Chapter 33: The Murder Falls into the Sea
As soon as the morning sun shone on the earth, the door of the Xia Mansion was gently opened, and some half-asleep housekeepers hurriedly shouted inside when they saw their master: "The island master is back, go and inform Madame." ”
Mrs. Xia inside dropped the emerald hairpin in her hand in surprise when she heard this, and her noble face suddenly panicked, but she couldn't see the look in her eyes for a moment, and gave Ah Yan a look and went out to greet the head of the Xia family together.
Seeing that her husband had broken a hand, Mrs. Xia first asked him about his situation with a concerned face, and then told the pale-faced middle-aged man about the results of her interrogation last night.
"Thank you, ma'am. Cheyenne gently stroked the back of his wife's hand with his only hand, and then said to the butler who was on standby: "Let the three bay lords go with me to the Punishment Hall to check on it, so that no one will deny it." ”
"How could it be? How could the lost one be the punishment nail when Lady Snow was punished?" The Lord of Xiwan looked at the empty brocade box in the secret room, and fell to his knees all of a sudden, the owner of the island had asked him to keep it a secret from the outside world, and the punishment nail that he would not be able to take unless the owner of the island gave him an order was stolen by someone, and he also injured the owner of the island. "Island master, it's all my fault, if you want to punish you, punish me. ”
"There are so many punishment nails here, why did the thief have to steal the punishment nails when Sister Xue was punished?" Mrs. Xia's hands behind the fan were clenched into fists, but her face was full of smiles. "In this matter, the most suspicious person besides the island owner is your Xiwan master. ”
"Lord Saiwan neglected his duties and received three punishment nails. Before Mrs. Xia could speak, the pale-faced middle-aged man gave an order, and then, turning his face to look at his younger brother, his face was full of loss and consternation, "Ah Xun, after so many years, you still can't let go of her?"
"She, in the eyes of the eldest brother, I can't let go of anyone, and I ask the eldest brother to make it clear. The corners of Xia Sui's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the middle-aged man with stubble at the corners of his mouth with a smile.
"Knowingly, you still don't believe me, do you think Xue Chuqing was killed by me personally?" Cheyenne shook the severed hand in front of his eyes, his face flushed, and he stepped forward and grabbed the other party's collar, "So, you don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to put me to death, and you also want to taste the punishment nail she received before I die, right?"
"Hmph, that's ridiculous. It's obvious that you don't believe in your own brother, but now you're reversing right and wrong here. Xia Sui's seemingly gentle face was full of anger, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, "If you can, I really want you to taste the pain that Xiaoxue suffered back then." ”
"After all these years, you're finally willing to admit it, and you don't even need the evidence I've worked so hard to find. Xia An gritted his teeth and shook off Xia Sui, watching the usually gentle and humble person fall to the ground in embarrassment, and was so angry that he turned into a golden stone and threw it in front of his eyes, "Ah Xun, you really miss her." ”
"This is?" The loud red golden stone spun around in front of his eyes, and the red shining inside was as bright as new, this was obviously the golden stone that made the cultivation break through from the red stage to the white stage by taking the koi blood beads? Could it be that the black-clothed man who assassinated the eldest brother had gone to Koi Bay to collect the blood beads?" As for the charge of letting outsiders enter Koi Bay and murdering my brother, I don't bear this charge. ”
"After all, you still think she was killed by me. "His own brother actually sent someone to follow him secretly, either because he was afraid that he would kill Xing'er with his own hands, or he wanted to get rid of him secretly, but Xing'er was his own flesh and blood, could he still kill his own son with his own hands?"
Xia Sui's gentle face smiled bitterly, he has the title of the lord of Dongwan for so many years, and the only right is to decide the ship that goes to the island of Koi Bay, and he has no real power in addition, however, although the truth of stealing the punishment nail and assassinating the island owner is unknown, it is insinuated that he was derelict in his duties, and the final result must be that the last bit of power he holds in his hands will also be taken back, and the reason why he will guard Koi Bay is just that he thinks that he can see her as soon as Xiaoxue returns, however, he knows clearly in his heart that the woman who is as bright as light will never come back。
"Actually, Xiaoxue is gone, it doesn't matter what you want to do with me, big brother. Xia Sui leaned his head against the wall behind him, but his eyes were empty, and he didn't seem to care about his brother's questioning.
