More than 2,000 people on and off the ship fell into panic in an instant.
Everyone was terrified and speculated that the cruise ship's navigation would be broken, was it because of the murderer? Why did the murderer kill the victim, out of hatred, or just for sadistic pleasure? If it's the latter, aren't they also very dangerous...
Lu Chu already thought that the passengers and crew on the ship would definitely fall into panic and panic, but if they were allowed to continue to be afraid, wouldn't it be in the hands of the murderer.
So, after 7 finished speaking, Lu Chu then leaned over to the microphone, and said slowly in a warm voice like a spring: "Please calm down, don't panic, and don't be too suspicious of each other. Before finding the murderer, except Everyone should try not to go out of their rooms during the meal. After a while, we will check the crew and passengers of the ship one by one, so as to search for evidence and find out the murderer. Please cooperate at that time.”
After finishing speaking, Lu Chu repeated the notifications from 7 on both sides and himself, and then turned off the radio.
After finishing all this, Lu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and said to 7: "Come on, let's check the crew and passengers."
7 Hearing this, he took out a set of clean crew uniforms from the cabinet next to him, and handed them to Lu Chu: "Put on this, it will be more convenient to investigate together."
Lu Chu smiled: "Okay, Captain Shen is thoughtful."
7 rubbed the top of his hair.
After Lu Chu changed his clothes, he found that the size of the clothes was just right, as if it was tailor-made for him. The comfortable and soft fabric was close to the body, outlining the smooth lines of the body. Lu Chu's body proportions are excellent, and his waist is thinner than ordinary people. Wearing this uniform at this time, he looks slender, tall and straight, very good-looking.
7 looked at him, a dark light flashed in the bottom of his eyes, but he suppressed it in an instant.
"It fits very well." 7 Chen Zan.
Lu Chu smiled and shook his head: "You chose well."
"Okay, everything is ready." Lu Chu continued, "Let's go, more than 2,000 people, check carefully one by one, and we don't know when we will go to check."
7 nodded: "Well, let's start with the crew investigation."
Lu Chu agreed: "The crew are our own. If the murderer is among these people, things will become quite troublesome and dangerous."
So, the two gathered all the crew members, searched them one by one, and then went to their lounge to continue the search—and found no possible crime tools.
After completing this step, it was already night.
Halfway through, black clouds approached in the distance, and indeed it began to rain heavily.
The cruise ship swayed with the wind and waves, and the crew got busy. Everyone stayed in their rooms, watching the lightning and thunder outside, the strong wind, and feeling the swing of the ship with the wind and waves, and their mood fell into unprecedented depression.
Because there were too many passengers, when searching the passengers, Lu Chu and Qi selected a few people from the crew to conduct the search together, so the speed was a little faster, but they didn't go there too fast. Passengers in the ordinary area are fine, but some passengers in the VIP area are not very cooperative, claiming that they are absolutely innocent and do not need to be investigated. After several times of such tossing, by the time all passengers have been investigated, it is already early morning of the next day.
Lu Chu followed 7 and the crew to check everyone on board, from the crew to the passengers, without missing anything. With his olfactory memory ability far superior to that of ordinary people, he roughly remembered the unique smell of everyone, so that when he met the victim later, he could identify the murderer from the smell.
This is actually the most important intention of their investigation.
If the murderer in a certain game can really be found through means such as "search", then this dungeon would be great.
The "rules" are wise and regular and will not allow such things to happen. Therefore, the most important thing in this search is not to find out the murderer, but to give Lu Chu a chance to remember everyone's aura. It is impossible for the murderer to stop killing for fun. People will be killed one after another. At that time, Lu Chu's ability will come in handy.
However, this time Lu Chu's ability encountered a bottleneck.
In the past, regardless of whether the murderer was a human or a ghost, Lu Chu could inquire about other suspicious smells from the victim's body or surroundings. Lu Chu also smelled a strange smell on the victim yesterday, but after he checked the more than 2,000 crew members and passengers and confirmed their smell, he learned that the source of the other smell on the victim was His friend is the person who met him on a seven-day cruise.
And those few people have perfect alibi.
"It's tricky." Lu Chu said, rubbing his temples.
It was already early morning, and the two of them had been busy all day, and even finished their meals in a hurry, Qi still didn't look tired, and Lu Chu was a little tired.
7 held Lu Chu's hand and rubbed his temples instead of him: "Don't worry, the truth will slowly surface."
