Three days later, early morning.
Shen Qiu was leaning against the prison wall, sleeping with his eyes closed.
Crunch~
The tightly closed cell door was opened, and dazzling light came in, reflecting on Shen Qiu's face. He subconsciously opened his eyes.
Then Zhang Qiu walked in.
"Get up, boy, you are acquitted."
Zhang Qiu shouted to Shen Qiu with a smile.
When Shen Qiu heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He had originally thought that at best he would have to spend a dozen days or a few months in prison, but he did not expect to be acquitted so soon. He then asked.
"Where are my team members?"
"Your team members were also acquitted. You're quite capable! You have some strong connections!"
Zhang Qiu also said with emotion.
When Shen Qiu heard this, a strange look appeared on his face. However, he did not say anything, but stood up and walked over.
…
At the gate of the Border Guard Bureau.
Shen Qiu came over alone carrying a backpack.
At this time, the guard in charge of guarding the gate opened the closed iron gate.
Just as Shen Qiu was about to walk out, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked the guard next to him.
"Sir, may I ask the officer surnamed Bai about..."
However, before Shen Qiu could finish his question, the guard waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him.
"What sir, get out of here!"
As expected, Shen Qiu was kicked out by the guards.
In the corner outside the gate, Bei Kailun and Zhao Wuchang were squatting on the ground with their bags on their backs, smoking.
When they saw Shen Qiu coming out, they immediately put out their cigarettes and went to greet him.
"team leader!"
"Are you all right?"
Shen Qiu asked calmly.
"It's okay, but why were we released all of a sudden? It was said to be very serious during the interrogation. I was prepared to be locked up for a few years."
Bei Kairen said puzzledly.
Zhao Wuchang looked at Shen Qiu and asked curiously.
"Yes, Captain, is this the person you are looking for?"
"Don't ask so many questions, as long as everyone is okay."
Shen Qiu didn't think about explaining too much.
"Okay, but what should we do next? Our team is ruined. So many people died at once, and we didn't make any money. Sigh."
Zhao Wuchang replied with deep emotion.
Shen Qiu did not reply to Zhao Wuchang, and he had no idea for a moment.
At this time, Bei Kailun lowered his voice and spoke to Shen Qiu and Zhao Wuchang.
"Captain, why don't we do something shady? I have a way!"
"Let's talk about it later."
Shen Qiu frowned slightly and replied.
Just then a police car drove up in front of the three people and stopped. Then the window rolled down and Xiong Ke stuck his head out and said unhappily.
"Boy, the bodies of your dead teammates have been found. We have notified their families to come and claim them. You can go over and complete the formalities."
"good."
When Shen Qiu and the other two heard Xiong Ke's words, their hearts sank.
Although they were engaged in extreme sports and had been mentally prepared for death, they were still human after all, and it would be a lie to say that they were not sad to see so many teammates die.
"Get in the car, I'll take you there!"
Xiong Ke just waved his hand.
Shen Qiu and the other two got into the car immediately.
Soon Xiong Ke drove towards the nearby town.
Not long after, Xiong Ke brought Shen Qiu and others to the morgue of the town's funeral home.
Shen Qiu and others stood at the door and looked inside, only to see corpses covered with white cloth in the morgue.
"Woo woo~"
Many relatives surrounded the bodies, sobbing softly, and sadness filled the air.
Most of the relatives who came to claim the bodies were elderly people with white hair, but there were also women holding children.
Shen Qiu looked at this scene and felt increasingly heavy-hearted.
At this time Xiong Ke said to Shen Qiu.
"Mr. Shen Qiu, although we will not hold you responsible, we are not obligated to provide free search and rescue services because you entered the country illegally. Therefore, you will have to pay for the relevant search and rescue costs and the cost of storing the bodies. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to take the bodies away, but you will also have to face fines and late payment fees. By the way, I want to tell you that several family members refused to come and claim the bodies. If you want to deal with them, you must inform the staff here."
"I see."
Shen Qiu said in a deep voice.
"Then I'm leaving."
After Xiong Ke finished his instructions, he turned and left.
Shen Qiu walked forward with Bei Kailun.
When the relatives of Hai Wei and others saw Shen Qiu and others coming over, they all made way with red eyes.
Shen Qiu and the other two looked at the corpses lying on the ground and bowed deeply with heavy hearts.
At this time, an old lady said to Shen Qiu very sadly.
"You are Mr. Shen Qiu, right?"
"Yes, you are?"
"I'm Haiwei's grandmother. I often heard Haiwei mention you before. She admired you very much."
"I'm sorry I couldn't keep her safe."
Shen Qiu was silent for a few seconds before replying.
Heiwei's grandmother shook her head and replied with sobs.
