Chapter 105 Murder [Please vote for me! 】
Guo Chongwen is a third-level Confucian cultivator. It would be a little troublesome to scare the snake and cause him to panic and flee.
When a Qi Refiner is focused on escaping, there are quite a lot of magical powers available to him. Especially since he has always been in a high and powerful position, he may not have any life-saving preparations.
So the plan that Liang Yue and the Yinma Supervisor had discussed before was not to conduct a rash search, but to get on the boat first and target Guo Chongwen's position before taking action.
There will always be people following Guo Chongwen inside and outside the city walls. As long as they see Guo Chongwen, he will basically not be able to escape.
After hearing Cao Yi's words, Liang Yue glanced at the cabin at the bottom.
This ship shouldn't usually hold too many people. There are only two small rooms on the left and right in the bilge, and an aisle in the middle. They were sitting at the bow of the boat, and the passage could lead to the stern. The old boatman controlled the direction alone at the stern.
The layout inside the ship is very simple.
Corrupt officials are corrupt officials. Their escape standards are higher than others, and they can occupy a cabin to themselves.
With such a short waterway, it doesn’t matter if it’s comfortable or not, the most important thing is privacy. If you can afford a cabin, you can avoid the embarrassment of being face-to-face with people.
After thinking for a while, Liang Yue said: "Let's have a quarrel, pretend to have a fight, and steal the opportunity to open the door of a cabin."
His idea is that opening both cabin doors is too deliberate. . If it was Guo Chongwen who happened to open one room, if not, then Guo Chongwen would most likely be in the other room.
Cao Yi nodded and agreed, "Okay."
The two people were brewing and preparing to quarrel.
Suddenly, a man and a woman over there were heard arguing. They were whispering at first, but the volume gradually became louder as they talked.
"Stop talking, everything about me has been ruined by you!" The woman held her head and said in pain, "I really don't know why I believed your nonsense in the first place!"
"Why do you do this? Say?" The young man held her shoulders and said, "When I discussed it with you, you clearly didn't refuse!"
"That's all because of my imagination!" "You haven't thought about it for me."
The man said coldly, "If you think so, there's nothing I can do about it."
The quarrel brewing between Liang Yue and Cao Yi was interrupted by them. , seeing this scene, Liang Yue rolled his eyes, gave Cao Yi a wink, then came over and said: "Girl, let's calm down, everything must be communicated properly, right?"
The man and woman turned their heads together and looked at him strangely, feeling a little baffled.
Who can get on this boat and have the good intentions to break up the fight?
Cao Yi just received his look and stood up and said: "Why did you persuade this girl but not that man? Isn't it his problem?"
Liang Yue frowned Said: "With just these few words, who's problem can you tell? I feel that the girl's mood is not that stable, so I just advise her to talk properly."
"If this man hadn't done anything, this How could a girl be driven crazy?" Cao Yi retorted.
Liang Yue raised his voice and said with anger: "How come you already know who is right and who is wrong? I just advise them to communicate well so that they can know who is right and who is wrong!"
Cao Yi also had an angry face, "Then why do you advise the girl to be stable but not the man? It's obvious that he has a bigger problem."
Looking at the two of them yelling at each other, the man and the woman were a little stunned, shaking their heads left and right. , don’t know what’s going on.
Listen, listen, why are you coming back again?
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the man stood up and advised: "You two, we have nothing serious to do, you don't have to be like this..."
The woman also frowned and said calmly: "You two don't care about our affairs."
The person who was initially persuaded to fight came out and began to persuade others.
But I couldn’t stop this fight.
Liang Yue yelled: "This girl's reaction is even greater. I just advise her to be more stable. How do you know whose problem it is?"
"If it's not this man's problem, How could this girl be so unstable?" Cao Yi yelled back.
The two of them seemed to be going through a cycle.
Liang Yue finally couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed angrily: "Fuck you!"
Punched out a punch and knocked Cao Yi away.
Bang——
Cao Yi flew a few feet away and hit the cabin door on the left side obliquely, knocking the cabin door open with a bang.
"Ah!" A child exclaimed from inside.
Liang Yue quickly looked in and saw that the space in the cabin was very small, with only a bed for one person to lie flat on, and a small coffee table with tea and cakes on it. There is a door but no windows, and there is a vent the size of a human face above the door, which looks dark and cramped.
There were three people inside, sitting side by side on the bed.
A middle-aged monk wearing a white robe, with a shiny bald head, a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and a gentle and gentle appearance.
A woman wearing a pink dress, with fair skin and plump figure, looks dignified and steady.
Sitting between the two of them was a boy wearing a small flowered jacket. He looked about five or six years old, and he was also round and fair.
Cao Yi broke down the door, and the little boy was startled, and then he exclaimed.
"Two donors." The monk immediately stood up, protected the beautiful woman and child behind him, looked at the situation outside, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what conflicts you have, please don't disturb the poor. A family of three monks.”
This sounds so strange.
Don’t disturb the poor monk’s family of three...
Liang Yue didn't have time to think about it and said immediately: "I'm sorry."
The boatman happened to come from behind the boat and shouted angrily: "Go back and sit down!"
Cao Yi stood up and said Liang Yue looked at each other.
After this fuss, they can probably confirm that Guo Chongwen is in the room on the right, and they can immediately attack with thunder, rush in and do it directly!
……
But at this time, the boat had approached the city wall and suddenly began to sink.
