"Ruth, you—Why do you think that? Are you really ruined by that nasty billet?! Carl asked, surprised.

"This matter has nothing to do with Jack, in fact, I have long suspected my father's death and that strange will, after my investigation during this time, I found out that this strange will was actually forged by Nick, so of course I wanted to kill him, and I was questioning him about this in the restaurant at the time, but I didn't kill him, because I was on deck with Carl when Nick died, right, Carl?" As she spoke, Ruth turned to Carl.

Karl nodded and replied, "That's right, we were arguing on deck at the time. I told her not to go to third class again, but she just wouldn't listen to me......"

But before Carl could finish speaking, Downing interrupted: "Well, I'm sorry, because of your fiancé, Mr. Carl's testimony can't work, so please find another witness." ”

"One more witness? Carl and I were arguing at the time, and of course we had to avoid others, so how could someone else prove it to us? Ruth muttered dissatisfiedly, but then a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she said excitedly, "I remembered that there was really someone on the other side of the deck who could testify for us!" ”

Hearing Ruth say this, Carlton also remembered: "Ah! I see, you're talking about the witch, aren't you? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the witch, she must have seen us at the time, and if I find her, I'll prove my innocence." Ruth nodded in reply.

And Tang Ning was confused: "What did you say? Witch? There are witches on this ship?! ”

Unexpectedly, the second mate on the side nodded and affirmed: "That's right, there is indeed a witch on the ship, and I will send someone to invite her now." ”

Ten minutes later, the crew really brought a girl disguised as a witch, and after a brief chat, Downing pointed to Carl and Ruth and asked her, "Have you seen these two on the deck today?" ”

The witch recognized it and nodded and replied, "Yes, I did, I was praying to the moon at the time, and I saw that the two of them seemed to be arguing on the other side. ”

"Do you remember what time it was?" Downing asked.

The witch thought for a moment, then replied, "I don't remember the exact time, but it seems that a man jumped into the sea, and then the whole deck was in a commotion, and I think someone will remember this time, and you can ask them." ”

Hearing this, Downing had already confirmed Ruth's alibi when Nick fell into the sea, but he still asked a little unwillingly: "Well, Miss Witch, can I ask, are you going to New York?" ”

Unexpectedly, the witch shook her head and said, "No, my purpose is this ship!" ”

"The ship? What does that mean? Tang Ning asked puzzled.

"Because one of our clan's relics was brought to this ship, that's why I came up to find her and bring him back to the clan." The witch replied slowly.

"And what are the relics of your tribe?" Downing asked.

The witch replied word for word: "Diamond of Doom! In your parlance, it's the Heart of the Ocean! ”

Hearing these four words, let alone Downing, even Carl and Ruth were stunned, but then Carl retorted: "How can the Heart of the Ocean be a sacred relic of your clan?" I obviously bought it at the GARRARD jewelry store! ”

The witch retorted: "This diamond of doom has always been enshrined in our tribe's temple, but it was stolen, and I found out after several visits that it was cut into the so-called heart of the ocean, so I got on this Titanic." ”

Then the witch said with a serious expression: "If you know whose hands this heart of the ocean is, please contact her immediately and return it to me, because this diamond of doom will bring bad luck to the owner, only the power of the gods in the temple can shock him, and there is absolutely no benefit for ordinary people to have him." ”

When the witch said this, Ruth immediately panicked and asked Karl: "I remember you told me that this heart of the sea came from the French royal family, so what happened to the royal family who once owned him?" ”

"Well, my dear, you know that there was a great revolution in France, so... But I don't think it has anything to do with this sapphire, we have to believe in science, don't we? Carl replied with an embarrassed expression.

"Oh! Oh my God, it looks like the witch is telling the truth, so I'm going to get the Heart of the Ocean right now! With that, Ruth hurriedly stood up.

Although Karl stopped her, Ruth was unmoved, and quickly took the Heart of the Ocean and handed it to the witch and said, "You see this is what you call the Diamond of Doom, right?" ”

Unexpectedly, the witch looked at it for a while, but shook her head and handed it back and replied: "This is not the Diamond of Doom, although it looks very similar, but it is definitely not!" And if I'm not mistaken, this gem is only twenty or thirty years old at most! ”

"It can't be! GARRARD is a 100-year-old shop, and it is absolutely impossible to deceive! Carl exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hehe, I grew up touching gems since I was a child, if you don't believe me, forget it!" The witch sneered.

Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, Tang Ning hurriedly interrupted and asked the witch, "Miss Witch, can you identify how a person died?" ”

Hearing that Tang Ning actually wanted a witch to go for an autopsy, the second mate hurriedly stopped: "Mr. Downing, let a witch go for an autopsy, isn't this too unscientific?" ”

Downing spread his hands and said, "But the problem is that there is no forensic doctor on the ship now, and Mr. Nick's body doesn't know if it can be saved until we arrive in New York, so if Miss Witch can perform an autopsy without destroying the body, I think it can still be tried." ”

It may be because of the second mate's distrust, so the witch snorted coldly: "I really won't do an autopsy, but I can determine whether a person has ever been poisoned!" ”

"That's fine! Would you please come with me? Tang Ning hurriedly invited.

After some examination, the witch said conclusively: "This person must have been drugged before!" ”

PS: The Diamond of Doom is a real diamond, it is an Indian blue diamond, which was stolen from the temple by a French adventurer, fell into the hands of Louis XIV, and later passed to Louis XVI, and both died. Later, when he came to England, all the merchants he handled were bankrupt. The National Museum of Natural History now exists in the United States. But Heart of the Ocean is pure fiction.
