Open the back again, and there are still several handwritten diaries. Compared with the previous diary with neat handwriting, this diary has crooked fonts, which are much inferior, and there are some typos and pinyin substitutes.If the first two diaries were written by a cultural person, then this diary is probably written by the old man.
1976. 4, 8
The captain died strangely in the locked room, what else is the answer?It's nothing more than ghosts killing people. Some people were dishonest when they went to sea to worship Mazu's empress, which made her displeased and caused ghosts to rampantly kill people.One of the best proofs is that the sea has been uneven these few days, with wind blowing and raining at other times.
There is no other way, now the altar should be opened immediately, offering three animals and five fruits to the empress again, begging the empress juangu to accept that monster!
As a result, an interpreter on the boat, named Mite Liu or something, insisted that ghosts can't kill people, and people would kill people. He asked Kan to observe the scene, but he didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he gave Jin Song, so Jin Song agreed to his request.
Hmph, a cultural person, if he can speak bird language, it's amazing, if he has the ability, he can talk to seabirds and fish!
But this matter...is still interesting, and everyone is crowded in the captain's room to watch the excitement.
Mitt Liu stepped forward first, saying that he wanted to solve the mystery of the secret room. He took a fishing line and gesticulated on the lock of the deck door for a long time. Hey, he really locked it from the outside!When everyone was amazed, Mitt Liu overturned his speculation again, he said, because the door of the room leading to the deck opened inward, and the corpse was placed horizontally beside the door that opened inward, blocking the door.And if the body blocks the door, the prisoner cannot go out from the inside of the door, and it is impossible to escape from outside the deck.
Not to mention, after analyzing this, it makes sense!
The deck chief couldn't help but praise him loudly.Speaking of the deck captain, Feng Silong, Brother Long, he is a first-class good man who takes special care of the people below us, unlike the captain, a bastard with eyes on his head, who never takes us sailors seriously.Looking at the whole ship, only Brother Long was willing to stand up for us sailors, and the captain was on top.
That's wrong... In short, the inspection was endless, and after ruling out the possibility of the murderer escaping through the deck door, Mitt Liu began to study the door of the room again.Since the captain was placed under house arrest, there was a big lock with iron chains outside the door. Mitt Liu first checked whether the lock cylinder had been damaged, and then repeatedly checked with the person who kept the key whether the key had been lost. After all received negative answers, Mittelau made a startling statement:
The lock and key were stolen and replaced with another set (there are several similar locks in the warehouse)!This would allow the killer to bypass the problem of having to break the lock to open the door.
To be more specific, when everyone brought the food in and opened the lock and hung it aside, he replaced it with the same lock that he had the key.Because the lock does not require a key, the person in charge of the key does not know.
After killing people, take away this similar lock, re-hang the original lock that he stole and switched, and lock it again, and everything will be fine.
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar.
My good boy, with the eyes of a scholar, that is really bad, this kind of idea can be thought of, the terrible thing is that it is really feasible to think about it!
Mitt Liu started talking again, and he asked who brought the captain's meals these days.
It was me and Cao Hang who delivered the captain's meals.
He asked us if we had seen anyone who had disappeared (how did those two words be written?) when we were delivering meals to the captain.
I said I can't remember.Cao Hang also shook his head, but it wasn't that he didn't see it, it was that he saw too many people, the chief officer, the deck chief, the chief engineer...everything was there, not surprising, the chief officer's room was next door, and the chief officer was kind and hospitable , everyone often goes in and out of the chief mate's room.
Mitte Liu frowned, as if our answer was different from what he had imagined.
Cut, look at his conceited look, everything is under control...
In other words, anyone with access to the warehouse is suspect, right?Jin Song summed it up next to it.
But there are more people who can get close to the warehouse, even the managers can get close, even kitchen helpers like me who need to get the stock from the warehouse can get close, so how can we say that everyone may be black?
Fu Ge suddenly said: I think these sailors need to question and question carefully. Everyone knows that the captain doesn't think much of the sailors on weekdays, and the sailors probably have a lot of resentment hidden in their hearts.
damn thing!damn thing!This scapegoat was pushed over like this, I don't agree!
I immediately retorted loudly: You are the steward on the ship, you can also get close to the warehouse, and you are in charge of the key to the captain's room, so you are the most likely murderer!
My finger-pointing with him is interrupted majestically by Jin Song.
Jin Song said: That's all for today.
1976. 4, 11
After discovering the captain's body and analyzing it at the scene, in order to find the murderer and prevent the murderer from killing again, everyone's daily life in the past was completely overturned.
For three days in a row, all knives, sharp objects and ropes on our ship were controlled. Lao Chu was always watched by people when he was cooking and swinging knives. The smell of food permeates the cafeteria, everyone snores one after another, and those who can't sleep because of the noise...for example, I...have to suffer from a too sensitive nose, smell all kinds of sour pickled foot odor, and suffer from pain Because of my good eyesight, I watched cockroaches crawl past my head...
It was still the first half of the night, and when it was the second half of the night, I finally felt a little drowsy, and some people wanted to get up at night, and I couldn't go alone when I got up at night, I had to find someone to accompany me, and I made a lot of noise. I was woken up, and then no one was allowed to go out to wake up at night. I installed a urinal in a corner of the cafeteria, and went there when I wanted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Forget it, in the middle of the night, I don't know who knocked over the urinal, and there was a lot of vomiting...
Sleeping at night is difficult, and patrolling in a team during the day is another difficulty. In short, for three days in a row, everyone was tortured enough, and everyone was exhausted from body to mind. They could fall asleep standing up, and their temper was so bad Terrible, like a ball of fire in my heart, it will explode when it encounters a spark of oil.
In contrast, the matter of finding the murderer has not yet emerged.
Everyone has been guarded like this, and the labor reform prisoners in the prison have an easier life than us, and the murderer is not an idiot, so he will show his feet and let you catch him at this time!
Life on board was really depressing.
I thought of Ms. Huo, I gave her a plate of fruit, nothing worth it, just some long-lasting apples and oranges.But this is the privilege of those who work in the kitchen. I don't know if Miss Huo will dislike it...
I thought too much, Miss Huo thanked me happily, and even ate a slice of orange in front of my face.
It was a bit sour, Yu Yaner wrinkled her face so sourly that she stuck out her tongue.The one who purchased the cargo was Fu Ge, the steward, a bitch, who wronged me, embezzled everyone's food expenses, and then used some sour oranges and rotten apples that no one wanted to throw on the ground to perfuse us!
I was going to leave after delivering the things, but Ms. Huo stopped me and asked me to eat fruit with her.
