After a few days, except for the increasingly dangerous mountains on both sides of the Yangtze River and the increasingly turbulent current, everything else was normal and calm. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info even so, the rumors of the man's river thief that day are still entangled in everyone's hearts and linger. So in the evening, after dinner, everyone hurried back to the house and closed the door, and there was silence on the deck.

On this day, the cruise ship sailed to a section of the river called Tiger Roaring Gorge, where due to the unique topography of both banks, the wind on the river is particularly strong, and the passage is narrow, so that the sound is amplified after the wind hangs over, and it is as deafening as the roar of the tiger.

At night, Yu Muyan lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep because of the wind, so she got up and prepared to go out.

Drinking a pot and meditating on the ground with her eyes closed, in fact, in the past few days, Yu Muyan has been sleeping on the bed, drinking a pot and sitting on the ground, the two have been getting along for a long time along the way, and there is no embarrassment.

"Miss Yu, try not to go out at night, lest the thieves come to commit murder, and it will be dangerous to rob them by the way. He didn't open his eyes and smiled.

"It's been a few days, and I don't think this thief will come. This Tiger Roaring Gorge really lives up to its name, the Tiger Roar repeatedly, the noise made me annoyed, I went out to breathe. With that, Yu Muyan opened the door and walked to the deck.

A spring breeze with a moist breath came to her face, and Yu Muyan suddenly felt refreshed.

After staying on the deck for a while, Yu Muyan felt a little hungry in her stomach and wanted to go to the restaurant to get something to eat, she turned around, startled, and saw a black shadow standing behind her, and instinctively wanted to scream, but was hurriedly stopped by the black shadow.

"Girl, it's me. ”

Yu Muyan took a closer look and turned out to be the bartender on the ship.

"This girl, it's okay to go back to the room early to rest, this river thief is really not sensational, I met the river thief in the Tiger Roaring Gorge a year ago. With that, the bartender lit a faint lantern and walked slowly forward.

Frightened by the bartender, Yu Muyan was completely hungry, and after looking left and right, she went back to the house and locked the door.

"What's wrong? You're back so soon?" Drinking a pot still didn't open his eyes, he heard Yu Muyan returning to the house, and asked with a smile.

"I just met the bartender outside, and said that he was the river thief he met in this Tiger Roaring Gorge a year ago, and I was terrified to hear it. Yu Muyan shivered and said.

"Doesn't Lady Yu want to punish the evil and eliminate the traitor?

"Hmph, big brother, you know how to laugh at me. Yu Muyan snorted coldly and went to bed.

After a pot of teas, he smiled slightly, and then fell silent.

The wind outside was still bitter, and there was silence in the rooms on the cruise ship.

On the second day, Yu Muyan was still in a dream, and suddenly, she was woken up by a scream outside the house.

What's going on? It's so noisy early in the morning.

Yu Muyan got up with difficulty, sleepy-eyed, only to hear the door gradually becoming noisy.

When he got out of bed, he saw that the pot of drink on the floor was gone, and when he opened the door, he found a large group of people gathered in front of the door of the next room.

Yu Muyan squeezed into the crowd, looked at it, and was startled. I saw a man in the room lying on his back on the bed, his chest covered in blood, his eyes popping out, staring at the ceiling with a painful expression on his face. The rest of the house was littered, and all kinds of boxes and boxes were scattered on the ground, and the precious belongings in them were gone. And a pot was standing next to the corpse.

"It's a river thief, it must have been a river thief. At this time, someone in the crowd was already shouting.

Hearing the word river thief, there was a commotion among the onlookers.

At this time, the captain also rushed to the scene, and when he saw the corpse, he was so frightened that he almost fainted, and hurriedly sent the crew to comfort the passengers and let everyone go back to their rooms first.

Later, when he saw that the pot was still standing next to the corpse, he was angry for a while, and hurriedly shouted: "This guest, get out of here quickly, don't touch anything, and hand it over to the government after you go ashore tomorrow." ”

Before leaving, he took a pot and glanced at the wound on the corpse's chest, and between the blurred flesh and blood, five knife marks faintly appeared.

Drinking a pot and walking out of the room, Yu Muyan grabbed him and asked for details: "Big brother, what's going on?"

"Didn't you also see that people were killed and their property was plundered? He said lightly after taking a pot.

"Is it really the river thief?" Yu Muyan asked as she remembered that someone in the crowd had just said about the river thief.

After drinking a pot without answering, he quietly returned to his room.

