On the river, the smoke was everywhere, the boatmen had already turned on the lights, and the boatmen were still rocking the oars without stopping, and the speed of the boat did not slow down in the slightest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The knife stepped onto the bow of the boat and came to the side of the Chai official, and the river wind was gusting, making the knife feel a little cold. Xiaodao handed the cloak in his hand to the Chai official, and said, "It's about to be night, won't this boat stop for a while?"

Chai Daguan took the cloak, put it on his body and fastened it and said: "I have hired the best boatman, two shifts day and night, and at this moment I am catching up with the wind news, how can I miss the opportunity to hurry." If we can have a smooth journey, we will be able to stop and drink at Yanming Village at this time tomorrow night. ”

Xiao Dao smiled slightly, and said: "Chai Da official has calculated his affairs first, no wonder he has the current wealth, Xiao Dao admires." ”

Chai Daguan looked at the smiling face of the knife, frowned and said: "I have been in the shopping mall for so many years, and I can be regarded as well-informed, like Brother Meng, who always has a smile on his face, as if he doesn't have anything in mind, there are only two kinds of people. ”

"Oh, which two?" asked Knife, curious.

One is extreme self-confidence, believing that nothing in this world will be difficult for him, and naturally he doesn't care so much about anything that happens. This kind of person is afraid that it is difficult to have any other expression except laughter. Chai Daguan said.

"What about the other one?" asked Knife with a smile.

The other is that he knows that there are all kinds of changes in this world, and no matter what he does, he can't change those changes, so he can only laugh at the world to cover up. I don't know what kind of Brother Meng is?" asked Chai Daguan.

"Which one does the Chai official think I am?" asked the knife.

Chai Daguan said with a smile: "When I saw you, I knew that you were the third type." ”

"The third kind?" didn't the Chai official just say that there are only two kinds?" asked the knife.

"I did say two, but you are the third, the third in between. Chai Daguan said.

"The big officials have good eyesight. Knife said with a smile.

Chai Daguan sighed again and said, "It's just that I don't have good eyesight in this matter, I also see that Xiaomeng cares about you, but I always feel uneasy." ”

"Chai Daguan, I... Xiao Dao was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't expect that Chai Daguan would suddenly mention this matter.

"You don't have to say more, I have traveled north and south, I have never seen anything, this love between men and women is a normal thing, and it cannot be forced. It's just that I haven't found any news about you and that Meng Gongzi, who are you, I don't want to ask more, I must have your troubles. It's just that I'm worried in my heart, I can only think that you must not be an ordinary family, I just hope that you can always treat Xiaomeng well. After saying that, the official Chai walked alone to the cabin, leaving Xiaodao alone to stand in the bow of the boat.

This Chai Daguan is really not an ordinary person, but he never thought that he was such a reasonable person, Xiaodao originally thought that this party was a selfish person. It seems that he is going to look at this Chai official differently.

People greet each other with smiling faces, and people are sad and self-appreciating. The knife suddenly frowned, letting the river breeze blow and the chill was blowing, but he stood motionless at the bow of the boat and looked at the sunset in the distance.

For a long time, the knife watched the sunset completely fall, and only when the lights on the ship were left, he slowly walked from the bow into the cabin.

The knife entered the cabin, and a table of banquets had been prepared, and everyone sat down one after another.

After they were full of wine and food, everyone also went back to their bedrooms one by one to rest.

This bedroom is one person and one room, and the furnishings are extremely simple, except for a table and a chair is a small bed. But that's enough for a knife.

The boat was extremely stable, and the knife did not feel any discomfort while lying on the bed, and sometimes with the slight swing of the boat up and down, the knife felt at ease, and he did not have a good rest for even the day's running, which just helped him fall asleep smoothly.

The night of peace of mind only exists in dreams, and what peace can there be in the blood-stained rivers and lakes. About two hours after the knife fell asleep, a scream pierced the night sky and echoed in the cabin. Xiao Dao woke up instantly, pulled the door bolt with only a single coat, and walked out of the room, Tang Tian and Dao Wan also walked out of the room. The whole ship also boiled in an instant.