I was taken aback. I should have refused. Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, they all tacitly kept a certain distance from Miss Huo so as not to disturb Miss Huo.But when my name came out of Ms. Huo's mouth, I felt bewitched... no, no, I sat down crookedly like I was lovesick.
'Lin Xiaodao', 'Lin Xiaodao', every time my name came out of Ms. Huo's mouth, a little bit more discomfort came out of my heart.I don't know what's wrong with me, but I suddenly feel dissatisfied with myself, especially my name, which has no momentum at all. This mediocre name seems to reflect my mediocre life.
I think, if I have the chance, I must change my name to Domineering.
Miss Huo suddenly asked me: Have you found the murderer who killed the captain?
I woke up from the self-y self-y (an idiom to describe self-blame), and saw Miss Huo's thin and pointed chin and dark circles under the eyes.It turns out that in the past few days, not only people outside have been suspicious of each other and exhausted, Miss Huo has also suffered with us.
An idea brewed in my mind...
But I didn't make up my mind, and I couldn't give Ms. Huo an answer in the end, so I retreated timidly and embarrassingly.But Ms. Huo always looked at me tolerantly, until I left for a long time, I still remembered her pair of watery and beautiful eyes... Those eyes broke into my dream, and they were the only thing in my ordinary dream that was not ordinary.
I have made a decision, and when everyone gathers for dinner in the canteen again, I stand up and declare, regard me as the murderer of the captain!
Everyone was in an uproar.But let me tell everyone that I am not the real murderer. The reason why I stood up to cover the bag is that everyone is tired and can't hold on anymore, but there is still no clue to track down the murderer.Most importantly, I don't want Miss Huo to worry endlessly with us.Since Miss Huo is on our ship, it is our duty to protect her and have a good time.
My speech won applause from the house, and I believe that my words reached everyone's heart.
Miss Huo is not just my dream, but everyone else's dream, at least all of us sailors.
She is the one person we will never touch again after this voyage.
1976. 4, 12
Now that the 'murderer' has been found, there must be a ceremony.
Under the bed in my room, I found a rope with damaged skin tissue. This is the rope that 'strangled' the captain.
When the stolen goods were found, I lowered my head and confessed. It was probably the method Mitt Liu deduced before to change the lock and enter the captain's cabin. The 'physical evidence' and 'confession' were complete. I was turned away and imprisoned in the room in front of Ms. Huo. And a separate 'guard' my crew.
During this process, I secretly watched Miss Huo.
After learning that the murderer was found, Ms. Huo was really happy. She seemed to have forgotten that I gave her the fruit plate before, but I can understand that we only faced Ms. Huo, and Ms. Huo faced all of us. She couldn't remember It's normal to live with me.
The decision to hold a dance on the ship was proposed by Mi Te Liu, saying that the murderer had been caught, and everyone should celebrate, and the ship sank.
This guy doesn't know anything else, but his mouth is very powerful... Everyone was moved by his words and began to actively prepare.
In the evening, they cleared out the canteen where everyone usually eats, hung up various decorations, added a lot of light bulbs, put wine and meat on the table extravagantly, and took out the captain's treasured tape player to play music.
I told everyone that I wanted to go to the dinner too.
Everyone objected, if the murderer attended the dinner party, what kind of murderer would he be?
I'll settle for the next best thing, you guys are inside, I'll hide outside and take a look.
Everyone agreed to me after hesitation, and I had a small place to stay outside the window of the cafeteria.
Miss Huo came out.
She was wearing a beautiful red dress. The velvet red dress was made by us sailors by tearing down the curtains, and Miss Huo's small and exquisite pearl crown was undoubtedly also gathered by our sailors from the sea!
The banquet started, and Mitt Liu was the first to dance with Miss Huo.I can't understand the pace of their jumping, but I can only hear whispering voices from inside, saying that it is Hua Zi, something very powerful, and everyone in the management team has gathered together to start learning.
I crouched outside the window, in the dark, and looked in at a small lighted window frame.
The smell of wine, the smell of food, and the red skirt, in the rising music and dense aroma, swirl, swirl, swirl...
Everyone except me lowered their usually proud heads and lined up, waiting to dance with Miss Huo.Ms. Huo is the only queen at this ball, and the rest of the people are all courtiers under her skirt. If anyone can get the queen's second favor at the ball, he will also get the jealousy of everyone present... But Although Miss Huo's clothes and jewelry are all due to us, the sailors don't know what Hua is like at all. One reckless one even stepped on Miss Huo's foot. After that, no sailor dared to go up again...
Even if these difficulties happened in the middle, the ball was still extremely lively, everyone danced, sang, and cheerful laughter spread far and wide on the dark sea, and this ship became a little paradise on the sea.
The dance went on for a long time, and finally the wine was drunk, the cups and plates were messed up, everyone was a little drunk, except for me, as a 'murderer', I was going to be 'guarded' in the room, and I was the only one who couldn't enter the dance and could only drink cold wind people.
Miss Huo was a little dizzy, so she went back to her room to sleep.
Everyone was too drunk, but the banquet site still had to be cleaned up. These were originally the tasks of the sailors, but today, the elders in charge were not in a hurry to leave, and sat on their seats one by one to digest their food.
Brother Long suddenly sighed: The atmosphere tonight is really good, it seems to have washed away the barriers of the previous three days.Then he asked, will we all sleep together tonight?
It’s okay not to mention this, but when it is mentioned, everyone inevitably thinks of snoring, foot odor, cockroaches, and urine, and the warm atmosphere just now disappears like a dream.
The driving assistant Qian Zhenyi is the first mate Jinsong. Qian Zhenyi has a good temper and is more sympathetic to the sailors below. He said: It is not a solution to continue like this. Can you find a new solution.
In fact, we already have a murderer.Fu Ge muttered among the crowd.Are you right?
murderer!What do you mean there is already a murderer!Wasn't he talking about me?I have already made sacrifices for everyone, now everyone wants to continue to beat me to the bone and suck the marrow?
That's fake!At the critical moment, the drunken Jin Song gave a loud drink.
Then, he sat up a little bit, and called me who stayed outside to let me in.
I went in and stared hard at Fu Ge and the management who wore the same trousers as Fu Ge.
Not to be outdone, Fu Ge looked at me and showed me a provocative smile.
Please stop.Jin Song said.Now the 'murderer' is just our self-deception.We can treat him as a 'murderer' to comfort ourselves, but will the murderer no longer pose a threat to us because we have done this?
Maybe the murderer just had a grudge against the captain, so he didn't necessarily want to kill us.Fu Ge muttered again.
Indeed, there is this possibility.We all hope that the killer only wants to kill the captain.Jin Song said.How about this, everyone is tired these days, I will give you a solution.
