"So, I'm not mistaken, someone was overhearing our conversation that night at the Falls Hotel," she exclaimed.

"Ah," Polo nodded. "It's rare that you remember so well. Yes, it can't be a coincidence—Mrs. Doyle was killed as you say."

Jacqueline trembled. "Who was that man that night, one by one,"

Poirot was silent for a minute or two, and then said in a rather different tone, "Miss, you're sure it's a man,"

Jacqueline looked at him in surprise. "Of course. At least—"

"How about it, miss,"

She frowned, tried to recall the night with her eyes half closed, and then said slowly, "I thought it was a man..."

"But now you're not so sure?"

Jacqueline said slowly, "Yes, I'm not sure. I just thought he was a man—but it was just—a figure—a black shadow..."

She stopped and Poirot said nothing.So she added: "You think it's a woman? But you can be sure that no other woman on this boat would want to kill Lin Na?"

Polo just shook his head.At this time, Dr. Bassler came out and said, "Mr. Poirot, please come over here. Mr. Doyle has woken up. He has something to say to you."

Miss Belfort plunged herself into a strange mood of self-abandonment again. She took a few steps forward, but immediately backed away, saying repeatedly: "No, no, Simon won't want to see me, I... I Let's go back." She came back again and looked at them firmly: "Mr. Poirot, Dr. Bessler, please let me go in and take a look at him, even if it's just a look, as long as I know he's safe and sound." .”

Polo and the doctor stepped out of the deck and met Reis, so the three of them walked up to the upper deck and walked to the doctor's room.Kaiya has been standing beside Jacqueline, comforting her softly: "I believe that Mrs. Doyle was not killed by you. You are not that kind of woman, and you can't become a truly ruthless woman who can kill. The look in your eyes It's still clear, it's just that you chose the wrong path, that's all."

Jacqueline raised her head, then quickly lowered her head, she buried her face deeply in the shadow, "This is really a wrong decision, if I knew that things would turn out like this, maybe I would rather stay in the The original place, don’t come to Egypt. Then, none of this will happen.”

Kaia looked at her and suddenly sighed, "You won't. You will come here no matter what, this is you, Miss Belfort. I hope you can firmly believe that what you did is right until Finally, Miss Belfort, there is still time, there is still room for redemption, and you can let it end."

Imerton sat in the room, and his strength increased slightly, but it was not enough.When Kaiya came in, Imerton wanted to enter the state of meditation again. The power of the sun and the moon to increase you is limited, and you can only proceed step by step.There's no good going on in haste, you're fretting, Imerton. "

"Your vitality continues to flow away. The speed is still accelerating." Imerton grabbed her arm, with obvious eagerness in his tone, and Kaya withdrew his hand, "There is no need to be so anxious, the worst The result is only to degenerate into a dark creature forever. I will not be destroyed. Still, Emerton, you don't believe that your own strength can't completely protect me, besides, I can handle quite a lot of trouble myself."

His eyes dimmed a little, but he asked immediately: "I heard that there was a murder case, do you know, who is the murderer?"

"How could I know." Kaia turned her head, "There is no soul, no trace, it is really very clean, and it is a person who died for no reason. However, there is one thing that I am very surprised about, that Miss Belfort And Doyle and the others don't seem to live long."

Emerton looked at her nervously, "Didn't you see it for a while, it recovered, my restriction didn't expire, what went wrong?"

"No, you don't have to worry too much. I just had this thought in my mind suddenly, and then it has been haunting me and can't go away. I always feel that Miss Belfort and Mr. Doyle are not like them. There is no emotion in what I said, and I think maybe they are really in love." Kaiya played with the ring on her hand, her eyes were full of interest.

Imerton held his head helplessly, "Mr. Poirot will solve these things." After looking at each other for a few seconds, he gave up, "I will, and I will help them when the time is right."

Only then did Kaiya smile, "I'm really worried, Emerton, you have too much blood debt on your body, and it's the same on me. Saving people can calm your mind. Sometimes, make a little change in time. It's also very good."

