Lu An quickly returned to Lonemoon Island and found Xu Yunyan again.
After he told Xu Yunyan about the ice coffin and the words inside, Xu Yunyan also fell into deep thought. There was no other way. If they only told her that there were three men and three women, they would not be able to confirm anything. Any alliance could send three men and three women, and if they moved randomly, there would be no way to investigate.
The only useful piece of information was the shark tattoo. However, they could not possibly go and take off each other's clothes one by one, right?
The two of them sat in the office, deep in thought. After a while, Lu An looked up and said, "At least now we can confirm that these six people are not Bian Qingliu's acquaintances. We can basically rule out the Eight Major Alliances. Moreover, this treasure appeared very suddenly. If six people could immediately gather to fight for it, it means that it was at least a team. In other words, teams with less than six people can be ruled out. "
"That's right." Xu Yunyan nodded and said, "Even so, there is still too little evidence."
"Personally, I don't think this is a very big alliance." Lu An continued, "The appearance of a treasure is also very important in the deep sea. However, the other party was able to give Bian Qingliu a chance to leave evidence. This means that the six people should be level-six Celestial Masters."
"And the tattoo." Lu An paused and said, "There are two possibilities. One is that the woman's back was originally naked. The other is that Bian Qingliu tore off her clothes when she resisted. However, no matter what, it means that they know Bian Qingliu. Otherwise, they could have just killed him or taken the treasure. There was no need to kidnap the two of them. Bian Qingliu is not a person who likes to wander around and talk to people. I'm afraid that not many people know him. I hope that Supervisor Xu can also check in this area. "
Xu Yunyan listened to Lu An's analysis and could not help but be startled. Lu An was right. However, she did not expect Lu An to know so much at such a young age. He did not seem to match his age at all.
At this moment, Lu An stood up and said to Xu Yunyan, "I'll have to trouble you with the investigation, Supervisor Xu. I still want to go out and see if there are any other clues."
"Okay," Xu Yunyan said.

In a dark and huge enclosed space, Bian Qingliu and Chu Yue sat inside.
There were candles all around the walls, illuminating the space. This was a space filled with metal in all directions. Bian Qingliu and Chuyue had been trapped here for a full seven days. Although they wanted to escape, they couldn't break through the metal.
This metal was made from the Heaven technique of a Level Seven Heavenly Master. Both of them were Level Six Heavenly Masters, so it was impossible for them to break it.
Chu Yue sat in a corner. Not far from her, Bian Qingliu sat in a chair with a long metal scroll in front of him.
This scroll was more than three meters long and exuded a mysterious aura. It was the treasure that had appeared in the ocean. However, although this item was in Bian Qingliu's hands, it did not belong to him. The enemy had forced him to analyze the information in this scroll. If he could not analyze it, both of them would die.
If it was just Bian Qingliu, it would be fine. However, this concerned Chu Yue's safety. He could not be careless.
The reason why the other party had placed the metal scroll with him was because they didn't believe that he could escape from here and destroy the scroll. This scroll was extremely hard. Even a Level Seven Heavenly Master would not be able to break it, let alone him. This was why the enemy had placed so much importance on it.
Bian Qingliu kept looking at it, occasionally turning back to look at Chu Yue. Chu Yue had been scared out of her wits these past few days. Chu Yue was naturally cute and beautiful. It was not as if these people had not harbored evil intentions towards her. If he had not forced her to analyze the scroll, Chu Yue would have been defiled.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and three people walked in, striding towards the two of them. Chu Yue jumped in fright and hurriedly shrank back. Bian Qingliu frowned and stood up to greet the three people.
Bian Qingliu stood in front of the three people and looked at them seriously. He asked coldly, "What are you three doing here?"
Hearing Bian Qingliu's tone, the three people frowned. However, this kid was indeed very strong. They had almost failed to capture him. If they had not outnumbered him, he would have escaped.
"Boss, let me ask you, when will you finish the appraisal?" one of them shouted.