Since it is impossible to find a murderer now, let's not find any murderer.I also hope that the murderer hiding among us will stop here, and everyone will live in peace, and peace is a blessing.Since there is no murderer, the captain's body must be disposed of.
Let’s just draw a blind lottery. Whoever wins the lottery will throw the captain’s body in the freezer overboard. The body is gone and the evidence is destroyed. When we go back to the shore, we will tell the police that the captain is fighting. When fishing, he accidentally fell into the sea and drowned. In this way, what the murderer did was completely buried in the sea wind and waves.
As for the winners, there is no need to have a psychological burden. Except you, none of us will go to the freezer tonight, and we will all stay in our own rooms, so that no one will know who threw the captain's body down. .
Now, my idea, whoever is in favor and who is against, please raise your hand.
After Jin Song finished his long speech, the scene fell into silence, and no one raised their hands.
Jin Song looked around and said: Then I will take it as everyone agrees.
As he said that, Jin Song asked his driver Qian Zhenyi to find a big box and dug a mouth to use it as a signing box, and 21 toothpicks as sticks. In front of everyone, he scratched a mark with a red pen on one of the sticks , Then put them all into the lottery tube and let everyone draw.
Everyone at the scene, including Jin Song and Qian Zhenyi, took out a toothpick from the pick box. These toothpicks were hidden in their palms, and no one else could see them.
Then Jin Song greeted everyone, dispersed and went back to the room.
I followed suit. I was supposed to go back to the room, but halfway through, I remembered Miss Huo. When Miss Huo left the banquet, she said that her head hurt a little. I wonder if she feels better now?
When the banquet was held, everyone was inside, and only I was outside, lonely and cold; now, everyone has gone back to their rooms, if I was the only one who quietly went to Miss Huo’s room and took a sneak peek into the window, even if I was still lonely and cold. It's cold, and I also have things that others don't have, so I'll be more or less satisfied.
I came to Miss Huo's room, but there was already someone there!
Pay!
Fu Ge secretly took the key, opened Miss Huo's door, and walked in blindly!
The mongrel, the mongrel, the mongrel, the mongrel, the mongrel! ! !
I rushed up and wrestled with Fu Ge directly. We fought so loudly that the sleeping Miss Huo was startled. Miss Huo screamed when she saw us.
At the same time, there was a "boom" sound of a heavy object hitting the bottom of the sea at the same time as Miss Huo's scream.
Fu Ge and I were controlled by the crowd who rushed over.
1976. 4, 13
The next day, I found out that when Fu Ge and I were fighting last night, the captain's body fell into the sea, but Jin Song and Qian Zhenyi were also missing.
There are still dark blood stains on the floor of the cabin door facing the sea next to the cold storage, which is really scary!
Everyone suspected that Jin Song and Qian Zhenyi were dead, only Mitt Liu Chi objected to one thing, saying that there was no dead body, but more rigorously, missing. Tsk, the boat is so big, no one can be found anywhere, and the surrounding area is full of people. Wang Yang, people are not on the boat, they can only go into the sea, why, can they still climb onto the boat alive from the sea?
To be dead is to be dead—
I, Lin Xiaodao, promise that the diary on this page is written by myself, and I hereby explain it.
silence.
Facing the bloodstains on the deck of the room, the only thing left to the people present was silence.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. The things that were analyzed in front of Boss Lin's body just now seemed to have been overturned.Now there is only the pool of blood in front of them, and they will give them a stinky smile, a murderer's smile.
Amidst the hesitation of the crowd, Meng Lingshan was still the first to step forward.
He watched carefully.
The blood on the deck was concentrated in one place, not yet completely solidified, in a round shape, surrounded by splashed blood droplets.According to the shape of the blood dripping, it is roughly estimated that it dripped at a height of about one meter in diameter. At this location, it should be stabbed in the abdomen or lower back with a sharp weapon, and then took advantage of the severe pain of the other party before it had time to react, directly Turn people over and throw them into the sea.
Considering that there were no splash marks at the scene, it is very likely that the murder weapon was still inserted into the victim's body and sank into the sea with the victim.
"Who lives in this room?" Everyone found their voices at this moment.
People fell into the sea and died, which is shocking, but what may be even more shocking in this incident is that they have no idea who fell into the sea and died.
"What's the room number?" Mr. Liu asked at this time, he came in too hastily just now, and didn't pay attention to the room number.
"It's room 228." The bodyguard standing outside said quickly.
"Room 228..."
Mr. Liu pondered, and whispered a few words to the bodyguard next to him, asking someone to check the information of the boss who lives here.The bodyguard quickly showed Mr. Liu the phone screen.
Mr. Liu took a look: "The owner who lives here is named Ni."
Then I didn't say any more.
Everyone covered their faces and said their surnames, which meant they didn't say anything.
Meng Lingshan could only recall the absent one based on all the bosses present at the scene. He searched his brain and only remembered the boss standing in the middle of the hall in the morning, but more specifically his height, approximate weight, and any striking features on his body. , What about the chin exposed outside the mask, I can't remember at all, I just remember a middle-aged man in his forties.
It would be great if Ji Xun was there at that time, as long as he glanced at it, he could draw all the people in the middle hall at that time in detail.
It's a pity that that guy is still under the deck.
I don't know if he found something wrong.
Meng Lingshan's thoughts strayed for a moment, then he regained his composure and continued to analyze the situation in front of him.
Just why is the fighting place on the deck?If it was also used as an excuse to search the door, the location where the boss stayed should be inside the room.Did the murderer use some kind of speech technique to lure the other party to the deck so that it would be easier to strike?
He also said that the other party was not the so-called 'investigator' at all, but someone the boss knew.
Meng Lingshan glanced over the four bosses he found on the second floor.
Two bosses with close identities were talking on the deck, and one of them made a surprise attack, stabbed the victim and threw him into the sea... It also seemed completely reasonable and easy to operate.
"Has this room been checked before? Who checked it." Mr. Liu asked.
"It's me and the head chef." At the scene, the assistant chef spoke, because there was a murder case in the room he inspected, he was a little trembling, "At that time, no one was in the room, and there was no blood on the deck. The head chef and I checked around and found nothing. After seeing the jammer, I left..."
This is also a matter of course. It is impossible for the people who came to check at that time not to see such eye-catching bloodstains.
"From hearing the sound to running down, it took only one or two minutes at most. During these two minutes, the murderer would never run to the ends of the earth. After the murderer finished killing someone, if he walked in the direction of Zhongtang, he would definitely meet the person who came down." We; then there are only two roads left for the murderer right now, one is to run from the direction of the cab, and there are stairs from the direction of the cab to the first floor; the second is to hide in the other rooms."
When Mr. Liu said this, he stopped.
