I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 225: Conspiracy shrouded
  Willow's eyebrows are curved, her lips are red and her teeth are white.

Coupled with that melancholy and weak expression, if it weren't for the green and white Taoist uniform, Cao An would have thought she was a rich girl, with a melancholy temperament that was palpable.

The first time she took a boat ride, she looked around nervously, as if a rat passing by would startle her.

And now, this is the murderer who is confessing himself in front of Cao An?

"Ahem, what do you call this girl?"

"My name is Wen Fufu." The Taoist woman pursed her lips and said somewhat dejectedly: "I am indeed an unlucky guy. This time I have brought trouble to everyone."

"Huh? You..."

Cao An thought he was smart, but he seemed to be unable to keep up with the rhythm.

"Miss Wen, what we are talking about is that there was a big hole in the bottom of the boat, and seawater poured into the boat."

"It's very dangerous, yes, I did it."

"Did you really do it? How did you do it?"

"I'm unlucky."

"..."

Several people around him were confused, and Cao An also worked very hard to understand the other party's argument.

"What you mean is that because you were unlucky, everyone was unlucky as well, so the big hole in the bottom of the boat was broken. Is it your responsibility?"

"Yes." Wen Fufu showed the compass in her hand to Cao An.

But I also have to understand it!

"What does this mean?"

"I've been in a bad situation recently. I shouldn't have gone out, but I had to come here because of my master's orders. The holy ship must have leaked due to my influence."

The destiny is very bad, and this destiny sounds a bit strange.

If you guessed it correctly, this should be a composite version of 'Tiansha Lone Star' and 'Unlucky Man'.

There are three days of major disasters, two days of minor disasters, and no holidays, so the arrangement is clear.

Moreover, this kind of evil will only cause bad luck but not death. At most, the ship will sink and everyone will swim back.

Wen Fufu grimaced: "I'm just telling you, don't let me get on the boat, it's too dangerous."

Cao An looked at the person in front of him and didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

So what she said before boarding the boat, "This boat looks so dangerous," was completely literal? The kind that is about to be disintegrated and sunk by her unlucky physique?
  Are you too confident in your destiny?

Cao An shook his head amusedly: "Someone took advantage of the leakage in the hull and sneaked in. So this accident should be man-made and has nothing to do with you."

"Really? It's none of my business?" Wen Fufu looked at the harmlessness of humans and animals and looked at everyone expectantly.

It was also at this time that someone came to help her out.

"Mr. Cao, when the water leaked from the bottom of the boat, Miss Wen was holding a golden toad and standing on the west side of the deck. Thinking about it, she should not be able to commit the crime."

With a charming tone and enchanting figure, Su Se appeared again twisting her small waist.

Didn’t this person leave just now? Why did it suddenly appear again?

And as a disciple of the Demon Sect, he actually helped the Taoist monks to speak? The sun comes out in the west?
  As for what she said, it was true.

According to Wen Fufu’s prediction, there will be a [big disaster] in the near future.

So she held the golden toad and prepared to stand on the west side of the ship for a day, hoping to resolve the bad luck.
  Obviously, it didn't have much effect, and the strange behavior attracted a lot of attention, as everyone can testify.

But after hearing this, Wen Fufu took two steps back warily, held the compass to her chest, pursed her lips, and stared at the other party with suspicious eyes.

"Susese, how do you know I'm always there? Have you run into my shadow again?"

"What's Su Se, my name is Su Se, don't keep adding superpositions to my name!"

The woman, who looked like a snake, followed her enchantingly. Regardless of Wen Fufu's refusal, she just took the other person's arm and said affectionately:
  "Fufu, we are old acquaintances. How could I harm you? Don't listen to the whispers of your unlucky senior brothers. Your fate is not that serious."

"Really?"

"Of course, if your sect dislikes you, why don't you come with me? We'll have a lot of fun."

"Tch, you think I'm stupid, my master loves me very much, I won't let you lie to me, please let me go."

