[Mummy] Yellow sand fills the sky

Poirot murmured, "Jacqueline Belfort." His eyes turned to the letter "J" on the wall.At this time, the door was pushed open, "Mr. Poirot, what are you doing here with Colonel Race and Dr. Bessler?"

Then, she saw Mrs. Doyle lying on the bed, who was obviously dead. She looked at Poirot very calmly and asked, "Does this news need to be blocked? No, I don't think so. The whole night, the ship is full of people. Parked in the middle of the water, and it is not an easy thing to get out of here without being noticed by anyone, so the murderer is still on this boat."

Poirot nodded. "Unfortunately, what none of us wanted happened happened. If... Maybe I could have stopped her, I should have stopped her long ago."

"Are you talking about Miss Jacqueline Belfort? She couldn't have done this. In other words, she was the only person on this ship who couldn't have done it. Even I'm more suspicious than her." It’s big.” Kaya said quickly, seeing the doubts on their faces, she explained: “Miss Belfort received too much shock last night, so Miss Bowles gave her a sedative injection. With that dose, I can assure you that she didn't have the strength to get out of bed at all throughout the night. And all that time, at least one person was with her."

"Thank you, thank you, Madame Montsolefort. Your words really helped me a lot, very much." Poirot said sincerely.

"No, Mr. Poirot, we are friends after all, aren't we? I don't think I need these words to strengthen the connection between us." Kaia walked to the door of the room, she stopped and turned back: "By the way, Poirot One more thing to tell you sir, my husband didn't sleep very well the other night so I put a little something in his glass last night so I thought you could save someone asking It's time for an inquiry. I'm sure he must have heard nothing."

Reis suddenly said: "If there is nothing else to do here, let's go down first. The management department on the ship has tidied up the smoking room. We must find out what happened last night." The three walked out of the room .Reese locked the door and took the key away.

"We'll come back later," he said, "to clear things up first."

They go on deck. The manager of the "Carnac" waited anxiously on the passage outside the smoking room, looking extremely flustered and worried, and of course he hoped that everything would be handed over to Colonel Race as soon as possible. "I think I must leave everything to you, Colonel. You are in the most appropriate position. I am under orders from your lordship. Go ahead and do as you please, and everything will be done as you please."

"Okay! First of all, Mr. Poirot and I will occupy this room for cross-examination."

"of course can."

"That's it for now. Go do your own thing, I know how to find you." The ship manager left the room with a sigh of relief.

Poirot said at this moment, "Dr. Bessler, please briefly talk about what happened last night. Don't let go of any details, no matter how small. You must also mention anything that seems strange to you."

Dr. Besler quickly summed up what happened last night in his own way, and then said with emotion: "Mrs. He is calm and has no fear of blood. Although I haven't had much contact with Mr. Montsolefort, I still firmly believe that he is a noble gentleman. Who can see that he is a... All in all, he's a nice guy."

Poirot simply said: "Yes, he is a gentleman, and he is extremely principled. This is a very valuable quality, and you will never ignore it from the moment you see him."

Colonel Lace frowned, "Poirot, I think I agree with you. But, if he is a person who is proficient in hiding himself, we, we cannot rule them out of suspicion."

Poirot and Dr. Bessler all turned their heads to look at him, and he coughed a few times in embarrassment, "The timing of their boarding was too coincidental, except for me, only their boarding was unpredictable. . I just don’t want to pass any possibility.”

Poirot just led him a little way out into the sun, and explained: "They don't need to do this at all. Before that, they didn't know Mrs. Doyle at all. As for money, what they have is completely No less than Mrs. Doyle's, and even far more than her. It's just that they don't want to expose their property to the public eye."

Poirot took out a crystal-clear object about the size of a pinky fingernail, which shone brightly in the sun. Colonel Lacey's eyes widened: "This, this is... this is worth at least [-] to [-]." Pounds."

Poirot smiled, "This is the reward they gave me after I solved a trivial problem for them last time. Although I insisted not to take it, it still appeared in my luggage. So, Reis, believe me, Don't put too much of your energy on them."

