Chapter 3: The Disappeared Couple

"Don't worry too much about it, it's not uncommon to change the route because of the weather." Zhou Shucheng thought that Li Chaoyang cared about the route.

In fact, what Li Chaoyang cares about is the so-called curse.

Ever since he cursed the Zhao family, he had a special aversion to these two words, and he felt palpitations every time he mentioned them.

"What are you talking about?"

Han Xue walked over with a smile and naturally grabbed Li Chaoyang's arm.

"It's nothing, just talk about it." Li Chaoyang smiled.

"Let's go, let's get something to eat." After Han Xue finished speaking, she whispered: "Cooperate with me, my classmate is behind." ”

Li Chaoyang turned his head and saw a short-haired woman standing at the door of the cabin, with a bumpy figure, this person's appearance seemed to be very familiar.

Saying goodbye to Zhou Shucheng, Li Chaoyang and Han Xue walked over together, and Han Xue hurriedly made an introduction.

"Li Chaoyang, my boyfriend, a great writer." Han Xue said proudly.

"Hello, Shu Meina, Han Xue's college classmate."

The short-haired woman shook Li Chaoyang's hand very politely.

This time Li Chaoyang remembered that this woman was a reporter from the news channel of the provincial TV station, no wonder she felt very familiar.

A few people walked and chatted and went to the restaurant.

In the restaurant, Shu Meina's boyfriend Hu Jun was already waiting, in his thirties, sven, wearing a pair of glasses, a straight suit and shiny leather shoes, and a very elegant dress.

Shu Meina and Han Xue chatted very happily, Hu Jun didn't like to talk and was reading all the time, and Li Chaoyang was drinking a glass of water by himself.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After a long time, Hu Jun spoke: "Is your pen name Zhu Hou?" ”

Li Chaoyang was stunned and nodded.

"It turned out that it was really you, did you kill your neighbor's family?" Hu Jun suddenly asked a very strange question.

Although his tone was very natural, it sounded unusually harsh to Li Chaoyang, his matter had already been spread on the Internet, and it was not unusual for Hu Jun to know, but his question made Li Chaoyang very unhappy.

It's like two strangers asking you if you're a thief when they meet.

It's abrupt.

Feeling that he was too abrupt, Hu Jun hurriedly changed his words and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm a surgeon, I've read relevant reports, I think the media hype is a bit too much, and the child's face looks drowning." ”

"Can you stop talking about this topic?" Li Chaoyang was angry.

He really didn't want to talk about it.

"Okay, I'm sorry."

The scene became awkward again.

At this time, Li Chaoyang felt that someone was staring at him behind him.

It was a strong intuition, and it seemed to be looking very seriously.

He glanced sideways and saw a young girl sitting behind him, in denim shorts, a white T-shirt, with a ponytail, in her early twenties.

Finding that Li Chaoyang was looking at her, the woman hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to continue reading, but her books were all taken down.

This female Li Chaoyang has seen it many times, and she seems to have been paying attention to herself all the time.

But that look doesn't seem to be because of admiration, it's more like surveillance.

"Something's wrong!"

A staff member ran in in a panic, pointed in the direction of the deck and shouted: "Someone has fallen into the sea, come on." ”

The ponytail sitting behind Li Chaoyang was the first to stand up and rush over.

Several others stood up.

Li Chaoyang's heart sank, just now there were only Zhou Shucheng and the couple on the deck besides him.

If someone falls into the sea, it is most likely that Zhou Shu will become it.

Thinking of this, he quickly got up and ran out.

However, Zhou Shucheng did not fall into the sea.

It was the woman in the couple who fell into the sea.

At this moment, the man was grabbing the railing and crawling out, wanting to jump down to save people, Zhou Shucheng grabbed his hand and beckoned everyone to come over to help.

"Xiaowen, save my Xiaowen, please save her." The man burst into tears and cried out loudly.

Everyone gathered to the bow of the ship, and it was pitch black and there was nothing to be seen, only the sound of the waves crashing against the cruise ship.

