"How is it possible, you—don't talk nonsense." Marco was a little nervous, and his voice began to tremble.

Gao Ze also said: "That's it, the figure just now can't see the face at all, how can you recognize it as Fang Zhibin?" ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

The more I listened, the more confused I became, and I couldn't help but ask, "Who is Fang Zhibin?" ”

Miyamoto whispered to me, "One of the three people who died last time, Fang Zhibin is the deputy director of the city bureau of Island City, and the immediate boss of Captain Chen Mingyi Chen. ”

"So, the other two deceased were also from Island City?"

Miyamoto shook his head and said, "That's not true. Fang Zhibin was later transferred to Island City, and the three of them all served in Jiangnan in their early years, and it should have killed Gao Yuan's old friend at that time. However, these are all old cases, and now the information is not complete. ”

"What about the others?" I said to everyone at the same time, "Are you all from the island?" ”

Gao Ze replied first: "That's right, but I'm a small forensic doctor in the bureau, and I never had the opportunity to know these big leaders before." ”

Miyamoto also said: "I'm not from Shima City, but I'm investigating a case, and I'm tracking down the murderer here." ”

According to the position where everyone was standing, my gaze swept over Chen Mingyi, came to Lei Peng, and asked again: "Captain Chen, needless to say, what about Professor Lei?" ”

Lei Peng said: "I am from the island city, but I am currently working in the capital. ”

When it was Marco's turn, he said: "Me is not, and I have never been to Island City, I have been writing books in my hometown in Hui Province." ”

"Where's Lawyer Han?"

"I have lived in Gangnam since I was a child, and the law firm is also open there." Han Xin replied decisively.

"Did you know Takato before?" Lin Sikai asked.

Han Xin replied without thinking about it, "I've never seen it before." ”

After listening to their introductions, I began to have a feeling that Gao Yuan's search for these ten people was not random, and there must be some connection behind it. On the surface, the three people who died last time used to work in Jiangnan and knew each other, and only Han Xin was in Jiangnan; Later, Fang Zhibin was transferred to Island City and became Chen Mingyi's top boss; Gao Ze is a forensic doctor at the Island City Branch, and he didn't know Fang Zhibin and Chen Mingyi before; Lei Peng is a native of the island city, but he has long since emigrated; Miyamoto is an outsider, and the investigation of the case happened to be traced to Shima City.

Marco alone doesn't seem to have anything to do with the island city. There is also the dead Yellow Crane Tower, I don't know his details for the time being, but judging from the fact that he sneaked into Han Xin's room before his death, it is very likely that he is investigating Han Xin.

While I was thinking, Miyamoto spoke again

"By the way, Huang Helou is also from Island City, and he is a well-known local private detective. After disembarking last time, I went out of my way to investigate. ”

In this way, except for Marco, everyone's connection seems to be the island city. However, if the others didn't hide it, it seems that the only people they really knew were the three people who died last time, plus one Chen Mingyi.

Then again, why did the topic suddenly run so far, wasn't it just a discussion about the ghost outside the window?

I changed the topic back and asked Han Xin, "Lawyer Han, are you sure it was Fang Zhibin who was outside the window just now?" ”

Han Xin said hesitantly: "I...... I'm not sure, I just have a feeling that maybe I'm wrong. ”

Anyway, it's a ghost, but it's also possible that Fang Zhibin is haunted. Could it be for revenge? Because among the other seven people present, it is very likely that there is a high-minded accomplice, that is, the murderer who personally killed Fang Zhibin and others.

There are more and more suspicions, and I definitely can't stay here and wait any longer. So I looked at the others and said, "Let's go out and have a look, it's not too early, you'd better go back to your room and lock the door." Of course, if you are interested, you can also follow us. ”

"What about the corpse of the Yellow Crane Tower?" Han Xin asked worriedly.

"Just throw it here, and try to keep the scene as much as possible." I said, "I'll find a waiter and I'll open a room for you later, anyway, there are vacant rooms." ”

"Then I'll pack up my things first." Han Xin deliberately bypassed the corpse and hurriedly packed her luggage, and she didn't know if she was nervous or afraid, her movements were very flustered.

In the end, Gao Ze, Marco and Lei Peng didn't plan to go out again, and went back to their rooms to rest. Han Xin didn't want to go out to investigate, but she had to find a waiter to open a new room first, and for safety, Miyamoto offered to accompany her. Only Chen Mingyi was willing to accompany me and Lin Sikai to check all over the ship.

Our troops split up in three directions and dispersed in three different directions. After the bump just now, the cruise ship is now moving very smoothly, and we came to the location where the ghost appeared, but we did not find any residual yin qi. It's no wonder that if the ghost stays for a short time, it won't take long for the yin energy to dissipate, and the time we just discussed is enough to do that.

I didn't have much hope at first, anyway, now it's almost certain that there is a yin at work on the cruise ship, and it doesn't matter if you can find yin qi or not. Moreover, the cruise ship is too big, and it is even more so that there will be wind and waves at any time, and it is impossible for us to track down the yin through the yin qi.

Wang Tianyi came out more than ten minutes earlier than us, and now there is no trace at all. But I don't

Don't worry about him, firstly, he has great ability, secondly, I hate him, even if something really happens to him, I will care for him out of conscience at most.

We were about to wander around when we saw the crew member who had reported to the captain and ran over in a panic. When he saw us, he immediately stopped, gasped and said anxiously: "There is an accident in the control room, you guys go and take a look!" ”

The three of us were startled and trotted all the way to the control room, only to find that the door of the control room had been locked from the inside, and we couldn't push it open. And the control room was pitch black, and the lights were deliberately turned off.

I shone my flashlight through the glass on the door, only to see that there was nothing inside, no one was driving the boat!

"Knock on the door!" Chen Mingyi hurriedly proposed.

The four of us men slammed together, and it took a long time for us to slam the locked door open. Inside, as I had just seen, the captain who was supposed to be driving the ship was gone, and the control room was empty.

The crew was tinkering with the rudder for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed: "The course has been set, and now the cruise ship is autonomously automated!" And...... This is not our original route! ”

"The crew is gone, and everything is the same as last time, just a little faster." Chen Mingyi said to himself.

"I can't change the route!" The crew member was so flustered that no matter what he did, it didn't work, "The system is locked, and only the captain has permission to change it." ”

"Don't worry, let's go back and find the captain again." I comforted him.

Although I knew in my heart that finding the captain was unlikely, everything that happened tonight seemed to have been planned a long time ago. Murders, disappearing bodies, ghosts outside the window, missing captains, deviating from the course...... Strange events happen one after another, which is even more exciting than a horror movie.

We returned to the cabin, both to find the captain and to inform the others of the current situation. But as soon as we entered the door, we bumped into Han Xin and Miyamoto, who also looked weird. Han Xin, in particular, was pacing in the corridor non-stop, looking at a loss.

When she saw us returning, she immediately told another bad news: "The waiter is gone, we have searched everywhere, and we have also rang the service bell, but we can't contact him." ”

"He's missing too? It won't be my turn next, will it? Hearing this, the remaining crew members immediately shouted in panic.

"Who else is missing?" Miyamoto asked.

"The captain is gone." I replied truthfully, "This cruise ship is driving itself according to the pre-set route!" ”
