I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 224 I am the murderer

With sinister black eye shadow, a long black silk dress, and a sweet smile with red lips, she looked like a poisonous snake waiting to strike in the darkness.

The woman who stepped out from the crew's shadow was undoubtedly a demonic witch.

It may not be common in Daxing. After all, there are mostly martial arts cultivators here, and such evil women rarely appear.

But in Dongzhou, there are many evil demons.

"You really come here every year to provoke us!" Jian Zheng looked at the woman opposite with a gloomy face and asked.

Obviously, this woman has quite a reputation, and Jian Zheng must know her.

But the woman didn't care at all. She pointed her finger on her chin with an innocent look on her face.

"I'm practicing my skills. Your Holy Ship is the best experimental subject. I managed to sneak in this time. It can be regarded as the success of my skills."

The enchanting female temptress, even though she speaks harmless words, still makes people feel uneasy.

It's not that the Holy Ship didn't invite her, it's that she didn't want it, so she sold the ticket backhand. She tried to get on the ship through crooked ways every year, and she was really busy.

But what's more troublesome is that Cao An feels like he's being targeted.

This woman has written "I want to plot against you" directly on her face. It gives me a headache!

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Yes, I am Cao An. What do you call the girl?"

"What! Cao An? Why are you here!"

Before Cao An finished greeting the woman, another exclamation came from the door.

Turning around, he saw a young man with a white face and a childish look, holding a sword in his hand, looking at him in disbelief.

"Tiemian, you're here too!" Cao An greeted this acquaintance without any burden.

When such a case happened, Cao An couldn't just sit back and watch. Since he wanted to investigate, it was inevitable to interact with Tie Mian, so he simply didn't hide it.

But the woman in black was very angry: "Do you understand, first come, first served!"

She glared at him fiercely, turned back to look at him, and instantly transformed into a charming and natural look.
  "Mr. Cao, I have admired you for a long time. My little girl, Su Se, is polite."

Suther?
  It did look a bit bitter, but as soon as she finished speaking, another person stood at the door.

Unkempt, wearing a plain robe, he joked casually: "I say Su She, don't call yourself a little girl. All the men who believe in you will die, right?"

"Qiao, shut up. Believe it or not, I will poison you while you are asleep tonight!"

"Hey, it sounds like you know my room number. Are you going to knock on the doors of each room to find me?"

"..."

Inexplicably, the scene became lively.

The charming Su Se, the fair-faced and delicate Tie Mian, the carefree Qiao Moumou...

No wonder no information about the guests is registered on this holy ship.

We are all well-known figures in the world. If we stay on the boat for a few days, there is no guarantee that enemies will come to visit us. If our whereabouts are recorded too clearly, we will be in trouble.

And the person invited by the Holy Ship must also be the emperor's favored son.

Feeling the shaking of the ship's hull, and suddenly receiving a notice to count the number of people, these people will naturally become suspicious, and it is normal to follow them and take a look.

But these three people could easily cross the cordon. Are they a bit sorry for the name of the holy ship?
  Cao An looked at Jian Zheng, who also looked livid and glared at the guards on the side: "What's going on with you? Why didn't you stop them?"

First Officer Zhou looked confused: "That's not right! Let's...I'll arrange for more people right away, three of you. We can't stay here for a long time. Please go out for a while."

"Yes, yes, my little lady is leaving now. Mr. Cao, if you are alone at night, you can come to me! The little girl's boudoir is never locked."

Su Seqiao smiled brightly, but her eyes were vague and glanced at the hole.

It was obvious that during the eavesdropping just now, she learned the news that the ship's hull was corroded. Her bright eyes flashed, and she seemed to be a difficult woman to deal with.

But those are all secondary. The key is how to ensure the safety of the holy ship.

"Cao An, the holy ship has been sailing for five days, and all the passengers who should be picked up have been picked up.

"There will be an auction on this ship tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be the time to attack the minefield. Please find the murderer before then."

Jian Zheng's tone was very serious, and Cao An nodded without declining.

Although this seems to be a thankless job, it is also related to his safety. The ability to break a hole means the ability to sink the entire holy ship. Especially after entering the minefield, if the ship corrodes the hull again, the whole ship may be in trouble.

You must find enemies and eliminate hidden dangers before entering the minefield.

But the problem now is that this case has not been recognized by the system as a mystery!
  It's really strange. Tisi was slandered by the widow before, and the system defined it as a mystery. Why did this ship not start up despite a hole in the bottom?

Could it be that the enemy's methods are too simple? The system doesn’t like it?
  With no clue for the time being, Cao An thought it would be better to investigate first.

The first person to ask is naturally the iron man who is blocking the door and unwilling to leave.

"Cao An, I'm surprised to see you."

"Tiemian, I'm surprised to see you too."

Tie Mian was surprised that Cao An would show up, while Cao An was surprised by his true appearance.

After taking off the mask, this young man with a naive appearance could not feel the temperament of a killer even if he frowned.

Just a proper boy next door.

Unable to bear it anymore, Cao An could only ask: "Why did you wear a mask in Shangjiang City and take it off again here?"

"My father said that my appearance is not majestic enough to lead the group of people in the Privy Council. So this time I come out, I want to exercise."

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but this person took off his mask and his aura seemed to be a little weak.

Indeed, with the face of a younger brother, most of the majesty disappears in an instant. It is normal to go out to show off one's face this time.

"What about Cao Shuixiu? Why are you here?"

"Uh, I'm actually..." Cao An hesitated.

Should he tell this person directly that he secretly went out to do personal things during a paid business trip?
  Wouldn't it be a little bad if these words were reported back to the court?
  Cao An's hesitation didn't last long. Seeing his expression, Tiemian immediately helped him figure it out.

"I understand, it's the Holy Emperor's secret mission, right? Cao Shuixiu doesn't need to tell me clearly, I understand."

"Well, that's about right, as long as you understand."

"Well, the Bailang Army is also implementing a secret plan. You must be cooperating. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Tiemian still admired him so much.

Cao An gave a dry laugh, as long as you can explain it yourself, I can do it.

"By the way Tiemian, you heard what happened just now, right?"

"I heard it. I saw so many people rushing to the bottom cabin, so I followed them secretly and took a look."

"Well, have you found any suspicious persons?" Cao An asked expectantly.

The Iron Mask is the secret agent of the Privy Council, and their ability to observe the enemy's situation is not weak. Although these hundreds of guests are scattered throughout the ship, they are so hidden that it is difficult to distinguish their identities.

But those who look suspicious can still be distinguished.

After hearing this, Tie Mian nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, I have been watching her behavior, it is very suspicious."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"That Taoist woman."

Perhaps it was due to hostility, or perhaps the Bailang Army had specifically warned them.

In short, after Tie Mian got on the boat, he paid great attention to the whereabouts of the Taoist woman.

I've been on the boat for a few days, holding the compass in my hands and talking about it every day.

Tie Mian deliberately passed by her and heard the words "It's over, the ship is going to sink", which was very suspicious.

Cao An raised his eyebrows. Who directly mentioned that the ship would sink? Is this case solved so easily?

Some didn't believe it, but he still decided to take the guards on the holy ship and go there for questioning.

I didn't expect that they had just approached.

This woman, who looked timid and weak, had already sighed one step ahead: "There is danger on the ship, right?"

"Um, yes, you know about this?"

The woman's face darkened: "You know, I am the murderer."

Cao An:? ? ?
