Lu Chu pulled 7's generous palm on top of his head, interlocked his fingers, and looked at each other: "Go out, I want to go to the crime scene again."
7 naturally follow him.
So the two came to the deck of the cruise ship again.
The lights on the bow of the cruise ship were all turned on, and the deck was much brighter than before. At a glance, the dead lying on the side of the ship and sitting in a pool of blood could be seen at a glance.
Lu Chu was very concerned about the death of that person, and just now he suddenly appeared under that scene, and there was no time to think too much. Later, Ellie and a man came over, interrupting his thoughts even more. So when the rest of the crowd dispersed, Lu Chu became more and more concerned about the dead man whose legs had been split.
The security personnel invited by the cruise ship are all professional. They have seen the blood and licked the blade. At this time, seeing such a bloody and terrifying death scene, they still don’t change their expressions and their hearts beat. The scene of the crime was surrounded by a yellow police tape and the area was sealed off.
"I know you want to watch the death scene again." That's why 7 asked people to seal off the deceased's body and the area around him to prevent someone from destroying the crime scene.
Lu Chu's heart was touched.
7 Always like this, good at discovering everything about himself, but not speaking out, but paving the way for him, clearing away the difficulties beyond his own ability, but not limiting his ability, but guiding him to learn step in the right direction.
Lu Chu held Qi's hand tightly, and then let go after a while. He walked to the corpse and squatted down.
The last knife on the man whose legs were cut off was made up by Lu Chu.
At that time, the man was already tortured by pain and blood loss, and he could not be rescued. Even if Lu Chu is not begged by him to make up the knife, the man will die gradually, but the process is slow and painful, and it is better to cut it off with one knife, and be clean quickly.
While checking the man's wound, Lu Chu asked 7: "Ai Li said that this man is already the third person on the cruise ship who died unexpectedly. What happened to the first two people?"
It stands to reason that Lu Chu and 7 should have arrived at this round at the same time—to be precise, as soon as Lu Chu arrived, 7 would take advantage of his status as a "clearer" to follow his footsteps to reach the same round. But 7 often knows much more about each game than Lu Chu does.
The reason, on the one hand, is that these single-player dungeons have already been cleared; on the other hand, he is different from ordinary players-he can have the memory of the person he has become.
7 briefly stated the time and method of the first two victims: "The time of the first death was yesterday morning. A French lady was cut in her own room and died of bleeding. ; the time of death of the second deceased was at lunch time, the French gentleman, hanging himself in the room while everyone was panicking over the death of the first deceased."
Lu Chu listened, and nodded thoughtfully.
Thinking of some people whispering just now, Lu Chu asked again: "Are the first two victims lovers?"
Because when those people at the dinner party were chatting in a low voice in a panic, someone said that it had been confirmed that the cause of death of the two deceased was love murder.
7 nodded: "I heard that the two of them had a bad relationship the day before and had a quarrel."
So everyone simply understood that the man couldn't control his emotions and killed the woman, and then committed suicide in fear of crime.
"In this way, it makes sense to kill love." Lu Chu continued to analyze, "However, the death of those two people may have been accidental. Generally speaking, the important plots in the "game" are played after the player enters. It started, and the official death is also after the player arrives... "
Unable to make sense of the matter, Lu Chu simply let go of the doubts in his heart and continued to investigate the scene. Thinking so, Lu Chu would reach out to touch the corpse.
Seeing this, 7 took his hand in time.
Lu Chu looked at 7 without knowing why, and saw that he took out a pair of gloves from the pocket of his uniform jacket, and carefully put them on both of Lu Chu's hands, saying flatly, "Don't get your hands dirty."
Lu Chu smiled: "Just now I held the knife with my bare hands, and I gave him an end with my own hands."
7 Staring at him, stroking the broken hair on his temples: "That's because I'm not here."
Hearing this, Lu Chu couldn't stop the smile on his eyebrows, put on his gloves obediently, and bent down to continue to observe the corpse. Suddenly, Lu Chu froze in place. He opened his eyes to confirm what he saw, then reached under the body of the deceased and pulled out a strip of cloth written with a black oil-based pen.
The strip of cloth had been soaked thoroughly by the dark red blood, the original color could not be seen, but the Junxiu handwriting on it could still be clearly seen.
Looking at the words above, Lu Chu frowned and read out: "The hungry big cat will take its servants and devour everyone."
The word "big cat" is easy to understand, and it means tiger. Combined with the clues and hints of this game, the "servant" here should be "ghost". The ghost is the soul that becomes a servant of the tiger after being eaten by the tiger, luring others, especially the people you know well, to be eaten by the tiger.
