After arriving on the first deck, the sea and sky meet on all sides, and the view is extremely wide.

According to the course, the ship sailed from the United States to Japan, with the bow facing northwest.

At this time, about thirty or so security guards in black uniforms formed a large encirclement and raised their guns to the bow of the ship.

On the bow of the ship stood a burly middle-aged man, with his back to the sea and facing the rising sun, his whole body was gilded with a layer of golden yellow by the sun, like a Buddha statue made of gold.

I looked at it from afar, and the man had an angular face and eyes that were burning and shining. Facing the siege of dozens of security guards and dozens of long and short guns, there was no panic on his face, he was calm and calm, and his back was straight.

Just looking at his face, I already knew that the security guards posed no threat to him at all.

"What a powerful momentum!" Tang Wan exclaimed in a low voice.

"Yes, if he's an enemy, it's an absolute enemy. I nodded in response.

Instead of rushing forward, we stopped at the gangway for the time being, half-concealed, and waited to see what was going on.

Just now, the little boss came with his brothers, and a security team appeared in each of the other three directions. Five teams of men and horses combined, at least one hundred and fifty people, three layers inside and three layers outside, built a human wall between the bow and the hull of the ship, so as to protect the guests on board.

The man at the bow of the ship listened, and restrained himself and waited for leniency. Listen, the man at the bow of the ship is already surrounded, hurry up and grab your hands and fight for leniency......" The megaphone on the ship sounded, and the tactics of attacking the man's heart were attacked.

Tang Wan took out the miniature telescope from her pocket, didn't use it herself, and handed it to me first.

In the binoculars, the man's facial features became very clear.

I think this person is a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, I remembered that he once appeared at my grandfather's funeral, and he should have followed the local gang bigwigs in Jinan.

At that time, people came and went in the old house, and no one would deliberately ask about the identity of the hanger. The door is full of guests, and if you ask long-winded, it will be too disrespectful and impolite.

I handed the telescope to Tang Wan: "Look at that person, judge, have we seen him before?"

Tang Wan reacted quickly, only looked at it for more than ten seconds, and then replied very affirmatively: "It appeared at the funeral of the old house on Qushuiting Street, and I remember that his name on the account book of the outer cabinet was 'Jia Shifang'. It seems that it was a pseudonym, and he went to the old mansion not to pay tribute to the old man, but to have other plans. ”

Since the seals of the two of us coincide, the identity of this person has become very subtle when he appears twice in the old mansion and on the ship.

In this case, the person can either throw himself into the blue sea or be captured, and there is no third option.

"He's here for you. Tang Wan said.

"It's been hidden for too long, and I've been unaware. "I'm a little ashamed.

The world is so complicated, even if I had to live my life all over again, I might not be able to guess the other person's intentions.

There have been so many things happening in Qushuiting Street, grandpa's death has stirred up the past of the rivers and lakes in Jinan City, and there are so many bigwigs in the rivers and lakes who have come to mourn, and I, I don't know anything about them, nor do I know anything about the past of the Xia family.

"Capture him alive, and maybe you'll know something. Tang Wan was thoughtful.

"Don't come here, I have something to say. The people who were surrounded suddenly cried out.

"Surrender, lie on the ground, put your head in your hands, and don't make any rash moves!" the loudspeaker also shouted.

"I want to see Mr. Xia Shi, who is one of the passengers on the ship. There's * on board, and when I've seen him, I'll tell you* where he's hiding. Now, bring Mr. Summer Stone out, and I'm going to talk to him!" the man shouted again.

The attacking side immediately stopped, and if the other side had not made false threats, the ocean-going steamer would have sunk to the bottom of the sea after the explosion, and no one would have been spared.

"Trouble. Tang Wan paused and whispered.

The loudspeaker was silent, and the encirclement and suppression of an uninvited guest immediately turned into an anti-terrorist operation, and those security guards alone could no longer do anything.

"Since the other party has already called for the fight, then I'll go out and talk to him. I said.

"I'll be with you. Tang Wan said immediately.

"Nope. I pointed to the sides of the boat, "You go find the lifeboat and put on your life jacket at the same time." If something happens to the big boat, make sure it can float at sea for forty-eight hours. Let's split up and be prepared for both. ”

According to the rules of navigational safety, there will be enough life-saving equipment on board, the number of which is much larger than the total number of passengers. As long as they don't die from the explosion, they can generally float at sea and wait for a passing ship to help.

Tang Wan and I have become a whole, always thinking about each other, but our own life and death have been put aside.

"Okay, I'll prepare, don't fall into the trap of the other party, first figure out who the other party represents. Tang Wan admonished repeatedly.

I smiled, raised my hands in the air, and walked through the security guards. The person in front of me automatically flashed to both sides, making way for me.

