sincerity of lies

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the three of them waited for 10 minutes, but there was still no movement above.

Just in case, they waited an additional 5 minutes, but there was still no movement.

A total of 15 minutes before and after, if there is a ghost in this ship, if the ghost really accidentally put the microphone on the ground to make a sound, then the 15-minute gap is enough for the ghost to parkour back and forth on the boat five times.

"What's going on?" Ji Xun said.

The other two couldn't answer him.Huo Ranyin went up to the second floor from the kitchen alone, and from the western restaurant, he took a look at the corridor where the bodyguards were.Then he came down again and recounted what he saw:

"All the bodyguards came out and were concentrated in the hallway, but there was no sign of them coming down."

what's going on.

The movement they made was useful, but not completely useful?

The three were lost in thought.

After a brief silence, Huo Ranyin said, "It doesn't make sense."

"Ok?"

"Since I have thought of a way to contact the outside world, it will be fine to contact the outside world after the heavy rain outside stops. Once we are connected, nothing can be done. You can even call a hundred people with a hundred submachine guns to sweep this ship Every corner of the ship. In this case, what is the purpose of sending someone out to see if you hear any movement?" Huo Ranyin said, "If you take action, give it a chance; if you don't take action, keep peace."

This analysis is very reasonable, and it is completely in line with Mr. Liu's cautious character-he is a man who throws all the stored guns into the sea in order to prevent the enemy from getting the guns.

But unfortunately, actions that are in the interests of Mr. Liu must not be in their interests.

Once Mr. Liu delays this period of time and gets in touch with the outside world, their situation will be very bad.

"Mr. Liu must be forced to come down." Ji Xun said.He was about to continue his analysis when another person spoke.

"guest."

Meng Lingshan looked at Huo Ranyin and said:

"All the guests who are herded into the room are on the verge of collapse. If our next movement is aimed at them-such as throwing something at their window, then they will definitely knock on the door for help. We give the guests Putting pressure on Mr. Liu, the guests put pressure on Mr. Liu. Now that the issue of survival is no longer urgent, other issues have surfaced again: such as Mr. Liu's reputation and the reputation of this evil ship."

Of course Meng Lingshan was right.

But isn't Meng Lingshan the most annoying to say long strings of words?Why all of a sudden—

Ji Xun, who was robbed of the conversation, glanced around twice between Meng Lingshan and Huo Ranyin, and realized:

Meng Lingshan was upset that Huo Ran was belittling him.

So take the initiative to join the chat, prove yourself, and even break the habit a little bit.

In short, a man's desire to win is really scary...

Ji Xun secretly felt emotional, so he had no choice but to follow up with Meng Lingshan and say: "You are all right...so be it!"

So the next task became to interfere with the guests on the second floor, so without thinking too much, the other two focused their attention on the gun in Ji Xun's hand.

As long as a piece of glass is broken with a gun, its interference effect on guests will be pulled to 100% immediately.

They studied the layout of the room below, avoiding the crew's room, then Ji Xun squinted and shot:

"Bang—wow—"

The previous shot was almost silent, but this gun, probably all the guns here, has a silencer installed.Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of shattering glass, even in a stormy night, it was extraordinarily abrupt.

The floor-to-ceiling window that Ji Xun chose, no, not only that floor-to-ceiling window, but the room behind the floor-to-ceiling window and several French windows on the left and right were shocked.

It didn't take long for Ji Xun to hear the commotion from above clearly.

First a voice cried, "My window is broken!—"

It was the voice of Boss Ponytail, Huo Ranyin recognized it, and he told the other two.

"It's a gun! It's a gun! I saw the bullet!" Ponytail boss was yelling, his voice was like a string pulled to the extreme, as long as a little bit of force is applied, even if a feather falls on the Above, it is doubtful that it will break directly, "The ghost is shooting into my room, he wants to kill me!"

"Mr. Liu, the ghost is here, the ghost is here!"

His voice pierced through the rain for a long time in the dark night.

Except for his voice, the surroundings are quiet. The bosses and crew members who were just startled by the sound of shattering glass are quiet now, like the weakest animals surrounded by heavy rain and waves The same, only dare to curl up under the eaves that can also shelter from the wind and rain, rustling silently.

As long as the ghost... as long as the murderer... doesn't notice me.Then I am safe.