At first, when Lu Chu saw the clues for this game, he thought he would really meet a tiger and a ghost. Now it seems that the "tiger" and "ghost" here may just be a reference—"tiger" " refers to the vicious and brutal murderer, and the "ghost" is the accomplice who became its slave after being murdered by the "tiger", used by it, and helped it find targets for torture.
Thinking about it this way, there may be more than one ghost.
In this way, according to Lu Chu's assumption, if you want to complete the "survival" mission, you should find out the real murderer and accomplices, and kill them first before they attack you.
Lu Chu told 7 his thoughts.
After finishing speaking, Lu Chu added: "However, I can't be sure. The information is not complete at present. I always feel that I have missed some things."
"No hurry." 7 took the cloth strip in his hand and handed it to the security personnel beside him, then helped him take off his gloves and wiped his fingers clean, "Investigate the truth of the matter at your own pace."
Lu Chu was embarrassed by his actions, his face was slightly drunk, his eyes shyly dodged and looked elsewhere, so he had to change the subject to distract himself: "What should I do with this corpse?"
Now that he has finished searching, if the corpse continues to be sealed off, preventing others from viewing it and not moving its location, it is likely that it will stink and become infested with insects in a few days. At that time, it will not be a good sight either visually or olfactorily.
"We can't let him rot here." Lu Chu worried.
7 said: "Just dispose of it."
"Wait..." Lu Chu pondered, biting his pale lower lip, "How many people are on this cruise ship?"
7 stared darkly at Lu Chu's reddish lower lip bitten by himself, and replied: "Including me, there are a total of 543 crew members; including the three deceased, there are a total of 2132 passengers."
It really is a luxury cruise ship, Lu Chu thought in his heart.
Later, Lu Chu put forward his suggestion: "Since there are so many people on board, there should be policemen, detectives, forensic doctors, etc. who are interested in the case or can help. We can ask , to see if anyone is willing to solve the puzzle together and catch the murderer."
7 Hearing this, he beckoned to several crew members and ordered them to ask if there were any people with the above occupations who were willing to help.
After the crew left, it was finally considered a temporary completion, and then Lu Chu looked at the cabin of the cruise ship again.
Seeing that he was a little curious, 7 pointed to each floor of the cabin of the cruise ship and explained: "As soon as you enter here is the banquet hall, you just saw it. There are high-end restaurants and various high-end entertainment venues beside the banquet hall, and at the end is the residence of the captain and crew. The lower two floors are common rooms, restaurants and other places, and the bottom is the cargo warehouse. The upper two floors are high-end residences and luxury suites, equipped with on-board swimming pools.”
Lu Chu heard that he took out his room card from himself, and looked at the numbers on it, and knew that his room should be on the upper floor.
7 took Lu Chu's room card and took his right hand: "I'll take you to your room."
Lu Chu followed his strength and let him pull him to the upper deck of the cruise ship, where the luxurious small suites on the cruise ship were. Cruise ships are not like buildings on the ground, so they don’t have enough space. Ordinary rooms can be filled with only beds or the like. Luxury suites are larger, and there are only a few of them. The price is extremely expensive, and it is not affordable for ordinary people.
Lu Chu's identity is probably a rich and powerful person.
However, in this situation, floating on a ship in the boundless blue sea, when the crisis comes, having money or power does not give him any benefits.
7 pulled Lu Chu to go up, but did not stop at the floor of Hao's suite, and opened a small compartment that needed fingerprint and iris to unlock, and inside was a staircase that continued to go up.
Lu Chu looked at the number in front of the door of the nearby room, then lowered his head and glanced at his own room number, making sure that his room should be nearby, so he asked, "Where are we going?"
"On the top floor of the cruise ship, the captain's exclusive lounge."
Lu Chu was surprised: "Aren't you going to my room?"
7 took Lu Chu's hand and walked up, looked ahead, and raised the corners of his lips: "Captain Shen's room is Mr. Lu's room."
Hearing this, Lu Chu's ears felt hot, and his heart was warm. Without saying a word, he let 7 lead him to the captain's special lounge.
7 recognized the fingerprint and iris again and entered the house, Lu Chu curiously wanted to probe to see what was going on inside. However, as soon as he stepped into the door, before he could clearly see the structure and layout of the room in front of him, he was directly pressed against the door panel, and at random, a tall and handsome figure pressed down.
With a sense of restraint and cherishment, 7 gently kissed Lu Chu's side neck: "I'm here for two hours, five minutes and sixteen seconds."
Lu Chu wrapped his arms around his broad back, and hugged his head lightly leaning on his shoulder with the other, with a puzzled tone: "Huh?"
"You go back to the 'rules,' we don't have time together."
7 Wrapped Lu Chu's whole body into his arms, buried his head in the crescent of his neck, breathed in his warm breath like the morning sun, and said in a deep voice, "I miss you."