Lu Chu sighed: "But the task of this game is to 'survive'. If you don't know who the so-called 'tiger' and 'ghost' are, and don't track them down, can you survive to the end?"
"Of course." Seven firmly said.
Hearing 7's simple, clear but firm four words, Lu Chu's heart suddenly settled.
"Rest early, you are too tired today." Seven said.
7 is used to not sleeping like a robot, but Lu Chu can't, because being too tired will make his body function drop sharply.
Lu Chu nodded: "I'll take a shower first."
7 hooked her lips: "Do you need my help?"
Lu Chu's ears were quietly stained red, and he shook his head with a gentle smile: "No, I'll be fine soon."
After Lu Chu took a shower, 7 also washed up, and the two lay on the bed hugging each other.
Today is indeed too tiring, even though it is still raining heavily outside, the cruise ship is swaying and swaying from side to side. Lu Chu soon fell into a deep sleep, and 7 remained awake all the time.
It's dawn.
The violent storm outside stopped slightly, and it was no longer as dark and gloomy as yesterday, like a monster devouring everyone. But the clouds were still thick, and the sun had not yet appeared.
Lu Chu just woke up, still hazy, the whole person is huddled in the snow-white quilt, only revealing a pair of bright eyes, blinking from time to time, looking very well-behaved.
7 kept looking at him, and seeing him like this, couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed his brow and eyes lightly: "Take a rest."
Lu Chu also hid his eyes in the bedding, and nodded slightly.
At this moment, the sound of people arguing faintly came from outside, and the next moment, the communication device at 7's bedside rang.
7 got connected, and the opposite was a crew member on the ship. The crew member said something, 7 said he knew and hung up the phone.
Lu Chu got out of bed: "Is something happening outside?"
"Well," 7's tone was very calm, as if what he said was not a big deal, "someone was killed again."
Hearing that, Lu Chu was refreshed. He sat up and began to get dressed: "Let's go and have a look."
7 also got up and dressed.
After some washing, in order to be easily identified, the two of them wore the captain's uniform and the other wore the crew uniform.
According to the crew, many people gathered in the banquet hall, waiting for the captain to give them an explanation.
After Lu Chu and Qi arrived at the banquet hall, they were immediately surrounded by people. The crew wanted to stop them but couldn't. 7's gaze swept across the audience, and everyone's spine shivered. They couldn't help but stop, and stood in place, not daring to take another step forward.
"Tell me the whole story first." 7 said so.
At this time, a woman about forty years old came out from the crowd, her eyes were red and swollen, and she cried, "My younger brother and younger siblings were killed..."
This time the victims were two people.
Lu Chu asked, "When did you find out?"
"Just...just now," the woman cried out of breath when she said this, "I went to ask them to have breakfast together, but there was no response from inside. I thought they might have gone first, but just now When I was about to go to the restaurant, I saw blood oozing out from under the door... "
Lu Chu frowned upon hearing this, the time of the victimization should be early this morning.
The woman continued: "I was terrified and didn't know what to do. At this time, the people living next to me came out to eat, and they helped me open the door together, and then...then I saw..."
Having said that, the woman couldn't go on talking any more, she sat on the ground slumped, tears kept falling down.
Seeing this, Lu Chu didn't force her, but helped her up, entrusted others to take care of her temporarily, and then looked at the crew member who knew the situation: "Lead the way to the scene of the crime."
7 said to the people present: "Passengers please go back to their rooms first, and the crew and I will go to the scene to check."
At this time, the few police officers, doctors and detectives from yesterday volunteered and said, "Let's join us, maybe we can help."
Lu Chu naturally agreed that it would be great if someone was willing to help, as it would always help the progress of the case.
The person who died this time was a passenger living in an ordinary area. Lu Chu and the others arrived at the destination with the crew who knew the scene of the crime. The door was knocked open, the lock was damaged, and the door was ajar. blood.
The crew leading the way stepped forward and opened the door.
After drying time, the pungent bloody smell and the smell of rotten meat came to the face.
The smell of flesh and blood? The body of the person who was killed in the early morning of this morning should still be fresh, why would there be a rotten smell.
Lu Chu looked in and understood the reason. The joints of the two corpses were twisted and lying on the bed. The arteries in their necks were cut open, and blood was poured all over the ground, and their skins were poured with boiling oil. Less than the original color and shape.