"What's going on?" Tang Tian asked, rubbing his eyes.

"It sounds like it's coming from the kitchen. Knife said.

"I don't know if there's something going on in the kitchen, you see. Tang Tian pointed ahead, and groups of people gathered there.

After a while, Xiaodao, Tang Tian and Dao Wantong squeezed through the crowd and came to the kitchen, where they saw a kitchen worker lying on the ground.

Knife crouched down and examined it carefully, then got up and looked around. At this moment, Chai Daguan had already arrived, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong with this person?"

Xiao Dao stood up and said to Chai Daguan: "Chai Daguan, where is the boss of the ship? This person died strangely, I need to gather everyone to the deck." ”

Before the Chai official could react, one on the side came out and said, "I'm the boss of the ship, Xu Dali, what's wrong." ”

"Gather everyone on deck, and I'm going to see who's on board. Knife said.

The ship's boss, Xu Dali, didn't say a word, and immediately shouted: "Stop the boat, go to the deck!!" After saying that, he also walked to the deck.

The boatmen gathered around listened to the order, and left the cabin and walked to the deck.

Around the corpse at this moment, only Xiaodao, Tang Tian, Dao Wantong, and Chai Daguan were left.

"What did you check out, how did this person die?" Tang Tian asked from the side.

"There were no signs of a fight around, the murderer was killed with one blow, and there were no injuries on this person's body except for a red spot on his heart, and there was no injury to his internal organs. "Little Knife Road.

"Red spots on your chest?" Tang Tian squatted down and pulled open the man's chest clothes and touched them with his hand.

"How's it going? Do you do what I thought?" asked Knife.

"The murderer poured a flying needle into it with extremely strong internal force, and then flew out, pierced into the person's heart, and then passed through the body. So. Tang Tian raised his head, checked the position where the man had fallen, walked slowly behind him, and gently brushed his hand over a ship wall.

"The murder weapon has been taken away by the murderer, but the method is not wrong. Knife said.

"Not bad. Tang Tian said.

"Oh, what kind of dumb riddle are you guys playing here. Do you know who the murderer is?" asked Chai Daguan anxiously.

"I know, I know, I just didn't expect him to be so close to us. It doesn't take much effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them, Brother Dao, it seems that your revenge will be avenged soon. Knife said.

"What! you mean. . . Dao Wantong said movingly.

"Shhhh Knife suddenly motioned to keep quiet, "Let's go, let's go out on deck and have a look." Knife and the other four then walked to the deck. When he arrived on the deck, the knife glanced over, there were sixteen boatmen in two shifts, four cooks, and six handymen, and these people had been divided into three columns according to the arrangement of the ship's boss Xu Dali. Xiaodao looked to the side again, and there were also the boat boss, Tang Tian, Dao Wantong, Chai Daguanren, Ding Sanye, Bai Xiaomeng, and the eight guards and a housekeeper who followed Chai Daguan to the boat.

Xiao Dao saw that there were really a lot of people, so he said: "Who are the people who are rocking the oars tonight, stand up, you look at each other, and think about whether the people around you are on duty." ”

The boatmen just looked at each other, but they didn't move at all, and the knife glanced at Xu Dali. Xu Dali immediately understood and shouted: "I came out of the night shift today, why are you deaf?"

With such a shout, eight people walked out of it, Xu Dali glanced at the knife and then turned to them: "Let's see if each other is there!!"

"Yes, yes. The men lowered their heads and said one sentence at a time.

"Then let me ask you, were you still paddling when you heard the scream?" asked Knife.

"Yes, yes, we were all the last to be called out by the ship's boss. One of them said.

"Alright, you can now stand on the other side. Knife said.

The eight men listened, followed the direction of the knife's finger and slowly walked to the other end of the boat.

