sincerity of lies

Boom.

The lightning flashed across the sky first, and then the thunder was long overdue.

With the muffled sound, Ji Xun looked at Boss Wu and suddenly asked:

"Whose descendants do you think we are?"

Boss Wu was stunned, but immediately, a kind of anger seemed to be brewing under his fear, and he locked on without hesitation: "...the descendants of Chu Xingfa!"

A descendant of Chu Xingfa.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with that.I am indeed the grandson of Chu Xingfa.Ji Xun thought about it.

He looked at Boss Wu again, and asked slowly: "There are only six rooms on the boat. Assuming that the six of you are all interested parties, there are still three people who are not there. The dead Feng Silong, the escaped Chu Xingfa, and the last person?" None of your legs were injured, and so was Lu Kun and Yu Fanhai. The last person was Wu Lele, why didn’t you guess him? Why didn’t you guess the descendant of Feng Silong who was clearly killed? Did you kill the grass and eradicate the roots?”

A trace of pain appeared on Boss Wu's face.

But under his layered age spots and wrinkles, that trace of pain is so inconspicuous, it is just an insignificant betrayal, a trace of pain in his long and evil life.

Ji Xun asked again: "Lu Kun has a fan made of bones in his hand. Is that Huo Qiying's bone? Is it a token? Tell me what it does."

On Boss Wu's face, that grotesqueness appeared again.

A trace of grotesqueness that was incompatible with his fear, resentment, and everything else.

A touch of what could be described as eerie grotesqueness of relief.

Twice, Boss Wu showed this expression that shouldn't be shown twice.

What is the meaning of this emoji?Ji Xun thought.Where did this familiarity come from?

Boss Wu was silent for a moment, and wrote: "That day, that is, April 4, when Ms. Huo died. We can't bear to miss Ms. Huo... Coincidentally, Feng Silong has talked about the present again. Let's just take the lead and make a blood alliance! Blessed to share , We have the same difficulties, we don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. So we worshiped our brothers, and we had to have a ceremony, and it was best to have a token, so we... used Miss Huo’s body ... Each of us got a magic weapon made of a piece of bone from Mazu. We made an agreement that whoever is in trouble in the future, as long as he takes out this thing, other people will help him unconditionally. This is between us Bond and witness."

It's better spoken than sung.

Their witnesses are the corpses of others, and their bond is no match for the conflict of interests.

"Then how did this ship start?"

"I don't know the details. They all make money by following them. At first, he followed Brother Long, who was a gangster. Later, when the gangsters became difficult, Yu Hai started to make money in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Actually, at this time , We already have enough money... But how can we have enough money. Then Mr. Liu started human trafficking, and slowly, it turned into organ trading... It's getting more and more high-end, and I don't get involved anymore Now, I only take the annual dividends." Boss Wu wrote.

"When is your party? Why are there vacant rooms?"

"We get together every year on Mazu's birthday, and other times when we think we need to get together, sometimes twice a year, sometimes once every two years, not necessarily. As for the empty rooms on the ship... Lu Kun will not be there when the ship comes out. Fucked with us. He gets seasick, but the party on land will come. Yu Hai said that he only wanted to engage in smuggling or something, and he didn’t want to mess with Mr. Liu’s mess, saying it was outrageous... This man is very hypocritical, Obviously, when he was engaged in smuggling, he was very ruthless. But he also got retribution. He gave birth to a son, Dumiao Miao, who was born with albinism. He was frightened, so he washed his hands in the golden basin and started charity work on his own. He said that he would do good deeds for his son and bring him up."

These things are very long, and Boss Wu wrote them for a long time.

"Liu Yan didn't make things difficult for these two people, and the room was reserved for them, saying that no matter what, they were all on their own. Later, Yu Hai did not come up, and Liu Yan asked his son again, and his son didn't come, so forget it .”

Everything is clear.

Ji Xun stood up from the coffee table, and Huo Ranyin also stood up from the sofa.

