It is also impossible for Xavier to bring him here for auction for no reason.In addition, Ian can now almost confirm that Xavier was the one who sneaked into the hotel room and killed Ned that day.

He and Westminster Aire, the suspect in the original police Ned case, are in the same fashion industry.Xavier has even cross-dressed as a female model to participate in women's clothing shows many times, so it is not surprising that he knows Westminster Aire.Ned's murder had been premeditated, Xavier might find an opportunity to take the hairpin from her room after getting acquainted with Westminster Aire, get her hair, and imitate an exclusive Collectible bag.Then Xavier dyed his hair the same color as Westminster Aire, put on a woman's skirt, coiled up his hair, put on Westminster's hairpin, and walked into the hotel room.After he killed Ned, he deliberately left Westminster's hair at the scene to mislead the police and the Bureau of Investigation.

This is one of the reasons why Xavier has kept himself from boarding the Aurora to continue investigating Fitz Gubler.

But he managed to pass everything on to Westminster Ayre, why did he kill Sherman and expose himself in front of him?

The only thing Ian could think of at this time was that Xavier was going to kill him, so he hinted so clearly to himself that he was the one who killed Ned!

At this time, the bidding on the scene had reached the point where it was in vain, and there were one after another on the stage who raised their hands.

Xavier, who was wearing a mask, took two steps back and leaned leisurely against the glass box.

He seemed to say something, and all the guests suddenly rushed to get up and rushed to the door, like a group of crazy sardines.

Only Xavier watched all this indifferently.

Ian stood up, leaned against the glass surface, and watched the group of distinguished guests tearing, trampling, and beating each other with wide eyes.Someone had fallen, and others just stepped on his body and kept banging on the door.

They tried to get out, but the door was locked.

They yelled and yelled, completely stripped of their most elegant posture in the usual days, and the idea of ​​survival made them desperately fight for the chance to leave.

What the hell is going on?

Until some of them fell down one after another, Ian faintly understood.

He raised his head and looked at the vent above his head.If someone puts poison in the ventilation opening in advance, it will spread to all corners of this space along with the air!

Ian beat the glass box hard, it was Xavier who locked them here!Xavier is going to kill everyone!

"Xavier! What are you doing! What are you doing! Xavier, give me an explanation!"

And Xavier, who was leaning against the glass box, sat down slowly, his hands hanging powerlessly by his side.

Only then did Ian realize that Xavier himself had never thought of leaving alive.He wants to die with this group of "VIPs"!

Ian knelt and sat down with Xavier, patting the glass unwillingly, "Xavier——Xavier!"

In front of the door of the meeting place, the fallen VIPs were piled up into a mountain, and there were still people who kept stepping on other people's bodies and got up, pushing the door.

Everything is so hopeless.

Like a scene from hell.

Xavier, who fell by the glass box, turned around with his last strength and looked at Ian.

He pursed his lips, full of sarcasm.

They are stupid, right?

Even if he couldn't hear what he said, Ian could still tell what he was saying from his mouth movements.

"Let me out, Xavier." Ian's palm rested on the glass box.

Yes, they are stupid.

Even at this moment, Ian still has no sympathy for them.But no matter what they did, how they used their power to inflate their desires, they couldn't die here, and they couldn't die in Xavier's hands.

Xavier looked into Ian's eyes and said calmly: I can't let you out, the safest place is inside.

Ian pressed his forehead hard, and punched the glass hard.

Xavier raised his hand, pressed it against the glass and said: Sorry, Ian.

Ian wanted to grab him, wanted to pull him, but Xavier just looked at him, looking into Ian's eyes with a lustless and indifferent gaze.

It seems that Ian's eyes are the last paradise, the place he most wants to go.

"Xavier... Xavier?"

Xavier's eyes had lost focus when the last breath left him.

The place that was once used to show the power of gold has completely calmed down.

Ian's fingers trembled inexplicably.He took half a step back and sat down holding his head.

As long as he opened his eyes, no matter what angle he saw, it was Xavier's eyes.

At this time, the elevator leading to the banquet venue finally resumed operation with difficulty.Haili rushed to the outside of the venue with the security guards.

