After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chen Yu immediately stood still and analyzed the death scenes of the three victims.

Apart from a piece of white cloth in the pocket of the second victim, there was nothing on the others.

After synthesizing all the details, Chen Yu realized that the second victim had been drugged in advance and brought to the scene.

And his death served the purpose of causing chaos, allowing the murderer to kill the third person.

Now that three people had died in succession, the entire ship was plunged into extreme panic, so in this chaos, the murderer would definitely try to kill the remaining four people in the shortest amount of time.

Thinking this, Chen Yu's mind became somewhat muddled.

If the murderer was so eager to die, what was his reason for seeking death?

Suddenly, Chen Yu thought of something and immediately grabbed the arm of the security chief.

"A total of seven people entered the tomb of Ramses III; can you help me find the list of these seven people?"

The security chief nodded and immediately contacted the captain.

Soon, the captain's voice came over the loudspeaker.

He actually read out the names of four people, asking them to report to the captain's room.

Chen Yu inwardly cursed, sensing trouble.

According to his analysis, the murderer should be among these seven people.

Now by calling the remaining people to the captain's room, wasn't this giving the murderer the chance to kill all the remaining people?

He didn't dare to delay and hurried to the captain's room.

The security chief, not understanding what Chen Yu wanted to do, quickly followed him.

When the two arrived at the captain's room, one after the other, the room was already filled with a large amount of white fog.

Chen Yu quickly covered his nose and rushed forward, finding the captain and four other people already collapsed on the ground, with two of them convulsing all over, clearly experiencing an excess of adrenaline.

He immediately extended his finger, pressing at a point on the chests of the people.

The captain was the first to regain consciousness; he quickly took a handkerchief from the table and covered his mouth and nose.

"This is outrageous; someone has released toxins here. Conduct a thorough search of the ship; I'm going to catch the murderer," the captain exclaimed.

Chen Yu didn't say much, immediately opening the ventilation system. When most of the white smoke in the room had dispersed, he walked over to a middle-aged man lying on the ground.

While the others were showing signs of breathing, this guy lay there motionless, as if he were dead.

"Mr. Le Ming, if I'm not mistaken, those three people outside were killed by you. You came here to find the opportunity to kill the remaining three and then, by faking your death, take all the treasures that the seven of you brought out of the tomb for yourself," Chen Yu said.

At these words, the captain and the security chief were both stunned, unable to speak.

They couldn't figure out this layer despite racking their brains.

Le Ming still lay on the ground, as if he really had passed away.

Chen Yu didn't care; he directly grabbed Le Ming's neck, lifting him up.

"Mr. Le, if you don't open your eyes soon, I will really kill you," Chen Yu warned.

The pressure on his hand slowly increased, and Le Ming's face turned ashen before he began to cough violently.

"Who exactly are you? Why do you meddle in other people's business?" Le Ming managed to ask.

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.
