Chapter 304: Thriller
Captain Fanst chuckled when he heard the news that someone was dead, there were dead again, two more died tonight, if the murderer was not found out earlier, at the current speed, I am afraid that by the time it comes to Andory City, the people on board will be almost dead.
Arriving at the lower class, Fanster inquired about the situation, collected some information, and learned that the two men had gone out at night, had been to the deck, and then had broken through the door in the lower class, saying that it was a door, but in fact their things had been stolen, so they went to the other people's rooms to find the lost items.
Of course, it was unpleasant to have trouble with other passengers in lower class, after all, no one would be happy if they were treated as thieves.
However, it is impossible for these passengers to kill these two people because they are considered thieves, and the motive is somewhat insufficient.
Fanster asked them what the two lower-class passengers had lost, and they all said in unison that it was a brooch. These two people didn't have a holiday with other people, so I'm afraid they didn't kill any humans, which made Fanst a little frightened in his heart, he had been trying to avoid guessing that the murderer was not human, but now it seemed that this murderer was probably a monster who killed people randomly.
Just when Fanster was a little frightened in his heart, at this time, two crew members provided Fanster with a clue.
The clue was that the two deceased had been on deck during the day and had a confrontation with the rickety young man named Kangtai, who seemed to be trying to beat them.
As if grasping at the straw at once, Fanst ordered the first mate to bring this ugly and deformed young man to him, and this young man made a deep impression on Fanst, because he was not only deformed, but also very ugly, not to mention that he had a gloomy face all the time, which made people very uncomfortable.
And most importantly, Fanster remembered that the person who found the four bodies last night was none other than this gloomy-looking teenager.
Kang Tai came to Fanst's face, leaning over, his face was still gloomy, and he said in an extremely hoarse voice: "I am not a murderer. β
"You're not a murderer?" Fanst's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a cold voice: "Then you tell me, what were you doing when these two people died?" Is there any evidence of an alibi? β
The time of their death was about half an hour earlier, and Contee was a little silent when he heard Fanst's questioning.
Seeing that Kang Tai didn't speak, Fanst felt more and more that the young man in front of him was probably the murderer, and his face showed a trace of coldness, Fanst stretched out his hand and beckoned the first mate, and said, "Take two people to search his room to see if there are any murder weapons." β
The first mate nodded, and led the two to his room, the atmosphere was very quiet, everyone looked at the young man in horror, and their eyes seemed to say that they knew that he was the murderer.
Without saying much, the first mate walked over with a nervous face, whispered a few words to Fanst, Fanst's face changed, and ordered two people to take Kangtai and follow him and the first mate to a small room.
Inside the room, two crew members stood in front of a box with a look of horror.
Fanster walked in, looked at the two of them, then took a deep breath and opened the wooden box.
I saw a figure lying quietly inside, this person was none other than Leon, a young man who had been missing for a day.
Fanst personally touched the boy's snort, and found that he was still breathing, so he breathed a sigh of relief, at this time the crew on the side pointed to a stack of rough papers next to him, Fanst opened it, and his face changed greatly.
I saw that this stack of papers were all sketched pencil drawings, if it was an ordinary painting, Fanst would naturally not panic, but the content of these paintings was a corpse, and the death of these corpses was strange and strange. There are two paintings, one of the four corpses from last night, and the other of the two bodies that have just been discovered. Not to mention the painting of the murder scene last night, let's just say that the painting of the two corpses that happened tonight is exactly the same as the murder scene.
Fanst knew that from the discovery of the body just now to the present, this Kangtai has always been at the scene of the crime, and this time he is not the first person to witness the scene of the crime, from the discovery of the body to the present he has not left the scene of the crime, so how did he draw the body?
There are two answers, either he was the first to discover the scene of the murder, but he didn't report it, but came back and painted the picture. Either he was a murderer and came back after the murder and painted this picture.
However, Fanster is more inclined to the second type, the ugly and deformed young man in front of him is the murderer, and the only question now is how he killed these people in a short period of time, it seems that he can only understand when this young man named Leon comes to his senses.
