It was calm on the boat last night, and it was even more so on the ground floor where Yun Xi's master and servant were.

In the second half of the night, Qingguo kept vigil in high spirits and found nothing unusual.

Before three sticks of incense, Lu Qingfan, who was inspecting various places, returned to the deck and found the body hanging on the observation deck.

Boss Lei is dead.

The boatmen were bustling on the deck, shouting that they wanted to collect the body of Mr. Lei.

In order not to damage the place where the crime occurred, Lu Qingfan and his servant were in charge of the overall situation at the observation tower. They couldn't get away, so they asked Hua Jianying to inform Yun Xi to conduct an autopsy.

Yun Xi casually wiped his face with a cloth, asked Qingguo to carry the baggage on his back, and was about to leave.

Before leaving, Yun Xi did not forget to tell Fang Nuo: "Stay in the room and don't open the door to anyone except us."

Fang Nuo nodded, followed Yun Xi and his party anxiously as they left, and couldn't help but murmured: "Sure enough, someone died again, died again..."

Master is right again!

The distance from the cabin corridor on the ground floor to the deck was only a few dozen breaths, but Yun Xi seemed to have walked for a hundred years.

The moment they got on the deck, Yun Xi slipped and almost fell down. Qing Guo said "Hey" and before she could reach out, Hua Jianying was faster than her.

The man's arm supported half of Yun Xi's body, not exceeding the rules at all.

"Be careful."

Yun Xi used her strength to stand firm and said sheepishly: "Thank you, Mr. Hua, I'm too anxious."

"...Boss Lei's death is not your fault." Hua Jianying comforted in a low voice: "You have done your duty, but the criminal was too cunning."

Yun Xi shook his head: "Since you were taken advantage of, you can't be considered as performing your duties."

During the conversation, Yun Xi inadvertently raised her eyes and looked into a pair of dark eyes as deep as the sea: Lu Qingfan was standing not far in front of him unknown when, and he did not know how long he had been watching or listening.

His tall and handsome figure faced the rising sun, casting a long shadow on the deck.

Yun Xi's eyes darkened, and she walked quickly to Lu Qingfan: "Sir, where is Boss Lei's body?"

"...Follow me." Lu Qingfan nodded slightly and left with Yun Xi.

Before leaving, he specifically looked back at Hua Jianying, who was still where he was.

Huajianying didn't seem to expect Lu Qingfan to look back at him and smiled slightly at Lu Qingfan.

Lu Qingfan's face was as dark as water, without any sign of a smile. He raised his hand slightly and motioned for Hua Jianying to follow him.

"Oh, it turns out you still have to monitor me..." Hua Jianying sighed helplessly.

"Oh, dude, hurry up! Life is at stake!" Qingguo pushed Hua Jianying's arm and ran after his young lady.

As soon as Yun Xi arrived at the observation deck, her pupils shrank in shock.

Boss Lei, the rough man who yesterday threatened to avenge the class teacher, was now hanging on the observation tower, his tongue was hanging out, his pupils were as big as copper bells, and his death was very hideous.

There were at least a dozen boatmen standing on the deck, some of whom Yun Xi had seen before, and some of whom were strangers. They all looked sad and angry.

The one with a bad temper was already yelling: "Who killed the boss by killing a thousand swords?"

"The class teacher is dead and the boss is gone too. What will we do in the future?"

"It's all your fault! We've been tossing us for a long time without finding the murderer, and now another one is dead!"

…

Leng Chuan and Leng Hai kept calming the boatmen, fearing that if they got excited and threw the huge passenger ship on the sea, everyone would really be doomed.

"Let's go up and take a look first." Lu Qingfan's arrival made the boatmen automatically make way for them. Yun Xi followed him and passed the many boatmen with red eyes, and went up to the observation deck.

Everyone knew that Yun Xi was a liar, and even Boss Lei admired her quite a lot during his lifetime. At this time, no one was making trouble for a delicate little girl.

Qingguo took three steps at a time to catch up with the two of them, and followed them up to the observation tower.

When going up the steps of the third-floor observation deck from the second floor, the sudden sea breeze made her clothes rustle. Yunxi almost lost her balance and was grabbed by Lu Qingfan's forearm.

Yun Xi was caught off guard and instinctively held it back. The two of them looked at each other, and she met those burning ink eyes that were burning with fire.

