I don't know why, I've always been very hostile to Wang Tianyi. Maybe it's because of his title of "the first person of the younger generation" that I am very unconvinced, or maybe ...... It's because of someone else.

"Third brother, he is Wang Tianyi, who is known as the 'first person of the younger generation', right?" At this time, Lin Sikai asked me.

I said disdainfully: "The nostrils are all facing the sky, who else can it be." ”

Lin Sikai didn't talk again, but thought silently in his heart: I actually handled the case with these two people, then I must compare with you this time, who can solve the case first!

"Let's go, find a place to stay overnight." I called Lin Sikai, who was standing aside and pondering, and together we found a hotel nearby. In the evening, with a shriveled stomach, we found a barbecue stall nearby to discuss the case by the way.

Although it's already September, the weather is not cold yet, and there are still many old men who are bragging bare-chested while masturbating on skewers at night. In such a noisy sound, it can just drown out the sound of me talking with Lin Sikai, but I don't have to worry about being overheard by others.

"Twenty lamb kebabs, ten baked potatoes, ten grilled rolls, five Orleans grilled wings." I took the menu and ordered some regular skewers, and then asked Lin Sikai, "What else do you want to order?" ”

"Take another copy of his." Lin Sikai said.

I opened my mouth wide and asked in surprise, "I ordered what we both ate." ”

Lin Sikai nodded and said, "I know, but doesn't it say that it's full two hundred, and the drinks are free?" ”

"You're still drinking?"

Lin Sikai smiled slightly: "I don't drink it, you just wait and see." ”

I was confused by his answer, what the hell was he going to do? After a while, the skewers were all ready, and I saw Lin Sikai running to a table next to him with a handful of skewers and a few bottles of beer, and he was polite to others.

There were three men at the table, and I looked closely at their clothes and saw that there were sailors' suits taken off on the stool next to them. There's only one dock nearby, so even if they're not part of the Princess's crew, they're supposed to be the same cruise line. It was obviously impossible for Lin Sikai to know them, so after he noticed this, he wanted to get close to them, and the purpose was naturally to inquire about the news.

It seems that in terms of observation, Lin Sikai may be stronger than me.

About ten minutes later, Lin Sikai said goodbye to them with a smile and returned to our table. I hurriedly asked him, "What did you find out?" ”

Lin Sikai said slowly: "I'm right, they do belong to the same cruise company as the Princess, but the crew of other ships. They only hearsay about what happened on the Princess, but after the Princess returned, some bizarre things happened. ”

"What is it?"

"According to the cleaners, there are strange figures on the Princess, and sometimes things move out of position for no apparent reason."

"Is it haunted?" I say.

Lin Sikai nodded and said, "Maybe." ”

When the Princess returned, it was still haunted. I just don't know if this ghost is the one that the detectives encountered on the surface of the sea, or the person who was killed last time?

Later, Lin Sikai and I chatted for a while, and I remembered what he hadn't finished in the bedroom corridor before, so I brought up the old thing again: "By the way, what happened to your master last time?" ”

Lin Sikai smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that it's been missing for more than a year, and since then, the Guiyi faction has been scattered." ”

"No news at all?"

"Nope." Lin Sikai's mood was a little low.

"Don't be discouraged, I'm sure you'll find a clue." I comforted him and said, "My master also disappeared, and I later learned that it was because of the incident in Gongga Mountain. ”

"I know, that's your famous work, outwitting Masher Demba!"

After that, it was all small talk, Lin Sikai drank at another table, and said some wine words with drunkenness, and finally I took him back to the hotel.

The estimated departure time for the Princess is 7 p.m. the next day, with boarding starting at 5 p.m. According to the people of the cruise company, the crew of the cruise ship this time were all the original team of the Princess, because after Gao Yuan chartered the cruise ship last time, he also appointed the personnel arranged by himself to take over. Therefore, the missing crew members and waiters were actually people sent by Gao Yuan.

Lin Sikai and I found a hotel nearby for one night and walked to the pier in the evening of the day of departure. Due to the construction of the road around the hotel, we were delayed for a while, and when we boarded the ship, we heard from the staff that all but us were all there.

The ticket inspector was a young girl, and a boy in a crew costume had been accompanying her, and the two looked like a couple. When we got on the boat, they said goodbye reluctantly, and the girl said to the boy affectionately, "You must come back safely." ”

The boy nodded solemnly at her, his eyes full of determination, as if he were on the battlefield.

Stepping on the ferry, a waiter guided us to the cabin to rest, and the crew just walked in the direction of the cruise ship's control room.

I remembered the scene just now, and I couldn't help but stop him and ask, "Why do you still want to get on the boat when such a terrible thing happened on the ship before, and your girlfriend is so worried about you?" ”

The young crew turned back to me and said, "Someone paid ten times the price to get off the ship." ”

Ten times? I was amazed, it seemed that the other party was really generous, and it was no wonder that the crew would risk their work. If those detectives are crazy, then these crew members are at best greedy and lucky.

