There is rope in the kitchen, but with the chef and the guard, it is difficult to steal the rope while they are not looking.

Moreover, Yu Xue and the others also learned from the cook that on this ship, there is only the place where they can get ropes and axes, except here, the only place where Wang Defa's body is located is in the warehouse.

This was good news, and the search was narrowed down a lot, but when they came to the warehouse, they found that the door was locked.

"It's ...... What's going on? ”

Isn't it normal for the warehouse door to be locked? Instead, it's not right to turn it on.

"Anyway, let's call someone over and open the door first." Di Renjie quickly called the boss: "Store manager, when will this warehouse be locked?" ”

"This ......," the store manager thought as he searched for the key, "it was always locked, that is, it was opened when you put the remains of your companions, and it was never opened again." ”

Yu Xu: "Is there a spare key?" ”

Store manager: "No, all the keys are here...... By the way, it looks like someone borrowed the key from me once along the way. ”

The two were a little excited: "Who is it?!" ”

Manager: "It's the chef, and he said that he didn't have enough firewood, so he came here to get some." ”

"Chef?" The two looked at each other, and they both felt that the chef could not be the murderer, because the chef had been working in the kitchen, which everyone else had seen, which meant that someone had sneaked in with the chef when he entered the warehouse.

There is a possibility.

The door of the warehouse was opened, and you could see Wang Defa's tragic situation in front of your eyes, which was somewhat unbearable.

"Wait a minute." Yu Xue found something: "Is there something slightly wrong with his appearance?" ”

Yu Xue did casually throw Wang Defa's body here, but now it looks a little different from what he remembered.

"It's a little different." Di Renjie also thought so, and stepped forward to check it, only to find: "Brother Yu, look!" Did someone step on the blood here? ”

The blood stains on Wang Defa's head were almost dry, but the blood stains left on the ground could still see a trace of footprints, but it seemed to be covered with new bloodstains.

Yu Xue also took a closer look, it was indeed a little different, the blood in other places was very flat, but the blood here was a little wrong, like a footprint.

The marks left by the first blood flow, even if they are covered with new blood, will still be left behind, but it will become less noticeable.

"But...... Something is wrong. Yu Xue found a suspicious point: "If it was really stepped on, then why are there no footprints around?" ”

Indeed, if the blood stains are stepped on, the person's feet must be stained with blood, and there will be bloodstained footprints when he walks, but there is nothing here, rather, is the floor too clean for a warehouse?

"Manager, when did you clean the warehouse?"

The manager was a little embarrassed: "This ...... It's been too long ago to remember. ”

Yu Yu remembered that the last time she came in, the floor was not so clean, which meant that someone had cleaned the warehouse.

It seems necessary to talk to the only chef who has ever entered the warehouse.

As for the rope and axe, it was true, as they expected, that part of it was missing.

The old clues end here, but new clues have appeared, and if you continue, you will definitely find the alleged murderer.

"Huh?" When he was about to leave the warehouse, Yu Xue suddenly noticed something, and returned to Wang Defa's body to take a closer look.

Seeing this, Di Renjie turned back: "What's the matter, Brother Yu?" Any new discoveries? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that you can see the dried blood stains on his hair, is it familiar?" Yu Xue got some blood residue in his hand and handed it to Di Renjie for him to check.

Di Renjie also carefully confirmed, and also understood something: "This is exactly the same as the red thing in Qiaoqiao's nails!" And that red mark on the window! ”

Now I understand one more thing, the murderer has undoubtedly come to the warehouse, and the one who stepped on the blood stains should also be the murderer, in order to cover up this, he deliberately used Wang Defa's blood to cover it up, and cleaned the floor of the warehouse.

"Wait." Yu Xue thought of something and moved Wang Defa's body again: "Sure enough, Wang Defa's body has also been cleaned, in that case, why didn't he just wipe all the blood stains clean and leave no clues?" ”

"I'm afraid it's because it's easier to leave clues." Di Renjie explained: "If you wipe off such a large pool of blood, the rag will turn blood-red, and if you wash it, it will be exposed. ”

“…… Indeed it is. As Di Renjie said, no matter what, one thing is clear now, the murderer has Wang Defa's blood under his feet, and you only need to confirm the soles of everyone's shoes to know who the murderer is.

In that case, let's act quickly, as if they have seen the scene of the murderer being caught.

But imagination is beautiful, reality is not so simple.

In the face of their questioning, the chef replied without hesitation: "I did go to the warehouse, and I accidentally stepped on the blood stains on the ground, after all, it was very dark in the warehouse, and I almost slipped there, and then the blood stains were everywhere, so I cleaned the warehouse." ”

The clue was broken in an instant, and the chef's feet were indeed stained with Wang Defa's blood, but the chef could not be the murderer, as I said before, the chef worked in the kitchen from beginning to end, and even if he left the warehouse, he didn't have time to commit the crime at all.

The warehouse is the complete opposite of where Jojo was killed, there is not so much time for him to kill Jojo and then set a trap.

And the timing doesn't match, Jojo was killed after the chef returned to the kitchen, and the chef didn't have that time at all.

The clue is broken again, what will they do next?

"No, the clue isn't broken, I don't believe the clue is broken." Yu Xue still didn't admit this fact, and continued to ask, "Where have you cleaned?" Have you cleaned under Wang Defa's body? Has anyone else entered the warehouse other than you? ”

"Little brother, you ask so many questions at once, I can't answer them a little." The cook was a little embarrassed, but he replied one by one: "I didn't clean your companion's body, after all, it was disrespectful to the dead, how could I do such a thing." As for the others...... I don't know, at least no one has ever entered the warehouse since I entered or left. ”

"Yes, thank you for your help." Now Yu Xue and the others understand that there is not only one chef who cleans the warehouse, that is to say, there is another person who cleans the warehouse, and by the way, even Wang Defa's body also cleans together.

As for why you should clean it? Then you don't need to ask, it must be the same as the chef, accidentally stepped on Wang Defa's bloodstains, and he cleaned it for fear of exposure.

So in other words, there must be Wang Defa's blood under the murderer's feet, and the clues have not been completely broken.

The question arises again, did the chef clean first, or did the murderer clean first? If you can figure this out, then you can understand whether the murderer entered the warehouse before the chef or after the chef.

"That's right." The chef suddenly thought of something and said to himself, "Speaking of which, was it locked when I left?" ”

The subordinate on the side quipped: "With your character, you definitely didn't lock it, I used to follow you every time to help lock it." ”

Yu Xue and Di Renjie found the clue again, if the chef left without locking, then who would have locked it? It's hard to think about a second person other than the murderer.
