A Stern Devil

Chapter 176: Intrigue (Part 1)

The situation froze!

Ciro's gun was pointed at Hong Da, while Hong Da's bodyguard pointed his gun at my forehead!

"I think we need to talk now." I took a deep breath, with a slight smile on my face, looking straight into Hong Da's eyes: "Dude, what do you think?"

Hong Da thought for two seconds, then said coldly: "I don't talk to people who point a gun at me."

I smiled, and then I looked back at Ciro: "Put the gun away."

My voice is steady and my face is calm. Ciro hesitated for a moment, but he had always trusted me so much that he complied at once.

I took a deep look at this kid. Obviously, this kid didn't listen to Tiger, and Tiger told him to throw away the gun, but he didn't, and took the gun off the boat!

"Okay, now I have shown enough sincerity." I looked at Hong Da and said steadily, "Then what about your sincerity?"

Hong Da's voice was very deep, and his eyes calmed down. Then he slowly walked over from behind, stretched out his hand to hold down the arm of his bodyguard, and pressed down the arm holding the gun: "Okay, We can talk."

"The food was poisoned. I didn't do it. There are only two people on board, me and my bodyguard." I said coldly, "You rented this boat too!"

"It's not me." Hong Da immediately realized something, and we whispered at the same time: "That woman!"

We exchanged glances, and I settled down... I bet right! Hong Da believed me, and we ran towards the galley together.

The kitchen is at the stern, and there is still a smell of seafood in it at the moment. There is a trash can on the ground, and there are some cleaned shrimp and crab shells in it.

It was a cramped space with a short kitchen knife on the table. I didn't say anything, just picked up the kitchen knife and held it with my backhand.

"The bow!"

The stripper was on the boat all afternoon... and while we were chatting and blowing the sea breeze, she was already in her swimsuit and sunscreen! Then lie down and bask in the sun on the bow of the yacht!

Now when we rushed to the bow, Hong Da carefully walked behind his bodyguards...

"Nobody." I sighed.

The bow of the boat was empty, and a blanket was spread on the ground. The woman had been lying here basking in the sun in the afternoon, but now she was gone!

"She can't go far!" I said immediately.

Hong Da's eyes lit up, he understood what I said.

The seafood has just been bought, and the poisoning must have been done while cooking the seafood! And this time is not far from now!

No boats passing by, no motorboats...unless she swam back to shore!

This possibility is very high, after all, it is very close to the coast, and the weather is calm.

"Is there any diving equipment on board?" I immediately started looking. But the only crew member familiar with the yacht is dead, and I can only search from the lowest cabin.

Finally, I finally found an empty compressed oxygen cylinder in the cab! I recognized it at a glance, it was for diving.

Since there are empty oxygen cylinders, there will definitely be full ones!

She must have dived and escaped.

I sighed, it seems that there is no way to chase. If she was swimming, the sky is not dark yet, we only need to sail the boat and search carefully, there is a good chance of finding her on the sea.

But if it's diving... there's no way. In such a large sea area, none of us men have diving equipment, so it is impossible for all of us to jump into the water to find it.

Obviously, neither Hong Da nor I are the kind of indecisive people. Since we made it clear that we had no chance of catching up with that suspicious woman, we quickly sat down again.

I still pretended to be stupid, looked at Hong Da, and slowly said: "Brother, although I don't know who you are, I think this matter should be aimed at you, right?"

The muscles in the corners of Hong Da's eyes twitched, and he seemed a little startled. If the crew member hadn't been poisoned to death just now, I'm afraid it would be the two of us who died now!

To be honest, I was also a little scared...

I checked the kitchen again and I found a little trace. Obviously, the dead crew member was really unlucky. After cooking, he, like many chefs in this world, had to taste the taste first... As a result, he died just by tasting it!

Hong Da didn't speak, and he didn't refute the speculation that I decided this matter was aimed at him. The expression on his face was a bit gloomy, and I knew that his mood might be a little unstable at the moment.

"Dude, you should actually feel lucky." I smiled deliberately: "You think, if that stripper really came to kill you... last night."

Hong Da's expression became even uglier. The fat on his face shook violently... He swallowed hard!

