found Ruth appear at the door, and several men in the cabin quickly got up to greet the beautiful noble lady and sit down.
