The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 723 Everything is clear

Haikuotian is gone.

Several pirate sailors who had seen him were also killed, and a cinnabar palm print was imprinted on the back of each of them.

The most suspicious person is of course Ding Feng, who once went to look for him.

But Ding Feng brought Jin Lingzhi to testify for him.

When everyone gathered together, they learned that Master and disciple Gongsun Jieyu had Jin Lingzhi who came to find them as a witness, while Chief Gou Zi had Hu Tiehua who had just woken up as a witness.

Jin Banhua and Hua Zhenzhen were on the deck all the time, and Chu Liuxiang and Zhang San came up later.

After talking for a long time, everyone discovered that everyone had an alibi - of course, the premise was that the witnesses were not lying.

Hua Zhenzhen looked at the golden banhua and pointed at the golden Ganoderma lucidum.

Obviously, Jin Lingzhi lied.

She gave Ding Feng's bloodstained gown to Chu Liuxiang and covered up Ding Feng's murder. What did she want to do?
It feels so contradictory!

Jin Banhua smiled and nodded. It was right to feel the contradiction. This was exactly the same as the situation of the miserable heroine in modern TV dramas who was entangled between the scheming domineering president and the passionate young man.

Gu Long was decades ahead!

……

In the restaurant, everyone looked at each other.

Chu Liuxiang originally suspected Ding Feng, but he had Jin Lingzhi as a witness, so he was confused at this time and did not express his suspicion.

Jin Banhua watched them play Werewolf with a smile on her face, not intending to provoke them at all.

That is to say, Ding Feng completely gave up Jin Lingzhi. When Jin Lingzhi met Yuan Suiyun again, he found that Yuan Suiyun had no intention of punishing Ding Feng. Then he completely turned to Hu Tiehua, and finally dragged Yuan Suiyun to die together, exchanging his life for that of Hu Tiehua and his group.

I have saved Hu Tiehua three times. As the saying goes, you should send a Buddha to the west. I should at least consider his lifelong affairs.

Hu Tiehua suspected Ding Feng, Ding Feng suspected Gou Zichang, Gou Zichang suspected Gongsun Jieyu...

In the end, no one could make sense of it.

Hu Tiehua felt his stomach growling. Looking at the food and wine in front of him, he murmured, "Since we are not dead yet, why don't we eat first?"

Zhang San glanced at him and said coldly, "But after eating it, it's hard to say whether you will live or die."

Chu Liuxiang smiled slightly and took the lead in picking up his chopsticks.

As soon as he started, everyone felt relieved and ate in peace.

Ding Feng's eyes flashed, and he deliberately reminded everyone to drink two fewer glasses of wine, and it would be better to reschedule the previous drinking appointment between Jin Lingzhi and Hu Tiehua.

Jin Lingzhi's cheek twitched, and she sank her face, sneering, "It doesn't matter whether you drink or not, but I won't be the one who gets drunk."

Hu Tiehua was a person who could not stand provocation, and he immediately responded, "Am I the one who is drunk?"

So they started a drinking contest.

Chu Liuxiang's eyes flickered. He glanced at Ding Feng and then looked at Jin Banhua.

Then he saw Jin Banhua making a bet with Hua Zhenzhen, "Guess who will win between the two of them? Hu Tiehua is an alcoholic, even if he drinks twice as much as Jin Lingzhi, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Hua Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him, "You want to tempt me to bet on Hu Tiehua to win? What do you want to bet on?"

Jin Banhua rubbed her hands together, "Warm the bed?"

Hua Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and said, "What if you lose?"

"What do you say?" Jin Banhua asked.

"Let me punch you in the nose." Hua Zhenzhen said.

"Okay!" Jin Banhua nodded.

Hua Zhenzhen also nodded, "Okay, then I'll bet on Lingzhi to win."

Jin Banhua glared, "What?"

"I said I bet on Lingzhi to win." Hua Zhenzhen smiled like a little fox who had successfully stolen a chicken. "You have no moral principles!" Jin Banhua shouted.

"I never said that I bet on Hu Tiehua to win." Hua Zhenzhen said with a smile.

Chu Liuxiang, "..."

Ding Feng was listening to their flirting and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jin, you don't seem to be worried at all?"

