A crew member opened the door and entered the house, leaned into the first mate and whispered a few words in his ear, Yan Ruyu vaguely heard a sentence of "found", and saw the first mate hurriedly followed the crew out of the house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Ruyu looked around, and when he saw that there was no one else guarding him, he whispered to Wu Cuo: "What's the matter?" What did you two see? ”

Wu Cuo also wondered: "I didn't see anything, I was knocked unconscious for some reason, beast, did you see it?" ”

Qin Shouru nodded, then shook his head again, "It seems to be ...... I saw a few people......"

"And then?"

"I didn't know what they were doing, and I didn't even say a word before I was knocked unconscious."

"Grass!" Wu mistakenly scolded a swear word, "It's so fucking wrong." ”

Yan Ruyu thought for a while and said: "It's not wrong, they must be doing something wrong, eighty percent of them have broken the law, so they are so afraid of being discovered, and even kidnap the police in order to cover up the truth......"

Bang Chang ...... Bang Chang ......

There was a strange sound.

The three of them were silent, and Yan Ruyu raised his eyebrows at the two, meaning to ask Did you hear it too? Got a nod from the two in reply.

The sound came from a corner of the room.

The room is very large, at least 300 square meters, long in shape, loaded with all kinds of goods, the big ones are speedboats, motorboats, etc., the small ones have life jackets and various colored wooden boxes, I don't know what the wooden boxes contain.

The three of them were tied up in the middle of the room, their view blocked by the cargo, and they could not see the specific situation in the corner where the sound was coming from.

"Wait a minute...... Just ...... Succeeded......" Beads of sweat broke out on Wu Cuo's forehead, and his shoulders trembled twice from time to time, apparently struggling to untie the rope that bound his hands.

"Hoo ......"

After about ten minutes, Wu Cuo breathed a long sigh of relief, let go of his whole body, and finally got his hands in front of him.

His wrists were red, and his hands were purple from lack of blood.

"I ...... Whew...... I'll untie it for you......" Wu Cuo was tired enough, the other party tied a professional sailor knot, and it took a lot of effort to untie it with his forehand, and Wu Cuo was a backhand.

Soon, all three were untied.

Although he knew that it was unlikely to go out, Wu Cuo still went to twist the doorknob.

Sure enough, the door was locked from the outside, and you could faintly hear someone talking outside, apparently the person in charge of guarding them.

"! Damn it! Depend on! I'm scared to death! ”

In the corner, Qin Shouru scolded three times in a row, which showed that he was really frightened.

"Be quiet!" Wu Cuo whispered as he walked towards the corner where the sound came from.

When he got closer, he found that not only Qin Shouru, but even Yan Ruyu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he forcibly covered his mouth so that he didn't make a sound.

It was an iron cage, like a large dog.

There are two ...... in the cage I don't know if they can still be called human.

People are not people, ghosts are not ghosts.

They were swarthy, foul-smelling, and babbling in their mouths. Their mouths were so hollow that they had palpitations, and they had neither teeth nor tongues in their mouths - it looked like they had been cut off.

One of them was also missing an arm, a severed arm from Zigan, whose wound had healed, leaving a hideous scar.

When the two of them saw Yan Ruyu and the others, their eyes were full of desire, and they wanted to reach out and drag them.

"This ...... You guys...... This is ......" Qin Shouru was so frightened that he retreated again and again, hugging one of Yan Ruyu's arms.

"That's probably why they're imprisoning us." Yan Ruyu said.

Wu Cuo also frowned and said, "No matter what the situation is, save people first." ”

"It's not the time to save people, I can't communicate, and I don't know if I want to cause some kind of trouble."

Yan Ruyu said as she reached out and grabbed the arm that was stretched out by one of them through the iron cage and checked it.

"These traces...... Black ...... Is it a tattoo? It's not like ...... It's too rough...... It seems to be a wound after healing, but why is it black?

And their tongues......"

Yan Ruyu pinched the lower bar of one of them and carefully observed his mouth, "The wound is flat, the tongue was cut off with a knife, and it is an old wound...... Who cut out their tongues? ”

Wu Cuo was afraid that the two of them would be mentally abnormal and hurt Yan Ruyu, so he nervously guarded on the side.

"Which countries does the Empress pass through?" Yan Ruyu asked.

No one answered.

He had no choice but to pat Qin Shouru beside him, and when Qin Shouru eased up, he repeated the question again.

"Ah...... That one...... Passing Countries...... Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore...... I don't remember exactly, but I was wandering around Southeast Asia anyway. ”

"How many days will this ship stay in China?" Yan Ruyu asked again.

"In just half a day, the cruise ship set sail from Vietnam, first to China, then to a three-day sea cruise, then to Singapore, Hong Kong, continue the sea cruise, and finally to Thailand ......"

"Vietnam...... Vietnamese ......" Yan Ruyu carefully looked at the two people in the iron cage, "Did you get on the ship from Vietnam?" ”

Yan Ruyu tried to search for clues from them, but the clothes of these two people were so tattered that they were wrapped in a few sacks, and they couldn't find anything identical.

Just as Yan Ruyu was rummaging, Qin Shouru on the side muttered a few words.

As soon as his words came out, the two people in the cage instantly became extremely excited, and they kept scratching the iron cage with their hands.

"Do you know Vietnamese?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"Some of the temples and trails in Vietnam are quite beautiful, and when I went there, I learned a few words from the tour guide, and they seemed to understand...... It should really be Vietnamese. ”

Yan Ruyu nodded, "Boarding the ship from Vietnam, is it a stowaway who secretly boarded the boat?" Or was he caught on board?

Who would catch such a person? It wasn't caught on the boat, it was supposed to be a stowaway...... Can't survive in the local area? …… And the black marks on his body...... I know! ”

Yan Ruyu clapped his hands, "It's coal!" ”

"What?"

"I read a news report about absenteeism in a black coal kiln.

The working conditions were extremely harsh, with the danger of landslides at any time, the food was poor, and the working hours were more than 14 hours a day, similar to that of slaves.

If you dare to run away, you will be beaten at least if you are caught, and at worst you will have your hands and feet cut off.

Those mine owners lost their conscience, made an example of each other, and did not care about human life at all.

That's what they should have escaped from this little coal kiln. The black marks on their bodies were the result of their injuries. After the injury, he went down to the mine without any protection, and the soot fell into the wound, forming the black marks that now look like tattoos. ”

Yan Ruyu said to Qin Shouru, "Can you communicate with them?" Ask them why they're being locked up here. ”

Qin Shouru spread his hands and shook his head, "As long as I have a three-legged cat foreign language, I can say hello, besides...... People are mute. ”

"I probably know why they're being locked up here, and what the first mate plans to do with them. ”

"Oh?"

"In the past, when I talked to the coast guard, they talked about this situation -- that is, stowaways sneaked onto cargo ships. Do you know what the people on the boat do with these stowaways? ”

"What to do?"

"On the high seas, force them to jump into the sea."
