"If you have been drugged, the murderer may not have been at the scene of the crime when the deceased falls, maybe he will make some kind of mechanism to make the deceased fall into the sea within the specified time, so that he has an alibi." Tang Ning frowned and analyzed.

Karl sneered disapprovingly, "What are you kidding? How could there be such a mechanism? ”

"If I had enough materials, I could design dozens of these mechanisms." Downing retorted, after all, he was the one who boasted that he had watched the entire 958 episodes of "Detective Conan" and the full set of "Young Kanedaichi". But he turned his head and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that you didn't protect the scene before, otherwise if you could know what was more or what was missing at the scene, this matter would be easy to do." ”

Tang Ning's words made the second mate and the others a little embarrassed: "I was so flustered at the time, so I didn't think about the problem of protecting the scene for a while, and it was too late to think about it." ”

But he still defended himself: "But if there is anything missing here, I can really name one!" ”

"What's missing?" Tang Ning asked curiously.

The second officer replied, "Lifebuoy!" According to the regulations, each cabin in the first class must be equipped with a lifebuoy and a life jacket, but I found that the lifebuoy here is gone, so no one should steal this thing, right? ”

"So, Mr. Detective, how do you make a time-lapse device out of a lifebuoy?" Carl was deliberately embarrassed.

"It's not impossible to say a lifebuoy, let me think about it." Tang Ning thought as he paced slowly in the room.

But when he walked to the window, he suddenly pointed to the window under the curtain and exclaimed, "Oh my God! You see, what is this?! ”

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, and the second mate was the first to identify: "This, this should be the lifebuoy in Mr. Nick's cabin, but how did it become like this?" ”

In fact, it is no wonder that the second mate feels strange, because at this time, the lifebuoy has been drained of the gas inside and has become a deflated one.

"It can't be anyone's prank, right?"

"How is this possible? Who would dare to come here and play pranks while Mr. Nick is alive? And after Mr. Nick's death, it's even less likely that anyone would have the audacity to come here and play a prank. ”

"That's true, and it's actually boring."

“......”

Just when everyone was talking about it, Tang Ning shouted: "If you look at it this way, there should be other clues here, so please go out for a while, and the second mate and I will re-conduct the search here." ”

Although everyone also wanted to stay and watch the excitement, they had no choice but to leave at Tangning's insistence. After some searching, Tang Ning really found two extremely important clues, and both of these discoveries made his scalp start to tingle.

After leaving the cabin, Tang Ning first found the captain and said to the captain with a serious face: "Mr. Captain, I have a very important thing to tell you, although I don't have enough direct evidence, I firmly believe that my judgment is correct, and this is a major event related to the life and death of more than 2,000 passengers on the ship!" ”

"Oh? What is it? Mr. Detective? The captain asked with a calm expression.

Downing took out a telegram and explained to the captain: "Look, Mr. Captain, this is a telegram from a steamship named California to Mr. Nick, which says that they have everything ready, including three thousand woolen sweaters and blankets, and that there is enough space for three thousand people on board, and that they will soon arrive at their intended location. ”

Seeing that the captain was still calm, Tang Ning continued to take out the second roll of paper: "This is the structural diagram of your company's Olympiad, as far as I know, the Olympic was seriously damaged due to a collision with the British Royal Navy cruiser Hawker during sea trials, and finally reluctantly returned to the port of Belfast in Southampton.

Unfortunately, when Mr. Nick filed a claim with the insurance company, the insurance company investigated and determined that the party responsible for the collision was the "Olympic", so it refused to pay compensation. To add insult to injury, repairs to the Olympic were prohibitively expensive and could take months. At that time, the White Star Steamship Company was already in serious economic difficulties. To make matters worse, if the Titanic did not set sail on time, then the White Star Steamship Company would face bankruptcy. ”

Speaking of this, Tangning's expression began to become angry: "Because the Olympic is no different from the Titanic in appearance, so Mr. Nick, in order to get out of the predicament, came up with an extremely crazy idea, according to us Chinese, it is to steal beams and change pillars."

If it costs a lot of money to repair the Olympic one, why fix it? Why not disguise it as the Titanic for its maiden transatlantic voyage and arrange an accident to receive a huge sum of money? Wouldn't that solve all the problems in one fell swoop?

To sum up, I believe that the Titanic is now in great danger, please Mr. Captain, carefully explore the route and make changes in time to avoid tragedy! ”

Tang Ning originally thought that under his generous statement, whimsical brain, and meticulous logical reasoning, the captain would be shocked and stunned, but he never expected that he would still look extremely calm, and even said lightly: "Well, you are right, but I already know these things." ”

"What?! You already knew about it? Are you also an accomplice? ”

PS: When I was scanning the book today, I saw a copy of "Wanjie Jiayuan System", which can't help but remind me of the days when I was an old driver, because I didn't have a super high appearance and a banknote that could smash the girl lying down, the only advantage was a stable job and a harmless face that looked like a human and animal, so at that time Jiayuan was my main battlefield, and now I think about it, I still feel that some things are a little too particular, hey, the past is unbearable! (Or should I really write a blind date master and look back on my days as a veteran driver?) ）

PS2: In fact, there was indeed such a "California" following the Titanic at that time, but for some reason, the California finally mistook the location and distress signal of the "Titanic" and did not rush to the wreck site in time for rescue. As a result, 1,523 innocent passengers and crew members paid a heavy price for their death at the bottom of the sea.
