Chapter Seventy-Three: Reunion

Coming out of the night sky bar, Mu Fei ran directly to the river.

If, as Zhang Jin had speculated, the incident took place not in the lower cabin of the yacht at all, but on another ship, then the real crime scene would not have been cordoned off by the police at all.

It is still floating on the river, looking for new prey.

At night, the river becomes dark, reflecting the light on the shore, and it seems to be bottomless, and it seems more mysterious than during the day.

The water was quiet, and only the sound of rushing water could be heard.

Mu Fei stood by the embankment, leaned half of his body out of the guardrail, and looked at the river to the left and right.

There were no ships to be seen on the water.

Mu Fei walked along the river, staring carefully at the river as he walked.

I don't know how long he walked, Mu Fei stared at the dark river, the water surface and the night sky almost merged, the more he looked, the more he felt as if he was about to be sucked into this bottomless river.

The darkness, from the outside, through his eyes, gradually spread into his body.

As he gazed into the darkness, the darkness was also eroding him little by little.

Mu Fei frowned and stared at the middle of the river.

After taking a few steps, he turned his head to look at the river, but ignored the front and collided directly with the oncoming person.

Mu Fei covered his shoulder that was hurt, and said in his heart that this person was really strong.

"Hey, boy, what are you doing?" The cold voice and the vicious tone sounded above his head.

Why does it sound familiar?

Mu Fei raised his head and met Zhang Jin's frowning brows and slightly fierce-looking eyes.

"Huh? Why are you here? Mu Fei asked suspiciously.

"That's what I'm asking you." Zhang Jin said coldly.

"I just want to walk around here." Mu Fei explained, "I suspect your previous guess may be right. ”

"What speculation?" Zhang Jin asked with a frown.

"The crime scene wasn't on that yacht, it was on another boat." "So I wanted to look along the river to see if I could find anything." ”

"Hmm." After hearing this, Zhang Jin just hummed and didn't say anything.

"You're here for the same reason?" Mu Fei reacted at this time, Zhang Jin must have been by the river at this time for this incident.

"It's not." Zhang Jin shook his head.

"That's?" Mu Fei couldn't figure it out.

"What you said is just my guess, and there is no evidence to prove it." Zhang Jin said without any emotion.

Mu Fei suddenly remembered this person's usual logic. Do not consider any speculation as a conclusive conclusion until it is confirmed.

For Zhang Jin, only the reality is proved by solid evidence, and everything else is hypothetical, which is only considered as a hypothesis.

"So......" Mu Fei felt that Zhang Jin would come here because of that incident, could it be that the police had made a new discovery? Or does Zhang Jin have other speculations to confirm?

Without waiting for Mu Fei to finish asking, Zhang Jin understood what he wanted to ask, and said coldly: "I just think that this murderer may still be staying by the river." ”

Only then did Mu Fei understand why he always met Zhang Jin by the river, and thought that it was for this reason that this sheriff had been observing by the river.

"Are you sure the murderer is still by the river?" Mu Fei asked.

"I can't." Zhang Jin shook his head, "It's just my intuition. ”

"......" Mu Fei was silent for a moment, this guy would actually say such emotional words, which was really something he didn't expect.

can look at Zhang Jin's expression, his face is serious, and it doesn't seem like he is joking at all.

This guy is serious, and he's really only here because of his intuition.

Mom, didn't you say that everything that is good depends on evidence? Didn't you say that he was a highly professional sheriff?

"Could it be that you haven't been back?" Mu Fei suddenly realized that Zhang Jin probably returned to the river after breaking up with him, and never left.

"Hmm." Zhang Jin did not deny it.

"......" This guy's professionalism is indeed professional.

"Let's go." After Zhang Jin finished speaking, he turned around and left, regardless of whether Mu Fei followed or not.

Mu Fei followed as a matter of course.

The two did not speak, but walked quietly on the embankment by the river. The sky was slightly bright, and a glimmer of light appeared in the distance where the sky met the river.

The two of them stopped at the same time, standing on the embankment, watching the moment of dawn.

"I always thought there should be a clue by the river, but we ignored it." Zhang Jin frowned and said suddenly.

"What?" Hearing this, Mu Fei raised his head and looked at his side.

Zhang Jin stopped talking and looked at the river in silence.

"What you said earlier about the murderer still being by the river wasn't just because of your intuition, right?" Mu Fei asked.

"It was a gut feeling at first." Zhang Jin said with a cold face.

"And after that?" Since it was the beginning, there must be later.

"Then you found the rag." Zhang Jin didn't look back, his eyes kept looking at the river, "If that rag had fallen into the river on the day of the crime, it would have been washed into the sea by the river long ago, and it would be impossible for us to find it." ”

"You mean, the rag just recently fell into the river? So you think the prisoner is still staying near Jiang Linhe? Mu Fei asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Quite possibly." Zhang Jin nodded slightly, "The footprints I saw by the river before were very strange, the footprints obviously came out of the river, but I didn't find the opposite footprints, and there were no records and traces of ships docked nearby." ”

Mu Fei thought about it carefully before he understood, it turned out that Zhang Jin asked him before if it was possible for the demon to survive in the water because of this, the policeman was doubting whether the prisoner stayed in the river, or he was doubting whether the prisoner had been living underwater at all.

Since Zhang Jin didn't know much about what a creature like a demon was, he felt that anything could happen, so he had that kind of speculation.

The two of them had walked a long distance along the river before, and basically saw nothing. If the prisoners were left there, where would they hide? Is it really underwater?

"Since I came back yesterday, I've been watching the speed of the river." Zhang Jin turned his head to look at Mu Fei.

"You're trying to calculate where the rags on your swimsuit got washed off?" Mu Fei asked.

"Hmm." Zhang Jin nodded.

"Is there any result?" What Mu Fei wants to know most at the moment is this.

"Nope." Zhang Jin rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, "It seems that mathematical calculations are not my forte. ”

Is this sheriff joking with him? Mu Fei looked at the other party's expression with some uncertainty, but found that the other party's face was still serious.

This guy is serious. Mu Fei thought with a black line.

"But since we can be sure that the murderer is still by the river, as long as you look along the river, you can find him sooner or later." Mu Fei said.
