Chapter 11: Murder in the Pool

"It doesn't matter where the fabric is, it's about the knots that are tied up." Yang Wenbin said, wrapped the fabric in his hand around the ankle of the corpse, tied it up again, and showed the results of the tie to the people around him, "Isn't this exactly the same as the knot I just saw?" ”

Several people nodded.

"That's weird." Yang Wenbin innocently stretched out his hands, "I am facing the knot tied by Miss Zhu, how can it be the same as the knot when I found her?" ”

Yan Junli immediately noticed that something was wrong, "Indeed, if Miss Zhu tied it herself, the direction of the knot should be exactly the opposite." ”

Yang Wenbin nodded, then lowered his body and carefully lifted the head of the corpse, "You see the back of the corpse's head, although it has been washed by seawater, there are still obvious traces of blunt blows, which obviously cannot be done by Miss Zhu herself." And look at her nails. Yang Wenbin held up Zhu Bairong's palm again, "There are some crumbs in the nails, I guess it's paint or wall powder, it should have been caught during the struggle with the gangsters." So it seems that Zhu Bairong's death is his infallibility. ”

As soon as Yang Wenbin's conclusion fell, the surroundings immediately became uneasy.

"What, he killed?"

"Who the hell is ......?"

"It's her! She must have killed Bai Rong! As soon as Zhu Zhixin heard the conclusion that he was killed, he suddenly lost control, stood up and pointed at Luo Yan and shouted, "It must be because of the grudge after the stealing of the necklace was exposed, so he found an opportunity to kill Bai Rong!" ”

"What? I—How could I kill someone! Luo Yan jumped up suddenly, and said in a panic, "I, I'm a thief at most, didn't I return the things to you a long time ago?" Don't frame me, I didn't kill anyone! If you want to talk about the murderer, didn't the fat uncle over there keep scolding and scolding, saying that Zhu Bairong might as well drown in the sea! Luo Yan immediately pointed at Zhu Haoran and said.

"What...... Husband, did you really say such a thing? Mao Yingqin looked at Zhu Haoran in disbelief.

"I—I didn't! I didn't say anything like that! Zhu Haoran immediately said in horror, "How could I kill Bai Rong, it's not me, it's not me!" ”

"Nonsense! I heard you say that with my own ears! Luo Yan still didn't give up.

"Okay, okay, everyone, calm down!" Yin Mingxu had to quickly jump out to save the scene and pull a few people away from the corpse, "Let's deal with it here, everyone go back to the hotel to rest, so that there is no point in everyone suspecting each other." ”

"Yes, let's go back to the hotel first." Yang Wenbin also stood up and re-covered the white cloth on the corpse, "Yan Junli and I will definitely find the murderer as soon as possible." ”

The sun shines on the beach, and the tropical plants are particularly vibrant against the backdrop of the sun, no matter from which point of view, this is a very beautiful and leisurely island, but unfortunately there are few tourists on board the Queen, and there is no interest in playing.

"What do you think of Zhu Bairong's matter?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"Me?" Yan Junli thought for a while and said, "It's weird. You know, it has nothing to do with whether that necklace is cursed or not, I mean, Zhu Bairong's death seems to be unreasonable. ”

Yang Wenbin nodded, "Although Zhu Bairong is a little conflicted with her relatives because of the necklace, I don't think they will kill her because of this little thing." Luo Yan is too, although it is very shameless to be exposed and slapped, it should not be murderous. The most important thing is that judging from the wound on the back of Zhu Bairong's head, the murderer should be at least a big man above 1.8 meters, and ...... in our group" Yang Wenbin looked at Yan Junli and said innocently, "Only your height is above 1.8 meters." ”

Yan Junli said helplessly, "This joke is not funny. ”

"So, will the prisoner be greedy for the Zhu family's money and kill him?" Yin Mingxu asked.

Yang Wenbin thought about it and shook his head, "Probably not." If you want to make money, Zhu Bairong is just a young lady, and his uncle Zhu Haoran has much more valuable things. ”

"That'...... What else could be the motivation? Yin Mingxu had no choice but to make a bitter face.

"Let's go back to the ship again, I have something to worry about." Yang Wenbin said.

Yan Junli nodded, "Okay." ”

————————————————————

"It's weird...... Yang Wenbin muttered to himself, stroking the fence on the deck.

"What's wrong?" Yan Junli walked to Yang Wenbin's side.

"There's no sign of struggle around here." Yang Wenbin said, "It stands to reason that Zhu Bairong's body shows that she struggled violently before she died, and there should be traces here." Is this not the scene of the crime? ”

"But this is the only place on the whole ship that is most suitable for abandoning corpses." Yan Junli propped his hands on the railing and looked down, "And we also found Zhu Bairong's cat from here." ”

"Speaking of cats." Yang Wenbin suddenly said, "When we found the cat, was it covered in water and shrunk in the corner? ”

"yes, it's the same as a soup chicken." Yan Junli nodded.