Someone turned on the flashlight on the mobile phone, but the bow of the ship was too high from the sea to be useless, and nothing could be seen.

Li Chaoyang stood aside and watched coldly, her ponytail was the most enthusiastic, and she leaned out half of her body to try to search for the woman's figure.

But such an act is undoubtedly futile.

Because the boat is still moving at the moment, if the woman falls from the bow of the boat, then she will be swallowed by the waves in an instant, and even swept to the bottom of the boat and stirred into meat by the propeller.

Li Chaoyang was a little confused, there was a railing more than one meter high on the deck, and the woman would never fall unless she turned over.

His mind couldn't help but think of the movements of the two people before going down, and they seemed to be copying the classic picture on the Titanic.

Could it be that the woman climbed over the railing and accidentally fell down?

Soon the staff arrived and turned on the searchlights.

Under the strong light, everyone saw the surface of the sea this time.

The sea was pitch black, like ink, and the white waves kept crashing against the hull.

The sea was empty, and there was half a figure.

Someone shouted that it might be somewhere else, so the crowd dispersed to help find someone.

The man collapsed to the ground and almost fainted.

"How did she fall?" Ponytail asked eagerly.

The man told the truth in a hurry, it turned out that they were tired of playing and turned over to the outside of the railing in search of excitement, and accidentally the woman fell.

Everyone searched for a long time and found nothing, and the woman disappeared into the long sea.

"Cursed, this is a cursed ship! All of us have to die, we all have to die! "The old woman dressed as a nun, Sumary, reappeared.

She fell limp on the deck and prayed incessantly toward the sea.

Sumarie's words quickly caused a commotion.

The curse, silently, without a trace, no one knows when and in what way the curse will come.

What people are afraid of is not the result of the curse, but the process of the curse, which is like waiting for death.

Simply put, the unknown.

The unknown is always the most terrifying.

It's like being in a huge black hole, and no one knows what's inside.

A cursed ship, although I don't know what this curse is, there are still people who have weak hearts.

It was only the fifth day, and a man died, which was an ominous sign.

In five days, according to the poster, they have reached the sea near Malaysia.

This was felt in the scorching air around them, as they reached the equator.

Not far away, a flash of lightning suddenly swept across the sky.

Then came the dull thunder.

Rainstorms are coming.

Seeing this, Zhou Shucheng stood up and said loudly: "There has never been a curse, it's just a rumor, and now our top priority is to save people......

I have to say that Zhou Shucheng is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and the restless crowd under his command became quiet again.

At this time, everyone knew the name of the young man, his name was Hao Wei, and it was his girlfriend Zhu Xiaowen who fell into the sea.

All the lights on the outside of the cruise ship are turned on, and the surrounding sea is illuminated.

It was suggested that the lifeboat be sent down to have a look, but it was immediately opposed by the manager on duty.

The manager poked his head out of the water with a dark face and said, "Look at the water." ”

When everyone looked closely, they found that several fast-moving inverted triangles appeared on the water, and several gray figures quickly skimmed the water and appeared under the searchlight.

Everyone could see it, it was a shark!

And more than one shark.

Sharks don't appear here for no reason, they must have smelled blood, which means that Zhu Xiaowen is very likely to have been injured.

At this moment, Xiaowen may be floating in the icy waters, reduced to a meal for sharks.

Countless sharks opened their bloody mouths and frantically tore at her corpse, the flesh blurred and miserable.

The sea was red with blood, and in less than half an hour she would have eaten it all.

Ponytail suddenly noticed that Hao Wei's clothes were missing a button, and there was an obvious scratch on his chest, so he turned around and ran to the bow of the boat, turned on the flashlight and checked it carefully.

"What are you looking for?" Li Chaoyang suddenly appeared behind the ponytail, holding a button in his palm.

"How do you know I'm looking for this?" Ponytail took the button and asked with some curiosity.

"I guess, don't you think he's fake?"

"How?"

