188 Secret Investigation

"Nothing." In an instant, Xie Xuan had already restrained her eyes, withdrew her gaze, and smiled faintly at Xie Chen.

Xie Chen frowned, still having doubts in his heart, but Xie Xuan pulled him, "Let's go!"

Xie Chen was pulled out by her, but she didn't see it. The moment Xie Xuan left, she turned her head quietly and glanced quietly in the direction where the two of them had just left. She saw them carrying the bamboo basket into a cabin, with deep eyes, as if they were bottomless.

It is the end of the month, and there is no moon today. The wind in the river is gentle and the sound of flowing water can be heard vaguely.

It was late at night, and the people on the entire boat seemed to have fallen asleep and were silent.

A slender figure wrapped in a black night clothes, flew lightly over the deck like a butterfly, easily avoiding the night patrol boatman, rushed into the cargo hold, and then opened the door of a cabin, flashed in, familiar with the road.

It was a narrow cabin, located next to the kitchen, perhaps it was specially built to store debris. In the small space, there were rice, grain, meat, vegetables, and some firewood.

The figure looked like lightning, and he was surfing the room with the unknown night. Soon, he locked his target, walked away quickly, and pulled apart the green spinach piled in a bamboo basket full of vegetables. Sure enough, he saw the vegetable leaves covering it, revealing a jar, bent down and sniffed it, and suddenly passed by in a hurry. It was indeed nothing wrong, it was turmeric oil.

The person coming is not someone else, it is Xie Xuan.

Just now, when passing by the two boatmen carrying bamboo baskets, Xie Xuan keenly smelled the smell of tinder oil. You know, the boats are made of wood at this time, and the fire is most avoided. When cooking on weekdays, they are always careful and careful, so where can they prepare any tinder oil?

What's more, if the bamboo basket is just a basket of vegetables, how could it sink like that? Xie Xuan had seen the steps of the two boatmen, and the weight of the bamboo basket that could knock out was definitely much heavier than that of a basket of vegetables.

When the two hatchbacks were added together, she naturally became suspicious.

Although she knows to protect herself, she should not worry about the other people's business. But firstly, Ye Jingxuan will not mention that Hua Yanran treats her really well. If she has something, Xie Xuan really can't do anything to stand by and watch. Secondly, she and Xie Chen are now on this ship. Ye Jingxuan and the others are grasshoppers on this rope. The matter of tincture can be big or small. If there is something really, she and Xie Chen may not be able to keep themselves alone.

After thinking about it, she decided to go this trip and come quietly to find out. If she didn't figure it out first, she would go to Ye Jingxuan and tell him where could she win the trust.

The smell of tinea oil in this cabin is very strong. It is just locked in this cabin and cannot be easily exposed. It is mixed with various other smells. If it weren't for someone with a keen sense of smell, it would be impossible to smell it.

What's more, this place is in the corner of the bottom cabin, and if it weren't for the kitchen, there were very few people coming and going.

After she left the cabin, she went to inquire. The original chef on the ship suddenly started vomiting and diarrhea a few days ago. The manager was worried that he had been infected with the epidemic. If it infected the people on the ship, it would be amazing.

After reporting back to Uncle Qian, when he arrived in Wannian Town, he took the chef off the boat and placed it in an inn, and asked a boatman to stay for care. Then he temporarily summoned a couple who were helping the chef in the tavern to cook on the boat.

It seems...this problem lies with the new chef.

Xie Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light in the apricot outside the black towel, covering the vegetables that had been pulled apart again. Then, soon found several jars in the pile of debris, all with the smell of tinder oil...

With so much tincture, no matter who the person behind it is or what he wants to do, he can understand it very well.

However... Xie Xuan thought of something, her eyes suddenly condensed. Before she could think about it, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cabin, which could not tolerate her thinking too much. She rushed to the cabin door in three or two steps, opened the cabin door, and the person rushed out.

But it was too late to run into two boatmen in person. The two men were caught off guard, but Xie Xuan was prepared for a long time. In just a few moves, she had already cut the two men to the ground, but there was still a sound during the fight.

When Xie Xuan heard the sound on the boat, she couldn't help but frown. Without thinking too much, she hurriedly covered herself and rushed out of the bottom cabin.

The entire boat woke up from his sleep in an instant.

Xie Xuan used the shadow to cover her body and slowly walked towards the main cabin. She faintly heard Ye Jingxuan ask in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Then Uncle Qian also said in a bad tone, "A person entered the bottom cabin, Feng Qiang and Wang Hu were knocked unconscious at the kitchen door."

Ye Jingxuan naturally ordered the entire ship to search. Xie Xuan had no choice but to jump out of the side of the ship, grab it on the side, move inch by inch towards the main cabin, and under her feet was the tumbling river water.

And near, there were the scattered footsteps, and the searchers were so close.

Advance and retreat are all crisis. If someone discovers her at this time, she will not be able to wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River.

Finally, she arrived at the cabin where she and Xie Chen lived. She freed up a hand, took out a short dagger that never left her body from her waist, pried open the window, and then got into the narrow window.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, he saw Xie Chen on the bed awake, staring at her with wide eyes, holding the pillow tightly in his hand, as if he was considering whether to throw it off her.

Xie Xuan quickly pulled down the masked black scarf and put her index finger on her lips, "Shh! Achen! It's me!"

Xie Chen put down the pillow in his hand, but he looked shocked, "Sister Qi!"

"Dongdongdongdongdong!" Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, there were heavy knocks on the door.

"Here you come! It's so late, who?" The person inside the door was a little dissatisfied in his tone. Then, the door was opened. The door was yawning inside. The person with a sleepy look suddenly widened his eyes and said in shock, "Young Master Ye?"

Isn’t it Ye Jingxuan the one who is leading the door?

He obviously had already rested and got up hurriedly, his hair was a little messy, but he just put on a cloak outside his bedclothes, his eyes were calm and he stared at Xie Xuan.

Not only him was here, but behind him, there were a bunch of people standing there. Uncle Qian, the leader, looked at Xie Xuan, with his face full of alertness and scrutiny.

Xie Xuan yawned back and then calmed her face before softening her tone, "What are you doing?"

Ye Jingxuan looked at Xie Xuan. She was wearing an ordinary bedding and casually wore an outer dress. Although she was thinner, she could not see any of the delicate appearance of a woman, which made Ye Jingxuan, the insider, secretly admire her.

Ye Jingxuan didn't speak for a moment, but Uncle Qian frowned and said, "Didn't Brother Xie hear such a big noise outside?"
