Chapter 22 Be nosy

In the following time, Mu Zihan and I thoroughly inspected the entire ship, inside and out, but unfortunately, except for the blood stains mixed in the rust on the bow of the ship, and the wooden box that might be a smuggling of arms, we didn't find anything suspicious.

Of course, when we met the crew, we also asked them if they had seen the captain on the bow deck at 12 o'clock last night. Incredibly, the answers were surprisingly consistent. actually said that during the shift handover last night, the boat boss was seen smoking in the bow of the boat.

In this way, that is, the little boss was the only one who didn't see the boat boss at that time. At this time, both me and Mu Zihan began to doubt the words of this little boss. After all, the three of them became tigers, and everyone said that they saw it, why was it only him who said he didn't see it, could it really be that he was lying?

But he felt that something was wrong, first, he didn't know that we were detectives and were secretly investigating this matter. After all, we are now friends with the boat boss, and we happen to be going to the Golden Triangle, so we just took a ride. So, what is the need for him to orchestrate lies to deceive us?

Second, even if he wants to lie, why would he tell a lie that is so easy to debunk? Is it just to get rid of the suspicion that he might attack the ship's boss? However, isn't it self-defeating to debunk a lie so easily?

Anyway, all kinds of signs point to the possibility of this murderer to this little boss.

"It's eleven o'clock, and there's only two hours left." After returning to the cabin, I took out some biscuits from my travel bag and said worriedly, "Although all the clues now point to the little boss, I don't think it's that simple." Let's just say that I saw the ship boss, I don't believe everyone saw it, why didn't he see it? Could it really be that coincidental? ”

"That's right, there must be something in between. It's just ......" Mu Zihan said this, paused again, and looked like he wanted to say something.

"Just what?" I asked.

"It's just that if it's not a small boss, then, Siyuan, our situation is really dangerous and dangerous." Mu Zihan smiled bitterly and lowered his voice and said.

When he said this, I realized what he meant. That's right, the other five crew members said in unison, saying that they saw the captain on the bow deck last night, but the little boss said he didn't. Then, if the little boss is not the murderer, it means that the murderer is among the remaining five crew members. And according to their confessions, it is obvious that they may have colluded. In this case, if we continue to investigate, the situation can be imagined.

At this moment, the little boss came into the cabin, and after pouring himself a glass of water, he sat down opposite the two of us while holding the cup.

"What's the matter?" Seeing as if he had something to say, I asked.

After a morning of contact, I already know that although this little boss is young and mainly speaks Burmese, his Chinese is also good. At least they can communicate normally.

"It's fine, and in just over an hour, the boat will be on the shore." The little boss hesitated for a moment and answered me in stiff Mandarin. It's just that, after saying that, he lowered his head and took a sip of water, and then said, "As for my uncle's matter, the two of you don't need to investigate." Dare to run the boat at the 'Ghost Gate', we will be so mentally prepared to go. When this boat is finished, I will go back and call the police to deal with it when the time comes. ”

"Investigation? What survey? Mu Zihan asked with a shocked expression.

"Don't hide it from me, you checked the ship this morning, and then asked each crew member, isn't this an investigation?" The little boss replied: "My uncle once told me that more is better than less in our boat business, and the less you know, the longer you live." So, I won't ask about the status of the two of them, because I'm still young and haven't lived long enough. It's just that I also want to advise the two of you, you are not very old, and you are still ......"

Although he didn't finish his words in the end, Mu Zihan and I both understood the meaning of his words. It seems that this little boss is indeed not a simple character. I don't know if these words of his are really well-intentioned, or are they warning us to be nosy? Or maybe it's actually a test of the two of us.

"Thank you for the kind reminder from the little boss, and you can rest assured that we know what to do. Actually, the two of us were just worried about the ship's boss, after all, he and we were friends, but he disappeared on the ship so suddenly, and the luck was uncertain, so we should be concerned. Second, I was a little curious, so I asked everywhere. Mu Zihan replied with a smile.

Seeing that the little boss didn't seem to believe it very much, he still looked at us suspiciously, and then he said: "Moreover, I think you should also know the little boss, even if the two of us really find out what kind of bull ghost snake god is, now it is no longer in the country, what can we do?" ”

After hearing Mu Zihan's words, he may feel that it does make sense, so the little boss nodded and stood up and said, "That's the best." I'm also worried about my uncle's business, but what can I do? Now I can only hope that he is auspicious. After all, he has been running boats on this river for so many years, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves, and I believe that it is not so easy to capsize in the gutter. ”

After nodding at us, he put down the water glass in his hand and said, "Then I won't bother the two of you, there is still more than an hour to arrive, you just have to rest for a while." With that, he prepared to leave the cabin.

But at this moment, I only heard a loud sound of water coming from the stern of the boat, as if something heavy had been smashed into the water, which startled Mu Zihan and I to get up from the sofa at once. Before we could rush out of the cabin to the stern of the boat, we heard someone shouting in Burmese.

"What's wrong?" I asked while following Mu Zihan and the little boss to the stern.

"Someone overboard." Mu Zihan replied to me briefly.

As soon as he finished speaking, I felt the boat shake at my feet, and it stopped in the middle of the river. It seems that after knowing that someone had fallen into the water, some crew members hurriedly stopped the cargo ship and prepared to save people.

By the time we reached the stern, there were already several people gathered there, and judging by their nervous expressions, it was clear that someone had gone down to save them.

"It's going to be fine." I looked at the chaotic scene and asked Mu Zihan.

"If it hadn't been pushed into the water after being attacked, it would have been fine. After all, these are veterans who have been running boats for many years, and the water quality should be good, so it is not so easy to drown. However, if ...... That's hard to say. Mu Zihan looked at the water surface with a solemn face, but he couldn't see the human figure.

Finally, with the help of everyone's scrambling, the man who fell into the water was fished up. If you look closely, it is actually the middle-aged crew member who was driving the cargo ship in the control room in the morning.