"I see." Yang Wenbin threw down these words and left the deck and walked straight to the cabin.

"What's wrong with Mr. Yang?" Yin Mingxu was inexplicable.

"He does that a lot, just go and take a look." Yan Junli said helplessly.

Yang Wenbin made several turns between the corridor and the stairs, and finally came to the front of the pool. The water in the pool was crystal clear and the surroundings were a little frighteningly quiet. Yang Wenbin first walked around the pool, then squatted down to carefully check something, and finally smiled.

"I guessed right."

"What do you understand again, tell me?" Yan Junli leaned over.

"The cat." Yang Wenbin said, "I thought it was strange at first, how did the hair on its body get wet? It didn't rain for the past two days, and if it was thrown off the boat in a fight with the murderer, it wouldn't be able to climb a tree no matter how high it was. So I thought, maybe the water on the cat has nothing to do with the seawater, but the water from the pool on the boat. ”

"You mean, Zhu Bairong was killed here?" Yan Junli asked.

Yang Wenbin nodded.

"But, but, in a public place like a swimming pool, how can a murderer kill someone? There must be a lot of tourists around, right? Yin Mingxu asked.

Yang Wenbin frowned, looked at Yin Mingxu, and said, "But when all cruise ships are two or three hours away from shore, the pool will be closed, you know." And when Zhu Bairong began to disappear, it was about two or three hours before the ship stopped. I don't know exactly how she got into the pool, but this was undoubtedly the scene of the first crime. The killer, possibly a friend of hers or someone else she knew well, escaped the flight attendants and ran into the pool area. Come and see here. ”

Yang Wenbin squatted down and stroked the railing around him and the tiles of the pool with his fingertips, "The fence on the edge of the pool is freshly painted, but a few places have been cut off, just like the white powder in Zhu Bairong's nails we saw just now. And the tiles here also have traces of being hit by heavy objects, I am afraid that the murderer could not hit it with a single blow, and he missed hitting the tiles, and they all cracked a crack. Moreover, the murder weapon is lying there. ”

Yan Junli and Yin Mingxu immediately followed Yang Wenbin's gaze, and sure enough, there was a heavy wrench lying on the ground not far away.

Yan Junli walked over and picked up the wrench and looked at it carefully, "There are still blood stains on it." ”

Yang Wenbin nodded and stood up from the edge of the pool, "And the previous assumption that the murderer was more than 1.8 meters tall is not true." Judging from these traces, it is very likely that Zhu Bairong is sitting by the pool, and the murderer is standing behind her. If so, the murderer's height will be 'raised' much because of the posture. ”

Yang Wenbin took a few steps back and looked up, "After the prisoner killed or knocked Zhu Bairong unconscious by the pool, Zhu Bairong fell into the water, and even the cat with her fell into the water. Then the murderer casually threw the murder weapon aside and dragged the body with him...... Came this way. ”

Yang Wenbin stood back on the edge of the pool, raised his head, and smiled. The pool is open-air, and at the edge, it's about the same height as on the bow deck.

"Someone with a little more strength can throw the corpse out of here. This outside is directly connected to the sea outside, and it will not be seen by people in other rooms. Yang Wenbin pointed to the board of the boat above his head, on which there were faint traces of blood, "And our murderer seems to be in a hurry when he abandoned the body, and the scene was not cleaned." ”

"It's Mr. Yang." Yin Mingxu said in amazement, "The reasoning is like a movie!" ”

Yang Wenbin smiled a little shyly, "It's not that powerful, it's just an observation." ”

"Alright, that's the way a puzzle is solved." Yan Junli's tone was relaxed, "Great detective, what should we do next?" ”

Yang Wenbin said succinctly, "Go to Zhu Bairong's room and take a look." ”

Yin Mingxu nodded and said, "Come with me, I'll go to the office." ”

Yin Mingxu's office is not large, it is very neat inside, and there are several books and water glasses on the right hand side of the desktop. Yin Mingxu opened the drawer on the left and quickly found one from a bunch of keys.

"Yes, this is the key to Zhu Bairong's door."

But when the three of them opened Zhu Bairong's room and stood outside the door, they were all stunned.

This is completely different from the last time Zhu Bairong's necklace was stolen, and the whole room was turned into a mess. Not only Zhu Bairong's personal belongings were thrown everywhere, but even the utensils equipped on the ship were a mess. The bedding was thrown on the floor, all the drawers were opened, and all the cosmetics, jewelry, and luggage were all everywhere.