The four bosses who stayed on the second floor were puzzled: "There is no one in our room. You just took the universal card to check the rest of the rooms. There is no one. The murderer of course ran away from the stairs in the cab. Is this still worth considering?"
Mr. Liu was noncommittal.
"Mr. Liu, do you mean that the murderer is one of the four bosses present?" The short boss jumped up. Although he is short, he can jump three feet high. Since everyone doesn’t know anyone, come here just for fun, we, the scene, everyone, can’t be the murderer! I think the ship is so big, maybe the murderer might really be a ‘ghost’!”
Boss Jiang looked pale.
"The boat is so big, the kind of ghost you trash bodyguards couldn't find." The short boss added, "It's a human!"
Boss Jiang can finally breathe.
"Also, I remember that the boss is not too old, he must be a middle-aged man." I can't tell, the short boss's memory is not bad, "The '40 years' you were hiding just now, 40 years ago, this The boss is still a kid in open crotch pants. It is impossible for him to have anything to do with it. But now that he is dead, it is clear that what happened to you 40 years ago hurt us. No, it’s not just us. I see those The crew is also very dangerous! I suggest that everyone openly and honestly explain what happened 40 years ago, so that we can know whether we are still in danger in the future, and what kind of danger we are in!"
Except for Mr. Liu, Boss Jiang and Boss Wu, almost everyone looked at them.
Those crew members were more obviously hesitant to speak.
"It's nothing like 40 years ago." Mr. Liu put away the strangeness on his face and said lightly.
"The nursery rhymes have come out." Boss Carrot was not happy, "You still say there are no?"
"Nursery rhymes are another matter." Mr. Liu.
The four bosses felt that they couldn't keep up with the steps: "What nursery rhymes, what 40 years ago?"
The short boss quickly explained the above situation to the four bosses who didn't go up, emphasizing "the sky is green, the land is barren", "strangle to death", "put your tongue in your hand to sacrifice to Mazu", "Boss Jiang is extremely Faint” and other horror scenes.
One of the four people with long hair and a low ponytail exclaimed, "I know that!"
There are very few men with long hair, and everyone immediately remembered this one.The short boss also slapped his legs: "Boss ponytail, tell me!"
"Boss Ponytail?" Boss Ponytail was so confused that he didn't care about the debate, and quickly said what he knew.
It's a long story.
After listening to it for a long time, everyone found that it was a horrible ghost story about destroying one's own corpse, eating the corpse, eating tricks, and eating the level.
"Don't you know?" Boss Mawei saw that everyone was silent, and said again, "This has been widely circulated on the ship. Meimei told me that it is a copy of script killing. I have always wanted to play, but always There are not enough people, alas, you don't like to play this..."
Who is Meimei?
Guess it was some woman on the boat.
Perhaps this has long been circulated among the women and crew members on board.
Everyone thought numbly.The short boss began to break the book with his fingers: "Now the scripted killing has entered reality, if the murderer really wants to kill according to the script...this ghost story kills, how many more do we have to die...Ten, twenty? Are these people on board enough to kill him?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Mr. Liu was a little impatient, as if everyone present was making trouble out of nowhere, "How could such a script be played on the boat? It's just a variant of the legend of Mazu. There are not enough ghost stories like this in the sea. Strange."
"The first method of death in the story corresponds to the scene one by one. We saw the tongue; but the second method of death in the story is to dig out the kidney. Why is there no kidney at the scene?" The short boss suddenly raised doubts.
"Is it too late?" Boss Carrot guessed.
"We ran down when we heard the sound of falling into the water, and the activity of digging out the kidney was to be carried out while the victim was still on board." Silver Mask corrected.
It's not kidney digging, Meng Lingshan thought.
Just now Jiang, Wu, and Liu changed their colors when they saw this scene, and there were only two messages of blood and falling into the water at this scene.If these were to be related to nursery rhymes, I'm afraid he could only speculate based on the shape of the bloodstains that the deceased's abdomen was injured.
The kidneys are located in the waist and abdomen.
In this way, it wasn't the prophecies of ghosts that triggered their memories, but the real scene of the murder!
What the legend is a metaphor for is actually a different method of murder.
"It's not the tongue, it's the rope." Meng Lingshan said, "When people are strangled by the rope, they instinctively want to get more air, so the tongue sticks out involuntarily. The first person cut off his own tongue, implying that The point of death is actually suffocation. The second and third people dig out the kidney, which means being stabbed in the kidney.”
"Then there is a third person who will be stabbed?" The short boss yelled, "What sharp weapon is there on the boat? Hurry up and put it away! Confiscate his crime tools!!"
"I'm afraid it's not enough to put away sharp weapons." Silver Mask said, "The fourth way of death in the story is to be hit on the skull. All blunt weapons can be achieved. You can't confiscate the whole ship's blunt weapons."
"By the way, and," the silver mask whispered, seeming to be laughing, "the fifth way of death is that the blood of the whole body is sacrificed. After thinking about it, it will travel through the whole body through the blood. The possibility of poison is very high. It can be dropped in food, do you want to stop eating anything from now on?"
"...The murderer, the murderer also follows the rules, right? Without rules, nothing can be done," Boss Carrot stammered, "The murderer must kill the third person who died with a sharp weapon, and then deal with the rest... "
"Since this 'story' is so important," Mr. Liu also smiled. Since everyone is determined to analyze the 'nursery rhyme', he simply analyzes it with them and puts forward a particularly sharp opinion, "In the story, two people were stabbed by a sharp knife. The body with the kidney pierced appeared at the same time. Have you ever thought that the third person has already been killed, but the murderer wore the suit and mask left by the deceased, mixed among us, and watched our excitement? "
Everyone was frying the pot. Before all kinds of screams flew around, Mr. Liu, who caused a commotion among all the bosses, said again:
"But please rest assured, this kind of thing is easy to solve, just let me see your true face under the mask."
"..."
Meng Lingshan couldn't help but glanced at the silver mask.
"Remove the mask?" The seven bosses hesitated.
Masks are their talismans. Only when they wear masks can they do whatever they want on this ship. Once the masks are taken off, all the orders in the orderly society will return to their place at the same time.
"Of course it has to be removed." Mr. Liu, "But on the uppermost floor of the ship, in my lounge, I will remove it when I drink tea one-on-one. At that time, there will only be two bodyguards by my side. No matter what time we We still guarantee the safety of your identities.”
He ended with a cold humor:
"Even if there is no safety of life, at least there is safety of reputation."
At the same time, a window was kicked open below the ship's deck.
Then, a head popped out.
The back of Ji Xun's head was facing the turbulent sea, his forehead was aimed at the boundless sky, and his eyes followed the white and smooth hull of the giant ship, climbing up bit by bit until he reached the deck railing that seemed out of reach in sight. A sigh of soul:
"How the hell are you going to get there!"