Mr. Lu, why does he look at me with such burning eyes?

The two of them kept holding each other's hands, neither of them spoke or moved.

Lu Qingfan used all his self-control to force his eyes away from the little woman and pulled her up to the observation deck.

Yunxi, whose ears were quietly pink, lowered her head and closed her eyes, secretly complaining about the man's charming eyes.

Mr. Lu is really too handsome.

"No one has touched the body," Lu Qingfan looked at Yun Xi: "Pull it up?"

"Pull." Yun Xi nodded.

The observation deck looked spacious, but in fact it could only accommodate two people turning back and forth. After Qingguo came up, the observation deck seemed a little cramped.

Taking advantage of the break from pulling the corpse, Yun Xi observed the situation around the observation tower, and then focused on the signs of wear on the railings.

When she saw the scars on Boss Lei's neck, Yunxi said "Huh".

"What?" Lu Qingfan looked stern and squatted next to Yun Xi.

"Two traces." Yun Xi said softly: "Sir, look here."

There was a complete strangulation mark on Mr. Lei's neck. The purple-red color was about the width of a finger and a half.

The reins used to hang the man up were not that wide, indicating that the criminal prepared the ropes himself. The two tying marks gradually melted together under the long-term congestion, forming a blood mark that was wider than an ordinary rein.

The bright white fingers slowly pushed aside the side of Lei Boss's hair... Yun Xi was all too familiar with the slightly thin red mark.

She raised her head with a complicated expression: "I need an autopsy."

Yun Xi did not say that the murderer who killed Boss Lei and the class teacher were probably the same person.

The boatmen below are already panicking, and the boat passengers who heard that Boss Lei is dead are gradually gathering here. If it is revealed that the murderer is a serial murderer at this moment, a new round of panic will inevitably break out, making the situation of solving the case more complicated.

.

Qingguo carried Boss Lei's body down to the observation deck.

Many boatmen stared at the human figure wrapped in white cloth on Qingguo's back and shouted with tears in their eyes: "Boss!"

"Boss, why did you just..."

"I don't believe it! How could the boss be killed for nothing if he is so skilled in martial arts?"

"Yes, there must be something hidden in this!"

A hot-blooded boatman immediately blocked the way of Yun Xi's master and servant: "What are your identities? Are you really from the government?"

"Who knows if they are pretending to be members of the government... maybe they are the murderers!" Peng Rong, who was hiding behind the crowd, had long been dissatisfied with Lu Qingfan and his party, and immediately agreed.

Several boat girls also murmured in a low voice: "Everything was fine when the five of them didn't get on the boat, so why are there so many deaths happening one after another now?"

If there is one, there are two, and more and more people are questioning Lu Qingfan and his party.

Yun Xi and Qing Guo were blocked by several tall and strong boatmen, while Lu Qingfan and the other three behind them were pointed at by thousands of people.

"Master Lu, they are not criminals!" A pair of masters and apprentices walked out from the deck on the ground.

Granny Yan Ling woke up!

Yun Xi's eyebrows lit up with joy, and Qing Guo said excitedly: "Ah, my mother-in-law looks much better."

Granny Yan Ling's eyes were clear. She bowed to Lu Qingfan and others first and said warmly: "I'm sick. It's Mr. Lu and Miss Yun who came to help me. If they were criminals, they wouldn't care about the lives of others. Why bother to protect everyone?"

Where to catch the murderer?"

"Yes, Miss Yun can obviously ignore Master. Yesterday, they came to help us keep a vigil!" Fang Nuo said angrily to several boat girls: "They also kept watch for you all night!"

The four women headed by Chunhua all looked astonished. They had no idea that Master Yunxi had also been watching over them all night.

"So what? Maybe this is your disguise!" Peng Rong added fuel to the fire.

The boatmen, who lost their minds, were angry and frightened, were incited by Peng Rong: "Yes! The murderer is cunning, maybe this is your disguise!"

"As long as we throw them down, we will be safe!"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

…

The crowd was excited for a while, and several people had already approached Yun Xi and Qing Guo. They didn't even care that they were still carrying Boss Lei's body, and wanted to throw the two little girls who were the first among them into the sea!

[Author's digression]: Lu Qingfan: Don't worry, I will take action.

Leng Chuan: You don’t need to take action, I’ll do it!

Leng Hai: One or two of them, do you think I don’t exist?
