Miyamoto was stunned for a moment, and sighed softly: "Because I am a detective, when I encounter a case that interests me, I must not give up halfway." There were so many puzzles that I couldn't solve on my last trip that I couldn't allow myself to hold back. ”

"What about them?" I pointed to the others, "Why do you think they got on board?" ”

"Maybe someone thinks the same way I do." Miyamoto smiled contemptuously, "But there must be someone who wants to be lucky and see if they can get a share of the inheritance like me this time." ”

A conversation with Miyamoto gave me a-for-tat feeling. It is as if we are testing each other, because neither of us can be sure whether the other is friend or foe.

Soon I finished dinner, and I can't comment too much on the taste of the dishes, and there is definitely some gap between them and professional chefs. After a brief break, I went to the bar and poured a cup of brewed coffee, and the mellow aroma immediately filled the hall. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant offer a view of the outside as night has already fallen, and the sea has turned a deep blue, reflecting the stars in the moonlight.

"I mean, we can't just wait to die, can we?" The Yellow Crane Tower suddenly slapped the table heavily and shouted loudly.

Only then did I think of this important person, and stood aside and looked at it silently. The Yellow Crane Tower doesn't look good, and it belongs to the kind that will never attract attention when thrown into the crowd. I don't know who sent the note to the three of us, and the purpose of sending the note, what is worth noting about the person of the Yellow Crane Tower?

Speaking of which, in addition to the three of us, the most inexplicable of the other seven people is this Yellow Crane Tower. Because everyone else has a big name, only he is a little-known private detective, and he is not the same as Miyamoto. Miyamoto is a criminal police officer, and he is currently a consultant to the police, while Huang Helou is a half-asser, mainly investigating family disputes, and to put it bluntly, he is following the third child. I can also see from the attitude of other people towards him, everyone is very disdainful of him, and no one looks down on him.

Could it be that he is actually a hidden person, hiding another identity?

Seeing that no one responded to him, Huang Helou continued to argue: "You guys are talking, aren't they all big detectives and big professors?" Who can analyze what the hell this dead old man is doing? And those ghost hunters, call Gao Yuan back and ask! ”

Lei Peng, a professor of psychology, said with a displeased expression: "It's useless for you to shout, and the murderer will not jump out and turn himself in." With this kind of work, it is better to look for clues everywhere. ”

"That's fine, I'm the best at finding clues." Huang Helou said with a smile, "But I have to ask first, I haven't made a feud with Gao Yuan yet?" If you have, stand up quickly, otherwise when you die, don't blame everyone for not saving you. ”

As I expected, no one was silent.

Huang Helou continued: "Don't talk about pulling down, I'm looking for clues!" ”

"Wait!" Chen Mingyi suddenly shouted, "For the sake of safety, everyone should act in groups." ”

"No need, I've always fought alone, you can share it if you like." Huang Helou ignored Chen Mingyi's suggestion, and walked out of the restaurant alone, not knowing where to go.

I thought to myself, this guy can really die, and the first person to die in the movie is this kind of tiger.

The remaining nine people all agreed to act in groups, and the people of our three psychic circles were dispersed into three groups to deal with the unexpected. In the end, I and Miyamoto and Han Xin

is divided into a group, Lin Sikai, Chen Mingyi and Lei Peng are in a group, and the rest of Wang Tianyi, Gao Ze and Ma Ke are in a group.

There was an interesting episode, Gao Ze heard that he was in a group with Wang Tianyi, and he was so frightened that he hid a few steps back, it seems that although he was hard-mouthed just now, he was actually scared by Wang Tianyi's lesson.

The other two groups left one after another, and Han Xin urged us to hurry up, but Miyamoto and I seemed to think together, and neither of us was in a hurry to go out to find the so-called clues.

Miyamoto directly called a waiter and asked, "Before boarding the ship, you all checked and cleaned it, right?" Did you find anything special? ”

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

"Nope." The waiter replied very simply.

"There's nothing to look for at all." Miyamoto laughed, "If the murderer had been hiding on the ship in advance, it would have been difficult for him not to be discovered by the staff." If the murderer is among us, then it is safest to stay in this brightly lit place. ”

"Then why did you agree to Professor Ray's proposal?" Han Xin asked puzzled.

"If someone is going to commit a crime, now is undoubtedly the best opportunity. Everyone gathers together, how can the murderer throw himself into the net? ”

As soon as Miyamoto's words fell, the chandelier in the dining room suddenly flickered, and after a few seconds, the sound of "Zrazla" disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

"Looks like someone doesn't want us to stay here." I chuckled and turned on my phone's flashlight in the dark, only to find that Miyamoto was not panicked at all, and even stretched out with a grin.

