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

Chapter 234 [Seven Sound Box]

Boom!Boom!Boom!
  The dull drum sound is like thunder on a dry day, exploding on the sea, in harmony with the violent wind and waves.

The sails flew to the beat of the drums.

This is not a signal to break the waves and lead the way, but it means that the holy ship has entered the highest alert state, with layers of golden brilliance rippling on the hull.

In the distance, in the Bailang Army's fleet, General Wan stood on the bow, looking at the holy ship with a deep look.

"Sure enough, something happened. It was just a suspension of sailings just now, but now it has become the highest alert. It seems that Cao An has found something remarkable."

"General, do our fleets need to move over?"

"No need for the moment, but the artillery is ready and waiting for the signal."

……

The Holy Ship, known as the invincible big thing on the sea, is driven by free formations and never needs to sail forward.

Pulling up the sails at this moment means entering the most dangerous moment. The ships following behind are on guard, and their solemn breaths are like dark clouds in the sky, making everyone breathless.

At the same time, the atmosphere on the holy ship also dropped to freezing point.

The last sentence left by Cao An named Lu Pan and his accomplices, and they were among them.

The teacher was betrayed and exploited when he came from the same family, not to mention meeting by chance, wariness and suspicion began to spread on the deck.

Qiao Shigong rubbed his messy hair. He felt that this matter was too strange. He couldn't help but walked up to Chief Zhou and asked:

"Mr. Mo is dead. You should be the highest-ranking person on this ship, right? Do you believe in Cao An so much?"

First Officer Zhou stood solemnly, holding a sword in his hand, and glanced at him: "What if, do I believe you?"

"I..." Qiao Shigong opened his mouth, but couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

Admittedly, if anyone in the audience really wants to say who is completely trustworthy, they really can’t pick one.

But can Cao An trust him 100%? Who is that person, and why did the entire ship obey his orders after Mr. Mo died?

In this regard, Deputy Zhou did not explain much.

Very few people knew about the situation in Mo Ren Lane. It happened that Mr. Mo had told him that Cao An relied on his ability to find out their details, so he could be trusted for the time being.

If something unexpected happens, you can ask Cao An for help.

It was this instruction that gave Cao An an opportunity to be one step ahead of the enemy and take the lead in attacking.

……

In the captain's cabin, Cao An's face was frosty, and he looked at Pan Lu as if he was looking at a dead man.

"Your lies are too clumsy. As the speaker, although you can know the details of the whole case, this mission cannot be assigned by you because you don't have the ability."

Cao An walked to the Taishi's chair and picked up a splintered wooden handle.

The patterns are complex and changeable, and they are by no means ordinary items sold on the street.

"From the room layout in the captain's cabin to this strange-patterned imperial chair, and finally Mr. Mo's daily routine, at least a huge intelligence network and several investigations are needed.

“And you’ve only been here for the first time.

"Obviously, you are just a link in the murder case, clumsily acting according to the script, full of loopholes.

"What's more, you are just a rookie in Jishi Society. How can He De invite Wen Fufu to come on board? Don't tell me that Daomen also went to [Three Shadows Tower] to take over your mission?"

Cao An's words undoubtedly completely shattered Lu Pian's lie just now.

The most critical factor in the success of this murder case was Wen Fufu.

It was the fate of that woman that restrained the Holy Ship, which caused so many troubles in the future, and the Taoist sect behind it could not obey Lu Judgment's orders.

This man is just a puppet who has been pushed onto the stage.

Just make up a reason for killing, hoping to save your life temporarily, and then seek help from your companions to escape. It's a pity that Cao An didn't give him this chance at all.

Lu Pan fell to the ground, crying and shouting: "Please be merciful and spare me. I really can't say it! They will kill me!"

"Heh, you sound like you can live without talking."

Cao An showed a sneer, walked to Mr. Mo's body, squatted down, and said to himself:
  “The biggest doubt in this case is the motive for the murder.

"You must have a reason to kill people. You have put so much effort into putting up such a big show, probably for profit.

"But how can you profit from killing Mr. Mo?
  "I considered many possibilities, and finally I felt that you were seeking the treasures on the holy ship, right?"

Cao An said, gently tapping his finger on Mr. Mo's eyebrows.

He had already used [Please leave a last message] once during the autopsy. He clicked it again just to confirm the message.

Mr. Mo and Cao An have known each other for a long time. He is very aware of Cao An's ability to speak for the dead, so he will definitely leave clues for himself before he dies.

For example, these last words: "Asshole! They want the [Seven Sound Box], we can't let them succeed!"

This simple sentence was conveyed to Cao An very clearly. It seemed that this was not the first day of confrontation between Mr. Mo and this group of people.

But Cao An didn't know what this [Seven Sound Box] was, but he thought it was a secret treasure hidden on the ship.

However, this also confirms that the other party is not a person with ten eyes, otherwise they should be seeking the "Tenth Generation Canghui Sutra" instead of the "Seven Sound Box".

"You want to get the treasure, but you are afraid of Mr. Mo's power, so you want to strike first.

"According to your plan, after killing Mr. Mo, you will then frame Su Se to create the illusion that it is safe, and then continue to urge Mate Zhou to sail the ship.

"And without Mr. Mo's holy ship, its power will be reduced by at least half. With Wen Fufu's bad luck, you may even be able to seize the ship.

"No matter what happens, we can sink it in the minefield and seize the treasures on the ship. My guess is correct."

Cao An looked at the frightened Lu Pan, and it seemed that his deduction was quite accurate.

The most important thing now is the manipulator behind the scenes.

Judge Lu looked hesitant, his eyes flickering, as if he was considering how to tell another lie?

But you look down on me too much, right?

Without the need for this person to speak, Cao An had already taken out a small bottle from his arms and placed it on the table.

"This is a healing pill. If you take it, you will at least have a chance to swim ashore alive."

"Swim, swim ashore?" Judge Lu asked in horror, "You want to throw me into the sea?"

"No, no, no, how could I be so cruel? It's your companions who just want to feed you to the fishes."

Cao An leaned against the desk with a sinister sarcasm on his face, as if waiting to see his wail before death.

Soon, there was a noise outside the door, accompanied by the feeling of the ship's hull shaking slightly.

Judge Lu's face, which had already lost a lot of blood, turned even paler now. He finally understood Cao An's plan: "You are deliberately tempting my companions and forcing them to attack in advance!"

"That's right." Cao An replied without hesitation: "Your testimony is actually not important. I just need to lock you in, and your companions will naturally be anxious."

Cao An walked to the window sill. The deck was already in chaos.

"Your companions will not bet on your loyalty, let alone care about your life.

"They will launch an attack in advance and sink the entire holy ship before you give out the list.

"So, do you want to use your last bit of value in exchange for this bottle of elixir? Or drag your injured leg and jump directly into the sea?"

Cao An smiled and said the cruelest words, like a devil, making people feel frightened but unable to refuse.