But no one seemed to raise the gun, not only no one raised the gun, but the gun was put away.

After a short moment of disbelief, Boss Wu's eyes shot out the hope of birth.When his gaze met Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin again, his fear and resentment disappeared, and a flattering smile appeared on his face.

Huo Ranyin ignored such a smile, lifted the person from the sofa, all the way to the toilet, and then threw the person into the bathtub, then tied the person's hands, legs and mouth tightly with the hotel cloth, After making sure that the other party was absolutely unable to move, he walked out of the toilet. When he reached the toilet door, he looked back at Boss Wu, ignored Boss Wu's pleading eyes, and closed the door properly.

Double protection.

Presumably, even if Boss Wu tried his best to make noise in the toilet, the noise wouldn't be able to spread outside.

The two left Boss Wu's room, greeted Meng Lingshan who was still guarding outside, and the three returned to the third floor.

Huo Ranyin took the diary to the deck, and Ji Xun handed over all the papers he had just communicated with Boss Wu to Meng Lingshan.

Meng Lingshan quickly browsed through the things from beginning to end, and basically figured out the situation.

"Where's Boss Wu?" Meng Lingshan asked.

"Shut up in the bathroom downstairs."

"that's it?"

"Otherwise what else?"

"Don't worry..." Meng Lingshan rubbed the paper in his hand and said to himself.

"He can't escape." Ji Xun calmly stated, "As long as we solve the mystery, find the signal jammer, turn it off, and communicate with the outside world, he and they will all be punished as they should. This mystery is far away from us. Very close."

Meng Lingshan remained silent, he did not directly express whether he agreed with Ji Xun's idea.But his tight eyebrows loosened a little bit...

"The truth of Ji Yu is closer, right?" he said suddenly.

"Yes."

Meng Lingshan murmured: "I always felt that in the end, Ji Yu was the Ji Yu we knew. What she did..."

There was a sudden tremor in his voice.

Very light, as light as ripples on the water.

How many turbulent waves are hidden under these slight ripples.

"On April 4, they parted the bones, maybe... because of this, Ji Yu..."

In the end, Meng Lingshan still didn't complete the sentence that should not have been said.He said:

"Putting you on board may be the most correct decision I have made."

"But pulling you aboard," Ji Xun replied, "is the worst decision I've ever made."

Then Ji Xun stood up.

"Forget it, we've reached this point, there's no need to say such frustrating words...give me a few minutes, and then we'll go to the murderer."

Ji Xun left Meng Lingshan behind and went to look for Huo Ranyin on the deck.

But after entering the deck and looking around, there was no sign of Huo Ranyin.

He stood here until a voice came from behind:

"Have you finished talking with your partner?"

"Actually, I wanted to say it the first time you said it." Ji Xun turned his head and saw the shadow in the corner moved slightly, and Huo Ranyin stepped out of the shadow, "Does this word have a lot of meanings?"

"Yes." Huo Ranyin said lazily, "So it perfectly covers you and Meng Lingshan, doesn't it?"

"Are you jealous?" Ji Xun hit a straight ball.

"Do you think you still have the right to make me jealous?" Huo Ranyin asked back.

"Of course there is."

"..."

"Because you are eating." Ji Xun, "So it can be seen that my qualifications are still sufficient."

"You have a thick skin." Huo Ranyin said softly.

"Obviously it's not thick enough." Ji Xun leaned against the railing, "Otherwise I'd kiss you as soon as I saw you, so you wouldn't say that word in front of the innocent Meng Lingshan...he Still homophobic."

As he talked, Ji Xun felt sympathy for Meng Lingshan.

"...You came here just to tell me these nonsensical things?" It seemed that Huo Ranyin's patience had reached a critical point.

