When Zhuang Yi said this, everyone looked horrified and frightened.
Lian Li was so frightened that she felt as if all the bones had been pulled out of her body. She could only lean against the towering tree behind her to barely stay standing.
Who would have thought that in just a few minutes, he almost died twice.
She quickly glanced at Xiao Ba who was being held by Wen Xi, bit her lip and lowered her head.
"So, this thing also grows on your island?" As the team leader, Ling Liang was the first to come back to his senses and asked Xiaohua.
"Um."
"But even so, how could it get into our soup pot?" Ling looked at everyone with a bright gaze.
The camp suddenly fell silent, with only the crackling of the cooking fire remaining.
Gou Qing pondered for a moment before breaking the silence. "After spending these days together, we should all have gotten to know each other better. None of us have ulterior motives, so a conspiracy is unlikely. I think this thing probably got mixed in accidentally while cooking."
The fat chef was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down: "Old professor, how is this possible? Don't look at my big body, I am very careful. This is something I put into my mouth, and I am in the wild. How could I be so careless? Captain Ling knows me. We were in the same place when we joined the army!"
After the chef finished speaking, he looked at Ling Liang.
This matter involves human life and he didn't do it, so how can he take the blame!
Ling Liang frowned.
"Awu, did you make this soup today?"
"Yeah, we watched it from beginning to end, and we handled the dishes together!"
"you?"
"Yes, me, Miss Cheng, and Miss Xue, except for getting up halfway to add some firewood..." At this point, Chef Wu slapped his thigh and looked at Cheng and Xue in disbelief, "Could it be you who attacked me while I was gone? We just saved your lives!"
"How could it be, Brother Wu? Just like you said, you saved Ziqi and me, how could we hurt everyone? What's the difference between us and beasts? Besides, we have no reason to do this." Cheng Ruolin, who was pointed out, said calmly.
"People die for money and birds die for food. It's hard to explain." Chef Wu muttered.
"Chef Wu, if you say so, then everyone present here will be suspected. And I am a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. Even if I really did such a thing, how could I get such a mountain of wealth into my pocket? Not to mention that after I succeeded, I would not know the way at all and would really harm all of you. Even if I wanted to sail back alone, I would be in the dark. I don't even know if I can return to the country alive. What's the use of having more gold?" Cheng Ruolin looked aggrieved.
"That's the truth, but what if you have an accomplice..."
"Zi Qi and I met you on the way. How could we have any accomplices? Didn't you control the ship owner? He's no match for you. Also, when you went to add firewood, I happened to have a stomachache and went to the bathroom. Miss Lian and Miss Song were just getting something at that time. They should have seen it and can testify for me."
Lian Li was startled when her name was suddenly mentioned. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It seems to be the case."
Song Ting also nodded.
"So you were the only one standing by the soup pot?"
"No, it's none of my business." Seeing Chef Wu questioning him, Xue Ziqi shook his head and waved his hands, "I don't even know what lacquer flower is, how could I possibly use it to harm others!"
