Miss Moriarty wants to save Mihua Town today too

I asked everyone to familiarize themselves with the script again, and try to perform in private. After Kakutani Hiroki finished speaking, Chikako Ikeda also announced the end of today's filming.

Since the time is limited to the night, and the day is very tiring, this is also an appropriate arrangement.

Just when Ryoichi Takahashi was about to put the weapon back on the armor——

"Ah...ah!"

His terrified cry resounded throughout the space.

……

ps: I owe 21...

113 True and False Knights ([-])

Ryoichi Takahashi paced back and forth, slumped on the ground, still muttering about blood and human heads.

He was so frightened that he could not speak coherently, and everyone hurried over.

Ota Katsuki didn't take it seriously at first, he approached the armor, opened the semi-solid mask, and then saw a pair of terrified, tarnished eyes, he was also frightened, ran back quickly, and then he grabbed Ryoichi Takahashi's With a broad mind, he asked him: "Is it a prop you brought to scare people?"

Takahashi Ryo shook his head.Winnet also followed. She carefully confirmed that under the mask, it was indeed a human head. It must be the head of the killed Baron Arman.The murderer might have found a handy weapon in this room, and then placed the severed head in these armors, but how to ensure that it will not be discovered?Or, was the murderer's intention from the beginning to let it be discovered?

"This is a real human head." Winnet said precisely, in the current situation, it is impossible to continue to hide the daytime events.

Sophia's proud face couldn't hold back any longer, and she blurted out and asked, "Human, human head!?"

The rest of them tried their best not to scream, and retreated tacitly. Only Clyde and Shirley came up to meet them, and the former showed a considerable sense of discomfort.

"Head..." Clyde was silent for a while.Shirley stared at him, and she thought he might know something, because there was disbelief on his face.Shirley looked at him and asked, "Do you know this person?"

"No, I just think he's kind of a human being."

Shirley looked at this face carefully, and she also felt that it was a bit familiar, "Does he look a little like Otis?"

"I'm not sure," Clyde said. "The last time we saw each other was ten years ago. I was just a brat, but he was a sanctimonious hypocrite, just like the guy at the party. Maybe they looked a little bit different." Similar, but he is still alive and well, this should be the Baron Arman."

Winnet was curious about the conclusion he had drawn.

"How do you judge?"

"He's got a neat beard and he keeps it neat," Clyde said. "It's traditional for some people, and he probably is too."

Winnett nodded. His judgment was reasonable. A person with a beard and well-maintained face was unlikely to be a reporter who lived abroad all the year round, even though the two looked somewhat similar.

Then, she saw Shirley borrowing gloves from Clyde, she opened the eyelids of the human head, and took a closer look.

"It seems that the time of death is about the same as that of the corpse, basically the same person," Shirley said, "It's good news, it's not a new victim."

Winnet removed the head of the armor, and saw that the human head was a bit tough when it was stuffed in.

"Is it really a human head?" Ota Katsuki still couldn't believe it.

"Well, if you must, sir," said Winette, "but hurry up. We'll have to discuss it with Uncle Edward."

Winnet showed the head to Katsuo Ota, who was so frightened that he almost knocked off the head.

"Hiss!" He gasped, "What is this! Ah, didn't it just say that a person died of taking medicine? The whole head was cut off, how is this possible? Does anyone know him...know this gentleman ?”

"No one knows," Winnet replies coldly, disliking his loudness, "so we have to ask Uncle Edward to confirm."

Shirley feels that Winnet's attitude is too unnatural, which will make people associate with her for no reason, and even think that she is a cruel person.Well, in fact, it is true that Winnet and Mercy are too far apart.It seemed to her that Winnet was like a judge sitting in an assizes court, with stern eyes.

"Mr. Ota, you'd better protect the ladies, it's better to send them back to the room." Winnet suggested.

Even though she didn't want to leave the guy alone, several of the ladies in the room were pretty freaked out.Before they left, Winnet specifically asked: "Please don't publicize this matter, it may cause riots."

Winette believes that even if there is no riot, the murderer cannot be stopped, but the riot will make the judgment of the case more complicated.Reducing the prisoner's advantages to a single category can effectively increase the probability of the prisoner making mistakes.

When Winnet finished speaking, Shirley poked her stomach.

"Do you know what time it is? If you plan to stay up until tomorrow morning, I won't accompany you to the end."

"Well, Shirley, go back to sleep—I'll sort out the situation a little bit. Let Uncle Edward confirm who this person is. If it is indeed the Baron Arman who has never appeared before, the direction of investigation will be much clearer. Hmm , I hope the police who come tomorrow will be smarter, and we don't need to focus on this matter."