The captain died strangely in the locked room, what else is the answer?It's nothing more than ghosts killing people. Some people were dishonest when they went to sea to worship Mazu's empress, which made her displeased and caused ghosts to rampantly kill people.One of the best proofs is that the sea has been uneven these few days, with wind blowing and raining at other times.
There is no other way, now the altar should be opened immediately, offering three animals and five fruits to the empress again, begging the empress juangu to accept that monster!
As a result, an interpreter on the boat, named Mite Liu or something, insisted that ghosts can't kill people, and people would kill people. He asked Kan to observe the scene, but he didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he gave Jin Song, so Jin Song agreed to his request.
Hmph, a cultural person, if he can speak bird language, it's amazing, if he has the ability, he can talk to seabirds and fish!
But this matter...is still interesting, and everyone is crowded in the captain's room to watch the excitement.
Mitt Liu stepped forward first, saying that he wanted to solve the mystery of the secret room. He took a fishing line and gesticulated on the lock of the deck door for a long time. Hey, he really locked it from the outside!When everyone was amazed, Mitt Liu overturned his speculation again, he said, because the door of the room leading to the deck opened inward, and the corpse was placed horizontally beside the door that opened inward, blocking the door.And if the body blocks the door, the prisoner cannot go out from the inside of the door, and it is impossible to escape from outside the deck.
Not to mention, after analyzing this, it makes sense!
The deck chief couldn't help but praise him loudly.Speaking of the deck captain, Feng Silong, Brother Long, he is a first-class good man who takes special care of the people below us, unlike the captain, a bastard with eyes on his head, who never takes us sailors seriously.Looking at the whole ship, only Brother Long was willing to stand up for us sailors, and the captain was on top.
That's wrong... In short, the inspection was endless, and after ruling out the possibility of the murderer escaping through the deck door, Mitt Liu began to study the door of the room again.Since the captain was placed under house arrest, there was a big lock with iron chains outside the door. Mitt Liu first checked whether the lock cylinder had been damaged, and then repeatedly checked with the person who kept the key whether the key had been lost. After all received negative answers, Mittelau made a startling statement:
The lock and key were stolen and replaced with another set (there are several similar locks in the warehouse)!This would allow the killer to bypass the problem of having to break the lock to open the door.
To be more specific, when everyone brought the food in and opened the lock and hung it aside, he replaced it with the same lock that he had the key.Because the lock does not require a key, the person in charge of the key does not know.
After killing people, take away this similar lock, re-hang the original lock that he stole and switched, and lock it again, and everything will be fine.
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar.
My good boy, with the eyes of a scholar, that is really bad, this kind of idea can be thought of, the terrible thing is that it is really feasible to think about it!
Mitt Liu started talking again, and he asked who brought the captain's meals these days.
It was me and Cao Hang who delivered the captain's meals.
He asked us if we had seen anyone who had disappeared (how did those two words be written?) when we were delivering meals to the captain.
I said I can't remember.Cao Hang also shook his head, but it wasn't that he didn't see it, it was that he saw too many people, the chief officer, the deck chief, the chief engineer...everything was there, not surprising, the chief officer's room was next door, and the chief officer was kind and hospitable , everyone often goes in and out of the chief mate's room.
Mitte Liu frowned, as if our answer was different from what he had imagined.
Cut, look at his conceited look, everything is under control...
In other words, anyone with access to the warehouse is suspect, right?Jin Song summed it up next to it.
But there are more people who can get close to the warehouse, even the managers can get close, even kitchen helpers like me who need to get the stock from the warehouse can get close, so how can we say that everyone may be black?
Fu Ge suddenly said: I think these sailors need to question and question carefully. Everyone knows that the captain doesn't think much of the sailors on weekdays, and the sailors probably have a lot of resentment hidden in their hearts.
damn thing!damn thing!This scapegoat was pushed over like this, I don't agree!
I immediately retorted loudly: You are the steward on the ship, you can also get close to the warehouse, and you are in charge of the key to the captain's room, so you are the most likely murderer!
My finger-pointing with him is interrupted majestically by Jin Song.
Jin Song said: That's all for today.
1976. 4, 11
After discovering the captain's body and analyzing it at the scene, in order to find the murderer and prevent the murderer from killing again, everyone's daily life in the past was completely overturned.
For three days in a row, all knives, sharp objects and ropes on our ship were controlled. Lao Chu was always watched by people when he was cooking and swinging knives. The smell of food permeates the cafeteria, everyone snores one after another, and those who can't sleep because of the noise...for example, I...have to suffer from a too sensitive nose, smell all kinds of sour pickled foot odor, and suffer from pain Because of my good eyesight, I watched cockroaches crawl past my head...
It was still the first half of the night, and when it was the second half of the night, I finally felt a little drowsy, and some people wanted to get up at night, and I couldn't go alone when I got up at night, I had to find someone to accompany me, and I made a lot of noise. I was woken up, and then no one was allowed to go out to wake up at night. I installed a urinal in a corner of the cafeteria, and went there when I wanted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Forget it, in the middle of the night, I don't know who knocked over the urinal, and there was a lot of vomiting...
Sleeping at night is difficult, and patrolling in a team during the day is another difficulty. In short, for three days in a row, everyone was tortured enough, and everyone was exhausted from body to mind. They could fall asleep standing up, and their temper was so bad Terrible, like a ball of fire in my heart, it will explode when it encounters a spark of oil.
In contrast, the matter of finding the murderer has not yet emerged.
Everyone has been guarded like this, and the labor reform prisoners in the prison have an easier life than us, and the murderer is not an idiot, so he will show his feet and let you catch him at this time!
Life on board was really depressing.
I thought of Ms. Huo, I gave her a plate of fruit, nothing worth it, just some long-lasting apples and oranges.But this is the privilege of those who work in the kitchen. I don't know if Miss Huo will dislike it...
I thought too much, Miss Huo thanked me happily, and even ate a slice of orange in front of my face.
It was a bit sour, Yu Yaner wrinkled her face so sourly that she stuck out her tongue.The one who purchased the cargo was Fu Ge, the steward, a bitch, who wronged me, embezzled everyone's food expenses, and then used some sour oranges and rotten apples that no one wanted to throw on the ground to perfuse us!
I was going to leave after delivering the things, but Ms. Huo stopped me and asked me to eat fruit with her.
I was taken aback. I should have refused. Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, they all tacitly kept a certain distance from Miss Huo so as not to disturb Miss Huo.But when my name came out of Ms. Huo's mouth, I felt bewitched... no, no, I sat down crookedly like I was lovesick.