The security guards were about to open the gate, but Hailey stopped them.

"If you want to die now, just leave the door open. But I don't intend to die with you."

A group of people stopped immediately.

"But... what should we do now?"

Everyone looked at Hailey.And Hailey didn't have the slightest expression on his face.

"The glass box inside can be lifted up and down, right?"

"Yes, sir. Below the venue, there is another room. After the glass box descends into this room, the vacancy on the ceiling will automatically close."

"Go to the room below the venue." Haili turned around abruptly.

"But what about the guests in the venue? It's impossible for them to leave the room below!" one of the security guards asked anxiously.

Haili twitched the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Leave? I'm curious which one of them is breathing."

The faces of all the security personnel changed.

"Sir...you mean..."

Haili didn't answer them, and walked on coldly.

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, and all followed Haley, leaving only one person to call Gubler.

"Mr. Gubler, we followed Agent Russell to the entrance of the venue, but he thought it would be dangerous to open the door, and he deduced that..."

"Infer what?"

"It is inferred... that everyone who entered the venue died..."

"I'll be there right away!"

"Should we open the door?"

"Of course I have to open it...no...or don't open it..."

"Yes, sir."

At this time, Haili had already rushed to the room directly below the venue and pressed the lift button.

There was only a humming sound overhead, and a long part of the ceiling slowly fell.

It was a huge glass box, and Ian was sitting beside the glass box with a dazed expression.

Haley kept looking up, waiting for the glass box to land firmly on the ground.He pressed the switch on the box, and one side of the glass box opened. Hailey couldn't wait to step forward and hugged Ian.

"Ian! How are you? Look at me! Talk!"

Haili's hands covered Ian's face, the strength and temperature at that moment made Ian suddenly come back to his senses.

He punched Haley in the face with his fist.

Hailey didn't dodge, but Ian's fist stopped in mid-air, and he hugged Haili tightly instead.

"You bastard... if it wasn't for you..."

If Hailey goes too far, Ian can't be subdued by Xavier!Xavier's plan cannot succeed!

Haili's eyebrows trembled, and he hugged Ian even tighter, as if trying to crush his bones.

A few minutes later, Shia pushed Fitz Gubler into this room.

"What happened? Agent Russell, why didn't you let the security personnel open the door of the venue? If you just wanted to save Ian Connor, you've achieved your goal now!"

Hailey sneered, "I've hinted at your answer many times, Fitz Gubler. Haven't your IQ increased a bit after you've lived for so many years?"

Gubler couldn't care less about this, he waved away Xia who was trying to help him, shook the wheelchair vigorously, came in front of them, grabbed Ian's shoulder, "Tell me! What happened in the venue! "

But Ian suddenly twisted Gubler's arm behind him, and he let out a muffled groan, too painful to cry out.

"Mr. Gubler!"

Security personnel rushed up.But Ian didn't expect that Ian got up directly, raised his legs, and pressed directly on the back of Gubler's neck, forcing him to bend down and stick his face on his legs uncomfortable.

"Whoever comes again, I'll just break Fitz Gubler's neck."

The security guard was about to put the gun down, but no one saw how Haili did it. The security guard who tried to put the gun down was not only knocked out of the gun, but also hit on the wrist. He clasped his wrist and fell backwards, screaming in pain.

"Mr. Gubler didn't tell you that Mr. Connor and I are agents from the Bureau of Investigation? You actually drew guns on the investigators who investigated the case?"

Haili turned his face sideways, with a bloodthirsty sharpness in his eyes.

There was an unusual smell in the air, and the brain seemed to be frozen and unable to think.

"Go away." Haili raised his eyebrows.

At that moment, like a knife cutting through the heart, all the security personnel backed away like marionettes.

And Ian lowered his head, looking at Gubler's back indifferently, "What did you do to Xavier? What did those so-called distinguished guests do to him?"

Gubler was so oppressed that he couldn't speak normally.

And the strength exerted on him increased, and his spine could hardly bear it.

"...I didn't do anything to him...instead...we gave him fame..."

"Fame and fortune?" Ian sneered, "Are you sure what he wants is fame and fortune? Are you sure that you didn't treat him as an object or food, take two bites when you are interested, and enjoy yourself when you mess him up?" Was it generous to say 'we gave you everything you wanted'?"