"Hold on, little Fufu, be good and go back with your sister?"

"Don't go!"

"..."

A witch and a Taoist woman. Good and evil, black and white, the two beauties were entangled together at this moment. It was really pleasing to the eye, and many men around them looked over.

Of course Cao An will not let this scenery go.

But there was a flash of light in his eyes, as if he had grasped some important points.

"Miss Su, can we talk about it?" Cao An decided to test his doubts and took the initiative to invite Su Se.

Su Se seemed to think that he was a hero saving the beauty, so he reluctantly gave up his entanglement with Wen Fufu and returned to his lazy appearance.

"I heard that Cao Shuixiu of the Daxing Dynasty was a god in solving cases. Could it be that he was suspicious of a little girl like me? I was hiding in other people's shadows and sneaking into the boat. I didn't take that waterway."

"It's precisely because you can hide in the shadows that you are even more suspicious!"

Cao An did not shy away from it and said bluntly: "It is too difficult to use corrosive poisons underwater. My preference is that someone poisoned the ship from the inside and eroded the bottom of the ship. You are the most suspect."

No trace of sawdust was found, and Cao An preferred to commit the crime by direct corrosion.

Suther is a master of poisoning and can hide in the shadows, making him the best person to commit crimes.

Hearing this suspicion, Suther couldn't help but snorted: "The so-called detective is nothing more than that. Why should I do that?"

"Of course it's to support my companions! Doesn't that count as a motive?"

"It's a joke. Who cares about that broken summons?"

Judging from this person’s disdainful tone, it seems that she has an unusual status!

But Cao An refused to give up: "Even if you are not helping your companions, you may be planning to sink this ship."

"Sink this ship! Why would I do that?"

"I don't know about this, so I'm just suspicious now. First mate, please help me arrange for someone to keep an eye on her."

"Yes!"

The crew members beside him responded in unison, looking directly at Suther, which made the man angry.

If she had known earlier, she should not have come forward to clarify the matter to Wen Fufu. She did not expect that it would involve herself.

Now she's in trouble. With so many crew members watching, it will be even more difficult for her to do bad things.

For such a good opportunity, I really feel sorry for myself if I don’t get a lot of money!

With a strong heart, Suther simply showed off his cards: "You want to know how the other party broke open the bottom of the boat, right?"

"Yes, you know?"

"I know, not long ago I sold a hidden weapon, which was specially used to deal with the holy ship."

Supervisor:? ? ?
  Suther was thick-skinned, and despite the hostile looks of the crew, he said with a broken voice:
  "Who asked you to boast that this ship is the best in the world, so I invented a hidden weapon to deal with it. Someone contacted me not long ago, so I just sold it.

"Now, this is the thing. I made another one when I was bored and gave it to you."

Su Se was really covered in poisonous hidden weapons. He took it out casually and stuffed a bamboo tube-shaped thing into Cao An.

One end was blocked and the other was sealed with water cloth.

With a twist of the handle, an arrow will be pierced into the wooden board, and the violent poison contained in it will be injected directly into the wooden board through the inside of the hollow arrow.

This design is really ingenious!

Not only does it prevent the venom from diluting after entering the water, it can also drive the venom directly into the ship's deck. The effect is far more violent than spreading it on the surface.

"But can this thing really break through our holy ship?" Jian Zheng was a little disbelieving. He took the hidden weapon and started playing with it, as if he was ready to find a place to try it.

On the other hand, Cao An didn't even glance at the hidden weapon. Instead, he stared at Su Se's leaving figure, thoughtfully.

"We're in big trouble."

"What? Are you talking about this hidden weapon?"

"No, the hidden weapon itself is not worth mentioning. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

Cao An sent a mission inquiry to the system again, but still found no answer to the mystery.

It wouldn't be what he thought.

Cao An hesitated a little and turned to look at Jian Zheng: "You have to be more vigilant in the past few days. I am afraid there may be danger on the ship."

"What danger? Someone really wants to scuttle this ship?"

"No, that's just the beginning."
