There were corpses floating in the sea, and the wine was undrinkable no matter what.

The drunkards who were present had rich experience in Jianghu, and their sense of smell was also keen. The moment they saw the corpse, they realized that this might be the beginning of some kind of incident. They all put down their wine glasses and rolled up their sleeves to salvage the corpse.

The smell of alcohol on the deck drifted away with the wind, and the drunks on the deck had also regained their sobriety.

That night, they picked up five dead bodies at sea.

The death patterns are different, and the degree of damage to the corpses is more serious than the last one. The corpses can almost be called strange shapes.Gu Xian inspected the salvaged corpses one by one, with calm eyes and a steady tone: "Here, I got a slap here, and it almost killed me with a slap."

Chu Liuxiang said: "This should be a cinnabar palm."

"This person was pierced with a sword through his throat. The blade is very narrow. It is not a sword commonly used by people in Jianghu. Just looking at his hand, it should be that he killed the previous person."

Chu Liuxiang said firmly: "He is the killer scholar Ximen Qian."

Li Xun Huan said: "There are not many people who use this kind of sword, only the Hainan and Laoshan sects."

Gu Xian looked at the third corpse, his eyes moved slightly: "It was a heavy sword. This sword cut head-on, cutting the person's head in half."

Nangong Lingdao: "Looking at this Taoist robe, it should be a member of the Hainan faction. He killed Ximen Qian, and then someone chopped off his head?"

When Gu Xian touched the fourth corpse, even Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help frowning.It's just because the death condition of this corpse is so appalling that Gu Xian dared to touch it.

"The hair is falling out, the eyeballs are popping, the skin is discolored, it's poisoning, but it's not quite poisonous."

"This is a woman. One-third of her body was cut off. The person who killed her was very fast with the knife, otherwise there would not be such a smooth knife edge."

Chu Liuxiang sighed: "That one is Zamuhe, king of the desert, and this one...Looking at this woman's attire, she should be a disciple of Shenshui Palace."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Zamu used a knife together, and the 'Tianyi Shenshui' in Shenshui Palace is a famous poisonous water in Jianghu. It seems to be the result of these two cannibalism?"

They quickly came to a conclusion—these five corpses were mostly caused by killing each other.

At least that's what it looks like on the surface.

Li Xun Huan thought about it: "These few people, except for this girl from Shenshui Palace, have some connections with each other. If they fight in other places and cause both losers, it is actually a very normal thing. The wonderful thing is, how did these famous figures gather together?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "I don't think it was an accident either. Maybe someone deliberately gathered these people together by some means, and the purpose was to let them kill each other."

Lu Xiaofeng asked: "What is the purpose of doing this?"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head.

Gu Xian suddenly said: "I remember that all the corpses floated from this direction."

He pointed in one direction, and said to Nangong Ling: "Mr. Nangong, did you say before that the new leader of the Beggar Gang is entertaining the elders of the gang on the boat over there?"

Nangong Ling's complexion changed, and his face looked a bit ugly: "Doctor Gu means..."

Gu Xian calmly said, "They may know something."

Lu Xiaofeng curled his lips, "I thought you were going to say that these corpses might have something to do with Chief Qiao."

Gu Xian smiled slyly when he heard the words, and nodded, "It's very possible. But you can also think about it the other way around, maybe someone deliberately wants us to think that these corpses are related to Chief Qiao."

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his chin: "Framed?"

Chu Liuxiang suddenly got up and said, "I have to go and have a look."

Nangong Ling asked: "Do you want to take a look in the direction where the corpse floated?"

"Yes, maybe there will be some clues left on it."

Nangong Lingdao: "Chu Xiangshuai wants to meddle in his own business again?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "The corpse hit my boat, so it's not a big deal."

Nangong Ling smiled helplessly, "That's good. I'll go with you. There are people from our beggar gang there. It must be easier to check things with me."

Chu Liuxiang laughed loudly and jumped into the sea first. Nangong Ling was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly and jumped in after him.

After they swam away one after the other, the remaining three people were still watching them silently on the deck.

After a while, Gu Xian turned around and said calmly, "I'll find something that can cover the corpse. The dead are the worst, so we can't just leave it alone like this."

"Gu Xian."

Lu Xiaofeng stopped him.

Gu Xian stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Lu Xiaofeng, and waited for him to continue speaking.

It was rare for Lu Xiaofeng to have no smile on his face, and he asked solemnly: "If your guess is correct... I mean, if someone really wanted to frame the new leader of the Beggar Sect on purpose, wouldn't there be someone around us?" Is there a person who is the most suspect?"

Gu Xian thought for a while: "... Nangong Ling?"

Li Xun Huan said in a low voice: "As far as I know, Nangong Ling, as the adopted son of the old leader Ren, has always been regarded as the next leader of the beggar gang. It was not until after Ren Ci's sudden death that the members of the beggar gang knew that the old leader had already been established. According to the will, Qiao Feng should be the successor of the gang leader."

All three were silent.

No one here is a fool. Although they spoke euphemistically, they already understood the meaning of each other's words clearly.

Gu Xian sighed: "Mr. Chu seems to trust Mr. Nangong very much."

