Chapter 46: Murder
"Miss Nellie, if you're not mistaken, you were alone in the hotel when you received the letter. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because Zuoan has a reason to go in this crusade mission of the mountain dragon, but you are not 'qualified' to stay by his side. This is the missing bond between you. Zuoan is destined to achieve some deeds that his predecessors can't do in the future, but what about yourself, have you found the 'qualifications' to continue to stay by Zuo'an's side? If not, then get out of his way, or you'll be the two of you. It's up to you what you think, respectfully. The letter was full of some very hurtful words, and every word was inserted into Nari's heart.
After reading the letter, Nari was in a very low mood, and the soothsayer's words in the letter had made it clear that she would be a drag on her and Zoan. She wanted to go out on the street for a while, and as soon as she opened the door of the room, she happened to meet Zoan, who was just about to open the door and come in.
"You're back, Zoan." Nelly who put on a far-fetched smile, but Zoan didn't carefully study Nelly's smile now, because Zoan hadn't been able to deal with his own thoughts, "Well, I'm back, are you going to go out." ”
"Well, it's so stuffy to hold back in the room, I want to go out shopping and breathe."
"Do you want me to stay with you?"
"No need, you just come back from hunting, rest for a while, I'll be back soon, let's go down for dinner when we come back."
"Okay, then you pay attention to safety, I'll sleep for a while."
"Yes."
As she walked down the street, she didn't even bother to look at the stalls on both sides of the streets of Moga Village, the shouts, the bargains, the clatter of the hunter's armor as she walked, and now she didn't seem to hear them. She didn't notice how long she had been shopping, and when she came back to her senses, it was completely dark, and the surrounding shops were lit with oil lamps.
Let's go back, she dragged her tired body back to the hotel room. Zoan is still asleep, he must be very tired today, he can sleep so deeply after sleeping for so long, Nari touched Zoan's forehead, this sleeping face she has seen many times but not this time is so down-guarded.
It's tiring to be a human being, and it's even more tiring to be a person who often carries 'armor', and Nari fell asleep thinking about it.
The next day, both of them got up very early, and after breakfast, the two came to the pier, and the plan to play for a few days was also in the mood after the soup, even if the scenery was good, there was no corresponding mood to enjoy it was just floating clouds.
"Goodbye Moga." Nari shouted at the village behind her, and the villagers of Moga gave her the most sincere smile when they heard the shout.

On the boat back, neither of them spoke much, Zoan lying on the top bunk and Nari on the bottom bunk. In fact, neither of them has fallen asleep, and it should be said that neither of them can sleep. One is thinking about his bizarre life experience, and the other is thinking that he will drag down his lover's future.
"Ahh A shrill female voice came through the door, and both of them woke up from their beds, something must have happened on the ship, "You stay here, I'll go out first to see what's going on." Zoan jumped from the top bunk, this height is not difficult for a hunter, and before she could get a reply from Nari, Zoan had already grabbed her weapon and ran out.
Zoan, who ran out of the room, saw a group of people gathered in front of a certain room, and it seemed that the place where the incident happened was there, so Zoan hurriedly ran over and asked a man in the crowd who was closer to him.
"I heard from the person in front that there was a murder, and a girl was killed with a knife...... "The man saw that Zuo An was also carrying a knife behind him, and it seemed that he was going to say something later, but he refused to say any more, Zuo An had no choice but to squeeze into the crowd and confirm it himself.
A female corpse lay across the wooden planks on the ground, and from the outside, it looked like she had been abused to death with a knife that had been slashed dozens of times. Zoan, who has seen monster blood countless times, also feels uncomfortable with this scene at the moment, gastric juice is pouring out, Zoan hurriedly got out of the crowd, and breathed heavily while leaning against the wall in the aisle.
"This murderer must have abusive tendencies or want to cover up some ulterior things, otherwise the knife on the neck of the female corpse is fatal enough, and the other knife marks are not fatal at all." Zoan sparsely heard Captain Fishman's words.
————
"After several doctors at the scene, it was determined that the deceased died under a long knife, and the time of death was not long ago, about two hours ago." From the deck, the captain announced to the passengers, "In view of these circumstances, passengers with long knives on board please do not leave your room for the time being, if you do not want to arouse suspicion." ”
After the captain finished speaking, several sailor-like men invited the boatman with the long knife back to the room, and Zoan was no exception. Seeing that Zoan was brought back to the room by a sailor, Nari asked puzzledly, "What happened outside just now, why did Mr. Sailor come with him?" ”
"There was a homicide on board, a woman died tragically on deck, and the passengers with long knives were forbidden to go out until the real killer was investigated." So said the sailor.
"Murder!?"
Nellie seemed to be shocked by this, and her first thought was that it was fortunate that it was not Zoan who had an accident, but this was just a matter of worry, and how could something happen to Zoan for no reason if she had been with her all the time. But this can also be regarded as a matter of concern, and Nari can be regarded as knowing that she still cares about Zoan very much.
"It's okay, isn't it just that you are not allowed to go out until the murderer is found, anyway, it is not in the way in the house, so bear with it." Zoan said lightly, and he turned back to the sailor and said, "Mr. Sailor, thank you for sending me here, for I will stay in this house from now on, and you should go back and report to the captain." ”
The sailor spread his hands, "I would also like to go back now, but the captain has orders, I must guard around this room, lest the murderer appear and let him go again." ”
"Then Mr. Sailor, you can continue to keep watch, and I will go back to the room first." Despite Zoan's apologetic expression, he wasn't idle enough to continue chatting with the sailor, and he needed to think about his background again.
————
"What's going on with this murder?" As soon as Zoan closed the door, Nari couldn't wait to ask Zoan.
"It seems to be an abusive murderer, there are many knife marks on that corpse, but so many of them are not fatal, only the one in the neck is." As soon as Nelly asked about this, Zoan put on a very serious expression, "Or maybe this murderer is not a sadist at all, but deliberately made so many knife wounds to cover up something." It's like a demon knife is going to try the knife. ”
