Boom!

It sounded like a fall from the bed.

"What?"

"Miss Vivian!?" Zhao Jie's surprised voice came from the room.

Immediately after a trot...

Squeak.

The door of the guest room in front of him was quickly opened, and what appeared in Zhao Jie's line of sight, outside the door, was indeed the little girl he met today, Vivian.

Then, at the next moment.

Before Zhao Jie, who was full of doubts, opened his mouth to ask, in his pupils, the fist from Vivian became bigger and bigger, until it filled his entire field of vision.

Boom!

After the muffled sound.

After raising his legs and stepping over, Zhao Jie, who fell unconscious on the floor, and Liao Zixuan, who transformed into a little girl, walked into the room and closed the door.

...

...

"Uh..." It sounded like a hoarse moan after waking up from a nightmare.

Zhao Jie wanted to reach out and rub his temples, but for some reason his head hurts so much, as if someone had punched him hard.

Hiss... Then again, is this the nightmare he had just now? Got knocked out when you open the door?

And the protagonist of the nightmare that he actually dreamed of was the little girl named "Vivian" who had known each other for less than half a day.

really...

Is it because of the influence of "that thing"?

Zhao Jie has just woken up, and his mind is still unclear, but even if he is still awake, he can still realize one event, and that is...

Huh?

Hand, why can't you move?

No, not just the hands, but also the feet, the body...

Wait, what the hell is this!

The sense of binding from his limbs finally felt like a basin of cold water, causing Zhao Jie, who had just woken up after being knocked unconscious, to be completely awake.

He finally realized that although he was still in his own room, he was tightly bound to the chair, just like a prisoner who was arrested.

Zhao Jie struggled desperately instinctively, shaking the chair violently, but with his weak physique as a middle-aged businessman, he was useless at all, and the rope tied to him did not move at all.

Instead he...

thump!

"Whoops, whoops, it hurts...it hurts to death..." A pained wailing sounded in the room.

Looking at Zhao Jie, who was clumsy and fell to the ground in extreme panic, even his chair and man, and Liao Zixuan, who was also in the room, hidden in a corner, and observed secretly, frowned.

This seems to be much different from the man behind the scenes he imagined...?

In fact, when Zhao Jie was knocked unconscious with a single punch, Liao Zixuan noticed that the facts seemed to be a little different from what he had planned.

Seeing that this continues, before he can observe again, I am afraid that Zhao Jie will be overwhelmed by the chair.

So, footsteps sounded, and Liao Zixuan disguised Vivian finally walked out of the shadow of the room.

"Miss Vivian, this, what is this...!?"

When Zhao Jie saw the figure of the little girl, his face was horrified, full of incomprehension and fear. He only realized now that the memory fragment in his mind was not a nightmare, but a real occurrence.

"Listen, next, whatever I ask you, you can answer honestly."

From Zhao Jie's perspective, when she was on the deck, this little girl who appeared to be very soft and weak, and was very talkative, seemed to have a big change in her temperament at this moment. Not only was her expression extremely cold, but her voice also contained a threat meaning.

All of these have given Zhao Jie a feeling that if he doesn't follow the other party's advice, then he is really likely to die.

Do not...

He can't die!

How could he just die outside before "that thing" was over!

Stimulated by the desire to survive, Zhao Jie himself had a lot of experience. He was smart and did not resist, did not struggle and question, but showed a very cooperative look.

"Say, what Miss Vivienne wants to know, I say, I say it all!"

opposite.

Looking at Zhao Jie's snot and tears now, as if he was an innocent person who suffered an innocent disaster, Liao Zixuan's heart was a little shaken.

Now the feeling of "looking in the wrong direction" has taken up more than half of it, but the matter has come to this point, some doubts about Zhao Jie still need to be asked.

Just like...

"Tell me, why are you staring at me?"

"What... what do you mean? Miss Vivian, I, I don't quite understand..." Zhao Jie asked stutteringly.

"Do you think I can't see that you are approaching me on purpose? From the moment you approached me, tell me your purpose and why it was me."

Looking up, in the dark room opposite, sitting on a chair, condescendingly, staring coldly at his little girl, Zhao Jie shook his head in fear.

