Chapter 231: Strange Rules

"You four come to this place so late at night...... Why? The middle-aged man suddenly asked.

"Oh, we ......," Arwen was about to reply.

"Are you police?" He then asked.

"Why...... Think we're cops? I asked him rhetorically.

"Didn't there be a murder over there! During this time, the police often come to ...... We didn't dare to come here to fish for days! He replied.

"We are not policemen, we are friends of the deceased, in order to find the murderer as soon as possible, let's come over to check and see if we can find any clues that the police have not noticed, such as you, you may have been fishing here that night, you may have just seen some situation......" I tried to guide him.

"Didn't see anything." He replied coldly.

"Oh, the moon was better that night than tonight, and the visibility was good, alas...... It would be nice to be able to see something. Thank you, let's go ahead and ask. "Dr. Liu gave me a look.

"By the way, I want to ask you again, have the police looked for you?" I turned around and asked.

"Nope." His tone was still cold.

We had no choice but to keep going.

Turning the two large rocks in front of us, we saw a man in the corner, like a ghost, sitting on a small bench, leaning against the reef, with his eyes fixed on the end of the fishing rod.

This person is relatively thin, has a small face, and seems to be a little hunchbacked.

"Hello, sorry to excuse me." Dr. Liu stepped forward to say hello.

"It's okay, are you here to catch crabs?" He looked up at us.

"Huh...... Not so interested. Dude, did you have a big harvest tonight? Physician Liu asked with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay." He's the same thing.

We looked at each other.

"I've only caught three, my goal is twenty-five, and if I can't finish it, my living expenses will be ...... tomorrow," he said with a sad face.

"Oh, good luck then!" Ah Jin responded.

"I see you guys coming all the time, is there something you want to ask?" He continued.

"yes......" I immediately understood, and handed him a pack of cigarettes.

"I wanted to know about the murder that happened on that section of the road ahead and ...... that night," I continued.

He took the pack of cigarettes and blinked.

"You don't need to say it, I heard what you said to the fat boy just now...... Actually, we've all seen something and heard it...... Alas, that girl, what a miserable! He sighed suddenly.

"You see it...... Still hear?! We shouted in unison.

"Here are three hundred dollars, you can take them for supper later...... Can you tell us a little bit about what's going on? We were friends with the murdered girl, and we were very anxious to ...... "I took out the money and stuffed it into his palm."

I got closer, I could see his facial features, although the night was very dark, but at such a close distance, I could see that his facial features looked very strange, his whole nose was crooked, it was estimated that he had been traumatized, and there was a large pink tumor behind his ear, which was very conspicuous.

"How long have you been night fishing?" I pry away from the topic.

He slowly put the money in his satchel and looked at me unhurriedly, with a slightly strange look in his eyes.

"For the past six months, we've been fishing here every night for a few nights." He nodded.

"You also came here very early on the night of the accident?" Dr. Liu asked immediately.

"Yes, we usually come out at about 9 o'clock in the evening, and when we start fishing, it is about 10 o'clock. That night, before twelve o'clock, the murder happened, and at first, I heard someone shouting for help, and then I stood up and saw there......" He stood up and pointed to the sidewalk in the distance.

"See what?!" My eyes widened.

"I saw two people, one man grabbed the girl, and after she shouted for help, he covered her mouth with something, and the other took a knife and slashed desperately, and soon, the person was killed! It's terrifying......" he palpitated.

"Two people?!" Dr. Liu and I were taken aback.

"yes, I saw the shadows of two men. Later, the fat boy also said that he saw two men. The girl died a terrible death...... In less than two minutes, he died...... The two men, unhurried, took care of the traces around them, and stayed for a minute or two before leaving......" He sat down and continued to describe.

"Still a minute or two?!" I whispered.

"You were so accurate?" I then asked.

"Yes, I was scared at the time, because we night fishers have an unwritten rule...... he replied.

"Unwritten rules?" Arwen frowned.

"Yes, don't look at ghosts when fishing at night, don't squeak when you see ghosts." He replied in a low voice.

"Don't look at ghosts when fishing at night, don't squeak when you see ghosts?" Dr. Liu repeated, muttering to himself.

"It's a ghost blowing out the lamp, right?" Ah Jin asked suddenly.

I slapped him and told him to stop talking.

"The girl died in front of us, we just saw it, but we can't say it's the norm...... Even if some of our peers are fishing at night and see something unclean, whether it is in the water or on the shore, we can't tell anyone about it...... Just burn some paper money in that place afterwards, and you'll be fine! He continued.

"Ah......h

"I'm very honest, for your sake, I'll tell you for the sake of your three hundred dollars...... I'm going to bring some paper money tomorrow night and burn it there. In this way, everyone is safe. He bit his lip.

"Did the police come looking for you?" Physician Liu asked suddenly.

"Yes, after the murder that night, we left and we didn't go fishing there for a while, but when we came back last week, a couple of police officers came, but we didn't tell them...... Because we are afraid that if we break the rules, we will not have peace......" he said honestly.

I took out another two hundred pieces and stuffed them into him.

"Thank you...... Can you tell us more details? I looked at him.

"Okay, it's all about anyway." He still stuffed the money into his satchel unhurriedly.

At this time, my phone rang, and it was Han Bing calling.

"Brother Qian, where are you? What just happened...... I feel so cold......" Her voice trembled a little.

"I'm busy outside, you can rest first and drink some hot water. It's already one o'clock in the night, you can sleep well, I'll look for you tomorrow morning? I replied in a low voice.

"Still busy so late?" She was curious.

"It's serious, we'll see you tomorrow." I replied.

"Okay...... Then I'll go to sleep first, you...... Be careful. Her tone was full of concern.
