【006】Puzzle

A steady stream of people watched, men, women, young and old, pointing fingers. If there were no survivors, the cause of the accident was to be investigated, and the deceased showed weak water and death; their lips were bruised, their ears and noses were bleeding, and a small amount of bubbles appeared at the bottom of the nose.

After forensic identification, the deceased was suffocated by weak water. The relevant departments identified the cause of the accident and initially identified it as an accident caused by the ship's disrepair, illegal driving and overloading. The responsible person was naturally responsible for all the fault. He made money by ferrying privately and charged ferry fees, giving the victims a tacit understanding of consumers and operators.

The orderly claim started on the scene, with some people crying loudly, and some people scolded the bad-hearted boss to harm others. Zhong Kui closed his eyes slightly, his heart was disorganized, and he didn't dare to say anything more. Even if he said it, who would believe what he said in this situation? It would be better to remain silent and watch the changes in the situation.

A very unexpected scene finally appeared under his patient waiting. Boss Lu and his hob-rock woman appeared in Zhong Kui's sight. Because they were panicked, they did not notice Zhong Kui hiding in the crowd and walked straight to the cordon exit to go through the claiming procedures.

What I didn't expect was that the body that Boss Lu wanted to claim was actually the one who pushed Zhong Kui aside and jumped onto the ship regardless of everything.

Zhong Kui remembered that after Xiao Xu got on the boat, he had never seen this person in the unblocked side of the boat. It should have been the one who pushed him away later and got on the boat.

The wife of Lu's wife cried and cried without arousing people's sympathy, but instead made people disgusted. Some people watched coldly, while others curled their lips and ignored them. Judging from all the signs, it can be seen that the wife of Lu's wife did not get along well with these neighbors.

The boss of the ship was taken away, and the matters related to the claim depended on whether he had joined the insurance company to decide.

The other corpses were claimed after the relevant procedures. What made Zhong Kui feel strange was that no corpse of Xiao Xu was seen appearing from beginning to end.

The salvage work stopped, and the firefighters announced that the murdered people were ten people, and they all had been claimed and they were ready to retreat.

"No, there are eleven people." Zhong Kui suddenly shouted. He felt that Xiao Xu must still be waiting for them to salvage in the cold river, so when he saw that the salvage personnel were about to withdraw, he couldn't help but shout.

When he shouted, Boss Lu, who was squatting beside his wife to comfort him, hurriedly looked at him.

The firefighter, who was so tired, scoffed at the unstunning appearance, dark skin and weird-looking Zhong Kui, said: "What are you yelling around, what do you know?"

Zhong Kui also felt that his approach was a bit reckless. Why should people believe someone who was not a local? He hurriedly explained: "Well, I don't know anything. I just think you seem to continue salvaging it, and maybe you can salvage other people ashore."

"Did you see with your own eyes that there are eleven people on the boat or are you guessing it?" A seemingly serious firefighter stopped the member who wanted to get angry and asked Zhong Kui with kindness.

Zhong Kui hesitated. It was right that he saw that there were eleven people with his own eyes, but when something happened, he was in a state of fainting. How to describe the strange scenes that happened later? Who would believe it? What's more, the salvage ship does have safety risks—

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, based on my intuition, I think you should work harder to get upstream and this distance to salvage."

This person seems to be from the leader. As an industry serving the people, he has no right to refuse the request of this farmer. However, what he said is not based on real evidence, and it is not easy to convince other team members to carry out the salvage work.

Zhong Kui is now in urgent need of supporters, so he turns his attention to Boss Lu.

Boss Lu's wife was clamoring for her husband that something happened at home was originally unlucky. He even delayed the search for a ghost hunter, let's see! Not only did the time delay, but she also killed her brother. She blamed everything that happened on the girl's corpse was stolen.

Boss Lu has his own opinion and is famous for his rude temperament. However, he is quite loyal and understands the worldly ways more than his wife. Both of them are famous for their hot tempers. The so-called: only when the water chestnuts and rice dumplings are quarrels every three days and quarrels every five days.

At this moment, seeing Zhong Kui looking at him for help, he stood up and sweared to the questioning firefighter: "I dare to guarantee that what this big brother said is definitely correct. You just believe him and try it."

As soon as Boss Lu said, he immediately responded to the nearby people who knew him. They all asked the fire brigades that were about to be evacuated and salvaged them from the upstream one by one.

With the request of the people, the fire brigade was not good enough to end. He had to patiently and devote himself to the cumbersome salvage operation of manpower and material resources again. Zhong Kui stood at the bow of the salvage ship, with a serious expression and nervousness. He didn't know how to describe his complicated mentality. He was afraid that he would really salvage Xiao Xu's body and he also hoped that the fire brigade would really salvage her body.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there seemed to be no progress in the salvage work. The onlookers followed from downstream to upstream, and saw that there was no result, they gradually left.

In the end, even Zhong Kui was discouraged, and at the same time he felt embarrassed to face the fire brigade that had worked hard for most of the day. He didn't dare to say more, but he silently followed the salvage team to return to the downstream.

Just then, someone exclaimed, "Hi! Something." This exclamation attracted everyone's attention. I saw that on their hook, I scratched a bag of things that were packed in snakeskin pockets.

The snakeskin pocket was already covered with plankton and moss, and no one knew what was inside. Anyway, when Zhong Kui saw this scene, he was extremely disappointed.

He was very confused about all the things that happened before, how could he see Xiao Xu so coincidental? Why did her smile so weird after the last person got on the boat?

It was the screams of the firefighters next to him that interrupted Zhong Kui's confusing thoughts, and there was a female corpse in his snakeskin pocket!

The female corpse has been severely rotten, and her facial features are eaten by fish, making her face unrecognizable. But her clothes scared Zhong Kui. Isn’t this clothes the clothes Xiao Xu is wearing? Blue bottoms, thin plaid shirt-

Afterwards, Zhong Kui was surprised. At the bottom of the cocoskin pocket, there was an empty wallet, and there was something in the wallet that proved the identity of the deceased. Identity card—

Is she Xiao Xu?
