Chapter 11: The Mysterious Background, the Master of Dongying (10)
When they arrived, there was no movement at all, the river breeze was cold, and Nangong Yu said: "It seems that they won't show up tonight, Miss Zhu should go back and rest." www.biquge.info Zhu Xinqi glanced at him and said, "You still call me Miss Zhu?" Nangong Yu smiled: "Yes, it's time to call Qi'er." Zhu Xinqi smiled shyly and said, "I want to accompany you here, I don't want to go back." Jiang Feng suddenly blew the tips of her hair, revealing her long black sideburns and slender neck, her delicate facial features were beautiful and moving under the river color, Nangong Yu couldn't help but take her into her arms and kiss her lightly on her forehead. Zhu Xinqi said shyly: "They are still in the stern, be careful to be seen." Nangong Yu said with a smile: "If you see it, you can see it, we are above board, and we are not afraid of catching traitors." Zhu Xinqi said shyly: "You try to talk nonsense again." ”
Nangong Yu was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard two screams from the cabin, the two looked at each other and changed color, and rushed down the cabin quickly. Xiao Yunxi and Yan Moyu also rushed down from the stern. The screams came from the chambers of Zhang and Wang, and there were a few passengers wearing underwear and poking their heads out of cloth shoes to look. As soon as Nangong Yu and the others rushed into the chamber, they smelled a pungent smell of blood. Shen Jun was already inside, staring at the corpses of the two dart masters on the ground with a stern expression. Xiao Yunxi frowned and said, "How were people killed?" Shen Jun clenched his fists and blamed himself, after all, the incident happened in the bilge, and the responsibility was him, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't relax my vigilance at all, patrolling back and forth in the corridor, and as soon as I reached the stern, I heard a scream, and it was already this scene when I rushed over." Xiao Yunxi said: "Then how did they get out?" Nangong Yu glanced at the low window of the cabin, and saw that the window was parallel to the side deck, so he opened the window and went out.
When they got back on deck, they were all dumbfounded. I saw a few ninja darts on the mast of the three-tailed sail, and the sail had long been gone, presumably thrown into the river by the two of them, only then did they realize that they had been tricked, and the other party's purpose was to trap everyone on the river. Shen Jun scolded: "Fuck! I have to break her leg if I catch that stinky girl." ”
However, the furious thing was not over, and when he went down to the cabin again, he found a note on one of the hatches, and a ninja dart was pierced against the door. Shen Jun was just about to get the note, but Xiao Yunxi hurriedly said: "Wait, be careful of poison." As he spoke, he took down the ninja dart and the note with a handkerchief, and only watched it after confirming that it was non-toxic, and wrote in a scribbled man, "The night is long, and the show is continuous, if you want to accompany me, I will accompany you." The next dying man will live in this house. After everyone saw it, they looked at a dart master named Zhou Yuanhai in horror, this was the room where he lived alone.
Shen Jun said to him: "From now on, you and I will not leave an inch, I want to see what they can do with you." Nangong Yu pushed open the door, found no trace of anyone entering, and said, "You can't live alone anymore, take your things and go with Brother Shen and Brother Xiao." Zhou Yuanhai nodded palely, entered the house and took out the weapons and things.
When they made such a fuss, all the passengers were awakened and all opened the hatch to look at them. The captain of the ship walked out of the cabin with a group of sailors and shouted loudly, "What about the sails! Which of you has done a good deed, say!" Xiao Yunxi called the captain of the ship aside and told him the ins and outs. The boat boss scratched his head after hearing this, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, how can you go to Songjiang Mansion now that there are no sails." I'm a businessman, the ship is rented, and I have to pay the sailors, what if I lose it. Nangong Yu stepped forward, gave him five taels of silver, and said, "Are these enough to compensate for your losses?" The boat boss shook the silver and said, "Enough, now I can only return the money to the passengers, and then paddle to the shore and let them leave on their own." Nangong Yu said: "You can't dock now, otherwise the two Dongying people will run away in the crowd." The boat boss frowned and said, "That can't trap everyone on the river." Nangong Yu thought for a while and said: "You can use a small boat to let some people who are not suspected go ashore first, and those who are suspicious will stay on the boat." Chuanlao Daodao: "How do you know who is suspicious?" Nangong Yu said: "Please go to the hall on the second floor, and we will decide after we have seen it." ”
Then the captain of the ship explained the reason to the passengers, and the passengers did not want to be involved in the vendetta of the rivers and lakes, and they all hated the Japanese invaders, so they did not have any complaints, and cooperated to pack up the salute and move to the hall on the second floor, where eight round platforms were filled. Nangong Yu and the others first checked the entire lower cabin inside and out, and after making sure that there were no Tibetans, they came to the second floor together. The Dongying people were among this group of people, and they did not dare to be careless, and sealed all the windows and doors, leaving no chance to escape.
It wasn't until dawn that all the passengers were questioned, and most of them were not suspicious, one group of people were businessmen of several businesses, another group of people were a large family traveling, and another group of young people were traveling with each other, these people were all familiar with each other, and no matter how clever Hideko's disguise technique was, it was impossible for him to become a relative and friend of others. Among the remaining individual passengers, who are obviously not in appearance, or who travel with three or more people, they can be excluded from suspicion. In the end, there were only eight people who were the most suspicious, namely a young couple, a middle-aged couple, a man in black, a weak scholar, a woman, and a young girl.
Nangong Yu expected that Dongying people were hiding among these eight people, so he kept them under strict guard, and at the same time asked the boat boss to arrange for the other passengers to leave in a small boat. While waiting, Shen Jun picked a large bucket of water from the Yangtze River to share with everyone. Everyone filled the water bladder and poured water for the eight people. Nangong Yu took a small bite, moistened his throat, and said: "I know that the two of you are hiding in the middle, as long as you stand up and admit it, and then make meritorious contributions to your crimes, and expose your conspiracy, you may not have no chance to live, this is also your last chance." ”
No one spoke, and no one stood up, but suddenly a strange voice was heard. The water bladder in Zhou Yuanhai's hand suddenly fell to the ground, he covered his stomach with both hands, his eyes bulged, there was a "gurgling" suffocation sound in his throat, and a burst of black blood suddenly burst out of his nose, and then black blood flowed out of his mouth, ears, and eyes, and he bled to death on the spot. Everyone was stunned, Xiao Yunxi was puzzled and said: "Impossible, we have been inseparable since last night, we ate the same bucket of water just now, why was Brother Zhou poisoned!" Nangong Yu said in a deep voice: "It's not that the water is poisonous, but that his water bladder is poisonous." Xiao Yunxi said: "That's impossible, the water bladder has been hanging on him since last night, and no outsiders have ever touched it." ”
Shen Jun angrily came to the eight suspects, slapped the table hard, glared at them and shouted, "Who are you!
