In an instant, at least a dozen ways of dealing with the situation emerged in Tianyang's mind, but he adopted a countermeasure that he would never normally adopt.
He cried out softly, and stepped back in a panic, but he was tripped by something and fell on his back to the ground. Although he was in a mess, he avoided the blow that was going to his throat.
Outside the door, Xiangling, who had black hair and red eyes, saw a figure rushing out of the room. It was a person wrapped in a black cloak, and even had a mask on his face, making it impossible to tell his gender.
The man flew away with a whoosh and disappeared into the passage in the blink of an eye. Xiangling glanced at Tianyang who had fallen to the ground, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but it quickly disappeared. She hurried forward and asked.
"Mr. Tianyang, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Tianyang climbed up and said, "You'd better not come in. I'll go in and see what happened."
"Then you have to be careful." Xiangling said, and then stepped back.
Tianyang could see the scene in the room clearly now. Under the light, it was not difficult to see that the second-class cabin was much smaller than the first-class cabin. The only advantage of this kind of room was that it had a window. The third-class cabin did not even have a window, and the conditions were even worse.
There is a bathroom at the entrance to the second class cabin, which is connected to the toilet but there is no toilet.
The bathrooms in second-class cabins are usually shared, with one bathroom for every four rooms.
After the bathroom and toilet, there is a small room. There is no living room and master bedroom in the second-class cabin.
It's just one room with a bed, a table and chairs, and a small wardrobe.
On that bed, there was a female corpse lying, whose figure was similar to Li Lin's.
The female corpse was tied to the bed, her body was covered in blood and her face was scratched, so she was unrecognizable.
Furthermore, there was a large wound on the abdomen of the corpse, and the internal organs were almost all missing because they were placed on the table next to it.
It can be seen that the murderer is extremely cruel. He also wrote a line of words on the wall with blood: Don't meddle in other people's business!
This was clearly a threat and warning directed at Tianyang and his guards.
So, the person on the bed is...
Tianyang looked at the unrecognizable corpse with a deep gaze. After a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Not long after.
The ship's first mate arrived, the body was disposed of, the guests in the nearby cabins were moved to other rooms, and the place was temporarily blocked off.
Later, Chen Dubu also hurried over, and with him came Qin Wangshu. When they arrived at the scene, Qin Wangshu talked to the first mate aside, hoping that the Poseidon could provide surveillance video near the crime scene.
The first mate naturally agreed to this and promised to help Qin Wangshu find the murderer.
"Is it Li Lin?"
Chen Dubu walked into the room, looked at the bed with a large pool of blood on it, clenched his fists and spoke in a low voice.
Tian Yang sighed and said, "It should be correct. Although the face has been scratched and cannot be seen, the figure and clothing are consistent with Miss Li's characteristics."
"The murderer is so cruel. It can be seen that Miss Li must have suffered inhuman torture before her death. Mr. Chen, we must avenge Miss Li!"
Chen Dubu snorted: "Of course, but now that Miss Li is gone, we have to be more careful next time."
Tianyang nodded upon hearing this.
After the two came out of the room, Chen Dubu said, "You go back and rest first, and come back to take over my shift tomorrow.
. "
Tianyang readily agreed to the suggestion.
After returning to the room, he told Yue Guang about this. When Yue Guang heard that he had actually fallen to the ground, she looked at him in disbelief: "What on earth are you up to?"
"I just suddenly had a guess, so..." Tianyang squinted his eyes and gave her a 'you know' look.
"Whatever you guess won't stop you from catching the murderer. You've already bumped into him, but you let him go. Did you do it on purpose? I'm telling you, this is called slacking off. Be careful that Qin Wangshu won't pay you."
Tian Yang asked back: "How do you know that must be the murderer? How do you know there is only one murderer? Judging from the situation at the time, after killing Li Lin, the murderer had plenty of time to escape. Even if he didn't have time, why didn't he leave through the window, but broke out of the door?"
"Doesn't he know that there are surveillance devices in the passage outside the door? Is he a fool?"
Yue Guang crossed her arms over her chest and pondered, "Hearing what you said, could it be that... he is testing you?"
"This is the most reasonable explanation. He wants to find out my strength so that he can formulate some countermeasures."
"Also, why did the murderer dare to take such a bold step? Wasn't he worried about being caught? Judging from all the signs, this man should not be a reckless person, so I guess there must be accomplices nearby at the time, and someone to support him."
"So I let him go. If I catch him hastily, it will only alert the enemy."
"And now, in their eyes, I am probably just a weak guy who is just there to make up the numbers."
Moonlight said disapprovingly, "Have you forgotten that you showed off your skills not long ago and helped the Poseidon to deal with those evil gods? If they are interested, they only need to ask around and they will know that you are just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger."
