Chapter 152 No.20 Scene [-]

Fan Zhen immediately ordered the boat to stop, and then personally led the team into the water to rescue people.However, when he and a group of sailors hurriedly dragged the man who fell into the water back onto the boat, he found that he had died for a long time!

"Isn't this Lu Le? He is a first-class water player, how could he be drowned so quickly?"

Fan Zhen immediately recognized the face of the deceased, and squatted down to examine it carefully—except for large and small scratches on Lu Le's body, there were no fatal wounds, but his lips were bruised and his eyes were bulging. The appearance of drowning.

"Brother Fan, don't jump to conclusions too quickly. If it was someone who fell into the water and died, his lower abdomen would be swollen, and his hands and feet would also be swollen and wrinkled. I'm afraid there are other strange reasons for this person's death!"

Leng Jiayun, who had just put Qi Ziyin to sleep, followed the sound and came to the deck at this moment, but whispered in the man's ear.Now that people are close to the scene, the light on the deck is becoming increasingly dim, and it is difficult to see clearly.After some discussion, the two decided to carry the body of the sailor named Lu Le back to the cabin, and then examine it carefully by the light.

As the woman said, after they removed all the clothes from the dead body, they saw the blood veins on the abdomen protruding from under the skin, which was a terrifying blue-gray color.After cutting the flesh with a knife, it was even more clearly seen that the blood in the blood vessels had turned into a sticky paste like rice porridge!
"As far as I know, there is a fish called poisonous scorpionfish in the depths of the Chanying Sea, with seven slender back spines growing on its back. Once stabbed by it, it will stop breathing in the blink of an eye. And the symptoms after poisoning , is the blood porridge all over the body. This kind of poisonous scorpionfish is not easy to catch, and few people know of its existence. I also heard about it from Baili many years ago, and I just realized how powerful this thing is!"

The woman in purple stared at the corpse, and it took a long time before she spoke again.However, her guess made Fan Zhen's expression change immediately:

"Miss Leng means that someone on this boat intentionally poisoned Lu Le to death?!"

The woman nodded: "Look at the flesh deep in the wound has turned black, it must be poisoned. It's just—it seems unlikely that some of the islanders would do such a thing, and they definitely don't have the ability— ——Let’s keep the poisoning a secret first, and temporarily say that Lu Le died by drowning.”

"How can this be done? It is about the safety of hundreds of people on board. What if the murderer continues to poison and kill people?"

Fan Zhen, who has a straightforward personality, immediately said no, shaking his head and shouting.Seeing this, Leng Jiayun immediately stepped forward and covered his mouth:
"Hush your voice! The reason why the murderer chose to throw the body into the sea at this time is naturally to deceive others. Now that the other party is in the dark and we are in the open, the only way to investigate secretly is to find him out as soon as possible!"

As Leng Jiayun said, her brows frowned even tighter.She felt faintly in her heart that the murderer killed tonight was just to test the toxicity of the poisonous scorpionfish, but his real purpose is still unknown.

What makes women feel even more troublesome is that it is not sure what the murderer used to commit the crime.And the murder weapon used to poison Lu Le was thrown into the vast ocean in all likelihood, and it is impossible to find it.

So, without waiting for Fan Zhen to say anything, Leng Jiayun, who was anxious to catch the murderer, tensed up, and started looking for clues on the boat.Soon, she found the sailor who first spotted Lu Le falling into the water near the port side of the bow.After all, the people who watch the watch every night are registered in the register, so there should be no spies mixed in, and what they say is more credible.

The other party seemed to be a little apprehensive about the woman interrogating him again, and asked anxiously: "Didn't the villain have already told the two of you about Lu Le before? Could it be that you are suspecting that the villain is not successful? I knew it was so , I shouldn’t have agreed to do this patrol work tonight…”

"Answer whatever you ask, where does all this nonsense come from!"

Fan Zhen was impatient, seeing the other party complaining repeatedly, he immediately widened his eyes.The woman from Dongli raised her hand to signal him not to be reckless, and then used the cliché skills cultivated in Jiayunzhai to approach the sailor with a smile and comforted him:

"Actually, we only care about the detailed situation at that time. After all, there are people dead on the ship now. If Lu Le fell into the water due to an accident, we must find out the reason. Otherwise, if it causes people to fall into the sea again, whether injured or Even death is a great hidden danger. Besides, Ziyin is still injured right now, so it's right for the two of us to share more for him."

