The door opened a crack, and I pushed the door and saw that Wang Tianyi opened the door and walked back to the position of the bed to organize daily necessities. He had brought a suitcase for travel, which was lying on the ground open, and it was mainly some clothes and daily necessities. There's also a small bag in the suitcase, bulging I don't know what it contains, I guess it might be a ghost-hunting tool like a spirit rune.

As soon as I saw his tugging expression, I was angry and asked unhappily, "Hey, what are you looking for us?" ”

"When did I look for you?" Wang Tianyi's tone was very disdainful, as if we were making our own feelings.

I sneered, "Then who has been hiding at the top of the stairs and peeking?" Could it be that we just saw the hell? ”

Wang Tianyi was also not to be outdone: "I just want to see if you two are too scared to get on the boat." Anyway, I can still solve the case alone, and it's not a big deal to take you to lie down and win. ”

Listening to his tone, I was even more enraged, and said angrily: "Okay, let's go our separate ways, and don't disturb anyone." Don't say that we bully you a lot, when we solve the case first, I will see what kind of face you have as the 'first person'. ”

"Why don't you make a bet?" Wang Tianyi smiled wickedly.

"Bet on what?"

"Just bet on solving this case!" Wang Tianyi stared at me and said fiercely, "If you lose, stay away from Senior Sister Lin, you are not worthy of her." It's the same if I lose. ”

I was shocked when I heard this, I didn't expect him to use Lin Siqi as a bet, but I also saw that he was plotting against Lin Siqi. If I retreat now, what kind of man am I?

I gritted my teeth and said, "I'll bet with you, don't say that there are too many of us when the time comes, and then you won't admit it!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm not a shameless person."

"That...... Take the liberty of excuse me. Lin Sikai suddenly interjected, "I also want to join your gamble." ”

"Haven't you been in the game all the time?" I looked at Lin Sikai with a puzzled face.

Lin Sikai scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I mean...... The three of us gambled, and no one helped anyone. ”

I exclaimed, ", there's a ghost, terminate the transaction?" ”

Lin Sikai's eyes were full of apologies, and he explained to me: "Third brother, it's not that I rebelled, I just want to compare with the two of you." ”

Wang Tianyi suddenly laughed out loud, looked at Lin Sikai and said, "Haha, interesting, it's really that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers." What is your name? ”

"Lin Sikai."

Wang Tianyi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This name is also quite interesting...... Okay, I'll bet with you, but what can you bet with us? ”

Lin Sikai said without hesitation: "If I solve the case first, the two of you must tell the circle that this case was solved by Lin Sikai of the unified faction, and you all lost to me." If I lose, you can make any conditions. ”

"Deal, I haven't thought about the conditions yet, I'll talk about it then." Wang Tianyi agreed without saying a word.

Lin Sikai looked at me again, of course I wouldn't refuse. Although I can understand his mutiny-like behavior, I am still a little speechless. We just got on the boat, and our team was torn apart first?

Not long after the bet was made, the Princess also set sail. We were just about to go back to the room, but Wang Tianyi suddenly shouted

With a bang, he took out a note and said, "Go back to the room and see, did you also receive such a note?" ”

The note reads: Beware of the Yellow Crane Tower.

I said in my heart, isn't this Teng Wang Pavilion sowing discord?

"I've seen it, the Yellow Crane Tower is one of the seven detectives, and the room is in the innermost." Wang Tianyi explained.

Subsequently, Lin Sikai and I went back to our rooms, and we really picked up the same note on the ground, which should have been stuffed in by someone through the crack in the door below. I just don't know, is the note only the three of us new people who have received it? Or is it one for everyone on board?

At eight o'clock in the evening, the agreed meeting time arrived. The meeting point is the cruise ship's lobby, which is where you normally meet and watch the show. The cruise ship has three floors, the lowest level is the outdoor deck, the second level is our cabin, and the top level is the location of various activities. The lobby is adjacent to the restaurant, located in the middle of the top floor, and the décor is entirely European-style, which can be described as magnificent.

On the ceiling in the middle of the lobby, there is a huge chandelier that illuminates the hall of nearly 100 square meters. The stage, which was supposed to be lively, was now empty, and it was clear that this was not a normal journey, and we could not enjoy the entertainment that a cruise ship should have. There are only a few scattered sofas in the lobby, as this is not a place for visitors to rest. When I arrived, there were already a few people sitting on the couch, and next to me stood a waiter, ready to call us.

By 8:10 a.m., all the people had arrived one after another. Counting one waiter, there were a total of eleven people in the lobby at this time, Lin Sikai and I were standing together, and the rest of the people were scattered, and it seemed that they were all on guard.

