With that said, A Li left this place.

…

…

The old captain walked quickly but also calmly arrived at the rest area of ​​the White Jade employees.

"Captain, what are you..." In the corridor, an aunt holding cleaning tools happened to meet Mu Enli around the corner.

"I have nothing to do." Mu Enli shook his head, "Don't panic, Sister Cui."

The cleaning lady nodded quickly, and then said worriedly: "But...but I heard that the police..."

"It's okay, it will be okay soon." Mu Enli comforted softly.

Ah Cui's wife then patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Captain, if you say it's okay, it must be okay. I believe you!"

He can give everyone on the ship a sense of peace of mind, just like a huge and heavy anchor. No matter how violent the ocean is, as long as the anchor is there, the White Jade will be stable.

"I remember your child is going to high school soon, right? His name is... by the way, Zhang Laiming, right." Mu Enli smiled.

"Captain, do you still remember the baby's name?"

"That kid is not bad, he will be promising in the future." Mu Enli said softly, and then randomly gave instructions: "You twisted your waist last month, keep an eye on yourself, don't be too tired."

"I understand!"

"Go to work."

Along the way, besides Mrs. Cui, he also met several other people working on the ship. He said hello and chatted a few words, but he was always able to tell each other's daily affairs.

"Captain! I'm getting married next month! You must come!"

"Captain, come to my house for dinner next time! My mother brought a batch of old rice wine from my hometown!"

"Captain... seems to say that the police are looking for you, you... you must be careful yourself!"

"captain……"

Thank you, thank you.

…

Standing in front of his bedroom door, Mu Enli took a deep breath. He opened the door without closing it. He walked to the bed and pushed it open.

Mu Enli could naturally see that the wallpaper where removed had peeled off, and thought that Mu Qinghai might have gotten it.

He sighed, his eyes were a little complicated, and then sad. He silently took out his pocket watch, opened it as well, then opened the cover on the back of the pocket, took out a very small key, and inserted it into the only keyhole.

The opening was not large, so Mu Enli reached in with both hands and pulled out a box. It was a very old leather box, and there were even cracks in many places on the leather.

Mu Enli held it and patted it gently. He didn't say anything, just walked to the closet and found a clean captain's uniform and hat.

After tidying up, Mu Enli stretched out his hand to pull the front edge of his hat, picked up the old suitcase, closed the door, and left.

He didn't want to meet anyone this time.

So I chose a very quiet road.

He is more familiar with the White Jade than anyone else, and naturally no one can compare to him when it comes to what he wants to avoid. The spiral staircase that is rarely used, the safe passage that is rarely used, and the old extension ladder.

He climbed to the whistle of the White Jade. This was not the highest place on the White Jade, but except for maintenance, there was no place for anyone to come.

Mu Enli walked to the edge, put down the suitcase, and opened it. He had not opened the suitcase for a long, long time, but everything inside could still be fresh in his memory.

It's like seeing yesterday.

There is an old-fashioned silver pistol that can only hold six rounds of ammunition.

He took out the gun, and then closed the leather case again... Mu Enli took a deep breath, held him up with both hands, gritted his teeth suddenly, and threw it out hard... When no one saw it, the leather case

The box sank into the sea water without any accident.

"This...my sin..."

He closed his eyes, put the old pistol deep into his mouth, and clasped his fingers lightly...but there was no trace of fear in his expression, calm...as calm as the sea in front of him.

"Old sir, if this shot goes down, your life will really be over this time."

Mu Enli subconsciously opened his eyes and put down his gun. After a while, he turned around and looked at the person who was talking to him... He remembered the voice, and now he could see the person's appearance clearly.

This man whose age is impossible to estimate wearing a mask.

Mu Enli suddenly said: "In my life, I have fought in wars, killed pirates... I have encountered all kinds of strange things, but there are still some magical things that are unexpected. Will you really take away my soul?

?”

"Of course." The boss said calmly: "According to the content of the contract, it is indeed the case."

"What is the soul?" Mu Enli shook his head: "When a person dies and his thoughts are destroyed, what else can the so-called soul feel?"

"Soul..." The boss turned around and looked at the sea and said: "Probably, it can be regarded as another form of continuation of life."

"Continuation..." The old captain was silent for a while, and then looked at the sea and said: "I already have a continuation... that kind of illusory thing, I don't want to understand it anymore."

"Of course, this is also your choice, old sir."

Boss Luo nodded: "I'm just here to remind you, Mr., that according to the contract, you actually still have a few days...but if you insist on ending it here, we will not change the contract.

So, think about it."