"If the rest of the people heard the shouting and didn't run to see it, they could go over and stand first. Knife had continued.

Hearing this, two more boatmen and four handymen walked over.

As soon as the knife looked at it, there were only six boatmen, two handymen, and four cooks left among the men.

"Which ones are the cooks?" asked Knife.

The four cooks stood up one by one when they heard the knife say this.

The knife came up to them and said, "I ask you, who is the man who died tonight, and where he is, and who of you knows?" ”

One of the fat cooks came out and said, "My lord, we will arrange for a person to be on duty every night boat to make some snacks for the night boatmen. ”

"Does he have an enemy?" asked Knife.

"He is honest, he can only be bullied by others, how can he offend people, in fact, he has been on duty for two days in a row, and Li Dazhu was supposed to be on duty tonight. The broad, fat cook's voice turned out to be quieter and his eyes drifted to the side.

"Oh?" Xiao Dao originally asked casually, but he didn't expect that there were some twists and turns in the middle, so he walked up to the man and said, "Are you Li Dazhu?"

"Yes, yes, the little one. Li Dazhu said fearfully.

"Why do you have to change shifts with that Ma Er? Is it because it's hard to be on duty at night, or are you going to do something else?"

"No, sir, today it was Ma Er who took the initiative to tell me that he was going to change shifts, and I didn't understand, he said, he said that he was going to leave in two days, and he should be repaying his brother for taking care of him in the past, and I didn't care about these things. Li Dazhu said nervously.

After hearing this, Xiaodao looked at Xu Dali, and as soon as Xu Dali saw Xiaodao looking at him, he said: "I don't know about this, this kid is too unauthentic, and he won't tell me in advance if he wants to leave." ”

"From this point of view, this Ma Er must have gained someone's advantage, and he had already planned to do something on our ship, and he was killed after the matter was done. Tang Tian walked over and said.

"No, what he can do as a cook is to drug his food, but we have always been careful with our diet. Besides, wouldn't it be even more noticeable to just kill the mouth? There must be something else we don't know. Knife thought for a moment and said.

"yes, why is it so attention-grabbing?" Tang Tian muttered to himself.

Xiaodao listened to Tang Tian's self-talk, and suddenly understood in his heart, yes, what this person wanted was to attract attention, so he hurriedly turned around and ran back to the cabin.

When everyone on the deck saw the knife like this, they were stunned for some reason.

"This... This Meng brother can't be evil. Chai Daguan also said in a daze.

Tang Tian saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly followed, and when he saw the knife entering his bedroom, Tang Tian seemed to have understood something, so he immediately walked in, walked slowly to the knife, and asked quietly, "Is it gone?"

"yes. Xiao Dao said slowly: "It was you who reminded me that after killing people with one hand, you have to take away the murder weapon, how can such a master kill people make him such an ordinary person let out such a scream." ”

"He was there to steal what we were carrying, but who could have thought of this thing on us?" Tang Tian said puzzled.

"Combined with that murderous modus operandi, I can only think of one person. Knife said.

"Wu Qingliang?" Tang Tiandao.

"Not bad. Only he knows the most about it. "Little Knife Road.

"Could it be that he is on this boat?" Tang Tiandao.

"I don't think he'd take such a risk, knowing that the two of us would come here on our own, and that there must be his accomplices in this. "Little Knife Road.

"Let's go, let's go back to the deck, I'm sure the thief is among them. Knife said with a sigh.

The knife and Tang Tian then turned back to the deck. The knife slowly walked in front of the people again, and suddenly turned around again, and walked towards the crowd that had just walked to the other end.

The knife stopped in front of them and said, "Why don't you go and see what you shouted just now?"

"We were all rocking the oars just now. Someone in the crowd said.

"Oh, what about the two of you, don't rock the oars tonight, and there's nothing to do at night, why don't you be curious when you hear such an exclamation?" said the knife, staring at the other two boatmen and the four handymen.

