Chapter 34 Mysteries abound

"...What a fool! Let that jealous bitch die!"

Before Yun Xi and his party reached the door of Peng Rong's wing, they heard Peng Rong's curses coming from inside: "I don't need your protection, let's go, let's go! You hurry up and leave!"

Lu Qingfan quickened his pace. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the overturned table. The floor was full of broken cups. Peng Rong was sitting on the soft couch beside him, breathing heavily. Leng Hai and an unfamiliar boatman both had expressions on their faces.

Angry.

He raised his hand to stop Yun Xi's master and servant who was about to come in, and reminded him in a low voice: "Watch your step."

Yun Xi lowered her head and took a look, okay, this Boss Peng is just as Boss Lei said, he is a arrogant and extravagant master: the set of tea cups on the floor are fine Jingdezhen white jade bone china, a set can be sold for at least a thousand taels of silver, so it is still valuable.

Good stuff without a market.

A waste of natural resources.

Looking at Boss Peng again, Yun Xi's eyes were full of contempt for this rough and upstart man.

"Sir, Miss Yun." Leng Hai looked embarrassed. He stepped forward and saluted and then whispered: "Boss Peng is unwilling to reveal Mrs. Peng's possible hiding place."

After saying that, Leng Hai rolled his eyes.

Yun Xi squatted down and observed the broken tea cup, her clear eyes focused and clear.

"Boss Peng, why are you so angry?" Lu Qingfan glanced at the boatman and said warmly: "Thank you, let's take over from Boss Peng."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll take my leave." The boatman smiled honestly, with a row of white teeth showing on his dark red face, and simply left.

Facing Lu Qingfan, Peng Rong was a little frightened. He stood up with a shy stomach: "Master Lu, I don't understand. Do merchants and prostitutes need government permission? Or do you even have to deal with the inner affairs of my Peng family?"

Intervene?"

Lu Qingfan was never an easy person to get along with. Before he could say a word, his sword had overturned the side table, which frightened Boss Peng so much that he almost slipped off the soft couch without being able to sit still.

Leng Hai was amused by the fierce appearance of this guy and immediately stepped forward to "support" the fat man, not forgetting to warn him: "Boss Peng, please sit tight."

He used some secret force on his hand, and the pain made Boss Peng dare not speak out in anger. He bared his teeth and said in a plaintive voice: "There is something good to say! There is something good to say!"

Lu Qingfan crossed his arms and said calmly: "I guess Boss Peng hasn't figured it out yet. There is a murderer lurking on the ship who may kill someone at any time."

He took a step closer to Peng Rong: "Maybe I will kill Mrs. Peng, or maybe I will kill you."

Peng Rong's pupils shrank and he said in panic: "I really don't know that bitch...where is she!"

"I know." After checking the tea cups and looking at the decoration of the wing, Yun Xi raised her voice and said, "Sir, let's go?"

It was important to find someone. Lu Qingfan stopped dawdling and gave Leng Hai a look, "Let Boss Peng clean up the floor and don't bother others. Just keep an eye on him."

"Yes!" Leng Hai immediately beamed, he liked this job!

Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan walked in front, and Qingguo, who was carrying a small bundle on his back, walked behind. The group walked through the long corridor and arrived at the ground floor.

"The wing room where the Peng family and his wife live is decorated separately. Some small items are unique to Jingdezhen and are not found on the ship... I am afraid that the set of Jingdezhen tea cups was also prepared by Mrs. Peng. She must have rented another wing room here.

"

Yun Xi paused: "Because, there are two tea cups missing."

No matter how bad Mrs. Peng was, she was used to enjoying herself. Before she left, she took away two teacups to drink water.

Qingguo said "Hey", "The tea cup is broken. How did the lady see it?"

"You mean, these white jade bone china are eight tea cups?" Lu Qingfan said clearly.

"Yes." Yun Xi has used it before and knows that tea cups of this grade must be eight in four pairs.

