Volume 1 Beginning of Summer Chapter 42 Cruise
There were so many entertainment activities on the cruise ship that night fell before we knew it.
Rouwan followed Liu Jiamin to the presidential suite on the 12th floor. The suite had a deck of more than 60 square meters and a private swimming pool.
David and his guests are still in the theater.
Liu Jiamin let them play freely first.
She drank a glass of orange juice.
She didn't expect that when she opened her eyes again, she would see a full moon.
Hanging on the canopy.
Imprinted in her eyes.
So big and so bright.
It seems like I can touch it with my hand.
So she held out her hand.
She heard a bell.
Her hands in the moonlight.
pale.
cold.
She felt cold.
Only cold.
She tried to turn her head and saw a face with closed eyes, wet hair stuck to it and a frighteningly pale face. It was Li Qingning, her roommate on the boat.
She heard the bell again.
At the same time she seemed to have regained some strength.
She tilted her head slightly upward.
She saw a tall man in a black robe drawing something on the ground with a long black tube.
She squinted her eyes and tried hard to see.
It was a very complex pattern.
Like a magic circle.
They are sacrifices.
Maru suddenly realized this.
Want to escape.
He dug his fingers into the ground and tried to move his body upwards.
The sound of water.
Yes, she was in the swimming pool.
She pulled her body up with both hands, and then used her hands and feet to move outwards little by little. She remembered where the door was.
At this time, the man in the black robe turned his head.
Eye contact.
It's David Brown.
Her body was frozen, unable to move. She wanted to move, she wanted to escape. What should she do? What should she do...
Approaching her step by step.
Blocking the moonlight bit by bit.
A shadow gradually fell over her.
The door of the room opened.
She turned around and saw Liu Jiamin walking out. A little hope appeared in her eyes. She was about to call for help when she saw Liu Jiamin's eyes.
She realized they were in cahoots.
She heard the bell again.
He suddenly broke free from his restraints, ran to the guardrail and flipped over in David's shocked eyes.
"return!"
She heard David's command.
The tattoo location on the side of the waist causes burning pain.
She loosened her hand.
Leap back.
Falling.
The sea water enveloped her body.
She vaguely heard sounds from the boat.
"What should we do?" Liu Jiamin asked.
"If he's dead, then he's dead. Let's continue preparing for the ceremony." David said coldly, "Keep an eye on the other girls."
Down. Drown.
The clear sound of bells lingered in her ears.
Transparent silk threads emerged from the bell and wrapped around her arms in circles.
She saw the moon again.
The moon shone through the sea and fell into her eyes.
The body becomes lighter.
She gradually approached the moon.
She saw the light.
Soft and warm.
"Am I dead?" she heard her own voice.
"No."
She heard the answer, and the voice sounded familiar.
Then she saw Jiang You.
“It’s you.”
“That’s me.”
She found she could move, and she half sat up.
"Upstairs, my friends, they... are going to call the police... No, I want to save them ..." In an instant, all the memories came back to her mind.
Jiang You sat next to her and put a bottle of mineral water in her hand. "They will be fine. It's only eleven o'clock now."
Wanzi unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water. She calmed down a little and asked, "Eleven o'clock?"
"The ceremony can only begin at twelve o'clock. We are here for this purpose. Be at ease."
"But now they are..."
"If the fish doesn't bite, then it's all in vain. And he's an American, so his identity is not bad. If there's not enough evidence, they can drag it out for years. "
"Are you an exorcist?"
"No, I'm a people's policeman. I received a tip from an informant that someone was going to commit criminal activities on the cruise ship," Jiang You pointed at Tang Butian who was standing by the door, "This is my leader, and she 's an expert who's in charge of this area."
Only then did Wanzi see Tang Butian.
So small. So delicate that it doesn't look like a real person.
"She also changed your clothes." Jiang You said.
Maru lowered her head. She was wearing a very loose striped shirt.
Tang Butian walked up to Wan Zi and showed her police ID. "This is a law enforcement recorder and a voice recorder. Now we need to interrogate you according to the law."
"OK."
"Why are you on the cruise?"
Maru closed his eyes and opened them again after a few seconds.
"At the beginning of June, my agent asked me if I was willing to participate in this cruise event. I had originally planned to attend the Anime Carnival on June 24th. The school would issue graduation certificates on July 15th, and I would return to school after returning on the 14th. The timing was just right, so I agreed."
"broker?"
"It's Maomao."
"Real name."
Wanzi thought for a moment and said, "Gu Wen, yes, Gu Wen."
"How did she describe the content of this event to you?"
“I just need to dance.”
"Do you believe it? There are so many professional performances on the cruise ship?"
“Coconut Club has always been very reputable.”
"This is not credibility, this is ambition. I will use a little benefit to exchange for most of your lives." Jiang You's voice interrupted.
Maru lowered his head again.
"Describe your experience today." Tang Butian continued to ask.
“We have a WeChat group…”
"How many people?"
"About 33, and Liu Jiamin, 34."
"Go on."
Maruzi organized her words. "After we got on board, Liu Jiamin told us that we could move freely before 9pm. After afternoon tea, I went to soak in the swimming pool for a while, then had two pizzas in the restaurant. After returning to the room to take a shower and change clothes, we gathered and went upstairs."
"Then what?"
"After we arrived, only Liu Jiamin was in the suite. She told me that David and his guests were watching a show in the theater and had not returned yet, so she asked us to have some fun on the deck. She played some music, and there were drinks and snacks on the deck, as well as a swimming pool. I drank a glass of orange juice, and when I woke up..."
Maru's body trembled.
She folded her arms across her chest and bent forward. "David, he was drawing something that looked like a magic circle. Then we were piled into the swimming pool. I, I climbed out. I...then, I was discovered..." Her body trembled violently, and her upper and lower teeth knocked together. "Then I jumped in."
Her legs were bent and her whole body was trembling and curled up into a ball.
"Do you remember how you were rescued?"
“I…I…”
"I think it's about time." Jiang You interrupted the interrogation.
"Yeah." Tang Butian pursed her lips.
"When are we going up?"
"Wait for the signal."
Tang Butian turned off the law enforcement recorder and voice recorder, "I'll go get ready."
"Okay, leave the meatballs to me."
