Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 359 It’s her! ?
"ah!!?"
A small pirate leader with oil paint on his face was taken to the captain's room and asked to identify the victim.
However, when the little leader saw the tragic scene in the captain's room, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
There were four bodies in the captain's room. All of them died in horrible ways. The sight of them was scarlet and horrifying.
"this……"
The guards including Dai Long escorted the little leader to the captain's room. After seeing this scene, they were all trembling.
Soon, they saw the cause of death and immediately turned their attention to Xu Zun.
Because, the throats of these four people were all torn apart alive!!!
Since having the throat severed would not be immediately fatal, the deceased struggled in his death throes, leaving the captain's room covered in conspicuous and messy bloodstains.
"This... this one is Lord Heibo Yu, he... he..."
Unexpectedly, the little leader spoke fluent Central Plains dialect and pointed his hand at a hideous-looking corpse on the side of the floor.
The corpse was wearing a helmet with a skull on it and had various gold accessories hanging on his body, making it clear at first glance that he was a high-ranking pirate.
But……
It is obvious that Xu Zun and others' attention is no longer on Hei Boyu.
"Sir..." Zhao Yu looked around and asked Xu Zun in a low voice, but the word "bitter mother" came to his lips but he did not say it out.
Obviously, from the wounds of the dead, it can be clearly seen that they must have died under the claws of Ku Niang.
But……
Xu Zun frowned and searched around, but did not see Ku Niang.
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Xu Zun was also a little dazed. Before, he really didn't pay attention to Ku Niang.
Could it be that... these people were really killed by Ku Niang! ! ?
Why did Ku Niang do this?
Could it be that...
"I..." Huo Anu also realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly took the initiative to say, "Sir, I will go find Ku Niang!"
After saying that, she put away her umbrella and immediately rushed out of the captain's room.
However, as soon as she went out, she stepped back again, staring straight at the door.
The atmosphere suddenly became depressing and tense, and Zhao Xin even unconsciously gripped the hilt of the knife.
Just like that, under everyone's nervous gaze, Ku Niang slowly entered the captain's room.
The footsteps were slow, but they revealed an invisible pressure that made everyone present feel short of breath.
"Kuniang, you..." Xu Zun looked at Kuniang, but saw that Kuniang's expression was no different from usual.
Ku Niang's eyes were still fierce and deep, and she said calmly:
"Not me."
These three simple words made everyone present feel relieved.
Zhao Xin quickly loosened his grip on the knife handle, only to feel his palms full of sweat.
"It's not you? Then..." Huo Anu stepped forward and asked hurriedly, "Who is it? "
Yes, everyone looked confused.
Before this , they had all seen Ku Niang take action. If Hei Boyu and others were not killed by Ku Niang, then who could it be?
" Not good !" Suddenly, Zhao Yu thought of an important question first, and shouted hurriedly, "If it's not Ku Niang, then the murderer must still be on the boat!"
"Ah?" Huo Anu quickly held up the iron umbrella and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"This is a ship," Zhao Yu said nervously, "It's surrounded by the sea. If the murderer kills someone, where can he escape?"
Oh...yes!!!
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and raised their weapons as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
However, most of them kept their eyes on Ku Niang.
It was obvious that they did not believe what Ku Niang said.
However, Xu Zun knew Ku Niang's character very well. If she really did it, she would never say "It's not me" in public. Moreover, if she really wanted to kill someone without anyone knowing, wouldn't she just not pull out the throat tube?
But if it wasn't her, who could it be?
Before this, Xu Zun knew that since Hei Bo Yu could become the overlord of the East China Sea, his martial arts must be quite amazing.
The people present here must all be top-notch masters. If not Ku Niang, who else could have removed their tracheas so easily?
Moreover, looking at the wounds on the throats of several people, each of them was violent and eye-catching, which made Xu Zun think of the scene when Ku Niang removed Wei Beihui's trachea.
Isn't this kind of method really a waste of time?
However, Xu Zun trusted Ku Niang and was rational and shrewd. He soon discovered that the blood around Hei Boyu had already shown signs of drying and solidifying.
This sign shows that Hei Boyu was probably killed long before they attacked the ship.
If that was the case, Ku Niang was still on the warship at the time. How could she have sneaked onto the pirate ship and killed Hei Boyu without anyone noticing?
right!
Thinking of this, Xu Zun no longer had any doubts.
Just imagine that the pirate ship wanted to take down the Daxuan battleship in one fell swoop by relying on the Siren illusion.
At such an important time, how could Hei Bo Yu, as the captain, still stay in the captain's room?
Therefore, Hei Boyu and others must have been killed by someone who had been lying in ambush on the ship.
And this person... actually has the same martial arts as Ku Niang?
Why?
etc……
In the midst of this thought, Xu Zun remembered another thing, which was the word "demon" that Wei Beihui wrote on the ground before he died.
In other words…
The rumored killer Mosha... appeared?
"Sir," the pirate leader said tremblingly at this time, "There are more than a dozen uninhabited islands near this sea area. If someone jumps into the water, they can swim over..."
"That won't work!" Zhao Yu swallowed his saliva and said to Xu Zun, "Sir, we must get a ship. This... this is not a trivial matter!"
"Ah! Anuchehba," Huo Anu clapped his hands fiercely, "The pirate leader is also dead. Apparently, he was silenced. It seems that there is a powerful mastermind behind them!"
"Let me ask you," Xu Zun approached the pirate leader and asked, "Who are these four people, except Hei Boyu?"
"All..." the little leader quickly replied, "All of them are our senior generals, Bute, Aichi and Sadhu."
"Then..." Xu Zun asked again, "Take a good look and see if you have missed any one?"
"Besides the captain, these three generals are the most powerful here!" The little leader nodded and said, "They are all... all here!"
"Then let me ask you," Xu Zun pointed at Ku Niang, "Is there a woman who looks like her around your captain?"
"Ah?" The little leader was stunned, obviously not understanding what Xu Zun meant, and then he shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, our captain said that women are unlucky and never allow women to board the main ship..."
No women...
Xu Zun frowned. Could it be that the killer had been lurking on the ship? Or...
Xu Zun was thinking hard when there was suddenly a commotion outside the captain's room.
What's wrong?
Everyone heard it and rushed to the door to check.
But on the deck, there were many Daxuan sailors and first-rate warriors swinging their swords and slashing at each other like crazy!
How could the sailors be a match for the top-notch warriors? They were quickly hacked to the ground by the other side, blood spurted out, and the scene was in chaos...
