Chapter 30 Kick Peng Rong into submission

Yun Xi still clearly remembers the look she looked back when she left the second deck yesterday: the class teacher had a red face and held a wine cup, smiling heartily.

In just one night, that honest and rough man was dead.

"I understand." Yun Xi returned to the inner room, put on the green outfit, and said while putting her hair into a neat bun, "Please lead the way."

"I asked Leng Hai and Leng Chuan to control the place where the crime occurred and no one was allowed to approach." On the way, Lu Qingfan whispered: "The person died in the wing."

The merchant ship was quite large. After the incident, Lu Qingfan went to touch the structure of the ship.

Counting from their level is the underground floor, where the ferry tickets are the most expensive and the cabins are the best. There are two floors below: the second underground floor is divided into two rooms, one for storing goods and the other for the general store where the ship's groceries are stored.

Of course, the wine cellar for storing wine is placed in a small compartment in the utility room.

The three underground floors are slave rooms. These slaves are traded from north to south and are considered a type of goods.

"The first floor above ground mainly houses ordinary boat passengers and some boatmen, and the rooms of Mr. Lei and the class instructor are also there. The second floor above ground is for dining, and the third floor above ground is a specially built observation deck."

The captain and helmsman of the ship occasionally go up to explore the sea surface and observe the weather.

After Lu Qingfan finished speaking, the three of them had already reached the corridor on the first floor.

Knowing that someone had died on the ship, the corridor in front of the front room of the class teacher was crowded with boat passengers who came to watch the fun. Their chattering voices gave the corridor a sense of suffocation of death.

Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan both stopped in agreement, wanting to hear what they would say while no one was paying attention to them.

"Why did someone die, even the head coach! Boss Lei, you have to give us an explanation!" Boss Peng looked furious at Boss Lei, showing no trace of the "brotherhood" of last night.

"If you can't guarantee your life even if you go out, who will dare to take your boat in the future?"

"It's so scary. We sisters will never dare to do your boss Lei's business again!" The pretty women also echoed.

Boss Lei yelled with a livid face: "Have you said enough?! The matter has not been investigated clearly, what are you talking about here!"

He glared at Boss Peng and said angrily to the woman: "Do it as you like or not, and see if you don't accept my business, who else on the sea will accept your business!"

The woman seemed to have been stabbed in her weakness, and she said with a smile: "Oh Brother Lei, the slave family was just scared by the dead, don't take it to heart..."

"That's not a dead man, he's my brother, Ban, You, Wei." Boss Lei replied firmly.

Almost there.

Yun Xi raised her eyes to look at Lu Qingfan, and the two looked at each other in tacit understanding.

If I don't come out to take charge of the situation, I'm afraid there will be a big mess.

Coincidentally, Lu Qingfan thought the same as her.

He said loudly: "Everyone, give way, Wu Zuo is here."

Everyone separated, making way for one person to pass through in the narrow corridor.

"Thank you."

Yun Xi and Qing Guo walked quickly. As they passed the Taoist priests, the little Taoist curiously reached out and poked the big bundle Qing Guo was carrying.

Qingguo paused, lowered his head and looked at the little Taoist priest. The little Taoist priest was not afraid and winked mischievously with his black eyes.

"Be modest and don't make trouble." The older Taoist priest next to the little Taoist quickly held the little guy's arm and smiled apologetically at Qingguo.

"A widower?"

"Pfft, can a cute little girl know how to do an autopsy? Don't cry when you see the corpse!"

The gorgeous women with their clothes hanging on their shoulders did not dare to offend Mr. Lei and turned to Yun Xi, staring at her with a gaze that could not be called friendly.

Yun Xi kept walking, nodded and responded to them: "I can test. If you test too much, you won't feel like vomiting."

The serious look on her answer made several women stop talking.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the class teacher's room, Boss Peng's fat body suddenly blocked the door: "You said it was a fraud, it was a fraud? If you want an autopsy, do an autopsy? Who knows if you are the murderer who wants to go in and destroy the evidence?"

Leng Chuan behind him didn't say a word, he just raised his foot and kicked him!

Fat Peng Rong's body suddenly plunged to the opposite side of the corridor, making a muffled "thud" sound when it hit the cabin!

Several women on both sides who had dodged in time held their heads and screamed "Ahhhh" for fear of harming innocent people.

Lu Qingfan took out a token from his waist and carried it to Peng Rong.

Peng Rong, who was about to get angry, opened his eyes wide and saw clearly that there was a big word "punishment" written on the token!

It’s the Ministry of Punishment token!

"I am about to go to the capital to serve as the Minister of Criminal Affairs; Yun Xi is a coworker recruited by the Qingzhou Criminal Investigation Department. Investigate murder cases, conduct autopsies, and capture the murderers. Peng Rong, are we qualified?"

Lu Qingfan's plain statement was full of sarcasm, and several young Taoist priests couldn't help but secretly smile.

How arrogant Peng Rong was just now, how much he was slapped in the face now. He never expected to meet a fourth-rank official from the Ministry of Punishment in a merchant ship... or such a young fourth-rank official.

"If you want to investigate, you can investigate. Why do you still allow your subordinates to kick people?" Peng Rong got up and said with a pinched neck.

"My foot slipped, I'm sorry." Leng Chuan can be said to be a model of "flexible and flexible". He kicked someone with his front foot and apologized without changing his face... although he had no intention of changing at all.

The cold black eyes were still staring at Peng Rong. Lu Qingfan's intimidating and frosty aura shrouded Peng Rong, and he could barely write the words "I accept or not" on his face.

After being kicked, how could Peng Rong dare to refuse? He held his fists respectfully and motioned for them to come in.

"You're asking for trouble." Boss Lei snorted angrily.

Lu Qingfan's eyes swept over Boss Lei meaningfully.

Boss Lei, who just didn't reveal his identity and didn't stop Peng Rong from causing trouble, just watched the conflict between the two parties and waited for him to suppress Peng Rong before speaking out, was not simple-minded either.

By the time Peng Rong was kicked away, Yun Xi's master and servant had already entered the class teacher's wing and ignored the commotion outside.

Leng Hai stood next to the corpse, raised his hands and said in assurance: "Miss Yun, I didn't move anything, I still came in wearing shoe covers!" As he said this, he also raised his feet in cooperation.

Since seeing Yun Xi's complete set of equipment last time, Leng Hai also prepared one for each of his master and brother.

No, it all came in handy today.

"The sea guard has a heart."

Yun Xi praised her, but her attention had long been attracted by the corpse half lying on the bed: the lower body of the class teacher was on the ground, and the upper body was lying face down on the bed, motionless.

The small hand covered with sheepskin gloves fell on the back of the class teacher and whispered: "Sure enough."

"Sure enough?" Lu Qingfan took care of the thorny Peng Rong, put on his shoe covers and strode into the wing where the crime took place.

Inside the room, Yun Xi pointed at the back of the class teacher: "He broke a vertebra. If I guessed correctly, he died of suffocation."

"That's a good guess." Lu Qingfan praised.

"My lord also moved the corpse deliberately to make it look like it was before death, right?" Yun Xi tilted her head and asked.
