Chapter 128: The Lonely Boat Case

"Death is a disease that spreads to every corner of this ship, and eventually even yourself." Li Yi held his chin with both hands, and there was a warm light leaking from the corners of his slender eyes.

"You say no, locust." He asked playfully.

The ship is dying. Such rumors and anxieties surround everyone's heart, including locusts. Li Yi can see this clearly, and these things can't escape his eyes.

The cause was a homicide. Li Yi likes to use the word "case", and the origin of this habit is so far-reaching, so far-reaching that even he doesn't remember when it started.

"What do you want to say?" At best, the locust could only pretend to be indifferent, of course, he himself understood what was going on.

"One after another, the crew went missing, and the situation on the ship took a turn for the worse. After all, why is there such a thing as a dead man? Could it be that there is something wrong with my high-pressure management? Or is there something that you don't know is premeditated, and this human life is just a declaration of war? Li Yi said a series of inferences, and every time he said a possibility, the locust's face changed the same color, and in the end, his eyes were already bloodshot.

"Mr. Li Yi, I don't want to hear this." Although he was very dissatisfied with Li Yi's tone, the locust endured it and did not attack, but was more polite to Li Yi, because he understood that the only person who could solve this situation now was this young man.

The locust's yacht has now become a veritable ship of death.

As the yacht sailed into the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the stormy waves were raging, and the clear sea suddenly turned into a majestic dark cloud, and the roaring rain clouds almost swallowed the rocking pleasure boat.

The hull of the ship was under the impact of the waves, and there was almost no place on the deck to stand on the cone. Huge waves tugged at the steel cabins, and from the inside, the huge steel skeletons sounded like they were screaming and crying, giving a sense of plaintiveness.

There were only people in the ship that the locust knew, in other words, all of his men. This is Li Yi's inference, although Locust has never said it once, this is his ship, such words, not mentioned once.

From the moment the murder occurred in the morning, there was a strange atmosphere in the ship. Although the locust didn't mention anything, whether it was suspicion or speculation, and gave Lisa a brain, the effect didn't seem to be good.

It wasn't until dinner time that the locusts arrived in the dining room on time. The reason is very simple, all the people on the ship seem to be missing, of course, it is not accurate to say this, it is everyone else except Li Yi who disappeared from the eyes of the locust.

Is the yacht still open? Where have all the people gone? With these two questions in mind, the locust rummaged through all corners of the yacht, and even the captain's cabin at the helm was empty.

The rudder in the captain's cabin flew up and down with the surging storm, but in the eyes of the locust, it was almost as if someone was manipulating, and the black and oppressive waves were desperately washing the windows on all sides, and the locust could easily control the direction of the ship with one hand, but strange doubts surged in his heart.

As Li Yi said, the seeds of this doubt began to grow in his mind. The locust could not read the charts, nor could he steer a ship in a stormy sea, and a terrible picture appeared in his mind.

To confirm this, he quickly came to the cabin of the spare lifeboat. Walking through the cabin, the locust unconsciously quickened his pace, and there was neither sound nor popularity in the deep corridor, and a few words lingered in his mind repeatedly, ghost ship.

After a long time to arrive at the spare compartment of the lifeboat, he didn't bother to rummage for the keys, and the muscles in his arms worked, and he twisted the doorknob. Hearing only the piercing sound of steel twisting, the locust mantis turned pale, and with only two hands tore open the steel gate, and the room was still empty, not even the lights were on.

The locusts took a few steps and took one step, grasping the cable of the rescue chamber, and the four small boats floated side by side on the water in the cabin, and once the outer gate was opened, the boats could leave the yacht without any problems.

Obviously, no one used this method to escape.

The locusts searched along the cabin, room by room, and finally stayed in front of the room in a daze, the bright red blood marks and marks were still vivid, but no matter how the locusts looked for it, it seemed that there was no room left. It's like a dream.

The lightning made a loud noise in the waves, and the light burned the entire gray sky, and for a moment the locust's back was cold, and he pushed open the door of the last bedroom, and with a brush, the black hole was lit up by the lightning.

"What!" The locusts broke out in a cold sweat. Several faces appeared in front of his eyes, but he didn't have any excitement at all, and the tremors and horrors all over his body made him recover.

The locust felt like it had forgotten how to breathe, and even the sound of its suppressed heartbeat in its chest faded away.

Finally, the locust came to the door of the restaurant quietly, his eyes were dull and his expression was indifferent. Li Yi still sat still, holding a book in his hand, he glanced at the locust intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't see it.

"Looks like you're not very popular, locust." Li Yi smiled, closed the book with a snap, and brought out two steaks from the kitchen.

The locust looked at Li Yi suspiciously.

"What is this?" He asked.

