The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 169 Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts

"graft!"

Hearing that everyone had determined the origin of the martial arts, Gao Yanan's eyes widened and he turned to look around. Liu Xinying was naturally not there.

"Li Chaofeng! It must be Li Chaofeng who killed the master. In the entire Huashan, Liu Xinying is the only one who knows how to transfer flowers and trees, and Liu Xinying's martial arts was taught by Li Chaofeng!"

Hu Tiehua was silent. Li Chaofeng could kill even Shangguan Jinhong, so naturally he could kill Ku Mei.

But what about motivation?

Li Chaofeng must have a motive if he wants to kill Ku Mei.

After Hua Zhenzhen woke up, she also found that she was unconscious in Master Kumei's room.

At this time, the room was full of life and death. Hua Zhenzhen didn't dare to say anything, so he could only pretend to be confused.

But now that the murderer actually fell on Li Chaofeng, she was no longer silent and shook her head in denial.

"Impossible, Mr. Li can't be the murderer!"

Gao Yanan glared at Hua Zhenzhen: "How is it impossible? When we passed by Shuiyunjian, Li Chaofeng had nothing to do, but in the end he followed us for nothing."

Hu Tiehua quickly interrupted: "Yanan, don't talk nonsense, the snake kid came with us. The sea is so vast, who would know you are on this island!"

Gao Yanan said angrily: "So the person who killed Master is a ghost?"

Chu Liuxiang coughed twice quickly: "We all know that Mr. Li and Miss Liu left the village. Why wait until we are all together before taking action? This is not asking for trouble."

Gao Yanan was angry: "Apart from the two of them, who else on this island knows how to transplant flowers and trees, and who can kill the master!"

"Master must have said something outrageous to Li Chaofeng, which made him get angry and attack!"

Zhang San also smiled and nodded: "Well, Master Kumei should have died not long ago. A group of us were all gathered together just now. Apart from Li Chaofeng and a few Huashan disciples, I'm afraid there are no other murderers."

Hu Tiehua shook his head: "Snake Kid has excellent martial arts skills and a deep mind. If he really did it, he would never leave such obvious clues?"

"Rather than believe he is the murderer, I believe he was framed."

Yuan Suiyun also shook his head: "How can a murderer do things based on common sense? Maybe he just did it out of anger and had no plan at all."

Zhang San smiled and nodded with emotion on his face.

"Yes, Mr. Yuanlong is mostly arrogant and domineering in the rumors. Maybe when he comes back, he will take out his dragon teeth and tell us that he was the one who killed us."

Zhang San looked at Chu and Hu with a joking expression: "Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua, you two trust that brat too much."

Hearing that both Zhang San and Yuan Suiyun began to agree with Gao Yanan, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua looked at each other, frowning and saying nothing.

As Li Chaofeng and Liu Xinying returned to the fishing village, everyone looked over.

When Liu Xinying saw the "corpse" of Kumei, she also asked with concern and doubts on her face.

"Zhenzhen, what happened? How could the leader do this?"

Hua Zhenzhen just lowered his head, clenched his fists, and shook his head slightly, making a sound like a mosquito or a fly.

"Senior sister, I don't know."

Gao Yanan also asked when he saw Liu Xinying coming back.

"Junior sister Liu, you two came back in time. May I ask, where did you two go just now?"

Liu Xinying was not a soft-tempered person like Hua Zhenzhen. When she saw Gao Yanan's demeanor, Liu Xinying raised her eyebrows and asked directly.

"Senior Sister Gao's attitude, why do you suspect that I am the murderer?"

When Yuan Suiyun heard Liu Xinying point out the key point as soon as she appeared, she interrupted with a smile and smoothly explained for Gao Yanan.

"Master Kumei wanted to see the guests alone and rejected Miss Gao and Miss Hua. This gave the murderer the opportunity to commit the crime."

"We were all gathered together at that time, and only Mr. Li and Miss Liu were not there. Is that why Miss Gao had this doubt?"

Liu Xinying looked around and looked at Gao Yanan with a little contempt in her eyes, but she still answered.

"That's an interesting thing to say. We all got together and didn't have time to kill, so my husband and I became the murderers?"