Thinking of the tragic death of someone on his ship for no reason, and it would affect his reputation, he looked at Kang Tai with a cold gaze, Kang Tai still had a gloomy face, and said, "I'm not a murderer!" β
With that, his palms let go, and a crisp voice sounded, and everyone's eyes looked to the ground, where a brooch inlaid with blue gems rolled.
Kang Tai was arrested, and everyone was angry and wanted to kill him, but Captain Fanster had not lost his mind, such a vicious prisoner must be handed over to the authorities, otherwise he would directly execute this person, not only would he not wash away the bad reputation on this ship, but I am afraid that he would also fall into the hands of others, and he is a captain, not the kind of ocean-going ship, and has no law enforcement power.
Now in the Duchy of Riley, the case is also happening in the valley of the Duchy of Riley, so Fanster is ready to go to the next city-state and hand over the vicious Contai to the officials of the Duchy of Riley.
Because Contee killed six people in a row, it was so vicious that it was difficult for ordinary people to guard it, so Fanster personally went to find Lord Finney, and now this person is guarded by Lord Finney's knights.
There were four knights guarding him, and their attitude towards Kangtai was very unfriendly, and at that time, Kangtai threatened the four with a gloomy face: "You all have to die." β
The four of them naturally didn't believe it, so they punched and kicked Kang Tai.
Kang Tai was locked up and threatened others with wild words, and naturally it was also reported, and people felt more and more that this person had reached a certain level of madness, and they were afraid.
After dawn, that Leon woke up, Anne saw Leon wake up, crying with joy, originally Fanst also wanted to ask the young man about Conte, but Leon looked frightened when he heard Conte's name, as if he remembered some terrible things, his face was pale, trembling, and he couldn't ask at all.
The crew still sympathized with the boy named Leon, and whoever could spend a day and a night with this vicious murderer would do the same.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Fanst stopped asking, anyway, he had already identified the murderer.
Could it be that this ugly-looking young man is really the murderer? However, thinking of the other party's weird smile, Lin Fei felt that this person was probably really a madman.
However, Lin Fei still had some doubts, it was understandable that he killed these two people who had slandered him, so what was his motive for killing Foss, Barn and others? Could it be that he was born a psychopath?
If he was born a psychopath, but there are new doubts, how can he kill those people quickly and cleverly in a short period of time? Is he a bloodline warrior or a transcendent? It is said that he is a bloodline warrior but he has no magic patterns on his body, if he is an extraordinary person, then his life is too miserable, and it is a bit inconsistent with the identity of a transcendent person.
If he was just an ordinary person, how did he kill those people?
Can't figure it out.
It's already some distance from Dent City, and a week to go before the next town, and then there's the real lower reaches of the Lena River, which is more rapid. In front of it a tributary will branch off into Lake Burga.
Lake Bulga is said to be the place where the hydra monster Hydra and the water rhinoceros fought, this huge lake is the former battlefield, because the battle was fierce, the sky was dark, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and after Hydra killed the water rhino, this low-lying battlefield became a lake.
It is said that the hydra monster that killed the water rhinoceros at that time was also seriously injured, so it fell asleep on the spot, and when it was sleeping, the blood on its body attracted a large number of creatures, and many creatures drank the blood of the hydra monster and died, and there were also many creatures that evolved, and the legendary green scale python is an ordinary green snake that drank the blood of the hydra and evolved into a super life.
And this legend of Lake Burga is also the sleeping place of the Hydra Monster.
Many people would love to visit Lake Burga, but unfortunately the boat doesn't include it, so most passengers can only sigh.
Andrei was a man who could not stand the loneliness, and he was bored by staying in his room all day, so he put on his shadow robes, walked to the deck, paid for a fishing rod, and prepared to fish.
Even though it's winter and fish are scarce, you can catch a lot of fish just by fishing. He had already fished on Lin Fei's friend's boat before, and Andre had also mastered the skills of fishing.
The people who come to fish are all medium-class people, rich and idle.
When Andre was fishing, Lin Fei also came to pretend to fish, and this time he met Andre very much, in fact, to explain Mr. House's affairs.