The corners of Li Chaoyang's mouth hooked a sneer, and said: "I was on the deck just now, he and his girlfriend have been hugging each other, their relationship seems to be very good, after his girlfriend fell into the water, he was going to jump down to save people, but his hand was always grasping the railing, and only one leg was on the outside of the railing, but the supporting foot was standing on the deck, this is clearly acting, don't believe it." ”

Ponytail turned his head to look at Hao Wei, and saw that Hao Wei was no longer crying at this time, and was looking around, and happened to see the ponytail, but immediately turned his head again, and his eyes were obviously dodging.

This guy has a weak heart!

"Just now the two of them were posing as Jack and Ruth, and it was for this reason that the woman took the risk of stepping over the railing, but the reason why she dared to do this was entirely because Hao Wei put his arm around her waist, and if Hao Wei wanted to kill her at this time, she would only need to push her lightly to succeed."

"You suspect it's murder? What about the evidence? Why do you say they're posing? Ponytail asked again.

"There is no evidence, just inference, as for deducing their position at that time, it is also very easy, Hao Wei was injured in the left shoulder, if the two people are facing each other, then Zhu Xiaowen wants to scratch his left shoulder can only be the right hand, but you go to see, his injury is obviously caused by the left hand, which shows that Zhu Xiaowen was facing away from Hao Wei at the time, and when she was pushed down, she instinctively reached out with her backhand and grabbed it, which scratched Hao Wei and ripped off a button."

"Bastard, I'll ask him!"

Saying that he was about to leave with a ponytail, Li Chaoyang reached out and grabbed her.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll ask him, if he kills someone, he will be weak-hearted." Ponytail said indignantly.

"And then? Arrest him? If he can't find the body, he can be sure that this is an accident, and only when he relaxes his vigilance will he have a chance, do you understand criminal psychology? Haven't you ever been to a police academy? ”

"What do you mean?" Ponytail frowned.

"Nothing interesting, what are you doing, do you need me to tell me directly? You've been staring at me all the time, why? Li Chaoyang simply had a showdown, he really hated the feeling of being stared at.

Ponytail clasped hands with a lonely expression.

"Hands wrapped, this is a self-protection action, the corners of the mouth are raised and it seems to be disdainful, but in fact, it is just to hide the panic in my heart, am I right?"

The ponytail's demeanor and movements have completely confirmed Li Chaoyang's judgment.

"What am I? Great writers? ”

Li Chaoyang smiled, he didn't expect that this woman would have already recognized his identity, but it's not strange when he thinks about it, he is a celebrity in the Jiangbei police circle, how many people don't know about being a policeman?

"You know your identity better than me, I won't say it directly, and your ability to stalk and squat is so bad that you just took down all your books in the restaurant."

The ponytail's face flushed, and he continued to quibble: "Nonsense, who is staring at you?" Even if I stare at you, can I prove that I'm a police officer? ”

"Sure, I'm not sure, but you had a panicked look in your eyes when I said you were a policeman, and now your tone is clearly lacking in confidence, just in a dying throe."

Ponytail exhaled, and said with some unconvinced: "They all say that you are good at criminal psychological reasoning, it seems that you live up to your reputation, the Zhao family of three will not be killed by you, right?" ”

"You're just staring at me for this?" Li Chaoyang asked rhetorically.

"How's it going? I always think that you are a thief, are you planning to abscond? I have every reason to suspect you now, and I'm going to arrest you and ask you if you believe it? ”

"You threaten me? Well, you won, but I advise you, this is above the sea, and it's not a good thing for you to reveal your identity easily. After speaking, Li Chaoyang lowered his voice and said, "I guess you are definitely not here for me." ”

Ponytail's face changed again, and he said, "I don't need to report to you what I'm going to do, but you'd better not talk nonsense." ”

"OK, let's treat it as if we haven't seen it before, let's get to know it again, Li Chaoyang, the suspect in your eyes."

Li Chaoyang took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

The ponytail glanced at Li Chaoyang coldly, and he didn't mean to stretch out his hand.

"My name is Tong Fei, I advise you to be honest, I will keep an eye on you."
