Three tourists, all men, one of whom was about 35 years old and the other two were in their 60s, were invited into the screening room together. The three didn't know each other before they went to the island, but after more than 20 days of thrilling life and death, they became close.

Every day, you can see them chatting and smoking on the deck, and you can see them playing cards and mixing time in the restaurant.

When Yuan Fan was harassed by Hua Hongyi, they happened to meet for dinner, and beat the drunkard hard.

"One by one, where were you and what were you doing between 10 o'clock last night and 2 o'clock this morning?"

The young man was the first to speak: "Xiang Team, we didn't kill anyone, the three of us played cards in Uncle Wang's room and played all night." ”

The other two elderly people lacked courage and were obviously frightened by the news of Hua Hongyi's death. When asked to the south, they didn't dare to look up at him, but nodded desperately in line with the young man's words.

"Yes, yes, the three of us have been playing cards in Uncle Wang's room since we got on the boat, and we saw Hua Hongyi in the restaurant yesterday morning, and we didn't have any other time."

Tourists who went to the cargo hold to pick up their luggage this morning screamed loudly after finding the body, and the vicious murder on the other side had spread throughout the cruise ship before Xiang Nan and Gao Xiaoxi arrived.

The 3 tourists who were angry for Fan Fan were instantly frightened.

They were woken up from their beds before they could wake up, and they waited outside the screening room in fear.

"Xiang team, it's not us, it's really not us, Hua Hongyi has a short temper and misbehaves, we just beat him up and get angry, how can it be ......"

The man waved his hand desperately, clarifying himself and his companion. "How could you kill him, and, again, make him like that."

Hua Hongyi's bloody nude imprint hanging on the cross lingers in the mind of every tourist.

Although not everyone has seen it with their own eyes, the human imagination is very rich, coupled with the colorful descriptions of the good deeds and the parts that add oil and vinegar according to their own opinions, the cause of Hua Hongyi's death has been passed on several versions in a short time.

"Don't be too nervous, calling you here is just a routine question, since the testimonies of the three of you corroborate each other, then I believe you for the time being."

"You said you've been playing cards all night, is there any movement outside the door?"

The young tourist glanced at the two older players next to him, thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Uncle Wang's place is full of empty rooms on the left and right, and we are afraid that others will choose Uncle Wang's room because of the noise caused by playing cards at night. We didn't hear any noise outside the door. ”

Hua Hongyi's room is at No. 38, and Uncle Wang's room is at No. 42, with 3 rooms in between, and no movement can be heard at all.

The young tourist thought of something again, and replied with a slight blush: "If you want to say what you hear, the two of us live in a room away from us, they are active at night, and sometimes we can hear movements." The woman screamed loudly. ”

Gao Xiaoxi also blushed when he heard this, and the young tourist was talking about no one else, it was Zhuang Xian and Pang Gonglin. The female forensic doctor couldn't help but secretly scream shamelessly, these three people gathered in Uncle Wang's room No. 42 at night to play cards, I am afraid that it is not only because it is quiet and will not disturb other tourists, but also because they want to listen to the corner.

Older tourists reacted and were laughed at by female forensic doctors who had been driving for many years and had overturned. The man named Uncle Wang immediately stopped his companion from speaking with his eyes, and said a few more words, in case Xiang Nan asked them to change rooms, and they would never hear a beautiful sound again.

Uncle Wang smiled: "Xiang team, we are just playing cards, and we can't hear anything." ”

The room was quiet for a while, and when the three of them became more and more anxious and restless, Xiang Nan asked them, "We're going to search your room, okay?" ”

The three of them hurriedly agreed, nodded and got up to leave.

Then there is the main event, the members of the sales department of the sales company of Fulvshou Health Products Group. Xiang Nan first ordered Zhou Fansheng, he had a good impression of this young man, they often acted together on the island because of the disappearance of Bai Xiaozhou and several people, this young man was steady and steady, and he seemed out of place in this company full of weird atmosphere.

After Zhou Fansheng came in, he sat up straight, his eyes did not squint, and he could see that this person had a firm heart and a sunny attitude, although his spirit was not good, he had not recovered from Bai Xiaozhou's murder, but his emotions had been adjusted.

"Is Hua Hongyi's death related to Bai Xiaozhou's death?"

Before Xiang Nan could speak, Zhou Fansheng hurriedly asked.

"Team Xiang, don't hide it from me, I want to join in the investigation of the case."

Xiang Nan felt very sorry for this young man, and tried to be as soft as possible when questioning.

"Don't worry, there are still many doubts about the deaths of the two, but judging from my years of experience in solving cases, the deaths of the two of them do not belong to the same motive, and the murderers are also different."

Bai Xiaozhou's death is still a thorn in Zhou Fansheng's heart, he hates himself for being powerless, and he is also ruthless that he can't protect the other party. The last time he saw Bai Xiaozhou, she clearly had something to tell him.

It's a pity that all his attention was on the confession at that time, expecting Bai Xiaozhou to give him a positive response, but ignoring the dodging and wanting to speak in the other party's eyes.

"What's the doubt?"

