The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 721 You Did It Too Roughly
When they arrived on deck, it was already crowded with people.

In addition to Hai Kuotian, Master and Disciple Gongsun Jieyu, Jin Lingzhi and Hua Zhenzhen, Gou Zichang and Ding Feng were all there as well.

Right at the helm, Xiang Tianfei had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the deck.

Hai Kuotian asked the sailors and learned that Xiang Tianfei had been here alone. When they heard the screams and the sound of falling into the water and rushed over, Xiang Tianfei had already disappeared.

It was obvious that Xiang Tianfei was dead.

Hai Kuotian stared at the bloodstains on the deck, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, feeling shocked, angry and scared.

Ding Feng glanced at Hai Kuotian and suddenly said, "I know that Master Xiang is very skilled in martial arts. There are not many people in the martial arts world who can kill him silently."

As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua, Gou Zichang and Bai Zhuzhu.

Hu Tiehua sneered, "We are all very aware of Master Ding's high martial arts skills, as he was able to easily block the stabbing sword. May I ask where you were when Xiang Tianfei got into trouble?"

Ding Feng said calmly, "Of course I was sleeping on the bed."

Hu Tiehua turned to Gou Zichang and said, "Brother Gou shared a room with him, so I guess you must have seen him?"

Gou Zichang laughed a little strangely, "I was relieving myself at the time and was not in the room, otherwise Master Ding would not have suspected me."

Chu Liuxiang looked at Jin Banhua and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he said, "The one who killed Master Xiang may not be better than him in martial arts."

Hu Tiehua was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately reacted and applied what he learned, "Maybe the murderer is an acquaintance of Mr. Xiang, so he was able to get close to him quietly, leaving him off guard, and then plot against him!"

Hai Kuotian looked up suddenly, "That's right! Otherwise, there would be noise when the two of them fight, and those sailors would definitely come after hearing the noise, and they would definitely not miss the whereabouts of the murderer."

Although he said this, he didn't dare to look at Ding Feng at all.

Ding Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Chief Gou, "But the others have no grudges against Mr. Xiang, why did they do such a cruel thing?"

Chief Gou glared at Ding Feng. "He and I only had a verbal conflict. Besides, since we had a conflict, how could he not be on guard against me?"

After Hai Kuotian and Gou Zichang said this, the scope of suspects was narrowed again.

"What's more..." Chu Liuxiang pointed at the blood on the nail plate, "This blood has spread very widely and looks like it was sprayed out. It is also a clue."

"It's normal to spit blood when being ambushed. How can it be considered a clue?" Hu Tiehua asked.

Chu Liuxiang said, "Since the murderer wanted to kill quietly, he certainly didn't want to leave any traces. But Master Xiang didn't intend to do as he wished. Instead, he sprayed the murderer with blood before he died, just to leave us clues."

Chu Liuxiang looked around and saw that there was no one wearing outer clothes at the scene, only Ding Feng and Jin Lingzhi.

Ding Feng remained calm, "I don't have the habit of wearing outer clothes to sleep."

Jin Lingzhi's face changed and she glanced at Hua Zhenzhen. "I couldn't sleep so I came out for a walk. I didn't wear a coat, but I was always in another direction. Those sailors can testify to that."

Hua Zhenzhen testified weakly, "Miss Jin was indeed bored staying in the room. When she went out, she left her coat at the bedside."

Hu Tiehua may not believe Jin Lingzhi, but he certainly believes Jin Banhua's maid. However, the pearl is still lingering in his mind, so he stabbed Jin Lingzhi and said, "Before the real murderer is found, everyone is a suspect. Not wearing an outer coat does not prevent murder."

Jin Lingzhi wanted to get angry, but after looking at Hu Tiehua, she finally suppressed her anger.

Compared to the introverted and easy-going but frightening Yuan Suiyun, the straightforward and irritable but reassuring Hu Tiehua gave Jin Lingzhi a different and special feeling. She glanced at Ding Feng, with fear, uneasiness, hesitation flashing in her eyes, and finally turning into a touch of determination.

……

When Jin Banhua returned to the room, she saw Ding Feng wearing a long gown.

Ding Feng looked at Jin Banhua and said thoughtfully, "Brother Jin, are you not going to Chu Xiangshuai and the others' room?"

Jin Banhua said indifferently, "I'm here to see if you are the murderer."

Ding Feng's pupils shrank, "Brother Jin, why do you say that?"

Captain Gouzi was about to go out with his long leather suitcase, but at this moment he couldn't help but look back in surprise, glanced at Ding Feng, and then looked at Jin Banhua with a twinkling gaze.

"It's very simple. When Xiang Tianfei died, Chu Liuxiang, I and the other two were all on the lower deck of the ship with the leader of the Hai Gang. And Gou Zichang and Master Gongsun Jieyu and his apprentice were in conflict with Xiang Tianfei."

Jin Banhua said as a matter of course, "Aren't you and Jin Lingzhi the only suspects left?"

"Compared to Jin Lingzhi, of course you, who have cooperated with the Purple Whale Gang, are more familiar with Xiang Tianfei." Jin Banhua's analysis was very clear. "So you are the first suspect, isn't this obvious?"

Jin Banhua shook her head and sighed, "You don't have enough experience in doing bad things. You are even worse than those thugs who do dirty work under the imperial city of Beijing. You exposed yourself at the first opportunity. You did it too crudely."

Ding Feng stared at Jin Banhua blankly, then forced a smile, "Brother Jin, you are joking. Since I have cooperated with the Purple Whale Gang, why do I want to kill Xiang Tianfei?"

"I'm here to ask you, aren't I?" Jin Banhua said carelessly, "Are they planning to be disloyal, or do you think they're getting in the way by being middlemen?"

Ding Feng stared at Jin Banhua so hard that his breathing gradually became heavier.

Behind Jin Banhua, Chief Gouzi winked at Ding Feng.

Ding Feng shook his head slightly. If he killed Jin Banhua at this time, he would be exposed. But in terms of real martial arts, he was no match for Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua.

So his goal has not changed, which is to kill Hai Kuotian and Xiang Tianfei, two experts who are good at operating ships, and then leave an explosive trap and sneak away. No matter whether Chu Liuxiang is fooled or not, they will die at sea.

He had originally thought about whether to take Jin Banhua away, but looking at the relationship between Jin Banhua and Chu Liuxiang, he knew it was impossible.

The benefits that Jinbanhua may bring cannot offset the threat that Chu Liuxiang may cause.

So Ding Feng's eyes turned and he explained with a wry smile, "Brother Jin, you are joking. It is also possible that Gongsun Jieyu took the opportunity to take action when he went to apologize to Xiang Tianfei on behalf of his apprentice."

Jin Banhua flipped her palm and said, "With his martial arts skills, I can suppress him with a flip of my hand. How can he be qualified to be a murderer?"

"Maybe he has hidden his martial arts?" Ding Feng winked at the leader Hook.

Chief Hook nodded, "Anyway, they are also suspects, I will go test them!"

Both Ding Feng and Captain Gou were still wary of Gongsun Jieyu. Since they wanted to trap all the people on the boat to death at sea, they naturally had to know more about Gongsun Jieyu and his unknown master and disciple to avoid any accidents.

So Hook went out and knocked on the door next door.

When Ying Wanli opened the hatch and saw Captain Hook, he was also stunned. He guessed what he meant with a flash of his eyes. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he let Captain Hook in.
