    There is a saying, "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."  Just when we thought that clues would surface soon, reality gave us a merciless blow; the reward was increased to 50,000, but there was still no news.

    Ye Qian and I stood on the river bank holding a stack of bounty notices that had not yet been handed out.

    "Is there an error in the inference?" Ye Qian wiped the sweat from her forehead.

    "Probably not. There is a high possibility that the suspect is a 'water job'."

    ¡°But the problem is that it¡¯s been three days, and the number of ships coming and going has almost reached its peak. Why is there still no news at all?¡±

    "I'm confused too. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case."

    "Hum hum¡­¡­"

    I was used to the sound of the whistle on the river bank in the past two days, and the sudden pig called was particularly different.

    Out of curiosity, Ye Qian and I turned around and looked around. In our field of vision, five or six strong men were happily carrying whole pigs and whole sheep to a cargo ship.

    "What are you doing?" I raised my police ID card and stopped a middle-aged man carrying a rooster.

    The man glanced at him and said, "Oh, hello, police officer."

    "Hello, what are you" I put away my ID and continued the topic.

    "Oh, prepare for a long job. According to our boatman's rules, buy some pigs, sheep and poultry to sacrifice to the river god."

    "Long life?"

    "Long work means long-distance transportation. A ship like ours takes more than a month to go back and forth."

    Out of curiosity, I asked another question about "sacrifice to the river god": "Is it possible to kill the pigs, sheep and poultry and throw them into the river?"

    "Hey, that was all done by the older generation in the early days. At that time, the ships were all made of wood and couldn't help but collide with each other, so some pigs and sheep had to be killed to worship them. Now the ships are very strong, let's say this.  Worshiping is actually just a superficial procedure."

    "Oh? Superficial procedure?" Seeing the soot on the other person's teeth, I politely let him pass a cigarette.

    The man was not polite. He lit it and held it in his mouth: "Just for peace of mind. The pigs, sheep and poultry were slaughtered before sailing, and the blood was sprinkled into the river. It was regarded as a sacrifice."

    ¡°What about the meat?¡±

    "Eat it yourself! It's not enough to save food for this round trip."

    ¡°It¡¯s been so long, aren¡¯t you afraid of it getting damaged?¡±

    ¡°Every cargo ship is equipped with a refrigerated room, how could it be broken?¡±

    ¡°Cold room?¡±

    "That's right, don't talk about pigs and sheep, pretending to be three or four people is not a problem."

    "real?"

    ¡°You¡¯re such a funny police officer, why do you get so excited when it comes to pretending?¡±

    ¡°Brother, can you take me on board to see the cold room?¡±

    "Okay!"

    The man led the way. Ye Qian and I boarded the deck and then went down to the cabin.  After walking for a while, the three of us stood in front of a silver metal door equipped with a "wheel handle lock".

    "This is it, do you want to open it?"

    "Um!"

    The man turned the "wheel lock" hard and heard a "click" sound. The lock tongue left the lock. When the door of the refrigerator room was opened, a biting cold current hit his body.

    "The normal temperature is around minus 10 degrees Celsius. It is available on every ship we operate. We rely on it for months of meat meals!" The man pointed to a cold storage room with more than 20 square meters.  quipped.

    "This shape looks a bit like a cold storage."

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a smaller version of the cold storage.¡±

    I took out my phone and took a photo of the room: "Okay, brother, close the door."

    "Do you want to see anything else?"

    "No, this will delay your sailing."

    "Hey, it's still early, the pigs and sheep haven't been slaughtered yet."

    "By the way, brother, I would like to ask, which ships will be equipped with this kind of cold room?"

    "We boat people basically live on boats, either shipping or disembarking for purchase. We rarely ask about other things. Basically, there are long-distance cargo ships like ours. As for whether other ships have them, I really don't know.  I don¡¯t know.¡±

    "Oh, that's okay, thank you, brother."

    "By the way, you are police officers and state officials. You can ask the Maritime Safety Administration. They are in charge of ships. They must know."

    "That's right!" Ye Qian and I looked at each other.

    "Thank you brother, I wish you a safe journey!The ship can be scrapped normally.  "

    "What do you mean, we have a contract, it is clearly signed in black and white, who is talking about it?"

    ¡°Well, well, in front of so many people, I won¡¯t argue with you. I¡¯m not looking for you today, it¡¯s these police officers who are looking for you!¡±

    Because we were all wearing casual clothes, the boat owners did not know our identities before Section Chief Yu introduced us. After his introduction, the boat owners immediately felt that something was not going well.

    "Chief Yu, shall we start?"

    "Okay, Director Leng, please do as you please."

    "Hello everyone, we are from the Yunxi City Public Security Bureau, and this is my police officer ID." Brother Ming revealed his identity and went straight to the topic, "I have two things to trouble you this time: First,  If the case requires it, we need to take your blood samples; secondly, we just want to ask this comrade named Luo Jun to take a step to speak."

    Because the investigation of the case was imminent, Brother Ming had a tough attitude. Coupled with the strong backing of Section Chief Yu, the blood collection went smoothly.

    Immediately afterwards, Luo Jun was brought into the office.

    ¡°Officer, what do you want from me?¡±

    "Who did you transfer your ship to?"

    "I have a friend in society named Jiang Chuan."

    "Where is he now?"

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, I haven¡¯t contacted him for more than a year.¡±

    "Does Jiangchuan have any relatives?"

    "No, he is an orphan and grew up in an orphanage."

    "He usually lives alone?"

    "No, he still supports three elderly people at home, two grandmothers and a grandfather."

    "Seriously?" Maybe it was because the happiness came too suddenly, I exclaimed.

    "What's the point of lying? I've been to his home. The three old people are all bedridden all year round. There are three nursing beds in his home. The old people eat, drink and relieve themselves on the bed."

    My father also slept on what Luo Jun calls a "recuperation bed" for a while. There is a toilet underneath this bed, which solves a big problem for old people who are bedridden all year round. But the only drawback is that it takes a long time to clean up the feces.  Very troublesome.

    "Can you take us to Jiang Chuan's residence?" Brother Ming made a request.

    "Oh, he no longer lives in the house. In the past two years, he has been living on the cargo ship I transferred to him."

    "Then take us to the boat to have a look."

    "No, police officers, please spare me. I'm really afraid of seeing him now. The ship is parked in the port. The one with 'Jiangchuan' spray-painted on the hull is the one."

    With clear guidance, we quickly found the large, rusty cargo ship.

    With the help of the Maritime Safety Administration staff, we successfully boarded the ship and opened the hatch. No one was inside. Lao Xian walked into the kitchen and took 5 sets of samples from the dishes and the refrigerator room.

    After careful comparison, the DNA of the suspect and two of the deceased were detected in the samples.

    With this irrefutable evidence, the case was finally successfully solved, and the suspect Jiang Chuan was successfully captured 72 hours later.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
