Zou Ruoqi really didn't sleep all night, and didn't want to stay with other girls safely. She kept her eyes open all night and followed Xie Lanshan's instructions to accompany Lu Weiwei's bed. Sure enough, as Xie Lanshan said, Lu Weiwei vomited several times at night, but thanks to Zou Ruoqi's timely cleaning of the vomit in her throat, she escaped without being suffocated by the filth.

The sky was cloudy, but the night had actually passed. Zou Ruoqi lay on the head of the bed and did not close her eyes all night. She was so tired that her back was sore, and she was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Zou Ruoqi didn't dare to be careless, got up cautiously, put his face on the door and asked, "Who?"

"It's me, Xiao Gu."

When I opened the door, I saw Teacher Xiao Gu and Yu Yangzi standing outside the door.

There are two cabins. Yu Yangzi originally shared a room with her sister Yu Qin, but after the chaos of last night, she didn't have the courage to be alone in a room with her sister, and offered to share a room with Xiao Gu, so she would spend the night.

Xiao Gu came to ask Zou Ruoqi to eat something, but Zou Ruoqi refused. Her eyes were dazed, trying to keep her eyes open, and she held on hard: "I promised to stay by Weiwei's side this night."

"Who did you promise? Besides, it's already dawn now." Teacher Xiao Gu patted Zou Ruoqi on the shoulder and persuaded her gently, "Go out to eat with your classmates, and I'll watch for you. on."

After all, he couldn't stand it anymore, Zou Ruoqi thought about it, and then stood up. When she walked to the door, she turned her head back as if she had remembered something, the girl stared at Xiao Gu with a lively and brilliant light in her eyes: "Mr. Xiao, without that Officer Xie, Weiwei is dead now. ' she pleaded earnestly. 'Let's let him go, he's a cop for sure!'

Teacher Xiao Gu nodded with a blank face, thinking for a while before a little smile appeared.

Sitting dry for one night, his legs were a little numb. At first, he couldn't walk easily, and he had to be supported by someone. Zou Ruoqi asked Yu Yangzi, who was next to him: "How did you sleep last night? Did anything else happen?"

"No, I was tired all day, and fell asleep." Maybe at a young age, Yu Yoko was the most heartless among the group of girls. When she was afraid, it seemed like the sky was falling apart, and she went back to the room to sleep first. She walked forward slowly, suddenly as if remembering something, her face was solemn, "There is something very strange, didn't I share a room with Teacher Xiao Gu yesterday, I found a capsule dropped under her bed …”

"Is it necessary to take medicine for headaches and fever?" Zou Ruoqi didn't care, "What's so strange?"

"I didn't make it clear. It's not a capsule. It's half a capsule. It's blue. It's a bit like the cephalosporins we usually eat. She should have unscrewed the capsule and spilled some powder inside." Zou Ruoqi was not told. He picked up the half capsule and hid it, Yu Yangzi shook his head, "I can't tell, maybe I'm too worried, Uncle Chang died, and Wei Wei is like this again, I'm really scared."

Hypoglycemia coma, as long as the sugar water is injected, but the discomfort caused by high blood sugar is not so easy to deal with. After drinking a lot of salty tea, the symptoms of acidosis were relieved, but Lu Weiwei's disturbance of consciousness still existed. She lay limp on the bed, drowsy and lethargic, and her life was in danger at any time.

Just as Zou Ruoqi followed Yu Yangzi out of the house, Lu Weiwei felt nauseous again. Teacher Xiao Gu helped the girl to sit up from the bed, and took her vomit with a hand padded with a tissue.

The filth on the lips was full of filth, and it gave off an unpleasant smell. Lu Weiwei opened her eyes and saw Xiao Gu's face hazy, knowing that she had survived, tears flowed down the ground. She held Xiao Gu's hand tightly and said repeatedly, I regret it.

People who are about to die are also good at their words, and they try to escape before the gate of hell. This girl is eager to repent, eager to confess, and she doesn't care who the object is.

"I regret it." Lu Weiwei lay down and said with tears, "I shouldn't be so selfish that day... I have a dance competition the next day, and I have been preparing for that competition for a year... Yu Qin has good grades, but she is the only one who dances. her hobby, Peng Yixuan's family has money, dancing is just her pastime, but I'm different, I'm really afraid of being disqualified from the competition..."

As if being choked by that terrifying picture, Lu Weiwei suddenly coughed violently.

Xiao Gu sat behind the back light, her eyes were dark and gloomy, she let the girl cough in pain, and waited for her to continue speaking with cold eyes.

