Chapter 11: One More Death

One

Monk Yuan Zhen said lightly: "So we made a mistake - we were wrong from the beginning, and we were wrong to the end!" Superstition and hallucinations make up a nightmare, both because the two deaths were too coincidental! Nangong Jin still said solemnly: "However, you must know that our arguments are all tenable. All in all, I'm a doctor. I know a little bit about suicide. How does Fang Yulong look like a person who will commit suicide? Monk Yuanzhen became suspicious again: "Then you see, will it be an accident?" Shen He snorted, not believing it at all. How can there be such a hellish accident. He muttered. Everyone was silent. Later, Shen He said again: "As for the woman—" He stopped again.

"Mrs. Qin?"

"yes. Could it be an accident? Monk Yuanzhen said: "An accident? What kind of accidents? Shen He was a little embarrassed. The red face that was like a ripe apple turned a little redder a little more. He almost blurted out: "Listen to me, Nangong Jin, you gave her some medicine or something...... Nangong Jin glared at him: "Medicine or something?" What do you mean by that? ”

"Last night, you said you had to give her something to sleep well."

"Yes, yes, I did give her some medicine, but it was a completely harmless sleeping pill."

"To be clear, what is it for?"

"What I gave her was an extremely gentle Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pill, which is definitely beneficial and harmless to the body." Shen He's face turned even redder. He said, "Listen to me – no need to be vague – you overdosed, didn't you?" Nangong Jin immediately got angry: "I don't understand what you mean." Shen He said: "It's not impossible, right? What if you're mistaken? That's what happens sometimes. Nangong Jin hurriedly said, "There is nothing like this." Your statement is ridiculous. He paused and added in a prickly tone, "Do you want to say that I deliberately overdosed her?" ”

Monk Yuanzhen hurriedly interjected and said, "I said, you both have to stay calm. Don't say me, I say yours. Shen He said with a gloomy face: "I'm just saying that Nangong Jin may also make a mistake or something." ”

Nangong Jin forced a smile and bared his teeth, but in fact he didn't smile and said, "Being a doctor can't afford to make such a mistake, my friend." Shen He deliberately said: "If what is said on the picture scroll is correct, this is not the first time you have made such a mistake." Nangong Jin's face suddenly turned pale. Monk Yuanzhen hurriedly intervened again, and said angrily at Shen He: "What do you mean by biting like this? We are all in the same boat now, and we should stick together. What's the deal with your own bloody spewing of false incriminating evidence? Shen He took a step forward, his hands clenched into fists. Even the voice of the speaker is rough. "Fucking false witnesses! Honest and untrustworthy! You're going to try to get me arrested! Monk Yuanzhen, I have some things I want to figure out - one of them is about you! Monk Yuanzhen's eyebrows furrowed: "About me?" ”

"Yes, it's about you! I want to know, why do you bring such a dangerous secret weapon when a person like you, who is not a monk for a short time, comes out to visit friends? ”

Monk Yuanzhen asked rhetorically, "You want to know, right?" Is it you who want to know? ”

"Yes, I want to know, Monk Yuanzhen." Monk Yuanzhen said unexpectedly: "Come on, Shen He, you are not very stupid after all, I still think you are not very smart based on your appearance."

"Maybe I'm just a fool. So what's the deal with that deadly weapon you carry with you? Monk Yuanzhen smiled slightly: "The reason why I took it with me was because I expected that I was going to a place of right and wrong." Shen He said suspiciously: "This, you didn't tell us last night?" Monk Yuanzhen shook his head.

"What are you hiding from us?" Shen He asked nailed.

"In some ways, yes." Yuanzhen monk Dao.

"Alright, come on, say it all!" Monk Yuanzhen said word by word: "I make you all think that I, like most of you, was invited, and this is not entirely true. But there is another reason, and that is that I have a hand that I used to have...... No, it's a friend, a guy named Ah Hu, who wrote to me and said that he was in some trouble here and needed my help, and that it might be a bit tricky. ”

"And what?" Shen He urged impatiently. Monk Yuanzhen laughed: "It's over." Nangong Jin said: "No, he must have said more than that." ”

"No, that's all, that's all he said. Finally, I said. Friends of so many years. To come, or not to come, you see what to do—that's what he said. Shen He looked incredulous and said, "These, why didn't you tell everyone last night?" ”

"Shen Da catches his head—" said Monk Yuanzhen, shrugging his expressive shoulders, "how can I know if what happened last night is the unforeseen problem I came here to deal with?" I had to hide something, so I had to tell a story out of nothing. ”

Nangong Jin asked seriously: "So now- don't you think so?" Monk Yuanzhen changed his face, and said angrily and gloomily: "Of course not. I now believe that I am in the same boat as everyone else. My friend is afraid that he was also used by the person behind him, and in doing so, he was actually leading me into his trap with everyone. He said word for word: "Know that we are now in someone else's trap - I swear so!" The death of Mrs. Qin, the death of Fang Yulong, the whereabouts of the little porcelain man on the dining table are unknown! Someone arranged all this, but where is this person? ”

Just then, the bell for lunch rang solemnly downstairs.

