Chapter 449 could not escape from his hands

Dịch máy

Qin Sheng's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect the doctor to suspect her. However, there were only her and Xiao Tao in the room. Xiao Tao wouldn't poison herself, so the suspect of the poisoning could only be her!

"I slept very early yesterday, so I don't know when Xiao Tao brought it in. And I didn't even know that snail existed," she said coldly.

"Miss, aren't your words too far-fetched? The chicken heart snail was on your desk!" the doctor said.

Qin Sheng snorted coldly. "Even if I wanted to kill someone, I wouldn't leave the heart snail as evidence. Wouldn't it be better if I threw it into the sea? Why would I leave it here?

"I didn't do this to Xiao Tao! Even if she died, there are still a bunch of bodyguards outside the room. I can't escape."

The doctor was choked by Qin Sheng's words.

"B-but, Captain, you have to investigate this matter carefully. No matter what, this woman is the most suspicious!"

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. You'll just have to lock me up," Qin Sheng snapped.

Weale raised his hand and ordered everyone in the room to leave. His eyes narrowed on the little woman.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll lock you up in the cargo hold for five days?"

"You won't," Qin Sheng said indifferently.

"Why won't I?" Weale asked.

"Because I'm money when I'm alive. I'm worthless to you when I'm dead," Qin Sheng said.

Weale snorted coldly. "Well said. So you're certain that I won't kill you? Do you think you can escape the auction like this?"

He reached out his hand towards Qin Sheng, his fingers pinching her chin.

Qin Sheng pursed her lips. So, Weale suspected that she wanted to use this method to escape from the auction...

However, he had to admit that this was a good idea. If she could have stalled for a few days, she might have had a chance to see Du Can, or Gong Mochen might have found her!

"A dead person is a big matter. If you don't investigate thoroughly, you'll definitely make the people on the ship panic. No one is more afraid of death than the rich, because they want to enjoy their glory and wealth."

"You're right. I do want to investigate this matter, but don't run away from what you should do. General Eagle will be back soon. He's your first guest! Auction you off as usual tonight!" Weale said. He didn't expect this woman to cause him such big trouble!

He turned around to leave the room.

A bodyguard ran over to report to him. Someone had already asked for a refund of the deposit because this woman had taken a life. Those rich people didn't want to pay money for this woman anymore.

Weale's brows were tightly knitted. It was affecting his income. With this disturbance, the price of the auction wouldn't be as high. "B*stard! Investigate it immediately! We must clarify it!"

He still had one more day. He had to investigate the matter before the auction!

Qin Sheng's hands were clenched into fists. Was General Eagle coming?

Damn that Du Can! She was sure that Du Can didn't think about why she knew his full name...

Du Can definitely didn't have the brain cells to think about this. All of his mind was focussed on the auction.

"D*mn, did you hear? That woman ruthlessly poisoned the maid who served her! I won't be auctioning tonight. I've already spoken to the lobby manager and asked him to refund the deposit.

"This is the problem of the woman they found, not my problem. Weale must refund all the money to me!" Luo Zhi said.

"Poisoned the maid? What's going on?" Du Can asked.

"You still don't know? Now that everyone is asking for a refund, you should ask too! That woman has caused so much trouble! She's committed a crime. It's not worth the risk or hassle," Luo Zhi ridiculed.

Yan Fei seized the opportunity. "Master Du, you really don't know? I heard that she used a conch snail to kill the maid. The mucus of that snail is poisonous. Eating a small amount of it would kill you!"

She held Du Can's arm. She originally wanted to finish Qin Sheng off, but who knew that the little maid was so greedy that she actually drank Qin Sheng's sour plum soup!

However, it didn't matter if Qin Sheng didn't die, as she had become the biggest suspect in a murder. Yan Fei didn't believe that Weale would still be able to auction off that woman under such circumstances!

"Oh my God! She is such a vicious woman. Not worth the money or time," Luo Zhi said.

Who would do such a thing to an innocent person? And what was the reason for it? The maid was there to serve, and she had been killed in cold blood!

"Yes, this kind of woman is too vicious. Look, she even hit my face yesterday. My face is still swollen!" Yan Fei said loudly.

Du Can's brows furrowed. "She is indeed too dangerous!"

"I will help you get a refund, if you like?" Yan Fei said.

"Alright, fine, I'll ask for a refund," Du Can said.

The woman's appearance flashed in his mind, and a small electric current passed through his fingertips.

Du Can...

The woman's voice echoed in his ears.

Strange... Why was her voice so familiar?

Du Can's hand scratched his head. Her voice was so familiar!

Yan Fei rushed to get a refund for Du Can, and she stopped at the doctor's office on her way.

"What happened then? Was I right?" she asked the doctor.

"You were right. Xiao Tao was killed by conch poisoning. Weale is investigating the matter now. Why don't you tell him that Xiao Tao told you that Miss Yun asked her to find this kind of snail for her?" the doctor said.

"I'm not going to say anything! What if others suspect me? Yesterday, when Xiao Tao and I were eating ice cream, she told me that Miss Yun asked her to find that snail. Only the two of us know about that. Don't tell others. I don't want to cause trouble!" Yan Fei said to the doctor.

She was afraid that Weale would suspect her if she said anything. She told the doctor the lie that she made up. She was forming an alliance in order to make the doctor question Qin Sheng.

She just wanted to hide behind the scenes! That way, she could direct the situation into her favor and not be found out.

"If you don't want to cause trouble, then forget it. But now that Weale is investigating the matter, if you tell him, you might be able to get the reward money!" the doctor said.

"I don't want the reward money. Tell me, what did Weale do to that woman?" Yan Fei couldn't wait to know what happened to Qin Sheng!

She didn't believe that Weale would keep a woman who had been rejected and couldn't be auctioned!

"That woman is still in her room. I heard that General Feiying is coming," the doctor replied.

"What? What does General Feiying have to do with her?" Yan Fei asked.

"General Feiying wants this woman. The captain will wait until General Feiying has enjoyed her before auctioning her off," the doctor said.

A vicious light flashed in Yan Fei's eyes. She didn't know how Qin Sheng was able to seduce General Feiying. It seemed that every man wanted her!

"Is General Feiying not afraid of death? Does he still dare to have this woman?"