'Lin Xiaodao', 'Lin Xiaodao', every time my name came out of Ms. Huo's mouth, a little bit more discomfort came out of my heart.I don't know what's wrong with me, but I suddenly feel dissatisfied with myself, especially my name, which has no momentum at all. This mediocre name seems to reflect my mediocre life.
I think, if I have the chance, I must change my name to Domineering.
Miss Huo suddenly asked me: Have you found the murderer who killed the captain?
I woke up from the self-y self-y (an idiom to describe self-blame), and saw Miss Huo's thin and pointed chin and dark circles under the eyes.It turns out that in the past few days, not only people outside have been suspicious of each other and exhausted, Miss Huo has also suffered with us.
An idea brewed in my mind...
But I didn't make up my mind, and I couldn't give Ms. Huo an answer in the end, so I retreated timidly and embarrassingly.But Ms. Huo always looked at me tolerantly, until I left for a long time, I still remembered her pair of watery and beautiful eyes... Those eyes broke into my dream, and they were the only thing in my ordinary dream that was not ordinary.
I have made a decision, and when everyone gathers for dinner in the canteen again, I stand up and declare, regard me as the murderer of the captain!
Everyone was in an uproar.But let me tell everyone that I am not the real murderer. The reason why I stood up to cover the bag is that everyone is tired and can't hold on anymore, but there is still no clue to track down the murderer.Most importantly, I don't want Miss Huo to worry endlessly with us.Since Miss Huo is on our ship, it is our duty to protect her and have a good time.
My speech won applause from the house, and I believe that my words reached everyone's heart.
Miss Huo is not just my dream, but everyone else's dream, at least all of us sailors.
She is the one person we will never touch again after this voyage.
1976. 4, 12
Now that the 'murderer' has been found, there must be a ceremony.
Under the bed in my room, I found a rope with damaged skin tissue. This is the rope that 'strangled' the captain.
When the stolen goods were found, I lowered my head and confessed. It was probably the method Mitt Liu deduced before to change the lock and enter the captain's cabin. The 'physical evidence' and 'confession' were complete. I was turned away and imprisoned in the room in front of Ms. Huo. And a separate 'guard' my crew.
During this process, I secretly watched Miss Huo.
After learning that the murderer was found, Ms. Huo was really happy. She seemed to have forgotten that I gave her the fruit plate before, but I can understand that we only faced Ms. Huo, and Ms. Huo faced all of us. She couldn't remember It's normal to live with me.
The decision to hold a dance on the ship was proposed by Mi Te Liu, saying that the murderer had been caught, and everyone should celebrate, and the ship sank.
This guy doesn't know anything else, but his mouth is very powerful... Everyone was moved by his words and began to actively prepare.
In the evening, they cleared out the canteen where everyone usually eats, hung up various decorations, added a lot of light bulbs, put wine and meat on the table extravagantly, and took out the captain's treasured tape player to play music.
I told everyone that I wanted to go to the dinner too.
Everyone objected, if the murderer attended the dinner party, what kind of murderer would he be?
I'll settle for the next best thing, you guys are inside, I'll hide outside and take a look.
Everyone agreed to me after hesitation, and I had a small place to stay outside the window of the cafeteria.
Miss Huo came out.
She was wearing a beautiful red dress. The velvet red dress was made by us sailors by tearing down the curtains, and Miss Huo's small and exquisite pearl crown was undoubtedly also gathered by our sailors from the sea!
The banquet started, and Mitt Liu was the first to dance with Miss Huo.I can't understand the pace of their jumping, but I can only hear whispering voices from inside, saying that it is Hua Zi, something very powerful, and everyone in the management team has gathered together to start learning.
I crouched outside the window, in the dark, and looked in at a small lighted window frame.
The smell of wine, the smell of food, and the red skirt, in the rising music and dense aroma, swirl, swirl, swirl...
Everyone except me lowered their usually proud heads and lined up, waiting to dance with Miss Huo.Ms. Huo is the only queen at this ball, and the rest of the people are all courtiers under her skirt. If anyone can get the queen's second favor at the ball, he will also get the jealousy of everyone present... But Although Miss Huo's clothes and jewelry are all due to us, the sailors don't know what Hua is like at all. One reckless one even stepped on Miss Huo's foot. After that, no sailor dared to go up again...
Even if these difficulties happened in the middle, the ball was still extremely lively, everyone danced, sang, and cheerful laughter spread far and wide on the dark sea, and this ship became a little paradise on the sea.
The dance went on for a long time, and finally the wine was drunk, the cups and plates were messed up, everyone was a little drunk, except for me, as a 'murderer', I was going to be 'guarded' in the room, and I was the only one who couldn't enter the dance and could only drink cold wind people.
Miss Huo was a little dizzy, so she went back to her room to sleep.
Everyone was too drunk, but the banquet site still had to be cleaned up. These were originally the tasks of the sailors, but today, the elders in charge were not in a hurry to leave, and sat on their seats one by one to digest their food.
Brother Long suddenly sighed: The atmosphere tonight is really good, it seems to have washed away the barriers of the previous three days.Then he asked, will we all sleep together tonight?
It’s okay not to mention this, but when it is mentioned, everyone inevitably thinks of snoring, foot odor, cockroaches, and urine, and the warm atmosphere just now disappears like a dream.
The driving assistant Qian Zhenyi is the first mate Jinsong. Qian Zhenyi has a good temper and is more sympathetic to the sailors below. He said: It is not a solution to continue like this. Can you find a new solution.
In fact, we already have a murderer.Fu Ge muttered among the crowd.Are you right?
murderer!What do you mean there is already a murderer!Wasn't he talking about me?I have already made sacrifices for everyone, now everyone wants to continue to beat me to the bone and suck the marrow?
That's fake!At the critical moment, the drunken Jin Song gave a loud drink.
Then, he sat up a little bit, and called me who stayed outside to let me in.
I went in and stared hard at Fu Ge and the management who wore the same trousers as Fu Ge.
Not to be outdone, Fu Ge looked at me and showed me a provocative smile.
Please stop.Jin Song said.Now the 'murderer' is just our self-deception.We can treat him as a 'murderer' to comfort ourselves, but will the murderer no longer pose a threat to us because we have done this?
Maybe the murderer just had a grudge against the captain, so he didn't necessarily want to kill us.Fu Ge muttered again.
Indeed, there is this possibility.We all hope that the killer only wants to kill the captain.Jin Song said.How about this, everyone is tired these days, I will give you a solution.
Since it is impossible to find a murderer now, let's not find any murderer.I also hope that the murderer hiding among us will stop here, and everyone will live in peace, and peace is a blessing.Since there is no murderer, the captain's body must be disposed of.
