　　Twenty corpses were floating on the river surface.
They were all facing the water with their backs to the sky, their limbs spread out, and their clothes were bulging after being soaked by the river water, looking extremely strange.
　　At this time, the sky was getting dark.
The appearance of these twenty floating corpses cast a creepy atmosphere over the gloomy canyon.
　　“Boss, could they be…”
　　Before Xiao Zhan could finish his sentence, he heard Ye Qiu say to the Long-browed True Man： “Old thing, is this the so-called very auspicious omen you mentioned？”
　　The Long-Browed True Man also didn’t expect such a situation. His eyes rolled around twice and said, “Little brat, don’t worry. Maybe these deceased are not the people on this ship.”
　　Ye Qiu sneered, “There are twenty Longmen disciples on this ship, and now there are twenty floating corpses on the river. You still say they aren’t！”
　　The Long-Browed True Man’s eyelids flipped, “You haven’t seen their faces. How can you be sure they are the people on this ship？”
　　Hmph,　still　quibbling.
　　Ye Qiu snorted coldly and said, “Wait until I fish them up and see what else you have to say.”
　　“ Xiao Zhan ，go get the tools.”
　　“Prepare to fish up the corpses.”
　　 Xiao Zhan quickly ran into the cabin and took out something similar to a fishing rod. At the very front of the fishing rod, there was a small pulley. On the pulley, a very thin copper wire was wound, and the copper wire was hanging an iron hook like an eagle’s claw.
　　This is a corpse fishing rod commonly used by corpse fishermen.
　　 Xiao Zhan stood on the deck, aimed at a floating corpse on the river, and then gave a gentle flick.
　　Huā lā——
　　The iron hook was thrown out and accurately caught a floating corpse.
　　“Pull up！”
Xiao Zhan shouted loudly. With his right arm holding the corpse fishing rod, he pulled the floating corpse from the water onto the deck.
　　He was just about to go and check the dead body when he was stopped by Ye Qiu.
　　“Stop！”
　　“The cause of death is not clear for the time being. Be careful of poison.”
　　“Let me do it！”
　　Ye Qiu walked to the corpse and squatted down, turning the corpse over. Suddenly, a dead face appeared.
　　This was a young man, about twenty years old.
　　“I　know　him.”
　　 Xiao Zhan let out a cry of surprise and said, “His name is Zhang Wei and he is a disciple of our Dragon Gate.”
　　Ye Qiu carefully examined the corpse.
　　He found that Zhang Wei’s face was swollen, cyanotic, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was bloody foam in his nasal cavity and oral cavity.
　　Especially Zhang Wei’s eyes, the eyeballs protruded very severely, as if he suffered from very severe hyperthyroidism.
　　“Boss, how did Zhang Wei die？” Xiao Zhan asked.
　　Ye Qiu said, “Based on these symptoms on his body, it can be preliminarily determined that he died of drowning.”
　　“Drowning？” Xiao Zhan was stunned. “This is impossible. Zhang Wei is best at swimming.”
　　Ye Qiu asked Xiao Zhan , “Are you very familiar with him？”
　　 Xiao Zhan explained, “I saw Zhang Wei in the capital a few days ago. Among the three thousand elite disciples of the Dragon Gate that Zhuque was going to take away, there was him.”
　　“Zhuque sent me a form earlier, which contained the detailed information of the twenty disciples on the Dragon Prosperity No. 2.”
　　“It was specifically marked that Zhang Wei is good at swimming, and he has participated in national-level swimming competitions many times before and won championships.”
　　 Xiao Zhan felt incredible and said, “I can’t figure it out. How could a person who is so good at swimming drown？”
　　The Long-browed True Man said, “Lad, have you ever heard a saying that if you often walk by the river, there’s no way your shoes won’t get wet？”
Many people often die in the field they are most good at in.
For example, killers are most good at killing people, but they, in the end, basically will all be killed by others.