"Are we, as a couple, stupid? Even if we want to harm others, why don't we choose another time to do it?"

Yuan Suiyun was silent, but quickly shook his head and explained with a gentle face.

"We are also quite puzzled by this matter. As for the truth, naturally no one knows."

After hearing this, Chu Liuxiang touched his nose. He knew that there were many people on this island, but it was hard to tell clearly.

After all, detectives always collect clues and solve cases.

Li Chaofeng looked at Ku Mei's "corpse" with curiosity. He didn’t expect that Ku Mei would still “die” after he saved the “assassin”.

suspended animation.

And judging from everyone's expressions, he was directly framed.

Shen Qi Ying Wanli looked at Li Chaofeng with a hint of teasing in his eyes, but he narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Have Mr. Yuanlong been staying with Miss Liu since he went out?"

Li Chaofeng also nodded to Ying Wanli: "This is natural. This place is remote and uninhabited. Separation will only increase the danger."

Ying Wanli nodded, then looked at Gao Yanan and asked.

"Gao Nuxia, Master Kumei just wanted to receive one guest, or two."

Gao Yanan's face froze, Hua Zhenzhen had already answered.

"Listen to the footsteps, there is only one person, but there is no distinction between male and female."

Gao Yanan interrupted: "Master Yuanlong can come and go freely in the Money Gang, but Junior Sister Hua and I may not be able to hear his footsteps clearly."

"Furthermore, the martial arts of grafting flowers and grafting trees is already rare. Who on this island knows it?"

Hu Tiehua looked at Jin Lingzhi next to her, but also reminded her: "There are people who know the thirteen Qingfeng postures, so how come no one knows how to do it!"

As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.

Liu Xinying was right, even if Li Chaofeng wanted to kill someone, he didn't need to get them together to do it.

"Moving flowers and grafting trees" is not "transferring flowers and grafting jade". As long as your internal strength is strong enough, it is not difficult to force the opponent's moves back.

The only difficulty is that your chi needs to be stronger than the dry plum.

To kill Kumei by "replacing flowers with trees", you can only seduce the opponent to kill first, and then get close and sneak attack.

After everyone's discussion, they decided to give Master Kumei a water burial.

Buried in water on the island. Li Chaofeng looked at Chu Liuxiang, then blinked, and spoke as a reminder regardless of the fact that he was still one of the murderers.

"Didn't you come in a coffin?"

"Even if you can't carry the coffin back to the mountain, there is no need for a water burial."

"This island is quite remote. If Master Kumei is buried here, no one will disturb him."

"If we can come again, we can move the coffin back to the Central Plains for burial in the future."

What Li Chaofeng said made sense, Chu Liuxiang and others nodded in approval, but Gao Yanan quickly stopped him.

"no!"

"?"

Everyone looked at Gao Yanan in confusion, but her face stiffened. Because of the water burial, Ku Mei had said the reason, but not the excuse.

When Liu Xinying saw Gao Yanan not answering, she started to explain.

"Before the leader came down from the mountain, he had a premonition that this trip would be full of twists and turns. He had already told her that if she died at sea, she would not need to be cremated, but would be buried in water."

When Gao Yanan heard that Liu Xinying actually gave the answer, his eyes widened and he looked at Liu Xinying.

Hua Zhenzhen looked at Liu Xinying with confusion, and soon fell silent.

Chu Liuxiang also glanced at Liu Xinying, and began to think about something in her heart.

Yuan Suiyun sighed at this time: "I think Master Kumei is a monk. He has long been pessimistic about worldly affairs. He must have thought that if he was in trouble, he would die."

"Cremation requires firewood, and burial takes up land. The sea is vast, so water burial is also economical."

"Master is truly a virtuous man."

Li Chaofeng looked at the panic in Gao Yanan's eyes and squeezed out a smile.

"Since Master Kumei has given an explanation, I naturally have nothing to say."

As the "corpse" of Dry Plum was restrained by Gao Yanan, the water burial soon began and ended quickly.

The "corpse" completely sank into the seabed. Li Chaofeng looked at Liu Xinying's back, silently.

Everyone has their own secret.
