no soul

The sky is like a solidified blood clot, and the golden sea is motionless.

The two sober people followed the stream of the unconscious ones down.

The buildings on both sides are no longer visible, but the deck still seems to grow endlessly, and the dark stream of people still can't see the end.

It shouldn't be this long.

"Lin Hong," Wan Guchuan held him back, "Don't go, go back."

Lin Hong glanced ahead and sighed, "Maybe there is no end to it."

Lin Hong lay on the window sill of the room and watched the continuous flow of people below.

There are so many people on board?

Can't tell the truth from the fake.

Lin Hong yawned.Go to bed first.

Lin Hong was awakened by the sound of surging waves.

The salty sea breeze blows from the window, and the white seagulls spread their wings across the blue sky.

"Are you awake?" Wan Guchuan sat at the table and wiped his sword, "After breakfast, let's go down and have a look."

Lin Hong looked at him with his messy hair and then at the breakfast on the table, "Did you serve it?"

"The maid sent it up." Wan Guchuan replied.

"The service is really considerate." Lin Hong rubbed his hair, got out of bed and began to get dressed.

Wan Guchuan looked up at his back, with his narrow waist and long straight legs.Watching him put his clothes on his body and put his hands into his sleeves...

Wan Guchuan lowered his eyes and continued to wipe his sword.

After Lin Hong finished washing, he sat across from him, "I didn't sleep much last night, why did you get up so early?"

"Can't sleep," Wan Guchuan said, "I'm used to it in the army."

"Ham, you are always the hardest," Lin Hong glanced at the sword in his hand, picked up the chopsticks, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat it." Wan Guchuan raised his sword and watched the effect of wiping.

have eaten?Lin Hong looked at the breakfast on the table, apparently untouched, and there was only one pair of chopsticks on his side...

The maid brought it up?

The guests came and went in the corridor, saying hello.

The lobby is still buzzing.

Lin Hong glanced at the huge bronze mirror with lingering fear.

At this moment, it is very normal, and everyone is reflected in it.

The deck was no more lively than at night, but it was still full of people.

"Last night's Wangchuan River can't give us any information," Lin Hong thought, "It probably tells us that everyone on the boat is dead."

Wan Guchuan thought, "If they all followed the Wangchuan River to the Naihe Bridge, why are they still here?"

Why is there still a boat full of undead drifting on the sea for hundreds of years, not going to reincarnation.

"That's right..." Lin Hong was awakened by him.

Isn't the grieving ghost just trapped by resentment and wants to fulfill his last wish and reincarnate?

The last wish should be fulfilled before you can set foot on the Wangchuan River. Since you are already standing on the bank of the Wangchuan River, why are you still on the boat?

Wan Guchuan said: "It's like they have fulfilled their last wish, but they don't want to leave."

"Is there something on board?" Lin Hong couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know yet," Wan Guchuan said, "Let's see again."

"You also came in from outside?" A female voice sounded behind them.

The two turned their heads to look.

A young girl stood behind them with a knife folded in her arms.

She looks 16 years old, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, very pretty, but her expression is astonishingly cold, giving people a very unfriendly feeling.

He was tall and slender, wearing a capable jujube-colored strong suit, with no accessories from head to toe, only a wine gourd and a wooden carved fish hanging from his waist.

Wan Guchuan was not sure whether this girl was in the same situation as Wan Liang, or if she was really dragged in by a ghost like them, "I don't understand what you mean."

The girl continued: "I saw you from upstairs last night, in the crowd."

Lin Hong looked at the girl and said affirmatively, "'Evil doctor' Yu Tianyi."

Yu Tian also looked at him, "Hey, do you know me?"

In the rivers and lakes, the title of "evil doctor" can be regarded as widely circulated.

It is rumored that the "evil doctor" is a weird girl who is addicted to alcohol, has a fish-shaped wood carving on her belt, is good at dancing knives, and is taught by the "chivalrous doctor" who has rejuvenated herself from Le Ranshan.

Leran Mountain people are easy-going and chivalrous, they only heal good people, and they will definitely save them without consulting money. They have always been respected by others, and there are not a few people who have received his kindness.However, due to some accidents, he has almost disappeared in the arena in recent years.