　　“So, there’s nothing strange about this.”
　　Ye Qiu asked, ” Xiao Zhan , on the information Vermilion Bird gave you, did it say if Zhang Wei suffered from any diseases？”
　　 Xiao Zhan opened the form and took a look, and replied, “In the column of Zhang Wei’s physical condition, the word ‘healthy’ is written.”
　　 Ye Qiu nodded： “I see. Fish out all the other corpses.”
　　 Xiao Zhan immediately got to work.
　　A few minutes later.
　　The remaining nineteen corpses were all fished up, and Xiao Zhan neatly placed these corpses together.
　　 Ye Qiu then ordered Xiao Zhan ： “Check one by one to see if these people are the ones who disappeared on this ship？”
　　”Yes.”
　　 Xiao Zhan held the mobile phone and carefully identified the photos and corpses in the form.
　　”Wang Lei.”
　　”Li Jun.”
　　”Zhang Tao.”
　　”Wang Shuai.”
　　”Huang Wei.”
　　“……”
　　Soon, Xiao Zhan finished the identification and reported to Ye Qiu, “Boss, after careful verification, these twenty deceased are exactly the twenty disciples of the Dragon Gate who disappeared on this Longchang No. 2.”
　　Ye Qiu looked at the Long-browed True Man and sneered, “Old thing, your divination is really accurate！”
The Long-browed True Man heard that Ye Qiu was sarcastic about him, but he didn’t get angry. He said with a smile. “I am the number one divine calculator in the world and have never made a wrong divination. But if I tell the truth, it is revealing the secrets of heaven. Therefore, I can only say the opposite.”
　　Ye Qiu despised and said, “Quibbling.”
　　“How is this quibbling? Don’t you know that once those fortune-tellers tell the truth, they will encounter heavenly punishment. They will either go blind at least or suffer backlash and die at worst.”
　　The Long-browed True Man said righteously, “So, even if I calculate the result, I will say the opposite.”
　　“As for whether you can understand it, it depends on your perception.”
　　Xiao Zhan cursed, “I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen such a shameless one.”
　　“Who the hell are you talking about？” The Long-browed True Man glared at Xiao Zhan. “Have the guts to say it again. Do you believe that I’ll throw you into the river and feed the fish？”
　　Xiao Zhan closed his mouth.
　　Facing a strong person who has cultivated nine true qi, he was still a little afraid.
　　“All right, let’s do business.”
　　After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he began to check the cause of death of these Dragon Gate disciples.
　　He discovered that the condition of each corpse was almost the same. There were no external injuries on their bodies, nor were they poisoned. Just judging from their facial expressions, they all seemed to have drowned.
　　Ye Qiu furrowed his brows： “So many people, and among them there are those who are good at swimming. How could they all have drowned? This is too abnormal.”
　　”Before they died, they must have encountered something.”
　　”What could it be？”
　　 Xiao Zhan asked： “Could it be that before they died, they encountered some sudden situation, for example, a tornado？”
　　As soon as these words were spoken, he was severely scolded by the Long Eyebrow True Man.
You ignorant thing! This is a canyon with high mountains and calm waters. How could a tornado occur here?
　　”Even if, by some extremely remote chance, a tornado did occur, their first reaction should have been to run into the cabin to take shelter. It’s impossible for all twenty people to have drowned.”
　　”Also, if a tornado really did occur, then why isn’t this ship damaged at all？”
　　 Xiao Zhan also knew that what the Long Eyebrow True Man said made a lot of sense, but he was not willing to admit defeat and instead asked： “Since you, True Man, say that they didn’t die from a tornado, then tell me, how did they die？”
　　”How would I know.”
　　”Why don’t you know？ Weren’t you supposed to know everything about astronomy above, geography below, and all things in the world？”
　　”You little bastard, I, I’ll beat you to death！” Rolling up his sleeves, he was about to take action.
　　Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s voice rang out.
　　”I know how they died.”
