When Bai Xiao's voice fell, Lu Chang was obviously stiff, and he was a little sluggish for a moment.

Is there a mistake? He's dead? Lu Chang remembered the fat uncle who was still talking and laughing just now, remembering his humorous and calm voice, his round and cute fat face, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and his body trembling like chaff.

Fake, right? Feed! How can you kill someone so easily? It's a joke, right? If so, take it back! The joke isn't funny at all!

"We'll go back now." The candle is calm, or rather calm.

"The road is smooth, the road is smooth." She pressed Lu Chang's shoulder and shook it gently, "It's too late to be afraid, Lu Chang." ”

Lu Chang didn't realize that he was already soaked in cold sweat.

"It's for me... Are we coming? Candle? Lu Chang's mouth trembled nervously.

"I don't know." Candle shook her head slightly.

"Let's go." She reached out and grabbed Bai Xiao's cold hand, who closed his lips tightly and turned pale. Candle turned his head and said to Lu Chang: "Spend the night at your place tonight, and talk about the rest tomorrow morning." ”

They returned to the 11th floor from the elevator, the elevator doors slowly opened, and the corridor directly opposite was still dimly lit with warm yellow lights, and the end was as hazy as black fog, and a yellow cordon was faintly visible.

When they reached the entrance of the hallway, police officers stopped them.

"I need you to show your ID information, this gentleman, and two ladies." The police officer guarding the door said politely.

Lu Chang took out his visa and room card and handed them to him. The man quickly glanced at the name bar.

"You're Lu Chang?"

Lu Chang nodded blankly.

"Mr. Lu, about the details of the murder, the security assistant will ask you in a moment."

"Can you wait for him in the guest room?"

"Absolutely."

Tang Chen became more and more confused. He thought that a breakthrough in the incident had appeared, and he was so sure of his reasoning, but when he asked Qi Duo again, his answer made Tang Chen feel incredible but extremely reasonable. Could it really be that girl did it? Is it necessary? For what purpose?

The walkie-talkie rang suddenly.

"Tang Chen, Lu Chang and his party are back, they are in 1104."

"Wait a minute, I'll be right over." Tang Chen put on his coat and gently closed the office door.

The security office is on the ninth floor. Except for the office, which was still glowing, there was only a dead silence on the whole floor. Tang Chen quickly climbed to the 11th floor and knocked on the door of 1104.

"Who is it?"

"Mr. Lu, I'm an assistant in the Security Department."

"Wait a minute."

Tang Chen heard the snapping sound of slippers running, from far to near. The door opened outward, and it was a tall and thin boy who opened the door, and Tang Chen felt a little familiar.

"Dealer boy?" Lu Chang shouted in surprise.

Tang Chen finally remembered, he looked into the house, and sure enough, the spirit girl was also there.

"Let's go in and talk." He closed the door.

Candle sat on the couch near the floor-to-ceiling window, casually flipping through the book in her hand. Bai Xiao was lying on the bed listening to the song, and when she heard the voice of the assistant of the security department, she quickly stood up, tidied up the folds of her clothes, and sat down next to the candle.

"Hello, my name is Tang Chen."

After introducing each other, the four of them took their seats.

"When was the last time you saw Hu Hai?" Tang Chen opened his notebook and asked.

"At dinner, I haven't seen you since."

"Did he say anything at the time?"

"It seems that I want to go to the bar with Zhang Xiao for a few drinks."

"Hmm." Tang Chen was thoughtful.

"Lu Chang, has anyone asked you to borrow the key, or have you ever borrowed it from others?"

"Keys? What key? ”

"The key to 1101. The place where the body of the deceased Hu Hai was found. ”

"Nope." Lu Chang replied decisively.

"Okay." Tang Chen closed the notebook, "Because Qi Duo said that after he fell, the key was lost at the door of 1104, and then he searched for a long time and picked it up." However, we found this in the bar on the tenth floor. ”

Tang Chen raised the evidence bag in his hand, and inside was a copper pattern key.

"The general guest room is open with a room card, but only this 1101 next to the grocery room is different, and it is a very old room type." Tang Chen observed the reactions of the three of them while explaining, "This is the key that Qi Duo lost in the bar. Therefore, the key that Qi Duo picked up was not his own. ”

"Whose is that?"

"Zhou Yi's."

"I remember Zhou Yi told me that she had a quarrel with Qi Duo and went back to the guest room early." Bai Xiao, who had been silent, suddenly interjected.

"That's right. If it was Zhou Yi's key, how did she enter the guest room? Ruling out the possibility that she had left the key at the door of 1104 after opening it, she had no such reason. ”

"But if she enters the door, it will be an absolute secret room." Lu Chang has also seen Benge's reasoning.

"She'll put her matter aside for a while, and then it's out of my personal question, you can not answer it." Tang Chen pinned the pen to the notebook, put it on the table, and asked, "Are you involved?" Lin Candle? You just have to answer, and I will not report it to the Legislative Council. ”

"Is this the result of your reasoning?" Candle looked at Tang Chen seriously.

