Looking at Mu Zihan after returning to the cabin, he sat down on the broken sofa without saying a word, and I also sat quietly next to him not far away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, from all the signs just now, I have already seen that if nothing else, the captain of the ship had been attacked and secretly abandoned the boat last night.

And judging from the fact that there is no sound of water and cries for help, it is obvious that the method used by the murderer is similar to what Mu Zihan said just now. Well, even at the time of the first attack, the ship boss was still alive. But in that state, being put into the turbulent Mekong River, even if the boat boss has been begging for a living on the water for so many years, the water is good, and it is estimated that he has been more than lucky.

The main thing is that the ship has not docked since it left the shore yesterday. Therefore, the murderer of the ship boss is only likely to be among these crew members.

Hey, I really didn't expect that we had just left the country, and we hadn't even arrived in the Golden Triangle, so we encountered such a thing.

You know, we're not in the country right now, with the help of the police. To put it mildly, the chaos here, even if Mu Zihan and I find out the murderer, what can we do to him. It may even annoy him, make him fierce, bring big trouble to ourselves, and affect our true purpose this time.

Thinking of this, I really want to advise Mu Zihan to leave this matter alone. Anyway, in this beautiful "Ghost Gate", this kind of thing is not so unusual. After all, compared to the case of the "Butterfly" organization, if such a trivial matter hinders the action, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, and taking care of small things and losing big things.

However, when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say anything when I saw Mu Zihan's expression.

Seeing that I wanted to stop talking, Mu Zihan smiled bitterly and said, "I know what you want to say, and I understand, but unfortunately, I can't do it." I don't care about anything else that happens, but since it's happening right under my nose, I have to take care of it. Otherwise, as you said before, I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

"Although I am not the kind of person who flaunts justice and law, I also have my own principles. Moreover, speaking of which, this ship boss can be regarded as having helped us, and we must be worthy of our conscience when we are a man and do things. The more Mu Zihan said, the more resolute he became: "So, no matter what, I must find out the truth about this case." ”

Seeing that he had said it to this point, I knew that it was useless for me to persuade him. What's more, I was still hesitating in the first place. So I could only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman and go on a hard game with him. Hey, the only thing I regret now is that when I met Fang Ling yesterday, why didn't I ask her for a self-defense weapon? That way, at least if necessary, we can both protect ourselves.

"This ship is not big, except for the captain, there are only 6 crew members in total. One thing that is certain now is that the murderer must be among these 6 people. I mused, "And, since we have decided to investigate, we must hasten our actions, and we must find out about it before we disembark in the afternoon." ”

"That's right." Mu Zihan looked at the time: "It's already 8 o'clock in the morning, and yesterday the boat boss said that they would dock at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, that is, there are still 5 hours." ”

As he spoke, he stood up: "Siyuan, we have to speed up our movements, since there are murderers in these 6 crew members who attacked the ship's boss, then we can't fully trust them." So, we're going to have to go and inspect the whole ship again. ”

"Hmm." I answered, got up at the same time, and left the cabin with Mu Zihan. It was up to the two of us to re-inspect the ship.

Fortunately, the ship is really small, except for the accident of the cabin for the crew to rest, there are only two cargo holds on the left and one on the right at the bottom of the ship, as well as a control room.

We first went to the aft control room, where we saw a crew member at the helm. Moreover, the entire control room was small, only enough for two or three people to stand.

It seems that after a lap, I saw that there was nothing else to be found except for the bunch of unintelligible keys. So, after looking at the middle-aged crew member and asking a few questions, Mu Zihan turned around and left.

"He said he was in charge of the first half of the night last night, so at 12 o'clock, he went back to the cabin to rest." Mu Zihan said: "Moreover, the last person to see the boss of the boat is him." According to him, on the way back to the cabin to rest after the shift with another member of his crew last night, the captain he saw was standing alone on the bow deck. It's just that at that time, the boat boss seemed to be smoking worriedly, so he didn't even see him say hello. ”

"Oh." I nodded as I followed Mu Zihan into the bottom cargo hold. Coincidentally, I saw a relatively young crew member, who happened to come out of the cargo hold.

After Mu Zihan's translation, it turned out that this crew member was actually the nephew of the ship boss, and because the ship boss had been running the ship for most of his life, he had not married a wife and had children, so he had always regarded this nephew as his son. Therefore, in recent years, I have taken him to run a boat together, hoping that when he is old, he can inherit his own industry.

According to the nephew of the ship boss. He was on duty in the second half of the night yesterday, so around 12 o'clock, he went to hand over the crew who was on duty in the first half of the night. However, he said that when he passed the bow deck, he did not see the ship's boss.

After agreeing to the two of us walking around the ship on our own, we said goodbye to the young crew, or rather, now that the ship's boss had disappeared, he had become the temporary petty boss of the ship.

"It's really strange that both of them were on duty at 12 o'clock, why did one say he saw the captain smoking on the bow deck, but the other said he didn't." I accompanied Mu Zihan and walked around the boxes to inspect them, and asked suspiciously.

"Quite simply, one of them is lying." Mu Zihan replied.

"However, for now, I think this small boss is the most suspicious. After all, if the ship's boss dies, he will benefit the most. I solemnly said, "It's just, if that's the case, it's too obvious." I feel that it's not that simple. ”

"yes, I think so, too." Mu Zihan nodded in agreement: "Moreover, the main thing now is that if the crew member in the control room is not lying, then why did the ship boss be alone on the bow deck last night, smoking with a worried face?" Is he waiting for someone, or is he relieving his boredom? Does this have anything to do with his murder? And what made him so worried, and even caused him to kill because of it? But if the crew member was lying, then why was he lying? It seems that it is necessary for us to ask the other four crew members......"

However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly walked to a wooden cargo box that was placed in the cabin for exchange, bowed his head and confessed his guilt.
