From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 87 The Senior's Suffering The Senior Has Endured

This is so damn sweet.

Why is that old man Erich so lucky?

Seeing Ehrlich surrounded by his classmates, his colleagues' eyes shone with undisguised envy.

This is the kind of life a professor should live!

Looking at the students around me, what else can they do besides sneaking snacks outside the conference hall?

They're all academic gluttons!

Not only are their academic achievements inferior, but their interpersonal skills are also lacking.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Ye Xiao's senior brothers couldn't help but straighten their backs, their faces beaming with triumphant smiles.

"leaf."

When they returned to the dock, Erich got out of the car and suddenly called out to Ye Xiao.

"What's wrong, Professor?"

"I don't like this watch, you can keep it."

Erich casually slapped the Patek Philippe that Rhodes had just lost to him onto Ye Xiao's hand, then turned and boarded the ship.

Upon seeing this, Williams, who was following behind, turned green with rage.

If we weren't buddies, why would I give it to you?

The seniors have endured the hardships, so they should also enjoy the blessings!

Williams had been thrashing about in the sea, risking his life, and several times he almost hung himself on the hook.

After doing so much, did it all just benefit Ye Xiao?

never mind----

Thinking that he would soon graduate smoothly, Williams tried hard to control himself from thinking too much.

After all, it was Ye Xiao who came up with this idea; without him, Williams wouldn't have been able to graduate smoothly.

"No, this watch isn't smart at all."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao say this, the senior brothers couldn't hold back any longer.

"Ye, are you stupid? This is a Patek Philippe, costing over ten hundred thousand US dollars! Only fifty thousand are produced annually, and it includes more than ten complex functions such as perpetual calendar, monthly calendar, and leap year cycle!"

In 1962, Patek Philippe broke the world record for the timekeeping accuracy of mechanical watches at the Geneva Observatory Precision Timekeeping Competition, a record that remains unbroken to this day!

"No one truly owns a Patek Philippe. Do you know how much Professor Rhodes cherishes this watch?"

"so what?"

Ye Xiao shrugged: "So it can measure heart rate and count steps?"

Dude, what are you talking about?

"Ye, are you crazy? Do you think this thing is an Apple Watch?"

The senior students were heartbroken that Ye Xiao didn't recognize the value of a gem, feeling a sense of regret that a pearl had been hidden in the dust.

Knowing Ye Xiao's temperament, he might resell it after returning to Seattle.

Damn it, what a waste!

However, just when everyone was heartbroken, Ye Xiao made a surprising move.

"Senior brother, you can have this watch."

Ye Xiao suddenly handed the gold watch to Williams next to him.

"No, Ye?"

Williams was stunned, never expecting Ye Xiao to give him the watch.

"This thing is too outdated, I'm not used to it."

"I'll stick with my smartwatch."

Ye Xiao smiled, then walked forward.

Watching his retreating figure, the group of senior brothers stood frozen in place, still unable to react.

Goodness, was he faking it all just now?

But that's over ten thousand dollars!

Did you just casually give it away to someone else?

Even Williams was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

Williams felt a little guilty when he thought about how he had just been somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao, that young man, is quite something!

In order to transfer the watch to himself, he didn't hesitate to tarnish his own reputation.

Unbeknownst to them, Ye Xiao had already planned to give the watch to Williams.

After all, the friendship of a PhD is far more valuable than a few hundred thousand dollars.

Williams is very capable, but he lacks a bit of luck and emotional intelligence.

For such people, as long as they seize the right opportunity and make a small investment, they will surely reap a thousandfold return in the future.

I'm so smart.

As Ye Xiao thought this, he walked up the gangway toward the cabin.

However, just as they were about to reach the entrance, the queue suddenly came to a standstill.

What happened up ahead?

Ye Xiao looked ahead in confusion and saw several figures in police uniforms. He could also vaguely hear the professor and others' agitated voices.

"Damn it, more than half an hour has passed, how long are you going to keep investigating?"

"Excuse me, gentlemen, but in order to protect the scene, please cooperate with our work."

Despite the professors' rebukes, the local police officers, though speaking in a gentler tone, refused to back down and stood firmly in front of the cabin entrance.

Some of them even deliberately lifted their clothes to reveal the pistols hanging on their waists.

