Chapter 433 Qingzhou Sea Ghost Case 3
"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

The ship was shaking violently all the time, and the unbearable customers had already vomited round after round, and when they saw the skeletons with remaining flesh and blood, their stomachs turned upside down again.
The waves are surging, the wind is everywhere, and there seem to be countless flying knives hovering around the hull!
Everyone was frightened by the bones, everyone was in danger, and they all looked at the endless deep sea, showing the appearance of all the grass and trees
Everyone's every nerve is tense invisibly!

Whoa! ! !
The whole sea area reflects the blue and green light of the lights on the building boats, and the continuous raging waves roll like horned dragons, and the scales are shining brightly!

clatter clatter! ! !

Pieces of falling sea water glowed with glittering light, like falling stars, and like colored ink swayed by immortals!
However, such a spectacle made the pirates shudder! ! !
"It's not good! The sea fire landed, and the sea ghost boarded the ship. It boarded the ship! Run away! It will eat us up!!!"

In a panic, the pirates ran away sparsely, but because they were on the ship, they had nowhere to escape!
"Yan'er! What are you going to do?"

"I want to see who is this sea ghost?"

As Yan Mo said, he wanted to get rid of Qi Ming and fly down alone, but he didn't want the other party to help him, and while hugging her tightly, he flew down on the boat together!
In order to stabilize his body, Qi Ming took the flying rope as a traction halfway, kicked his legs, and paddled the glowing sea water to bring Yan Mo to the still sliding bones!
Under Qi Ming's restraint, Yan Mo leaned over and kicked hard with his long legs!

As a result, the two wooden boxes slipped down at an angle, supporting the skeleton and Yan Ming on the crooked plank of the ship!
No matter how flustered the boat was, Yan Mo seemed to be unable to hear. She looked at the skeleton carefully, and found that it was indeed a human bone. The flesh and blood sticking to the bone exuded a stench, which belonged to the ocean.

The robe that belonged to the big pound was tattered, not like being bitten, but more like tearing marks.

The rope that traps Dapound's ankle is a slipknot commonly used by fishermen. It can be loosened by pulling the lead, but the panic after falling into the sea and the obstruction of the current are enough to make people miss the opportunity to break free from the rope.

"What is it that can swallow a living person in such a short period of time?"

"There are no traces of gnawing on the bones, and there are fish scales mixed on the flesh and blood. I can't think of anything that has such a swallowing ability." Yan Mo said, staring at the bones thoughtfully, and couldn't help but frown. frown!
They were still talking here, and the panic outside was still spreading, the whistling cold wind passed through the ears, and amidst the screams one after another, the fire on the first floor of the main building was instantly extinguished, leaving only darkness, echoing the cold sea water and the gloomy sky!
"!" Yan Ming and the others turned their heads in unison, and looked together with everyone holding their breath. After a moment of silence, suddenly!
Boom!On the first floor of the main building, flames continued to burst out! ! !
"Hurry up and put out the fire! Hurry up!"

"Throw these evil things out! Quick!"

"I dare not! I dare not! That is the seedling of the sea fire. I am afraid that it will burn me up!"

"Don't talk nonsense! You can use the knife or the sword! Throw these things back into the sea!"

"I dare not go to you."

The little pirates shook their heads and refused because they were afraid of the mysterious power. No one dared to enter the first floor!
"Go! Go and see!"

Yan Mo grabbed Qi Ming and walked crookedly on the swaying boat through the rope. The two of them finally entered the first-floor building, and found that under the flames, there was a glow of oil!
It was the candles in the boat that were knocked over.

These candlesticks are all carefully designed. The side of the small candlestick against the wooden board of the hull is isolated by copper sheets. The structure of the large candlestick is more delicate. There is a spiral stand on the suspender above the candle. We are all safe and sound.

But just now the bow of the ship was suddenly picked up by huge waves, which overwhelmed some spiral tables, or broke and fell, or got stuck and was difficult to reset, causing candles to fall one after another!
"It's the candle that fell!" Yan Mo leaned on the door frame, turned around and shouted at everyone! "There are no sea ghosts, they are all lies!"

