Ai Li was a little different from the last time Lu Chu saw her. She seemed to be a little clingier and smiled more.
She didn't pay attention to others when Beard was on the sidelines, and just chattered around Lu Chu. Seeing that the door of the deceased couple's room was wide open, she immediately said that she wanted to go in and have a look. Fortunately, Lu Chu stopped her in time.
Ai Li looked at Lu Chu with doubts on her face: "What's the matter, Chu, can't you see the room over there?"
After all, Ellie is a woman. The last time she saw the man whose legs had been amputated, she was taken aback. It is inevitable that she will not be frightened again this time. Because of this, Lu Chu stopped her from checking the crime scene.
Lu Chu pointed to the room over there, and explained to Ai Li: "A murder case just happened there, and the scene of the death is too bloody. If you are a girl, don't go to see it."
When Beard heard this, he was immediately very curious: "Just now, I heard that two more people were killed. How did you find out, what, did you?"
Lu Chu shook his head: "There are no clues, only two pieces of cloth left by the murderer."
"A strip of cloth?" Beard was startled, "Is there any writing on it?"
The detective interjected, "Written."
Beard: "Pen?"
The detective nodded: "Black oil-based pen."
Beard exaggerated intermittently: "Oh, my God, you, can't you find the murderer based on the handwriting?" Because of his poor Chinese, his speech at the moment is quite ridiculous.
The detective snorted: "The murderer is not mentally handicapped. Since he dared to write with an oil-based pen, it means that he came prepared. He is not afraid of us to compare the handwriting. If the murderer is really a guy who can change his handwriting at will, we have nothing to do." With a professional instrument, it is difficult to find the murderer from the details of the strokes with the naked eye alone."
"I'm just saying, what if..." Beard's voice weakened.
"Okay," Lu Chu interrupted the conversation between the two parties, "Don't waste too much time on unimportant things. Finding the murderer is the most important thing. We should interrogate the victim's sister first."
Upon hearing this, Ellie immediately said, "Chu, I'm going too!"
"Ai Li, we are not playing." Lu Chu persuaded patiently.
"No, Chu," Ellie insisted, grabbing Lu Chu's sleeve relentlessly, "I think I can help Chu, if you don't let me follow, I won't let you go. Besides, Chu often says I'm the smartest woman around, aren't I?"
Of course, Lu Chu didn't remember that he said such a thing, it must be a certain character setting of his identity and role in this game. Therefore, Lu Chu couldn't deny it, but politely took her hand away from her, and said helplessly, "Well, can you sit aside as much as possible?"
"Of course." Ellie smiled seductively, very happy.
7 stretched out his strong arms to embrace Lu Chu, and looked at Ai Li with warning eyes.
Just like that, a group of people entered the room of the victim's couple's sister.
Several crew members stood beside the lady, seemingly protecting her, but actually obeying Lu Chu's words and supervising her.
Seeing Lu Chu and the others approaching, the lady immediately wiped her red and swollen eyes, stood up, and said with a choked tone, "How about it, Mr. Captain, Mr. Criminal Police... have you found out the murderer who killed my brother and sister?" ?”
Lu Chu shook his head: "We are on a cruise ship, and we don't have the corresponding investigation tools, which is extremely unfavorable to the investigation of the case. Sit down first, we have something to ask you."
"Okay." The lady obediently sat by the window.
Because the space in the room was too small, the crew retreated, leaving room for Lu Chu and others to inquire and investigate.
The detective took out a small notebook and asked the older sister of the victim couple, "Madam, what's your name?"
The lady said modestly: "My surname is He."
The detective nodded: "Ms. He."
At this time, a doctor said: "Ms. He, after the autopsy by me and another doctor, it is speculated that the time of death of the victim was within five to six hours, that is, between three and four in the morning. What have you been doing during this time?"
Ms. He replied: "I was fast asleep at that time."
The criminal police interjected and asked, "Didn't you hear any strange noises coming from the room next to you?"
Ms. He shook her head: "No, it's raining so hard outside, with lightning, thunder, and storm, and the cruise ship is also swaying. Even if there is, I can't hear it."
The people who questioned her looked at each other, and the detective asked again: "When was the last time you saw your brother and siblings?"
"Dinner time," Ms. He said as if recalling, "After that, I was a little tired, so I went back to my room first."
The detective said while writing, "That is around eight o'clock last night?"
Ms. He affirmed: "Well, that's right."
Lu Chu looked sideways: "Then do you know who else the deceased couple met after that?"
I don't know why, when she heard Lu Chu's question, Ms. He unconsciously became more cautious when answering the question: "Yes, the people in room 321 played mahjong together."
Lu Chu looked directly at her: "Are you sure?"
