"I stand by every word I said. I hadn't had much to drink, and I was perfectly clear-headed. I remember first having a stomachache, and then in a very short time, the pain turned into dizziness. I collapsed on the stern and couldn't get up. I want to know how you all felt after drinking the wine last night," Jia Wenjun said, looking at the others.

"Well, now that you mention it, I did feel something was off. I did feel very dizzy after drinking the wine last night, and I just felt unwell. After I went back to my room early, I felt like I had high blood pressure, top-heavy and unsteady. I even took two pills to lower my blood pressure after lying down for a while," said Teacher Lin.

"I can usually hold my liquor, but I only drank beer yesterday, and I fell into a deep sleep. I was as drunk as if I had downed two bottles of baijiu," Old Man Wang said. "So, there's something wrong with the wine."

Anna protested, "What could be wrong with the wine? All the bottles were opened right in front of you. Even if there was something wrong with the wine, it couldn't be my wine. I only buy good wine."

"You buy good wine, and mine isn't?" Lü Maowang retorted unhappily. "Old Man Wang and Teacher Lin are older; isn't it normal for them to have a stronger reaction? Didn't Old Hu and I drink until the end? If there was something wrong with the wine, we all would have passed out early."

Old Man Wang looked at Jia Wenjun. "Little Jia, can you still find those wine bottles from last night?"

"I've looked, and there aren't any left. When I woke up on the stern, the boat was already spotless, and even the leftovers from last night's meal were gone," Jia Wenjun said, turning her gaze to room seven in the shadows.

Everyone on the boat felt that something was wrong. Everyone had drunk a lot of wine last night, but now not a single bottle or glass could be found. This abnormal situation could only mean that the boat had been cleaned up. Who would do that except someone trying to destroy evidence?

If there was really something in the wine that knocked everyone out, what was this person's purpose? To kill Zhao Di? Why go to such lengths? Who has such a big grudge against Zhao Di?

Is Zhao Di's disappearance related to the boat being tampered with? If not, is this person only killing Zhao Di, or are they going to kill everyone on the boat?

Thinking about these things made everyone's hair stand on end.

The north wind howled, and the already weak flames were nearly extinguished. The sea in April was still cold and damp. The sun had already sunk into the sea, and the night sea was bitterly cold. The chill enveloped the relatively stable hull, no longer swaying after the tide had gone out, making everyone shiver.

Anna's body was already close to its limit, and now the things everyone was discussing were psychologically unacceptable to her. She screamed, trying to dispel the fear in her heart.

Anna didn't want them to speculate further and further, so she interrupted, "Don't guess wildly. Zhao Di was drunk. She went to the stern in that state and probably fell into the water when the boat was rocking. The cry for help that Little Jia heard was probably her shouting before she fell into the water. You're making this sound more and more mysterious, turning it into a murder case. Don't believe or spread rumors."

"Even if she fell into the water herself, it's still creepy," Teacher Lin said, looking at the dark railing.

"You're just guessing that she fell into the water herself. Who knows what really happened? I think we should take turns standing guard every night and not all fall asleep," Sun Jiao Jiao said, protecting her stomach. She was thinking ahead. If someone really wanted to harm everyone on the boat, they couldn't just sit and wait for death.

"Weren't you the one constantly pouring wine for Zhao Di?" Hao Jie Ning pointed at Lü Maowang, vaguely remembering the scene of Lü Maowang being active at the dinner table. "That wine never left your side."

Hao Jie Ning's thoughts were the same as Sun Jiao Jiao's: she couldn't let anything happen to her child on this boat.

Lü Maowang did love to drink, enjoyed drinking, and was even somewhat dependent on alcohol, especially when he encountered good wine, he couldn't control himself. But hearing such words, he couldn't stand it: "Don't talk nonsense. According to you, I also saw you secretly pouring out the wine in your glass. Don't think I didn't see it. I thought you were being wasteful at the time, but now I suspect you knew there was poison in the wine, so you didn't drink it."

"You're talking nonsense. I poured it out because I didn't want to get drunk. But even though I didn't drink much, I still felt tinnitus and numbness."

"Mommy, I feel that way too," Nao Nao said, tugging at Hao Jie Ning's clothes.

"Don't interrupt when adults are talking," Hao Jie scolded Nao Nao, venting her anger on him.

Nao Nao's words caught Jia Wenjun's attention. She pondered for a few seconds and suddenly felt a jolt. She quickly came to Nao Nao's front. "Nao Nao, tell Auntie, do you really feel a tingling in your lips?"

"I still feel it a little bit now," Nao Nao nodded, gesturing to his mouth with his hand.

Everyone fell silent. Nao Nao didn't drink any wine. If Nao Nao's mouth was also numb, it meant that the drug might not have been in the wine, but in the food.

"We've probably been poisoned," Jia Wenjun frowned.

Old Man Wang agreed with Jia Wenjun's judgment: "This person wants to make everyone on the boat lose consciousness."

"What food is poisonous? We ate the most fish last night," Anna pointed the finger at the fish that everyone had eaten. "It's definitely the fish. Didn't Sun Jiao Jiao just say that spitting out the fish made her feel better?"

"What Anna said makes sense. Mackerel can indeed cause poisoning," Old Man Wang also felt there was something wrong with the fish. "When I was young, I was poisoned by this fish. I even went to the hospital."

"Everyone was there when we were making and grilling the fish. People were coming and going, so it was impossible to poison it," Sun Jiao Jiao, who cooked the fish, was the first to clear herself.

"Then the problem must have occurred when handling the fish!" Teacher Lin turned to look at Jia Wenjun. "You were the only one handling the fish at the time."

Jia Wenjun said coldly, "Teacher Lin, you were right next to me at the time, and you even told me about your son. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Teacher Lin immediately said, "I, I left later, didn't I? I don't know who was with you after I left."

Hu Si Xiang sneered, looking at Hao Jie Ning: "You went to find Little Jia, didn't you? No wonder you went to find her. You and that Gong fellow had already planned it out, hadn't you? You wanted to knock us all out so you could do your thing."

Hao Jie Ning didn't expect Hu Si Xiang to slander her like this at this time. People say that a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Even if they were getting a divorce, she had given him a son after all, and had taken care of their family for so many years. How could he pin the blame of "poisoning" on her head and say such heartless words?

"Hu Si Xiang, you bastard!" Hao Jie rushed out from behind Hu Si Xiang, preparing to kick him in the back of the head, but Sun Jiao Jiao forcefully stopped her. "Make it clear, was it you?"

"It wasn't me. I'm a victim!" Hao Jie Ning was about to explode with anger. "Hu Si Xiang, you're slandering me in front of our child. You'll die a horrible death!" Hao Jie Ning cried out in anger and was about to take Hu Si Xiang down with her.

The child was so scared that he started crying, the dog kept barking wildly, and the deck in the darkness was in chaos.