"No. No sea ghosts"

"The girl said it all! Why don't you hurry up and put out the fire?!"

"Hurry up, put out the fire! Hurry up!!"

The pirates naturally wanted to fight the fire in order to protect themselves, but seeing the sea fire seeds all over the board, no one wanted to be the first!
With the strength of Qi Ming's support, Yan Mo shook the cargo box on the side with his palm, and used the thrust from the bottom of the box to sweep the seawater on the ship's deck, along with the nocturnal algae, into the interior of the first floor!

"Are you crazy?! It's a seedling of sea fire, and throwing it into the fire will only make it burn more! Do you want to drag us back if you don't want to live?!"

Boom!
"what!!!"

Qi Ming didn't want to hear others question Yan Mo, so he slapped the caller far away with his palm!

"Our head is well-informed and knows the truth. She is saving you."

"." Seeing this, the pirates looked at each other, not daring to step forward or stop them, but just waited quietly.
"That's just glowing seaweed, not fire." Yan Mo stepped back, pointed at the extinguished flames in the room, and said, "Look, they're all burnt."

Before the words were finished, another huge wave struck again!
As a result, the hull shook violently again!

The flowing sea water sparsely swallowed some of the flames on the ground, but the fire left on the pillars and walls expanded the raging area due to the shaking of the ship's hull!

After witnessing the truth, everyone finally started to act one after another, picked up pots and pans and started scooping up the glowing sea water!
"Put them out! You! Get the water! You! Open those windows!"

Seeing that the pirates acted well, Qi Ming took a step ahead and led Yan Mo to exit the first floor of the main building as soon as possible.

As the waves subsided, those shining spots on the sea surface were slowly dissipating.
The fire on the first floor was gradually brought under control, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard someone shouting!

"Look! That's the adults' room!"

Everyone looked around after hearing the reputation, and saw a room in the annex, flickering candlelight, and a swimming black shadow suddenly appeared in the bright light! ! !

The moment they fixed their eyes, many people saw that black figure holding a spear and preparing to stab him down!

Under all kinds of tension, everyone saw that the black shadow suddenly changed and expanded. At the very moment, the candlelight was suddenly extinguished, and everything returned to silence! ! !
"!" Yan Ming and the two looked at each other, and they both showed their postures and flew up to the annex building!
"Yes, is it a sea ghost?! The sea ghost is on the boat! He's on the boat, ahhh!!!"

"It's going to eat us! It's going to eat us!!!"

"Come back! Where are you going?! Come back to me!"

Some pirates couldn't stand it, they jumped into the sea and tried to escape by sneaking on a red horse boat to save themselves!

"Don't forget who your boss is?! Escapers will be killed without mercy!"

Following the stern shout of the little pirate leader Guo Ze, the little pirates all stopped in their tracks, cowering in fear and not daring to speak.
Boss Jin and several other customers vomited so much that they couldn't pay attention to what happened around them.

And the masked young man leaned on the railing to watch, and saw that the two flying people were so agile, so he couldn't help but pay more attention!

Seeing that the situation has stabilized for the time being, Brother Guo left a team to look after the younger brothers, and rushed to the auxiliary building with another team!

After the two of Yan Ming fell down steadily, they had opened the door vigilantly and entered. The room was dark, the shaking floorboards creaked, and outside the open window, there were faint blue spots, and the waves were rolling and rustling.
"Fox, do you feel human breath?" Just a moment before entering the door, Yan Mo seemed to hear the sound of gold objects falling.

"Just caught a little bit, but the waves are so loud, I'm not sure."

"It's too dark inside, did you bring a fire bag?" Yan Mo asked, wanting to go to the window to have a look.

"Be careful!" Qi Ming hugged the other party urgently to avoid collision. He didn't dare to relax for a moment, turned on his maximum perception and protected Yan Mo, "Is there someone in front of you?"

Yan Mo didn't feel any breath, but smelled blood.

At this time, Guo Ze arrived with a torch!

"My lord! My lord!!"

