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

Chapter 229 Jishihui and Sanying Studio

Jishihui.

A non-governmental organization that once aimed to help the world by hanging pots has gradually evolved into a gathering place for special talents.

Its reputation is so great that it can compete with other great sects, which is very impressive.

This time, there were three members of the Jishihui on board the ship.

Wang Jiang is good at distinguishing corpses and corpse poisons, Judge Lu is responsible for investigating and solving cases, and the slovenly Qiao Shigong likes to study all kinds of strange weapons.

The three of them were relatively well-known in the Jishi Association. They met by chance on the boat and naturally had a great conversation.

When this happened, Judge Lu of Jishihui naturally did his part and prepared to work with fellow Taoists to catch the murderer.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Shigong was also involved in the case.

"Brother Qiao? You did leave for a while last night. What happened?" Judge Lu frowned slightly and looked at him.

Qiao Shigong was also very angry when he was suddenly identified by this witch. He could only sigh and tell the truth:

"Indeed, I set a fire nearby last night, but it's not a big deal!"

"It's not a big deal? Then why did you set fire to it? What you burned was [March Red]?"

"I...I don't know how to explain it, but I really didn't kill Mr. Mo. I have no enmity with him. Why should I kill him?"

Mr. Mo, the nominal captain of the holy ship.

But he likes to call himself a leader, and enthusiastically sends a group of talents to the Holy Land of the Demon Clan every year.

In everyone's opinion, Mr. Mo is a good old man.

First of all, he did not ask for anything in return and gave young people trials and opportunities.

Secondly, even if you don’t go after receiving the ferry ticket, you can still sell it to support your family.

From this perspective, everyone respects Mr. Mo and indeed has no motive to kill him.

But in the middle of the night, lighting [March Red] under someone else's window sill, doesn't it make sense?

[March Red] is a poison that can calm the nerves if taken in small amounts, but can cause paralysis or even death if taken in large amounts.

Lit into smoke...

"The toxicity is not strong, but the smell is long-lasting and difficult to disperse. It can be used as a catalyst for certain poisons and poisonous insects!" Suther was very professional and gave the poisonous effect of [March Red].

As expected of a demon witch, she could tell the type of poison just by smelling it.

If Qiao Shigong didn't give an explanation, he might not be able to uncover this matter.

"Explain? Why do I need to explain? I just lit some poisonous smoke. This woman's hidden arrow was the murder weapon that killed Mr. Mo. She should be the one to explain."

No matter how strange Qiao Shigong's behavior was, he was just hanging around in the periphery. There was no evidence that he had ever entered the captain's cabin.

Suther, on the other hand, also didn't sleep all night. She claimed to be picking locks and stealing everywhere, which was very suspicious.

"Wow~~ You must be sick. I even admitted to burglarizing a house, but you don't believe it!" Suther felt very angry.

These days, no one believes even a confession? Is there any justice?

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that your arrow is too suspicious." Judge Lu didn't want to accuse Su Se unfairly, but the arrow had a strange shape and was definitely carefully designed.

When Ying Huorong came from the house, he brought the released arrowhead for comparison.

Coincidentally, the two were exactly the same, and the murder weapon that killed Mr. Mo was the so-called sleeve cannon.

"But even if it's a [Sleeve Cannon], it doesn't prove that I fired it! I already told you that someone bought one from me."

"Who is the other party?"

"Who knows? If you want to check, just get off the boat and go to [Three Shadows Studio] to check." Su Se tried his best to quibble.

But as she spoke, her voice became lower and lower, and it was obvious that she felt guilty.

"Miss Su, if you really took the job in [Three Film Studio], then I would have to doubt you." Judge Lu stared at Su Se, wary.

The Three Photography Studio is not a good place. Killing people and selling goods is clearly marked with a price.

