Chapter 80: The Tempest
In the southeastern Pacific Ocean, as the seas move into the tropics, more frequent typhoons and currents create huge winds and waves on the broken island chain.
This pleasure boat is on such a sea area, a fallen leaf swaying and fluctuating on the sea surface with the wind and waves.
"It's unlucky to be home." The locust was suffocating the fire in his belly, and he was worried that he had nowhere to go, and his burly figure walked all the way through the corridor, called a few boatmen who were cleaning the floor, and gave him a hard beating.
"Fuck." The locusts instructed the boatmen to tidy up the ballroom and close the windows tightly. He sat alone in the center, leg raised, one eye closed, and his whole body radiated anger.
"I think the facts of the case are probably clear." Li Yi stood beside the locust, and from the time the accident on the boat to the present, Li Yi has followed the locust almost every step of the way. Although the locusts did not ask for this, Li Yi knew that the ship was not peaceful now.
"Are you still thinking about that?" Locust was no longer interested in the matter of the case, he was angry, but he was polite to Li Yi. "Don't bother with this anymore, if you have any ideas, get off the boat."
Li Yi was silent, and the locusts knew that there was turmoil now, so they began to explain their purpose.
"I haven't told you about that yet." Locust broke away a few boatmen, and there was no music and sheng song and swallow dance in the huge dance hall, and only Locust and Li Yi were left.
The locust was huge, and Li Yi was as thin as a piece of paper.
"If you go south from here, you can see the land." Locust frowned, his words didn't sound like a conversation, but there were only the two of them in the room, and it didn't look like he was talking to anyone else.
"Haven't you always wondered where the hell are we doing things?" Locust asked.
His face was gloomy, and the cold rain outside the house crackled on the cruise ship, making a sobbing sound, and from time to time the hull was washed over by the giant lightning and eddies that lit up the gap between the sea and the sky.
The face of the locust was particularly hideous in such a flickering situation.
Li Yi frowned and looked at the locusts, all the electrical equipment in the dance hall was stopped, and there was not even a single light left.
"You'll know when you get ashore." Locust said.
"Lao Tzu used to come all the way, what was it called at that time?" The locust spoke to himself, his eyes suddenly glanced out of the window, looking at the wind and rain, and there was a trace of warm vortex in the eyes of this fierce man with a face as hard as steel.
"Friend, huh." The locust sneered. "That thing is too hypocritical, I don't believe it. But at that time, it wasn't like this, and after coming all the way, didn't you know what business you were doing? ”
Li Yi didn't say a word, but the locust didn't feel awkward, what he needed now was such a silent response, or maybe only in such a situation would he have the heart to tell the story.
"But who didn't have a few minds when they were young? I used to just think about making money, for what? If you have money in your hand, your brother's life can be held, who cares what you do at that time? Just if you have this. ”
The locust clenched his fist.
Getting what he wanted from strength, Li Yi always thought that Locust was such a pure person, but at this time he saw a different side. He frowned, and the light of the lightning shone tremblingly over the side of the locust's face, and scars spread and crawled half of his body.
"Lao Tzu has this strength, what about him, he can be counted here in Nanyang
A shrewd businessman, just like that, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and this is a clear road. But, Mr. Li Yi, I want to ask you. ”
The locust suddenly turned to Li Yi, with a cold gaze.
"Do you have any friends?" The locust asked with a cold face.
Li Yi didn't say anything, he looked at the locust hesitantly, a little dazed.
"Maybe there was, at least not now." Li Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with such an answer, in fact, he didn't know what a friend was?
"Haha, that's what happened." The locusts laughed. "There's nothing new under the sun, and whoever hasn't experienced it, you can guess. Where there is anything legal to do business, where to come from what is self-made. At that time, this boy I mean the so-called friend, alas......"
The locust sighed.
"He sold Lao Tzu." The locust slammed his fist into the table, the long dining table shook and shook, and then a high wave passed through the whole yacht, and the locust sat still, but from his beard to his body was stained with seawater.
"It's very simple to say, it's a trivial matter, this guy changed his wealth to fund insurance, I don't know what he did, Lao Tzu's career, not only is there no money left, this guy also transferred Lao Tzu's ass debt here."
The locusts knocked on the hull of the ship.
"Hmph. Unexpectedly, this is also a road. ”
"Drugs?" Li Yi asked in a low voice.
"What else could it be?" The locusts grinned. "Where are there so many bullshit friendships in this world? In the end, it's all fucking money if you don't pay it back. ”
Seeing that Li Yi didn't say anything, the locust sighed heavily again and said slowly.
"Lao Tzu mentioned before, it was also at that time, Lao Tzu originally had a home, but because of such a farce, hum." The locust's hand was clenched into a fist, and the sound of squeezing vigorously sounded.