"Deboned steak." Li Yi raised the knife in his hand, picked off a small piece of meat, the steel fork in his hand flashed, poked into the meat, the sauce splashed out on the meat steak, he flipped his wrist lightly, and sent the meat piece into his mouth.

"I see that there are only these two pieces of meat left in the kitchen, and I haven't eaten in the afternoon, so I brought them without permission, so it should be fine." Li Yi said so, but his mouth was already chewing on it.

Li Yi handed another piece of meat steak to the locust.

Locust looked at the steak full of sauce, the juice was still steaming, and it looked like it should taste good, and the stimulation of this taste made his taste buds bloom, but he really had no appetite now.

He poked a small piece of meat, turned the fork in his hand around, his eyes swept over Li Yi's face, swallowed his saliva, and finally put down the dishes, his hands trembling.

"No appetite?" Li Yi paused slightly, but there was no pause in his hand, but the amplitude was smaller.

The locust was angry for a moment and said. "Mr. Interests, you...... You don't think there's anything wrong? ”

Li Yi's eyes lit up. "Nope." He confessed.

"If I have to say it, probably you, from today onwards, fear and doubt have been constantly rooted in your heart, and now it may not be anything else, but yourself, what do you think?"

The locust sighed.

"Where have all the guys on the ship gone? There was no one but us. The locust hesitated for a moment and confessed. Lao Tzu originally thought they had run away. ”

"That can't be." Li Yi shook his head. "This is a storm zone, and there are hundreds of nautical miles from the nearest land, even if it is a lifeboat, it is impossible to return to shore smoothly, not to mention that they don't even have supplies, what should they do if they eat and drink? Besides, all of them are missing? Locusts, this is probably a joke. ”

Li Yi seemed to have seen through everything, laughed inappropriately, put another piece of meat in his mouth, and chewed it.

"I confirmed." There was fear in the locust's eyes. "From the deck to the bottom cabin, every single one has been checked, there is really no one, I know this sounds like a joke, but Mr. Li Yi, I need you to analyze it for me now...... Survive from the sea, you and me...... Do you read nautical charts? ”

The words spoken by the locust were already a little incompatible, Li Yi smiled and did not answer directly.

"Is there really no one?" He asked.

"Not a single one." Locusts reconfirmed.

Li Yi stopped the knife and fork in his hand, raised his head, the gaze in his pupils was very sharp, stared at the locust, and said slowly. "Are you really, nobody?"

"I ......" the locust tried to say something, but felt as if its throat was blocked by something, and it couldn't say anything.

"Walking all the way from the cabin, what room is there, is it different from the others?" Li Yi asked.

"This!" The locust's eyes suddenly glowed, but it seemed that his reason had gradually been swallowed up by fear and doubt, and his hands stretched out and slammed on Li Yi's shoulders.

"Did you see that too?" The locust shook Li Yi's thin body.

"Nope." Li Yi was still indifferent and said. "I didn't see anything, and this afternoon, I've been here reading, just like you see."

"You didn't see that?" The locust looked suspicious. "Then why do you seem to know what I'm talking about?"

"You told me, Locust." Li Yi said. "A person's micro-expression will unconsciously reveal his true inner thoughts, and many people think it is just a simple emotion, but in fact it is more than that. Sometimes, a lot of subtle details are in the art of your speech. ”

The locust hesitated for a moment and asked. "Is there any wine?"

"You wait." Li Yi stood up and returned to the kitchen, he rummaged for a while, and took out two large jars of long-sealed southern rice stuffed mash from the kitchen, which smelled sweet and slightly drunk.

"I didn't think there would be such a thing." Li Yi smiled slightly. "It's not like a sweet wine like you, isn't it, locust?"

The locust took over the jar, and his nose wrinkled, and the smell got into his stomach. This wine had an aftertaste, which reminded him of some trivial things in the past, raised his head, looked at Li Yi's expression, and the locust understood that such a problem was inducing himself.

"I prepared this wine on the ship myself. I used to be in my hometown when I was a child. The locust took the bowl and poured it into its mouth, the taste filling its mouth.

"Every year, during the New Year's Festival, this kind of wine is brewed, and it has to be drunk from house to house, and adults and children are all average." The locust sighed.

Li Yi didn't say a word, smiling and listening to the locusts pour out. He took a bowl of wine and took a sip, the aroma of the wine poured into his throat with a slightly sweet hearty taste, giving him a long aftertaste.

"This wine is indeed the best I have ever drunk." Li Yi couldn't help but admire.

The locust smiled slightly, and the laughter was a little miserable. "It's weird, it's weird, this wine, this wine."

He muffled his voice and shook his head vigorously. "Is this wine possible, is it really providential?"

"You're trying to say, locust, you don't want to tell me that our experience today is that you hit something unclean, right?" Li Yi's tone was full of banter, and the locust's face was full of embarrassment.
