Several people were a little shocked when they heard what Ouyang Zhan said, but they quickly calmed down.

"I wonder who Ouyang Daxia suspected first?" Han Ning stood up and said.

Ouyang Zhan looked at Han Ning and said, "From what my little brother said, there is someone suspicious?"

Han Ning nodded, pointed at Nangong Cheng and said, "I think we should suspect him first!"

"You're talking nonsense..." Xiang Tianyu said angrily.

Nangong Cheng stood in front of Xiang Tianyu and shook his head at her, meaning to tell her not to argue. Xiang Tianyu had to swallow what he was going to say next. Nangong Cheng said to Han Ning: "I don't know why you doubt me?

"

Han Ning said: "Because you are a disciple of the evil sect, and good and evil cannot coexist. It is possible for evil sect disciples to kill decent people, so you are the most suspicious."

Nangong Cheng smiled, looked at Ouyang Zhan and said, "What do you think?"

Ouyang Zhan also smiled and said to Han Ning: "What the little brother said is indeed right, but it's a pity that he can't be a poisonous snake."

Han Ning said: "Why?"

Ouyang Zhan said: "Because when Master Kubei and Taoist Mu Sang died, he had a clear alibi."

Han Ning said: "What's the alibi?"

Ouyang Zhan said: "He was by my side when they died, so I testified for him!"

Nangong Cheng smiled.

Xiang Tianyu said to Han Ning: "Well, did you hear it? My husband-in-law cannot be a poisonous snake man."

Lin Yong said: "When Uncle Master and Taoist Mu Sang died, we also had alibi. We went to collect their bodies."

Han Ning, Han Ming and Kang Ping all nodded.

Ouyang Zhan said: "Okay, let me ask you, did Taoist Mu Sang and Liu Hao take the initiative to find you to collect the corpse, or did you take the initiative to find them?"

Lin Yong, Han Ning, Han Ming and Kang Ping remained silent.

Ouyang Zhan said to Liu Hao: "Brother Liu, you should tell me!"

Liu Hao nodded and said: "When I went to collect the body of Taoist Mu Sang, Han Ming came to see me first. On the way to collect the body of Taoist Mu Sang, I met Han Ning again, so the three of us went there together."

Ouyang Zhan nodded and said to Han Ning and Han Ming: "Excuse me, where were you two days when Master Kubei and Taoist Mu Sang died? Who can prove it for you?"

Han Mingdao: "I was practicing swordplay alone in the woods. Later I heard that Master Kubei died and my uncle was going to take revenge, so I went to find Liu Daxia hoping to have a look."

Ouyang Zhan said: "Can anyone prove it for you?"

Han Ming smiled and said: "Don't you bring someone with you when you practice swordsmanship? What if he learns your moves?"

Ouyang Zhan nodded and asked Han Ning: "What about you? What were you doing before going to see Liu Hao again?"

Han Ning said: "I am also practicing my sword alone."

Ouyang Zhan said: "Needless to say, no one can prove it for you, right?"

Han Ning nodded.

Ouyang Zhan said to Lin Yong and Kang Ping: "I wonder what you two are doing? Who can prove it?"

Lin Yong said: "On the day when my uncle died, we were all together with Taoist Mu Sang. Can he give us proof?"

Hua Manchun said: "The dead cannot testify."

Ouyang Zhan nodded and said to Lin Yong and Kang Ping: "Then what were you two doing on the day Taoist Mu Sang died?"

Lin Yong said: "I was alone in my room reciting the Heart Sutra to save my great uncle. I hope he can reach the Paradise of Paradise as soon as possible."

Kang Ping said: "Me too."

Ouyang Zhan said to Lin Yong and Kang Ping: "Can anyone prove that you were in the room all the time?"

Lin Yong and Kang Ping thought for a while, and Lin Yong said: "No one came to disturb me when I was reciting sutras, and I don't know who can prove it for me."

Kang Ping said: "Me too."

"It seems that the alibi of the four of them is not valid." After Ouyang Zhan said this, he looked at Liu Gao again, as if waiting for Liu Gao to tell him his alibi.

Liu Gaodao: "On the two days when Master Kubei and Taoist Mu Sang died, I was cleaning the accounts alone in the accounting room..."

"You don't need to mention your alibi, we eliminated you before we came in."

Xiang Tianyu smiled.

Liu Gaodao: "Why?"

"You see you are old and have difficulty moving, how could you be a poisonous snake?" Xiang Tianyu smiled and said to Ouyang Zhan, "Am I right?"

Ouyang Zhan said with a smile: "Yes! Of course you are right! Your elimination method to the eldest lady is unparalleled in the world. Whoever you want to eliminate must not be the murderer."

