"Well, it seems that the broken area was originally plugged with something, but then the plug was removed, so..."
At this time, hotel owners and boat rental guests also rowed over. Tian Chunda thought for a while and then said to the boss: "Boss, I'm sorry, please think of a way to prevent the ship from sinking and help me drag it back to the shore? I want to check it later..."
"oh!"
The boss's expression seemed a little unnatural, but Tian Chunda ignored it. He just turned to Zhu Shi and said, "Miss, let me take you home first! Take a hot bath immediately after you get home and warm yourself up; otherwise you will catch a cold. Yo!"
"um. Thank you."
So Tian Chunda slowly rowed away in a boat, leaving the hotel owner and people who came to watch the excitement to clean up the aftermath.
Zhu Shi, who was sitting on the boat, seemed to have calmed down. She silently rested her head on Yuan Zhuang's broad chest.
Although Yuan Zhuang is unattractive in appearance, he has a very strong physique. Look at the way Zhu Shi is clinging to his chest, like delicate vines climbing up an old pine tree.
Tian Chunda looked at Zhu Shi at such a close distance and felt deeply that her face was too beautiful to say anything.
Tian Chunda faced Yuan Zhuang and said, "You said just now that this is the third time. Does this happen often?"
When Yuan Zhuang heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes that were not big in the first place. On the one hand, he tried to guess Tian Chunda's intention, and on the other hand, he answered cautiously: "Yes! Some strange things often happen these days, so I am very worried..."
"Strange thing?"
"Oh! It's nothing! Yuan Zhuang, don't pay attention to that matter, it doesn't matter at all."
"It's nothing? Miss, if it's really something, it will endanger your life! In short, I believe that all this can't be explained clearly with just one sentence."
"Hey! You said life was endangered? What on earth is going on?" Tian Chunda asked with concern.
"Once, a venomous snake appeared in the lady's dormitory. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise she would have been seriously injured even if she was not bitten to death. Then another time, the brakes of the car suddenly failed, and the lady almost took the car with her. Climb down the cliff..."
"Yuan Zhuang, stop talking, those are just coincidences."
"No! I always feel like I don't know when something more terrible will happen again. Alas! When I think about this, I get extremely worried..."
"Don't worry! Nothing will happen again. If you always worry about me, it will make me feel uneasy."
Amidst the arguments between Zhu Shi and Yuan Zhuang, the boat slowly rowed into the sluice of Hong Li's house.
Tian Chunda left the two of them on the embankment, ignored their thanks, and then rowed in the direction of the hotel.
Along the way, he kept pondering what he just heard from Yuan Zhuang.
The venomous snakes in the dormitory, the car breakdown, and today's incident with holes in the boat... all of this does not seem to be accidental, but deliberately planned by someone.
If all this was premeditated, then this person's target must be Zhu Shi, and perhaps there is some connection between this incident and the worries of the person who wrote to me!
correct! Isn’t the person who wrote the letter coming? Maybe he's already at the hotel.
Thinking of this, Tian Chunda couldn't help but row the oars hard.
****
As soon as Tian Cunda arrived at the hotel, the waitress came to him and said, "A guest came to visit you just now. I will take him to your room first."
After Tian Chunda heard this, he quickly walked to the room on the second floor, but he saw no sign of the guest. He only saw that the cigarette in the ashtray had not been put out, and there was a strange hat in the corner of the room.
Tian Chunda thought, he probably went to the bathroom!
Tian Chunta then sat on a wicker chair and waited for the guest to come back, but after waiting for a long time, the guest still did not show up. At this time, he began to feel a little impatient, so he rang the bell to call the waitress.
"What's going on? I haven't seen the guest yet!"
"Huh? No? Or did he go to the bathroom?"
"It didn't take that long to go to the bathroom, right? Could it be that he went to the wrong room? Can you check it for me?"
"Okay! This is strange. Where will it go?"
The waitress walked out of the room with a puzzled look on her face, but not long after, a sharp scream came from the corridor.
That's the waitress's voice!
Tian Chunda couldn't help being surprised, and then ran to follow the sound, only to find the waitress standing in front of the bathroom with a pale face.
"what happened?"
"First, sir...guest...guest..."
Tian Chunda looked in the direction pointed by the waitress and found that the bathroom door was ajar and there was a pair of men's feet on the ground.
He held his breath and opened the bathroom door. Unexpectedly, the scene in front of him made him freeze there.
It turned out that a man wearing sunglasses was lying on the bathroom floor.
Judging from the messy appearance of his coat collar and scarf, it seemed that he had struggled hard before falling to the ground. Even the color of his fingers grabbing the floor was very prominent. In addition, there were stains of blood on the white tiles where the man had vomited. .
After Tian Chunda was stunned for a while, he quietly approached the man and detected his pulse.
It's a pity that this man has passed away.
He took off the sunglasses the man was wearing, turned around and asked the waitress: "Have you ever seen this man?"
The waitress glanced at the man fearfully.
"Ah! He is Mr. Lin Ruo! He is the assistant of lawyer Gu Gong."
The waitress's words shocked Tian Chunda. Once again he stood there blankly.
The person who killed Lin Ruo must have known that Lin Ruo wanted to reveal the secret to police officer Tian Chunda, so he committed this cruel atrocity to avoid future troubles.
It can also be said that the murderer already knew Tian Chunda's character and was now openly challenging him.
When Tian Chunda thought of this, he became furious. At the same time, he decided to give the murderer a head-on blow.
As mentioned before, Tian Chunda initially had a dubious attitude towards this matter. He even doubted whether Lin Ruo's worries would really come true.
However, now that these doubts have been clarified, it seems that this incident is more difficult than what Lin Ruoxin described.
Lin Ruo's body was autopsied and the cause of death was determined that day. According to the autopsy report, he was poisoned to death. Miraculously, the poison was not in his stomach, but in his lungs.
In other words, Lin Ruo did not eat poison, but inhaled it and died.
After the cause of his death was determined, the police immediately focused their investigation on the cigarette butts remaining in the ashtray.
It was a type of cigarette imported from abroad. After analysis by the police, it was learned that poison was indeed mixed in the tobacco. However, what was puzzling was that the only cigarette that was mixed with poison was the one smoked by Lin Ruo.
From the fact that there were several non-toxic cigarettes in Lin Ruo's cigarette box, it seemed that the murderer did not clearly determine the date of Lin Ruo's death. It seemed that no matter when, as long as he died recently.