Shirley nodded coldly.Winnet obviously didn't want to involve her too deeply, but Winnet did the right thing.If she had the key information about the murderer, it might not be the murderer's original target who was targeted.A crazy guy, no one can guarantee that he won't shoot innocent people.

"Well," Shirley said, "you'd better start right away."

"I will, I'll be back in a moment."

She frowned and said, "Really? Then remember to be punctual."

Winnet smiled wryly. It seemed that Shirley still cared about her previous mission.

Winnett left the lounge, which was forced to entertain guests, and went out along the corridor. Clyde followed her, expressing that he was also very concerned about this matter and wanted to know the result as soon as possible.He also knew where Edward's room was and guided Winnet to the destination.

Winnet stopped outside the door.She knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

"What's going on?" She was puzzled, "Did Uncle Edward say he was going back to his room?"

"Yes, when he left, he was a little listless."

Winnet didn't find it strange, because Burgundy made an omission in this matter and allowed a murderer to board the ship, triggering a series of cases, which is equivalent to focusing the attention of the police on this matter, and placing it in the economic circle as an organization. This is a kind of gaffe.

Regarding his style of work, Winnett has always heard that he is meticulous, strict but willing to do charity, and his reputation outside is probably good.This time, it also reached a cooperation with Japan's top Suzuki consortium to build a park integrating amusement parks and resorts; the Durant Group is responsible for providing luxury goods such as yachts and competitive jets, as well as some infrastructure.

While they were waiting in front of the door, there was a sound from the other side of the corridor. It was Edward who came, with a gloomy face and a pistol in his hand.

"You guys, why are you here?"

he asked.

……

114 True and False Knights ([-])

"We found the head of the headless corpse," Winnet said, grabbing the armor's head, which was stuck inside.

She lifted the mask. "Uncle Edward, do you recognize this man?"

Seeing the head, Edward was startled.Winnet felt that what frightened him was not the blood-stained head itself, but the face of the head.

"Albert? How could it be Albert!" Edward saw this head, and immediately thought of the young man who had just emerged not long ago.Always wearing a tweed suit, white and clean man.Albert inherited his father's shareholder status five years ago, and he also came to this banquet.

"Damn, I should have checked everyone before the guests left!"

Sure enough, this head did not belong to Baron Arman.

Winnet once again speculated about the murderer's trick. The reason why the head was cut off was to prevent others from identifying the identity of the deceased.If you think about it this way, the situation in the room at that time may have changed——

The murderer was none other than this ghostly Baron Arman.

He probably invited the young man named Albert to the room.Because Albert planned to be decapitated from the beginning, he didn't make any preparations for entertaining guests.Judging from the situation at that time, the distance between the low table and the sofa has obviously changed, as if it was specially made to make room.Winnet simulated the situation in her mind at that time, and found that the direction of the blood spatter was towards the side of the door.

She looked at Edward with a calm look, and hinted with her lips.

Seeing this, Edward quickly adjusted his heartbeat so that he would not look so groggy.He quickly explained the identity of the deceased: "His name is Albert, and he is also one of the shareholders. He should have attended this banquet. I should have confirmed that everyone present was present, but I was negligent. I didn't Baron Arman is not alone in thinking of having his head cut off."

Winnet closed the visor of the hideous head. "Uncle Edward, there is nothing we can do about it. Now, what we should do is to prevent further casualties."

She said so, but she didn't mean to save these people in her heart.Judging from the attitude of the people around him towards Stanley's death, he is not a respectable person.What's more, in the leisure hall at that time, people had already started talking with red wine glasses, and began to distribute new benefits, just like a demon that eats souls.Before that, Stanley and Albert were also part of this group.

A wealthy person is more likely to be resented than an ordinary person.

Winnett had heard a saying that cutting off the head and piercing the heart was the way to destroy the devil. Maybe the murderer thought he was just.

And a person who thinks he is just is almost crazy when he implements the justice he believes in.

She is more interested in this murderer, and he may bring her more surprises.

"Mr. Edward, this is unbelievable." Clyde on the side couldn't bear it anymore, his expression seemed to be tortured, "Aside from this head, are there other people who were beheaded and killed?"

"Yes, the heir of Baron Arman, the new Baron Arman. But I haven't seen him yet," Edward was in a bad mood, and even spoke with a French accent, "Let us pray for the dead, and hope the police We can catch the murderer quickly."