The meaning in my words is very simple: if that woman is a killer, luckily I dragged Hong Da to the casino last night and didn't let him go back to his room! If he really took that woman back to the room to do that thing... I'm afraid he would already be a corpse by now!

Finally, after a long silence, Hong Da spoke with great difficulty. He looked into my eyes, his voice was hoarse, and then he managed to force a smile: "Brother, it seems that I have to thank you, you saved me once .”

"You're welcome." I knew it was time for me to show off, but instead I said with a cold face, "Dude, I'm not as open-minded as you, hell... I was almost killed with you just now! From this point of view, you are really a dangerous person."

I knew it would look suspicious if I continued to be intimate with him at this point! According to the psychology of a normal person, it is okay to talk and laugh with casual acquaintances who meet by chance, but being dragged down by the other party to the point of dying is a kind of fear that everyone will have! Then the first reaction should be to avoid and stay away from the other party!

So now the more indifferent I am to Hong Da, the more I pretend to keep a distance from him, the more he will trust me!

The few of us men were still in shock. After resting for a while, Hong Da was a little thirsty. When I turned around to get water, I pressed his hand. My eyes flashed, I looked at him, and smiled wryly: "I suddenly thought of a question... I'm afraid we all guessed wrong! We only suspect that the woman may have poisoned the food, but... but I forgot one thing..."

My eyes are on the tea kettle on the table!

water! It's water!

Fresh water on board is limited. When the yacht picked us up, a bucket of fresh water had just been stored on board. That woman, in fact, doesn't need to poison the food at all... she just needs to poison the water!

Because seafood is roughly washed with fresh water before cooking!

But the tea kettle on the table was filled before we got on the boat! Thank goodness we didn't drink much water all afternoon, if we finish drinking the water in the jug in the middle and go to refill it...

I'm afraid the whole boat is full of dead people now!

Hong Da is not stupid. He saw what I was looking at and understood what I meant. He was already sweating coldly on his forehead, took out a tissue to wipe it, and cursed in a low voice: "Bitch! If I see her, You must have peeled off her skin!"

I sighed, looked back at Xi Luo, and then sat back a little on purpose, keeping a little distance from Hong Da. I put on a look of embarrassment, and said, "Man, even though I don't like asking these questions, it wasn't my business at first... But the problem now is that I've been involved... Just now I'm just like you , and almost died here... so I have to ask you a question." I stared into Hong Da's eyes: "Who are you?"

Hong laughed out loud, and I could see that there was an element of camouflage in his smile, and then I heard him say to me, "You really want to know? I'm afraid my identity will be a problem."

I frowned and looked at him coldly on purpose: "It will never be more troublesome than death."

"Then what about you?" Hong Da's eyes fell on my hand accurately, and he said coldly: "Your fingers are very long, but the calluses are obvious, don't think I can't see it, even though you pretend to be a flower My son, you flirted with that stripping bitch, you gambled with me, your poker skills are good, and you even talked with me about wine tasting and women. But your hands can't be concealed... You are a very good hand Man! The calluses on your hands are from gun practice! Right?" He said slowly: "Besides, you were calm in the face of death just now, which means that killing people is not a very shocking thing to you! "

I laughed. Unexpectedly, this wretched fat man really has a meticulous mind that does not match his appearance.

"Yes, I do have my identity. But it doesn't have much to do with you." I said lightly, "I just met you by chance, and I don't want to cause trouble. But the problem now is... I almost died here. "

"It seems that we all have some secrets of our own." Hong laughed and looked at me: "Then what should we do with this matter in front of us? Do you need to call the police?"

The two of us looked at each other for a while, and laughed at the same time. It seems that the ridiculous word "alarm" really shouldn't come from people like us.

Obviously, we all agreed that the other party, like ourselves, is a group of people wandering in the underground world.

"Brother, you are really in some trouble." I said slowly: "For the sake of getting along well with you before, I will give you a suggestion. You'd better find more people to protect you as soon as possible, otherwise, After landing, you'd better leave here immediately... or... "

Hong Da didn't speak, but I continued to say calmly: "Maybe I can help you."