"It's not your fault. When she chose this path, we knew this day would come. But can I ask you for a favor?"
"You say."
"I want to take Hei Wei's body back home. I don't want her to be buried in this cold wilderness. But I have limited savings and cannot take her home. Can you help me?"
"good!"
Shen Qiu replied, suppressing his sadness.
"Thank you!"
Haiwei's grandmother cried and thanked her.
Shen Qiu suppressed his grief and walked to the team member Anlik's wife Laura, who was accompanied by a three-year-old boy.
"Feel sorry."
Shen Qiu apologized to Laura very apologetically.
"You don't have to apologize to me. The one who should apologize is Enric. If he hadn't been so selfish as to choose this path, we wouldn't be standing here today. He pursued his ideals but didn't think about us. He left like this. How are we going to live in the future?"
Laura cried.
When Shen Qiu heard this, his expression became even more silent. He didn't say anything, but walked towards the relatives of other team members and talked to them one by one.
More than an hour later.
After Shen Qiu finished talking to all the family members, he called Bei Kailun and Zhao Wuchang to the outside of the morgue.
Zhao Wuchang and Bei Kailun looked at Shen Qiu with heavy expressions.
Shen Qiu asked in a deep voice.
"How much money do you have left?"
"All my belongings add up to less than 3,000 Red Alliance Coins."
Zhao Wuchang replied with a helpless look on his face.
"2000 Blue Alliance Coins."
Bei Kailun replied with a gloomy face.
Shen Qiu's brows twisted into a knot when he heard what the two said. He only had 70,000 red coins, which was not enough to accommodate the dead team members.
It really is true that a penny can make a hero fall.
Just then, the sound of footsteps was heard. Shen Qiu turned his head and saw Bai Mucheng walking towards him.
Shen Qiu was also a little surprised that she would appear here.
Zhao Wuchang and Bei Kailun looked at Bai Mucheng warily. They were instinctively afraid of this woman.
"Is everything done? Can we go now?"
Bai Mucheng walked up to the three of them and spoke to Shen Qiu indifferently.
Zhao Wuchang and Bei Kailun also looked at Shen Qiu with some surprise.
Shen Qiu had a conflicted expression and spoke to Bai Mucheng through gritted teeth.
"Not yet. Can you lend me some money? I need to settle the families of my deceased teammates. As for the money, I will sell my equipment and pay you back later."
"How many."
Bai Mucheng asked directly.
"3 million red alliance coins."
Shen Qiu said nervously. In fact, he himself felt that it was too much. After all, they had just met not long ago, and the other person had saved him, but he asked to borrow so much money right away.
Bai Mucheng spoke directly without any nonsense.
"card number!"
Shen Qiu was slightly startled, then gave the card number to Bai Mucheng.
Bai Mucheng raised the bracelet and passed it directly to Shen Qiu, then said indifferently.
"Turn around, I'm going to drive to the parking lot first, I'll wait for you there."
"good!"
Shen Qiu nodded and replied.
Bai Mucheng then turned and left. Shen Qiu then walked towards the families of Hai Wei and others, distributed the money to them, and arranged for workers to bury those team members whose bodies were not claimed by anyone.
When everything was done, Shen Qiu and the other two walked towards the parking lot.
At this time, Zhao Wuchang asked with a smile.
"Captain, the reason we were able to be released was not because of that woman, right?"
Shen Qiu did not reply to Zhao Wuchang.
However, Bei Kairen's mouth corners slightly raised as he spoke.
"Looking at this situation, it's most likely her."
When Zhao Wuchang heard what Bei Kailun said, he said with a strange expression.
"Captain, you have to be careful. This woman is wearing a mask and dares not see anyone. She must be very ugly. She is helping you to get away with it and lending you money. She is probably plotting something bad against your handsome appearance."
"Zhao Wuchang, you shouldn't say that. The captain should have seen through it a long time ago. He is sacrificing himself for us."
Bei Kailun followed with a joke.
"Yes, I think so too."
Zhao Wuchang followed suit.
Shen Qiu suddenly stopped and transferred the last 200,000 Red Alliance Coins to Bei Kailun and Zhao Wuchang.
After Zhao Wuchang and Bei Kailun received the money, the smiles on their faces immediately faded.
"Captain, what do you mean?"
"Well, all good things must come to an end, and it's almost time for us to leave. I don't want to continue doing this. Too many people have died."
Shen Qiu said with a heavy heart.
After listening to this, Zhao Wuchang and Bei Kailun fell silent.
"I'm leaving, take care of yourselves."
Shen Qiu then left alone.
When he arrived at the parking lot, he saw a black jeep parked in front of him from a distance, with Bai Mucheng in the car.
Shen Qiu took a deep breath and walked towards Bai Mucheng.
