"Actually... I didn't spend any money on this trip." Chen Qian said sheepishly.
"Didn't you spend any money?" Huang Xiaoque thought Chen Qian was going to tell some shocking inside story, but he didn't expect this to be what he said.
Having said this, Chen Gan simply said clearly, "Actually, I didn't buy the ticket for this trip, but...it was given as a lottery!"
"Given it in a lottery?" Huang Xiaoque couldn't laugh or cry, "So you just took it as a favor."
Chen Gan hurriedly explained: "Mainly after seeing the ferry ticket, I thought this place was good, and it happened to be your birthday, so I invited you to come with me. Who would have thought that, just for the sake of a temporary advantage, I would encounter something like this? I always feel guilty about it, so I give you this lighter as an apology."
Huang Xiaoque is not a petty person. Anyway, what happened this time was indeed an accident. In fact, it cannot be blamed on Chen Qian. But since Chen Qian took the initiative to give something away, Huang Xiaoque was of course disrespectful and happily pocketed the lighter.
After the two smoked a cigarette, they still felt that they were still satisfied. However, there was a shortage of supplies on the island, so they smoked one less cigarette. The two of them thought for a while and decided that it would be better to keep the water flowing for a long time, so they both went back to the room to sleep.
After a night without dreams, Huang Xiaoque felt as if she had been reborn, and her whole body seemed to have endless strength. He knew that this was just his illusion. Thinking of yesterday's experience, he was undoubtedly lucky to be alive today.
Huang Xiaoque walked out of the room and breathed the fresh air outside the window, only to find that the sun appeared directly above. Unconsciously and unexpectedly, he slept until noon. Huang Xiaoque laughed dumbly, remembering that Kong Qian's room was not far away. He looked at the holiday house, hoping to see that familiar figure again.
However, Kong Qian did not appear. Huang Xiaoque wondered whether the other party was still sleeping, or had woken up and gone out alone. Because he was unsure, he kept standing there, hesitating whether to knock on the door. At this moment, Huang Xiaoque saw a familiar figure passing by the window, and then appeared outside the door. He saw that the sea breeze was blowing her soft hair, her slender and beautiful body slowly stretched out against the sun, and most of all, her look of longing, which made people feel a kind of suffocating beauty.
Huang Xiaoque mustered up her courage and walked towards Kong Qian.
"Ah!" A scream sounded on the island, attracting everyone's attention and disrupting Huang Xiaoque's plan.
"What happened!" Chen Qian rushed out of the room while putting on his clothes, while Huang Xiaoque was already looking in the direction of the sound. The middle-aged woman Huang Yimei was standing next to a palm tree, and the scream came from her mouth. At this time, she covered her mouth with her hands and stared behind the tree with an expression of extreme fear. Huang Xiaoque squinted his eyes, and he could faintly see that there seemed to be something hidden behind the tree.
Huang Xiaoque ran towards the tree. When he got closer, he finally saw clearly that he was a man sitting paralyzed on the ground with his back against a palm tree. As the distance got closer, Huang Xiaoque even smelled a strong smell of rust. The large dark brown marks on the body in front of him told him that this was the smell of blood!
"Someone was killed!" Huang Xiaoque realized the seriousness of the problem. At this time, he finally ran to Huang Yimei and saw the victim's face clearly. It was Zhou Zhimao!
Chen Qian and others also came after hearing the news, and they were all shocked by the sight in their eyes. A bloody wound was made on Zhou Zhimao's chest at the heart position with a sharp knife or similar weapon. His clothes were stained red with blood. His face was stiff and he still retained the expression of fear and shock he had before his death.
For a time, the shadow of fear filled everyone's hearts. Huang Xiaoque looked at Kong Qian, who had arrived late. When the other party saw Zhou Zhimao's body, there was a hint of panic and confusion on his face. He knew that fear could not be allowed to spread; someone had to step up and do something.
At Huang Xiaoque's suggestion, everyone buried Zhou Zhimao's body near the palm forest, and then all gathered in his guest room. Although the guest room was crowded with people, it was unusually quiet. Everyone had not recovered from the previous panic. Huang Xiaoque cleared her throat with a dry cough and said to everyone: "Such a thing suddenly happened on the island. I don't know what you think."
Huang Xiaoque glanced at everyone and found that several people's eyes flickered. They clearly had some guesses in their minds but did not dare to say it.
Fei Yi hesitated for a moment, then spoke first: "I always feel that the murderer is probably among us!"
Huang Xiaoque nodded and asked, "What's the reason?"
Since Fei Yi started talking, he no longer had any worries and continued: "Zhou Zhimao's expression was very surprised when he died, and his skills were very good. It was difficult for ordinary people to kill him. Therefore, I think he was recognized by someone who knew him." The people died in a sneak attack!"
As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone took a step back, fearing that the murderer was next to them. Chen Qian was originally sitting in the corner with Huang Xiaoque. Now he had no way to retreat, so he couldn't help but move behind Huang Xiaoque. Huang Xiaoque lowered her head, not knowing whether she was listening or thinking about something.
"You can judge so many things just from the expression?" Wang Long raised his own doubts, "My master has practiced kung fu, so he can only die from a sneak attack, but anyone is surprised when he is attacked by a sneak attack. Show your expression!"
"Mr. Fei's inference is very reasonable." Xiao Lili sneered from the side: "Are you trying to hide something by saying these words now?"
No matter how stupid Wang Long was, he still understood the meaning of Xiao Lili's words, and his expression suddenly changed. He took a step forward and yelled at Xiao Lili: "What do you mean by this! Do you want to say that I am a murderer?"
Pang Cheng quickly stopped in front of Xiao Lili and said not to be outdone: "On this desert island, who else is there except us? And our group of people didn't know each other at first. Only you and Zhou Zhimao had a conflict, so you are the most suspicious. Who is this person if it’s not you?”
"So..." Fei Yi stared at Wang Long and said slowly: "Wang Long is the murderer!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Lung. Wang Lung couldn't argue and simply yelled at everyone: "Okay! Since you doubt me, come on! Let me see what you can do to me?"
With Zhou Zhimao's death, Wang Lung had no nemesis. He was confident that no one present could be his opponent, so he felt confident. Fei Yi said quietly: "You are just one person, and all of us put together, can't we deal with you?"
Wang Long sneered: "When I was out there, I was beaten by ten. Why don't I live a good life until now? You, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled plus women, do you want to deal with me?" "
Wang Long raised his fists as he spoke, and his eyes roamed over everyone's faces, seemingly looking for the first target to attack. Not to be outdone, several men quietly stood together and tried to unite against Wang Lung. The atmosphere in the venue was tense to the extreme.
At this moment, Huang Xiaoque slowly raised his head and shouted: "Stop it!"