Ms. He nodded: "Yes, they were planning to invite me to join us, but I declined. I met the people in room 321 at breakfast today. After asking them, they said that they played mahjong together until after eleven o'clock in the night. We also took pictures together."
This is impossible. Regarding the smell of the people in room 321 that Ms. He said, Lu Chu had indeed smelled it on the dead body, but the smell stayed longer than Ms. He's smell on the body. However, she said that she separated from the victim couple earlier than they did.
Obviously, she lied.
The eyes of the others became serious.
Lu Chuwen's expression remained unchanged: "Ms. He? Or call you a ghost? Then, please tell us now, who is the 'big cat'?"
When the words came out of Lu Chu's mouth, Ms. He was stunned. She forgot her words for a while, and then murmured after a while: "You... what are you talking about..."
Seeing this, the doctor acted decisively and fabricated a lie to deceive her: "We found the video camera that the deceased turned on before he died in the deceased's room. Although it only captured a corner of the room, we clearly saw you walking into the deceased's room in the early morning. "
Ms. He was already in a panic. At this time, she had no way of distinguishing the truth from the doctor's words. She just thought that a camera had exposed her whereabouts, so she fell to the ground and murmured: "Tiger, tiger! …”
Lu Chu looked at her and asked softly: "Are you coerced by him? Don't be afraid, answer us truthfully, and we will help you."
She looked at Lu Chu with horror on her face: "You lied to me...you lied to me...help me? Who will help me...I can't say! I can't say...I won't let me go...no..."
As she spoke, she cried out in pain, more real than when her brother and sister passed away, and even more distraught. She stepped back step by step until her back was against the window behind her, and then she suddenly opened the window while everyone was not paying attention, and suddenly jumped down.
These are the upper floors of the cabin of the cruise ship. The bottom is not the vast sea, but the hard floors on both sides of the hull. Falling from a height, the woman fell into an ugly posture and her leg bones were broken. Despite this, she still struggled and dragged her painful and mutilated body towards the edge of the cruise ship in panic.
"Stop her!" cried the detective excitedly.
Seeing this, Lu Chu understood her intention of committing suicide to keep the secret, and immediately climbed to the window, trying to jump directly from here to stop the woman's action, but was grabbed by 7's arm, and 7 stared at him: "This is too high gone."
After finishing speaking, 7 waved his hand, and several crew members rushed down immediately. When those crew members rushed downstairs, trying to get close to stop the woman, Ms. He had already climbed onto the side of the boat.
Before jumping down, she raised her eyes and glanced in this direction.
From such a long distance, Lu Chu seemed to read a trace of begging for mercy from her desperate and terrified eyes.
She was looking in their direction, so who was she begging for mercy.
In other words, what kind of existence would cause her to be so frightened and frightened as to ask for mercy even though she had already decided to seek death
Lu Chu didn't know the answer.
And Ms. He also jumped into the endless blue sea at the next moment.
The detective and others were instantly depressed: "Now, the clue is broken."
Although the torrential rain had stopped at this time, the strong wind did not stop, the sky was still dim, and the sea was rough. If a person jumps into the sea, he will not know where he will be swept up in the next moment, let alone fishing for people in the sea.
So Ms. He's line was cut off for no apparent reason.
A doctor sighed: "There is no way to do this. It is impossible for us to jump from here too. I regret my life."
"What do we do now?" the detective asked.
The detective snapped his fingers: "Go to the next door and continue to study the dead body, maybe there will be some new discoveries."
Everyone agreed, and walked to the next room one after another. After a while, only Lu Chu and Qi were left here.
Lu Chu put his hands on the window, looked into the distance, and wondered himself: "What the hell is a 'tiger', and why can't I smell it..."
Although he asked this question, he didn't expect that 7 would really give him the answer, because this was a task he had to complete alone. 7 has long known the strategy methods and puzzle answers of all single-player dungeons. He has always escorted Lu Chu with a guiding attitude, but he will not directly tell him the correct answer, because it seems to be helping, but in fact it is drowned.
So Lu Chu continued to guess.
"Maybe it's just a certain kind of temptation, or maybe it's just a certain kind of temptation... Amplify the greed in the bottom of the heart, take advantage of this, devour that person's soul, and then make him or her a servant who must obey you absolutely, that is, a ghost." Lu Chu As he said that, he laughed first, "Why does it sound like a cult brainwashing ceremony, I really don't know how many ghosts this tiger has."
7 pursed his lips when he heard the words, pulled Lu Chuhuan into his arms, and said in a low voice, "I won't let this big cat have a second ghost."
Lu Chu nodded when he heard the words, but Ms. He's eyes before jumping into the sea appeared in her mind.
What is she afraid of, and whom is she begging for mercy
That "tiger" might be among the group of people they were just now.