"Actually not." Ji Xun took out a rock candy from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, "I was thinking about the murderer. The murderer has no ability to move freely and is trapped in a certain room. He wants to punish him with a crime. Then his revenge is not over yet. How can he continue? He took out a diary and asked us to find Boss Wu to find out what happened 40 years ago. The truth is very infuriating and painful... So what? This does not guarantee that we will lynch Boss Wu after reading the diary. If he wants to fish in troubled waters, he has to make us desperately create chaos. The diary is not that kind of strong motivation. The most is to find a way to talk to Boss Wu, and not directly confront Mr. Liu, that is to say, not confusing enough..."

Having said this, Ji Xun was taken aback for a moment.

"Actually, there is another possibility." He looked at Huo Ranyin, "Seek the police to solve the problem."

"You mean..." Huo Ranyin was thoughtful, "By the way, the premise of finding the clue of the trash can is to search for it before, only in this way can we know what's in it, otherwise even you can't do it When the murder happened, everyone saw me go through the trash can, which means that this line was specially reserved for me. He knew that I would return to the scene."

"I guess he saw you jumping from the second floor to the first floor." Ji Xun, "His plan was improvised between the time when Mr. Liu blocked the second floor and when Mr. Liu left the second floor to go to the deck. During this time, The only time your movement track can be seen by the people on the second floor is that time."

"He saw your superb climbing skills, and thought of your excellent evidence-gathering ability during the previous crime. He boldly guessed that you were a policeman. Only the police would return to the scene of the crime under such circumstances. Search for evidence. If not, his clues are placed there, and it is safe, and no one will pay attention to the extra sheets of paper in the trash can."

"But here comes the problem again..." Ji Xun said, "What did the murderer want the police to do? It shouldn't be all the truth 40 years ago, right? The case 40 years ago was important to the police, but the case that happened under their noses is right. The police matter too."

"Contact the outside world." Huo Ranyin said, "The desperate murderer feels that he has little hope of further revenge, so he wants the police to arrest the murderer. Don't forget our previous purpose...to find the murderer, turn off the shield, and contact the outside world Now it seems that it is somewhat ironic, and this is probably the murderer's expectation."

"Indeed, it's very possible." Ji Xun said.

"As for who the murderer is..." Huo Ranyin glanced at Ji Xun.

"Don't worry, I've already figured it out." Ji Xun said.

"Very good. From now on, you can talk about business as soon as you come in." Huo Ran was lukewarm, and turned to enter the room.

"I don't think so." Ji Xun didn't move, still standing against the railing, and stuffed himself with rock candy, "I have to talk about business. But I think you need to relax or vent before doing business."

"Just right."

Ji Xun said frankly, licking the sugar stains on his lips.

"I also need."

"Thorn-"

The sudden sound made Meng Lingshan in the room frowned.

He looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that the curtain at the deck door was half torn and was shaking slightly.

Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin are behind the curtain.

It shouldn't be an accident.

But his hand still reached for the weapon... until the curtain was lifted, Huo Ranyin came out first, followed by Ji Xun.

Meng Lingshan first looked at Huo Ranyin who looked calmer, and then at Ji Xun who was covering his mouth behind him.

"what happened?"

Huo Ranyin flirted with Ji Xun.

Ji Xun's voice was a bit vague: "Thinking about something, I tripped over it, so I took the curtains."

"Your tongue?"

"I bit it when I tripped." Ji Xun.

Meng Lingshan looked at Ji Xun with a look on his face, do you think I look like a fool.

But he didn't speak.

Huo Ran just punched Ji Xun, but the master didn't care about it himself, so why should he be in a hurry to get angry?

After leaving the third floor, they went to one of the decks on the second floor.

The reason why they entered and exited like no one was there was thanks to Mr. Liu's cooperation... But this deck is different from the deck they climbed on before, and I'm afraid it's different from any other deck here.

The deck door on this deck is not closed.

At some point, the glass door on the deck opened.

The wind blew the curtains, blowing them into various grotesque shapes.

This grotesque shape resembled the dark banter that invited them in.

Or.

The murderer's joke.

The author has something to say: there are still half of the revisions that have not been successfully revised...it is too late, let's revise after getting up.