Let’s just draw a blind lottery. Whoever wins the lottery will throw the captain’s body in the freezer overboard. The body is gone and the evidence is destroyed. When we go back to the shore, we will tell the police that the captain is fighting. When fishing, he accidentally fell into the sea and drowned. In this way, what the murderer did was completely buried in the sea wind and waves.
As for the winners, there is no need to have a psychological burden. Except you, none of us will go to the freezer tonight, and we will all stay in our own rooms, so that no one will know who threw the captain's body down. .
Now, my idea, whoever is in favor and who is against, please raise your hand.
After Jin Song finished his long speech, the scene fell into silence, and no one raised their hands.
Jin Song looked around and said: Then I will take it as everyone agrees.
As he said that, Jin Song asked his driver Qian Zhenyi to find a big box and dug a mouth to use it as a signing box, and 21 toothpicks as sticks. In front of everyone, he scratched a mark with a red pen on one of the sticks , Then put them all into the lottery tube and let everyone draw.
Everyone at the scene, including Jin Song and Qian Zhenyi, took out a toothpick from the pick box. These toothpicks were hidden in their palms, and no one else could see them.
Then Jin Song greeted everyone, dispersed and went back to the room.
I followed suit. I was supposed to go back to the room, but halfway through, I remembered Miss Huo. When Miss Huo left the banquet, she said that her head hurt a little. I wonder if she feels better now?
When the banquet was held, everyone was inside, and only I was outside, lonely and cold; now, everyone has gone back to their rooms, if I was the only one who quietly went to Miss Huo’s room and took a sneak peek into the window, even if I was still lonely and cold. It's cold, and I also have things that others don't have, so I'll be more or less satisfied.
I came to Miss Huo's room, but there was already someone there!
Pay!
Fu Ge secretly took the key, opened Miss Huo's door, and walked in blindly!
The mongrel, the mongrel, the mongrel, the mongrel, the mongrel! ! !
I rushed up and wrestled with Fu Ge directly. We fought so loudly that the sleeping Miss Huo was startled. Miss Huo screamed when she saw us.
At the same time, there was a "boom" sound of a heavy object hitting the bottom of the sea at the same time as Miss Huo's scream.
Fu Ge and I were controlled by the crowd who rushed over.
1976. 4, 13
The next day, I found out that when Fu Ge and I were fighting last night, the captain's body fell into the sea, but Jin Song and Qian Zhenyi were also missing.
There are still dark blood stains on the floor of the cabin door facing the sea next to the cold storage, which is really scary!
Everyone suspected that Jin Song and Qian Zhenyi were dead, only Mitt Liu Chi objected to one thing, saying that there was no dead body, but more rigorously, missing. Tsk, the boat is so big, no one can be found anywhere, and the surrounding area is full of people. Wang Yang, people are not on the boat, they can only go into the sea, why, can they still climb onto the boat alive from the sea?
To be dead is to be dead—
I, Lin Xiaodao, promise that the diary on this page is written by myself, and I hereby explain it.
silence.
Facing the bloodstains on the deck of the room, the only thing left to the people present was silence.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. The things that were analyzed in front of Boss Lin's body just now seemed to have been overturned.Now there is only the pool of blood in front of them, and they will give them a stinky smile, a murderer's smile.
Amidst the hesitation of the crowd, Meng Lingshan was still the first to step forward.
He watched carefully.
The blood on the deck was concentrated in one place, not yet completely solidified, in a round shape, surrounded by splashed blood droplets.According to the shape of the blood dripping, it is roughly estimated that it dripped at a height of about one meter in diameter. At this location, it should be stabbed in the abdomen or lower back with a sharp weapon, and then took advantage of the severe pain of the other party before it had time to react, directly Turn people over and throw them into the sea.
Considering that there were no splash marks at the scene, it is very likely that the murder weapon was still inserted into the victim's body and sank into the sea with the victim.
"Who lives in this room?" Everyone found their voices at this moment.
People fell into the sea and died, which is shocking, but what may be even more shocking in this incident is that they have no idea who fell into the sea and died.
"What's the room number?" Mr. Liu asked at this time, he came in too hastily just now, and didn't pay attention to the room number.
"It's room 228." The bodyguard standing outside said quickly.
"Room 228..."
Mr. Liu pondered, and whispered a few words to the bodyguard next to him, asking someone to check the information of the boss who lives here.The bodyguard quickly showed Mr. Liu the phone screen.
Mr. Liu took a look: "The owner who lives here is named Ni."
Then I didn't say any more.
Everyone covered their faces and said their surnames, which meant they didn't say anything.
Meng Lingshan could only recall the absent one based on all the bosses present at the scene. He searched his brain and only remembered the boss standing in the middle of the hall in the morning, but more specifically his height, approximate weight, and any striking features on his body. , What about the chin exposed outside the mask, I can't remember at all, I just remember a middle-aged man in his forties.
It would be great if Ji Xun was there at that time, as long as he glanced at it, he could draw all the people in the middle hall at that time in detail.
It's a pity that that guy is still under the deck.
I don't know if he found something wrong.
Meng Lingshan's thoughts strayed for a moment, then he regained his composure and continued to analyze the situation in front of him.
Just why is the fighting place on the deck?If it was also used as an excuse to search the door, the location where the boss stayed should be inside the room.Did the murderer use some kind of speech technique to lure the other party to the deck so that it would be easier to strike?
He also said that the other party was not the so-called 'investigator' at all, but someone the boss knew.
Meng Lingshan glanced over the four bosses he found on the second floor.
Two bosses with close identities were talking on the deck, and one of them made a surprise attack, stabbed the victim and threw him into the sea... It also seemed completely reasonable and easy to operate.
"Has this room been checked before? Who checked it." Mr. Liu asked.
"It's me and the head chef." At the scene, the assistant chef spoke, because there was a murder case in the room he inspected, he was a little trembling, "At that time, no one was in the room, and there was no blood on the deck. The head chef and I checked around and found nothing. After seeing the jammer, I left..."
This is also a matter of course. It is impossible for the people who came to check at that time not to see such eye-catching bloodstains.
"From hearing the sound to running down, it took only one or two minutes at most. During these two minutes, the murderer would never run to the ends of the earth. After the murderer finished killing someone, if he walked in the direction of Zhongtang, he would definitely meet the person who came down." We; then there are only two roads left for the murderer right now, one is to run from the direction of the cab, and there are stairs from the direction of the cab to the first floor; the second is to hide in the other rooms."
When Mr. Liu said this, he stopped.
The four bosses who stayed on the second floor were puzzled: "There is no one in our room. You just took the universal card to check the rest of the rooms. There is no one. The murderer of course ran away from the stairs in the cab. Is this still worth considering?"