He only accepted one disciple, and it was Yu Tianyi.

And there are rumors that Yu Tianyi's medical skills are outstanding, and she can cure diseases that Leran Mountain people can't cure.

Why do you say she is weird, because she has no rules to say whether she saves people or not, it only depends on her mood, she saves good and bad people when she is happy, and does not save when she is unhappy.

And good at using poison and Gu.

If you want to ask her to save you, you will be considered unlucky if you don’t, and you will be unlucky if you save, because she may have planted her Gu and poison in your body.

There are quite a few people who have been recruited, and it has been rumored that it has the name of "evil doctor".

Lin Hong also heard about her when he stepped into the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect to meet her here.

"Sister Yu is indeed capable, but this 'boy' really doesn't sound very nice." Lin Hong sighed.

Yu Tian also curled his lips and smiled, even the smile was cold enough, "It doesn't matter. I came here to remind you, don't hold back."

After speaking, she turned and walked into the crowd with the knife in her hand.

Too arrogant.

Lin Hong touched his chin, "I have seen it."

Wan Guchuan has also heard about Jianghu, and when he heard the title of "evil doctor", he knew the general idea. He looked at the direction she left and smiled, "Isn't it good?" Most of the children of Jianghu are like this A man of temperament.

Lin Hong looked at him and said with a smile, "Why, did you like it?"

Wan Guchuan glanced at him, "No."

"Hmm..." Lin Hong was thinking seriously, "Although it's tricky, it's not impossible."

Wan Guchuan has already left.

"Hey, I'm helping you think about lifelong affairs, why did you leave?" Lin Hong followed him.

Wan Guchuan said: "Let's think about how to get out alive first."

Lin Hong looked at him sideways for a while, why wasn't he happy...

"Dead! Dead!!" The bustard ran out of the flower building in a panic!

Lin Hong wanted to say something but stopped talking, and the two walked over.

The old bustard turned pale, and fell to the ground, panting uncontrollably.

Wan Guchuan helped her up and asked, "Where is it?"

"On...on the second floor...uhhhh!! My Yu'er! Yu'er!" the old bustard burst into tears.

Some people came to help hold the madam.

Wan Guchuan and Lin Hong exchanged glances, followed the crowd and walked in.

Compared with Qunyu Building, the flower building on this building boat is not much better, it is also three stories high, extremely spacious, elegantly furnished, with layers of veils.

There is still an unextinguished lingering fragrance in the golden beast incense burner, and the air is filled with a sweet and greasy smell.

Hualou is the most carnival place at night, before noon, the whole building should still be asleep, but at this moment they were all awakened, opened the door and looked around.

Some people stood outside a room on the second floor.

The two walked over, and the faint smell of blood wafted out of the room.

Looking away from the layers of veils, someone was standing beside the bed, it was Yu Tianyi whom he had just seen.

Lying on the bed was an extremely beautiful but pale woman, her eyes were closed, her expression was serene, a large area of ​​bright red blood was splattered on the light-colored bedding.

Presumably this girl is the "Yu'er" that the bustard cried out.

Yu Tian also raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and lifted the dead man's quilt.

In an instant, a disgusting smell of blood came to the face.

Those who stood close covered their mouths and noses, and some began to retch.

Yu Tian, ​​who was closest, observed without changing his face, "The heart and liver were ripped out."

Yu Tian also sneered, "It didn't take long."

She took out a long needle made of unknown medicine from the wooden fish hanging on her waist, and stretched out her hand to pinch the dead man's cheek to make her open her mouth, and the long needle scraped her tongue.

Yutian also raised the needle to his eyes, "I've been drugged."

She took Yu'er's hand, looked at the nails, and checked her body again, "Clean clothes, no signs of struggle."

"Thank you sister Yu." Lin Hong said.Thanks for the clue information.

Yu Tian also wiped his hands without raising his eyes, "Don't be too sentimental."

Wan Guchuan looked around the house, except for the door, it was a secret room.

He looked at the closed window and asked the man standing beside him, "Did you lock it?"

The man shook his head, "It's not me, it was closed when I came over."

Wan Guchuan looked at the footprints on the window sill, and then at the man, "That's it."

