It was already dusk when Lu Jing boarded the ship, and he stayed on the deck and the first floor for a while, and it was already night outside.

The second floor is already spacious and there are many things. The concealment between them causes the most important gas lamps to go out, and most of the entire room is immediately swallowed up by the darkness. The sudden change obviously scares the singers and dancers in the performance. As soon as the music and dance stop, the quiet environment conveys an uncomfortable atmosphere.

The night wind from the sea surged into the building, blew up the tulle hanging from the pillars, making a "wavering" sound. The picture that should have been beautiful now shows a bit strange.

"Waiter! Waiter! What's going on with you? Where is the lamp?"

Someone shouted in panic.

"My guest officials, I'm really sorry, there is something wrong with the gas pipeline. Please be careful not to be impatient, it will be repaired soon."

A burst of rapid footsteps came, and someone panted and apologized to everyone. It should be the manager on the ship building.

After knowing that it was just a pipeline failure rather than other strange things, the originally quiet floor became noisy. Perhaps to cover up the previous panic, most people chose to vent with reprimand, and the man had to bear it and kept bowing and apologizing.

"Hey, return the purse to me!"

In the darkness, the girl was still caring about the purse she had taken away, staring at her eyes and handing the knife in her hand forward, and said in a muffled voice.

However, what responded to her was a palm that had been placed between her wrists at some point. As soon as she clenched and lifted, the fruit knife in her hand fell to the ground. The pain made the girl scream and struggled to escape. When she looked up, she saw a pair of eyes with cold light staring at her.

Somehow, she chose quiet.

"Xu Zhuo, pay attention to the surroundings, something is wrong."

Even after being explained, Lu Jing's brow showed no sign of loosening, and he reminded him in his throat,

When the lampstand next to him went out, Lu Jing's perception captured a trace of unusual aura, but this was just a flash of time. Lu Jing's ability was not enough to support him to follow the clues to find the source.

"Bloody!"

Almost at the same time, the two looked at each other and said in a muffled voice.

The girl next to her also smelled the strange smell floating in the air. She suddenly found that the bad man in front of her had let go of her hand at some point. She saw that his attention was no longer here, so she quickly turned around and fled.

Lu Jing let her go on purpose.

The reason is very simple. Compared to this little thief, there are more people in this house that need to be guarded against!

"Ah! There are dead people!"

The scream sounded the next second when the girl got up and left, and the dancers in the hall screamed and retreated to both sides, showing a woman sitting on a bench holding a lute in the back, with her head hanging down, dark red blood flowing along her drooping hair to the cloth blanket on the floor...

Seeing this scene, Lu Jing subconsciously looked at Xu Zhuo, and both of them saw confusion in each other's eyes.

You should know that from the time the lights are off to now, it will take only three minutes to complete the whole plan. When the deceased lights are on, Lu Jing still saw her playing the pipa, which means she died after the lights are off. The problem is that her position is between a group of dancers and musicians, and the light in the room is not so dim that she can't see her five fingers!

“What should I do now?”

Xu Zhuo adjusted his sitting position from his previous sitting position to a half-kneeling posture that could get up and move at any time, and turned his head to ask Lu Jing.

"Wait, there must be guards on this kind of large ship. When they come to deal with it, we are not the murderer, just watch from the side, there is no need to get involved."

Sitting cross-legged behind the wooden table, Lu Jing pinched the grapes brought by the female thief just now and threw them into his mouth, his eyes wandering around the room.

"When you run around everywhere at this time, you will be regarded as a prisoner who escapes... Tsk, I'm afraid I can't eat this meal tonight, so I'll eat some fruit to keep my stomach."

While Lu Jing and the others were eating fruits, the other guests were rolling and climbing up and rushing downstairs. They didn't care whether they would be suspected, and just wanted to escape from here quickly.

However, as Lu Jing said, a ship like the sea-walking flower boat that gathers a lot of wealth and personnel will naturally have its confidence in sailing on the sea and doing business.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three gunshots, and the guests who had just rushed down desperately immediately retreated at a faster speed. Then a team of guards holding torches, long swords and firearms on their waists. The uniform guards rushed to the second floor. At the end, a tall and thin man wearing a cloud-patterned jacket and holding a short cigarette gun in his mouth.

As soon as this man appeared, Lu Jing noticed the special aura that was faintly visible on this man, and he was clearly not an ordinary person.

"Manager Zhou Qing, you're here."

The man who apologized before also rushed out of the corner at this time, and was a wealthy middle-aged man.

"What's going on? Didn't it be said that there was only a problem with the pipeline, why did people suddenly die?"

Waving his hand to signal the two subordinates to check the situation first. Zhou Qing's face was calm, obviously a person who was used to life and death. While listening to the middle-aged man's report, he asked other guards to approach the crowd to control the situation. He looked around and said,

"Everyone, since something happened here, ours is still ours. In order to find the murderer, I have to feel sorry for you to wait here... This is also for everyone's safety. I think no one wants to stay in the same boat with a murderer, right?"

"Boss, something is wrong with this person."

At this time, the person who had just passed by to check the body said to this side with a ugly expression.

"You guys guard the stairs. Without me, no one is allowed to go up and down. If someone forcibly breaks, they will be the murderer and kill them!"

Zhou Qing lowered his face and ordered, then quickly walked towards the corpse.

Because of the intervention of the torch, the corpse that was originally shrouded in darkness could be seen clearly. Many people were watching, even though their faces were so scared that they were pale.

"The back of the head of the corpse seemed to have been chiseled open by something... It's really weird. It's almost impossible to do this without making a sound."

Relying on his tall figure, Lu Jing looked at the hideous wound behind the man's head, and soon came to a conclusion.

"The murderer is probably not an ordinary person, or he is not a human at all."

At this time, Zhou Qing was thinking about the same as Lu Jing. He stared at the hollow in the back of the body and his face was gloomy.

"Manager Zhou! We caught someone who ran away outside!"

Suddenly, a report came from the stairs, and Zhou Qing turned to respond,

“Bring it up!”

"Let me go, I'm not the murderer, that person wasn't the one I killed at all!"

Lu Jing was familiar with the clear voice, but when he saw the guy who was hard-hitting the stairs, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

"Captain, do you still remember my 'curse'? If the murderer was not a human, I might be able to help."
