Therefore, Zhou Wen concluded that Tan Wenxuan's poisoning must have occurred today. And the only ones who entered the captain's cabin today were the three of them. Apart from himself, the murderer must be among Wang Yue and Zhao Zhi, and it may even be the two of them working together.
Besides, what kind of magic circle can calculate so well in advance, just today, just when Tan Wenxuan is resting, just when all the guests have left
Zhao Zhi nodded and said, "You are right. I have been thinking about a question, why did the murderer kill the captain?"
There must be a reason for killing. Generally speaking, it is either for fame, profit, or love. A few are perverted for pleasure.
Wang Yue hurriedly asked, "What do you think is the reason?"
Zhao Zhi stared at Wang Yue and said, "Captain Tan seldom disembarks, and he is very good at being a man. There is no enemy in the sect. No one will attack him because of personal enmity."
Zhou Wen agreed and said, "Not bad!"
Wang Yue pondered and said, "You mean the murderer is a spy sent from abroad?"
Zhao Zhi nodded and said, "I seldom disembark. Among the three of us, you disembark the most and deal with outsiders the most."
The implication is that he thought that Wang Yue was bought by people from other sects when he was out, so he plotted against the captain.
Wang Yue's face changed, and he said, "Nonsense! When I go out, I go out to buy supplies. I don't go out alone. There are a lot of people following me!"
What he meant was that he didn't have the opportunity to contact people from other sects alone, and going out was a normal purchase.
Zhao Zhi sneered: "Is it true, only you know!"
Wang Yue said angrily: "Don't bite people, Lao Zhou often goes out."
Yu Qingyao had a headache when she heard it, she couldn't figure out whether what the three people said was true or not, let alone who was the real culprit.
Zhou Wen said impatiently: "Stop arguing, you all seal yourself!"
His idea was very simple, anyway, the murderer was among the two, so he just caught them all. As long as they are caught and locked up, the ship will be safe.
Wang Yue took three steps back warily, and said, "You can't trust me, and I can't trust you either. Don't expect me to catch you without a fight. You should seal yourself."
Zhao Zhiyin stared at Zhou Wen with a gloomy face, and said, "You're not a thief calling for a thief, are you?"
Wang Yue heard it, and immediately said: "That's right, the one who screams the loudest is most likely a thief!"
Zhou Wen was very angry, but he knew that he was going to force his hand at this time, and he was afraid that it would be one against two, and it would be a chaotic battle at that time.
It is unwise to fight in disorder without knowing the enemy and ourselves.
Although the strength of the other two is not as good as his, but the difference is limited, he does not have the ability to easily suppress them.
He held his breath and sighed: "The murderer is among the three of us, you say, right?"
The other two nodded with ugly faces, and Wang Yue said unwillingly: "The murderer may also be hidden among the crew."
Zhou Wen said lightly: "We all know the basics of the people on board, but they don't have that ability."
Those who can go to Xingcha are all old people in the sect, and even most of them are Taoists who were born and raised in the sect. If it weren't for the cleanliness and trustworthiness, how could it be possible to control such a powerful super magic weapon as Xingcha
Wang Yue was still not reconciled, and argued strongly: "Can't someone kill a crew member, and then pretend to be him and get on the ship?"
Zhou Wen said coldly: "Do you think Captain Tan and I are idiots? We didn't see who boarded the ship with our own eyes?"
Wang Yue was speechless.
Zhao Zhi rubbed his nose and pondered: "We can't completely rule out this possibility. After arriving at Yuyaoyuan, everyone is very relaxed. Maybe someone got on the boat at that time."
Zhou Wen sneered disdainfully, and didn't even bother to refute.
The reason is very simple, Fushan Sect knows this route. It is impossible for people from other sects of Da Luotian to go to Yuyao Garden.
Zhao Zhi said: "Another possibility is that someone bought one of our crew members, maybe one of the captain's entourage."
Wang Yue clapped her hands and said, "Not bad!"
Zhou Wen didn't immediately refute this statement, because it was really possible. If something happened to the captain's entourage, it would be easier for that person to poison than the three of them.
He pondered for a while and said, "Let's do it! I can't trust you, and you can't trust me either. I propose that from now on, the three of us will always be together. What do you think?"
His idea is very simple, staring at these two people, the murderer will not be able to commit further crimes, and the ship will be safe. During this period, he can send someone to continue to investigate who the murderer is. If you really can't find out, wait until you return to the sect, and then hand it over to the suzerain to investigate.
Wang Yue thought for a while, nodded and said, "I don't care!"
With a dark face, Zhao Zhi said, "That's fine!"
Yu Qingyao pouted secretly: Cut! After arguing for a long time, there was a lot of talking, but nothing was resolved.
From this moment on, the three of them stayed together all the time, sitting together in a conference room, no one was allowed to go out alone, and no matter what order was issued, the three of them had to agree together.
On the other side, Jia Ji and Li Huaide are also making unannounced visits day and night.
Of course, Yu Qingyao stayed in her room, she would let this person grow a gray hair, and sometimes let that person grow a gray hair, she was also very busy.
Everyone on board knew that the captain was dead, and now the whole ship is being sealed off to investigate the murderer. Everyone on board was very upset.
A day later, the case has gone nowhere. Neither Zhou Wen, Jia Ji, Li Huaide, nor Yu Qingyao got any effective clues.
Le Zhihe's apprentice, Shi Chong, suddenly rushed into the conference room.
He yelled: "Mate, I have an emergency to report!"
Zhou Wen frowned and ordered the blocking followers to get out of the way.
He asked: "What's the matter with you?"
Shi Chong said anxiously: "Mate Zhou, Xingcha is advancing!"
Zhou Wen was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Impossible, I ordered the ship to stop yesterday."
Although he could drive, he didn't dare to drive by himself like Tan Wenxuan without a pilot. Therefore, he ordered to stop the ship, wanting to find the star map first.
Although Shi Chong is Le Zhihe's apprentice, he studied piloting, but he has not yet graduated from the teacher, so he cannot take on the task of piloting.
Shi Chong said eagerly: "It's true. I just went to see it. Although it looks dark outside, the laws are constantly changing. The boat is really moving."
Zhou Wen's face changed drastically, he stood up suddenly and rushed out.
Wang Yue asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"
Without looking back, Zhou Wen said, "I'll go to the command room to have a look."
Wang Yueqi asked, "Why are you going there?"
Zhou Wen didn't have time to answer, and his figure flashed out like lightning.
Wang Yue hurriedly followed.
When he arrived in the command room, Zhou Wen took a closer look at the control circle, and shouted with a livid face, "What the hell, who drove the boat?"
A crew member sitting nearby laughed.
Zhou Wen immediately turned his head to look, squinted his eyes and asked, "Is it you?"
The crew member laughed and said, "That's right, it's me!"
Zhou Wen asked coldly, "Why are you doing this?"