Li Xun Huan said: "Based on what I know about him, he will not easily doubt his friends."

Lu Xiaofeng finally smiled wryly: "I can understand this feeling, but I actually don't want to doubt Huo Xiu."

Gu Xian turned back and patted Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder as comfort.Lu Xiaofeng is an open-minded person, he believes that Lu Xiaofeng doesn't need too much comfort from them, not to mention that Chu Liuxiang is in a similar situation to Lu Xiaofeng before, maybe Lu Daxia, who never likes trouble, would be very willing to help Chu Liuxiang?

He shook his head, put the question aside, and went to the cabin to explain the situation to Su Rongrong.

There are a total of three girls on Chu Liuxiang's boat, Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er.Both Li Hongxiu and Song Tian'er are more lively than Su Rongrong, but Su Rongrong must be in charge.

After Su Rongrong heard the whole story, without saying a word, she immediately rolled up a white sail, and rushed to the deck with Li Hongxiu. When they saw the woman wearing the costume of Shenshui Palace, they almost shed tears.

Li Hongxiu said angrily: "Such a beautiful girl, who would have the heart to kill her?!"

Su Rongrong was calmer than her, and her face was full of unbearable and grief, but she turned to Gu Xian and asked, "How long has Chu Liuxiang been gone?"

Gu Xian replied warmly, "It's been a while."

She nodded, and spread out the white sail to cover the strangely shaped corpses, Gu Xian and Li Hongxiu went up to hold hands, and covered the corpses together with her.

Only then did Song Tian'er dare to go up to the deck to take a look.

She is not afraid of heaven and earth, but the corpse of the dead.

There were five corpses on board, and no one was in the mood to drink anymore. They each found a place to stand or sit, and only had a few conversations occasionally. Everyone was waiting, waiting for Chu Liuxiang to come back.

After a long time, a small boat floated in the distance.

The only people who went were Chu Liuxiang and Nangong Ling, but there were five people who came, besides Chu Liuxiang and Nangong Ling, there were three more men who had never seen each other on the boat, looking at their clothes, they looked like they belonged to the gang of beggars.

One of them was very handsome, with a handsome face that was upright and arrogant, Li Xun Huan was taken aback, and reminded in a low voice, "I'm afraid the leader Qiao came here in person."

Lu Xiaofeng immediately jumped up when he heard the words, and shouted towards the direction of the boat: "Is this the leader of the beggar gang Qiao?"

When Qiao Feng heard the question, he replied loudly, "It's Qiao."

He actually came over to find out in person!

The boat quickly approached Chu Liuxiang's boat, and the two beggar gang disciples who accompanied Qiao Feng to row the boat stayed on the boat. Chu Liuxiang, Nangong Ling, and Qiao Feng jumped onto the deck one after another. The deck was not too spacious. It became crowded all of a sudden, and the three girls returned to the cabin consciously when they saw this, and gave the place to the men to discuss things.

Qiao Feng checked the corpses one by one, and after listening to Gu Xian and Chu Liuxiang explaining the clues they had, he sighed and said, "None of us noticed these corpses drifting around our ship. In the past, the disciples patrolling the ship had never seen any suspicious people. It's just that something strange happened, and Qiao also thought it was not a simple matter."

On this point, Qiao Feng communicated with Chu Liuxiang a long time ago, Chu Liuxiang nodded, and added: "In addition to the Beggar Gang's boat, I also met a friend of mine."

Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Which friend?"

"A wonderful monk has no flowers."

Chu Liuxiang said solemnly: "I believe that Chief Qiao has nothing to do with this matter, and I also believe that Wu Hua has nothing to do with this matter. A person as high and refined as he is will never be contaminated by these unscrupulous conspiracies."

Gu Xian was quiet, then sighed: "It seems that we can't find the source from which the corpse floated."

He pondered: "Fortunately, such a big handwriting will definitely leave clues. We may be able to start with the identity of the corpse, because these people must have one thing in common when they gather together on the same day."

Li Xun Huan agreed: "That's right, they must have a reason for coming. Although the dead can no longer speak, the dead always have family members and friends. Their relatives or teachers must know something."

Chu Liuxiang said: "The real murderer may have already begun to destroy these evidences. If you want to investigate, you must do it as soon as possible."

Qiao Feng said: "The Beggars' Gang is willing to help everyone."

Nangong Ling also smiled and said: "Since you all want to take care of it, it seems that I can't shirk it, not to mention that the leader has already spoken. If there is any need, Chu Xiangshuai will send it."

Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and said: "In fact, there is no need for so many people. If there are too many people, it will be easy to scare the snake. I already have some ideas in my heart, but I have to ask Miss Su Rongrong to do me a favor."

He patted Nangong Ling on the shoulder, and said: "If the black hands behind the scenes want to frame the Beggar Gang, they may monitor your every move in the dark. If you want me to say, you can keep everything as usual for the time being. If you need your help, I will definitely go find you."

Nangong Ling seemed to disagree, he was silent for a long time under Chu Liuxiang's smiling gaze, and then nodded reluctantly.

Its daybreak.

A conspiracy has just begun.