Tian Yang shook his head calmly: "Have you forgotten how Qin Wangshu found me? She knew me through the captain. Moreover, her request was not to protect her until she got off the ship, but to find the murderer."
"In this case, the guard's information must be kept confidential, otherwise the murderer will not take action. If the murderer does not take action, it will be difficult to catch him."
"I think Qin Wangshu is able to become the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and prevent the Poseidon from revealing my affairs. He must have some brains."
Tian Yang stood up and said, "The other party probably doesn't know my background, so they are testing me. And from this incident, it seems that they are going to take action against Qin Wangshu, probably in the next one or two days."
After saying that, he walked into the bedroom, closed the door, and snapped his fingers to open the 'Gap Door'.
Arriving at the drifting town, Tianyang searched for a while and finally found a box.
Tianyang opened it and found an earring in the box.
Thousand-faced earrings!
Ever since he used this relic to disrupt an operation of 'Wuying' during the last expedition against the world, he has kept it hidden and has not used it.
Today, it finally comes in handy.
After Li Lin's death, Qin Wangshu stopped all outings for the next two days and spent every day in the first-class cabin. As for the daily food, it was prepared directly in the first-class cabin by the chef sent by the restaurant.
Since Li Lin was missing, Tian Yang had to do her share as well.
He had to protect Qin Wangshu from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, and then hand over to Chen Dubu.
At noon that day, the chef was preparing food. Tianyang and Qin Wangshu were waiting to eat when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
.
Xiangling went to open the door and brought in the captain's first mate. The bearded man shouted, "Miss Qin, we have found something!"
Qin Wangshu looked at him and asked, "What did you find?"
"murderer!"
The first mate said forcefully, "After two days of investigation, we have identified a passenger in the third class cabin. He is very likely the murderer."
Qin Wangshu immediately looked towards Tianyang.
Tian Yang pondered and said, "We must be careful not to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Let Xiang Ling inform Chen Lao and ask him to go and take a look with the first mate."
"That's it."
Qin Wangshu turned to Xiangling and said, "Go and inform Mr. Chen."
Then he said to the first mate, "Please go with Xiangling."
"good."
Xiangling and the first mate left in a hurry, and Tianyang stood up and said, "Miss Qin, let's not eat for now, let's go back to the house."
"Listen to you."
Qin Wangshu told the chef to prepare the food and send it to the room, and then went back to the room with Tianyang.
After a while, the food was ready. An apprentice was about to deliver it, but the red-faced chef said, "No need, I'll deliver it. You guys pack up and leave first."
After all, Qin Wangshu is the chairman of the Golden Mint Chamber of Commerce, and even the captain of the "Poseidon" has to be respectful to her. Seeing that their master wants to curry favor with others, the apprentices don't find it surprising.
The square-faced chef pushed a food delivery cart to the door of Qin Wangshu's bedroom and knocked.
The door opened a crack, and the chef saw the guard with silver hair looking out from the door and then opening the door completely.
When the chef pushed the food cart in, he saw Qin Wangshu standing at the window. He didn't know what he was thinking about.
Then he heard the guard say, "Just leave the dining cart behind, you can go out first."
"OK."
The chef said, loosening his hand and turning away.
The square-faced chef raised his head and looked towards the door. He rubbed the ring on his little finger, and a deep black light suddenly lit up in the ring that looked like a black gem.
Invisible waves flooded the room like a tide, then quickly rose and converged on the ceiling, forming a 'sealed space' that isolated the inside and the outside.
From this moment on, no one outside will know what happens in the room!
The silver-haired guard finally noticed something. He turned around quickly and rushed towards the chef without saying a word.
The square-faced chef sneered. He had known that this silver-haired guard was a useless person. He was smart but not very strong. He was only at level 4 at most.
He turned around calmly, and suddenly his star energy burst out and he pounced towards the silver-haired guard.
The two sides collided fiercely, making a sound like thunder. The silver-haired guard was knocked back and vomited blood, hitting the wall. Before he could make any move, the square-faced chef had already strode over, his right hand was covered with fighting spirit, and the arm suddenly became extremely hard.
With a hissing sound, the arm covered with fighting spirit pierced into the silver-haired guard's stomach and with a sudden pull, all his internal organs and intestines were pulled out.
The chef looked at the silver-haired guard with a grim smile and an unwilling look on his face, but fell to the ground helplessly.
He casually wiped the blood on his apron, turned and walked towards Qin Wangshu, who was so scared that his legs were weak and his face was pale.
Finally, Qin Wangshu let out a scream, but the sound was "trapped" in this room.