As we passed by the deck, we saw a man standing on the side of the boat looking into the distance. He's one of the seven detectives — and while not all of them are detectives, we're all calling them that. It's just that the case information this time seems to be deliberately more difficult, and there is no introduction to the previous ten people, so I don't know who he is.

I was about to go up and say hello, but I heard him turn his back to us and be the first to whisper, "Fifteen more people." I don't know how many people will get off the ship alive this time. ”

Although it has not yet set sail, the sea breeze at this time is already a little intoxicating, and the sunset has long been covered by the sea.

I walked up behind the man and asked, "What do you call him?" ”

He turned around and smiled slightly: "My name is Miyamoto, you can call me Miyamoto." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and my heart said I don't call you Miyamoto, what else can I call, Musashi? Or Kojiro?

"Just kidding, in fact, acquaintances call me Lao Gong." Miyamoto's smile looked attractive, "What about the two of you?" ”

I said in my heart, how can you take advantage of people when we meet for the first time? Then he introduced him: "My name is Chen Rong, Lao Chen. This is my companion Lin Sikai, Lao Lin. ”

"Hello." Lin Sikai greeted politely.

"The second old man is good." Miyamoto nodded at him as well, and then asked, "Speaking of which, we're half a colleague, right?" We are detectives investigating Xing Detective's case, and you are the Dealing Spirits

If it is a different event, it is considered ...... Psychic detectives? ”

I asked, somewhat surprised, "How do you know who we are?" ”

"I saw the rune paper on your companion who came here first, oh yes, you should call it a 'rune', right?"

"Names are secondary, as long as you call them anything. The point is, how do you know we're with him? ”

Miyamoto's explanation made me even more skeptical. I believe that with Wang Tianyi's empty-eyed character, it is impossible to take the initiative to tell others that he and the two people who have not yet boarded the boat are companions, so how did Miyamoto know?

Miyamoto raised the corners of his mouth proudly and explained in detail: "Because he is a new face, I specially asked him if he knew the remaining two people." His answer was, 'I guess I know.'" This was strange to me, and I soon found out that he would look in the direction of the boarding gate from time to time, and I thought he must be waiting for you, when in fact you should be companions, but he didn't know you very well. He's standing at the top of the cabin staircase. ”

We followed the direction pointed by Miyamoto, and sure enough, we saw Wang Tianyi. He pretended to be nonchalant, but everyone could see at a glance that he was clearly concerned about the situation on our side.

My Healing Game

I couldn't help but be amazed by Miyamoto's reasoning ability, and chuckled, "No wonder only you can deduce the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes." Speaking of which, I'm curious how you deduced that person is lofty, would you like to hear it? ”

Since Miyamoto's name is only mentioned in the case materials, I also deliberately checked it on the Internet. This Miyamoto is indeed a relatively famous detective, who worked as a police officer in his early years, and after resigning, he will be invited to become a criminal investigation consultant in the police department from time to time. I'm not surprised that he was able to deduce that the mastermind behind the scenes was Gao Yuan, but I was just curious about his reasoning process.

"Actually, he gives us a lot of tips every day, and I just caught these clues, and I don't want to worry about them." Miyamoto obviously didn't plan to say more, so he suddenly got up and walked in the direction of the cabin, saying as he walked, "It's about to leave, and it's very windy today, so let's go back and rest as soon as possible." By the way, just now everyone decided to meet in the lobby at eight o'clock. ”

"Why is it up to everyone to decide, isn't there an arrangement on the cruise?" Lin Sikai asked.

"Yes, I heard from the staff that the employer did not make any arrangements this time, and they only need to be responsible for our food, clothing and daily life."

Lin Sikai and I immediately looked at each other. Although we all know that the next ten days will certainly not be peaceful. But no one thought that the other party didn't make any arrangements, so wouldn't we have to wait?

Instead of worrying, Lin Sikai said happily: "It's really getting more and more interesting, we are now like lambs in the sun, and the evil wolf in the shade of the tree is eyeing us." ”

I sighed with emotion: "The evil wolf in the shade of the tree wants to eat is not us, but the evil ghost in the shade of the tree has something to do with us." ”

"That's right." Lin Sikai nodded, "Go back to the room?" ”

"If you don't go back yet, isn't someone waiting for us?" I chuckled and glanced at the top of the stairs, where the guy I had been standing there was gone.

Lin Sikai understood, and the two of us went up the stairs to the corridor of the cabin, and found that the names of the residents were pasted on the doors on both sides, one for one person, and there were also two of us, obviously to guide everyone into their own rooms.

"Who said it wasn't arranged?" I sneered, "Isn't the location of the room just the arrangement?" ”

Instead of going back to our respective rooms, we walked to Wang Tianyi's door and knocked lightly on the hatch.