"The police?" Clyde looked disdainful, "They are all a group of incompetent guys. By the time they investigate the clues, this trip will probably be over long ago. And then ten years later, there will be 'suspicious clouds at sea' on the news again." The headlines, showing some synthetic pictures to the public! The funniest thing is that they completely rely on the private detectives hired by the authorities to solve the case - it all depends on the detective's level!"

Edward ignored the argument to stop Clyde.

"Anyway," he shouted with a mellow Parisian accent, "we'll wait until they arrive! No matter how brutal the criminal is, it's hard to commit crimes under the nose of the police."

Winnet almost thought Burgundy was telling a joke.

As far as their organization was concerned, she felt that her gang ignored the police at all.

Although Edward also wanted to solve the case quickly, after leaving the waters of Canada, I am afraid it will be another process of kicking the ball until the Japanese police intervene.It didn't bode well for him, because the organization was about to launch an operation in Japan, and he was asked to cooperate with the investigation as soon as he came up. There is nothing worse than this.

"Okay, sir, if you insist on this." Clyde spread his hands.

"By the way, you were holding a pistol when you came." Winnet asked, "Did something happen again?"

"Carter told me just now that he saw a shadow in armor walking around, holding a cold weapon in his hand..."

Edward described the color of the lower armor, and the types of weapons.

"Sir, it should be me that Butler Carter is looking at. We were filming a short film at the time and needed a suitor in armor." Clyde explained, he told him that he got used to running in the corridor halfway, "I happened to be holding a short blade. Although I didn't see Butler Carter, he must have seen my shadow stretched to the fork."

There is still a long process of filming, and now it is not the turn of the armor chaser to appear on the stage. He is just practicing and proficient in the armor he wears to make the movements as smooth as possible.

Winnet didn't think there was any problem either. She also received "tactful advice" just now because her expression was not expressive enough. Judging from Chikako Ikeda's request, it's not surprising that Clyde would practice wearing armor. .

Although the members of the Film Research Institute are only Suzuki Ayako's friends, they are still students of excellent universities in Japan, and there may be directors and screenwriters in the future.

"So it is."

Edward also felt a little suspicious, how could the murderer move in armor?Not to mention the inconvenience of movement, once witnessed, the case can basically be declared closed.

Alas, probably because I am getting old.

Edward sighed psychologically, and then he heard Winnett's question again.

"This Mr. Albert probably didn't go there alone, do you know who is on board with him?"

"I'll ask Carter."

Edward made the phone call.

Winnet also noticed that there is a signal in this sea area.That is to say, if the murderer used some remote means to interrupt the circuit, it would not be a problem at all, even if he was deep in the banquet at that time.

More than that, judging from the fact that Otis met Arman during the day, "Arman" at least once existed, but his identity was replaced by someone.

Of course, there is another possibility that Otis is lying.

Unraveling the fog bit by bit from subtle evidence is not what she is good at, although she has played some puzzle games; planning the layout from an omniscient perspective is what he is good at. Also interested.

"On the record, Albert brought a friend with him. But before the ship started, his friend seemed to be in an emergency and hurried off the ship. Carter confirmed this to the staff."

……

115 True and False Knights ([-])

A friend, and another guy no one knows about.

Winnett is basically sure that this is a far-reaching conspiracy. The murderer and these dead people have connections that are unknown to outsiders. It is difficult for others to completely see through the prisoner's trajectory.

She prayed in the tone of a priest, and said to Edward: "Now we can only wait for the police to arrive. At that time, we will call all the passengers, investigate and find out the people with questionable identities. Uncle Edward, you think the same way, Right?"

"Well, Winnet." He called her by name, to preserve the perception of intimacy between them.

Edward felt that this was not enough concern, and he said, "Maybe you need a pistol for self-defense? I don't know when this prisoner will make another move. I'm really sorry for letting you go through an unpleasant journey. And Clyde, I Feel ashamed."

Clyde shook his head, encouraging Edward. "I believe everything will be fine, and I will send Miss Moriarty back to her room."

He glanced at Winnet with a smile.

Winnet smiled and said lightly, "Then please trouble Mr. Clyde."

"It was an honor to escort a beautiful lady."

She would have liked to tell him that she didn't need an escort, but that would have made things difficult, and as a clergyman she tried to avoid such things as much as possible. "You are too kind," she said, trying to keep her tone of geniality and humor.

If Shirley noticed it when she opened the door, maybe she would take a fancy to it.

Winnet thought for a moment, this is not impossible.However, there is a high probability that Shirley will not explain it publicly, which will make the atmosphere uncomfortable and last all night.

However, the joyful part of her heart made her want to see Shirley eating.As for the consequences, never mind!