He yawned and said, "Then let's go out and have a look!" ”

It wasn't just the lobby that lost power, the cabin was also in total darkness. Only the wheelhouse still has light coming out, because there is a backup power supply, and the brightest place on the whole cruise ship right now should be on the deck, because the moon is exceptionally round tonight.

Some of the people who came out before us were standing on the deck, and they were obviously aware of the power outage as well, looking a little nervous.

Lin Sikai saw us coming out with a flashlight, and waved to me from a long distance and shouted, "Third brother, what about this!" ”

When I saw him calling me, I immediately walked over and asked, "Did something happen?" ”

Lin Sikai said: "Just now, a crew member said that the power generation equipment may be broken, and they have gone to the basement to check. ”

"Why are you all standing here?" I asked again.

Lin Sikai explained: "Just now our group decided to secretly follow the Yellow Crane Tower, we saw him walking to the deck from the floor-to-ceiling window, but when he chased him out, he was gone. It just so happened that there was a power outage, and we were discussing the next step. ”

After listening to him, I took a serious look around. There is more than one exit from the interior of the building to the lower deck, and there are two flights of stairs on the side of the ship that lead to the top deck. It took about ten seconds from the time they saw the Yellow Crane Tower from the floor-to-ceiling windows to the time they chased it out, so there were only two ways to take the Yellow Crane Tower: one was to follow the stairs on the near side to the top deck, and the other was to re-enter the building through the nearest entrance. But he certainly didn't return to the lobby because we had just come out of there, so all he could go to was the second floor cabin.

I then asked, "Do you see Wang Tianyi's group?" ”

Lin Sikai said: "When we came out, they walked in the direction of the cabin. ”

I nodded, "Then let's go to the top deck and have a look." ”

The top deck is an open-air live

The moving space, the rooftop, is more than three times larger than the deck we were on. It is made up of many areas, including a pool area, a sports area, a relaxation area, and so on.

After climbing up the stairs from the side, the first thing I could see was an empty environment, and there was no half a figure at all. Just as all six of us stepped onto the deck, ready to check around, there was a sudden "plop" sound in our ears.

"Looks like someone has fallen overboard!" Lin Sikai immediately shouted.

Everyone's judgment was the same, so they all looked out of the boat, could it be that someone jumped ship?

Miyamoto said: "No, it's not from outside the boat, it's the pool on this floor!" ”

We didn't have a view of the pool from our location, so I didn't know where the pool was. But the others were already on the boat for the second time, and they were all familiar with the road, especially Miyamoto, who ran at the front and led everyone.

When we stopped in front of the pool, the cruise ship also happened to call. The pool was lit up by the lights next to it, and it was also a shocking sight to see a corpse floating on the water, but it was on his back and we couldn't see his face. Judging from his clothes alone, this person should be the Yellow Crane Tower!

"I'm coming!"

Chen Mingyi volunteered to jump out of the pool and pick up the body. But when we saw his face clearly, we were even more surprised—the deceased was not the Yellow Crane Tower, but a crew member, the young crew member who had spoken to me before coming aboard!

Before getting on the boat, his girlfriend was still telling him to return safely, but just over two hours after the boat sailed, he unfortunately died.

The detectives, the captain of the criminal police, and the professor of psychology who were present at the scene were not only able to conduct a preliminary examination of the body, but they also quickly came to the conclusion that the deceased had been hit in the back of the head and then pushed into the pool and drowned, and the death time did not exceed 10 minutes.

But why did he wear the clothes of the Yellow Crane Tower, and where did the Yellow Crane Tower go?

"Find the Yellow Crane Tower first." The decision was made unanimously.

But as soon as the words fell, he heard someone behind him say, "Don't look for it, the Yellow Crane Tower is dead." ”

I looked back in surprise and found that it was Wang Tianyi who had ascended the stairs to the top deck, only to hear him continue: "It's in the cabin, I'm here to ask you to go and see it together." ”

Hearing this, everyone changed color and followed Wang Tianyi downstairs. When I walked into the cabin, I happened to meet another crew member who had finished repairing the equipment, and he saw us getting together, hurriedly ran to the cabin, and asked strangely, "What happened?" ”

"Murder!" I didn't have time to explain it in detail, so I replied casually.

The crew was startled and ran after us to the cabin. But what I didn't expect was that Wang Tianyi actually took us to Han Xin's room, because the Yellow Crane Tower died in this room!

After seeing the corpse of the Yellow Crane Tower, Han Xin couldn't accept it and said, "Impossible! I locked the door when I came out, how did he get in? ”

"We've found a master key on him that seems to open all the doors here." Gao Ze said, "The deceased's pupils were dilated, and the cause of death was cardiac arrest, which in layman's terms, should have been scared to death." ”
