Chapter 129: ninth inning

Views:

Several people spent several hours checking the bodies and rooms of the victim couple, but found no other clues.

Except for the corpse that was twisted into a strange shape and the strip of cloth stuffed into the neck of the corpse with writing on it, the crime scene was very clean and tidy, and there were no signs of struggle or fighting.

Lu Chu was very curious, how did that ferocious big cat kill these people silently in pain

Because there were no new discoveries or breakthroughs in the case, time passed and it was time for lunch, so everyone had to temporarily disband and go to eat first, leaving a few crew members guarding the scene of the crime.

From the time after Ms. He's death, when several people re-entered the crime scene to investigate and when they had a meal, Lu Chu has been observing everyone who investigated this matter with him.

He was sure that who Ms. He was looking at at that time must be the key to this case.

However, everyone's behavior was extremely normal and there was no doubt, which made it impossible for Lu Chu to investigate further.

Seeing that Lu Chu was out of state during the meal, his mind was in a state of confusion, his brows and eyes were full of melancholy, 7 added a piece of lean meat to his bowl, and then pinched his soft earlobe with his hands.

Lu Chu immediately came back to his senses, and looked up at 7 with clear eyes.

7 hooked his lips, pinched his earlobe lightly again, and then said: "Eat first, there will always be clues."

Lu Chu touched his slightly hot earlobe that was pinched, nodded and said with a smile: "Follow Captain Shen, I will concentrate on eating immediately."

7 hooked his lips and added some food for him.

After the meal, Lu Chu and others went to visit and questioned the passengers who lived near the victim's couple, and finally came to the conclusion that no one heard the abnormal noise in the early morning.

It was the two people who stayed up late playing mahjong with the victim's couple who gave some clues.

The two people said that when they were playing mahjong and chatting with each other, the victim mentioned by chance that his sister often went to their husband and wife's room in the early morning these two days, saying that she was afraid and did not dare to live in a room alone. . She also explained that the reason why she often went there in the early morning was because she was afraid of affecting the normal night life of their husband and wife.

Hearing this, Lu Chu nodded slightly.

This information more strongly pointed out that the previous testimony of the victim's sister was false, but they had already identified Ms. He as a suspect and the interrogation was over, and Ms. He had committed suicide in fear of crime. This seems to be very useful The information is also lost.

During this period, passengers came to inquire about the progress of the case one after another; many people kept asking whether the navigation was repaired and when they could return to the shore and go home.

All the passengers were worried, for fear that they would be the next person to be killed silently.

However, according to the basic laws of horror movies, the navigation at this time must not be repaired. Although they are not acting in horror movies, they are in the "rules" that are more intriguing than horror movies. This is a game, and how the "game" develops depends on whether the consciousness of "rules" thinks it is fun.

So, cruise ship passengers are doomed to disappointment.

During dinner that day, everyone appeared at the restaurant at the same time as if they had made an appointment, and finished their meal in a crowd.

Lu Chu went to the restaurant of the ordinary class to check and found the same scene.

After a hasty meal, everyone hurried back to their rooms, closed the door firmly, and hid themselves.

Seeing this, Lu Chu said to Qi Qi: "It seems that no one will be killed tonight."

"Maybe." Seven said, "Don't worry too much, just wait for the boat to arrive at the bridge."

Lu Chu nodded: "Yes."

That night, Lu Chu still slept in room 7.

No matter what happens during the day, as long as 7 is by your side, you will surely have a good night's sleep.

The next day was calm and no one was killed.

Although it was expected, Lu Chu did not breathe a sigh of relief, because the calm before the storm is often the most depressing and frightening.

Today, there are still many passengers who come to ask whether they can return to the flight. After getting a negative answer, they immediately looked downcast and hid in their rooms again.

On the other side, the crew in charge of the cargo hold came to look for 7.

7 looked at him: "What happened?"

The crew member reported to 7: "Captain, because the cargo space of the cruise ship is limited, and our original plan is a five-day cruise sea trip, we have prepared food for about ten days. The cruise ship just set off a few days ago. , in order to provide you with the best cruise trip, our restaurants are self-service, especially in the VIP area. , our food can only last for eleven days.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chu immediately asked the crew member, "Is 'eleven days' the longest time?"

The crew replied: "Conservative estimates."

Lu Chu pondered, in the case of insufficient food, it is imminent to return to the voyage.

However, there is no navigation, and now it is cloudy every day, even the sun cannot be seen, and it is really impossible to determine the direction in the vast sea that stretches as far as the eye can see. If you set off rashly, you may go in the wrong direction, go to the depths of the ocean farther, or you may encounter dangerous things such as hitting a rock.