You said you received orders for concealed weapons from there?
  Is it doubtful that you also accepted the order to assassinate Mr. Mo? At this moment, everyone's eyes, including Lu Pian and Wang Jiang, became wary. The witch from the Demon Sect is indeed untrustworthy.

Being suspected by everyone, Su Se also had troubles that he couldn't tell.

There was nothing she could do about it. Her reputation was so bad that no one believed her. However, the hidden weapon that killed people was still made by her.

It's such a big day, the buyer buys a concealed weapon to kill someone, and the seller happens to be at the scene. Is this too much of a coincidence?

Feeling countless hostility, Su Se also gave up: "Mr. Cao, tell me! Aren't you an expert in solving cases? Are you just looking at this little girl being wronged like this?"

Pretending to be pitiful and coquettish should be her last resort.

It's a pity that Cao An doesn't accept this trick!
  He turned to look at Mr. Mo, who was still staring blankly, and then at Su Se: "You? Little girl? Ha, do you believe me when I say I'm a virgin?"

"letter!"

"..."

Cao An rolled his eyes silently, and he said such nonsense.

Too lazy to pay attention to the messy scene, Cao An kept looking out the window.

The window in the captain's cabin was sealed from the inside, and there were no signs of damage.

Arrows can't shoot in, and it's even less possible for people to get in and out from here. However, the gaps between the windows have been ventilated. If Qiao Shigong burned poisonous smoke below last night, it is indeed possible for it to drift into the house.

But this level of poisonous smoke cannot be poisoned by an eighth-grade warrior, let alone a prisoner.

According to the guards, someone did set a fire at midnight last night, but it was quickly extinguished without causing any noise.

So, what is the use of lighting a fire in the middle of the night?
  When First Officer Zhou saw him looking out, he couldn't help but walked over and asked, "Mr. Cao, do you have any doubts about this case?"

Cao An looked back at him strangely: "Of course there are doubts! Isn't this just the beginning? The murderer will not be found out so quickly. If you are in a hurry, you can wait a little longer."

This group of people watching the show don't understand how troublesome it is to investigate the case. Every corner must not be left behind to investigate.

Look at the sky. It's raining intermittently, and it may wash away the evidence at any time. He must seize the time now and take a look at the surrounding situation first.

However, although everyone understands the principle of urgent investigation, the problem is...

"Hasn't the murderer been found? Detective Lu has already found Su Se. Detective Cao, what are you thinking about?"

Among the onlookers, there were many who spoke in eccentric ways. They thought that their Dongzhou had many secrets, so they were probably better than the Daxing Dynasty's catchers.

Taking advantage of the situation, he made a mockery, which was considered to increase Dongzhou's face.

But Cao An just glanced at the other party indifferently, then turned to look at Judge Lu: "Do you think Su Se is the murderer?"

"Um, this matter is still under investigation and we can't confirm it yet." Judge Lu was shocked when Cao An glanced at him.

As expected, he was a man of good reputation, and Cao An's confident gaze put a lot of pressure on people.

Cao An nodded: "Fortunately, you didn't make a judgment directly, otherwise I would have asked someone to drive you out, saying Su Se is the murderer? Isn't that pure nonsense?"

As he said that, he turned his head and continued to inspect the scene.

Such a decisive answer made Suther overjoyed, and he rushed over and hugged his arm.

"Mr. Cao, you are truly the best detective in the world. If you can prove my innocence, I am willing to give you my life."

"Come on, if I believe your nonsense, I might as well believe the potted plant in my house."

"Pot, potted plant?"

"Oh, I can't explain it clearly. I probably have a clue about this case."

"Really?" Suther's eyes filled with the expectation of a fangirl.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and go get Bu Yesheng and Wen Fufu for me. First Officer Zhou, please count everyone's movements last night, especially those from Zi Shi to Yin Shi."

"Zi Shi to Yin Shi? At this time, everyone is sleeping, right?"

"Don't worry, just help me with the statistics. The key to this case is that it is not proved here."
