after waking up.

Chapter 9 is not what I thought

Although she knew that there must be a series of investigation procedures waiting for the Princess Neshuriel after it docked, Mulan got up immediately and started packing, stacking and tidying up her clothes and toiletries, and then putting them all in her suitcase. in the middle, sorting out the rest of the odds and ends, and then quickly left the room with his suitcase.

In the aisle of the cabin, there are many people who have similar actions to Mulan. In twos and threes, some people carry luggage out of the room, ready to disembark and board the port.

"Mr. Jonest, are you disembarking today?"

Someone warmly greeted Mulan, who had just left the room. He looked back and found that he was only slightly familiar. He should be one of the young people who went to the cab together that day, but he didn't know the other person's name.

"Well, are you too?"

When Mulan greeted the other party, the person who came had already arrived.

"I won't disembark until the next port, but I plan to go to Valentine. After all, this is a big city. By the way, let me help you with your luggage. After all, sir, you still have a shoulder injury."

"No, I'm pretty much better now, and I don't need left hand luggage, just walk together."

Mulan politely rejected the other party's kindness. In fact, the injury on his left hand was not completely recovered, but the actual strength of his left hand was better than that of his right hand.

For Mulan's invitation, the young man is very happy. As a retired officer, Mr. Jonest has outstanding temperament and extraordinary courage, and it is easy to attract the admiration of others, especially those who acted together that night, and the other party Also relatively approachable.

The two chatted and came to the upper and lower passenger decks. The springboard stairs had already been erected. Many passengers and crew members, whether they arrived at their destination or were still on their way, planned to disembark and go to Valentine, so it was already here. packed with people.

"what happened?"

Mulan was stunned for a moment after arriving here, and then immediately trotted forward with her luggage.

"Mr. Jonester? Wait for me!"

Shouldn't the ship be blocked?Shouldn't everyone be temporarily unable to disembark?Why at this moment in Mulan's eyes, there are people disembarking on the two springboard stairs.

"Give it up, let it go!" "Sorry to let it go!"

Mulan kept repeating his apology. He held the suitcase with his right hand, and grabbed his hat with his left hand. He found all kinds of gaps and walked forward. comparatively forward.

One of the crew was diligently carrying two suitcases for a gentleman while some of the crew were in charge of disembarking passengers.

"Sir Charles, please."

The gentleman nodded and disembarked with his walking stick. The crew at the back followed with suitcases, and many other passengers crowded and waited on the side. When some privileged people went down first, the others seemed to be booming. Like a can of sardines squeezed towards the gangway ladder.

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Mulan carried the suitcase across the crowd, and regardless of the various glances and scoldings of the surrounding passengers, he forcibly came to the front position, while the young man before was unable to keep up, and was already crowded to the north. .

"you are?"

Many of the crew didn't know Mulan, but the latter didn't want to introduce himself and asked directly.

"Why did the passengers disembark immediately? What about the Valentine police? What about the case on the ship? What if the murderer disembarked?"

Some of the people who were disembarking looked back at the commotion on the side of the ship and continued on without paying attention, while the crew above felt that Mulan was overly nervous.

"Murderer? Sir, the murderer has been caught. We have sent someone to notify the Valentine police, and the murderer will be handed over to them soon."

Just as they were talking, the crew saw another distinguished passenger coming, and immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Mrs. Matthews, this way please! The guests on the side, show a gentleman's demeanor, please make way."

Mulan's face was not very good-looking. Looking at the people under the boat who had already disembarked first, she did not make any drastic actions to block the disembarkation port. Instead, she followed the crowd to make way for the distinguished Mrs. Matthews. .

Whether it is the workplace competition in the 21st century or the brutal war that has just ended, Mu Lan is not an idealist, and he quickly understands the current situation.

Recognize reality and recognize yourself.

"Ha ha."

Mulan laughed mockingly, too lazy to care anymore, but he couldn't help but swept his eyes to those who disembarked first. The fog in the port made the lower part a little hazy, and the lights of the carriage stopped and left.

Now that he has been squeezed to the front position, Mulan has no intention of going back and re-queuing. Soon, he will disembark in the current order.

With both feet on the ground of Port Valentin, the coldness in the mist invaded, and it also brought a faint sense of familiarity to Mulan. Looking back at the Princess Nesselir, the ant-like passengers were still crowding out. , he had never found that the passengers on this ship were so dense, obviously it felt extraordinarily empty and strange during the Kraken incident.

Although it was evening, the port was already dim due to the foggy weather, and the gas lights were turned on everywhere.

Mulan hadn't moved yet, and other passengers were overtaking him one after another, some eager to go home, some to take the opportunity to go shopping, some to have had enough of the ship's meals and to go to the big city of Valentine. After a good meal, the Princess Neshuriel behind her will set off for the final port Royal after two days of mooring.

The two carriages slowly stopped not far away, the doors opened, and a few people in uniform and a few people in civilian clothes came down. These were the detectives and officers of the Valentine Police Department, and Mulan was the first. I saw one of the detectives, and the detective quickly found him.

The appearance of the detective is somewhat similar to Mulan, but he is more mature than Mulan, and he has a short beard. The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and the expression on the detective's face turned into a blur. Surprised, he quickly walked towards Mulan.

"Mulan! Are you back?"

Mulan had imagined the scene of meeting with family members several times, and always felt that there would be various barriers, especially with her brother, but at this moment, there was a kind of excitement in her heart.

In the past, Mulan would at most respond indifferently even in this situation, but now Mulan opened his arms after a little hesitation.

"Leo! I'm back!"

After seeing Mulan's actions, Leo was only slightly taken aback, and immediately embraced Mulan and patted Mulan's back.

"Hahahaha, you are much stronger now, why didn't you write to me in advance? But it's good to be back, good to be back, old Buck will be happy!"

Feeling the strong arms of his younger brother, Leo, who has always been ruthless, also looked very excited, then turned around and shouted at his colleague.

"Look, this is my brother Mulan. He is a soldier on the front line. Is he as handsome as me?"

"Hahahaha, Mulan has become stronger! I don't even recognize it!"

Regardless of whether they knew Mulan or not, the other police officers and detectives would give Leo this face and congratulate the brothers on their reunion.

The feeling of family affection made Mulan feel the warmth in this cold foggy port, but he looked at his brother, and then at the Princess Nesshriel behind him, interrupting the other party's excitement.

"Leo, are you here for the Princess case?"

"Yeah, some crew members came to the police station to tell them that there was a murder on the ship, and there were still people missing, but the murderer has been caught, that is to say, it's just a procedure to bring people back to the police station."

Mulan shook his head slightly.

"This case is more complicated than you think. I'm afraid the real murderer has already disembarked. The one who was caught was just a scoundrel, and the girl who was killed was also."

"Haha, I'll handle the case. You get on the carriage and wait for me, I'll handle the case, and we'll talk about the rest when we go home!"

Leo patted Mulan on the shoulder, walked to the Princess with the police officers with a smile, took a few steps, Leo turned his head and said something to Mulan again.

"Mulan, I'll handle it!"

Mulan stood where he was, looked at the shoulder that Leo had patted on, and temporarily put away his complicated emotions. I didn't want to get involved. He turned to the carriage, but found that farther in the direction of the carriage, under a gas street lamp standing alone.

This is a man in a priest's uniform who is watching the Princess Nesshurrier. He seems to sense that Mulan is looking at him. The other party folded his hands on his chest and nodded slightly to Mulan, then turned and left.