"It's still early!" Bian Qingliu said in a low voice. "Do you think the appraisal is easy? I have to analyze the possibilities word by word. If I gave you a random result, would you agree? "
Hearing Bian Qingliu's words, the three people looked at each other. Then, one of them said to Bian Qingliu, "I advise you not to play any tricks. You can't escape here, and don't even think about asking others to save you! We're not in the distant sea now. All your connections are useless! "
"That's right." The third person said sternly, "I advise you to quickly appraise the scroll, and we'll let you go immediately. Otherwise, both of you can forget about leaving this place alive! "
With that, the three people glared at Bian Qingliu and left. With a bang, the door was closed. Once again, only Bian Qingliu and Chu Yue were left in the large space.
Once again, silence reigned. Bian Qingliu took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Chu Yue, who was hiding in the corner.
Bian Qingliu thought for a moment, then walked over to Chu Yue. She bent down and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Chu Yue's face was very pale. She looked at Bian Qingliu and could only nod gently.
"…" Bian Qingliu's heart ached. She said, "I'm sorry. If I hadn't cared so much about the treasure, this wouldn't have happened, and you wouldn't have been implicated."
"No, I insisted on going with you," Chu Yue said hurriedly. "It's not your fault …"
Looking at Chu Yue's appearance, Bian Qingliu felt even worse.
"Can we … still get out?" Chu Yue's voice was choked with sobs. She lowered her head and said, "Can you appraise the scroll?"
"I don't know. This scroll is very difficult." Bian Qingliu took a deep breath and said bitterly, "But it's not like there's no hope. I've been trying non-stop, and I've started to make some progress. Don't worry, I'll definitely take you out. "
With that, Bian Qingliu got up and returned to the chair. Then, she looked at the scroll on the table.
As she looked at the familiar words on it and experienced the intent conveyed by the strokes of the words, Bian Qingliu's expression turned solemn. Then, she kept simulating cultivation in her Spiritual Sea.
That's right. He had already deciphered a portion of the scroll's secrets.
Although he had never seen these words before, they were very similar to some of the words he had appraised. It was not difficult to come to a conclusion after deducing them. Furthermore, this scroll was indeed very precious. Some kind of powerful ability was written inside. Not only was he analyzing it, but he was also cultivating.
The reason he had told Chu Yue that he was still analyzing it was not because he wanted to hide it from her. He had told her that the people outside had stopped it.
He and Chu Yue were in this metal space. As long as a level-seven Heavenly Master wanted to, they could monitor their conversation at any time without them noticing. Therefore, he was very careful with every word he said to Chu Yue. He looked very bitter, but it was all an act.
Having been in the deep sea for so long, he knew a lot of things. There had never been anyone who would release someone after kidnapping them.
He could only delay until someone came to save them or until he was strong enough to rush out of here. However, the latter was basically impossible. If he could not decipher it for too long, the other party would not continue to keep him.
Outside the metal space, after the three of them walked out, they walked to a person sitting on a chair and said respectfully, "Boss."
"Mm." The person nodded slightly and did not speak.
The three of them looked at each other and said, "Boss, do you think he's deliberately stalling for time?"
"It doesn't seem like it." After thinking for three breaths, the person shook his head and said, "However, it doesn't matter whether he's stalling for time or not. The people who have just been captured will not be very obedient. After a while, they will feel that there is no hope of being rescued. Then, they will listen to us obediently. They can't run away here. We are not the ones who are anxious. "
Hearing their boss's words, the three of them nodded. At this moment, one of them realized something and asked curiously, "Boss, where are the three of them?"
"The three of them? I told them to go to Lone Moon Island, "the boss said.
"Ah??" The three of them were stunned and quickly asked, "Why?"
"Idiot, the Bian Qingliu has a lot of connections. If they find out which team has not been to Lone Moon Island recently, won't we be the most suspicious?" The boss said resentfully, "Don't worry. As long as we do as usual, they won't find out about us. It was not easy for us to take root in the Lone Moon Alliance. There is no need to leave because of these two people. "
"On the contrary," the boss smiled and said, "these two people can be used well!"
