Lu Qingfan is at the observation deck.

He stared at the broken wooden pole without saying a word for a long time. There must be some clues that they were not aware of and had been ignored.

Boss Lei, Ban Youwei, Boss Peng, the missing Mrs. Peng and Miss Chunhua, and even the innocent and wrongly killed slave Aye... There is an invisible thread between them, quietly connecting everything.

"Master Lu!"

Yun Xi went up to the observation deck, her clear eyes filled with light: "I know!"

"What do you know?" Lu Qingfan asked in confusion.

"I know what the murder weapon is." Yun Xi stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "It's a fly whisk!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Qingfan's eyes narrowed: "You mean, the murderer is among Taoist Master Xu Xian and his party?"

On this ship, only the Taoist priests were using whisks.

"I was obsessed with it before, and I have been thinking about making homemade ropes, but I have never thought that a fly whisk can be twisted into a rope."

Yun Xi told what happened when she met Xiaoxu Xin, and explained: "'Golden Silk' is not real silk."

How can silkworms spit out "golden threads"?

"It is a kind of linen. Because it is thin and easy to break, it is often mixed with silk and satin to make clothes. It is very clear and cool. Many experts use 'golden silk' as a whisk. It usually looks white, but its color changes in the sun.

Translucent and very magical.”

However, the cost of making "golden silk" is extremely high, and it is extremely difficult to obtain a "golden silk" whisk unless you are a highly respected person.

"Since it is thin and easy to break, how can it be made into a rope?" Lu Qingfan frowned. He had also heard about this "golden silk", and it was exactly what Yun Xi said.

"The world only knows one thing, but not the other. The 'golden silk' is really easy to tear when scattered in three or five pieces, but if it is twisted into a rope and made into a ball, it will be as tough as steel but still as silk.

As soft as satin.”

Yun Xi emphasized in a deep voice: "This is the real reason why the 'Golden Silk' whisk is extremely expensive."

Because it is not only a whisk, but also a weapon for masters to fight against.

Lu Qingfan was suddenly enlightened. In just a few moments, he suddenly had an idea. What he had not understood before was suddenly solved.

"Yes, yes. We always thought the murderer was one person. If there were two or three people, it would make sense."

Someone collects the remnants of the murder weapon, and someone seduces people's vision. Naturally, the murderer who is about to kill can remain invisible in front of the patrolling boatman and pass unimpeded.

"We still lack evidence." Lu Qingfan said solemnly: "Evidence that will make the murderer unable to defend himself."

"Isn't the evidence readily available?"

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were fixed on the broken wooden pole of the observation tower, "That's it."

Yun Xi just said that only the "golden silk" twisted into a single thread can be strong and durable... The hidden advantages of this "weapon" will also become shortcomings that make criminals active.

Lu Qingfan followed Yun Xi's gaze and faced the rising sun. The strands of "golden silk" shone with colorful light at the broken part of the wooden pole.

"Lift it up, hey!"

"Hold the rope and go up, hey!"

…

Accompanied by the boatmen's calls, the huge new boat pole was lifted to the second deck, the long sail was raised again, and it sailed towards the other side of Jigong against the rising sun.

"It's dawn." Yun Xi murmured.

Facing the sea breeze, Lu Qingfan did not look at the sea, but looked at the little woman's profile, and whispered: "Yes."

The two stood on the deck and whispered a few words, and the sound of the hunting wind hid their conversation.

Once the mystery of the murder weapon is solved, searching for evidence becomes much easier.

Leng Hai and Leng Chuan bent over and picked up the "golden silk" from the three crime sites inch by inch, and put it into Lu Qingfan's hands.

During this period, Yun Xi compared the wound marks of the deceased again; Lu Qingfan went to Granny Yan Ling's room and saw the words "Dead people, people are going to die again" written in black ink all over the wall. The shocking scene will not be described in detail.

.

When everyone gathered in the wing, Lu Qingfan looked at the "golden silk" coiled in his hand and said to everyone: "I spent three days on the ship to examine the three dead, two others were missing, and one was killed by mistake. Now.

