89: Waiting for the rabbit
The water dragon groaned: "The golden ring is actually very safe when it is placed in the coffin. I don't think there's a need to rush to get the ring right now. It's not too late for us to do it after the ship arrives at the sea. ”
Cheng Li frowned and said, "Why wait? The ship will arrive at its destination, and there will be several days." Wait any longer, maybe someone else will be killed. ”
Shui Long Yin smiled: "Think about it carefully, even if we get the gold ring, it doesn't mean that we have caught the murderer. How much time does it take to find the whole boat to compare the prints on the palms of the opponents?
The sea is vast, if you jump over the wall and destroy the ship, then we don't have to wait for death? So, it's safer to wait for the ship to dock before doing it.
In addition, the murder only happened today, and now the vigilance of everyone on board is at the highest level. It is not an exaggeration to even say that 'the wind is loud, and the grass and trees are soldiers'.
In this case, even if the murderer wants to commit another crime, it is actually difficult to find an opportunity to do it. If you force it, you will increase the risk of exposing yourself. So, I guess the murderer will probably not commit another crime for the time being. On the contrary, he will die down and lurk for a while. Wait until everyone is slacking off before striking again. ”
Xi Yinchun nodded: "Makes sense." If I were a murderer, I would probably have avoided the limelight first. ”
Cheng Li hesitated for a long time, and then finally relented: "Okay, then leave the golden ring here for the time being." When the boat docks, we'll come back and get it. ”
Shui Long Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then let's hurry up." To be honest, this ghost place is too yin, and I always feel evil. If you stay for a moment, you won't feel comfortable. One in each hand, he pulled up Cheng Li and Xi Yinchun respectively, and climbed the stairs leading to the cabin on the upper floor.
————
A whole day passed in this dreary and oppressive atmosphere. Before you know it, the moon is in the middle of the day.
The sea breeze still blows. But except for the sailors who were at the helm on duty, everyone else on board had gone back to their rooms and slept peacefully. The ship was silent inside and out.
Suddenly, in the corridor of the cabin, a faint figure jumped. This figure moves lightly and swiftly, like a tanuki. Sometimes he walks close to the shadows of the corridor, sometimes he jumps up to the ceiling, and his hands and feet move against the ceiling. The action is silent, coming and going without a trace. True to its name, "elusive".
On this boat, there are many masters at the moment. Among them, Xi Yinchun is nicknamed "Feng Langjun" on the rivers and lakes, and his light skills are high and have a good reputation.
The chief rudder of the Changbai Sword Sect stands on the top of the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains. No matter up or down, you need to be a good light worker. Therefore, the two husbands and wives of Meizhu Shuangjian are not only powerful in swordsmanship. Light Gong is also very famous in the martial arts.
Le Dashao is obese, and his light work is naturally dragged down by his weight, which is not very good. But the black-clothed bodyguard beside him looked like a bamboo pole, and at a glance, he knew that he must be extremely successful.
But all the light skills of all these masters, all combined, are not as good as this figure moving in the cabin of the ship.
The so-called light power on the rivers and lakes, in fact, is correctly called, it should be "light body lifting longitudinal technique". Practicing light exercises does not really make people lose weight. It's just a big boost to run, jump, and dodge the ability to move.
But right now, this figure can really become as light as a feather, and the whole body is like nothing. Because, he can really make himself lighter.
What is weight? It is nothing more than a force that an object has directed to the center of the earth under the influence of gravity. This force is relatively large, and the weight is heavy. This force is small, and the weight is light.
Different planets have different gravitational forces. The gravity of the Moon is only one-sixth the size of the Earth, so the weight of human beings on the Moon will also be reduced to one-sixth of the original weight.
If you lose weight, of course, the light work will be more powerful. It's just that ordinary people can't do this kind of thing.
Cheng Li is not an ordinary person, but a "robber". His unique power of robbery, "Jizo Tribulation", happens to be able to manipulate gravity changes to a limited extent.
Therefore, even if Cheng Li has not practiced "light skills" in the general sense of martial arts, but in real comparison, even if "Feng Langjun" is compared with it, he must be dumbfounded and ashamed.
That happened during the day, so the vigilance on the ship was strengthened many times. From time to time, groups of female soldiers, armed with torches and scimitars, walked through the corridors of the cabin on patrol.
However, no matter how vigilant these female soldiers were, they would never be able to find Cheng Li, who was like a ghost.
Half an hour later, Cheng Li had already entered the bottom compartment of the ship again. Although there is only one staircase in the bilge as the entrance, there are also eight female soldiers guarding the entrance. But these female soldiers don't seem to be able to see Cheng Li at all.
Surrounded by dark matter, it melts perfectly into the darkness. Cheng Li's figure moved instantly, and in just a moment, he had already dodged into the bilge. The female soldiers guarding the entrances and exits could only feel a gust of wind blowing through them, but other than that, they could not detect anything unusual.
Inside the bilge of the ship, there is darkness that completely reaches out and cannot see the fingers. A biting chill filled all directions, and even Cheng Li shivered unconsciously under the invasion of this chill.
Due to the robber's physical strength, the physical fitness of the robber has been enhanced in all aspects. Speaking of eyesight, Cheng Li can shoot at a target a kilometer away without the help of a scope.
However, no matter how sharp the eyesight is, it has not evolved into infrared night vision that can see in a completely dark environment. So after entering the bilge, even Cheng Li couldn't see anything.
But that's not a problem. Because during the day. Cheng Li has completely written down the entire bilge environment. He knew exactly where there was something and how many steps he had to take to get there, and there was nothing wrong with him.
So Cheng Li knew that in the east corner of the bilge, there was a screen that was already very dilapidated. I don't know what the use of this thing is left on the ship. But between the screen and the wall of the cabin, a narrow space is formed.
Hiding in this space, you can clearly see the dozens of coffins. But if you stand next to the coffin, it is difficult to see the movement behind the screen.
Cheng Li just wants to hide behind the screen, and then wait for the rabbit.
Indeed, the shape of the palm prints and fingerprints of everyone in the world is different. Using fingerprints as clues to track down criminals is already commonplace in Cheng Li's original world, and there is nothing unusual at all. Even experienced criminals wear gloves before committing the crime to avoid leaving fingerprints.
However, to perform fingerprint identification, some specialized technology is required. And these technologies do not exist in the world today. Although Cheng Li knows the principles of these technologies, he does not understand the specific operation methods.
Therefore, the method of using Miao Huo's gold ring to extract fingerprints and find out the murderer actually only exists in theory. Actually, it can't be done at all.
Cheng Li also knew that he couldn't do it. But he still said this method with only one purpose: to startle the snake.
