Chapter 43 Killing someone by mistake?

Yun Xi also wanted to ask Boss Peng about his purpose in coming to Beijing, but he refused to say anything any more.

The master and servant left in disappointment, leaving only Peng Rong's arrogant roar behind them, shouting about changing rooms.

Back in the bedroom, Yun Xi drew a branch line on the clue map and added the sentence "delivery to the capital, protect Peng Rong's safety".

He stared intently at the tiny clues he had drawn out, secretly thinking that he couldn't do anything now, and he was really frustrated.

Yun Xi fell asleep at some point due to exhaustion, and the green fruit beside her also dozed off like a chicken pecking at rice.

Let's say that Lu Qingfan, together with Qiuyue, Zhuyan, and Yanluo, searched all the rooms in the large passenger ship, but still did not see Miss Chunhua.

Accompanied by the sounds of three women crying, Lu Qingfan's eyes stopped on the calm sea.

People will not disappear out of thin air, unless something unexpected has happened...just like Mrs. Peng who disappeared.

"Sir, are we Chunhua, are we..." Zhu Yan was the calmer one among the three. As soon as she said this, the other two cried louder.

Lu Qingfan responded in silence.

"Oh, girls, don't cry. Maybe Miss Chunhua went to pick up the guests secretly, and we don't know if she will come back later..." Leng Hai immediately used his talkative nature and comforted the three girls.

Sent back to the wing.

Huajianying, who had been watching, knew very well that Chunhua would never come back. Leng Weiwei's words were nothing more than pale comfort.

Lu Qingfan turned around and went to the basement level.

At this moment, he wanted to see Yun Xi.

Want it very much.

The corridor was quiet as usual. When Lu Qingfan saw the slightly open door of Yun Xi's master and servant's room, his heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his hand holding the sword tightened a little.

When he saw Qingguo sitting and taking a nap and Yunxi sleeping soundly on the table, his internal organs returned to their proper places.

Lu Qingfan's grip on the sword was slightly loosened, and his eyes fell on the sleeping man.

The little woman's thick eyelashes formed a curved shadow under her eyes, and her skin was pink and pink. Her lips were a little dry. She must have been busy for two days without even having a cup of tea...

He was fascinated by the sight, and when he realized it, his fingertips were less than half an inch away from Yun Xi's lips.

Lu Qingfan quickly retracted his hand as if he had been burned by something, turned around and walked away, fearing that he would be discovered if he was too slow.

As soon as Lu Qingfan left the wing, Yun Xi opened her eyes, her clear eyes showing no sign of sleepiness.

She woke up when Lu Qingfan's breathing became chaotic.

Yun Xi turned her head and saw that Xiao Qingguo was also awake and sitting upright.

The master and servant looked at each other, both a little embarrassed.

"Master Lu's footsteps are too heavy, right, miss?" Qingguo coughed lightly and asked with a smile.

"We think we slept too lightly, right?" Yun Xi asked narrowly.

Both of them covered their mouths and had fun.

No longer sleepy, Yun Xi decided to give Granny Yan Ling acupuncture first.

The old man didn't have much waking time today. He fell into a deep sleep again after coming back from the deck.

After applying the acupuncture, Fang Nuo asked about the death of the ship boss. Yun Xi briefly said, and then said softly: "You better not go out today."

"Yes, Mr. Lu has already given instructions. No one will leave the room until the murderer is found, and the food will be served on time." Fang Nuo sighed: "When can the murderer be caught?"

Yun Xi was speechless.

They want to catch the murderer more than anyone else.

At nightfall, Yun Xi's master and servant stayed in their room after dinner. Lu Qingfan did not let them stay vigil anymore to avoid being affected by the murderer.

The quiet room contrasted sharply with the nervousness pacing back and forth on the deck.

The boatmen looked at the getting darker and darker night, with a touch of anxiety in their eyes.

Suddenly, a dark wind blew quietly.

"It's not good, it's not good!" A coach rushed to the observation deck quickly, "Sir, a storm is coming!"

"What?" Lu Qingfan put down the telescope in his hand: "How big is the storm?"

"It's big, it's big!" the instructor said anxiously: "There will be thunderstorms, we have to prepare quickly!"

"Get ready!" This is a big deal, and the life of a ship cannot be allowed to make any mistakes.