As the light became clearer and clearer, Yan Mo took a closer look, and there was a corpse two feet in front of him!
"Stop!" Seeing that the other party wanted to check on the deceased, Guo Ze immediately yelled out! "Don't bother you two, I'll check it out." He was just in case, after all, the two seemed to be quite skilled.

Yan Mo didn't insist, and gave up the space in front of him.

As the pirate boy lit up the surroundings, the dead person who was lying on the ground was turned upside down. However, it was not Yu Xi who was wearing a thick satin robe, and the dead person was still warm!
"What happened?!"

Just at this time, Yu Xi crawled half-run from the first and a half floors of the annex building with a face of shock, and appeared outside the door!
"Boss Tong, Boss Tong?!"

Until now, everyone knew that the deceased was Boss Tong.

"What happened just now?" Yu Xi stared in disbelief, "How could Boss Tong?"

Although the storm did not stop at this time, it was much weaker than when it started!

Those sea fires have become more and more sparse and are slowly dissipating. However, everyone's fear of sea ghosts has not faded in the slightest
Guo Ze: "He died after being pierced through the heart by a sharp object from behind. It looks like a spear."

Everyone turned their heads to look at the roof of the room, because there was a cold spear hanging in the direction of the dead.

"It's the sea ghost that hangs the spear neatly on it, not the sea ghost, who can do it?"

"Yes. Everyone saw the black shadow just now! That's the sea ghost!"

"The sea ghost ate a big pound, and even killed Boss Tong! We... can we still be saved?"

"Don't panic!" Guo Ze yelled inside and outside the door, trying to calm everyone down, "Just now this girl has confirmed that the sea fire does not burn like the legend says, and this sea ghost may not be real either!"

"Even if the sea fire is not real, it is obvious to all that the big pound was eaten up! Brother Guo, we must land early, and we will become the belly of sea ghosts if we float down!"

"I told you to stop talking!" Guo Ze grabbed the younger brother behind him and threw him out viciously! "If you talk nonsense again, I will throw it out and feed it to sea ghosts!"

After this purge, the room was finally quiet.

"Why are you hanging a spear in the house?" Yan Mo asked Yu Xi thoughtfully.

"I should be aware that there are various sea legends, and I am also taboo, so I hung a spear on the top to deter the monsters and ghosts on the sea."

Yan Mo saw water stains all over the place, as well as sporadic strands of hair, and a little bit of straw powder, mixed with the blood of the dead, which made people feel terrified.
"Why is Boss Tong in the adult's room?"

"Shortly after picking up everyone, Boss Tong came over to have a drink with me. We had a great chat until almost sunset. The main building greeted everyone, and after the greeting, I came back here to continue drinking with him. Then the dinner was brought in, with wine and meat, Boss Tong got drunk when he was happy, I put a robe on him, and went downstairs Not long after, the sea waves attacked and the sea fire burst out. Boss Tong, after your death is so bizarre, who will have a good time with me?"

Yan Mo remembered the scene when Yu Xi appeared in front of her. She looked at the small wine jars that were overturned on the ground, and then looked out at the stormy sea. There's weirdness everywhere.
Boss Tong did indeed die strangely. Not only was the spear on the roof well placed, but there was no blood on the tip of the spear.

"The spear, can I take it off and have a look?"

Yu Xi looked at the other party and then at the spear: "Please do yourself a favor, the hanging rope is right here"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Mo had already pulled off the knot and flew to hold the spear!
After taking down the spear, she found through a rough comparison that the wound on the deceased was indeed the same size as the tip of the spear, but there was no blood or bloody smell on the spear, and there was a fine layer of dust on the top of the handle.The deceased still had a body temperature, so he had just died.

What she was sure of was that the murder weapon was not the spear, and all this seemed premeditated.
She looked at the dead man in Yu Xi's robe, and the cabin belonging to Yu Xi. The murderer's real target was obviously Yu Xi!

She wasn't the only one thinking this way, Yu Xi looked around and seemed to understand.

He muttered sadly and happily: "Could it be that Boss Tong saved me from a disaster."

Yan Mofei took the spear not only to examine the murder weapon, but also to inspect the pillars and curtains.