One of them didn't dare to flicker his eyes, his body involuntarily slowly leaned back two steps, the knife smiled slightly, and suddenly grabbed the man's hand and shook it hard. The man suddenly turned and withdrew his hand, but he broke free from the little knife, and rolled two times in a row and was about to jump overboard into the river.

Tang Tian looked at him from the side and said, "Good guy, this person actually knows kung fu." ”

But just as he made a diving position, the knife came to him with a dodge, and kicked him to the ground with a leg lift.

The man clutched his stomach, endured the pain, did not make any entanglement, and hurriedly ran to the other end. But on the other side, Dao Wantong was already standing there. Tang Tian, Dao Wantong, and Xiaodao slowly surrounded them, and when the man saw this situation, he looked around in panic.

Xiaodao said: "You have no way out, don't struggle, tell me who told you to do this, we won't embarrass you." ”

When the man heard Xiao Dao say this, he slowly straightened up, not panicking, Tang Tian and Dao Wantong saw him like this, thinking that he had figured it out, so they also stopped.

But who expected that as soon as he saw that the three of them were no longer approaching, suddenly a quick thought of Chai Daguan and Bai Xiaomeng rushed forward, Xiaodao was taken aback, and it was too late to help. The man took out a dagger from his arms, strangled Bai Xiaomeng's throat with one hand, and pressed the dagger against her throat with the other.

"Hahaha, spare your life? I don't say I'll die, I'll die if I say it, why don't I fight it myself." I know that some of you are a hundred times better than me, but my dagger is only a millimeter away from this little lady, and I advise you not to act rashly. The man shouted loudly as he slowly moved toward the side of the boat.

"Ouch, good man, don't be impulsive, everything is easy to discuss, everything is easy to discuss. When Chai Daguan saw Bai Xiaomeng's painful appearance of being strangled, he was immediately distressed.

"What is going on? He's going to run away. Tang Tian whispered in the knife ear.

"The White Maiden is in his hands. Knife said nervously.

"This distance I will definitely hit if I use a winding path to pass through the secluded path. Do you want me to give it a try? Tang Tian said.

Xiao Dao knew that Tang Tian's stunt was to fly out three hidden weapons in a row, one faster than the other, colliding with each other to change direction, even if the other party had a hostage in front, he could go straight to the back of the enemy's heart. "But ... Knife said hesitantly.

"If we lose the ice magnolia, our lives will not be guaranteed. Tang Tian said that, he ignored the knife and hurriedly struck.

Seeing Tang Tian hit a hidden weapon in one hand, the knife nervously hurriedly pressed Tang Tian's other hand, and said, "Don't !!"

But on the other side, the man saw Tang Tian flying with a hidden weapon in one hand, and instinctively turned to the side, and at this moment, Bai Xiaomeng backhanded back and used the five-string hand of the Shocking Hong, and pointed at the person's chest, and the person couldn't move in an instant. But Bai Xiaomeng didn't stop making moves, turned around and made a killer move, just like when he dealt with Xu Zhengrong two days ago, the power of the body directly knocked the person out of the hull and fell into the river.

This scene was also something that the two of them, Chai Daguan and Dao Wantong and even Ding Sanye did not expect, they all looked surprised.

"What's the matter? This lifeless person dares to hold Miss Ben hostage. Bai Xiaomeng said calmly.

"But... Knife hesitated and said.

"But what is it? You must not be merciful to such people. Bai Xiaomeng said eloquently.

"Okay, okay, the murderer has been found, let's go back and rest. Chai Daguan said loudly.

The other people on this deck were already frightened by the scene just now, many of them were the first time they saw others killing, and now they heard the shouts of the Chai officials, and they all ran back to the cabin without stopping.

"Why don't you go back to rest?" Bai Xiaomeng saw that everyone else had gone back, but Tang Tian, Xiaodao, and Dao Wantong were still standing still, and ran over and asked.