Either behave and wait here, or you can barge in and taste the flavor of a 9mm bullet.

The atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became very oppressive.

On one side were arrogant police officers, arms crossed, looking down at the scene.

On the other side were professors, students, and other tourists, who, like quails, could only lower their heads and negotiate in vain.

The professors from the University of Washington were all quite old, and after drifting on the yacht for half a day, they were exhausted and staggering, with several even sitting on the ground in exhaustion.

They had hoped to return to their cabins to rest, but instead they were blocked at the entrance and refused to go in, without even an explanation.

No matter what they asked, those despicable police officers always coldly replied, "Internal secret, no comment."

"Damn it."

Rhodes cursed under his breath in dissatisfaction, then glanced at Erich and suddenly laughed.

"Erich, aren't you supposed to have a good relationship with the police? How come you're stuck outside too?"

"Rhodes, stop messing around, this isn't Seattle."

Other professors kindly offered their advice.

"Heh, so what if it's not Seattle? Doesn't he have those incredibly talented students?"

Rod still couldn't forget the gold watch he'd just lost, and sneered sarcastically, "How come you're stuck outside like us now?"

"What happened?"

With a familiar voice, Ye Xiao squeezed through the queue.

"Oh, our genius from Tokyo University has arrived."

Rod waved his hand dramatically: "We're stuck outside now, do you have any good ideas?"

Ye Xiao ignored Luo De.

He glanced at Ehrlich, then, to everyone's surprise, strode towards the police officer opposite him.

Good heavens, he actually dared to do that?!

The professors and students around were dumbfounded.

They had tried to go up, but the police officer forced them back with a gun.

However, Ye Xiao seemed not to have seen the gun and walked straight to the leader of the group of supervisors.

"What happened here?"

"You, you————"

The police supervisor suddenly frowned and stared intently at Ye Xiao.

Seeing this, Rod was secretly delighted.

You brat, it's finally your turn to get the short end of the stick!

The others were on edge, fearing that Ye Xiao, that scoundrel, would offend these police officers.

However, at that moment, a crisp sound suddenly rang out in the cabin.

Everyone was startled. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the fierce police supervisor had suddenly stomped his foot, stood at attention, and saluted!

What's going on?

Rhodes was stunned, wondering if he was seeing things.

Otherwise, how could you see a police officer saluting a foreign student?

However, what surprised them even more was what followed.

The police supervisor looked serious, as if he were giving a report.

"Report: A case has been discovered inside the cabin. Federal agents are currently investigating inside and request that we take control of the scene from the outside."

An incident has occurred, and federal agencies are investigating?

Who else is on this ship besides Guy?

Could someone have died?

Ye Xiao pondered for a moment and then gave the instructions.

"Okay, then go find a chair so my professor can rest for a bit. I'll go in and check on the situation."

"Yes, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, the police supervisor dared not delay and immediately made arrangements.

In the previous attack, he personally witnessed Ye Xiao and Guy acting like brothers.

They didn't doubt his identity at all and assumed he was a Chinese-American FBI agent.

"Professor, please wait a moment."

Ye Xiao turned around and reassured them, "Something happened inside the cabin. I'll go check it out."

"It's alright, you can go ahead."

Professor Ehrlich, who was usually short-tempered, waved to Ye Xiao like a kind old grandfather, and even added, "Be careful."

Those who witnessed this couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Is this old guy still putting on an act?

Led by the police supervisor, Ye Xiao quickly arrived at the cabin where the incident occurred.

As soon as the door opened, Guy looked up in surprise from inside the cabin.

"Ye, why are you back?"

"I heard something happened, so I came in to check."

Ye Xiao walked into the cabin with practiced ease, his expression natural, looking just like a seasoned agent: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"There really is!"

Guy pondered for a moment, then quickly showed a look of surprise and led Ye Xiao into the cabin.

This is an exterior deluxe king room with a spacious interior and a large balcony offering stunning sea and sky views.

"Ye, just in case, I'll ask you something in advance."

Guy glanced at Ye Xiao, his expression somewhat strange: "Where did you go this afternoon?"

"I was with the professors the whole time. We chartered a yacht to go fishing at sea. Many people can testify to this. I never left their sight, let alone got on the boat."

"I see."

Guy nodded, his tone serious. "Ye, Professor Savely was murdered while you were fishing."