Seeing that the woman in front of him looked kind and conciliatory, the sailor gradually relaxed:
"Miss Leng is right. But the villain thinks that it is unlikely to be an accident. Because when I was on patrol, I could see clearly that Lu Le was quietly leaning against the side of the ship from the beginning to the end, as if blowing the sea breeze, but suddenly there was no sign." It fell into the sea at one end."

"Then where did he come onto the deck from before?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it. I just remember that when he walked to the side of the boat, he seemed to be drunk, staggering and standing unsteadily."

"Are you really drunk?!"

Leng Jiayun and Fan Zhen looked at each other, and suddenly there was a thump in their hearts—there were only two places on the ship where there would be wine, one was as ballast cargo piled on the bottom of the ship, and the other was a daily limit from the galley to the sailors supply.There are only two keys to the cargo warehouse at the bottom of the ship, one of which is kept by Fan Zhen, and the other is in the hands of Qi Ziyin, so it is absolutely impossible for idlers to enter.And if someone intentionally poisons the wine——

The woman didn't dare to think about it anymore, she thanked the other party quickly, and rushed towards the kitchen in three steps at a time.

The cramped compartment was filled with the smell of sweat from sailors and the smell of wine and vegetables.The two smells mixed together, as if they had plunged headlong into a vat of swill that had been rotten.It was midnight, and only a few people hadn't returned to the cabin to rest. When the woman rushed into the door, they all looked sideways in astonishment.

"Miss Leng, what kind of wind brought you here? This is where we vulgar men often come, so don't get your clothes dirty."

One of them greeted him immediately with a smile. It was Fan Zhen's deputy clerk who was in charge of patrolling the ship every day.Right now, there was a glass of wine that had just been filled in his hand, Leng Jiayun felt his back go cold when he saw this, raised his hand and knocked the wine to the ground.

"Miss Leng, what are you doing, it's a pity that it's my last glass of wine!"

Alcohol is a very luxurious existence on board, and it is exclusively for the entertainment of sailors who are not on duty.Seeing that all the fine wine was poured under his feet, the other party couldn't help shouting in distress.

"This wine may be poisonous, don't drink it anymore!"

Up to now, Leng Jiayun didn't intend to continue to hide it from the crew, so she told the people in front of her that Lu Le was poisoned last night.Unexpectedly, the other party was stunned for a moment, but did not show the slightest tension or anger, but looked at her in surprise and said:

"Miss Leng, don't be joking. We know Lu Le better than you. Don't look at this old boy as a big and three-faced boy. In fact, he can't drink at all, and he has never touched a drop of alcohol. We have been drinking this old wine since we were in Qingwan. I sealed it and drank it all the way until today. If it was really poisonous, more than half of the people on board would have died long ago!"

"But the patrolman clearly told us—"

"It's even more impossible. The guy who was supposed to be in charge of the night shift tonight was lazy and didn't go on duty at all. Instead, he lay in this room and slept all night. The subordinates just discovered him. If you don't believe me, you can ask him face to face. !"

Leng Jiayun hadn't reacted yet, but she saw Li Fu walked to a desk in the corner in two steps, and brought a thin young man forward:
"Brother Clerk indeed arranged for me to patrol the boat tonight, but I was too drunk to make it over. I was worried about being scolded by Commander Fan, and I heard that someone died, so I hid here all the time... ..."

"You bastard! Who is that person who is patrolling the stern of the ship now?"

Fan Zhen immediately grabbed the opponent's neckline and swung his fist to punch him down.But Leng Jiayun, who was beside her, had already changed her face upon hearing this:
"Don't worry about that, Ziyin might be in danger!"

With a cry of surprise, she lifted the corner of her skirt and rushed out the door.Fan Zhen also seemed to realize that something was wrong, and ruthlessly pushed the young man to the ground, followed him like crazy, and ran towards the compartment where Qi Ziyin was sleeping.

Just after breaking through the door, Leng Jiayun saw the person who deliberately misled her earlier.The other party seemed to have expected that his identity would be revealed, so he held a dagger in his forehand, dangling it on the sleeping Qi Ziyin's neck, squeezed his throat and shouted:

"Stop, both of you, don't get any closer! My knife is also poisoned with the poison of the poisonous scorpion. If you dare to act rashly, the young master of Ye Kingdom will die immediately!"

"Who exactly are you?"

The woman in purple was afraid that she would wake up the sleeping young man, so she had to deal with him in a low voice.

The person on the opposite side didn't answer right away, but just smiled, and gently dug at the corner of the eye with his index finger:

"People on land are not as dull as I imagined. I thought you two would waste a lot of time on those sailors who only know how to drink."