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Miss Vivian!"

"Yes, I admit that I did intend to approach you, but, but I will vouch for my life! I have absolutely nothing against you or hurt anyone!"

For this reason, and since his own life was in the hands of others, Zhao Jie didn't have the slightest intention of arguing, and began to explain everything truthfully.

"Because the Astorogis was

, When I set sail, I happened to be in the bathroom. I didn't have to stay in my room like other passengers according to regulations, but when I hurried out and wanted to go back to my room..."

"I just saw that you and Miss Luko were standing together and chatting happily. That's why...that's why I was on the Astorogis, after the official voyage, I hurried Run out of the room and look for you, Miss Vivienne."

After Zhao Jie tried his best to explain the words, although Liao Zixuan's expression did not change, he nodded in his heart.

This information point, whether it is "this time" or in the memory experienced "last time", can be corroborated.

Liao Zixuan remembers very clearly that on the deck, when Vivian was entangled by the shining-eyed female astrologer, Zhao Jie said it out of desperation in order to drink the other party back...

The phrase "the lady beside me is even more of a friend of Lord Luko".

At that time, Liao Zixuan, because he was all focused on the female astrologer, didn't hear it for a while, and realized that this sentence was wrong.

But now.

Indeed, it stands to reason that Zhao Jie had just met Vivian at the time, and he didn't even say a few words. How did he know that he was so certain about the relationship between the little girl and Luzi?

but.

"Go on, then." Liao Zixuan didn't stop there.

After all, Zhao Jie only explained the reason for the first "why she is a little girl", and the second "why" or "purpose" has not been said yet.

"Actually, to be honest, Miss Vivian, I told you before that I am a businessman from Guili, or the second shopkeeper of the Flying Bird Chamber of Commerce, these... are actually lying to you, there is nothing in Guili. Bird Chamber of Commerce, I'm not a rich man either."

"In fact, I failed to do business in Guili, and I owed a lot of debt. I really couldn't pay it back. So in order not to affect my wife and daughter, I had no choice but to go abroad to escape the debt."

"However, although I was escaping debts, I could escape for a while, but not forever. I have always wanted to start a big business abroad, make a comeback, and make enough money, so that I can go back to reunion and put the debts away. Pay off, reunite with... and my wife and daughter I haven't seen for more than ten years..."

Zhao Jie said finally, his voice choked up.

This is the truth of "that thing" that he has been accumulating in his heart.

It can be seen that on the face of the middle-aged man who has gone through the vicissitudes of life, there is a mixture of sorrow and pain that he cannot return to his family and cannot see his relatives.

Turning out the heaviest things in his heart, Zhao Jie seems to have aged a lot. Now it doesn't look like he is being interrogated by Liao Zixuan, but more like a kind of... repentance of Zhao Jie himself?

"Before we left, all businessmen knew that information was equal to money, and whoever grasped the market conditions in advance would be able to bring home full of gold coins. It seems to be a big opportunity, a big business that can make money, so I put all my belongings on it, bought an expensive ferry ticket, and then carefully observed the movements of Lord Luzi secretly."

"Finally, the hard work pays off. I found that as soon as Lord Luzi arrived in Yanyu, he quietly purchased a large amount of goods and hoarded them in the bottom warehouse of the Astorogis. During the mooring period, I secretly visited once. , but the environment there was really bad, I was dizzy within a few minutes, and secondly, the goods of Lord Luzi were all sealed so tightly that I had no way of knowing that the box What's in it?"

Zhao Jie's eyes showed memories, and Liao Zixuan could also find evidence in it, and this time it was more powerful evidence that Zhao Jie didn't lie.

Because the corroboration this time is simply that it only happened in the "last" experience.

Remember, Zhao Jie and Vivian separated because of him this time, but last time, Zhao Jie and the little girl saw the incident of the coolie and the overseer.

At that time, Zhao Jie also expressed emotion to Vivian, saying that he had been to the lower cabin, and gave the little girl a detailed description of what it looked like there. At that time, the little wolf cub was a bit strange. Zhao Jie had nothing to do. What is the place for?