"What?"

Ye Xiao asked in surprise.

He had a vague feeling that Professor Savery had actually been murdered.

"yes."

Guy gave him a wry smile: "To be honest, I used to suspect you were the prime suspect."

39

"Because of my feud with Professor Savery?"

Ye Xiao shrugged: "But you know, I didn't even know he was on the ship."

59

Guy nodded.

Indeed, as Ye Xiao said, if he had known Savely was on the ship, he probably wouldn't have come to Alaska at all.

But now Ye Xiao has been eliminated from the list of suspects, leaving all the clues Guy found completely dead.

"Then can you help me analyze it?"

Guy cleared his throat and slowly said with a thoughtful expression, "The deceased's name was Savely, a Polish man. He was found dead in the cabin at 5 p.m., and the estimated time of death is between 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.

"The body was hanging upside down from the ceiling of the cabin, its throat slit; the method was quite cruel and skillful."

"No signs of entry or exit were found at the scene, nor were any fingerprints, murder weapons, or other clues discovered."

At this point, Guy paused, somewhat embarrassed, "Furthermore, we discovered that Savely's personal belongings are missing, which is very dangerous, so tourists are not allowed to enter at this time."

"Is this the virus that nearly caused a serious outbreak in Seattle?"

"That's right."

Guy thought to himself, since Ye Xiao is in the know anyway, it doesn't matter if he finds out.

Having a legitimate medical student around can give him some confidence.

Thinking of this, Guy placed his hand heavily on Ye Xiao's shoulder.

"Therefore, I hope you can assist in the investigation of Savely's death, and at the same time, you must find the whereabouts of that virus!"

Now that he had been cleared of suspicion, Guy naturally wanted to use people he knew, especially since he considered himself to have a life-or-death bond with Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao also wanted to take this opportunity to find the virus carried by Saveri and how he obtained it.

"no problem."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, stood up, and asked, "Were all the people who were still on the ship at the time brought under control?"

"Of course, do you want to go and ask questions?"

Guy blinked, his eyes gleaming.

"Since there are no clues here, we'll have to go ask around."

After saying goodbye to Guy, Ye Xiao followed the police officer to several cabins next door.

They were the crew members who remained on the ship, along with a few tourists who did not disembark.

Ye Xiao took the list from the police officer, looked at it carefully, and immediately frowned.

"Sir, is there a problem?"

The officer couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing much. Where is this person being held?"

Ye Xiao pointed to a name on the list: "Take me there, let's start with her."

"Her? Are you sure?"

The officer wore a complex expression of surprise.

"What's wrong?"

"She is a nun, sir."

The officer explained.

"A nun? Wouldn't that be even better?"

"What?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just take me there."

At Ye Xiao's request, the police officer had no choice but to take him to the outside of a luxury suite.

Upon arriving at the door, the police officer was chased away by Ye Xiao and could only return to Savely's cabin.

Where did he go?

Guy asked with a serious expression.

"Go, go to the cabin of that beautiful lady named Livia."

The officer answered somewhat awkwardly.

Damn it, is that really how it is?

Guy clenched his fists in frustration, somewhat doubting whether Ye Chi had actually come to help him.

This lecherous bastard said he was going to ask for a statement, so how did he end up running into that woman's room?

You'd better actually be giving a statement, instead of doing those weird things with your mouth!

But there was nothing Guy could do.

The branch's support hasn't arrived yet; until then, he can only rely on the local police and Ye Xiao.

"Knock knock knock".

Ye Xiao knocked on the door: "Please open the door, ma'am. I'm a police officer, and I have a few questions for you."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Livia pushed open the hatch, and a look of surprise immediately appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Oh my god, Ye, it's you?"

"Come in quickly, the police are arresting people outside, be careful."

Ye Xiao was pulled into the cabin by Livia's arm.

She quickly brought over a cup of hot tea and said nervously, "You're really brave to pretend to be a policeman."

"Who said I was faking it?"

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and pulled out an agent's badge with an FBI emblem from his pocket.

"What?"

Upon seeing the badge with the shield and scales, Livia stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her rosy lips slightly parted, giving one the urge to suckle them.

Livia suddenly stood up and screamed in alarm.

"Oh my god, Ye, were you lying to me before?"

"You deceived my feelings?!"
