under the vortex

Chapter 67

Jia Wenjun's parents are not from the local area, so they certainly don't know as much as those who live in the local area, so they continued to chat with Wu Peng to learn about the situation.

Wu Peng just heard from them that their daughter belongs to the property management company, and he also wanted to learn from them about the situation before departure and on board.The old man didn't contact him when he was on the boat, but he just sent him a message before departure, saying that he would go fishing with the owner of the community for two days, and come back at [-] pm on Sunday, and let him go home for dinner and cook fish for him.

He also sent a message to the old man at noon on Sunday, saying that he might work overtime at night and would be late, but the old man didn't reply, and he didn't care. He just thought it was because the old man was fishing too hard to care.

It wasn't until he returned to the community at seven or eight o'clock that he realized that the old man hadn't come back.

Jia Wenjun's parents actually contacted her the day before her daughter's departure. Knowing that she was busy with work on the ship, they didn't contact her. They thought that they would have a good video chat with her when she came home on Sunday night. Who knows if the video was sent in the past? The person picked up the phone and said that they were not within the service area. The two contacted the property of the community, only to find out that the boat that went out to sea has not returned yet.

The old couple couldn't sit still immediately, put everything down, took the nearest train and came over.

Seeing that Jia's mother was about to cry again, Wu Peng said comfortingly, "I asked the staff before, and the friend of the owner who came to report the case said that the ship was a luxury yacht imported from abroad. The whole ship was more than 20 meters long, and it should be relatively safe. Search The team was unable to go out to find people yesterday because of the weather, but I came here early today, and they said they had already set off. Let’s not think about the worst, maybe there is something that delayed the return journey.”

"Xiao Wu is right. Such a big boat should be safe." Papa Jia took a deep breath after speaking. Although he knew that he was deceiving himself, he still had to give himself some confidence, otherwise he was afraid that his wife would not be able to hold on. go down.

"Is this foreign ship safe? The search team has never seen this ship before, can they find their ship exactly? The person who sailed the ship does not know how skilled it is. No matter how good the ship is, it is useless." Although the husband said so Said, but Mother Jia was still very worried.

Wu Peng pushed the mirror frame: "According to the staff, the owner of the ship is Anna. When she bought the ship, she had already registered with the maritime department, applied for the name of the ship, and then ordered it from the shipyard. The Maritime Safety Administration has this ship. For all information, the name of the ship is the same as the license plate number of the car, which is unique. After the ship leaves the factory, the maritime department approves the purchase contract and other documents of the ship before issuing the ship ownership certificate. The classification society inspects the ship holding the ownership certificate. , issued inspection certificates and nationality certificates, and with these certificates, the ship can legally go to sea. Therefore, the search team must have recognized the ship. As for driving the ship, it is also required to take a driver's license just like driving a car. There should be no problem question."

Mother Jia was stunned for a while before she said, "When buying a car, you must first buy the car and then get the license plate. When buying a boat, you must first have the name of the boat before you buy the boat?"

"Correct."

Papa Jia saw that Wu Peng was young but knew a lot, and asked, "Xiao Wu, what do you do?"

"I'm a lawyer."

After knowing his occupation, Jia Wenjun's parents looked at him warmer again.After all, it's always good to have someone in these families who understands the law.

At this time on the boat, the sea water had receded in the dark warehouse, and the wind outside was much quieter. Jia Wenjun, who had been tired all night, just curled up on the carpet and took a nap, when he was awakened by the noise on the deck.

It was already dawn, and the boat was shaking with the waves.

After the past few days, Jia Wenjun is also used to this wobbly feeling now. She glanced at the drooping dog next to her. The carpet under her body was wet with water, and her pants were damp. The clothes and pants are made of waterproof fabrics, but it still feels uncomfortable to sit on them all the time.

The cold and damp made Jia Wenjun feel chilly all over. Fortunately, there was a dog beside her. The fluffy fur on the animal's body eased her coldness a little.

She was tired and sleepy and hungry, and the suitcases and fishing boxes were on deck, and she couldn't go up now.

Her stomach growled, and she could only force herself to squint again to reduce physical exertion and gather energy for going up at night.

The people on the deck stopped making noise. Jia Wenjun swallowed his saliva when he heard them talking about going fishing. When she sneaked up at night, she must catch some fish to eat. If she couldn’t cook it, she would eat sashimi.

The more she thought about it, the more difficult it became, she couldn't do it, she couldn't think about it anymore, bear it, bear it again, it will be fine in the evening.

I don't know how long it took, but when I opened my eyes again, there was still light coming through the crack.

Because she hadn't drank water for a long time, her lips were dry and peeled. She licked her lips and stood up slowly. Because she hadn't stood for a long time, she almost fell down.

She didn't know what was going on on the deck at this time, and was about to climb up slowly and remove the suitcase pressed against the hole, when she heard footsteps on the deck coming towards her.

They acquiesced that she was a murderer, and drew an area for her. No one would walk towards this if nothing happened. Could it be... the murderer?

But now it's daytime, isn't it too crazy to attack her at this time?
Jia Wenjun's scalp was numb, she was weak at this moment, if someone really came in, she would not have the strength to deal with him anymore.

She touched the fruit knife that Anna used to stab Lu Maowang before. She kept it by her side for self-defense at that time, and it is still in use now.

If the other party really came down, they could only die together.

The sound of footsteps stopped at the entrance of the cave. Jia Wenjun stared at the entrance of the cave that was pressed by the suitcase. The next second, the suitcase was moved away, and the strong light shone down. alert.

The hungry dog ​​barked towards the entrance of the cave, and when it saw the protruding human face, it stopped making a sound, and even wagged its tail automatically and consciously.

"Xiao Jia?" A voice came from the entrance of the cave.

This is the voice of Baima Mountain.

Thinking that he had saved himself before, Jia Wenjun hid the knife and walked out slowly.

Baimashan glanced around, quickly dropped a mineral water bottle, and said to Jia Wenjun in a low voice: "There are two grilled small fish and a little mineral water in it, you need to fill your stomach first. This is the bottle you drank before I found the water in your fishing box."

When counting things before, each person was given a bottle of mineral water, and this bottle was used to receive new water every day, one for each person, and there were not many, so Baimashan could only find Jia Wenjun's one secretly.

Jia Wenjun did put her water bottle in the fishing box before, and she also marked it, this bottle is indeed hers.

Looking at the half bottle of water in the bottle and the small dried fish soaked in the water, she was so hungry that she also hesitated whether the other party would add anything to the food, but thinking that he had saved her before, if Baimashan really wanted to harm her , At that time, it would have been fine if he hadn't helped her, there was no need to do anything extra.

Thinking this way, she didn't care whether the water soaked in fish was good or not. She drank the water in one gulp. When the last two sips were left, she hesitated for a few seconds, poured it into her hand, and gave it to the barking dog next to her. .

"Thank you, Brother Bai."

The icing on the cake is common, but giving charcoal in the snow is rare.Only Baima Mountain is willing to help her at this time.Thinking of how many times she doubted him before, she felt a little guilty.

"It's okay, I'll cover the suitcase for you later, don't let them find out."

Jia Wenjun suddenly became alert. In broad daylight, there were not many places to stay on the boat. If he came so brightly, he would definitely be seen.

She tensed up again and asked, "What about the others?"