The boatman said to everyone: "We are leaving the city soon. I hope everyone will be safe. They are all coming out with their own things, so don't cause any new trouble."
His focus After taking a look at Liang Yue and Cao Yi, he continued: "Today is the last time I take this boat trip. After completing your order, I will stop. So I hope it will be calm today and everyone can leave the city smoothly."
After he finished speaking, he began to hold a jade talisman in his hands and make secrets with both hands.
Black covers suddenly began to rise on both sides of the ship. There were formations operating in the dark, and the energy was surging, covering the entire ship inside. The light inside the ship suddenly dimmed.
What's going on?
Liang Yue suddenly realized that this was a submarine.
The principle of this boat leaving the city is to sink the hull and follow the river out of the city.
The principle is very simple.
The difficulty is that there are densely packed formations in the river. Once triggered, the ship will definitely be reduced to dust. Since they can pass, it means that they must have internal support among the defenders on the city.
The guards at the four gates rotate regularly. It may be that one or several of them started this industry, sheltering felons from the city and charging high amounts of money per head.
Sure enough, the fully closed boat accelerated and sank, and should soon be able to pass through the water channel under the city wall.
At this moment, a roar was suddenly heard.
It seems that the hull of the ship has been shaken!
Rumble——
Followed by a more violent vibration, the ship's hull quickly descended and crashed into a ball of soft things before it came to a complete stop.
The darkness continues.
Phew——
The woman was the first to emit light. There seemed to be some secret treasure hidden in her sleeves. When activated, the colorful glazed glow shone brightly.
Immediately afterwards, the boatman also lit a torch and stood on the bow of the boat, covering everyone in the dark yellow firelight.
The light flickers on and off, a bit strange.
Seeing the light, the woman immediately closed down her magical power.
"What's going on?" the young man asked.
The boatman looked tense and said: "Someone must have destroyed the formation on the boat just now, causing the hull to fall onto the river."
The way they look now, the boat should have been sealed, and then the entire boat was plunged into the sand at the bottom of the river, like a betel nut thrust into the ground.
“Can it be repaired?” The old man in black robe on the bow opened his eyes for the first time and asked in a hoarse voice.
"I can't get out, and I can't get the materials to repair the formation." The boatman shook his head.
"Then let's swim out by ourselves?" the young man said.
"Absolutely not!" The boatman sternly said: "This place is under the city wall, surrounded by countless magic circles. Once there are no evasive runes on the bow of the boat, you will be wiped out in an instant. If there is a Grandmaster Realm With strength, you should be able to take the risk.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence.
The boatman continued: "Just wait patiently, someone will come to rescue us soon."
The monk's family of three in the cabin also came out. The beautiful woman looked a little flustered and timid. He asked, "Can we still leave the city?"
"Yes." The boatman stood in the middle and said firmly: "Soon the defenders at the top of the city will find out, and we will be rescued."
Really confident.
The defenders at the top of the city discovered that there was an unknown ship smuggling under the wall, so they rescued it instead of destroying it directly.
There is indeed collusion.
Liang Yue had been silent at first, but seeing everyone except Guo Chongwen here, he suddenly said loudly: "Who destroyed the formation?"
"This... The boatman looked back at the stern of the boat and said slowly: "It was hard to tell where it came from in the darkness, but it was probably the people on our boat who did it."
"I knew it!" He also stood up suddenly, "Someone doesn't want us to leave. He wants everyone to die here. Find this person!"
"I'm also curious about who wants to keep us here." The old man in black robe also said hoarsely.
The young man and woman have reconciled, clinging to each other and making no sound.
There was a family of three. The beautiful woman and child were hiding behind the monk, shivering, but the monk stood calmly with a calm expression.
Liang Yue walked to the cabin on the right and said as he walked: "Why do the people inside always dare not show up? I think he is the most suspicious!"
After that, he kicked Kicked open the door and shouted: "Come out."
Now I am not afraid that Guo Chongwen will run away. Everyone is trapped in the formation under the city wall, with no way to the sky and no way to the earth. As long as he is still on the ship, he can only be captured without mercy.
Bang!
But as he was kicked away, he suddenly froze.
Because in the small cabin, there was indeed a middle-aged man in brocade clothes lying on the bed, but he was upright and motionless, his eyes were looking at the sky, his chest was bright red, and blood was dripping down his clothes. The sleeves dripped to the ground and were still warm.
He seems to be dead!
Cao Yi came behind him, took a look, and whispered: "This person is Guo Chongwen."
It was still a step too late.
“Dead?” When the boatman saw it, his face suddenly dropped, with an expression of great misfortune.
Seeing the dead person, everyone else on the boat also panicked, except for the old man in black robe who still sat calmly.
"It's what happened in the darkness just now." Liang Yue looked at everyone, his eyes were like a torch, and he said solemnly: "The murderer should be among us."
Good morning.
For the record, it’s the second time I’ve been insomnia all night since I started reading.
I got up and started working first. I posted the chapters to see if I can sleep later. I can’t sleep now and I really know how to get up and code. This is no longer a joke.
It seems that I really need to get some medication, as the good sleep during the vacation will no longer last.
The number of words I update in this book every day is much longer than before, and my working hours will be much longer. I will suffer from insomnia after typing before going to bed until later. It is almost fixed, and there is no good way.
well.
Please vote for the monthly vote and give the poor author a warm encouragement. Thank you.
