Chapter 180 Ferry Assassination
The Star Pier, located in Tsim Sha Tsui, is a relatively small one among the several piers on Hong Kong Island, but the throughput of people on weekdays is also very exaggerated.
Today is Thursday. Passengers leaving and disembarking are hurried, shoulder to shoulder. From time to time, women’s screams and men’s yells can be heard from the crowd.
But even with the crowds, there is still a vague hollow space.
I saw a group of people in suits or black shirts and black trousers forming a circle, surrounding a man in the middle, separating others, and walking to the boat in an orderly manner.
The man in the middle was holding a paper umbrella, wearing a robe, sunglasses and a felt hat. He looked like a young man who had returned from studying abroad but had a conservative style.
This very handsome man is none other than Yuan Tianwang.
At this moment, he was walking, twisting his neck, and taking a general look around without moving his shoulders.
Chen San carefully approached him, not letting the smell of corpses on his body affect the other person's mood.
"Sir, my brothers have all checked and there is no suspicious person nearby."
Yuan Tianwang glanced at him and said, "If you can find out that he is suspicious so easily, then he should stop messing around."
However, after saying this, Yuan Tianwang still showed no intention of blaming him. He just walked slowly with neither happiness nor anger on his face.
After a while, he finally stepped onto the steps to board the ship.
After a pause, Yuan Tianwang leaned on the railing, glanced back, and sighed: "Although Hong Kong Island is prosperous, it is not a place to raise people. It cannot be stayed for a long time. It is just a passing cloud."
Chen San behind him also sighed sincerely, "Although Hong Kong Island is full of gold, who can see the layers of bones underneath?"
Yuan Tianwang glanced at him nonchalantly, "Where are the bones everywhere? The world is like this. If you want to eat well, if you want to live a better life, you have to step on other people's bodies and move up."
As if remembering some unpleasant experience, Yuan Tianwang snorted coldly, stopped paying attention to everyone, turned around and entered the cabin.
“Boss, our new boss’s temper seems to be difficult to figure out?”
Chen San glared at the talkative person, "Speak less and no one will forget you. Remember, he is an adult, not a boss. If you dare to scream again, I will pluck out your tongue!" < br>
As he spoke, Chen San bent down to say hello to the blood-dropping master in a suit and leather suit, and followed him into the cabin.
"Auntie, can you please stop pushing your waves against me?"
"Excuse me! You think you are flying in business class or luxury class. The aisle is so narrow. You can wait until everyone is seated."
"I'm not talking about the bag of balls below, I'm talking about the pair above!"
"Ouch! If it were anyone else, I would definitely slap him. Seeing how handsome you are, my husband has returned to the countryside, so just treat me as a disadvantage and let you take advantage!"
"Thanks! I'm afraid I'm not doing enough!"
Yin Xiu walked to the other side as if fleeing, and then took a breath of fresh air.
Before he came up, he didn't expect that there were so many people on the boat. He thought it would take a lot of effort to disguise it, but in the end, he just followed the flow of people and came up.
According to the travel plan, the ship will first start from the Star Ferry Terminal and sail to Victoria Harbor, where it will drop off people and then follow the coastline, passing through southern Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shanghai and Shanghai, and finally arriving at Tianjin.
The lady who was carrying a large bag of rubber balls just now had obviously replenished the goods and was preparing to disembark at Victoria Harbor.
After the flow of people calmed down a little, Yin Xiu sat down near the window. From here, you could see the water at a glance. The ferries on the side were entering and leaving the port. It was very lively.
He had already changed out of his suit and put back on the long dark blue trench coat. He wore long boots on his feet and gloves on his hands. His clothes were simple and straight.
With Yuan Tianwang's temperament and status, it is definitely impossible for him to stay down there and sit with this group of common people. If the imperial court hadn't set up a decent office here, he would have taken an official ferry instead of taking this civilian ferry.
But if this were the case, Yin Xiu would not have the opportunity to board the ship so arrogantly.
Instead of rushing to take action, Yin Xiu sat in her seat and closed her eyes to rest. After the ferry docked at Victoria Harbor and put down a large number of short-distance passengers, the real voyage began.
The noise in the cabin seemed to have stopped all of a sudden. Everyone was sitting on the chairs, feeling drowsy as the water waves rose and fell, and the sounds of children crying could be heard from time to time.
Yin Xiu took out the small wine bottle he carried with him, took a sip of wine, stood up, and stretched his muscles.
Once the ship leaves the harbor, people become rootless on the water, floating up and down with the waves.
But Yin Xiu walked in this bumpy cabin, every step was steady, neither fast nor slow. Others had to hold on to the back of a chair or a pillar when walking, but he didn't even move his shoulders.
"Hey, man, this is business class up here, you have to have a ticket to get up there."
When he walked outside the cabin, an Indian sailor wearing a red turban stopped him and looked at Yin Xiu up and down.
"Dude, I have a friend up there. I'm going to go up to him and just have a chat."
"I don't care."
The sailor stretched out his hand, which was tanned and seemed to be getting darker, and stopped at the edge of the stairs.
"I told you, you have to have a business class ticket. In that case, no one will care about you when you walk around the ship, as long as you don't enter the cockpit."
"Oh, where is the cockpit?"
"There!"
The sailor subconsciously pointed to the bow of the ship, and then he realized, "Why are you asking so many questions? Go back and sit down in your seat. The wind and waves will get bigger later, and a wave will come over. I can't even find you even if I want to collect the body!" ”
Yin Xiu smiled, took out a few bills from his pocket, and stuffed them into the sailor's pocket.
The sailor looked at him deeply and said seriously: "Brother, I am a principled person."
"I know that people like you must have principles, otherwise what will happen if the boat is delayed?"
As he spoke, Yin Xiu took out a few more bills and stuffed them into his right pocket.
The sailor lowered his head and began to flip through the passenger list he carried with him, "That friend of yours you mentioned, what is his last name?"
"Ai."
The sailor turned around casually, frowned and said: "I turned over and over, and there is only one Ms. Jiao. Are you looking for her?"
"It's all the same."
Yin Xiu patted him on the shoulder and strode over.
Just after walking up a short flight of stairs, he looked up and saw two people in suits and sunglasses with almost identical looks and clothes at the end of the stairs, looking down at him.
When Yin Xiu saw this, he grinned and said, "We meet again."