Now, this doubt has also been answered.

Of course, there is a new intelligence information that is...

That Miss Luzi, hoarding a lot of goods under the cabin?

When Liao Zixuan was thinking in his heart, Zhao Jie's explanation voice was still ringing.

"While I was scratching my head and scratching my head, I saw the scene between you and Miss Luzi, so I thought, I want to get close to you and have a good relationship with you, so that maybe I can find out from your mouth. What exactly is the batch of goods that Miss Luzi brought in in Yanyu!"

"In this way, after I arrive at Qiandao, I immediately take out a loan and purchase the same category of goods as Lord Luzi, and I can definitely make a fortune!"

When Zhao Jie said this, his expression was still excited, as if he was imagining in his mind the scene where he stocked up in advance, then followed the trend and sold it, making a lot of money.

But of course, he soon became depressed and lost, leaving only the irony of himself.

"Hey, I knew that a distinguished guest who could be treated like that by Lord Luzi could be a fledgling girl..."

"So, Miss Vivienne, you can see, I, I'm just an opportunistic, at most a little clever businessman, I... I'm blind, I really shouldn't count on you on the head

! "

"I beg you, let me go, I promise, I will never tell you what happened today, and I won't look at you again in the next voyage!"

Zhao Jie burst into tears, begging for Vivian who was disguised by Liao Zixuan, and even finally burst into tears.

"Miss Vivienne, I, I really can't die, please forgive me, everything I said is true, you can look at my desk, there is a pocket watch I always carry, and it contains my daughter's In the photo, her name is Xing'er, they are still waiting for me to go back, I... I can't die!"

After Zhao Jie's words, Liao Zixuan walked to the table and found that it was indeed the case. After opening the pocket watch, there was a cute little girl who was seven or eight years old. She had a standard return face, and looked a little bit like Zhao Jie. exist.

This point is also corroborated in the "last" experience. Zhao Jie did mention to Vivian that he has a daughter who has not seen each other for many years. Considering her age, she should be about the same age as Vivian now.

pat.

Close the pocket watch and put it back in place.

Zhao Jie only felt a flower in front of him, and he was lifted up from the ground, and even the ropes that had bound him fell off one after another.

"Thank you, thank you Vivian...Lord Vivian! Many thanks to Lord Vivian for raising your hand! More..."

"okay."

Liao Zixuan waved his hand a little irritably.

"Remember what you said last, it's better to keep everything that happened just now in your heart, if you dare to say it..."

Without any more threats from Liao Zixuan, Zhao Jie threw himself on the ground with a thud, kneeling tremblingly, completely frightened.

squeak...

Bang.

After leaving Zhao Jie's room, looking out of the cabin, it was gradually darkening, entering the night sky, in the corridor, Liao Zixuan frowned tightly.

By interrogating Zhao Jie, he can almost rule out Zhao Jie's suspicion, but this is not a good thing, because...

The trail is broken.

If it wasn't for Zhao Jie, who in the end poisoned them?

The poisoner must have poisoned a specific food, knowing that Vivian would definitely eat this, and this food could only be the "boiled fish" that Zhao Jie recommended to them at that time, but besides Zhao Jie, who else? Know this information?

Or...

My own direction is wrong, is it not poisonous?

If you think about it like this, there are indeed many doubts. For example, if you are really poisoned, why is there no prompt in the system? Is there any poison that can be done, so that he can't resist or detect this forbidden monster?

What is even more strange is that, logically speaking, poisoning is all because of insufficient strength, and it is impossible to defeat the enemy on the surface, but it is possible to have a poison that even the "system" has concealed. The level can be imagined. If you want to kill Vivian, shouldn't you just move your fingers, and why bother?

The more he combed, Liao Zixuan's head became bigger and bigger, and his brows were furrowed more tightly, because there were too many things he didn't understand.

but.

At least this time he and the little girl, Liao Zixuan has been staring at the game panel, and the state is normal, so what he has to do now is one thing.

Waiting for the rabbit.

Since you can't find any clues, let the clues come to you!

Let's see if the "intruder" in his memory will appear tonight after he has already intervened!
