blank count

Coming out of the guest room, the corridor was empty.

Jin Zhou instinctively walked towards the VIP room area, and finally found the entrance upstairs, but was stopped by the security guards on both sides: "Sir, please show your invitation card."

Jin Zhou took the invitation card from his pocket and asked pretending not to know, "Can't we go to the viewing platform above?"

"Excuse me, sir." The security guard took a look and returned the invitation card to Jin Zhou, "This is the VIP customer area."

Jin Zhou was sure that Wang Hetai took Yang Shiyu upstairs.Seeing the appearance of these two security guards on guard, his uneasiness suddenly increased.

He went around to another elevator entrance, but there were still security guards on both sides.

It is almost impossible to go upstairs through the normal way. Jin Zhou came to observe the corridor next to the theater and found that the VIP box of the theater was not far from downstairs, so he took advantage of all the guests' attention on the stage and found The two chairs were stacked together, and they climbed to the floor of the VIP box by stepping on the chairs.

Once entering the VIP area, the air seems to be much quieter. There are no waiters in the aisle, and there are only a few guests sitting in the transparent box. It should be inconvenient to go downstairs to show up.

Since Jin Zhou didn't know where Wang Hetai and Yang Shiyu would be, he could only walk up the empty stairs, and ended up going straight to the viewing garden on the top floor of the cruise ship.

On this cold winter night, the open-air garden is obviously not open to the public, the lights are not turned on, and there are no waiters in the water bar.

Compared with the lively theater below, this place seems to be an abandoned world. Jin Zhou was about to leave, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar voice faintly.

"Zhao Yan may be sentenced to death."

——It was Yang Shiyu.

Jin Zhou hurriedly followed the sound and came to the edge of the garden fence against the biting sea wind. He saw a small platform under the railing, which should be a viewing balcony extending from a luxury suite.

"What evidence does the prosecution have now?" Wang Hetai faced the sea, and the cigar in his hand was blown by the sea wind like a signal tower, flickering red light on and off.

"Following the line of money laundering, the prosecution found that Zhao Yan had contact with several murder victims."

Wang Hetai stopped smoking his cigar, then turned to look at Yang Shiyu beside him and asked, "Is this not evidence?"

"Indirect evidence." Yang Shiyu said, "Now Zhao Yan's attitude has wavered."

"What kind of shaking method?" Wang Hetai asked.

"During an interrogation, he asked how long the sentence could be saved by making an active report." Yang Shiyu stopped here and didn't speak clearly, but Jin Zhou, who was hiding above and eavesdropping, also understood his hint——Zhao Yan is hesitating whether to betray Wang Hetai.

Wang Hetai fell silent upon hearing this, picked up the cigar in his hand and took a puff. After a long while, he said with distant eyes, "Judge Yang, what do you think I should do now?"

"What Zhao Yan said," Yang Shiyu paused, and asked, "Will it have a great impact on you?"

Hearing this question, Jin Zhou's nerves tensed up.

It was impossible for Wang Hetai to tell Yang Shiyu all the crimes he had committed, and Yang Shiyu's questioning now, even though he asked in an extremely tactful manner, was no different from asking straightforwardly.

For a cautious person like Wang Hetai, it is impossible for someone to inquire about his secrets without arousing his vigilance.It is really risky for Yang Shiyu to ask such a question so presumptuously.

"Of course it will be big." Wang Hetai took a sip of his cigar calmly, looked at the dark sea level and said, "If he framed me, I might not even be able to tell."

Seeing Wang Hetai's unremarkable reaction, Jin Zhou breathed a sigh of relief for a while, but immediately frowned—this Wang Hetai really left himself completely alone.

Hearing that Yang Shiyu said that Zhao Yan might speak, he immediately thought that it would be a false accusation to bite Zhao Yan back.At that time, even if Zhao Yan really testified against him, maybe he had already forged the evidence of being framed.

There was an obvious deviation in the plan, Yang Shiyu should have noticed this, and said: "There is also the director of the TV station, he may also reveal something to the prosecution."

"Him?" Wang Hetai's hand holding the cigar stopped in the air. After a while, he looked at Yang Shiyu and asked, "Judge Yang, do you think someone is going to punish me?"

Jin Zhou's nerves were highly tense again, because Wang Hetai would never ask this question for no reason.

"Treat you?" Yang Shiyu asked back without changing his expression. Maybe outsiders couldn't tell, but Jin Zhou and Yang Shiyu were too familiar, and he could hear Yang Shiyu's voice tense up slightly.

"People under me have accidents one after another, and even the reception I held can be leaked." Wang Hetai turned around slowly, walked to the leisure table and chairs, and put the cigar in his hand into the ashtray. After getting to know you, Judge Yang, do you think it was a coincidence?"

Oops, Jin Zhou's breathing suddenly became disordered, and he couldn't figure out how things would develop for a while.

However, Yang Shiyu was much calmer than him, turned to look at Wang Hetai, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you suspect it's me?"

"It's not suspicious." Wang Hetai took out a black object from his suit pocket and pointed at Yang Shiyu, "It's certain."