Lu Qingfan blew his whistle, and the Leng brothers landed on the observation deck with Huajian Ying. He gave a few instructions in a low voice, and the two of them dispersed to make preparations for the storm.

Huajianying looked at the dark sky not far away, with a worried look on his face: "It's broken, there's going to be thunder."

As soon as he finished speaking, several flashes of lightning suddenly appeared on the horizon, and a storm suddenly hit, causing the huge ship to jolt.

Lu Qingfan and Hua Jianying immediately held on to the ship's plank and watched helplessly as the sail pole on the side was bent by the sudden lightning strike and pressed straight down towards the deck!

"Watch out!"

Lu Qingfan jumped up and used his inner strength to hold the fallen boat pole, and shouted at the boatman standing below: "Why are you still standing there? Get out of the way!"

Only then did the boatmen below realize that Mr. Lu had actually used a pair of fleshy palms to prevent the boat pole from falling down, thus saving their lives!

The heavy rain suddenly hit, and the huge storm rocked the boat from side to side. Fortunately, the boatmen were experienced and only panicked for a moment before they went about their business in an orderly manner and stabilized the boat.

The bumps continued, and the broken pole did not have much impact on the ship.

For the first time, Lu Qingfan was grateful that the passenger ship they were traveling on was so big, and could move forward steadily like a small boat in the wind and rain.

The ruthless rain came with the howling sea breeze. Several instructors worked together to stabilize the rudder. Lu Qingfan, the Leng brothers, and Hua Jianying threw the broken huge pole into the sea.

After finishing their work, everyone was soaked to the skin.

Finally, half an hour later, the thunderstorm gradually became quieter and the sea breeze became gentle.

After a while, an instructor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, it's stable. If we keep going for a while, it will stop raining."

Thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone, the situation was quickly stabilized.

Lu Qingfan raised his head and said "hard work" to everyone.

"Thank you for saving me, sir!"

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, sir! Go back and change your clothes!"

"Don't worry, we will keep a close watch and not let the criminal take advantage of this!"



After this battle, both the boatman and the instructor were completely convinced by Lu Qingfan. Lu Qingfan went back to change clothes at the enthusiastic urging of the boatmen.

The Leng brothers and Hua Jianying also returned to the wing together.

Yun Xi and Qing Guo knew something was wrong when the ship was bumping and undulating. The turbulent sea water outside the window slapped against the windows, making them quite anxious.

After the storm passed, Qingguo was still pacing back and forth nervously.

Yun Xi sat at the desk and stared at the case diagram in a daze, unconsciously tracing the fine lines and veins of the murder weapon in her hand.

Hearing the sound outside the door, Qingguo said excitedly: "Miss, Mr. Lu and the others are back to change clothes!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi quickly stood up and walked to the door. She raised her voice and asked, "Master Lu, are you okay?"

Her worried clear eyes fell upon the sudden sight of the four people's wet appearance and she was startled. She frowned and quickly turned around, dragging Qingguo who didn't understand why, and turned her back to them.

"It's okay, don't worry." Lu Qingfan's deep voice revealed reassuring power, "You go in."

Leng Hai coughed lightly, "What...Miss Yun, there's nothing interesting about a drowned rat."

The key is that the clothes cling to my body and are really uncomfortable.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and change your clothes." Yun Xi quietly closed most of the door.

"My clothes are just wet, what's there to be ashamed of..." Qingguo muttered in a low voice, "Have you forgotten what we do?"

"Pfft, you!" Yun Xi nodded Qingguo's little head: "The living person pays attention to propriety, justice and integrity, and the corpse must also be decent. Shouldn't we pay attention to it?"

Qingguo stuck out her tongue coquettishly.

"Boom!"

"Don't run!"

"ah!"

Yun Xi's pupils shrank and she suddenly opened the door. In front of her, Hua Jianying was standing at the end of the corridor exit, not knowing what was going on.

At the same time, Lu Qingfan also walked out wearing outer clothes.

He rushed to Hua Jianying's side first.

Yun Xi followed closely behind, "Hua Gong, what happened..."

There were blood stains on Hua Jianying's hands and clothes. Following his confused gaze, Yun Xi saw the strange young man lying in a pool of blood.

The boy's abdomen was stabbed all over with a wooden stick, and blood mixed with rain flowed all over the floor.

[Author's digression]: Boy: Why did you stab me?

Huajianying:?

Lu Qingfan:??
