After waking up

Although he knew that there must be a series of investigative procedures waiting for the Nice Helier Princess after it docked, Mulan immediately got up and started packing, stacking and storing clothes and toiletries neatly, and then putting them all into his suitcase , sorting out the rest of the scattered things, and then quickly left the room with his suitcase.

In the corridor of the cabin, there were many people who made similar moves to Mulan. In twos and threes, people carried their luggage out of the room and prepared to disembark and board the port.

"Mr. Jonest, are you disembarking today?"

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

"Well, you too?"

When Mulan said hello to the other party, the person had already arrived.

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

"No, I'm almost feeling better now, and I don't need to carry my luggage with my left hand. Just walk together."

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

The young man was very happy with Mullan's invitation. As a retired officer, Mr. Jonest had outstanding temperament and extraordinary courage. He could easily attract the admiration of others, especially those who acted together that night, and the other party It's also relatively approachable.

The two of them chatted and came to the embarkation and disembarkation deck. The gangplank steps had already been set up. Many passengers and crew members, whether they had arrived at their destination or were still on the way, planned to get off the ship and go to Valentine, so it was already here. It was packed with people.

"what happened?"

When Mulan arrived here, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately trotted forward with his luggage.

"Mr. Jonest? Wait for me!"

Shouldn't the ships be blocked? Shouldn’t everyone be temporarily prohibited from disembarking? Why in Mulan's eyes at this moment, there are people disembarking from the ship on both springboard steps.

"Give in, give in!" "Sorry, give in!"

Mulan kept repeating his apologies. He held the suitcase in his right hand and grabbed his hat with his left hand. He found various gaps with his body and moved forward. If there was a crowd, he just squeezed through with brute force. He arrived soon. A relatively forward position.

Some crew members were responsible for easing passengers off the ship. At this time, one of them was diligently carrying two suitcases for a gentleman.

"Sir Charlie, please go first."

The gentleman nodded and got off the boat with his cane. The crew behind him followed with suitcases. Many other passengers crowded around and waited. When some of the privileged people got off first, the others seemed to be in high spirits. They were squeezing toward the gangplank like sardines.

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Mulan carried his suitcase and crossed the crowd, ignoring all the glares and curses from the passengers around him, and forced his way to the front seat. However, the young man before him could not keep up and was already so crowded that he could not find his way around. .

"Who are you?"

Many people in the crew did not know Mulan, but the latter did not want to introduce himself and asked directly.

"Why were the passengers disembarked immediately? Where is the Valentine police? What should we do about the cases on the ship? What should we do if the murderer disembarks?"

Some people who were getting off the boat looked back at the commotion on the side of the boat and continued walking without caring, while the crew above felt that Mulan was too nervous.

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

Just as he was talking, the crew saw another distinguished passenger approaching and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Mrs. Matthews, please come this way! Guests on the side, please behave like a gentleman. Please give way."

Mulan's expression was not very good. He looked at the people under the boat who had already disembarked one after another. He did not make any drastic move to block the disembarkation entrance, but followed the crowd to make way for the distinguished Mrs. Matthews. .

Whether it was the workplace competition in the 21st century or the brutal war that had just ended, Mulan was not an idealist, and he quickly understood the current situation.

Recognize reality and recognize yourself.

"hehe."

Mulan smiled mockingly and was too lazy to care anymore, but he couldn't help but glance at the people who got off the boat first. The fog in the port made it a little hazy below, and the lights of the carriage stopped and then left.

Now that he had squeezed into the front position, Mulan had no intention of going back and queuing up again. Soon, he got off the boat in the current order.

As his feet set foot on the ground of Port Valentin, the coldness in the mist came over, giving Mulan a faint sense of familiarity. Looking back at the Nice Helier Princess, passengers like ants were still squeezing out. , he had never noticed that the passengers on this ship were so densely packed, and it clearly felt particularly empty and strange during the Kraken incident.

Although it was only evening, the port was already a little dark due to the fog, and the gas lights everywhere had been turned on.

Mulan hasn't moved yet, and other passengers are passing him one after another. Some are eager to go home, some want to take the opportunity to go shopping, and some are fed up with the meals on the ship and want to go to the big city of Valentine. Have a good meal, and the Nice Helier Princess behind you will set off for the final destination of Port Royal after two days of anchorage.

Two carriages slowly stopped not far away, the doors opened, and a few people in uniforms and a few people in civilian clothes got out. These were detectives and police officers from the Valentine Police Department, and Mulan was the first He immediately saw one of the police detectives, and the police detective quickly spotted him.

The police detective looked somewhat similar to Mulan, but he was more mature than Mulan and had a short beard. The two looked at each other blankly for a few seconds, and the expression on the detective's face melted into one. Surprised, he walked quickly towards Mulan.

"Mulan! Are you back?"

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

In the past, Mulan could only respond coldly even in this situation, but now, after a slight hesitation, Mulan directly opened his arms.

"Leo! I'm back!"

After seeing Mulan's actions, Leo was just slightly stunned, and immediately hugged Mulan vigorously and patted Mulan on the back.

"Hahahahaha, you are much stronger now, why didn't you write to me in advance? But it'll be good if you come back. It'll be great if you come back. Old Buck will be very happy!"

Feeling his brother's strong arms, Leo, who had always been cold, seemed very excited, and then turned around and shouted to his colleagues.

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

"Hahahaha, Mulan has become so strong! I can't even recognize him!"

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

The feeling of family affection made Mulan feel warm in this cold foggy port. However, he looked at his brother and then at the Princess Ness Helier behind him, interrupting the other's excitement.

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

"Yes, a crew member came to the police station to tell them that there was a murder on the ship and that someone was missing. However, the murderer has been caught. It is just a matter of going through the procedures to bring the person back to the police station."

Mulan shook his head slightly.

"This case is more complicated than you think. The real murderer may have disembarked a long time ago. The one caught was just a gangster, and the girl who was killed was also..."

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

Leo patted Mulan on the shoulder and walked towards the Princess with the police officers with a smile. After taking a few steps, Leo turned to Mulan and said something again.

"Mu Lan, I will take care of it!"

Mulan stood there, looked at the shoulder that Leo had patted, and temporarily put away his complicated emotions. "I don't want to get involved yet." He turned around and walked towards the carriage, only to find that further away in the direction of the carriage, under a gas street lamp A person stands.

This was a man wearing a priest's uniform. He was looking at the Nice Helier Princess. He seemed to notice that Mulan was looking at him. The man crossed his hands on his chest and nodded slightly to Mulan, then turned and left.
