It's human nature to lie.When Chen She read Agatha's novels, her deepest feeling was that both innocent and guilty people would lie.Some of them might not even know they were lying.Some people lie unconsciously, some people lie consciously, and the detective is to identify who is lying.

In the lounge, Edward and Chen She integrated and summarized all the current information, and speculated on the possibility of Jon being the murderer.

Chen She: "I think Jon has motives, but... even if he wants to do it, he won't do it himself, shouldn't a person with status and status like this should leave things to his subordinates?" Same as Ariana.

Edward nodded: "I also think the possibility of him doing it himself is very small, but the person who has the closest contact with him recently is George. According to my observation, he has no intersection with other people on the ship."

"Don't you think it's strange?" Chen She said suddenly.

Edward: "What?"

"During the whole process, George seemed to be the person with the least motivation, but it happened that he connected us one by one." Chen She paused, "Ah——Actually, I don't know how to say it, I just think Weird."

After hearing what Chen She said, Edward fell into deep thought.

Edward and Chen She discussed in the lounge all night until Chen She had to be on duty at four o'clock before leaving.And Chen She patted her cheek, and forced herself to continue working.At this time, he envied Edward's identity. After assigning the work to his subordinates, Edward was left alone. It was great that he could go back to the captain's cabin to sleep.

But the idler in his eyes did not return to the captain's cabin at this time, but went to the guest room area.

"Dong dong dong..."

George was in a deep sleep, but was awakened by continuous knocking on the door.He opened his eyes and glanced at his phone, four in the morning?

The knock on the door didn't stop, he got up and opened the door helplessly, and Edward was standing outside the room.

"Captain Edward?" George looked at the person coming, very puzzled, "It's... four o'clock in the morning? Why are you here now? Has something happened again?"

Edward smiled and nodded: "Something went wrong, but this time it was you."

George frowned: "What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about." Edward's black eyes shone strangely under the light.

George passed Edward to look at the corridor, and after seeing that there was no one else behind him, he said to Edward, "Come in?"

After speaking, he walked straight back to the room, leaving the door wide open.

Edward lowered his head and bent the corners of his mouth, and followed him in.

The room was a standard single room, and the space was a bit cramped. George sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Edward.

"What do you want to say?" George asked.

Edward leaned against the wall, took off his reserved and gentle mask in front of outsiders, and stared at George: "Why did you kill Elliana?"

George's expression remained unchanged. He slightly raised his head and looked back at Edward: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

In the dark room, although George needed to look up at Edward because he was sitting, his momentum was not much weaker than Edward's.

"The captain needs to worry about himself right now. I heard from the police that the captain is now one of the suspects." George's tone was worried, but there was no expression on his face.

Edward narrowed his eyes: "At that time, you lured me to test Jon, and now Jon helped the police focus on me, but you yourself stayed out of it from beginning to end. Very smart."

George: "It's not that I'm smart, it's just that you are stupid. I guess, are you carrying something like a recording pen with you now, and you plan to get some evidence from me."

Hearing this, Edward froze for a moment.

"Don't waste your time, even if I say I did it, so what? Do you have evidence? Without evidence, even if I lightly admit that I killed someone, can the police convict me?" Seeing Edward's reaction , George knew that he had guessed right, and he looked at Edward with a trace of pity in his eyes. These poor people, what are they in their minds?

"So, it's the illegal drugs you put in Zarth's room." Edward said with certainty.

George sighed: "Captain, why do you still don't understand. Yes, it's all me. As soon as you open and close your mouth, it's definitely me. Is there any use for me to say anything else? But I still hope you can speak with evidence .”

After speaking, George stood up, opened the door, and said to Edward: "You disturbed my sleep, now, if you have nothing to do, you should leave first, I have to rest."

Edward smiled, straightened up and walked to the door.

"Guest, please rest well." Edward grabbed the door panel with one hand, leaned over and said to George, "Have a good dream."

With a "bang", the door slammed shut behind Edward.

System 003: "Is it really okay for you to come to him directly like this?"

Edward shrugged: "Don't you think he's been waiting for someone to find him?"

System 003: "Really?"

"Don't worry, you can leave this world soon," Edward said.

System 003: "..." It doesn't care about that right now.

"You obviously don't have recording equipment on you, why did you admit it just now?" 003 was puzzled.

Edward: "Tsk, this is a strategy. To be honest, I still got the inspiration from that little sailor." A random deception really defrauded the murderer, he was going to die of laughing, okay?

Of course, this method is only suitable for people like George.From the conversation just now, Edward has already seen the extreme conceit hidden under the humble mask of the other party. He is not afraid of his actions being discovered by others, or it can be said that he has been expecting someone to discover that he is the real murderer , and those who discover him will gain his approval to some extent.

Sure enough, as the criminal law teacher said, the most complicated thing is not the case, but human nature.

At this time, silly white sweet Chen She was still on duty conscientiously. He just stood in the corner and secretly took a nap, but was woken up by the system.

"Host, host, your mission has a rainbow light on!"

Chen She asked in a daze, "Rainbow lights? What do you mean? We're about to pass the level?"

System: "It's not about to pass the level. This is a reminder button. When the rainbow light is on, it means that another candidate in the same world is about to pass the level!"

Chen She: "..."

(⊙o⊙)

"You mean there is another candidate in this world besides me?" Chen She's sleepiness disappeared instantly.

System: "Yes, and the point is that the examinee is about to pass the test."

Chen She was anxious: "What should I do if he clears the level? Is his mission the same as mine?"

System: "Sometimes the tasks of two examinees in the same world are not necessarily the same, and there may not necessarily be intersections, but when the rainbow light is on, it not only means that someone has the same task as the host, but also means that the other party's progress is now faster than the host. It's much faster, and the level is about to be cleared. If the other party clears the level, the host will not get points in this world."

"..."

Chen She said that he didn't want to deal with the system at all and threw a hehe at the system.No matter how used to this system full of loopholes, Chen She couldn't help but want to swear at this moment.