The truth is about to be revealed. Everyone, please follow me to catch the culprit."

Master and servant Yun Xi, the Leng brothers, and Hua Jianying, who had not spoken since the manslaughter incident, all followed Lu Qingfan to the cabin dining room on the second floor above ground.

There, Taoist priest Xu Xian and his party were gathering together to have a meal.

"My pig head meat has been stewed all night long! It's soft and rotten off the bones, and it's so delicious!" The chubby Xuyou's face was rosy, and he was not affected by the successive deaths on the ship at all.

Taoist priest Xu Xian, who has an extraordinary appearance, holds a fly whisk in his hand, and his eyes are full of tolerance for his junior brother: "Old Taotie."

"Hehe, it is precisely because Senior Brother Xuyou is a glutton that we are so lucky!"

Xiao Xuxin winked playfully, and his senior brother Xu Jing looked at the little guy dotingly, and silently rubbed Xu Xin's little ball head.

Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Xu Xian whispered: "Eat."

After he spoke, the other three dared to take action.

Xu Xian only took two bites and then put down his chopsticks. Xu You said angrily: "Elder brother, why don't you use more? Isn't it delicious?"

"No, it's delicious."

Xuyou's fat face was startled, and he yelled exaggeratedly: "Wow, this is the first time that senior brother has praised the meal I made! Is it really delicious?"

"Really." Xu Xian smiled gently: "This is the first time I discovered that it is so delicious."

Lu Qingfan and his party were waiting outside the door until the four of them had finished the reunion dinner, and then they walked in.

"Good appetite, everyone." Lu Qingfan glanced at the leftovers on the table and said in a strange voice, "It's not affected by the murder at all."

"Harm, the murderer won't kill us, so why should we be affected?" Xuyou said casually.

"How do you know the criminal won't kill you?" Lu Qingfan asked sharply.

Xu You was shocked to realize that something was wrong. He looked at Xu Xian in the air and hurriedly explained: "What Pindao means is that the murderer killed all bad people..."

"How did Taoist Master Xuyou know that Boss Lei and his party were all bad people? Didn't you accidentally get on Boss Lei's passenger ship after you missed the boat?"

"No, Pindao means that with adults protecting us, we are naturally safe. We should eat and drink..."

Faced with Lu Qingfan's aggressive questioning, Xuyou kept getting more and more wrong. He scratched his head anxiously: "Oh, I'm just talking nonsense, Mr. Lu, don't take it seriously!"

"Three people died, how can we not be serious?" Lu Qingfan's eyes darkened slightly: "If you know about it and don't report it, you will be punished with the same crime as the murderer."

Xuyou's fat face twitched twice and fell silent.

Although Xuyou was full of mistakes, Yunxi's attention was also attracted by Taoist Xuxian who was sitting on the chair as motionless as Mount Tai.

Looking back now, Taoist Master Xu Xian was the only one who showed up on the day when the class teacher died. After that, whenever we met him, he was basically sitting down.

"Your Excellency, you don't catch the culprit, and you keep embarrassing the poor Taoist brother. Why?" Xu Jing, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked, "Does the government care if we eat more or less?"

Xu Jing has always been taciturn. After three days of sailing, Lu Qingfan and his party actually heard him speak for the first time.

"Of course we don't care if you eat more or less. But the government has to take care of the murderer."

Could it be that Lu Qingfan was dismissed by a few words? He looked at the four people with sharp eyes and said calmly: "I would also like you Taoist priests to stand up and give me a whisk to take a look at."

It was okay not to mention the whisk, but as soon as the whisk was mentioned, several people from the Xu family set their sights on Xu Xian.

Among the four Taoist priests, only Xu Xian did not even leave his hand with the whisk while eating!

"Master Lu, this whisk is our treasure for viewing. Only the master of the temple owns it. I'm afraid I can't just lend it to you for viewing." Xu Jing spoke again.

Lu Qingfan smiled instead of getting angry when he heard this, "It's better this way, let's borrow it for a look."

Almost, Yun Xi secretly thought.