Some of the strands of hair that fell on the ground were not strands of hair, but threads of fabric.

Hair may fall out every day, but these curtains are all skillfully made, and the edges are well sealed, so it shouldn't fall so much
Then, she looked carefully and found that there was a burnt mark on one of the hair strands.

Picking up the hair, she went to the curtain near the spear, and tied it with the hair according to the pattern of the missing thread.
After using it, you will find that these are not hair strands, but hard and unbreakable horsehair!

Horse mane is harder than human hair, but it will also be defeated in the face of fire.

Following the direction in which the fabric threads were distributed on the ground, Yan Mo found that the increasingly sparse threads were pointing to the window on one side of the room, and she saw half of the less obvious water-stained footprints on the window sill!

Open the window that was blown back by the wind, and the waves splashed on the corridor are all water stains, no clues can be seen.

In Yu Xi's room, the door is facing the stairs, and this window is facing the guardrail and the sea. Looking out, there are other rooms side by side.

At that time, black shadows were swimming, and the lights suddenly went out, and the incident was plunged into "extreme darkness". Except that the door was "blocked" because she and Qi Ming broke into it, the two windows facing each other were completely dark. Possibly an escape hatch.

And the other window faced another cabin with closed doors and windows. The aisle between the two cabins was limited in width, but it could barely pass one person.

Although the clues in her hands are not clear enough, Boss Tong's death is definitely not caused by sea ghosts.

What's more, the deceased's body was full of scrapes and bruises.
"Regardless of whether it was a spear or not that killed Boss Tong, the deceased was pierced through the heart by a sharp weapon, but he died unconsciously, and his expression did not change in panic or pain. Not only that, but Boss Tong had many obvious marks on his body just now when the ship shook violently. The collision marks indicate that he was completely unconscious before his death."

Yu Xi: "Boss Tong is drunk, so he is naturally unconscious."

"On these few jars of wine, after drinking for several hours, Boss Tong either has a very good drinking capacity, or he has a very poor drinking capacity, and he will get drunk after a few drinks. The drinking capacity is poor, and he will be drunk after a few drinks. After so long, he should have sobered up a long time ago. Not to mention a good drinker, Boss Tong should have woken up long ago after bumping into each other. Besides, how painful it was to wear his heart, he was able to die peacefully." As he spoke, Yan Mo picked up the wine jar and said with a smirk, " My lord is really clever, using drunkenness to cover up the sweat medicine is really the best~"

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Xi became a little annoyed when he heard this, "Boss Tong is indeed drunk." As he said that, he snatched all the wine jars. There was not a drop of wine left in it, only the smelly seawater.

Yan Mo watched silently. She didn't know what Boss Tong's drinking capacity was. Seeing that Yu Xi was so nervous, it seemed that there was indeed something wrong with the drink.The perspiration medicine was actually just a guess of hers, after all Boss Tong died "in place of" Yu Xi.

"Hmph!" Yan Mo turned his head and said, "I'm afraid this transaction is not easy. It's a troubled time for Qingzhou to suffer. Besides, who doesn't have any secret business, Mr. Yu may have taken a fancy to the inventory in our hands, Deliberately throwing bricks to attract jade, want to have a grand banquet?"

"It's nothing, I should be joking!" Yu Xi strongly denied it, as if talking about suffering, why would he be so groveling before, "You are my Yu Xi's food and clothing parents, how could I want to harm you? ?” he pleaded.

Qi Ming quietly listened to the conversation, and couldn't help showing a small smile secretly.

Yan Mo: "Then tell me, why did you drug Boss Tong?"

"This..." Yu Xi showed a face of embarrassment, not knowing whether to advance or retreat
"It should be reasonable. We boarded the ship to trade, not to mention suffering such an unreasonable disaster, and there were people on the ship who died strangely. If the murderer is a sea ghost, we can only consider ourselves unlucky.

However, if the murderer is a human being, shouldn't we find him out?Master Yu, you are one of the suspects. "

In embarrassment, it was the masked young man who stepped into the cabin with bold words.
