Chapter 227: The First Victim

Three little Indian boys are in trouble at the zoo, and bears suddenly fall from the sky, leaving only two of the three.

Two little Indian boys, sighing in the sun, and one of the two was left in the sun.

A little Indian boy returned alone, and the hanging beam committed suicide in this life, and there was no one left.

This nursery rhyme is from the famous "No One Survives" by Agatha, the Queen of Reasoning!

The main content of "No One Left Alive" is that ten people are invited to the Indian Island at the same time.

None of the eight guests knew who the inviter, Mr. Owen, was, nor had they seen him, not even the housekeeper couple who were employed by Mr. Owen.

On the island, ten people are announced their crimes by a strange voice on a gramophone. Because of the storm, they are completely isolated from the world, and here is a strange nursery rhyme and ten small porcelain statues of the Indians, and then these ten people died mysteriously according to the nursery rhyme, and the murderer was among them!

In the end, the author did not directly reveal who the murderer was, but implied that the murderer was the judge through the content of the note in the drifting bottle!

Long Xi remembered that when he first watched "No One Survived", he was deeply impressed by the death of the ten people on that island.

She shuddered. Could it be that the nursery rhymes on this wall also imply that there will be ...... She counted, herself, MK, Mrs. LI, SU, SI, JU, OU, MR. SU, SI, JU, OU, THE OLD BUTLER, TWO MAIDS (ONE OF THE MAIDS WAS THE WIFE OF THE OLD BUTLER, AND THE OTHER WAS THE DAUGHTER OF THE OLD BUTLER), ADDING UP TO EXACTLY TEN PEOPLE, WAS IT A COINCIDENCE OR?

If this is the case, who will be the first victim?

Long Xi walked to the window and looked at the gate.

She hopes that MK will return safely! Although she knows that MK is not Mokun, she still doesn't want a game character that is based on Mokun to be the first victim!

Half an hour later, she saw a man in a yellow raincoat walk in through the gate.

Long Xi remembered that when MK left, he was wearing a yellow raincoat, and the figure of that person was also very similar to MK.

Long Xi didn't change his pajamas at the beginning, so he opened the door directly at this time and walked into the hall.

Mrs. LI didn't sleep either, sitting on the sofa in the hall with an anxious look on her face, as if she had been waiting.

The person who came back was really MK, his face was as pale as paper, he looked at Mrs. LI and said, "Mrs. LI, you calm down and drink some brandy first......"

HE POURED A GLASS OF WINE FOR MRS. LI, WHO TOOK IT WITH TREMBLING HANDS AND DRANK IT ALL.

Long Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

MK said, "I found Mr. OU's boat by the sea, and ...... His corpse!"

Mrs. LI wailed, covered her mouth and cried.

Long Xi sat beside her, hugged her, and comforted her softly.

An hour later, Mrs. LI's mood calmed down slightly.

The time on the clock shows that it is five o'clock in the morning.

MK called the others (including the butler and the two maids) into the hall and explained the situation.

Everyone was shocked and terrified, at least on the surface!

MK said, "I advise everyone from now on, for the sake of safety, not to act on their own, and to stay together as much as possible!

SI hurriedly said, "No, no, I don't want to go!"

MK said, "If you don't go, then stay here alone and the rest of us will go together!"

SI CRIED OUT LOUD WITH A "WOW", AND JU COMFORTED HIM.

Long Xi said: "I agree with MK's idea. The storm is so strong, I don't think there will be any ships coming in the next two days. In this situation, I think the only way we can do it is to unite and help ourselves!"

MK nodded at her and said firmly, "Then we'll leave right away!"

Everyone put on their rain gear, MK took the lead and everyone else followed him towards the beach.

Mr. OU's boat was tied to the sea, and a headless male corpse in casual clothes lay about three meters from the boat.

Mrs. LI forced herself to compose, carefully recognized, and said with difficulty, "This dress..... That's what he went out in this suit yesterday. ”

Long Xi asked, "His head ..... Where?"

MK said, "I searched everywhere and couldn't find it! Maybe it was swept away by the waves......"

Long Xi said: "Based on his clothes and body shape alone, can you be sure that he is Mr. OU?"

MK was stunned and said, "But this island is a private island, and it is the property of Mrs. LI. If it weren't for Mrs. LI or Mr. OU bringing people to the island, the island's automatic alarm system would have sounded. I haven't thought about the alarm system in the past few days, which means that there should be no one else on the island except for a few of us! But I also hope that he is not Mr. OU, only to protect the scene and the body, and let the police do DNA testing when the time comes!"

Mrs. LI had long been unable to cry, and DA was in charge of supporting her, whispering a few words of comfort from time to time.

