"No, he was killed by someone else." Lin Yuhan said firmly, "The strangulation marks on his neck are so rough, and there are broken marks and blood streaks on his fingernails, which are obviously caused by struggle and fighting, I suspect that this is a premeditated murder!" ”

"Why don't you die without an outsider interfering!" Bell lectured in a mocking tone, "Great Mr. Detective, you may have forgotten something. The burglar confessed that he had had a fierce fight with Linda's maid the previous night, and that the wounds on his hands had been inflicted at that time. ”

Lin Yuhan was speechless, he really didn't notice the condition of Shi Yulong's fingers when they first met this morning, and the broken nails were found after the autopsy, if Bell must have said that Shi Yulong's injuries were caused last night, he didn't have any evidence.

Lin Yuhan thought about it, and had to turn to ask secondly: "What about the strangulation marks on his neck?" It doesn't seem simple. If you distinguish carefully, there is still a difference between strangulation and hanging. ”

"Then it's not your turn to intervene, I will give the final result, I am responsible for the investigation and police work of this ship, and take the body away for me!" Sergeant Bell shouted coldly, then ordered the police to carry Shi Yulong out, turned to Lin Yuhan and the others and said, "Please leave here, I want to check the scene!" ”

"You ......" Lin Yuhan still wanted to do something, but when he saw a few big men in front of him, his helpless emotions arose.

I really want to beat them, but my strength doesn't allow it.

Lin Yuhan had no choice but to leave the scene in a huff.

He stepped into the dark corridor and took a deep breath. This Sheriff Bell is so strange that he always seems to be hiding some truth.

If further autopsies could be performed, he might be able to sort out more information, and at this time he could only rely on fragments of memory and sporadic clues to sort out his thoughts.

First someone fell into the water, and then the murderer was strangled to death. Both cases revolve around Amy and his fiancé.

There must be a secret in them!

The three of them came to the deck, and Levitch said, "Detective Lin, I'm going back to the bridge, there have been two murders in one day, and I must report to the captain." The severity of the gaffe is beyond our imagination, and I don't want to continue to die. ”

"Thank you for the first mate's help." Lin Yuhan shook his hand.

The first mate seems to have a strong sense of responsibility and justice, and without his help, the investigation would have encountered more resistance.

Lin Yuhan turned to Amy and said, "Miss Amy, can you give me a copy of Linda's photo and related information?" ”

"I try." Amy said, "She's my fiancé's servant, but I'm not familiar with her, and these things are only available to my fiancé. ”

"Thank you."

Lin Yuhan looked at the calm sea and fell into deep thought.

This is a slaughter without gunpowder, and how many evils are hidden under the seemingly calm sea.

He closed his eyes and thought carefully about everyone he saw and their faces, those ugly deeds might be hidden under their casual expressions.

However, why was Shi Yulong killed, and how did the murderer quietly sneak into the cabin to kill people?

I must find a way to return to the scene of the crime.

He suddenly remembered something, and continued to ask, "Miss Amy, are you going to have a wedding tonight?" ”

"Hmm." Amy nodded.

"Your family will be coming." Lin Yuhan asked casually.

"It's just my uncle, and my brother, and two servants." A bitter smile appeared on the corners of Amy's mouth, "My mother died when I was very young, and my father died in a car accident three years ago. ”

"I'm sorry." Lin Yuhan hurriedly said, "I shouldn't ask about this topic. ”

"It's nothing, it's been a long time. If you can, Detective Lin will come to my wedding too. There was a hint of sadness in the corners of Amy's eyes, "I don't know if today's wedding should be held as scheduled, because I just witnessed a tragedy, which is unlucky in our hometown." It is not possible to marry when you see a dead person. I always had a bad premonition. ”

"If you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not." Lin Yuhan said.

"Perhaps."

Amy put her hand on the railing and lined up beside Lin Yuhan, her instincts had always been accurate, and for some reason, she felt that she was involved in a conspiracy.

On the second deck, a hideous-looking man, the brim of his hat pressed low, obscuring his wrinkled and flushed face. And the terrifying fierce light in his eyes still came through, looking in the direction of Lin Yuhan downstairs.

When Lin Yuhan and Amy finished talking, he turned around and sneaked into the cabin.

……

Cabin lounge.

Eric finished his breakfast, asked the waiter for a cup of coffee, and sat down in the lounge.

He took two leisurely sips, and when he put down the cup, he caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man living on crutches. The man stood beside him with a pipe in his mouth, a polite head on his head, and an unfathomable smile in his eyes.

"Good morning, Mr. Eric." Sergeant Bell sat down and said hello.

"Hello Sheriff." Eric seemed reluctant to speak to him, and opened the newspaper to read, glancing at it from time to time through the gap between the newspaper and his glasses.

"Ask me something." A chuckle appeared on the corner of Bell's mouth, "After the murder yesterday, my police officer did a personnel count and found that your butler Babu was missing, have you seen him?" ”

"Nope." Eric shook his head nonchalantly, "I don't live with him. ”

"Does Mr. Eric know where he likes to go to relax?"

"This is really not clear, there are so many entertainment venues here, how can I know where he goes. Besides, the disappearance of the Báb is a matter of your police, and it has nothing to do with me. I wonder what Sheriff Bell is looking for him? What mistake did the Báb make? ”

"No, we're just investigating the missing person, he's your butler, and it seems like you don't care about this at all?" Bell spoke sarcastically.

"Isn't it normal not to see you? Maybe I'll be back tomorrow, this ship is so big, can you guarantee that nothing will be missed? Eric shifted his gaze to the newspaper, "What's the hurry!" ”

"It's really not guaranteed." Bell said meaningfully, "But this cruise ship has not been peaceful in the past two days, I hope that Mr. Eric will be optimistic about his butler, if there is any news, please inform me in time." Then I won't bother. ”

"Farewell!"

Eric flipped the page of the newspaper in front of him, and his eyes fixed on a certain point. His gaze became more and more eerie, and it wasn't until Bell disappeared from sight that he slowly got up and walked towards the stairs.