Lu Qingfan deduced: "Mrs. Peng is very angry in front of Peng Rong. She probably doesn't have enough money to get a good wing. She will most likely live in an ordinary wing."

It must be on the ground floor.

Yun Xi nodded.

Without saying a word, the three of them knocked on the doors of all the ordinary rooms, not even sparing the boatman who was resting inside.

When everyone stands at the door of their respective rooms, it will be clear which house is open and which house is occupied.

Facing the puzzled looks of the young Taoist priests, the boat girls and the boatmen, Lu Qingfan raised his voice and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. You can go back and rest."

Fortunately, the unoccupied guest rooms in the large passenger ship were not locked. The three of them easily eliminated the unoccupied rooms, and finally stood in front of a cabin that did not open the door and did not twist the door lock.

"I'm afraid this is it." Yun Xi had an ominous premonition in her heart, so she put on her shoes and sheepskin gloves in advance.

She and Lu Qingfan exchanged glances, and Lu Qingfan raised his foot and kicked open the door.

Half of the door's panel is broken, making it much easier to remove the lock.

The three of them entered the room smoothly and immediately saw two white jade bone china tea cups of the same style on the table.

"As expected, you are here! Miss, you are so amazing!" Qingguo said in admiration.

The water in the tea cup has cooled down and there is food in the room. Mrs. Peng must have been gone for a while.

What was surprising was what Lu Qingfan said next: "The door was locked, and there was no key on the wall."

"Miss, there's no one in the room." Qingguo's voice came from inside: "I've looked around all over the place, but there is indeed no one."

Yun Xi stood up straight from the table: "Is it a secret room?"

"Can people disappear out of thin air?" Lu Qingfan pondered for a moment and said nothing about the strange power and confusion. He didn't believe this.

"Yunxi, please look for clues."

"yes."

The two of them worked separately. Yun Xi took out homemade powder and rubbed the handprints on the tea cup, hoping that if a second person's handprints appeared in the room, Mrs. Peng would not disappear out of thin air.

However, she looked everywhere she could, even sprayed the entire room with blood test grass, closed all the curtains and checked... there was nothing.

"No second person has entered this room." Yun Xi hesitated: "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Lu Qingfan looked at the clueless wing, his expression becoming serious.

"Unless the person who took Mrs. Peng away was very skilled and defeated the enemy with one move, so he didn't leave any clues in the room."

Yun Xi looked at the broken door lock: "If this is the case, locking the door from inside the house is the easiest operation."

"How do you say that?" Lu Qingfan frowned, "Everyone is outside, how can we close the door?"

"Just use tools."

In order to prove this statement, Yun Xi used her almost transparent silk sutures, long knife blades, and some strange small objects that Lu Qingfan had not expected in an empty room to demonstrate at least five kinds of "no one is there"

But can lock the door" operation.

"So that's it." Lu Qingfan was still proud, "The people on the ship must have quietly taken away Mrs. Peng."

As for the murderer's purpose of taking her away, it is unknown whether the person who took her away is the same person who killed the class teacher.

One mystery was solved, but more mysteries were ushered in.

Carrying a tangled mystery, the three of them left the cabin on the ground floor. When they arrived at the cabin on the ground floor, they suddenly saw several bloody large characters on the corridor in the cabin: Someone will die tonight.

Blood flowed down the cracks in the cabin in a ferocious pattern, and the aura of death enveloped the entire corridor.

The boatman on patrol found it and did not dare to come forward. When he saw Lu Qingfan and his entourage arriving, his face showed a rare relief.

"Master Lu, we only discovered this when we first arrived! It's obviously not here yet in the morning!"

Lu Qingfan nodded: "Not when we just left."

Yun Xi wiped the blood from a corner of the handwriting and gently twisted it with her fingertips. She smelled it again and said to Lu Qingfan, "It's chicken blood. The person who wrote it didn't leave long ago."

Qingguo slapped his head: "I know who did it!"

Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan said in unison: "Grandma Yan Ling."