"It's nothing, you go back to sleep early, I'll sort things out tonight. Knife said with a smile.

"Okay, Miss Ben is back, and she will have dark circles under her eyes if she sleeps less. Bai Xiaomeng said heartlessly and went back to the cabin.

Tang Tian saw that the people around him had left, so he said, "What are you going to do with these things, do you have a clue?"

"The thing must still be on board, and he must have an accomplice. Knife said with a frown.

"Don't you think that white girl is suspicious?" Dao Wantong walked over and said, "She had already restrained that person just now, but why did she want to kill him?" ”

"You see, even the wood of Brother Dao can be seen. Tang Tian immediately answered.

"You... When Dao Wantong heard Tang Tian say this, he stopped talking.

"Maybe she's really angry. The white girl does not often walk in the rivers and lakes, and she does not grasp the importance of kung fu well. And she doesn't know anything about us," Knife said.

"This kind of thing is reasonable and reasonable, and it has to be left alive. Are you lying to yourself by saying this?" Tang Tian sighed and said, "Then what other way is there to find out the accomplice on the ship now, what if that accomplice is that Bai Xiaomeng?"

"Forget it, let's go back to sleep first, anyway, they're right in front of them, and things can't run away from them. Knife said.

"Yes, that's true, but I don't expect you and me, Brother Dao and I went to monitor her movements day and night. Tang Tian said and went back to the cabin with Dao Wantong.

Back in the cabin, Tang Tian held Dao Wantong's waist with one hand and pulled it into his room. Dao Wantong not only had never been so close to a woman, let alone a man, but his face suddenly turned red.

Tang Tian slammed the door, turned around and saw Dao Wantong like this, and hurriedly pointed at him and said, "I said you can not think about it, I am an upright man." ”

"And what are you doing here?" asked Dao Wantong.

Tang Tian walked to the side of the bed, pulled out a bag from under the bed, took out a box from inside, and said, "What the kid is worried about is here!!"

"Ah!!, did you steal it?" said Dao Wantong in surprise.

"What stolen, I really didn't give it to him in the first place, with my years of experience in love, when you fall in love with a woman, you will definitely be dizzy, not to mention the kind of person from unknown origin, I have already left a hand. ”

"Then we won't hurry up and tell him. Dao Wantong said.

"What's the hurry, let that kid be anxious for two days. Tang Tian said.

"Then why did you bring me here?" asked Dao Wantong.

"If he believes in you, I will believe in you. I see that you are also not easy to be loved by women, and this thing is safe to keep with you. Tang Tian looked at Dao Wantong and said with a wink.

"You... Thank you for your trust in me. Dao Wantong swallowed this breath back.

"That woman or someone else from Chai Daguan, anyway, you have to be careful except for the three of us. Tang Tian said and handed the burden to Dao Wantong.

"You can't be a fake again, right? Dao Wantong asked.

Tang Tian blinked his eyes and said, "Who knows? Go ahead, and don't be seen by anyone else on the way. After Tang Tian finished speaking, he helped Dao Wantong open the door.

Dao Wantong took the baggage, and without saying much, he went out and walked to his room.

It took a long time for the knife to come down from the deck and walk to Tang Tian's door, wanting to knock on the door, but he stopped, and finally walked to his room after repeated repeats.

In the corner of the cabin, two dark shadows were separated by a short period of time, and they both burrowed into the same cabin.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a wooden box falling to the ground, followed by a slight cry of pain.

"Hmph, you little knife, you actually play such a trick with me. "One of them.

"I think this trick is mostly Tang Tian's idea. Forget it, there's a long way to go, and things will be ours sooner or later. It's just this injury. "Another humane.

"It's just a small injury. One said.

"I'm afraid it's Tang Tian's ghost idea, you have added a wound for no reason, so what others will think when they see it. Another said.

"And what do you have in mind?" said one.

"In the past two days, you will try not to show up, and when you get to Yanmingzhuang, I have my own way. Another said.