"What are you worried about?" Jin Banhua raised her eyebrows at Ding Feng. "We are on this one boat, and I am a VIP of that brothel. No matter how hard the murderer tries, he can't get me. What should I worry about?"

Now Ding Feng had nothing to say.

There's really not much to say about a dude who has mysterious self-confidence and doesn't worry about anything.

There was a hint of a sinister smile in Ding Feng's eyes. He really wanted to see how ugly he would be when he discovered the truth. Although he couldn't see it, it was interesting to think about it.

Seeing Jin Banhua's appearance, Chu Liuxiang frowned slightly.

Jin Banhua had the leisure to watch the fun, but he didn't have the leisure to continue playing with Ding Feng. So while questioning Ding Feng's deliberate persuasion of Hu Tiehua and Jin Lingzhi to drink, he asked Zhang San to take out the bag containing the blood-stained gown.

Ding Feng looked at the bundle and fell silent.

When Jin Lingzhi saw the bundle, he drank even faster.

When Captain Gou saw the bundle, his eyes flickered and he exchanged a subtle glance with Ding Feng.

So Ding Feng deliberately framed Gou Zichang in the end, but in fact he reduced his suspicion and then died of "poisoning".

He deliberately poisoned his wine glass, drank the wine, and disguised it as if he had been murdered, faking his death and escaping.

Before he died, he begged Chu Liuxiang to bring back his body, which was actually asking Chu Liuxiang not to bury his "body" at sea so that he would have enough time to "resurrect".

……

Ding Feng died, Hu Tiehua fell first, and Hua Zhenzhen won.

Hua Zhenzhen helped Jin Lingzhi go back to rest first. Chu Liuxiang put Ding Feng's body into a coffin and pulled Jin Banhua back to their cabin.

"What's going on?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

"What's going on?" Jin Banhua asked.

"Brother Jin has been confident all along, and he has been watching from the sidelines. He must have gained something, so why would he hide it from us?" Chu Liuxiang said with a wry smile, "Ding Feng is obviously the most suspicious, so why did he suddenly die?"

"Didn't you see?" Jin Banhua asked.

Chu Liuxiang frowned, "What did Brother Jin see?"

Jin Banhua's ears moved, and he knocked on the cabin lightly, and said with a leisurely smile, "Since you have already determined that Ding Feng is the murderer, then Ding Feng is naturally the murderer. In this case, what is the only way for him to escape suspicion?"

Jin Banhua pointed at him, and Chu Liuxiang's eyes lit up instantly, "The only way for him to escape suspicion is to die!"

Zhang San blinked, not understanding. "He's dead, how can he escape suspicion?"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head, having figured everything out. "Of course he is not really dead, but there are many ways to fake his death."

This time Zhang San also understood, "He faked his death? How could he hide it from you?"

"Of course, the usual methods can't be hidden from me, but whether it's Western Cardamom or Escape Wine, they are both the world's top death-faking drugs, and I can't find them." Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly, "Bat Island has great magical powers, so it's not surprising that they can get these drugs."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Jieyu came and knocked on the door. He first looked at Jin Banhua with gratitude, and then told Chu Liuxiang the purpose of his trip, which was to find Hook Chief.

At this point, Bai Zhuzhu also hurried over and said that when he went to get sobering soup for Jin Lingzhi, he found that all the sailors on the ship were dead and Captain Hook was missing.

Hu Tiehua also woke up at this time. When he heard that Gou Zichang was missing, he pulled Gongsun Jieyu and said that he was the murderer, because Gou Zichang had told Hu Tiehua that he was a constable from the capital to investigate the murder case in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the murderer was Gongsun Jieyu and Bai Zhuzhu.

It was not until this time that Gongsun Jieyu revealed his identity. It was Ying Wanli and Bai Lie who said that Gou Zichang was the murderer in the Kaifeng Prefecture case.

Then everything became clear.

The murderer was Ding Feng, and Gou Zichang was his accomplice. After killing Hai Kuotian and Xiang Tianfei, he was first betrayed by Jin Lingzhi and handed over the evidence. Later, Chu Liuxiang saw through the flaw and had to fake his death to escape.