"Tiaohulishan! You killed people on the ship just to take the opportunity to get close to Ziyin, didn't you?"

"It's not wrong to say that. It's just that I have been lurking by your side for many years, and now I don't want to do anything if I have no choice!"

"What is lurking for a long time? What does it mean to be forced?!"

Facing the Dongli woman's questioning, the man didn't continue the conversation, but increased the strength of his fingertips.Hearing a light sound, the nails actually pierced into the skin at the corner of his eyes, and then with a strong force, the entire face was torn off from the face, revealing the next murloc face with scales!
"I know what the consequences will be if I eat the Lu Hui Dan given by the first seat, so I have relied on this method to hide my identity all these years! Originally, I planned to wait for the opportunity to go to Lu after the beginning of spring, and I will hide my name and never return to youth. Who knows, who knew that the first seat would launch an attack in advance! The poisonous poison in the winter of last year was already a warning to you. Originally, if you kept silent about finding the ultimate power of the ancestors, nothing would happen Nothing will happen, and those people will not die! Many of them are also my old acquaintances!"

The murloc was just talking to himself, and seemed a little crazy for a while.

Leng Jiayun's face became more and more ugly.It turns out that the poisonous plague that broke out on Qingwan was also caused by the murlocs!

"And why do you want to prevent us from finding the ultimate power?"

"Miss Leng, you don't understand! Even if you keep yourselves safe in Qingwan, he will kill all the people on the land sooner or later! After all, he has been planning for many years, and he will never allow any omissions in his plan!"

"Who is the head seat you mentioned?!"

The woman in purple was really taken aback by the other party's sensational explanation, and she felt cold sweat running down her back—it turned out that those murlocs with unknown origins not only possessed the powerful ability to capture Qingwan, but also had been secretly planning a war. A huge unknown conspiracy!

However, before she could continue her questioning, Qi Ziyin, whose head and face were wrapped in muslin, woke up suddenly, blinking his sleepy eyes and asked strangely, "Sister Jia? What are you guys doing?"

The murloc came back to his senses because of this, and immediately jumped up from the side of the couch, grabbed the boy's hair with one hand, and put the knife on his neck with the other: "It's useless to say anything now! I must capture this little devil and give it to the chief, if you stop me, I don't care and kill him now!"

Unexpectedly, the corner of Leng Jiayun's mouth curled up, and she pulled Fan Zhen out of the way: "Okay, then you can take him away!"

"Don't play any tricks with me!"

Seeing this, the murloc on the opposite side suddenly panicked, pointed at the tip of the woman's nose with a knife and cursed.Unexpectedly, the white-clothed boy in his hand suddenly got into trouble, and he snatched the dagger away, and then made a standard grab, knocking him down in an instant!
"You, you brat, aren't you seriously injured?!"

The murloc was inexplicably astonished, screaming with almost all his strength.

But the young man suddenly raised his hand and tore off all the fine cloth wrapped around his head.What was revealed afterwards was Mo Chen's face!
"Thanks to Ms. Leng's extra care, in order to prevent the murderer from taking the opportunity to deal with the young master Ziyin, he ordered me to change into his appearance in advance, and wait for you to fall into the trap!"

Mo Chen and Fan Zhen worked together to tie the murloc's hands tightly behind his back, making him unable to move at all.

The furious murloc struggled and continued to roar loudly: "I'm already a prisoner, why don't you kill me quickly?!"

"Until we fully figure out what kind of conspiracy the leader you said is planning, your life still has some value! Detain this person and send someone to guard him!"

Leng Jiayun chuckled, waved her sleeves and ordered Fan Zhen and Mo Chen to take her away.Unexpectedly, the murloc's body suddenly became stiff, his eyes were protruding and bloodshot!
"It's a poisonous scorpionfish!"

The woman in purple suddenly reacted, but it was too late to stop it.The poison quickly entered the meridians of the murloc's body, and the three people in the cabin could only watch helplessly as his aura became weaker and weaker:

"I originally... really... didn't want to do this. But now... the only... death I can... be free..."

"What do you mean? What don't you want?!"

Fan Zhen rushed forward and grabbed the opponent by the collar, wanting to question him, but the murloc was out of breath and couldn't utter a word.At the same time, the three of them also heard a hurried horn sound from outside the cabin, and then a sailor broke in from the door:

"The murlocs are attacking in a big way, and they are crawling towards the ship!"