"I'm the summer stone you're looking for, if you have anything to say, say it. I stood twenty paces away from the man, and said in a calm tone.

"Come closer, I have a secret for you. He beckoned to me.

Without hesitation, I continued until I was five steps away from him.

"Come with me to meet someone, someone who is very important to your Xia clan. He said.

"Where?" I asked.

"In the water. He smiled slyly.

It is impossible for a person to live in the water, and I am acutely aware that when he says "in the water", he must be referring to submarines.

"Why should I believe you? When I was in Jinan, you had already been to the old house on Qushuiting Street where I lived, and you used the pseudonym Jia Shifang, what is your intention?" I asked.

The man was a little surprised: "Do you remember those things? I actually have no malicious intentions, just out of admiration for Mr. Xia." At that time, nothing happened, and you had the support of the masters around you, so you didn't bother too much. Now, things have changed, and I have to risk my life to come and invite me. ”

The tone was sincere, but I had seen the appalling video in the screening room, and I had witnessed the death of the fake waiter at the bottom of the boat, and it was impossible to trust a stranger anymore.

"Where do you want me going?" I asked in a low voice.

"I can't say it, but please believe that it will only be good for you to go, and there will be no harm in it. The man said.

I shook my head slowly: "There are no pies in the sky, only traps." ”

This is the common saying of the old Jinan people, and it is also a big truth. Especially in the rivers and lakes, the more you want to pick up cheap, the faster you will die.

"What can I do to trust me?" he asked.

"Tell me who I'm going to meet, and then it's up to me to decide if I want to go or not. In that case, everyone will have something to talk about. I said in a resolute tone.

The man hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly: "I can't say, that's not within my power." This is a rare opportunity, and if you refuse to go, it will be wasted. However, I will not force you, but I must remind you that you missed the opportunity, don't blame me. ”

At this point, we can't go on.

I took three steps back and stared at him in silence.

"Goodbye, but I'll come again, because it's a very important thing for you, and I'll see if you'll see—" He sighed with regret and gestured behind me.

He was always sincere and did not show the slightest hostility towards me. So, inevitably, I was a little careless, and I twisted his fingers back.

Tang Wan was very obedient, and had already retreated to the side of the boat on the right side, leaning on a lifeboat. She was already wearing an orange life jacket and carrying another in one hand, which was supposed to be for me.

On the side of the guards, retreat twenty paces behind me, so as not to be caught up in the battle. Now, there wasn't even a figure within twenty paces behind me.

"Fooled!" it only took me three seconds to turn my head, think, and figure it out, but a true master can already do a lot in three seconds.

I was hit the back of the neck, and my eyes immediately turned black and my whole body went limp. However, under the sudden change, I still twisted my body and escaped from the crook of the enemy's arm like a loach.

"Come with me, don't waste time!" the man cried, twisting his arms and locking my right arm.

He was so strong that he grabbed me by the arm and bent over me to carry me on his shoulder.

The security guards threw rat traps and did not dare to shoot, so they could only surround them again.

I didn't lose consciousness and my mind was still clear. So, at this time, I have seven or eight ways to kill the other person, such as inserting the eyes, piercing the ears, stabbing the throat, etc., after all, I am on top and he is below, and his two arms control my right arm, at least I have an empty left arm.

I didn't kill you, though.

As soon as the dead hand came out, the battle was over, and the clue that fell from the sky was broken. Only by retaining clues can we bring new changes.

"Stand back, stand back, don't force me to kill on the spot!" the man shouted.

I took advantage of the chaos to raise my left arm and signaled Tang Wan not to move forward.

At this moment, my concern is not about my personal safety, but about solving problems concisely and efficiently, and uncovering all the secrets. Only by putting personal life and death aside can we maintain a normal heart and actively and efficiently devote ourselves to the work area.

The security guards were also very smart, and when they saw me gesturing to Tang Wan, they also stopped moving, all they could do was to lower the muzzle of the gun to avoid accidentally injuring me.

"It's good, it's good, everyone is very obedient, just stand still. I promise that Mr. Xia will be safe and sound, and he will not miss a single hair to come back. The man said.

I have a strong feeling that the place where this person is going to take me will definitely be able to unravel a large part of the old mysteries, related to the rise and fall of the Xia clan.

In that case, no matter how dangerous it is, I will go.

"Thank you!" the man was also very alert, looking up on his back, looking me in the eye, and sincerely thanking him. Of course, he understood that it was not enough to lock me in one arm, and if I hadn't volunteered to cooperate, he would have been stretched thin.

"I hope the place you're going to take me doesn't disappoint. I whispered in response.

"Of course not, of course—" His voice stopped suddenly, and a hollow hole the size of a thumb appeared in the middle of his forehead, and he strode back, leaning against the bow railing.
