Chapter Seventy-Four: The Docks
The sky soon brightened, and the golden sunlight shone on the surface of the river, reflecting a little bit of light.
The two rested for a while on the embankment.
Stretching a big stretch, Mu Fei stood up.
"Since the murderer is still by the river, will he stay on the boat all the time?" After a short rest, Mu Fei felt a little clearer.
"You wait for me." Zhang Jin didn't answer, and after talking to Mu Fei coldly, he turned around and walked towards the street.
Mu Fei didn't know why, but he still stood on the river embankment and waited according to the other party's instructions.
Leaning against the guardrail of the embankment, the early summer breeze blows across the river, carrying a hint of coolness. The damp air was mixed with the fishy smell of the river, and the yellowing of the river glistening in the sun made his eyes dizzy, and he felt a strong smell of death emanating from the depths of the river.
There was a roar in his ears, and a heavy locomotive stopped beside Mu Fei.
"Get in the car." Zhang Jin threw him a spare helmet and said coldly.
Mu Fei took the helmet and put it on directly, straddle the back seat of the locomotive. A few days ago, when he was in Shanshi City, Mu Fei had ridden this Ducati locomotive, but it was Qi Haojun who rode at that time. That kid rode like he was dying, and almost threw Mu Fei out of the back seat. Since then, Mu Fei has vowed that he will never take any vehicle driven by Qi Haojun again.
Zhang Jin took Mu Fei in the opposite direction from before, rode towards the upper reaches of the Linjiang River, and stopped when he reached an area with a dense number of boats.
Mu Fei got out of the car, stood on the embankment and looked at the river from afar, here is a wharf, there are many large and small fishing boats and several small passenger ferries parked on the riverbank, and the dark shadows of the boats sailing can be seen in the distance.
"Do you think the killer will park the boat here?" Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to stop at the pier like this?
Zhang Jin was still sitting on the locomotive, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff, and said lightly: "What you said before is right, if the murderer has been staying by the river, it is more likely that he is indeed hiding on the boat." It's too difficult to hide a ship alone, but it's hard to be spotted if it's hidden among other ships. ”
Mu Fei nodded, this is the meaning of hiding the leaves in the deep forest.
"There are only two docks in the city, and the other downstream of the place where we found the rags, and they are mostly heavy passenger ships." Zhang Jin said, "I don't think the ship we're looking for will be over there." ”
"How do you find so many ships?" This is another problem, Mu Fei couldn't help but worry, when will I have to find this one by one?
"I'm afraid of startling snakes with blind searches." Zhang Jin frowned and looked at the river, thought for a while and said, "Let's see the situation first." ”
After saying that, the two of them looked around, found a position where they could see the movement of all the boats and were not easily discovered by the people by the river, and stood still and carefully observed.
"Have you seen someone from the Fang family?" Zhang Jin asked lightly while staring at the surface of the river while smoking.
"I only saw Fang Jiaping." Mu Fei replied, "I haven't seen the rest of the Fang family and the top management of the Fang family's enterprise. ”
"The head of the Fang family." Zhang Jin pondered for a moment, "That guy looks pretty good, but you must not take it lightly." ”
"Hmm." Mu Fei nodded, "It really can't." ”
"His secretary is also a fox." Zhang Jin said with a frown.
"You're talking about Wei Zhen?" Mu Fei asked in surprise.
"You've seen it?" Zhang Jin turned his head to look at Mu Fei and asked coldly.
"Yes, I went directly to Fang Jiaping in the company building of Fang's Enterprise, and the person in charge of receiving it was Mr. Wei Zhen." Mu Fei answered truthfully.
Hearing this, Zhang Jin glanced at Mu Fei, frowned slightly and said, "Did that guy tell you something?" ”
"Nope." Mu Fei recalled it carefully, and didn't think that the other party had said anything special. He really felt good about Wei.
"That's good." Zhang Jin seemed to be really relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, "You should be careful in the future." ”
"Okay." Mu Fei was really puzzled about what Wei Zhen had done to Zhang Jin to make this cold-faced sheriff so wary of him. However, he didn't ask, it is estimated that even if he asked, Zhang Jin would only frown and stare at him with a cold face, and he would not answer.
Zhang Jin snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, threw it into the trash can next to him, and then lit a second cigarette.
Except for this case, the two of them didn't have any common language at all, and neither of them was the kind of person who would be speechless to chat, so they fell silent and looked quietly and intently at the ship docked.
Suddenly, a cheerful piece of music rang out, breaking the silence between the two.
This music is very familiar, it seems to be ......
Doraemon?
Ahem, this ...... Is it ......?
Mu Fei saw that Zhang Jin didn't have any reaction, and reminded in a low voice: "That, your mobile phone seems to be ringing." ”
"Cell phone?" Zhang Jin frowned slightly, "My mobile phone ringtone is not this." ”
Although the other party said it with a determined face, the theme song of Doraemon continues.
Sure that his mobile phone was not ringing, Mu Fei looked left and right, there was no one else around here, and then looked at Zhang Jin, this guy's expression still did not change at all and stared at the river.
The music finally stopped. There was silence again.
Within a few seconds, Doraemon's theme song sounded again.
"It looks like your phone is ringing." Mu Fei looked at Zhang Jin a little speechlessly, "Why don't you take it out and make sure?" ”
Zhang Jin glanced at Mu Fei, and with some impatience took out his pocket and took out his mobile phone, only to be surprised to find that the music sound was indeed emitted by it.
"Hey, what's the matter?" After the phone was connected, Zhang Jin asked coldly.
This guy really doesn't know it's his own phone ringtone. Mu Fei stood aside and observed with a black line, and found that Zhang Jin only frowned slightly, and accepted this fact without any change in his expression.
No wonder the other party has not answered his call, and this person didn't realize it at all when the emotional phone rang.
Who the hell secretly changed this guy's phone ringtone to Doraemon? Mu Fei was very curious.
Seeing Zhang Jinsan's words, he hung up the phone, and then turned his head to stare at himself with a serious face, Mu Fei only felt that he was stared at inexplicably.
He didn't make that cheerful ringtone, why are you staring at him like this? Mu Fei was puzzled.
"That friend of yours is at the police station right now." Zhang Jin said coldly.
"What?" Friend? What friends? Why did you go to the police station? Mu Fei was inexplicably surprised by the other party's words.
"The woman we brought back yesterday." Zhang Jin explained, "This morning she was blocked by those few gangsters who collected debts, and some witnesses called the police. Would you like to check it out? ”
"You're talking about Feng Li?" Mu Fei was a little helpless, this sister was really unlucky, "No need, I don't have time now, and I don't know that girl very well." Mu Fei shook his head, Feng Li's matter was her own responsibility, and he was not obliged to help her solve it.
Zhang Jin didn't say anything when he heard this, turned his head and continued to look at the boats coming and going on the river.
