That is, according to his and Jia Ji's deduction, the person who killed Tan Wenxuan and Le Zhihe must be among the three chief mates. Because, only they can get the ultimate poison that can kill a master like Tan Wenxuan, and only they can poison Tan Wenxuan when he is defenseless.
The three of them are the highest-cultivated people on the ship. Jia Ji, his biggest reliance now, is not the opponent of any of them.
Because of their identities, even if Li Huaide and Jia Ji wanted to find out the real culprit, they were tied up.
And the murderer did such a thing, I'm afraid he won't stop there, there will be more terrifying methods to deal with other people on board.
The murderer made a gesture of wanting to die with the people on board, but Li Huaide and Jia Ji immediately denied this possibility.
In their view, the murderer was probably already prepared to get away. It is very likely that the murderer has defected to other sects, and this Xingcha is the gift of the murderer. If you think about it this way, either other sects already have Xingcha in front of them, or there are masters from other sects lurking on the boat who can control Xingcha.
No matter which possibility is, it is fatal to Ji Ergong.
Others might surrender, but he couldn't, and no one would believe him if he surrendered. With his Gold Core level cultivation base, I'm afraid no one else will look down on him. Most likely, he became something for the traitor to prove his loyalty to.
For a disciple of the Fushan Sect to surrender to another sect, nothing can show his loyalty more than stabbing Sect Master Ji's beloved son.
Participating in the killing of the Second Young Master gave him great courage, so he would not dare to return to the Fushan Sect.
In their view, the first officer was the most likely murderer. Because he met all the conditions, even without the help of others, he could drive Xingcha to join his faction.
After hearing this, Yu Qingyao couldn't help but her little face turned pale with fright, and said in her heart: Holding the grass, my sister is really on a thief ship. If I had known this, I would never get on this ghost ship.
This is how to do
My sister doesn't want to die, let alone die with these guys.
Looking at it like this, Mr. Ji is unreliable, and he can't protect himself. Since the murderer killed Tan Wenxuan, he would not let Mr. Ji live. I'm afraid the next target is him.
My sister has to find a way to save herself.
Relying on my force is definitely not enough. Apart from Mr. Ji, I am afraid that anyone on this boat can handle me.
However, my sister is a beautiful woman, so I don't need to do it myself. I'll have to find another golden thigh.
She carefully looked at the people present, looking for reliable targets.
Li Huaide, on the other hand, is observing who is the real culprit.
There was a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. He knew that at such a critical moment, his status as the second son of Ji could only play a limited role. The most reliable is actually its own force.
If he is an immortal now, he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, just use the mentality of watching tricks, and see what tricks these people can play.
Because, he can wipe out these people with a single stroke of his hand, and by then, no matter what conspiracy they have, it will be over.
However, he is not a fairy.
Now he can only use his current status as much as possible to influence the thoughts of several big shots.
Although he is not afraid of death, he can't die now, he can't bear his junior sister falling into the hands of people with ulterior motives.
After falling in love with someone, a man will become timid and shrink back. On the contrary, women will become bold and willful to do many things that they never dared to do before.
First officer Zhou Wen came over and said to the young master: "Young master, the whole ship has been sealed off, and no one is allowed to move without my order."
The second officer, Wang Yue, came over and said, "My lord, I just checked the surveillance. The three of us were the ones who visited the captain's room yesterday."
Everyone stared at the three of them in silence.
Facing everyone's gaze calmly, Wang Yue said: "After Ms. Yu left, Le Zhihe went back to the residence, and only one person went in after that. I have sent someone to invite him here."
Just as he was talking, one of Wang Yue's subordinates hurried over and reported, "My lord, Liu He is dead."
Liu He is the one most likely to poison Lezhihe to death.
Wang Yue was taken aback and asked, "What happened? Who killed it?"
The subordinate replied nervously: "I don't know, I don't know. When I went, I found that he had been poisoned and died, and his soul disappeared. There were no traces of fighting at the scene. I suspect that he committed suicide."
Yu Qingyao couldn't help interjecting: "What suicide, I think it was murdered."
When everyone heard the words, they all looked at her.
Yu Qingyao felt a slip of the tongue, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I just guessed."
Well, she has always liked to hide behind men, and she doesn't like to show her intelligence in front of a large number of high-ranking and powerful men.
Jia Ji said thoughtfully: "It makes sense! In this world, there are still many spells or prohibitions that can control subordinates to commit suicide afterwards."
Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and then couldn't help being annoyed.
Although the murderer is dead, there is obviously someone behind the scenes.
The man was probably hiding among them.
Suspicion arises in everyone's heart.
The third officer, Zhao Zhi, said at this time: "I have ordered the firepower compartment to be strictly guarded. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."
Zhou Wen glanced at the crowd, and then turned his eyes around Wang Yue and Zhao Zhi.
What both Jia Ji and Li Huaide knew, the three of them knew it well.
Zhou Wen was sure that he did not harm Tan Wenxuan. He came here to assist and monitor Tan Wenxuan under the order of the suzerain.
Although Ji Zongzhu trusted Tan Wenxuan, Xingcha's affairs were of great importance and no loss could be tolerated. To be on the safe side, he still sent Zhou Wen aboard.
Zhou Wen's role on the ship was to act as a check and balance to prevent Xingcha from becoming Tan Wenxuan's private army.
The second officer and the third officer actually have the same meaning. They are called assistants, but they are actually decentralization.
Zhou Wen couldn't deduce whether Wang Yue or Zhao Zhi was a traitor.
He intended to make a quick decision and imprison both of them, but their status was similar, and he did not have the power to imprison Wang Yue and Wang Yue.
If Mr. Ji was not around, he would act in a hurry and take down the two of them in a sudden surprise attack. He would still have something to say when he met the suzerain.
As long as things are done right and Xingcha is kept, the suzerain will only reward but not punish.
However, now that Mr. Ji is here, if one mistake makes the murderer fight back while dying, and Mr. Ji is dead, then it will be difficult.
The strength difference between the three of them is not very big. This is quite possible.
They have the ability to cross rivers and seas.
In such a small room, the power of their spells would increase exponentially, and Ji Gongzi, who was only at the Jindan level, could not bear it at all.
The aftermath of the fight is enough to shake Young Master Ji into powder.
What's terrible is that even with all his sneak attack, Zhou Wen could only stop one of them in an instant. He is facing two people, who is the real murderer? have no idea!
If he made a wrong bet, not only he himself may be plotted against by the real murderer, but everyone in the room may die.
Once they die, this star will fall on the real murderer without any suspense.
Zhou Wen couldn't afford to gamble.
Wang Yue and Zhao Zhi were also stealthily observing the other two.
