Arriving at the port ahead of schedule, Jin Zhou found an inconspicuous spot in the open-air parking lot.

A medium-sized luxury cruise ship was docked at the pier not far away, and the crew and waiters were boarding the ship one after another.

In a blink of an eye, the setting sun sinks below the sea level, and the night covers the entire sky. The piers and cruise ships are lit up with bright lights, and the quiet crescent moon in the sky decorates the night scene by the seaside.

Not long after, luxury cars began to arrive one after another. One by one, well-dressed guests got off the luxury cars, stepped on the pre-paved red carpet, and walked towards the steps leading to the cruise ship.

Jin Zhou observed for a while. The security check of the cruise ship is not strict. One person checks the invitation card, and the other uses the security detector to search the body. As long as there are no flammable and explosive items, the guests will not be questioned too much.

As the sailing time approached, the luxury cars coming to the pier gradually became blocked.Many guests didn't want to wait more than ten minutes for a distance of 200 meters, so they got out of the car and walked towards the cruise ship.

Jin Zhou saw the right time to blend into the passenger flow, and the distance suddenly narrowed, causing the woman in evening gown beside him to subconsciously cast her eyes on him. He nodded slightly and said calmly, "Good evening."

The woman nodded, and replied courteously: "Good evening."

Withdrawing his gaze from the side, Jin Zhou tucked his waist and abdomen and stared straight ahead. He didn't show the usual ruffian in his whole body. With his tall and straight figure and decent dress, he looked like a well-educated kid from a rich family.

"Are you here alone?" The woman looked at Jin Zhou's front and back, and it was obvious that they were not his companions.

"No." Jin Zhou shook his head, and glanced in front of his eyes, "My companion is in front."

After finishing speaking, Jin Zhou quickened his pace, passed four or five guests, and walked to the front of the queue.

Another guest next to him subconsciously looked at Jin Zhou, and with the experience just now, Jin Zhou didn't want to talk to anyone anymore, so he raised his hand and pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, avoiding the person next to him. line of sight.

The security check process went very smoothly. Jin Zhou boarded the ship with a group of guests without attracting anyone's attention.

He secretly observed the surroundings. Although he couldn't find Yang Shiyu, he found that all the guests who came to the cruise ship for the New Year's Eve this time had a lot of background.

For example, the person walking in front of him on the right is the secretary of the district leader of their old block. Jin Zhou has also seen this person come to participate in community activities.Another example is that the person walking behind him on the left is a well-known catering king in the city, and there is a restaurant under his name near Jin Zhou's car repair shop.

Since there was still some time before the event began, the guests all went to their respective rooms to rest after boarding the ship.

Following the instructions on the invitation card, Jin Zhou came to a single room in the guest room area.The window of the room faces the pedestrian street inside the cruise ship. Although you can't see the beautiful night view of the sea, you can just observe the internal structure of the cruise ship.

At one end of the pedestrian street is a water park. Several young people who are not afraid of the cold are playing in the water. On the opposite end is an outdoor theater. At this time, many staff are busy preparing for tonight's New Year's Eve performance .

There are suspended VIP boxes above the theater, and the boxes continue to go up to the guest room area with the best view on the cruise ship. Just by looking at the 180-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, you can feel the gap between the rooms on the lower floor and them.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the radio in the ship sounded, and Jin Zhou felt a slight sense of acceleration under his feet, indicating that the cruise ship was gradually leaving the pier.

Only then did Jin Zhou dare to take out his mobile phone to contact Yang Shiyu, because no matter what happened at this time, Yang Shiyu couldn't drive him off the cruise ship.

The call notification sounded three times, and was hung up without any surprise.

Jin Zhou leaned on the window frame of the room and sent Yang Shiyu a message.

【Jin Zhou: I'm on the boat】

Within ten seconds, a familiar figure appeared behind a floor-to-ceiling window in the guest room area on the top floor above the theater.

【Jin Zhou: Wow, tuxedo】

Although Yang Shiyu was located overlooking all the entertainment facilities inside the cruise ship, Jin Zhou was hidden behind the small guest room windows, so it was no wonder that Yang Shiyu couldn't see him.

The person behind the floor-to-ceiling windows frowned, and their fingers jumped rapidly on the screen.

【Yang Shiyu: Where are you】

【Jin Zhou: Direction at eight o'clock】

Yang Shiyu's gaze quickly turned to Jin Zhou's direction, but maybe there were too many identical windows, so he couldn't see Jin Zhou immediately.

Jin Zhou thought for a while, pushed open the window, closed it again, and pushed it open again. Yang Shiyu immediately noticed him, squinted his eyes for a while, and then lowered his head to send a message.

[Yang Shiyu: Give me the room number]

After the show in the outdoor theater started, all the guests left the room and went downstairs.

Some dine in restaurants, some drink in bars, no matter which area they are in, they can see the New Year's Eve show being staged in the theater.

Wang Hetai sat in the first row with many luxuriously dressed guests, chatting and applauding from time to time, creating a happy scene.

And Yang Shiyu was sitting behind Wang Hetai, and Wang Hetai would occasionally turn his head to chat with Yang Shiyu, with a leisurely look that did not show that he had just escaped from the police.