"The matter of Xavier has always been handled by Sherman..."

"And what about Ned? Xavier was bullied by Ned, didn't he? What other damn MP? You don't treat him as a human being at all! Fitz Gubler, everything is your own Eat the fruit!"

"……What do you mean?"

Terrified beyond the pain, Gubler struggled vigorously.He was eager to know the answer, what happened in the venue!

"All those who participated in the so-called 'feast' died."

Ian squeezed the words through his teeth.

And Fitz Gubler was completely dumbfounded.

"What did you say... all dead? This is impossible? This is absolutely impossible!"

"Because the vent was poisoned, the poison quickly spread throughout the entire space." Haili said indifferently, "Since Xavier restarted the 'Feast' in your name, you should have thought that he would use this method to fight with your sanctimonious people." All his companions perish together."

"Do you know who they are! Together, they can almost shake half of the United States! How dare Xavier kill them!"

Gubler's expression became crazy, and the blood in his eyes seemed to burst.

"So? How do you want to get revenge on Xavier? He is dead. If you want to do something to him, why not go to that world to find him?"

Ian's legs pressed down hard again, and some kind of impulse surged in his heart, wanting to dismantle all the bones of Fitz Gubler one by one.

"Agent Connor! Please calm down! No matter what Mr. Gubler did to Xavier, you are not in the position to make a judgment!" Shea stepped forward quickly, knelt down beside Gubler, raised her Stuck on Ian's leg, "Agent Connor, do you want to kill Mr. Gubler?"

"Of course I want to kill him, but he will soon be killed by the public opinion of the entire United States, and I don't need to take action." Ian retracted his legs and looked at Xi Ya, "Is there a gas mask on this cruise ship? "

"Although there were no gas masks, there was a whole fire brigade, and they were all equipped with oxygen tanks."

Gubler raised his face and stared at Ian with wide eyes, "You have to let the firefighters enter that place! Not everyone can enter there!"

"There can no longer be a secret there. They are all dead, their families, and the forces behind them will definitely pursue the reason for this. Fitz Gubler, what do you think you can hide?" Ian used Said in a mocking tone.

Gu Bole lowered his head in a daze, raised his hands to hug his head, and kept repeating: "I'm finished...I'm finished...I'm completely finished..."

"How long will it take for this ship to dock? It is impossible to continue the journey of the Aurora."

"If you want to dock, you can dock at a small port in four hours." Shia helped Gubole up.

Ian looked at Gubler, who remained motionless.

Hailey put his gun directly against Gubler's head and pulled the safety catch off.Gubler had to dial the phone with trembling fingers, informing the captain that he was going to dock.

The fire brigade was dispatched urgently and entered the "feast" scene.

When they pushed open the door with all their might, they found that there was a mountain of dead bodies waiting at the door. Everything was beyond their imagination.

A separate room is used on the cruise ship to store the bodies of these people.

Haley and Ian were on hand to oversee their operations.

"No matter how glorious these guys were in life, they will be nothing more than that after death." Haili said lazily with his pockets in his pocket.

"They enjoy everything in this world, so they want to play the role of God and control the fate of other people, which is really ridiculous."

"Now they are displayed like commodities."

Haili indifferently watched these powerful figures being placed side by side on the ground, their faces still had distorted expressions of pain.Some opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths wide, some kept their hands outstretched, and some clasped their necks in a final struggle.

When the firefighters lifted Xavier's body out and put it on the ground, Ian suddenly said, "Don't put him with those guys. He and them were never in the same world."

The firefighter paused, and placed Xavier in the room by the window.

Xavier's posture was very natural, as if he had completely accepted the reality of death without any struggle.

Ian took a breath and looked down at him, "It's my fault. I should have found out earlier. He's always been so close to me."

"Find what?" Haley asked.

"He should be the murderer who killed Smith and Ned. He often wears his hair up, and I have also seen photos of his catwalk as a female model...He also repeatedly warned me not to get close to Fitz Gubler and Sherman, I didn't get the meaning of what he said...I should have stopped him."