Miyamoto was the first to walk to the center of the hall and said, "Since everyone is here, let's introduce each other first." We have three new friends who are here to deal with the paranormal event like the Ghost Ship. ”

"Three big jumpers?" A middle-aged man sitting on the sofa started laughing at us, and later we heard from him that he was a forensic doctor named Gao Ze.

No wonder he questioned us, if even forensic doctors believed in ghosts and gods, how could they dare to dissect corpses?

"Mouthy!"

I saw Wang Tianyi muttering a sentence beside him, and then with a flick of his wrist, he shot out a spirit rune and quietly stuck it on Gao Ze's back, of course he couldn't say a word. He could only open his mouth but couldn't make a sound, so frightened that he himself broke out in a cold sweat.

Miyamoto noticed the talisman paper behind him, took the initiative to walk over and peel it off, and laughed softly: "It seems that people have real skills." ”

"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost!" Gao Ze definitely couldn't accept it for a while, and hid in a corner angrily. Even he couldn't explain why he couldn't speak.

Next, everyone introduced each other. If rooms 1-5 are on the left side of the hallway and rooms 6-10 are on the right side of the hallway, then the guests in each room are:

Room 1, Yellow Crane Tower, is a private detective by profession, but it looks more like a paparazzi, and his body is very thin.

Room 2, Gao Ze, a forensic doctor who does not believe in evil.

Room 3, Wang Tianyi, the stupid hanging of the Pure Fu faction.

Room 4, I, a beautiful man with a good demeanor.

Room 5, Miyamoto, is also currently a private investigator and works closely with the police.

Room 6, Marco, a best-selling mystery writer, graduated from Jinghua University.

Room 7, Lei Peng, the youngest professor of criminal psychology in China.

Room 8, Chen Mingyi, captain of the criminal police of Island City.

Room 9, Lin Sikai, that is, lives opposite me.

Room 10, Han Xin, the only woman present, is a lawyer by profession.

It's no exaggeration to say that almost everyone here has a big background. If you want to say who is more abrupt, there may only be the Yellow Crane Tower, but no matter how people say it, they are also professional detectives. The mastermind behind the scenes brought such a group of people together twice in a row, as if it was a plot that only exists in a movie.

As for the three people who died before, two were police officers, one of them was even a municipal leader, and the third person also used to be a police officer. It is said that their feud with Gao Yuan stems from a case of malfeasance, and Gao Yuan's best friend in his life died because of it.

I don't know what special significance is the arrangement of the room, I heard them say that this time is different from the last time, it is like a random mess, and there is no pattern at all.

Now, all ten people are gathered in the lobby, and after some introduction, they don't know what to do next.

"The restaurant has prepared food for everyone, and those who need it can go to eat."

The waiter's reminding words put an end to the awkward meeting. I've been a little hungry for a long time, as the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, you can't just treat yourself if nothing happens, right?

There were many people who had the same thoughts as me, and a group of people walked to the dining room one after another, and sat in a room that could have held nearly 100 people, as if they were all wary of each other.

My Healing Game

Although the decoration of the cruise ship is Scandinavian style, the food prepared in the restaurant is authentic Chinese cuisine. There are all four major cuisines in Sichuan, Lu, Huai and Guangdong, and I saw that the guest chef in the back kitchen was a waiter and a crew member, and there was no professional chef on the cruise ship.

Originally, Lin Sikai and I were the only ones sitting at the same table, but after Miyamoto chose the meal, he sat with us for some reason.

"Mr. Miyamoto, is there something to ask us for?" I asked straight to the point.

Miyamoto smiled and said, "I'm just curious about you, you are obviously better at communicating with your companion. ”

I said flatly, "Actually, we are just college students who have not yet entered society, so Mr. Miyamoto doesn't need to be wary of us." ”

"You're mistaken." Miyamoto smiled, "I'm just interested in paranormal arts. I've seen these kinds of movies before, and I know that there are yin-yang and Taoist techniques, but I never took them seriously until I encountered the ghost ship. ”

"It's normal." I say.

"Do you think all the ghosts we see on the ghost ship? How did we get to the ghost ship? Miyamoto asked one after another.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I can't judge." I sneered, raised the corners of my mouth and said, "It could be a ghost, it could be your hallucination, or it could be ...... It's you collectively lying. ”

Miyamoto laughed loudly when he heard this: "Haha, you're right, no one can get rid of suspicion, I think you really have the potential to be a detective." ”

"Mr. Miyamoto, I have a question for you too." Lin Sikai said.

"I want to hear about it."

Lin Sikai immediately asked: "You have already obtained one-fifth of Gao Yuan's property, why do you still want to get on this ship?" ”
