After being away from home for many years, he finally set foot on a merchant ship to return home. One night, news of the death of the owner of the ship, Tribute, suddenly came. Xue Runan took a closer look and found that it was his own body, which had been dead for a long time.
There was silence last night, who killed me?
Scholar: Last night I heard the sound of fish tails slapping, and when I went out I saw a butcher killing a shark, and fellow merchants were bribed by him to clean up the traces.
Butcher: The scholar became interested in the shark, and when he failed to succeed, he became angry and killed the shark. When the businessman who committed the crime saw that I found out, he bribed me in an attempt to conceal the truth. When he was rejected, he slandered me.
Merchant: I was originally a young master from an aristocratic family who went to sea to do business. Unexpectedly, the scholar who was traveling with me was plotting against the sharks. The butcher came across and wanted to kill the scholar and the sharks and then sell them for money. When the two of them saw me and found out about this, they wanted to kill me, but they also wanted to bribe me.
