The moment he stepped below the deck, he heard a passenger say anxiously, "I had it when I was eating just now, otherwise I wouldn't have had the money to buy a meal!"
"Comrade, don't panic, check again."
"It's gone, I only have these two pockets on me."
"Open your bag and check, see if the wallet is in there." Onboard police Old Jin reminded.
The passenger squatted down, rummaging through his bag with a pained expression, "It can't be in the bag, I haven't opened it since I got on the ship."
Old Jin pressed on, "Where did you go after you left the dining room?"
"I went to the bow to enjoy the sea breeze for a while, and then I came back. I didn't go anywhere else."
"Did you sit here after you came back?"
"Mm, I didn't go anywhere else."
"Comrades, please make way, everyone check around your feet, see if there's a wallet."
"It's not here by me!"
"Nor by me!"
...
A lost wallet may not be a major case, but for the owner, it's a huge deal.