Xiang Nan asked him, "Do you know Hua Hongyi?" I mean, did you meet him before he came to your sales department? ”

Zhou Fansheng shook his head, he had not been in the company for a long time, and his impression was that he either got along with his colleagues or went out to meet customers. I don't remember this person in my life.

"This is the information we found from Hua Hongyi's room, you can take a look."

Xiang Nan handed a stack of photos to Zhou Fansheng, Hua Hongyi in the photos is much younger than now, fresh and handsome, and he is not the same person at all.

"You say this is Hua Hongyi?" Zhou Fansheng looked at the man in the photo in disbelief, if it weren't for Xiang Nan's determination, he didn't think they were the same person at all.

Hua Hongyi's changes are too great, his beard is unshaven, his long hair hides his face, his expression is haggard, and his eye sockets are deeply sunken, which is very different from his previous image.

"Yes!" Affirmed to the south.

He didn't recognize this person for the first time, and it wasn't until he found his body in the morning and went to his room to collect evidence that he knew that this person was Hua Nana's father in the case of the fall of a female student from Simin High School 10 years ago, Mr. Hua, and Hua Yi.

Later, he changed his name to Hua Hongyi, and more than a month ago, he entered the sales department of Fu Lu Shou and became a salesman.

"This person is so familiar, I mean the person in the photo, it seems that I have seen it somewhere."

"He is Hua Yi, the chairman of your group."

Zhou Fansheng looked at Xiang Nan in surprise, not understanding the meaning of his words, how could a group director go to the sales department to work as a salesman, and he still looked depressed and sloppy.

"Xiang team, Hua Hongyi, I mean what has our chairman experienced over the years, and why did it become like this?"

Hua Yi knows Zhou Fansheng, as the chairman of the group, his photo has been hanging in the entrepreneurial team of the conference room, and he never expected that such a powerful big man would become what he is today.

Xiang Nan guessed that Hua Hongyi had a great change in his heart because his daughter was killed and fell to death 10 years ago, and he couldn't accept the blow to become like this, and he told Zhou Fansheng the general process of the female student who fell to death in Simin High School in Simin County 10 years ago.

"That's the way it is, Hua Hongyi shouldn't be able to accept his daughter's death, and he can't get out of it to become like this."

"Gao Xiaoxi and Professor Wei and I also went to the island to investigate because of this matter."

"Are you saying that our chairman also disguised himself as a salesman to Di Bronon in order to find out the inexplicable crashes that happened in Simin High School that year?"

He nodded in the affirmative to the south.

"No wonder you think that Hua Hongyi's death and Xiaozhou's death are of a different nature."

Bai Xiaozhou has nothing to do with what happened 10 years ago, and there is another reason for her death. The hope that rose in Zhou Fansheng's heart was shattered again, and the whole person fell into a new round of self-blame and guilt.

Gao Xiaoxi saw Zhou Fansheng's depressed appearance and comforted: "Don't be too sad, the cause of Xiaozhou's death will be revealed." ”

"Really?"

"Xiaozhou, she died so miserably! By the way, there are also Li Na and Hong Gonghua, when they died, they were the same as Xiaozhou, they were all ......" Zhou Fansheng covered his face and cried bitterly, he still couldn't accept the fact that Bai Xiaozhou had left him and had left this living world.

The two inquiring people waited for a while, and Gao Xiaoxi asked him again: "Can you provide any clues about Bai Xiaozhou's death?" ”

Zhou Fansheng took out a letter from his arms and said gloomily: "This is the letter that Xiaozhou gave me before he disappeared, it was originally intended for you, but I always felt that Xiaozhou was just missing, not ..."

"Until we found her body in the corridor......"

"Xiang team, take a look to see if there are any clues that can be provided."

...

Brother Fansheng, I was overwhelmed by receiving your letter, and my heart was both joyful and nameless.

Joy is because the man I like turns out to like me too.

And apprehension is fear.

There are also women like me who really like them, and I'm scared, afraid that change will bring about change, and I'm afraid of getting close and hurting you.

Brother Fansheng, you don't understand what kind of woman I am, if you really understand, you will definitely hate and even get tired of me.

I used to be ignorant and naïve, thinking that all people in this world are kind and beautiful, but I was wrong, the world is all dark, sinister, ugly and dead.

But after meeting you, my world has a touch of sunshine and a touch of warmth.

Gradually, I got the motivation to live and want to go and see your world.

But I'm still scared, afraid of certain people and certain things, so I decided to completely solve these things before I go to you and face you with a new self.

Brother Fansheng, I think it should be solved soon, please give me a little time.

Boat 9:50 p.m. on September 5, 2039

...

Xiang Nan read the letter twice before looking up and asking Zhou Fansheng: "Do you know what the fear mentioned by Bai Xiaozhou in the letter is?" ”

What is she afraid of? What are certain people and certain things?

"The letter also said that she would be able to resolve it soon, did this matter cause her death?"

Xiang Nan keenly captures the metaphors that are not directly spoken in the letter.

Zhou Fansheng was inspired, remembered a lot of things, and said hurriedly: "Team Xiang, I think of one thing." ”