"Good, good. From now on, all the rights of the owner of Dongwan will be confiscated, and he will be put in a water prison for interrogation at a later date. Cheyenne's angry face was still pale and colorless, and she was angrily leaving with a sleeve that could not see her fingers, when she suddenly stopped and looked back at the gentle man who had no intention of survival, and his eyes were full of sharp and sharp light. "If you don't say it now, the Punishment Hall will have a way for you to speak. ”
By noon, the warm sun was shining on the already humid carp town, and the salty smell of the sea was blowing bitterly. Ye Qingchen, who had just gotten the consent of the Xia Island Lord to enter Koi Bay Island to collect blood beads, was chasing Lin Weiran's whereabouts with the little guy who was tracking Dong Ming in the Xia Mansion at this time. However, the person who was being sought was pushed into the sea with a red bead grass in his hand at this time.
The woman in Tsing Yi who was sunk into the sea finally woke up by the seawater, but she was tied to death by a magic rope and could only let herself sink into the sea. She was extremely blocked in the oxygen-deficient water, and then she realized that the sea was the place where the sky should not be called the earth, and not only was she facing the danger of lack of oxygen at any time, but she also had to watch out for sharks.
The danger was very much in Lin Weiran's mind, so the hand she was tied behind her quickly straightened up two fingers, and she didn't care about her back, and silently recited the water sword trick in her heart and picked it up with two fingers, and when the rope of the spell on her body was untied, she also opened her mouth because of the pain, and suddenly drank a large mouthful of bitter seawater.
The blood that had spread out from her body had already infected a large area, and she could feel the pain from the salt in the sea water behind her back even if she didn't have to look at it, but she couldn't care much more when she was holding her breath, so she had to slide the hand that had been cut by the big mouth and desperately swim upstream.
"Are you willing to die like this? Be my food, and I will fulfill the unresolved regrets in your heart for you. A voice sounded from the bottom of the deep sea, and it fell into the ears of the woman in Tsing Yi who was stained red with blood beside her.
Lin Weiran subconsciously glanced down, and at a glance, she was entangled in the long dark green ribbon that quickly stretched up, could it be that she was still entangled, no, the increasingly scarce oxygen could no longer allow her to make any more stops, and once again raised two fingers to cut off the dark green ribbon.
"Woo woo ......" The long dark green belt that wrapped around her feet quickly retracted into the deep sea, and then, the sea water under Lin Weiran's feet suddenly formed a huge vortex and swept the girl in Tsing Yi who was struggling to swim up. "Since you're so uninteresting, it's no wonder I'm ruthless. ”
It's not good, she was entangled in this whirlpool, her neck had been suffocated by her anymore, the lack of oxygen and the strong restraining force outside were eating down her willpower, her wrist just raised her fingers, and the soles of her feet suddenly began to rotate rapidly, and this deep-sea whirlpool was bottomless and sucked Lin Weiran into it in an instant.
"Hey, wake up. ”
Lin Weiran seemed to be wrapped in a huge blue-purple flower, which had neither import nor export, and the huge blue-purple flower could not break this hard "petal" no matter how she beat it. Suddenly, it seemed as if a voice sounded in her ears, and the voice "Wake up" sounded over and over again, from faint to clear.
"Ahem...... Lin Weiran spit out the seawater, her smooth breathing had told her that she was out of the terrible seabed, and she was raising her sleeves to wipe the seawater from the corners of her mouth, looking at the water on her sleeves and dripping down unceremoniously before she put it down helplessly, "Thank you girl for saving your life, the girl is ......"
Lin Weiran swallowed the second half of the sentence vigorously, isn't she the Dongming girl that Xia Mansion is searching for in the whole Liyu Town, looking at the posture that Mrs. Xia spoke last night, it is obvious that this Dongming and the East Bay Lord stole the punishment nail to harm the island owner. Could it be that she came here to take refuge? Or is she wronged, and she fled here after knowing that someone was trying to harm her?
"Oh, I mean, the girl looked at Mian Shan, and we must have met there before. "Anyway, you can't let Dongming know that she knows about it.
No, there are strange rocks here, and there are stalactite pillars formed by karst formations, and there is no other way out of this area except for the waterhole under your feet. It seems that she was swept into it because of the deep-sea whirlpool, and this is not a place that ordinary people can reach casually, so how did Dongming get in?
"Don't thank me, if she didn't have to save you, I wouldn't have bothered to do it. The girl crossed her hands on her hips and stared at the two maids with their hair buns on their faces, looking at her with a haughty expression.
"She, who is she, who asked you to save me?" Lin Weiran was pulled back from her thoughts by the girl, and was about to follow her question to find out some news about this place, so that she could take the opportunity to return to Carp Town. The girl with the maid's hair in a bun just pouted and said "Okay", then turned around helplessly, and was frightened by the back of her head and took several steps back, "Ah...... Hell. ”
Because, where is the back of that girl's head, it's clearly a face. If it weren't for Dongming's cervical spine and ass under that face, she really couldn't believe that a person with two faces would exist.
