An endless stream of people watched, men and women, young and old, pointing and pointing. There are no survivors, the cause of the accident is yet to be investigated, and the deceased are all in a state of weak water death; The lips are blue, the ears and nose are bleeding, and a small amount of air bubbles are coming out of the lower end of the nose.

After forensic identification, the deceased died of asphyxiation due to weak water. The relevant departments identified the cause of the accident and preliminarily identified it as an accident caused by the ship's disrepair, illegal driving, and serious overloading. Naturally, the responsible person is Wu Boss, who makes money by ferrying without permission, collects ferry fees, and gives the victim a form of cooperation that has reached the kind of tacit understanding between consumers and operators.

At the beginning of the orderly claim on the spot, some people howled and cried, and some people scolded the black-hearted boss for harming people. Zhong Kui closed his eyes slightly, his heart was messy, and he didn't dare to say anything. Even if it is said, who will believe his words in this case? It is better to remain silent and wait and see how things change.

A very unexpected scene finally appeared under his patient waiting, and Boss Lu and his hob meat lady appeared in Zhong Kui's sight. Because of the panic, they didn't notice Zhong Kui who was hiding in the crowd, and walked straight to the exit of the cordon to go through the claim procedures.

What I didn't expect was that the body that Boss Lu wanted to claim was actually the one who pushed Zhong Kui aside and jumped on the boat desperately.

Zhong Kui remembered correctly, after Xiao Xu got on the boat, he didn't see this person in the unobstructed side of the boat. It should have been pushed away later and put on the boat.

The howl of Lu's wife did not arouse people's sympathy, but disgusted. Some people watched coldly, while others pouted and ignored them. Judging from all kinds of signs, it can be seen that Mrs. Lu does not get along well with these neighbors.

The captain of the ship was taken away, and the matters related to the claim still depend on whether he is in the insurance company to decide.

The other corpses have been claimed one after another after going through the relevant procedures, and what makes Zhong Kui feel strange is that Xiao Xu's body has not been seen from beginning to end.

The salvage work stopped, and the firefighters announced that the people killed, including the proprietor's wife, were a total of ten people. And all have been claimed, and they are ready to retreat.

"No, it's eleven people." Zhong Kui suddenly shouted. He felt that Xiao Xu must still be waiting for them to go salvage in the cold river, so when he saw that the salvage personnel were about to leave, he couldn't help but shout.

When he shouted, Boss Lu, who was squatting beside his wife to comfort him, also hurriedly looked at him.

The firefighter, who was tired enough, sneered at this Zhong Kui, who was not amazing-looking, dark-skinned, and strange-looking, and said, "What are you yelling about, what do you know?" ”

Zhong Kui also felt that his approach was a bit reckless, why should people believe the words of a person who is not a local? Hurriedly explained: "Well, I don't understand anything, I just think that if you continue to salvage, maybe you can salvage other people ashore." ”

"Did you see with your own eyes that there were eleven people on the ship?" A firefighter who seemed to be very serious, stopped the team member who wanted to get angry, and asked Zhong Kui with a pleasant face.

Zhong Kui hesitated, he saw with his own eyes that it was eleven people, but when the accident happened, he was in a state of fainting. How to describe the weird picture that happened later, and who will believe it? What's more, the salvaged ships do have potential safety hazards -

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but my instinct is that you should work harder to salvage this distance upstream."

This seems to be a leader, and as an industry that serves the people, he has no right to refuse the demands of this peasant. However, what he said was not substantiated, and it was not easy to convince the other team members to carry out the salvage work.

Zhong Kui was in dire need of supporters now, and he set his sights on Boss Lu.

Boss Lu's wife is complaining about her husband because of the incident at home, which was originally unlucky. He's still dragging his feet to find some Mr. Ghost Hunter, let's see! Not to mention the time delay, he also killed his younger brother. She blamed all this on the theft of the girl's bones.

Boss Lu has his own opinions, and his temper is also rough. But it's quite moral, and I know a little more about the world than my wife. Both of them are famous for their hot tempers, the so-called: water chestnut to zongzi tip to tip, will be a small quarrel in three days, and a big quarrel in five days.

At this time, seeing Zhong Kui's gaze asking for help at him, he stood up freely and faced the questioning firefighter, and swore solemnly: "I dare to guarantee that what this big brother said is definitely true." Believe him once and try. ”

As soon as Boss Lu's words came out, there were immediately echoes from nearby acquaintances who knew him, and they all asked the fire brigade that was ready to be withdrawn to be salvaged from the upstream one by one again.

With the pleas of the people, the fire brigade did not end well. had to be patient and once again plunged into the cumbersome salvage operation of manpower and material resources. Zhong Kui stood on the bow of the salvage ship, his face solemn and worried. Complex mentality, I don't know how to describe it. He was afraid to see Xiao Xu's body really salvaged ashore, and he also looked forward to the fire brigade really salvaging her body.

As the minutes passed, there seemed to be no progress in the salvage work. The crowd of onlookers followed from downstream to upstream, and when they saw that there was no result, they gradually left.

In the end, even Zhong Kui was discouraged, and at the same time felt embarrassed to face the fire brigade that had worked hard for most of the day. didn't dare to say more, just silently followed the salvage team to prepare to return downstream.

At this moment, someone exclaimed; "Hey! There is something. This exclamation drew everyone's attention. I saw that on their grappling hooks, they scratched a bag of things in snakeskin pockets.

The snakeskin pocket was already crawling with some plankton and moss, and no one knew what it contained. Anyway, when he saw this scene, Zhong Kui's heart was extremely disappointed.

He was very puzzled about what had happened before, how could he see Xiao Xu so coincidentally. Why was her smile so weird after the last person got on board?

It was the shouting of the firefighter next to him that interrupted Zhong Kui's chaotic thoughts, there was a female corpse in the snakeskin pocket!

The female corpse was badly decomposed, and her facial features had been eaten by fish, turning beyond recognition. But the clothes on her body frightened Zhong Kui. Isn't this the dress Xiao Xu is wearing? Blue bottoms, fine plaid shirt -

The situation after that surprised Zhong Kui. At the bottom of the snakeskin pocket, there is an empty wallet, and in the wallet there is something that proves the identity of the deceased. ID card –

Is she Xiao Xu?

Zhong Kui was stunned - he couldn't believe that Xiao Xu, who had a good nature, actually used him to kill a boatload of innocent people. How did this boatload of people provoke her, and how did she die in the river? And put in a snakeskin bag and sunk into the river?
