A pungent smell wafted into everyone's noses.

Song Qingyuan followed the candlelight and looked to the ground, only to see water droplets flowing down from the side of the man's pants.

This is...... Scared to pee!

When Song Qingyuan found out, others also found out.

Li Shi directly widened his eyes, covered his nose, and at the same time lay on Song Qingyuan's ear, and whispered, "Girl, quickly take out the embroidered handkerchief and cover your nose." ”

Song Qingyuan did not move.

On the side of the merchant surnamed Wang, he had already instructed the subordinates beside him to help him up and bring him into the room.

The captain of the boat was in the dark hallway, looking back at the crowd.

"I'm going to go check it out, who wants to go with me?"

"I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

Two burly, suspected dart walkers stepped forward.

On the side of the merchant surnamed Wang, another subordinate was also sent.

On the Song family's side, Master Jiang, and Tian Dakui all planned to go to see the situation.

Hongling's eyes glanced at everyone, and without saying much, he held the knife in his hand and turned around and walked towards the bow of the boat.

"You ......"

Looking at Hongling's movements, the boat boss wanted to persuade him.

If it is really dead, the scene must be bloody, and the woman is better off staying in the cabin to rest.

But Hongling's movements are neat, with sharp weapons in his hands, and he looks like a practicing family.

blurted out the words, and was suffocated back by the boat boss, silently following, and the same was true for everyone else.

"Yuan'er, do you want to go over and have a look?" Li asked cautiously.

Song Qingyuan glanced at it, "You're not afraid?" ”

"Scared!" Li patted his chest, "Why aren't you afraid!" ”

"It's a good way to go out, why do you still encounter this kind of thing, it's really unlucky!"

"Not really!" Song Chengyi nodded.

"During the day, Boss Chen was drinking with me, and at night this person was ...... Nope. ”

Song Chengyi stretched out his hands, his neck stretched outward, looking hesitant, wanting to go but not daring to go.

At this time, this happened, and everyone in the boat did not feel sleepy, and gathered together in groups of three or five.

Song Qingyuan and the others were the same, they all went to her room, sat down on the bed, lowered their heads silently, and fell into deep thought.

After the cabin went out, there was a sunken corner, which was a somewhat secluded place.

After turning the corner, you will reach the bow of the boat.

Hongling walked over with everyone, and saw Boss Chen lying in a pool of blood at a glance.

Hongling took two steps forward, squatted down and stretched out his hand to probe, Boss Chen had already lost his breath, and he didn't know how long he had been dead.

His wound was in the neck, and blood ran down his neck to the ship's board.

Hongling stretched out her hand and moved Boss Chen's head.

"You ......"

The boat boss was just about to speak, Hongling shot a cold eye, and the boat boss was excited, so he quickly shut up and held back what he wanted to say.

Hongling turned her head, continued to observe, and said in a deep voice, "Cut your throat and die." ”

"From the perspective of strength and angle, it should be taken advantage of its unpreparedness and start from behind."

As he spoke, Hongling took a knife and picked open the deceased's clothes, stretched out his hand and probed, "Death is no more than an hour." ”

No more than an hour......

The boat boss thought about it, as long as there was a specific time of death, it was easy for the murderer to speculate.

"Go, call everyone to the dining hall and see what everyone is doing in this hour."

The captain turned his head and instructed the men around him.

When the man heard this, he immediately ran to the cabin.

The dining hall is very large, and it is a place specially prepared by the boat family for everyone to eat.

Some passengers are too troublesome to prepare their own food, so they can spend some silver and ask the guys on board to help prepare the food.

If there are more particular guests who think that the food on the ship is not clean, they can also spend money to rent it and cook their own meals.

When Song Qingyuan and the others received the notice from their buddies and rushed to the dining hall, there were already many people seated.

The captain of the ship stood up first and arched his hand, "There was a murder on the ship today, which disturbed everyone's rest and caused you inconvenience, I apologize here. ”

The boat boss clenched his fists and said, "Presumably Boss Chen's business...... You've heard about it. ”

"That's right, the deceased is Boss Chen, this kind of thing happened, and I am deeply saddened by the fact that everyone here is the same."

Speaking of this, the captain of the boat paused, "The ship is now heading south according to the established distance. ”

"Now we have two choices, one is to turn around and go back, and the other is to continue to move forward, get to the next pier, and then go to the government to report the crime."

"I wonder what you mean?"

"Keep going, of course." The middle-aged man with a beard was the first to speak.

"The batch of goods we escorted has a time limit, and if it cannot arrive within the time limit, it must be compensated."

"If you turn around and return now, and delay time, who will pay for this loss."

"I absolutely do not agree to return!"

"Disagree!"

"Disagree!"

"Disagree!"

Several people who were dart shouted one after another, and the loud sound shook people's hearts.

"I don't agree either!" The businessman surnamed Wang was the second to express his position.

"Those of us who run business, who have been away from home for several months, are like arrows, and we really don't want to delay any longer."

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

The passengers have expressed their positions.

Song Qingyuan, Song Chengyi, and the Li family glanced at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes, and they were unwilling.

Erlang is now in the south, being detained, and nothing may happen, at this time, they really shouldn't be delayed.

"We don't want to!" Song Chengyi expressed his position on behalf of the Song family.

The boat boss nodded, "Since everyone is unwilling, then let's stop mentioning the matter of returning and continue to move forward." ”

"According to the distance, there are about two days left to reach the next pier, during which time ......"

"As a precaution, I ask you not to walk around alone."

As he spoke, the captain looked at the guys beside him, "You can count the number of people, but who is missing?" ”

"It's all there, no one is missing." The man replied.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room fell into deep thought, and there was no shortage of people, which showed that the murderer was still among them.

But it's no wonder that they are now on the river, and the murderer has nowhere to run.

If you dive, unless a boat responds, it is a dead end.

The boat boss looked at Hongling and asked politely, "This girl, you may be sure that the time of Boss Chen's death is within an hour." ”

"Yes!" Hongling nodded.

She is the secret guard of the Jinyi Guard, she sees and hears a lot, her hands are stained with blood, and she is good at medicine.

Roughly calculated, the time of a person's death is not a big problem.

"That being the case......" the boat boss thought for a moment.

"Please also tell everyone here what everyone is doing during this hour, and there are witnesses."

"This is to judge us as prisoners!"

The middle-aged man with a beard banged on the table.

looked at the boat boss dissatisfied, and immediately became angry.