7 naturally thought of this, and in a calm and calm voice, he ordered the crew member: "Well, I understand. You go to the radio room, tell the news to the passengers on board, and tell everyone to save food. We will solve it as soon as possible. Navigation problem. Three days later, even if the navigation and other detection instruments are still unavailable, and the dark clouds have not dissipated, we will set sail and try to find the way back based on the experience of the old sailors."

"Yes, Captain!" The crew led the order to retreat.

After a while, the radio room resounded in every room and every corner of the cruise ship.

Because of this sudden bad news, even if there was no murder, the fear of the passengers on the cruise increased to a higher level, and people panicked for a while, without the laughter, singing and dancing that Lu Chu saw at the beginning. All the extravagance and splendor have faded away, and this luxury cruise ship that originally set sail for relaxation and pleasure seems to have turned into a ghostly castle, desolate, quiet and lifeless.

Those criminal policemen, doctors and detectives came to find Captain Shen and Lu Chu together, exchanging ideas and guesses with each other.

In the afternoon, Ellie insisted on holding Beard to see Lu Chu, grabbed Lu Chu's arm and asked him why he didn't go back to her room. She couldn't find him.

Lu Chu had a hard time persuading her before coaxing Ai Li back.

7 has been holding back the killing intent, and waited for Aili to leave before hugging Lu Chu into her arms, and said in a deep voice, "Stay away from her."

Regarding Ai Li's behavior of always sticking to her, Lu Chu himself was also very helpless: "I have never been close to her, why, are you jealous?"

7 bit Lu Chu's earlobe lightly, and said without concealment: "Well, I'm jealous."

Lu Chu originally wanted to tease 7, but he didn't think so, but was blushed by 7's straightforwardness.

That night, Lu Chu slept in 7's captain's lounge again. 7, in the name of being jealous, pressed him on the bed and kissed him all over his body. The kissed Lu Chu was covered in thin powder. 7 The part of his lower abdomen was hard and painful, but he didn't do anything to Lu Chu, but hugged him and fell asleep together.

When he woke up, Lu Chu found that he was curled up in Qi's arms.

Lu Chu raised his head and saw Qi was staring at him with his head down. The two looked at each other. In the next second, Lu Chu's lips were sealed by him, robbing him of his breath.

Lips and teeth touch, and the tingling pleasure is transmitted to the brain.

After a long time, 7 let Lu Chu go. Seeing Lu Chu lying in his arms, his breath slightly disturbed, his gentle eyes watery and misty, his heart felt soft.

The two hugged and lay down for a while, looked at the time, then got up and got ready to eat breakfast.

However, as soon as the two arrived at the restaurant, they heard a crew member running towards them, stopped panting, and then panicked: "Captain, when I came out in the morning, I smelled acrid smell coming from the two rooms next door." The smell of blood, the room was locked from the inside, we had to break open the door, only to see... eight crew members in two rooms, all killed!"

Hearing this, the other people present all gasped, and their eyes widened in shock.

At this moment, two more women ran over: "Captain Shen, there is blood oozing from under the door of the room next door to us, and everyone doesn't know what to do. Go and have a look!"

7 asked: "Break open the door?"

The woman shook her head: "Not yet, our girls can't be knocked down, and a few men don't dare to knock on the door no matter what!"

7 turned around and called several crew members to help knock on the door.

After a while, several passengers came over and told them that something had happened next door, and 7 immediately sent the crew to check each room to see how many people were still killed.

After a day of tranquility, it turned out to be a more violent storm. After some confusion, the confirmed death toll was eight crew members and thirteen passengers.

To Lu Chu's surprise, one of the dead was a criminal policeman who investigated the case with him—the criminal policeman who Lu Chu said had sex with the woman in room 136. The criminal policeman's death method was as strange as the previous murder cases. His upper and lower lips and ten fingers of both hands were cut off, and they were neatly stacked on the crimson bed soaked in blood. His body was randomly thrown on the ground, curled up together, looking extremely painful when he died.

Several other criminal police doctors and others who assisted in the investigation arrived immediately and investigated the scene of the crime with Lu Chu and the others.

To everyone's surprise, this time, through breath confirmation, the ghost who killed the criminal policeman was quickly found—it was the woman in Room 136 that Lu Chu had said before, who had a relationship with the criminal policeman.

This woman always knocked on Mr. Interpol's door for reasons of fear at night, and then the two of them had a relationship, and they became more intimate and ambiguous. Every night, either the woman goes to the criminal police, or the criminal police goes to the woman, the two have always maintained such a relationship. Therefore, the criminal policeman may be said to be defenseless against the woman in Room 136.

It can be seen from this that it is not necessarily close relatives who are seduced by ghosts, but also people who trust them.

Because of trust, you will obey, and you will be defenseless against it.
