Chapter 95: Unveiling Secrets (8)

If it weren't for the unexpected incident involving Ying, maybe we would have won.
Yue Luan Shan embraced Lu Hu Sheng, gently caressing her exhausted face and her thin, sparse hair that had mostly fallen out due to the residual poison from the seven insects, seven flowers, and seven grasses ointment on her hairpin, filled with tender affection.
Yes, they are a very loving couple.
At this moment, with a limp leg and half a bald head, they looked even more compatible.
"No, even without Aying accidentally discovering it, your plan would not have succeeded! Unless, Master Xue is also not on the ship," Shangyou reminded him, "One pretending to be hit by an arrow when not actually hit, and the other pretending not to be poisoned when actually poisoned, it's indeed difficult to act in front of the divine doctor. No wonder you both messed up the performance."
No!
Little Nian silently said in her heart: Unless, Monk Jieshi is also not on this boat.
She has an inexplicable trust in him.
"Wait, there's something I didn't understand." The usually taciturn painter, Qiu Shaobai, spoke up at this moment.
"Young Master Qiu, please speak." Shangyou found it unusual and wanted to hear what this "enemy" of his, Qiu Xiazi, would ask. It seems that he is not as indifferent as he portrays himself to be, like a noble artist who is not interested in the various situations that frequently occur on board, as well as the cause of Qiu Xiazi's death.
"Xue the Divine Physician said that he lost four sleeve arrows in his room. The first one was shot by Madam Lu at Boss Yue, and then Boss Yue used it to kill his wife. The second one killed Ah Ying, and the third one was shot at Princess Qi. So, where did the fourth one go?" Autumn Shao Bai felt puzzled by this obvious logical loophole, "How can this be explained?"
“没错，我屋中的袖箭确是少了四支，只不过……”薛衍在犹豫，要不要连环套，带出另一个秘密。
“我只偷了三支。”
At this point, Lu Huseng had no need to hide anything anymore.
The atmosphere in the room became tense again, and Xiao Nian and Qin Er moved closer together.
Besides Lu Huseng and Yue Luanshan, who were co-conspirators in this case, there was at least one person among the people present who had unknown motives and stole a poisoned dart, which is terrifying to even think about.
"Mr. Neck Stiff, here you are again." Shang You, however, had a mindset of watching a show and didn't think it was a big deal.
Suddenly called out, Mr. Su Neck Stiff's old face turned red, helpless, and with no choice but to accept his fate. He walked up to Yang Fei Jie, respectfully bowed deeply to him, leaving Yang Fei Jie baffled.
"Yang Xiaoxia, I'm sorry!"
"Master Jingjiang, why do you say that?" Yang Feijie thought for a moment, as he had no previous dealings with Su Jingjiang.
"I once made an unethical deal with the 'Fireworks' organization's Drunkard. They wanted the specific room number of Yang Xiaoxia on this ship, offering a thousand taels of gold. And the losses of Kempinski Floor in the past two years happen to be a thousand taels of gold. For some reason, Boss Yue is currently investigating the account book of Kempinski Floor. Both Lady Yue and I were anxious, and evil thoughts and greedy desires arose..."
Su Jingjiang looked ashamed and sighed deeply, about to continue, when Lu Husheng suddenly spoke up—
"Did Jiu Kuang also make a deal with you?"
This word "also" caused people to be lost in wild and fanciful thoughts, with Little Nian and Qin'er exchanging glances, and the expressions on others' faces also varied.
Unexpectedly, the whole thing turned out to be so complicated.
