The Hero Kneels

Walking out of the woods, Ye Dou was about to go to the small street outside the scenic spot to buy breakfast, when he suddenly heard a burst of sirens in a hurry from the opposite scenic street.

I saw three or four police cars and an ambulance with flashing lights, driving towards the Baihua Lake in the scenic spot like lightning. The speed was extremely fast, which attracted the attention of many pedestrians on the road.

Something big must have happened in the scenic area last night.

Ye Dou didn't have time to think about it. After buying a pancake for four yuan, he rushed to the Huashen Lake.

When I got there, the police set up a cordon around the lake again.

And there were actually two naked male corpses floating by the lake.

Maybe it's because the police cars were too conspicuous just now, and people are constantly coming here to watch after hearing the news.

Not long after, the two corpses were also salvaged ashore by the management of the scenic spot. The appearance of the two of them was the same as that of the floating corpse yesterday.

"It's Old Xu, how could it be the old Xu of the camera?"

"I saw Lao Xu walking by the lake last night, why did he..."

The staff in the crew recognized one of the corpses, it was Xu, the cameraman in their crew.

"Fuck, why is it Hu Lian?"

A familiar voice rang in Ye Dou's ears, and the person who made the voice was Ming Kai.

"Yes, how could it be Hu Lian?"

"What the hell happened?"

A few classmates around Ming Kai were also terrified, and a few female classmates even screamed and left the crowd, unable to bear to look any longer.

Ye Dou also knew Hu Lian who was floating in the water. The other party was also a fresh graduate from their school. He was also one of the group performers. He had met him several times. It seemed that he was on the boat with Hu Lian last night. I met you.

In order to prove it, he immediately pulled Ming Kai out of the crowd and brought him to a secluded place.

"Ming Kai, didn't Hu Lian play on that boat like us last night? Do you remember when he got off the boat?" Ye Dou stared at Ming Kai seriously.

"Last night? Wasn't it closed when we left the boat? I didn't see Hu Lian get off the boat, but he should have left long ago."

Ming Kai asked strangely, "Why are you asking this?"

"You're right. I don't seem to have seen Hu Lian disembark."

Ye Dou said expressionlessly: "Actually, after sending you back to the hotel, I forgot my mobile phone on the boat, so I went back to look for it, and saw some strange things..."

"What did you see?" Ming Kai asked curiously, he liked the suspenseful tone very much.

"I didn't find anyone on the painting boat, but there was a red candle burning in the room inside."

Ye Dou said in a low voice: "After I found the phone, I met a strange woman. The woman said she had a good show for me, and insisted on taking me to the cabin, but there was no one there, and the door suddenly closed. It took a lot of effort to escape, and no one was seen again, and then the painting boat disappeared in Huashen Lake."

"Wow, what you said is so scary!"

As a supernatural lover, Ming Kai not only had no fear, but showed excitement on his face: "You mean that Hu Lian's death may have something to do with that boat?"

"Most likely!"

Ye Dou nodded: "Let's go to that painting boat to find out more tonight."

Ming Kai's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

The two continued to film during the day, but they obviously felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the crew.

Even the director frowned when filming, and when the filming failed, he would often stare and swear, and would speak foul words.

There's no way, it's not a good sign that two of the crew will die this time, and anyone else will feel unhappy.

In the evening, the Huashen Lake snack night market opened again, and several colorful boats on the lake came out with lanterns and festoons.

Tourists who came to enjoy the night view became bustling with time.

Ye Dou and Ming Kai soon found the big boat called Baihua Huafang on the shore.

The other party still stopped at the old position, and they boarded the ship with a few guests. The welcoming cheongsam woman on the deck had a soft and smooth voice, "Boss, Boss" kept yelling.

"Did the two bosses come here yesterday? Welcome, we have a few more beautiful girls on board today, and some of them have won beauty pageant championships. Please pay attention to the two bosses." The welcoming woman seems to have a good memory. Well, immediately greeted him with a smile.

Ye Dou nodded, expressionless.

"Yesterday, a classmate of mine came here to play, but something happened, so I want to ask the girl who was with him yesterday, you can call her, even if I hire her, one thousand yuan an hour Money." Ming Kai was extremely wealthy, his arrogance leaked out.

Poverty limits my imagination!

Ye Dou didn't expect that he would give a thousand yuan to a girl for a chat. Ye Dou didn't expect that this person would be so generous. After all, he was a local tycoon with 30 chain food stores in his family.

"Your classmate yesterday...is the young man who was found in the lake today? Then Xiao Huang received him last night. The police have already talked to Xiao Huang. Since the boss wants to see you so much, I will go and call her."

Due to the occurrence of several consecutive death cases, the business of painting boats is actually not good, and the passenger flow is much less than yesterday.

Seeing Ming Kai's generosity, Miss Yingbin didn't refuse, and simply led the two of them towards the VIP room area on the third floor.

Ye Dou and Ming Kai were taken to a VIP room to wait.

Soon, the girl named Xiao Huang was called.

Xiao Huang is an innocent girl in her late teens, with a thin body and a flat body under the cheongsam. She looks like an immature little girl. When she saw Ye Dou and Ming Kai, they looked a little confused.

It is estimated that she has not yet figured out why someone is willing to spend a thousand yuan to chat with her.

"Miss Huang, please sit down, we asked you here to ask about Hu Lian's classmate last night, that is, the young man who was found in the water today." Ming Kai asked straight to the point.

"You are talking about that guest. The police have already asked me for questioning this afternoon. He was my last guest last night. He seemed to be slightly drunk from the game and said he liked me... and then he came to me after midnight. I went downstairs to check out by myself, and said my stomach was a little uncomfortable."

"Is your stomach uncomfortable?" Ming Kai was taken aback.

Xiao Huang nodded: "Before getting off the boat, he seemed to have said that he had some pain in his stomach, but I don't know anything else.

Ye Dou stared at the other party and observed the other party's expression. As a dramatist, he was very familiar with the traces of performance. He didn't see any signs of performance from the other party's expression, but it gave him a feeling of disharmony.

Sometimes half-truths and half-false words are quite deceptive, and there is no trace of acting.

"What else will your boat do after closing?" Ye Dou narrowed his eyes and asked.

"After closing, we would disembark and go home, and then there would be cleaners cleaning the dock."

"Then let me ask you again! After closing, will the rooms on your ship be lit with red candles?" Ye Dou asked again.

"Red candle?"

Xiao Huang frowned slightly: "Light red candles in the boat? Impossible, no one would light red candles in the house, it's really unlucky to do so."

"It's unlucky to light a red candle? Why?" Ye Dou frowned and asked.

Aren't red candles special for festive festivals?

How could it be unlucky?