"I don't know why, but Peng Yixuan just doesn't like Yao Dai. She knew that Yao Dai's father worked at Xinghui, so he often bullied her, took off her clothes and slapped her in the face, and threatened her not to let her speak out. That day Peng Yixuan went to Yao Dai splashed gasoline on her body and asked Qiu Fei to set it on fire to scare her. I tried to persuade them at first, but I didn't expect the fire to really start to burn. Almost instantly Yao Dai became a hot person... She has been Crying and screaming all the time, we were all terrified..."

"You guys are so cruel!" The girl's few words created a tragic picture. Xiao Gu was trembling all over, and his heart was like being cut open by life.

"Later Yao Dai jumped out of the swimming pool by herself. When we brought her up, she was out of breath. Peng Yixuan asked us what to do. I thought about my dance competition and said, 'Anyway, people are dead, so late No one will see it, why don't you just bury it quietly'..."

Xiao Gu's heart ached again, and the pain made her voice tremble, as if a wound that had healed easily was bursting again: "Where did you bury that girl's body?"

"In order to prepare for the dance competition the next day, I was the first to leave. When I left, Yu Qin, Qiu Fei, and Peng Yixuan were all still there. I don't know where they buried Yao Dai..."

Xiao Gu was still trembling, she closed her eyes in pain, and the tears of anger kept flowing in her eyes for a long time, like the blood oozing out of Gulu, which burned her skin to pieces.

"But... I didn't expect that after the game, I was diagnosed with diabetes, maybe it was just retribution... After that, we agreed that no one would mention this matter again, I was busy with treatment, so I just talked to them. are estranged..."

After a short awake moment, Lu Weiwei turned pale again and fell into a drowsy sleep. Until the moment before she fell asleep, she still thought about the accusation Peng Yixuan had made against herself. In the past, because of the current situation, she was the hypocrite who first rescued and pushed people off the ship at a critical juncture. She was despicable and disgusting.

When it was almost lunchtime, Xiao Gu remembered Xie Lanshan who was still locked in the storage room. She prepared a lunch and sent it to the bottom cabin with a plate.

There are not many ingredients left. Lunch is pasta with crispy sausage and black olives. After two days of floating on the sea, everyone should run out of food.

It was still afternoon, but the sky was pitch black, and the few remaining rays of light came out through the clouds, like rust stains. The air was very dull. Looking out from the narrow window, seagulls flew close to the water, making a shrill cry, and the whole world presented a storm of darkness and chaos.

Xiao Gu knocked on the narrow window on the door and drew Xie Lanshan's attention. She said, "Officer Xie, I'll bring you something to eat."

The door was locked from the outside, and the key was in Peng Yixuan's hand. Xiao Gu couldn't bring his lunch into the door. The small round window on the door was not enough for people to pass through. To use it to deliver food, someone had to smash the window glass.

Xie Lanshan was really hungry for a day and a half, but he was not overwhelmed by hunger at all. There was a murderer on this ship, and he was worried at the moment, thinking about the safety of the girls on this ship. Looking up at Xiao Gu outside the door, Xie Lanshan smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao now believes that I am a policeman?"

Xiao Gu nodded: "Zou Ruoqi trusts you very much. She said that without you, Lu Weiwei might have died."

"Thank you for your trust." Xie Lanshan breathed a sigh of relief, now that he was locked up, the top priority was to get out quickly. He raised his handcuffed hands and shouted at Xiao Gu: "Do you have the key to unlock these handcuffs?"

Xie Lanshan remembered that the key finally fell into Xiao Gu's hand, but Xiao Gu shook his head and said, "The key is not with me. In fact, Yixuan has already threw the key into the sea. There is no way. That child is too willful."

The hope of getting out of trouble became slim, Xie Lanshan thought about it and said, "Can I trouble you to go to Changming's toolbox to check to see if there is anything like iron wire."

Xie Lanshan intends to pry open the handcuffs. However, Xiao Gu went out to look around, but came back empty-handed. She said that there was no iron wire, nothing like it, nothing.

While the two were talking, there was another sound of singing from a distance. Xie Lanshan finally heard it clearly this time. It was a song of a childish voice. The singing was so heavenly, but it was horrifying to hear it suddenly. It burned like fire, mixed with resentment and hatred that burned everything.

"Who hides sin in the sun / Who has blood on his hands in the dark / Behold / The man facing you behind has raised a sharp knife / You are slaughtered like an ignorant bird..."

"Go look at those girls!" Intuition told him that another accident was about to happen. Xie Lanshan can only hope that the only adult on board will take care of the minors.

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Gu was stunned for a moment, then turned and ran to the living room where the girls gathered.