"It's not your fault, Ian. Even if you try your best to stop him, he will still finish what he decides must be done. If it is not on this yacht, it may be somewhere else, he will Kill them all one by one."

Hailey took out the gloves borrowed from the doctor on the cruise ship and handed them to Ian.

Ian put on his gloves and said thank you.

He knelt down on one knee beside Xavier and helped Xavier close his eyes.

"I always thought that I had an extraordinary premonition of danger. But during the days when I was with him behind the wall, I didn't feel it at all."

"Because he never intended to hurt you. If it weren't for all the 'meals' that had to be kept in that airtight glass box, Xavier wouldn't have taken this approach."

Ian chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"You know what? I thought he came to me wearing a hair pin, implying that he was the murderer because he didn't intend to keep me alive. But I was completely wrong, he didn't want to live. All the people here , I have no sympathy. Because their current ending is entirely their own fault."

"You take Xavier very seriously." Haley knelt down beside Ian, fingers brushing his forehead, "It makes me jealous. No matter what these people did, they were victims. To get you to say, Ian, that the victim deserves it, that Xavier has affected your emotions is something that even I can't do."

The phone in Haili's pocket rang. He took it out and saw that someone had sent a video link.

"What's wrong?" Ian asked.

"Someone recorded the scene of your 'feast' at the auction and posted it online. It's a buzz now. Judging from the shooting point of view, Xavier should have filmed it with a miniature camera. He even recorded these people bidding Whether it is true or false, the relevant departments must investigate this. And Gubler is also involved. Whether it is the police, the Bureau of Investigation or even reporters from various news media, there is These clues drawn by Xavier will eventually dig out all the secrets of these people and make them public."

"And Gubler... is completely finished. It sounds like Xavier has become a hero." Ian shook his head, "If he has enough trust in me, he can tell me all this. I will spare no effort Going to investigate will make these beasts in human skin pay the price."

"Ian, if I were Xavier, maybe I would make the same choice as him. Because I want to protect you, I want you to stay away from all dangers, and I want you to set boundaries with this dirty world."

"No, you won't." Ian pulled a white tablecloth to cover Xavier's face.

"Why wouldn't I?" Hailey tilted his face funny, as if to say, "Don't you believe that I will really do my best to protect you?"

"Because you're dead and I'm still alive, it means you've given up on me. You won't give up on me willingly."

Haley paused, and took Ian's hand firmly.

When all the bodies were placed properly, Haley received a call that several federal agents had taken a helicopter and were preparing to come to the nearest port to board the cruise ship to assist Ian and Haley.

"Hey, I'm going to see Fitz Gubler. Every time I see his ashen expression, I feel very happy."

Haley blinked.

"And your friend Shia Pace. He has a very close relationship with Fitz Gubler, and this time Fitz Gubler is completely screwed. He always wanted to hang out in that circle, and now It seems that I'm afraid it's not so easy to mess with."

"Shia has always been a smart person, you don't need to worry about him."

"I want to see the body of Joseph Sherman."

"What? That guy has bad intentions for you, but you still miss him?" Haili showed an extremely unhappy expression.

Ian pinched Haili's cheek with his fingers, and snorted lightly: "Come on, he's dead, and your heart is truly happy."

After speaking, Ian walked out of the room.

Haili put his palms on his face, looked at Ian's back foolishly for a long time, then lowered his head and laughed.

At this time, Gubole was pushed back into the room by Shia.

Shea bought a glass of whiskey for him and delivered it to him, "Mr. Gubler, you need to calm down."

Gubler took the wine glass, his fingers trembling so much that he barely held it.The moment the cup fell, Shia held it up.

"Have you seen the video posted on the Internet?" Gubler grabbed Shia's wrist.

Obviously at this time, Gubler is like a broken sail in the ocean, but when holding Xi Ya, he is extremely hard.

Shia nodded.

"I'm doomed... If only these business tycoons were poisoned to death... I can still push everything to Xavier! But he actually recorded the whole process... What should I do? Shea! I what to do?"

"Don't worry, you didn't appear in the video. This matter can still be cleared up." Xi Ya comforted.