"Don't worry, Lao Tzu needs a right-hand man." The locust suddenly sighed, his hideous face became tepid, Li Yi was not the first time to see him with such a look, although he knew that there was a lot of hidden feelings and blood behind this man, but under the gray waves of the sky, Li Yi was a little moved.
"Lao Tzu won't attack you, after you go out, do you want to use Lao Tzu? Yes, Lao Tzu can promise to you, you can rest assured, as long as you go out of this sea, in the future, you will fight with Lao Tzu. ”
"What camaraderie? Bullshit! The locust smiled bitterly and explained his theory. Taking advantage of each other, Lao Tzu has seen a lot, and to be honest, this is the most stable relationship. ”
Li Yi did not refute this statement of the locust, he carefully experienced the feelings of the locust, but he could not understand it.
"Good job."
The locust said heartily. Although he is still burly, in Li Yi's opinion, he is a little lonely.
"As for the woman you're talking about, haha." The locust smiled and said, "You put your heart in your stomach, and when you get to the land, it is Lao Tzu's territory, and it is easy to find someone." ”
Li Yi nodded and didn't say anything more.
After two hours in the storm, the rain gradually stopped. Li Yi didn't feel much about the locust's words, but was more interested in the mystery on the ship. When he was bored, he decided to continue surveying the scene.
Locusts drank wine alone in the dance hall, and Li Yi took the opportunity to come to the cabin. The ship was still dangling, and he clung to the wall of the cabin, step by step towards the scene, the wooden floor letting out a tearing howl and dragging long
The tones echoed through the long corridors.
Li Yi walked forward cautiously, passing through the processing room, the sound of the soles of his feet became more and more vague, he was worried that such a ground might break at any time, and to be honest, the first time he saw such a strong wind, whether this medium-sized yacht could hold up, Li Yi was not sure at all.
However, after taking a few more steps, he suddenly realized something, and a light flashed in his mind.
"Moham." He pondered for a moment, and immediately hurried to the scene. Pushing open the door, the rain and blood were mixed together, and the pattern of the scene had already been destroyed, if it weren't for Li Yi's special instructions, even the room might have been cleaned.
Li Yi gently patted the wall, although the hull was mostly made of metal, but when he touched the wall of the symmetrical structure of this room, he felt a different texture.
Li Yi secretly wrote down the location, and entered the center of the room again, the floor was almost stained red with blood. The sheer amount of bleeding and the residual warmth of the blood are proof that someone died not long ago.
But is it really that simple? Li Yi was still thinking, why was there no trace on the blood, and the locusts entered the room unimpeded?
He touched the ground, but unfortunately there was not even the only evidence now. And the disposal of corpses on the sea is very simple, if the murderer throws the corpse directly into the sea, they will not be able to investigate at all, then everything is empty talk.
Will there really be a perfect crime? Of course Li Yi didn't believe it. If the body is thrown from the window, there may be traces, Li Yi thought so, climbed onto the bed, and looked out through the lattice window, and the scene he saw in the room was simply two worlds.
Although it was still afternoon, the sky was already like midnight, the rumbling thunder flashed in the sky, the low-pressure rain clouds shrouded Li Yi's head, I don't know if it was waves or rain in the dark, Li Yi's face was wet for a while, and even his hair became sticky.
Looking at such a scene, Li Yi suddenly heard something, for a while he felt a little familiar, and before he could think about it, a huge wave came, and Li Yi staggered and was thrown to the ground, his hands and waist were almost twisted at ninety degrees.
He patted the dirt on his body, stood up helplessly, and suddenly thought of something.
"At that time, it was obviously a clear sky, how could there be such a violent tremor?" Li Yi's head thundered, remembering what happened in the morning, wasn't he also outside the window at that time.
But how could there be such a violent shaking on the calm sea? Li Yi suddenly realized that this might be the breakthrough of the case, and he racked his brains and began to think about the connection between the two things.
As the hull of the ship was constantly stirred violently by the water like a mixer, and the layout of the whole room was messed up, Li Yi picked up the damp books scattered on the ground.
"Jitter?" Li Yi was stunned and stood up, with irrepressible joy on his face. "I see!"
He shouted, clutching the two books in his hands, his voice a little hoarse.
However, just as he was excited, a scream suddenly came from next door. Li Yi hurriedly opened the door, and it was Sally standing outside the room, she was drenched, her hands covered her chest, and she looked like she was being doused by the waves.
Li Yi was about to step forward to comfort him, but Li Yi's gaze froze.
He grabbed Sally's wrist and stopped the little girl behind him, his heart almost raising his throat, but years of experience prevented him from shouting.
Li Yi's face turned pale, and he began to realize that things were really going towards the worst.