Xiang Tianyu smiled proudly and said, "That means that Mr. Poisonous Snake is among these five people."

When Liu Hao saw that Xiang Tianyu had included him, he immediately became unhappy and said, "Why are you including me?"

Xiang Tianyu said to Liu Hao: "If you want to prove that you are not a poisonous snake, then show your alibi."

Liu Haodao: "I was at home during the two days when Master Kubei and Taoist Mu Sang died. If you don't believe me, you can ask around at my home. Many people saw me in those two days."

Xiang Tianyu was speechless for a moment.

Nangong Cheng said to Ouyang Zhan: "Now that it is confirmed that the poisonous snake man is among our group of people, is there any way you can find him?"

Ouyang Zhan shook his head and said: "Not yet." After saying that, Ouyang Zhan said with a smile: "Everyone go back and have a good rest. I believe that the boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge, and there will always be a way to find the poisonous snake man."

Everyone nodded, and just as they were about to go out, they heard Ouyang Zhan say again: "As always, don't tell anyone what happened today."

"We understand." Lin Yong, Kang Ping, Han Ming and Han Ning responded and left one after another.

Ouyang Zhan said to Nangong Cheng and Hua Manchun: "You two, don't forget to go out to investigate the case tomorrow."

Nangong Cheng and Hua Manchun nodded.

The next day, it was still dark.

Nangong Chengcheng had already gotten up and went to find Hua Manchun.

At this time, Hua Manchun was still sleeping. When he saw Nangong Cheng coming, he asked, "Why did you get up so early?"

Nangong Chengdao: "If I had slept in, I wouldn't be here today."

Hua Manchun nodded and said: "But you can't go out so early to investigate the case. The people haven't come out yet, so you can't find out anything if you go out!"

Nangong Chengdao: "What should we do?"

Hua Manchun knew that Nangong Cheng got up so early because of sword practice, so he said: "Why don't you find a place where no one is around to practice sword practice, and then come to me after dawn!"

Nangong Cheng thought this was a good suggestion, but he didn't want to show his martial arts within Liu Hao's control, for fear of being seen by Liu Hao. Nangong Cheng said: "I'll just meditate and practice Qi in your room!"

"It's up to you!" After Hua Manchun said that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Nangong Cheng also sat cross-legged and closed his eyes on the table in Hua Manchun's room.

Shortly after Nangong Cheng walked out of his room, Ouyang Zhan slipped in quietly. He sat in front of Xiang Tianyu's bed and gently touched Xiang Tianyu's shoulder, causing Xiang Tianyu to wake up.

Xiang Tianyu said: "Ou..."

"Shh-" Ouyang Zhan covered Xiang Tianyu's mouth with one hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid, and don't scream. I have something to tell you."

Xiang Tianyu nodded.

Ouyang Zhan whispered something into Xiang Tianyu's ear. As for the content of his words, only Xiang Tianyu and Ouyang Zhan knew. They only saw Xiang Tianyu nodding constantly.

After Ouyang Zhan finished speaking, he straightened up and asked Xiang Tianyu, "Do you understand what I just told you?"

Xiang Tianyu nodded and said: "I understand, don't worry, I won't tell anyone! Even if my husband asks me, I won't say anything!"

Ouyang Zhan smiled and nodded, then quietly retreated.

The sky gradually gets brighter, and the flowers finally rise.

The two of them walked out of Liu Hao's Mansion and came to Hangzhou City.

Hua Manchun said to Nangong Cheng: "Where are you going to check?"

Nangong Cheng thought for a while and said, "I want to find some elderly people on the streets of Hangzhou City to inquire."

Hua Manchun nodded.

Nangong Cheng also asked Hua Manchun, "Where are you going to check?"

Hua Manchun smiled and said: "Since you are investigating among the people, then I will go to the government to find a few detectives to ask. Let's see if there is any overlap in the information we got?"

Nangong Cheng nodded, and the two of them split up.

Nangong Cheng was walking on the street when he suddenly saw an eighty-year-old man wearing a coarse cloth with a gray beard and a child of about seven or eight years old coming over. It happened that a middle-aged man selling candied haws passed by them.

"Grandpa, I want to eat candied haws!" the child said to the old man.

The old man shook his head and said: "Son, our family is poor and we can't afford candied haws, so let's forget it!"

Nangong Cheng sighed, and when the man selling candied haws on a stick came to him, Nangong Cheng asked the man selling candied haws on a stick: "How much does a bunch of candied haws on a stick cost?"

"Two coppers in a string!"

Nangong Cheng nodded, gave the man selling candied haws a piece of cake two copper coins, took a bunch of candied haws of apples from him, and walked towards the old man and the child.