It wasn't long before soldiers walked in and chased them out.

The old bustard was still crying while sitting on the bench outside the door.

"Sister, can you tell me in detail?" Lin Hong squatted in front of her and asked her.

"Uh, uh..." The bustard wiped her tears with her white and fat hands, and when she saw a handsome young man squatting in front of her, her crying subsided a lot, "Yu'er said she was not feeling well last night, and she had a rest early. I didn't receive any guests either... I asked her early this morning, the door was locked from the inside, and she didn't answer. I was shocked, and hurriedly inserted the iron piece into the crack of the door and opened the latch inside , went in and saw her dead..."

"Wow wow wow..." The old bustard started to cry again, her grief was more intense than before, and she stretched out her arms to hug Lin Hong in front of her.

Wan Guchuan, who was standing beside him, lifted Lin Hong's arm and pulled him up. The bustard hugged him empty-handedly, "Wow..."

Wan Guchuan asked the bustard: "Is anyone out this morning?"

The old bustard was a little upset at not being able to hug Lin Hong, but when he saw that he was a handsome young man again, he shook his head and said, "No."

"Has she offended anyone on board?" Wan Guchuan asked again.

The old bustard said: "Yu'er has a gentle personality, she is submissive and has never offended anyone."

"Are there any regular customers?" Lin Hong asked her.

"There must be regular customers, but none of them are on this boat." The old bustard said.

Lin Hong asked again: "Did she say why she was not feeling well?"

The old bustard thought for a while, "She often said that she was not feeling well, but every time she went to sleep for a night and went to see her in the morning, she would get better. So I didn't pay much attention this time, who knew that this happened... woo woo woo..."

"Thank you," Lin Hong sighed, "My condolences."

Many soldiers surrounded the scene, and the two walked away.

"I think she's pretending to be sick." Lin Hongdao, "It's unlikely that Hualou's sisters often complain about illness, and they will be fine overnight."

"You are right, she went out through the window by herself," Wan Guchuan said.

Lin Hong looked at him, "What did you find?"

Wan Guchuan said: "Just now, the murderer was in that room."

Lin Hong looked at him.

"If the madam is not lying, it is a secret room, the body is fresh, and the windows are locked from the inside."

Wan Guchuan said: "Moreover, at least two people entered the room through the window, and at least one person was left in the room to lock the window."

The murderer killed a man, waited for his accomplice to escape through the window, stayed in the room and locked the window, avoiding the gaze of the madam, and mixed in with the onlookers who came to watch the scene.

Lin Hong asked him, "How did you figure this out?"

"There are a lot of footprints on the window. It should be wiped off in a hurry."

Wan Guchuan said: "I probably saw two kinds of footprints of different sizes, both from men, so there are more than two people. There is also a footprint of a woman with her toes facing outwards. The preservation is relatively complete. It should be when the deceased went out. left."

Lin Hong said: "She pretended to be sick many times, so it seems that she also went out many times."

"What is she going out for? A tryst with a lover?" Lin Hong was in a daze, "It doesn't look like that, there are so many men's footprints, she can't meet more than one lover at a time, right?"

"Or is she being threatened?" Lin Hong was puzzled, "That's not right either, I can see a smile on her serene face."

Lin Hong frowned and thought.

Wan Guchuan couldn't help laughing.Assume by yourself, and overthrow yourself.

He looked at Lin Hong, and suddenly wanted to reach out and rub his head.

The idea is weird...

Lin Hong didn't see him smiling, and said to himself: "In this way, after she went out, she was fainted and then brought back to her room to be killed."

Lin Hong tilted his head, "But why did you kill her? Why did you gut her?"

"Maybe this is the same problem." Wan Guchuan said.

"Kill her for internal organs?"

"maybe."

The internal organs need to be taken away and the aftermath needs to be dealt with, so multiple people are needed to complete it.

But why did they send her back after taking her away to take her internal organs?Or, "go" and "back" are two different things at all?

"There is one more question." Lin Hong was puzzled, "Why did the murderer stay and lock the window, can't we just let us know that they escaped through the window?"

This is a problem.

Wan Guchuan thought for a while, and said, "Explain, there are things outside the window that I can't deal with in time."