Emerton held her hand silently, and Kaia said with a smile: "Maybe we have a way, it seems that the Nazis have found a little direction to find the Holy Grail recently. It can cure diseases, which means that it must have the power of healing. Maybe find it, my body will turn around, things are over here, let's go find the Holy Grail. I've got a little reverse."

At noon, Imerton and Kaya met the sullen Colonel Lace, who sat alone in the innermost part.Driven by his wife, Imerton sat next to him. He tried to maintain his normal state and asked, "Have you made any major progress in the inspection all day today?"

Colonel Race was even more frustrated. He sighed and said: "It seems that nothing has been gained. It seems that everyone on this ship has a motive to kill Mrs. Doyle. That fanatical communist - Fresen, He has spoken publicly on board several times that people like Mrs Doyle should be removed."

"And Louise, Mrs Doyle's maid said this: 'It has to do with the lady's old servant, the one I took over. There is a man, who is the engineer on this ship, who wants to marry her. Mary ──his wife’s previous servant──would like to marry him. But after Mrs. Doyle’s investigation, she found that this Hollywood already had a wife──a local. Although he has returned home, you know, he and her There is still a marriage contract. So Mrs. Doyle told Mary everything. Mary was very unhappy and didn't want to see Houliwood after that. Houliwood was very angry at the time. When he heard that Mrs. Doyle was the former Miss Linna Ridgeway, he Told me he wanted to kill her! He said the wife was nosy and ruined his life'”

Imerton said very understandingly: "Of course it is. When a person has money, he will always cause many troubles that you can't think of. At that time, the troubles and troubles will find you by themselves."

Colonel Lace took a big sip of wine, "Who says it's not, almost no one on this ship is not Mrs. Doyle's enemy, that is to say, they all have motives. Poirot absolutely believes in you, so I can give Tell me a little bit, you know, I am..."

Imerton immediately said: "A person who has served in the army for many years and is highly loyal to the country. Colonel Reis, I fully believe in your character. Correspondingly, you should also give us some trust."

He continued: "Later, we found out that the pearl necklace worth four or five thousand pounds that Mrs. Doyle put on the counter was missing. In this way, the case turned to another direction, that is, anyone may be killed because of money. The factor worked its way against Mrs. Doyle."

Hearing this, Kaiya had to interrupt her, "Colonel Lace, you haven't fully described the suspects about the many people on board."

Colonel Lace was very surprised, "Other things, we don't have any further measures for the time being. However, Poirot thought of a good way." His emotions immediately rose.

Kaya thought almost at once, "It's lunch time, and M. Poirot is in no rush and taking no action. He intends to announce after the meal—publicly declaring that the necklace is missing, asking everyone to remain in the dining room, So that you can search?" Colonel Lacey's shocked eyes told Kaya that she was really right.

Kaiya smiled slightly: "Colonel Lace, don't be so surprised, it's easy to understand. This is the best opportunity. Almost everyone gathered in the restaurant, and places with a lot of people are always more likely to leak some information .Look at their faces, you can get all the information you want if you just give them a chance."

Colonel Lace looked at her thoughtfully, and Kaya quickly asked the next question, "By the way, has Miss Belfort seen Mr. Doyle? I think it would be a..."

"Well, Mr. Doyle asked to see her. As for the question you asked about the suspect, I am not very clear. However, it seems that many people on board are hostile to Mrs. Doyle. Poirot must have known What, but you are also clear about his character. He won't explain it until the dust settles." Colonel Lace complained with a smile.

"But this is also the characteristic of Mr. Poirot. He always likes it like this, but if there is no mystery there, there are puzzles to spur us on. Compared with investigation, solving a case is an extremely boring thing."

The other passengers walked into the restaurant in a sparse manner.It seemed to everyone that if they sat down to eat, they would appear indifferent to the misfortune.There was an apologetic atmosphere in the restaurant.The state of the three of them at this time is undoubtedly completely different from this atmosphere.

Kaia hurriedly stood up, "It seems that the time has come for Mr. Poirot to show his skills. I can't wait."