Let AndrΓ© know who Mr. House is, lest this reckless creature of darkness accidentally run into him.
Andrei expressed understanding.
While fishing, Lin Fei looked at Tina in a cloak, Tina belonged to the half-orc clan, her physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary humans, Lin Fei taught her some basic basic martial arts, she locked herself in her room every day to study martial arts, and rarely went out.
Because of his sensitive identity, even if he goes out, he sneaks out when there are few people.
Although Lin Fei can't personally guide her now, he told her first, don't be in a hurry to practice martial arts, carefully figure out the martial arts moves, and wait until she arrives in Andory City, and teach her martial arts well.
Tina was a little excited and nodded repeatedly.
Now the whole ship is filled with a relaxed atmosphere, and it is because the murderer has been caught, so everyone's tense nerves have relaxed.
Lin Fei is now pretending to meet Andre by chance, and people of equal status generally meet by chance on the boat, and it is understandable to gossip, if he is alone and does not contact anyone, it is doubtful, so the communication between the two did not attract the attention of others.
The two of them sat for an afternoon, and throughout the afternoon, not a single fish was harvested, and the two could only sigh bad luck.
In the middle of the night, the entire river surface was shrouded in fog, hazy and hazy, making it difficult to see.
Lin Fei sat cross-legged on the bed and let out a slight snoring sound, and suddenly, a "whimper" sound came, hearing this "whimpering" sound, Lin Fei suddenly woke up, and a drop of fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"What a powerful hypnotism!"
Lin Fei was vigilant in his heart, and he fought against this dizzying sound.
He didn't expect that he had always been vigilant, and he didn't even have any vigilance in the first two days, which showed that the strength of the spellcaster was extremely strong.
In fact, at night, he didn't sleep at all, because he was still a little wary of what the suspect named Kangtai said during the day, and Kangtai said that he wanted to take the lives of the knights who were very unfriendly to him, and he wanted to see how this Kangtai killed the knights.
But now he understood that this person named Kang Tai was a very powerful transcendent, and he asked himself that the bloodline warriors who were not weaker than the middle level had all fallen in love with this person's Dao, let alone ordinary people.
And no one along the way found themselves hypnotized at all, which is terrifying.
As he silently swirled his thoughts, he resisted the sound that could penetrate his spirit, and smoke came out of his body, which swirled around his body and turned into a cloud of qi.
It's just that as the voice gets louder and louder, the qi on his body also fluctuates, and the sound goes deep into his mind, the deepest part of his consciousness.
Lin Fei's expression gradually stiffened, his eyes lowered, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, and the qi in his body also dissipated.
Just when Lin Fei was completely unconscious, a little bright light emitted from the deepest part of his consciousness, and a figure with immeasurable brilliance behind his head and the stars of the universe swirled appeared.
This figure suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a cosmic star river in his eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, Lin Fei suddenly woke up.
At this time, the sound of "whimpering" came to an abrupt end.
Lin Fei, who came to his senses, only felt that his whole body was comfortable and his consciousness was clear, as if he had never been so sober. At this time, he realized that he had indeed been hypnotized for the previous two nights.
This kind of hypnotism is very clever, so clever that the hypnotized person doesn't think that he is hypnotized at all, for a simple analogy, Lin Fei feels like he went to bed at night when he was in high school, some classmates are obviously snoring, but he doesn't say much that he wakes up and says that he is not asleep.
In the classmate's consciousness, he didn't seem to be asleep, but to outsiders, he was indeed asleep, but he didn't feel it.
This hypnosis is similar to this situation, two nights ago, before the screams of the person who found the body, the entire ship was hypnotized, but everyone did not know that they were not hypnotized.
In order to verify his idea, Lin Fei took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
Walking to the deck, Lin Fei saw the crew who was originally patrolling the night, walking stiffly on the ship with a horse lantern, he walked to the other party's side, and found that the other party's eyes were blank, like a puppet.
Lin Fei went to the captain's room, only to see that the first mate and several crew members in the captain's room were also sitting there stiffly, playing cards mechanically, and they didn't realize Lin Fei's arrival at all.
