Artificial island 15 years ago

The homicide has not yet been exposed, and the only people who know the existence of the body are Xiao Chen, Xiaodou, Yueyue and Kanghong. Xiaodou thought that when he went downstairs, he would definitely see Lao Li who was back in the hotel, but after looking at it for a long time, there was no Lao Li downstairs.

It stands to reason that Lao Li should have returned to the hotel before. At noon, Lao Li met Kang Hong in front of the board house, and after the two of them said a few words, he went to the dock, because he vaguely saw that Kang Ju seemed to be on the dock, and he seemed to be worried about going over to take a look.

But he didn't find Kang Ju, he just counted the goods again, and then returned to the front of the board room, where Kang Hong worked in the warehouse, and unexpectedly met Kang Ju. At that time, Kang Hong was also asking where his daughter was, and then Lao Li took Kang Ju back to the direction of the hotel, except for Kang Hong, Xiaodou, Xiao Chen and Yue Yue didn't know about these actions.

They were never seen out again in the afternoon. So normally, Lao Li and Kang Ju should have stayed in the hotel in the afternoon. But Xiaodou, Xiao Chen, and the aunts have been tossing in the hotel for so long. I didn't see them either, which is indeed a bit strange.

Xiaodou didn't care about what happened to Lao Li, he just kept worrying about whether the corpse in the kitchen would be Kang Ju, watching Xiao Chen and Yan Nuogu talking, he didn't have time to notice him, Xiaodou looked at the kitchen, bathroom and a few places where people could hide again, and found no signs, it seemed that it had already returned to normal.

Out of the corner of Yan Nuogu's eyes, he glanced at Xiaodou and asked him, "What are you looking for?" ”

Bean replied pretending to be nonchalant. "I'm looking for the manager of this hotel, where did he go in the afternoon?" ”

"I don't know, huh? Isn't Lao Li supposed to be in the hotel? After he reminded him like this, Yan Nuogu also paid attention to Lao Li and said: "He always likes to stand at the counter in the afternoon, writing and calculating his account books, why is there no one today?" ”

Yan Nuogu's words suddenly aroused everyone's curiosity, and everyone consciously began to look for the manager of the hotel, and Xiaodou reminded him at this time: "It seems that Xiaoju hasn't seen it for a long time." ”

As soon as he said this, Xiao Chen's voice came from upstairs: "Xiao Ju is helping to sort out the goods on the dock, and it will probably be done in the evening." ”

"How do you know? Weren't you still looking for her just now? Xiaodou immediately asked rhetorically.

Xiao Chen's voice was very impatient: "Ask Uncle Kang specifically, I'm not free now." ”

"Ugh! All right. Xiaodou had no choice but to give up and turn his gaze to Convoy, he wanted to hear what Convoy had to say.

The topic changed suddenly, and Kang Hong was a little unexpected, he knew that Xiao Chen said that Xiao Ju went to the dock, and this sentence was lying. Because he had been in the warehouse just now, he didn't see Xiao Ju and Lao Li come out after returning to the hotel.

Why is this kid lying, really! Kang Hong thought to himself, but he knew very well that Xiao Chen would say this, which proved that Kang Ju must have been hidden by Xiao Chen, so he didn't have to worry about Kang Ju's safety.

Xiaodou next to him also had the same idea as him, and Xiao Chen's words somewhat reassured the young man, which showed that the corpse was very likely not Kang Ju. Xiaodou is still sure that Xiao Chen is sincere to Kang Ju, just because he has seen that kind of confused and affectionate eyes on the dock walkway.

Kang Hong said to everyone: "Don't look for it again, since Xiao Chen said that Xiao Ju is on the dock, then he must have confirmed it." You all do your job, do it if you have a job, go back to your room and rest if you don't have a job, and you have to work until late at night. ”

Convoy meant to drive everyone away, and he didn't want these people to stay in the hotel. Although there are only a few places on the artificial island, the situation is special now, and it is not good that there are too many people in the hotel.

In fact, there were not many people in the hall, except for the two aunts, there were three or four workers standing there. Those people seemed to listen to Convoy when Lao Li was away. Maybe it's because Convoy is older and has been on the artificial island for a long time.

These three or four workers are full-time divers on the island, and today is the time to clean up the rubbish from the bottom of the lake. And after Lao Li disappeared, the cargo ships on the dock didn't know when they could sail, and everyone was waiting for the person in charge to give instructions.

They briefly told Convoy about these things, and Convoy said: "Otherwise, it will be a day late, and then travel tomorrow, Lao Li will not leave for no reason, he may have something to deal with, and he will be back soon, and besides, the customer did not call to urge those products, and it is not a big deal to put them on the boat for one night." ”

"What about the garbage at the bottom of the lake? Are we going to go down and clean up today? The workers asked.

"The garbage at the bottom of the lake has always been transported out with the boat, since the boat does not sail, you don't have to go down today, go down early tomorrow morning, the last time is less than a month away, it's okay, when Lao Li comes back, I will tell him, do you want to do your own thing first."

As soon as Convoy said this, several workers were relieved, anyway, these things have always been decided by the old people on the island. After greeting the workers, they walked towards their homes. There was no television or any interesting entertainment, and when they had free afternoons, they had to spend their time playing cards and smoking.

Next, it was the turn of the two aunts, Yan Nuogu had already entered the kitchen at this time, and he probably wanted to tidy up the kitchen by himself. Xiaodou pulled Yueyue and followed him silently towards the kitchen.

Yueyue wanted to back down, but Xiaodou tightened her hand and said, "It's okay, let's go help." After speaking, he also glanced at Yannuogu's back.

Yan Nuogu looked very relaxed, since he didn't notice anything unusual in the kitchen, that is, the kitchen had been cleaned in a short period of time, and the body must have been hidden

Yueyue is not a stupid girl, so she entered the kitchen by herself by Xiaodoula, sure enough. Except for the extra lid on the water tank, the water stains on the kitchen floor have been mopped. Only the rotting fish heads and crate planks from the warehouse remained.

Yan Nuogu crossed his waist and said, "It's really troublesome!" Those aunts don't finish their work before leaving, but now it's okay, I can only do it myself. ”

"Let's help out and it won't take up too much time." Xiaodou said at the door: "However, you just left me in the kitchen to help clean up, and your behavior of slipping away by yourself is not very authentic." I'm a guest, if you tell Lao Li, will he deduct your salary? ”

"I won't deduct my salary, but they will scold me and say I'm surprisingly lazy." Yan Nuogu replied, he still looked like he didn't care.

Xiaodou let go of Yueyue's hand, asked her to move a small wooden stool, and sat in a corner of the kitchen, and waited until Yueyue sat down, Xiaodou continued to ask: "Then are you willing to be scolded?" ”

"You're such a funny person to talk to! Who wants to be scolded? Would you like to? Yan Nuogu looked back at Xiaodou with an inquiry in his eyes, he didn't understand what Xiaodou was saying this?