Mu Enli shook his head: "Too many unexpected things happened...so it's unnecessary. It's been delayed for a long time, the variables are too big, and I can't afford to lose."

"Then, I won't disturb you anymore." Boss Luo nodded, backed away... and disappeared.

The old captain looked at the deserted place... He always felt like he had heard the phrase "I won't disturb you" somewhere.

He shook his head. The arrival of this mysterious businessman did not change his plan, and such interruption did not seem to make him shake his determination to seek death.

"I'm here to accompany you."

Mu Enli said silently in his heart, and swallowed the pistol into his mouth again, pressing it against the roof of his mouth.

"Dad no!!"

…

"Dad! Don't be impulsive!!" Mu Qinghai rushed forward nervously.

He was panting heavily, thinking that he was desperately rushing for time along the way, but he did not dare to use force on Mu Enli... He knew his father's stubborn character very well.

"What else are you doing here? What I want to say to you, I already made it very clear when we were in the office! Have you forgotten it?" Mu Enli looked at Mu Qinghai with a stern look on his face.

That was the sternest expression Mu Qinghai had ever seen on Mu Enli for the first time in his life.

"I heard it! I heard it all... How could I not hear it?" Mu Qinghai said painfully: "While you were talking to Officer Ma and the others, you secretly used the communicator under the table and asked me in Morse code

Quiet...I...can't you hear me?"

Mu Qinghai knelt on the ground in pain, "I don't care whether you did anything harmful thirty years ago! I don't care whether you are a so-called agent... But you have raised me for thirty years.

I was abandoned at the dock. If it weren't for you, there would be no Mu Qinghai today! Dad, even if we are not biological, if you are to blame me for this, am I still a human being? But you... you can

Why did you threaten me at that time, threaten me with your own life! Force me to be silent! Do you know how uncomfortable I am!"

"I don't have long to live, I don't even have a few days left." Mu Enli shook his head and sighed: "You stupid boy, can you afford to risk your own future for me, a person who is about to be in a coffin? Money.

Guo Liang came to negotiate with me, but I failed to kill him and instead let him escape. As a last resort, I had to monitor and replace the video... You should be the one you saw at that time, right?"

Mu Qinghai shed tears and nodded silently, "I...I saw you when I went back to get the keys. At that time, I didn't know what you were going to do, and I didn't say anything. I just saw you laundering the money.

The part when Guo Liang escaped from your room...I originally planned to ask you, but looking at you...your expression at that time was so...I have never seen you like this before, it was too scary...too strange..."

Mu Enli shook his head and sighed: "Is it scary? Silly boy, when you and I killed the pirates, we looked ten times more terrifying than this... I originally wrote down Qian Guoliang's location, but I can't wait until I get there.

When I was looking for him, I couldn't see anyone. You must have taken him away first. When Qian Guoliang died, I knew just by looking at the place where he appeared that... that person was you."

Mu Qinghai nodded, "Dad...you, you knew it was me from the very beginning?"

Mu Enli breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The small space above the utility room, I knew it was you as soon as I saw it... You were still young at that time, and I went out on the boat all day long, so I took you with me. But you were naughty,

I hide every once in a while. That place is the place you used to hide from people. Do you think I am an old fool?"

"Dad...you, you still remember."

"Why don't I remember?" Mu Enli smiled bitterly and looked around: "As if you can find this place... You are familiar with me, don't I know you too? Silly boy!"

"I……"

"But you stupid boy! Did you really do this kind of murder just for the sake of the treasure?"

"No! No!" Mu Qinghai said quickly: "I don't care about the treasure at all! It was him! When I found him! He told me that you were probably an agent! And about the box! He promised

If I save him, he will give me a lot of benefits! But!"

Mu Qinghai's eyes widened and he said: "I can't do this! I can't do this! I can't let your affairs be exposed! I can't, I can't... I really can't! I want to destroy this! I want you to enjoy your old age.

! I want you to watch me have a successful career! I want you to watch me get married and start a family... Dad! I don’t want to watch you go to jail! Dad, if I hadn’t met you in this life, I might have died on the dock long ago... I

I will never let you suffer! I want you to retire from the White Jade in glory, and I want you to always be the flawless captain in the hearts of the crew! I don’t want it to be broken! Dad... I will never allow your life to have anything like this.

Stain! But you...but why did you surrender in the end! Why!!"

Mu Enli sighed and said: "Silly boy, how can a person's life be without stains... I am not as perfect as you think. But whatever, I have also explained the matter of bringing the box, and Qian Guoliang...
To be continued...