Safe for the time being at least.

They probably think so.

That's fine, it wasn't Ji Xun's three people's original intention to scare the bosses. Putting aside the interference factors, they could concentrate more on collecting the reactions of Mr. Liu and his bodyguards.

"Bang bang bang!"

Boss Ponytail is knocking on the door.

"I want to go out!"

He yelled like a madman.

"No—"

At this time, there was finally a voice in the wind and rain.Huo Ranyin heard it, and he relayed it to the other two.

"You guys come in!"

"No—"

"Someone is going to kill me, did you hear that, the ghost is going to kill me! The ghost is lurking in this room, they are going to kill me, you have to protect me!"

"No—"

"Only no, no what! My door, I can open it! No, it's not the ghost who wants to kill me, it's you who wants to kill me—"

Then, suddenly, they heard half howling, half screaming.

Then came the sound of wind, thunder, and rain.

No more vocals.

This is what the three of them were not prepared for.

What happened to the ponytail boss upstairs who was crying and fussing?A kind of speculation appeared in the minds of the three of them, which made the three of them feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a weight.

"I'll go up and have a look." Meng Lingshan said suddenly, and then disappeared into the shadows.

Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin waited in place for a while, and it didn't take long, about two to three minutes, Meng Lingshan came back again.His face was a little heavy, but not tense.

He simply said: "Boss Ponytail was shot. The gun hit his leg. Basic bandaging was done to stop the bleeding. So far, his life is not in danger."

The worst possibility has been ruled out, at least no one died.

Both Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin breathed a sigh of relief.

"But it also means—" Meng Lingshan continued, "we can't do anything anymore. No matter what we do, it is impossible for Mr. Liu to send someone down to check. He made up his mind in the corridor on the second floor Squat until the wind and rain are over."

As long as Mr. Liu stands still, they have nothing to do.

The weapons in their hands were not enough to confront eight bodyguards with guns in an open space.

Silence surrounded them for a moment.

Could it be that we can only procrastinate according to Mr. Liu's idea?

Ji Xun looked at the dark, raining sky, it was like the torrential rain from the Ganges River in the sky, how long can it last?

"Now there is only one way left." Huo Ranyin said suddenly.

any solution?When Ji Xun was still thinking about this question, he noticed that Meng Lingshan's eyes moved, and he realized that Meng Lingshan had realized what Huo Ranyin was talking about.

From when Huo Ranyin opened his mouth to when Meng Lingshan understood, is there a second?

Hey, do you need such a tacit understanding?strange!

Ji Xun protested in his heart, but of course he didn't say it out loud. This kind of protest seemed a little unreasonable... In fact, he felt that he also understood Huo Ranyin's meaning, but this understanding has not yet been interpreted by his brain...

Ji Xun found that these two people were looking at him.

Two burning eyes stared at him like fire.

"You..." Ji Xun, "What's wrong?"

"There is another way." Huo Ranyin said.

"It's very simple." Meng Lingshan said.

"You are good at it." Huo Ranyin.

"I've played countless times since I was in school." Meng Lingshan said.

"Find out the case." The two said together, and after finishing speaking, they disliked that their voices overlapped with each other's.

"..."

"Obviously," Huo Ranyin said, "the one who placed the signal jammer on the ship was the murderer who killed one after another. We don't know who the murderer is, but it is enough to confirm that the murderer is staying in one of the rooms on the second floor at this moment As long as we solve the case, we will find the murderer, and then find the signal jammer, and we will be able to contact the police before Mr. Liu."

"Meow meow meow meow."

"It's no use pretending to be a cat."

"...Don't be ridiculous." Ji Xun was powerless to complain, "Is this something that can be broken? There is no trace inspection, no technical analysis, no scientific props for us to use to help identify, time card It's so tight, and there are so many others—except for Mr. Liu, everyone on the second floor is a suspect!"

"Are there a lot of 21 suspects?" Huo Ranyin asked him back, "Some of them can be easily ruled out."

"Although you say so..."

"When we discussed cleaning up the bodyguards, you were pushing back and forth." Huo Ranyin pointed out lightly.

"Pushing three blocks four can be used like this..."

"You can't do it?" Huo Ranyin asked directly.

"I—" Ji Xun took a deep breath, "I can do it!"

"very good."

Huo Ranyin finally gave Ji Xun a smile.