Mr. Liu was noncommittal.
"Mr. Liu, do you mean that the murderer is one of the four bosses present?" The short boss jumped up. Although he is short, he can jump three feet high. Since everyone doesn’t know anyone, come here just for fun, we, the scene, everyone, can’t be the murderer! I think the ship is so big, maybe the murderer might really be a ‘ghost’!”
Boss Jiang looked pale.
"The boat is so big, the kind of ghost you trash bodyguards couldn't find." The short boss added, "It's a human!"
Boss Jiang can finally breathe.
"Also, I remember that the boss is not too old, he must be a middle-aged man." I can't tell, the short boss's memory is not bad, "The '40 years' you were hiding just now, 40 years ago, this The boss is still a kid in open crotch pants. It is impossible for him to have anything to do with it. But now that he is dead, it is clear that what happened to you 40 years ago hurt us. No, it’s not just us. I see those The crew is also very dangerous! I suggest that everyone openly and honestly explain what happened 40 years ago, so that we can know whether we are still in danger in the future, and what kind of danger we are in!"
Except for Mr. Liu, Boss Jiang and Boss Wu, almost everyone looked at them.
Those crew members were more obviously hesitant to speak.
"It's nothing like 40 years ago." Mr. Liu put away the strangeness on his face and said lightly.
"The nursery rhymes have come out." Boss Carrot was not happy, "You still say there are no?"
"Nursery rhymes are another matter." Mr. Liu.
The four bosses felt that they couldn't keep up with the steps: "What nursery rhymes, what 40 years ago?"
The short boss quickly explained the above situation to the four bosses who didn't go up, emphasizing "the sky is green, the land is barren", "strangle to death", "put your tongue in your hand to sacrifice to Mazu", "Boss Jiang is extremely Faint” and other horror scenes.
One of the four people with long hair and a low ponytail exclaimed, "I know that!"
There are very few men with long hair, and everyone immediately remembered this one.The short boss also slapped his legs: "Boss ponytail, tell me!"
"Boss Ponytail?" Boss Ponytail was so confused that he didn't care about the debate, and quickly said what he knew.
It's a long story.
After listening to it for a long time, everyone found that it was a horrible ghost story about destroying one's own corpse, eating the corpse, eating tricks, and eating the level.
"Don't you know?" Boss Mawei saw that everyone was silent, and said again, "This has been widely circulated on the ship. Meimei told me that it is a copy of script killing. I have always wanted to play, but always There are not enough people, alas, you don't like to play this..."
Who is Meimei?
Guess it was some woman on the boat.
Perhaps this has long been circulated among the women and crew members on board.
Everyone thought numbly.The short boss began to break the book with his fingers: "Now the scripted killing has entered reality, if the murderer really wants to kill according to the script...this ghost story kills, how many more do we have to die...Ten, twenty? Are these people on board enough to kill him?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Mr. Liu was a little impatient, as if everyone present was making trouble out of nowhere, "How could such a script be played on the boat? It's just a variant of the legend of Mazu. There are not enough ghost stories like this in the sea. Strange."
"The first method of death in the story corresponds to the scene one by one. We saw the tongue; but the second method of death in the story is to dig out the kidney. Why is there no kidney at the scene?" The short boss suddenly raised doubts.
"Is it too late?" Boss Carrot guessed.
"We ran down when we heard the sound of falling into the water, and the activity of digging out the kidney was to be carried out while the victim was still on board." Silver Mask corrected.
It's not kidney digging, Meng Lingshan thought.
Just now Jiang, Wu, and Liu changed their colors when they saw this scene, and there were only two messages of blood and falling into the water at this scene.If these were to be related to nursery rhymes, I'm afraid he could only speculate based on the shape of the bloodstains that the deceased's abdomen was injured.
The kidneys are located in the waist and abdomen.
In this way, it wasn't the prophecies of ghosts that triggered their memories, but the real scene of the murder!
What the legend is a metaphor for is actually a different method of murder.
"It's not the tongue, it's the rope." Meng Lingshan said, "When people are strangled by the rope, they instinctively want to get more air, so the tongue sticks out involuntarily. The first person cut off his own tongue, implying that The point of death is actually suffocation. The second and third people dig out the kidney, which means being stabbed in the kidney.”
"Then there is a third person who will be stabbed?" The short boss yelled, "What sharp weapon is there on the boat? Hurry up and put it away! Confiscate his crime tools!!"
"I'm afraid it's not enough to put away sharp weapons." Silver Mask said, "The fourth way of death in the story is to be hit on the skull. All blunt weapons can be achieved. You can't confiscate the whole ship's blunt weapons."
"By the way, and," the silver mask whispered, seeming to be laughing, "the fifth way of death is that the blood of the whole body is sacrificed. After thinking about it, it will travel through the whole body through the blood. The possibility of poison is very high. It can be dropped in food, do you want to stop eating anything from now on?"
"...The murderer, the murderer also follows the rules, right? Without rules, nothing can be done," Boss Carrot stammered, "The murderer must kill the third person who died with a sharp weapon, and then deal with the rest... "
"Since this 'story' is so important," Mr. Liu also smiled. Since everyone is determined to analyze the 'nursery rhyme', he simply analyzes it with them and puts forward a particularly sharp opinion, "In the story, two people were stabbed by a sharp knife. The body with the kidney pierced appeared at the same time. Have you ever thought that the third person has already been killed, but the murderer wore the suit and mask left by the deceased, mixed among us, and watched our excitement? "
Everyone was frying the pot. Before all kinds of screams flew around, Mr. Liu, who caused a commotion among all the bosses, said again:
"But please rest assured, this kind of thing is easy to solve, just let me see your true face under the mask."
"..."
Meng Lingshan couldn't help but glanced at the silver mask.
"Remove the mask?" The seven bosses hesitated.
Masks are their talismans. Only when they wear masks can they do whatever they want on this ship. Once the masks are taken off, all the orders in the orderly society will return to their place at the same time.
"Of course it has to be removed." Mr. Liu, "But on the uppermost floor of the ship, in my lounge, I will remove it when I drink tea one-on-one. At that time, there will only be two bodyguards by my side. No matter what time we We still guarantee the safety of your identities.”
He ended with a cold humor:
"Even if there is no safety of life, at least there is safety of reputation."
At the same time, a window was kicked open below the ship's deck.
Then, a head popped out.
The back of Ji Xun's head was facing the turbulent sea, his forehead was aimed at the boundless sky, and his eyes followed the white and smooth hull of the giant ship, climbing up bit by bit until he reached the deck railing that seemed out of reach in sight. A sigh of soul:
"How the hell are you going to get there!"