When Poirot and Colonel Lace returned to the room as if nothing had happened, Poirot smiled, "Who found the body?"

"Mrs. Doyle's maid, Louise Pulger. She went to wake her master as usual, found her dead, and ran out of the room, fainting in the arms of the valet. The valet found her. Manager, manager come to me again. I'll send someone to Dr. Bessler and then to you."

"Doctor Bessler, is Mr. Doyle awake? I think I want to talk to him very urgently." Poirot's wise little eyes kept staring at the doctor.

Race said, "Mr. Dole should be informed. You say he hasn't woken up yet?"

Dr. Bessler nodded. "Yes, he's still sleeping in my room. I gave him a heavy dose of tranquilizers last night. Lace turned to Poirot.

"Well," he said, "I suppose we don't want to keep the doctor too long? Thank you, doctor."

Dr. Bassler stood up. "I'll have some breakfast first, and then I'll go back to my room to see if Mr. Doyle is awake." Dr. Bessler went out, leaving only the two of them staring at each other.

"Ah," said he, "we have to question. First, we must question Finthorpe and Miss Robertson, who were the real witnesses to the incident. The disappearance of the pistol is of great significance." Lace pressed the bell. , sent the waiter with a message.

Poirot shook his head with a sigh. "This is really bad," he murmured. "It's really bad! I seem to have caught a little bit of everything, but when I think about it carefully, I don't understand anything."

Cornia's words were confusing at first, but thanks to Poirot's guidance, the facts of what happened last night gradually became clearer.

But there is still a doubt, that question is as clear as the reflection in the water but it is still puzzling.After Miss Bowles went out, they were all thinking that Jacqueline Belfort had determined that she had nothing to do with the murder.So, who is the murderer who killed Lena Doyle?

Reiss said: "Somebody stole the gun. It wasn't Jacqueline Belfort, but he knew he could put the blame on her, but he didn't know that she was going to get the morphine shot, and that Powers Madam stayed by her side all night. There is another incident. Earlier, someone had pushed down a boulder on the cliff in an attempt to crush Linna Doyle to death. This incident also confirmed that it was not Jacqueline Belfort. Who is it?"

Polo said: "It would be a little easier to say who would not be this person. Mr. Doyle, Mrs. Elleton, Mr. Tim Allerton, Miss Van Schule and Miss Powers are not included, because They were all within sight of me at the time."

"Well," Lace said, "there are quite a few suspicious characters left. As for the motive for the murder?"

"I think I need a little help. Maybe Madam de Montsolefort is a good choice. Maybe her narrative can bring us some new ideas." Poirot thought about it and was about to get up when the door opened , Kaiya walked in, she smiled brightly: "Mr. Poirot, I saw you called Miss Cornia and that lawyer came in, so, I think it's time for me to appear."

Poirot stood up, "Mrs. Montsolefort, thank you very much. I think you may have noticed some unusual things on this, and give us a little inspiration."

"First of all, there is one thing that I am very concerned about. I have to mention it. You know, Mr. Poirot. My husband and I have both experienced wars. I can say that I am quite familiar with the taste of blood. It's like your body has memorized the smell and doesn't even need to use your nose. However, when I walked in, I suddenly felt that the smell was a bit strange, not like my usual feeling, but maybe It's my feelings." Kaia quickly skipped the question.

She continued: "There is another point, I am very surprised that Miss Belfort calmed down a little bit, but when I suggested that Miss Conia go to the doctor quickly, she suddenly broke away from our control of her , ran outside, and because of that, we were delayed at least 15 minutes before the doctor went to see Mr Doyle."

"One last thing, I know you guys are wondering why I'm outside, as if I've been waiting there. Because, I always thought something was going to happen, so I turned back, but I hardly heard anything outside. Gunshots, I went in only after hearing Miss Cornia's noise. Therefore, I can't give you any clues about the missing pistol."