Yu Muyan secretly glanced at the corpse again before leaving, hey, why kill people when robbing money?

At noon, the captain gathered all the guests in the dining room to inquire about the details of the case.

The deceased son's name is Jiang Shaohui, the son of Jiang Qi, the richest man in Xiazhou, who is usually arrogant and domineering, and is a well-known local snake in the city. However, due to his father's huge financial resources, even the government had to tolerate him for three points, so it indirectly contributed to his arrogance, causing many people to be angry and dare not speak out about his daily evil deeds.

According to her, Jiang Shaohui loves to sleep lazily every day, and usually tells Zhu Ying to send breakfast to his room, and today is no exception, but when Zhu Ying came to the front of the room, she found that the door was not locked, knocked on the door several times, and did not see an answer, so she pushed the door by herself and entered, wanting to leave the breakfast and leave, but she didn't expect to see Jiang Shaohui's tragic situation as soon as she opened the door, which frightened her into panic and screamed, so she later attracted everyone to watch.

Then, everyone began to describe what happened to them last night. Basically, the six people on the north deck didn't notice anything unusual, and everyone obediently stayed in the room to rest, while a few people on the south deck told different stories.

First of all, the crew responsible for the night patrol on the south deck, that is, the bartender, named Du Yi, according to him, he went to patrol the deck every other hour last night, and found nothing unusual except for Yu Muyan, who went out to breathe.

The second is Xu Rongting, a young woman who lives in the first room, she said that she stayed in her room all night and did not hear anything abnormal, but it seems that in the middle of the night, she heard the sound of walking at the door, and thought it was a crew patrol, so she didn't pay attention to it, I don't know if it was the footsteps of the river thief.

Then, it was Lu Lanze, an elderly woman who lived in the second room, she said that the elderly couldn't sleep at night, and the wind in the Tiger Roaring Gorge was loud, so she lay on the bed and didn't close her eyes for almost the whole night, so she had the most right to speak, anyway, I don't know if it was because the old man's ears were not good, she didn't hear any sound, and said that she just faintly heard the same sound of walking at a certain time.

Moreover, it was Fu Xing'an, a middle-aged man in the fifth room, who was the teacher who had met the two of them before. He said something different, once he got up at night to go out, because there was no toilet in the house, so he opened the door and went outside, when he just went out, he vaguely saw a figure enter the deceased's room, he didn't think about it at that time, because he also saw someone enter the deceased's room one night a few days ago, and that person was Xu Rongting at that time. As a scholar, it was inconvenient for these men and women to think about it, so he left it behind and went back to his room after going to the toilet to continue sleeping. Speaking of the time when I saw the figure, it seemed to be about the same time as the two women in front of me heard the footsteps of Dodo.

was exposed by Fuxing'an about her ugly things, Xu Rongting's face changed for a while, and she bowed her head and was silent.

But after everyone laughed at it in their hearts, they continued to listen to the fifth person, and the fifth person was talking about Pang Junyu, who lived in the sixth room. When it was his turn, he cowered and said that his words were not in order, and under the pressure of everyone, he finally told the truth.

Because he was the first to talk about the rumors of the river thieves, he believed in them so much that he was terrified all day long, especially at night, when he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep, for fear that the river thieves would come to the door. Last night, he also hid in the bed and didn't sleep. Vaguely, he seemed to hear the sound of a doom on the deck outside, and then the sound of the door of the next room opening, which scared him half his life at this time, he thought that it was really a river thief on the boat, and when the river thief finished stealing from the next door, he would come to his room, so he hurriedly stepped forward and blocked the door, hoping that the river thief would leave on his own if he could not open the door, but after waiting for a while, he did not hear any new movement, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance, and secretly opened the door to see, in the crack of the door, he vaguely saw a black shadow jumping into the river with a large bag of things, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the door, and prayed to God in his heart to let the river thief leave and never come back。

Finally, when asked about a pot of drink, both of them said that they did not hear any abnormal noise.

At this point, after everyone had finished questioning, the captain had come to an obvious conclusion from everyone's description, that is, the thief was estimated to have been discovered by the deceased when he stole money, so he killed the killer, and after the killing, he rolled up his belongings and fled. Anyway, this matter is not something that ordinary people can manage, and it can be handed over to the government after going ashore.

Knowing the result of the murder, the stone in everyone's hearts can be put down, after all, the end of this journey will be reached this evening, and the river thieves in broad daylight should not come again.

So everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.

And after drinking a pot, there is a line in my heart that gradually becomes clear.
