80: Life and death doubts
"Hundred Flower Thieves?"
Cheng Li trembled slightly, and asked, "Why do you want me to help catch the Hundred Flowers Thief? Why do you think this person is on the boat?"
Leng Yuxiang sighed: "The boat we are taking now actually has only one purpose, which is to travel between the land and the sea, send guests over, and then send them back.
Therefore, every guest who gets on the ship must verify their identity with an invitation card before they can board the ship - of course, Cheng Gongzi, you are an exception.
The guests who boarded the ship this time, Miao Gang, Yidaozhai, Meizhu Shuangjian couple, and Fenglangjun, all of them had invitations, and there was no problem with their identities. But just now, when my eldest sister and I were about to put away these invitations, we found that I don't know when there was an extra invitation. And this extra invitation card is signed as 'Hundred Flowers Thief'. ”
Cheng Li frowned and said, "If it's a guest, then it's nothing, right?"
Leng Yuxiang's eyes showed a hint of shrinkage, and said, "If he takes the invitation card on the boat openly, then he is not afraid." Can ...... now Who knows what bad intentions he is secretly trying to hide? You know, this man is a notorious flower thief. And our boat is full of girls. ”
Cheng Li frowned, shook his head, and said, "But it's impossible." Because the Hundred Flowers Thief is already dead. ”
Leng Yuxiang was startled and asked, "What? When did he die? Who killed him?"
The person who kills the Hundred Flowers Thief is the Water Dragon Yin. However, the water dragon is one of the four major stalls of the imperial court and belongs to the public status. Whether it is the sale of gold caves at sea, or Hu Yuji herself, she is doing illegal business, and she is naturally on the opposite side of the imperial court.
Moreover, this time the water dragon Yin came on board to investigate the details of the gold cave on the sea. Once the identity is revealed, nine times out of ten, it will invite death. Therefore, not only should you not disclose your identity, but you should try to keep a low profile, and it is best to let others not notice him, so that it is convenient to act.
Based on the above considerations, Cheng Li naturally couldn't confess to the water dragon yin. Therefore, he groaned for a while, and briefly talked about his experience of dealing with the Hundred Flower Thieves not long ago. But the ending part of the matter was deleted by him and changed to his own personal action, which directly killed the Baihua thief.
Leng Yuxiang was shocked and admired when she heard it. After carefully inquiring about a few details, he nodded and said, "That's definitely right." The rumored Hundred Flowers Thief likes to paint pictures on his face the most. And it is extremely light and scheming. In order to start picking flowers, we will make very careful preparations in advance.
Therefore, although the martial arts of this thief are not very high, he can always succeed repeatedly. I don't know how many women have been murdered by him. This time, he folded under the hands of Gongzi, and he finally deserved it. But ......"
Leng Yuxiang frowned, and muttered, "Since the Hundred Flowers Thief is dead. So what kind of person is it, taking his invitation card and getting on the boat. And why did you deliberately put this invitation in secretly?"
Cheng Li said: "Instead of speculating so wildly now, it's better to arrest that guy first, and then interrogate him slowly." Miss Leng, you want me to help, so what kind of charter are you yourself?"
Leng Yuxiang said: "For the time being, we will step up patrols and closely monitor the inside and outside of the ship. But this may only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. After discussing it with my eldest sister, we all agreed that the person who left the invitation card of the Hundred Flowers Thief may be hidden among the guests on the ship. Then I can only ask the son to help keep an eye on it to see who is more suspicious. ”
Cheng Li suddenly asked, "But then again, I am also one of the guests on the ship." Killing a hundred flower thieves or something, it's also just my side of the story, and it's completely unfounded. Why do you believe in me so much, but don't you suspect that I am a thief?"
Leng Yuxiang said with a smile: "This is also true. Since this is the case, then I have to ask the son to prove his innocence. I heard that the Hundred Flower Thieves are talented and have outstanding capital. He is also proficient in the art of warfare. As long as the woman who was once picked by him picked flowers, no matter how much she hated him, she would never forget him.
Since Childe said that he was a thief of flowers, then there is no basis for his words, so it is better to let the little girl verify it herself, how about it?"
Cheng Li originally just felt that Leng Yuxiang trusted him like this, which was a bit unreasonable. But I never expected that I would be countered to the army. For a while, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing Cheng Li's appearance, Leng Yuxiang was in a good mood. I couldn't help but want to tease him again. Standing up at the moment, he moved forward, and said pitifully: "Although they are still yellow flower girls, but for the chastity of our boatload of women, even if we suffer a little loss, there is no way." Oh, Childe, why don't you take it off quickly? Or ...... Do you want someone to help you?"
Even in the face of thousands of troops, Cheng Li can still frown without frowning. But now in the face of a cold Yuxiang, he suddenly broke out sweating profusely, and he felt that he couldn't resist it. Without saying a word, he turned and opened the hatch and walked out.
Leng Yuxiang is a little funny, proud, and a little disappointed. She never imagined that Cheng Li, who kills people without blinking an eye and cuts off his head like mowing grass, would behave so vulnerable in the face of her own offensive.
She shook her head and said with a smile: "Cheng Gongzi, don't be in such a hurry. I don't eat people. "Hurry up and catch up.
He had just crossed the threshold when suddenly, another figure hurried in the hallway. Looking at her dress, she was a sailor on the ship. When she saw Leng Yuxiang, she was overjoyed and shouted: "The second master, the second master, it's terrible!"
The title of the second master, Leng Yuxiang has always disliked it. When Cheng Li heard this title, she felt ashamed and annoyed. Coupled with the sailor's shouting of "the second boss is terrible", it felt even more harsh.
Leng Yuxiang's face sank, and she said angrily: "What are you yelling for?
The sailor hurriedly confessed. Leng Yuxiang then asked, "What happened?"
The sailor looked flustered and stammered: "Coffin, coffin! At the bottom of the cabin, a large number of coffins suddenly appeared!"
Leng Yuxiang was startled, and before she could open her mouth to ask, there was a sudden flicker in front of her eyes, Cheng Li had already turned around and stood beside her, and asked the sailor, "What's going on?"
The sailor was at a loss, and turned his eyes to look at Leng Yuxiang. Leng Yuxiang groaned slightly, and said in a condensed voice: "You just say." Childe is someone we can trust. ”
The sailor nodded, and then said, "The bottom of the cabin was originally a utility room, which was specially used to store some miscellaneous things. Someone wanted to use a rope just now, so they went down and rummaged through it. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, a large number of coffins were immediately seen! No one knew where these coffins came from. ”
