It wasn't until the time when it was supposed to anchor that Ning Junwu hurried back to the ship with someone.

The trip was still going on as planned, and a dispute on the dock seemed to have nothing to do with Chu Ji's boat not being painful at all.

This is certainly not the case.

The number of girls visiting each other's cabins has increased significantly, and even several people who have an average relationship and are not very familiar with each other have come to Xia Xiaodong to gossip a few words.

However, based on Xia Xiaodong's observation, they didn't necessarily deliberately ask for themselves, but were looking for people who knew and could gossip one by one.

It wasn't until after lunch on the second day that the impetuous situation on the boat was alleviated, and everyone went to a nap in a drowsy manner, that Ning Junwu found an opportunity to meet Xia Xiaodong.

The reason for the meeting was very grandiose, and of course it was to cooperate with the investigation. Watching the excitement also has the responsibility of watching the excitement, always talk about what you see and hear.

The meeting place is also very magnificent, in the central cabin, which is very large, and it is a place for feasting and drinking. However, because the girls all eat in the cabin, they are idle, and occasionally there will be maids who are not worth their value, and they will gather here to play horses and gamble a few small money.

Ning Junwu swept around, and didn't see the idle people who were probing his brain, so he openly stretched out his hand, held Xia Xiaodong's hands, and asked, "Are you scared?" ”

Xia Xiaodong looked at the two guards behind Ning Junwu, the two of them looked at the portholes on the left and right respectively, obviously thinking that the water outside the window was much better than the beauty in front of them, and they couldn't take their eyes off it.

should all be Ning Junwu's henchmen.

Xia Xiaodong held him for a while, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine." What's going on today? ”

"Humph!" Ning Junwu snorted, and there was a bit of anger in his voice: "This group of people followed all the way down from Langfang Mountain, thanks to their good foot strength, they were afraid of being discovered on the water, so they came down by land." ”

By water, of course, it is because the land route in the same direction is not easy to walk. Most of the two sides of the strait are mountains, and where there are no mountains, there are not necessarily smooth official roads, so it is indeed not easy to follow along the land route.

"Are you coming at me?" Xia Xiaodong asked.

"It should be." Ning Junwu nodded, and his two thick eyebrows tightened: "Actually, it's for the two of us." If something happens to you, I, the envoy, will not be able to escape the blame. ”

Speaking of the words 'send relatives to envoys', Ning Junwu showed bitterness and sighed: "I wish you didn't have to go to Daqi, I can't imagine that there are others who have the same thoughts." ”

"Who is it?"

"The leader is dead." Ning Junwu said this.

The dead man could not speak.

"By the way, this one is back for you." Ning Junwu handed over something from under the table.

It was the throwing knife, the blade of which was wrapped in a thick cloth so as not to be injured by mistake.

Xia Xiaodong smiled, took the opportunity to pull out his hand, and reloaded the flying knife on the inside of his arm. This flying knife was given by Ning Junwu.

Ning Junwu introduced the situation very succinctly, and some of them were even discovered after the ship had been anchored, and it seemed that he had the source of his own information.

The people who are ready to start are actually not locals from the pier, but the commonly known 'river dragon', probably planning to flee immediately after completing this ticket, so even the procedures for worshipping the pier are saved.

The so-called worship of the pier means that people from other places have to say hello to the local bigwigs when they arrive at the land, and usually give some gifts to explain what they want to do. Generally, after the completion of the matter, if there is a harvest or reward, it is necessary to share some of the past. Correspondingly, during the local period, you can also be taken care of by the local bosses.

The advantage of not worshipping the pier, in addition to saving costs, is that it is difficult to find. Black and white, no matter how well-informed people are, it is impossible to know all the things in the world. Suddenly, a group of people ran out, and after doing a vote, they didn't know where to go, and everyone was immediately blinded.

But the downside is also obvious, it's easy to find. This is easy to find and difficult to find.

The thing was done, and it was successful, of course, it was hard to find. But if something goes wrong, or if the escape does not go well, then these people from other places are as conspicuous as pearls in the sand. No one is willing to take responsibility for them, and they have provided clues one after another, and they can be found in two clicks.

The local bigwigs are not stupid, they didn't even confiscate the meeting gifts, why should they cover them up? Are there any rules to speak of? Besides, it's covered up, the government is pressing, and if you don't make a good fuss, you will put it on your own head.

"In fact, there are only four men and three women, and the others are all hired for temporary money." Ning Junwu waved his hand to one of the guards behind him and took the leaf card on the other table.

Ning Junwu drew seven cards out, and he didn't look at the cards, but only used the back of the same color, four in a row, and three in a row.

"This man who seems to be the leader has since died." Ning Junwu turned the one in the upper row sideways, indicating that it had been 'eliminated'.

It should be the person who has Xia Xiaodong's flying knife in his heart.

"Of the three women, only one was still alive at the time." Ning Junwu had no pity for the jade, and turned the two cards in the lower row sideways.

"That 'little sister' is also dead?" In Xia Xiaodong's memory, the woman was only stabbed in the right chest, which was also fatal?

"Well, I vomited a lot of blood foam, and it took me seven hours to die." Ning Junwu said coldly, as if he felt that seven hours was too little.

Xia Xiaodong felt that this 'little sister' was a little pitiful, she was so young, most of them were just taken by her sisters, but she died so miserably. It's just that the knife on her body was actually thrown by an accomplice, but she has nothing to say.

"I know these guys." Xia Xiaodong stretched out his slender fingers and swept over the three cards in the lower row.

"Acquaintance?"

"Well, or rather, it would be more accurate to know. In fact, I only heard his voice before, but I didn't see him. Xia Xiaodong raised his head and looked at Ning Junwu: "Do you remember what happened to the summer resort last time?" ”

Of course I remember, how can I forget.

"Those three people who pretended to be palace maids and arrested me in the secret room that time." Xia Xiaodong frowned slightly, and thought carefully: "I didn't recognize them before they opened their mouths, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they knew it." Absolutely. ”

Thinking that at the beginning, Xia Xiaodong was stuffed in a black bag, and later hid behind a stone, and really heard a lot of conversations between the three women, and he was quite familiar with the sound.

"One of them should have seen it," it was the one who had asked her for directions, Xia Xiaodong continued: "But I don't recognize it, their makeup skills are very good." ”

"......" Ning Junwu didn't speak with a calm face. Before, the county lord of Anning and Ning Twenty-eight joined forces to plot, although these two masterminds did not end well, but other people involved still slipped through the net. I didn't expect to meet it again here.

Who hired these people this time?