"I only have you, Shia... only you... Ned and Sherman are dead..." Gubler hugged Shia tightly.

"Go to sleep, sir. You need to rest. After this cruise ship docks, you still need to deal with various investigations."

Gubler tilted his head back and closed his eyes forcefully.

"Yes, I'm not completely finished yet. I still have a chance. Rest me, Shia."

Xia helped Gubole lie down on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and turned off the light.

"Good night, sir."

Shia left the room and walked out.

With two hours to go, the cruise ship was about to reach a makeshift port where investigators were waiting to board.

Xia came to the side of the boat, looked down at the undulating sea in a daze.There was nothing around him, no one else but himself.

Seabirds occasionally chirped and passed overhead, intertwined with the sound of rising and falling sea water, and the sky was high and the earth was far away.

Someone came behind him, casting a long and slender shadow on the ground.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with the current ending?"

"It's you, Haili." Shia responded to him lightly, "I finally rescued your Ian, shouldn't you follow him every step of the way?"

"Don't underestimate Ian. Even I can't hurt him. It's just Shia, you haven't answered my question yet. Are you satisfied with the ending?" Haili propped his chin up, leaning his arms on the side of the boat, and said leisurely.

"Of course I'm not satisfied. Isn't Gubler still alive?" Xia sneered.

"Of course he has to live. If he dies, it's a relief. You have to watch him fall from a height, watch him struggle with fame and fortune, and watch him be trampled even more than the models he once controlled .”

"Yeah." Shia smiled, blinking her eyes deliberately imitating Haili's expression, "You really know me."

"Actually, I don't know if the story I'm thinking of is complete. Maybe you have another version?"

The sea breeze stirred Haili's hair, like an endless cycle.

"Oh? You still have a story? What kind of story?" Shea changed her posture and asked with interest.

"Then let's start with the murder case of Smith and Ned. Smith's room is code-controlled. If the murderer wants to kill him, either Smith invited the murderer to enter, or the murderer was waiting for him in the room early. Was it Xavier Quentin who killed Smith, but one thing is that you told him the password to Smith's room, you also sent the chocolates that Smith liked, and you also replaced the roses, dinner plates and red wine on site. Arranged by Xavier."

Shia pressed her forehead and laughed, "Haley, your brain is not broken, is it? First of all, I don't know the password to Smith's room, and I don't know what kind of chocolate Smith likes. And why should I send chocolates and flowers to Smith? ?”

"This is the way you play on Smith. Smith's assistant, Emma, ​​mentioned that it's not the first time Smith has received chocolates, or the first time roses have appeared in his apartment. You make Smith feel that someone is fawning on him." Pleasuring him, keeping him guessing who this mysterious man is on the one hand. You seem to satisfy his masculine pride and pride, but it's all your trap. Flowers and chocolates? Smith doesn't realize that these are all pleasing Things for women. When you give him things women like, you are actually mocking him, belittling him, and trampling on his self-esteem. But Smith fell into your trap unconsciously."

Shia shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Is this one of your cases in the investigation bureau? It doesn't apply to me. Take a step back, even if I send the flowers and chocolates, it's at most It's just a trick, what kind of trap?"

"Because you prepared the ground for Xavier to approach Smith. Just imagine, on the day of the crime, Smith returned to his apartment and saw those rose petal scented candles. His first reaction may not be surprise, said Maybe it will be a little creepy. But when Xavier hiding in the cloakroom appears? Smith is already interested in Xavier. At this time, as long as Xavier asks 'do you like what I gave you', I bet Smith was absolutely ecstatic at the time. Once Smith was off guard, it would have been a lot easier for Xavier to kill him."

"Oh—that means I've become Xavier's accomplice? Haley, you should see a doctor."

"It was you who told Xavier what the password was for Smith's apartment."

"I don't know Smith as well as you think. How could Smith tell me the password to his apartment?"

"It's not what Smith told you, but you got it from his assistant Emma. You've been having a secret relationship with Emma, ​​haven't you?" Haley asked with a smile, "Emma is not your type Yes. Reluctantly being with her has taken a lot of your patience, right?"

"You know Emma is not my cup of tea, what makes you connect me with Emma?"
