When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

Chapter 525 Interrogation

Upon hearing this, Hua Zifeng immediately looked at the crew member and asked, "Who ordered you to do this?"

"Yes... yes..." The crew member thought quickly in his mind, and then said hurriedly: "It's a woman."

What a woman!

Hua Zifeng immediately understood. Sure enough, he was right about Susan. So he asked, "Please tell me more specifically. Who is that woman? Do you know her? What does she look like?"

The crewman rolled his eyes and said hurriedly, "I don't know the woman's name either. She was the one who had an argument with Miss Angela on the first day on board. It seemed that the two of them had an argument because of a man."

The crew member did not know Su Qing's alias, but many people knew about the dispute between Su Qing and Angela that day. The crew member happened to have heard about the gossip, so he pushed everything onto Su Qing. He felt that as long as they pushed the blame on Su Qing, the guilt on them would be much smaller, because in this way they would just be following orders and be accomplices.

"Are you sure?" Hua Zifeng asked.

"Sure, sure." The crew member said hurriedly, "The woman said that she wanted us to teach Miss Angela a lesson, so we...we did that thing."

As the crew member spoke, he lowered his head guiltily, afraid that Hua Zifeng would see the panic in his eyes.

Hua Zifeng turned around and looked at the other two crew members: "Is that so?"

"Yes." The two crew members shrank their necks and nodded quickly: "That's right."

The two of them also understood what their companion meant. In order to reduce their own guilt, it would be best to find a scapegoat at this time. As long as the three of them bit the man to death, it would be clear that it was the woman who instigated them, and then the possibility of them being lightly punished would be much greater.

Hua Zifeng frowned and asked, "What benefits did the other party give you?"

After hearing what Hua Zifeng said, the other two crew members looked at the first crew member who spoke. Just as that crew member was about to speak, Hua Zifeng said, "Wait a minute."

The three crew members were stunned, not knowing what Hua Zifeng was going to do.

Hua Zifeng ordered his assistant: "Find a few people to come over and take these two people out first."

"Yes." The assistant responded quickly and left the utility room.

The three crew members all showed some fear in their eyes when they heard that. Hua Zifeng saw it, and he narrowed his eyes slightly without saying anything. He stared at the three of them with his sharp eyes, and the three of them unconsciously avoided his gaze.

After a while, the assistant brought a few strong men and took the other two crew members out according to Hua Zifeng's instructions.

Hua Zifeng looked at the crew member who stayed behind and said calmly, "Tell me, what benefit did the woman you mentioned give you that made you treat Miss Angela like this?"

The crew member swallowed nervously and said, "She said she would give us money after the job is done. A lot of money."

"How much is it exactly?" Hua Zifeng asked.

The crew member was a little panicked, his eyes rolling around. How had he known how much money it was? Because Hua Zifeng came suddenly, he was looking for a scapegoat on a whim. But now looking at Hua Zifeng's intention, it was obvious that he wanted to question the three people separately. What if the amount didn't match?

"I'm asking you a question, please answer honestly. How much specific amount did that woman promise to give you?" Hua Zifeng saw that the crew member was hesitating, and doubts arose in his heart, and his tone became much harsher.

Hua Zifeng had handled many cases, and his voice was fierce and intimidating. The crew member was just an ordinary man, and he was so scared that he didn't care about anything else and just said a number: "Ten...ten gold bars."

"Ten gold bars!" Hua Zifeng narrowed his eyes: "Haha, it's really a big deal."

Nowadays in Xiangcheng, the most widely circulated gold bar is yellow croaker. Generally speaking, ten gold bars refer to ten yellow croakers. You should know that one yellow croaker weighs 312.5 grams. Ten yellow croakers are equivalent to nearly Xiang coins.

The crew member lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything else, for fear of making too much noise.

Hua Zifeng snorted coldly and asked his assistant to bring in another crew member. When asked the same question, this crew member's answer was obviously different from the first crew member's. Similarly, the third crew member's answer was even more different from the first two.

After questioning the three crew members, Hua Zifeng left the utility room with his assistant. Before leaving, he instructed the gatekeeper to keep a close eye on the three men.

The assistant then whispered to Hua Zifeng: "Mr. Hua, are we still going to look for Miss Susan?"

"Go." Hua Zifeng nodded.

The assistant hesitated: "But the statements of these three crew members are different. I'm afraid Miss Susan has nothing to do with this matter."

This assistant has been with Hua Zifeng for quite some time, and he knows a lot of things. The three crew members just now were obviously talking nonsense. If it was really Miss Susan who instructed them, they could not be unaware of the remuneration. After all, this is murder. If they were hired, who would be willing to do the job without satisfactory remuneration?

"I know." Hua Zifeng said. At the beginning, because of his preconceived notion about Su Qing, he did think that Su Qing was the mastermind behind this matter. However, when he saw the evasive eyes of several crew members and their messy words that didn't match up at all, he understood in his heart that Su Qing might have nothing to do with this matter. As for why Angela and several crew members bit Su Qing, he roughly understood their mentality. It was nothing more than jealousy and the desire to find a scapegoat to reduce their own guilt.

"Since you know it has nothing to do with Miss Susan, why do you still go to her?" The assistant was a little confused.

"I am quite interested in Miss Susan now." Hua Zifeng narrowed his eyes.

It was Su Qing's contradictory temperament that made Hua Zifeng particularly curious. Moreover, Hua Zifeng had an impulse. He wanted to dig into the lives that Su Qing was involved in. He was 100% sure that Su Qing had killed people, and more than one.

"Ah!" The assistant blinked and said nothing more. He silently followed Hua Zifeng to the outside of Su Qing's room.

However, Hua Zifeng knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Su Qing is not in the room!

At this time, Su Qing was having a great time catching fish on the deck.

Su Qing was lucky today, she encountered another wave of cuttlefish. With shining eyes, she controlled the vines to continuously catch cuttlefish in the sea. Looking at the gradually increasing number of cuttlefish in the space, Su Qing couldn't help but smile.

When she gets back, she will ask her mother to make stewed hairtail fish for her. She knows that the stewed hairtail fish made by Li Wan is delicious and it is her favorite dish.

"Miss Susan is in a good mood and has come to the deck to enjoy the scenery again."

Su Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes. What an annoying voice!