"I just want to know which way of thinking to use to infer whether the spirit world or the science world."

"Even if it's not me, it's hard for you to tell if there are other spirits involved."

"What do you mean? Are there other spirits on this ship? ”

The talisman that was given to Bai Xiao by candle on the plane perfectly concealed her identity, and Tang Chen naturally couldn't see it.

"If we can be here, why can't others?" Candle looked away from her, "And I don't believe you, please go back." ”

Tang Chen wanted to speak and stopped, he thought silently in his heart. That's right, it's an option. The other party obviously came prepared, and he couldn't ask anything based on his own clichés. Do you want to tell them who you are to gain trust? Or is it a lie? How can we learn more from them? For a moment he hesitated.

Lu Chang had already stood up and was ready to see off the guests.

Tang Chen seemed to be ruthless and said, "I am from the Legislative Council. Legislative Council Detective Tang Chen. ”

"Why are you on this ship?" Candle began to ask rhetorically.

"Follow up the case. What is your purpose? ”

"Mission."

Victory or defeat is only a thought. Tang Chen decided to take this risk.

"I'm tracking down the Knife and Axe Group."

When he saw the surprise on Lu Chang's face, he knew that he had made the right bet. Sure enough, these people can't be the people of the knife and axe group that they tracked down, even if they are disguised, the woman over there and this person named Lu Chang are too immature. Luckily, I guessed it right, otherwise, I wouldn't have wanted to get out of here today.

"The intelligence officers at the headquarters received information that the current steward and executioner of the Knife and Axe Group had booked the ship a few days ago, so they sent me to investigate." Tang Chen continued.

"Then it looks like we might have the same purpose." Candle stretched out his hand, "Moon Society, Lin Candle." ”

Hey, hey, why did you say it so easily, what if this person is a liar? Lu Chang was so crazy in his heart.

"It's a friend of the Moon Society, is President Changle okay?" Obviously, Tang Chen also knew Changle.

"Madame is fine." Candle replied briefly, and asked randomly, "Why do you want to be a dealer?" ”

"Originally, the organization was arranged to be a security assistant, but I wanted to make some extra money." Tang Chen spread his hands, "The salary is not as high as your business, and people have to consider firewood, rice, oil and salt." ”

"What day did the housekeeper buy the ticket? I need a specific time. ”

"I want to think about it... September 17th. ”

"Ah, I bought the ticket that day, too." Bai Xiao said in surprise.

In fact, Bai Xiao was full of doubts, but she could see that it was inconvenient to ask now.

"Lu Chang." Candle shouted softly.

"How?"

"Send a message to Madame and say that the other party is from the Sword and Axe Group."

"Wait a minute, in other words, the Knife and Axe Group is targeting you." Tang Chen asked.

"It's her." Candle pointed at Bai Xiao, "But I don't know what they're going to do yet, maybe Madame will tell us." ”

"Then why do you want to do it to Hu Hai? Creating chaos and panic? ”

"I don't know."

Lu Chang was already sending a message to Changle. The biggest enemy of the Moon Society is by his side, he is completely out of idea at the moment, and Lin Zhu is their only backbone. It's too late to be afraid, it's too late to be afraid, Lu Chang keeps comforting himself in his heart. What's more, Changle will definitely not let them go, definitely not.

The text message was sent, and five full minutes passed, and there was no response.

"Did Changle go to bed early?" Lu Chang looked at Lin Candle.

"No, as soon as the mustard seed has information feedback, Madame will have a sense." Candle couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"They're not in danger too." Lu Chang asked.

"There's Amy at school, it's unlikely."

"I think the top priority is to find Zhang Xiao." Tang Chen opened his mouth and said, "Whether it is the spiritual world or the scientific world, now Zhang Xiao is the last person to see Hu Hai." ”

"You mean, Zhang Xiao is missing?" Candle asked.

"His wife Chen Jiali came to the security department just now, about ten o'clock." Tang Chen glanced at his watch, "It's ten twenty-five now, probably thirty minutes ago." At that time, she dragged the security director and cried loudly, Zhang Xiao was gone. ”

"What does it mean to be gone?" Lu Chang didn't quite understand.

"Since I drank with Hu Hai, I haven't come back, and WeChat has not replied. We sent everyone to investigate in various locations, but so far, there is still no news of Zhang Xiao. ”

"Your mustard seeds are pseudo-spirits, aren't they? It's a bit offensive, but I hope you can help us. Tang Chen said sincerely.

"I can try." Candle nodded.

"Great! So we start with..."

The walkie-talkie on Tang Chen's body suddenly emitted a violent noise, accompanied by the sound of someone talking, intermittently, and it sounded very unclear.

"Hey, hey?" Tang Chen tried to communicate with that side.

"Tang Chen, come to the captain's room." It was the voice of the security officer, and it was cut off. After that, his voice was no longer heard, only the sound of electricity.

"I'll go to the captain's quarters." Tang Chen got up.

"We'll go too." Candle said, "I kind of get the idea. ”