The time soon approached eleven o'clock, and the performance on the stage gradually reached its climax.

Yang Shiyu leaned over to say hello to Wang Hetai, then left his seat and disappeared at the entrance of the theater.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on Jin Zhou's door.He came to the door and opened the door, only to see Yang Shiyu looked around, paying attention to the eyes of others, and entered his room.

"You didn't show any flaws, did you?"

"Why are you here?"

The two asked questions at the same time, and before Jin Zhou could answer, Yang Shiyu seemed to suddenly realize that he had asked a meaningless question, sighed, and said helplessly: "You will never learn well."

"I'm worried about you." The show started for more than two hours, Jin Zhou didn't watch it at all, and his eyes stayed on Wang Hetai and Yang Shiyu the whole time, fearing that something might happen, "Wang Hetai didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"No." Yang Shiyu said, "You stay here obediently, we will leave together tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Yang Shiyu was about to leave. He had been in Jin Zhou's room for less than a minute, as if he had come to appease the dog, and after he was appeased, he went back to his own business.

"Yang Shiyu." Jin Zhou grabbed Yang Shiyu's wrist, frowned at him and asked, "Wang Hetai really just invited you to celebrate the new year?"

Yang Shiyu didn't answer immediately, but pursed his lips imperceptibly, with some hesitation in his eyes.

Jin Zhou had already figured out Yang Shiyu's temperament, and immediately saw that he was hiding something from him.He clasped Yang Shiyu's wrist tightly, and said solemnly, "If you don't tell me, I'll go down and stare at Wang Hetai right now."

"No need." Yang Shiyu exhaled helplessly, and withdrew his wrist from Jin Zhou's hand, "It's not as dangerous as you think, I'll just throw him a bait today."

"What bait are you throwing?" Jin Zhou asked.

"After the New Year's Eve is over, Wang Hetai will discuss with me about Zhao Yan. Now Zhao Yan will be sentenced to life with a high probability, and he will be released from prison after more than ten years, so Zhao Yan has no intention of speaking."

"Isn't that beneficial to Wang Hetai?" Jin Zhou asked, "Why does he still want to discuss with you?"

"Because he is not sure whether Zhao Yan will speak up." Yang Shiyu said, "I will tell him the current progress is that Zhao Yan and the director of the TV station both plan to speak up, which is very unfavorable to him. According to his behavior style, Someone should be found to kill the mouths of these two people, so maybe the police can find a breakthrough."

"Fishing law enforcement?" Jin Zhou frowned and pondered, "What if Zhao Yan and the director are really dead?"

"I can only take a gamble." Yang Shiyu said, "Wang Hetai won't handle everything personally. Now that he doesn't have Wei Jie and Zhao Yan by his side, it will be very difficult to kill someone, so it's extremely difficult." There may be flaws."

The two loyal dogs around Wang and Tai have already been arrested. If he finds someone who is not so reliable to fight, it will just give the police a chance to catch him.

"So you just chatted with Wang Hetai tonight?" Jin Zhou asked.

"Yes." Yang Shiyu said, "The director had planned to speak up, and Wang Hetai probably asked me to find a way to shut the director up."

"Instructed you to kill people?" Jin Zhou was stunned, "It's not possible."

"I won't be allowed to do it, but I may arrange his killer through my relationship." Yang Shiyu said.

"In this way you can get the evidence that he ordered the murder." Jin Zhou touched his chin, "This plan is not bad."

Always felt a little too smooth.

"Don't worry about me." Yang Shiyu rubbed Jin Zhou's head, "For now, Wang Hetai doesn't completely doubt me. He should also see if I will help him later. That's the key."

Jin Zhou nodded, relieved for the time being, and asked, "When will you talk to Wang Hetai about this?"

"After midnight." Yang Shiyu raised his wrist to look at the time, "I came out to go to the bathroom, it's been a while, it's time to go back."

As soon as Yang Shiyu finished speaking, Jin Zhou caught a glimpse of Wang Hetai in the theater and turned his head to look at the seat behind him, probably wondering why Yang Shiyu hadn't gone back yet.

"You pay attention to safety." Jin Zhou said, "After you talk to Wang Hetai, report to me that you are safe."

"Yeah." Yang Shiyu turned to leave, but at this moment, he suddenly fell back and hugged Jin Zhou's waist, and kissed the corner of his lips, "Wait for me obediently, don't wander around."

Soon there was only Jin Zhou left in the room.

Acrobatics were performed in the theater below, pushing the atmosphere to a new climax.

For some reason, as soon as Yang Shiyu left, Jin Zhou's heart became messy again, like an insecure dog, no matter how the owner comforted him, as long as the owner left his side, he would become restless.

Or maybe because of being in an unfamiliar environment, Jin Zhou always had an unspeakable bad feeling.

He comforted himself that as long as he waited a while, this matter would pass soon, but after a while, Wang Hetai stood up suddenly, called Yang Shiyu to leave the theater.

On the stage, the magic of changing people to life was performed, and it was the wonderful moment when the sword was inserted into the box.

Jin Zhou suddenly felt something was wrong. It was still ten minutes before zero o'clock. Why did the two leave the theater at this time?