Qin Zhong stood there against the door of the restaurant. As the three of them walked down the stairs, he took two steps forward and whispered anxiously, "I hope this meal will satisfy everyone." There were ham, steamed buns, cabbage and potatoes, and I also fried some bacon. Others are noodles, pancakes and fruits. ”

Monk Yuanzhen said: "It sounds hearty, by the way, the stored food is almost gone, right?" ”

"There's something to eat, master. There are quite a few air-dried meats and potatoes and cabbage. The stock is very well stocked. I can say this, Master, if anyone were to be isolated from the mainland on this island, it would be enough to last for a long time. Monk Yuanzhen nodded. Qin Zhong followed the three of them into the dining room, and whispered, "That boatman hasn't come today, I think something is wrong." It's not good, it's like you said, it's all well arranged. ”

"You're right," said Monk Yuanzhen, "it's all arranged by someone else, starting with our arrival on the island." "Mrs. Hua Yun has come into the house. She had just broken up the string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and was now putting them on. She sat down in her seat at the table and said, "The weather has changed. The wind was strong, and the white waves were raging on the sea. "Lu Feng also came in. He came in pacing square. From under his thick eyebrows, he quickly glanced at the other people in the restaurant one by one and said, "You've all been pretty active in the morning. There was a hint of schadenfreude in his voice. Liang Feiyan hurriedly ran in, a little out of breath. She hurriedly said, "I hope I didn't make you all wait." Am I late? ”

Master Hua Yun said: "You are not the last. Mr. Cao's dart head hasn't come yet! They sat down around the table. Qin Zhong said to everyone: "Do you want to eat it now, or wait a little longer?" ”

Liang Feiyan said: "Mr. Cao's dart head is sitting on the edge of the beach below. I see, I can't hear the bell there—" she hesitated as she spoke, "—he was a little distracted today, and I think he was a little embarrassed......" Qin Zhong then said, "I'll go down and inform him that lunch is ready." Nangong Jin suddenly jumped up. "I'll go," he said, "and eat your food." Saying that, he walked out of the house, but he could still hear Qin Zhong behind him saying, "Do you want ham or some baked cakes, divine doctor?" ”

The five people sitting around the table didn't seem to find anything to say. Outside, a gust of wind blew over and over. Liang Feiyan shuddered for a moment and said, "It seems that the storm is coming." Shen He opened the conversation, and he gushed endlessly: "Yesterday, there was an old guy in the carriage I was sitting in. He kept nagging that the storm was coming, and I really don't know how they learned to look at the weather, thanks to these old sailors! Qin Zhong went around the dining table to clean up the dishes. With a plate in his hand, he suddenly stopped. He said in a rare frightened voice, "Someone is running......," and they could all hear it—there were running footsteps on the platform. At this moment, needless to say, they- they all understood...... As if they had agreed to each other, they all stood up. Stood and looked towards the door. Nangong Jin ran in, breathing heavily, and said, "Mr. Cao's dart head—"

"Dead!" Liang Feiyan burst out these two words suddenly. Nangong Jin said, "Yes, he is dead...... and there was silence immediately—for a while. Seven people, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows what to say.

As soon as the body of Mr. Cao's dart head was carried through the door, a storm came. The rest of the people were standing in the hall. Immediately, it began to rain heavily, and the raindrops fell on the ground with a crackling sound, which was extremely noisy. Shen He and Nangong Jin carried the body upstairs, and Liang Feiyan turned around sharply and walked into the empty kitchen. Just like when they walked out just now, the fried pork was still resting on the table with chopsticks unmoved. Liang Feiyan walked to the table and stood for a while, when Qin Zhong walked in gently. Qin Zhong was taken aback when he saw Liang Feiyan. His eyes seemed to be full of doubts and said, "Oh, Miss Liang, I-I just came in to see ......"

Liang Feiyan said loudly in a thick voice that even surprised herself: "As you said, Qin Zhong. It's so wicked here, see for yourself, there are only seven of those little porcelain figures left......"