As a doctor, SU was not small, squatting next to the corpse, observing the wound.

"The man's fatal wound was probably a wound in the neck, and it was obvious that the head was in a different place with some sharp weapon, such as a sharp axe," she said. ”

Long Xi remembered the nursery rhyme on the wall, and the third sentence was not "A body and a head are separated"? It's really creepy!

SU CONTINUED: "JUDGING FROM THE STIFFNESS OF THE BODY, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YESTERDAY MORNING, HE WAS KILLED WHEN HE FIRST CAME HERE AND BEFORE HE COULD GO TO SEA, AND THE MURDERER DID NOT LEAVE ANY TRACES, OF COURSE, IT MAY HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY BY THE RAIN." ”

Long Xi nodded, and also leaned over to look at the corpse.

In order to solve the case, she can only focus on the corpse and see what clues exist that can be unearthed.

Mr. OU's fingers curled up, as if he was holding something inside, Long Xi's eyes lit up, and he forced himself to endure the discomfort and leaned in to take a closer look.

SI took a few steps back, as if he wanted to leave the place, but he didn't dare to go alone, looked around, and leaned over to MK.

"Brother MK, it's terrible here, can you send me back?" said SI with a trembling voice and tears in her eyes.

MK glanced at SI and said, "If you want to go back, let Brother JU accompany you back, I still have something to do." ”

SI was aggrieved and scared, but it wasn't the first day she had met MK, and she could see his impatience, so she had to turn her head to look at JU.

"A few of us are here, and it might be even more dangerous if only the two of us go back to the villa," JU said. ”

As soon as he said this, SI did not dare to go back to the villa.

JU STRETCHED OUT HIS ARM AND TOOK SI IN HIS ARMS, AND SI DIDN'T REFUSE. At this time, she really needs a person to rely on!

It was morning, but the sky was as dark as evening, and the light was dim and the wind was gusting.

Long Xi found a lily-shaped white diamond ring in the corpse's hand.

Mrs. LI was even more emotional when she saw the ring.

Long Xi noticed that Mrs. LI also had an almost identical ring on her finger, the difference was that the shank of LI's ring was larger.

MK said sadly, "This is their wedding ring." ”

Long Xi looked carefully at the ten fingers of the corpse, and they looked very clean and white under the rain when they lost their blood.

Long Xi asked, "Does Mr. OU wear a wedding ring all the time?"

Mrs. LI nodded tremblingly.

Long Xi had a bold reasoning in her heart, but she didn't say it. It would be unwise to say that reasoning in the current situation! If it were to be said, the second person to be killed might be Long Xi!

"Let's move the carcasses to a warehouse near the villa so that they don't get eaten by vultures," he said to JU. ”

JU vomited and said, "No, I can't do this!"

The BA boss said, "Useless guy! MK, I'll carry it with you!"

MI nodded, handed a pair of gloves to BA in charge, the two put on the gloves, MK wrapped the body in his raincoat, and the two carried the headless corpse together.

The two of them placed the body and quickly rushed back to the Lily Villa.

The wind and rain were too strong, MK didn't have a raincoat, and he was drenched all over his body, and when he reached the foyer, the rain was falling from his hair dripping down, and a puddle of water quickly gathered on the ground.

Ordinary people must be very embarrassed when they are drenched like this, not to mention that they have just experienced such a thing.

But Long Xi saw that MK had hardly changed except for his whiter face and brighter eyes, just like the wet clothes that stuck to his skin were worn on someone else's body.

"Go take a hot shower and change your clothes, it's easy to get sick. Long Xi couldn't bear it.

MK didn't say anything, but went upstairs and into his bedroom.

SI, who has always shown people with an angelic face, instantly turned into a female devil and glared at Long Xi viciously.

Long Xi wasn't afraid of her, but he wasn't in the mood to fight with her, so he said a few comforting words to Mrs. LI, and then prepared to go upstairs to the bedroom alone.

As she passed by the dining table, she took a special look at the ten dwarf terracotta figurines in the center of the table and counted them in her heart.

The number of dwarfs is really one less, and Long Xi remembers that one of the ten dwarf terracotta figurines was writing before, and now the dwarf terracotta figurines are gone.

Is there one less dwarf terracotta figurine when one person dies? Is this plot really very similar to the plot of Agatha's famous reasoning book "No One Survives" in which a dead person is one less soldier?

Could it be that on the planet BT 500 years ago, there was a mystery writer who had a similar whimsy, but that author was not as lucky as Agatha, and his work did not sell well?

If that's the case, then the next person to die will probably be at bedtime?

Long Xi hesitated a little suddenly. Am I going back to my bedroom? Maybe I'll be the next person to be killed?
