"Of course. Eric replied rather casually, "So, first of all, let me ask our neighbors, Jamie and Vincent in room 304, what is your profession, and what were you doing in the 5 minutes before the fire alarm went off?"

The wide-faced Jamie replied with a look of frustration: "I am a mechanic at a car repair company in Manchester, and I took a leave of absence to visit my uncle who worked in Frankfurt because he was sick. Fifteen minutes before the fire went off, I was reading today's Daily Mail. ”

Vincent, who was a little younger in the same room as him, was even more uneasy: "Today's event is terrible. I was a resident singer in a bar in Lenkenshire, and I was in Lyon, France, looking for inspiration. Because the owner of the bar thinks it's time for me to change my songs. I was tuning my guitar 5 minutes before the fire alarm went off. But I didn't expect this to happen, and I'm in a terrible state right now. ”

Eric didn't show any expression, and he asked Vincent, "What instrument do you use?"

"Guitar, I carry him with me. ”

Eric asked Jamie again, "What did you bring with you?" ”

"I'm just going to visit my uncle, and I'm going to be staying in Frankfurt for one night, so I'm only going to bring a few changes of clothes and an umbrella. ”

Eric continued, "Did you all go out before the fire alarm was remembered?" The answers given by both were very consistent, Jamie and Vincent had both gone out once, but both were less than five minutes, Jamie went to the bathroom once, and Vincent was to move his hands and feet.

"Finally, do you know each other?" Jamie and Vincent glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison. "It's the first time we've met, and we haven't even spoken a few words. Jamie added.

"Thank you very much. Eric turned to Room 302, which was difficult to deal with, "Lady Ollie and Miss Joni, what is your occupation, and what were you doing in the 5 minutes before the fire went off?"

Fat woman Ollie reluctantly replied, "I'm the head nurse of a hospital in Birmingham. On this vacation, I would like to go to Paris, France to relax. Before the fire alarm went off, Miss Johnny and I were chatting very pleasantly. ”

"That's right, I had a good conversation with Head Nurse Ollie. It's rare to meet such a companion on the train. Young Miss Joni chimed in, "Oh—and—I'm a waitress at a restaurant in Belfast, and I'm on a sightseeing trip to Provence. But I didn't expect this to happen right next door to us—just across the wall!" A look of horror appeared on Miss Johnny's face.

"May I ask what you both have brought-" Before Eric could finish asking, Fat Woman Ollie interrupted him angrily, "Women's personal clothes, three sleeping pills, do you still need to check it yourself?" Ollie stared at Eric menacingly.

"Of course not, I believe you. Eric smiled awkwardly.

"Sleeping pills, you brought sleeping pills?" Chiko asked sensitively.

"Is there any problem? Nurse is a high-pressure profession, patients have a little headache and brain fever are all counted in our accounts, and I can only get a good night's sleep by taking a sleeping pill now. Ollie felt suspicious, "Do you think I drugged the deceased? Listen, girl, I've seen a lot of you in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, you should find a reliable man. ”

Chiko naturally understood the meaning of Ollie's words, and couldn't help but want to refute it in shame. At this time, Scott promptly broke the atmosphere that began to permeate the air: "I understand the work of nurses very well, and we flight attendants often encounter such criticisms, and even passengers complain about why we don't let the train wait for them for a minute. So, isn't it Miss Jony's next? ”

"I- I only brought a change of clothes. Miss Jonny was playfully cooperating with Scott.

"Did you two go out before the fire went off?" asked Eric, regretting it.

"What do you say? I went out twice, trying to stretch my muscles in the hallway, but one time I happened to see a shameful scene," the fat woman Ollie gave them another disdainful look.

"I've been out too, I've been to the bathroom too. Jonny immediately picked up. Judging by the look on her face, she seemed to know what Mrs. Ollie was talking about.

"Thank you very much. Eric coughed lightly, partly to hide the embarrassment in front of him, and partly because the misunderstood Chiko had stepped on him in retaliation at the bottom of the table.

The last one was Sandys, who sat across from Eric, a man with a very beautiful bow tie. Before Eric could speak, he had already taken the initiative to answer: "I am a project manager for a company in Edinburgh, and I was sent by the company to take over a project in Bordeaux, France. In addition to a change of clothes, my carry-on luggage also includes a laptop for work and company documents. Of course, before the fire alarm, I also went out once to move my hands and feet at the junction of the two carriages. ”

"Don't you think it's strange that there's only one person in your room?" asked Eric.

Sandys shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "For people like us who travel all year round, this kind of thing is not a big deal. As the Channel Tunnel widens and accelerates, more people are inclined to drive to the continent on their own. Because time is freer this way. And it's a weekday, and people who live on the other side of the Channel only take annual leave or travel to the other side of the English Channel, so it's no surprise that the train has a low occupancy. ”

"Thank you very much for your answers. Eric concluded, "We'll see you in 30 minutes." Eric's brief closing remarks caught Scott and everyone else sitting down unprepared.

"Your conclusion is amazing. Bob's tone was uncomfortably yin and yang, which also drew Scott's reprimanding gaze.

"The truth will tell you the answer on its own, but it won't tell you everything right away. Eric wasn't angry. "Now you can enjoy the afternoon tea on the train, brandy with cheese fries. When Scott heard this, he immediately asked Bob to prepare. He expressed his strong displeasure with his gaze to Eric:

"It's not as good as we said beforehand, no brandy, no cheese fries. ”