The ominous premonition accumulated so far suddenly exploded, and Jin Zhou saw clearly that the thing in Wang Hetai's hand was a gun.

Breathing and heartbeat stopped suddenly, only to hear Wang Hetai say again: "Judge Yang, your plan is very good, you want me to kill Zhao Yan, but you overlooked one point, Zhao Yan has been with me for so many years, I know very well He, he also knows me very well, he can't betray me, because betraying me can only lead to death."

"So," Yang Shiyu's face darkened, "are you going to murder the judge now?"

"It's not my style to do it myself, but you have killed my cronies, and I don't mind killing people with my own hands." Wang Hetai said and took a step back, "Do you know what the benefits of cruise ships are for New Year's Eve? Judge Yang, you die At sea, no one will find it."

From when Wang Hetai took it out to when he finished speaking, it took only ten seconds.

It was impossible for Jin Zhou to just wait. He looked back at the open-air garden and wanted to find a chair to throw from above. As long as it could distract Wang Hetai, he believed that with Yang Shiyu's skill, he would be able to subdue Wang Hetai.

However, at this moment, there was a loud noise in the sky, and colorful fireworks bloomed one after another, forming a beautiful night view of the sea.

Jin Zhou subconsciously looked at the bright sky, and a thought flashed through his mind——New Year's Eve.

At the same time, he understood Wang Hetai's intention to call Yang Shiyu away in advance. Wang Hetai wanted to use the sound of fireworks to cover up the gunfire, and kill Yang Shiyu unconsciously when the fireworks attracted the attention of all the guests.

It took less than half a second to think about this, and Jin Zhou was completely overwhelmed by a sense of ominousness. He didn't have time to go to the back to get a chair, and looked back from the sky to the platform below, only to hear another explosion of fireworks With a loud sound, Wang Hetai pulled the trigger at the right time. Yang Shiyu was hit by the bullet, fell back and fell off the railing.

"Yang..."

Yang Shiyu! ! !

Things happened so fast, Jin Zhou stood up abruptly, unable to believe the scene in front of him.

Wang Hetai went to the railing to check, and he must have confirmed that Yang Shiyu had fallen into the sea, so he put away his gun in satisfaction, turned around and walked back.

Jin Zhou's remaining rationality reminded him not to be found, and he squatted back behind the potted plant with his legs out of strength, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

Can't……

Nothing can happen to Yang Shiyu...

Liu Shen recklessly called the police and an ambulance, and Jin Zhou couldn't even find his original voice.

He walked down the stairs unsteadily, trying to find a place to jump into the sea to find Yang Shiyu, but at this moment, there were suddenly dense footsteps under the stairs, and Ren Wen Li led a group of policemen disguised as waiters to the floor where Wang Hetai was.

There was a mess in his mind, and Jin Zhou rushed to Ren Wenli in two or three steps, completely ignoring why Ren Wenli appeared here. In short, he grabbed her arm first, and said with a pale face: "Officer Ren, Ren Wenli is here!" Officer, listen to me, Yang Shiyu..."

"I know." Ren Wenli should also wonder why Jin Zhou is here, but she obviously didn't care so much, and comforted, "Don't panic, we have colleagues below, and they are already searching for rescue."

The three souls and seven souls who had run away finally returned to the main body, Jin Zhou propped one hand on the wall, let the police out of the way, and slowly calmed down his abnormal heartbeat.

He comforted himself that Ren Wenli's presence meant it was planned.

As soon as Yang Shiyu fell into the water, the police went to search and rescue him, so he will be fine.

Falling into the water from such a high place, the impact force he endured is no different from hitting the concrete floor, not to mention that Yang Shiyu was also injured by a gunshot...

No, he still had to go and see.

Jin Zhou's heart was once again shrouded in unease. He tremblingly supported the wall and was about to go down, but at this moment, the voices of Ren Wenli and Wang Hetai sounded from the door of the luxury suite.

"Wang Hetai, you are now suspected of intentional murder, and we will arrest you."

"Arrest?" Wang Hetai raised his hands cooperatively, but his expression was still relaxed, "Officer, you have to give evidence in everything. Tell me who I murdered? If you arrest people randomly again, I won't let it go this time."

Ren Wenli put away the gun in her hand, took out the handcuffs from her waist, and signaled her men to search the room with her eyes.

Wang Hetai was pressed against the wall with his hands cut behind his back, and his tone was a little angry: "I warn you, if you arrest people without evidence, I will make you go all the way."

Seeing Wang Hetai's confident appearance, Jin Zhou guessed that some security guards who were not controlled by the police had tipped him off, and he had probably wiped the fingerprints on the gun and thrown it into the sea, so he was so sure The police could find no evidence.

"Wang Hetai." Jin Zhou pushed aside the crowd in front of him, walked in front of Wang Hetai expressionlessly, and confronted the murderer of his parents for the first time as Jin Zhou, "Who says there is no evidence?"

Wang Hetai frowned, probably because he had a premonition, looked Jin Zhou up and down and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" Jin Zhou shook the mobile phone in his hand, which contained a video he had recorded since hearing the two talking, and said in a cold voice, "I am a witness."
