The truth is out
A few hours ago, Chris's body had been lying on the floor of the room, and the body had been moved to cold storage, where a human figure had been drawn in chalk to mark his fall. A little above the humanoid's waist was a dark red stain of blood, the site where he had been stabbed with a screwdriver, and the fatal point where the terrible toxin had invaded his bloodstream.
A few hours later, the small room was temporarily used as a discussion room. Several people who were considered reliable during this incident gathered here to exchange information and try to reconstruct what had happened here.
"I've carefully examined the footprints on this floor, and there are only three in total: those of the deceased Chris, the investigator Yukihiko, and the heel of the heel...... Of course, there are more of mine. Liang Jingmo paced around the room indifferently, "This part of the information has been collected, so you don't have to be formal, just find a place to sit down." ”
He spoke as if he were the master of the place. As the real leader of the ship, Princess Jiang Le didn't care, smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed. In her opinion, the more relaxed Liang Jingmo behaved at this time, the more it showed that he was confident, and if he could solve the case, this little overstep was nothing.
"So, what did you find?" She asked.
"In terms of the secret room technique, let me sell it first, after all, we have to see if there are any additional clues to corroborate. The same goes for the identity of the murderer, although I already have a super suspicious object, but after all, if the motive is not solved, it is only an inference after all. Liang Jingmo said with a smile, "Out of the discipline of a detective, I still have to find out why Chris died, or why the murderer did it to Chris, which is as important as the method of constructing the secret room." ”
"What I want to say is that the cause of Chris's death is probably that he himself acted too radically that day. ”
Jiang Lexiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she raised her hand to signal him to continue.
"The next part needs to be added by you." Liang Jingmo said, "After Sendros died, I visited the hosts in turn, so I walked around the ship a bit. In the process, I happened to encounter Chris and the host on two occasions, in order not to startle the snake, I watched from a distance, and did not get close, so I could not hear the content of their conversation. I have reason to suspect that he has actually been in contact with all the presenters privately. In these two meetings, he was the host of Yue Ming once, and the other was ......"
His gaze finally fell on the old man who always seemed to be unable to wake up: "And you." ”
"Yes."
The old man shrugged and admitted bluntly. Liang Jingmo was about to ask a question about what they said, but Xueyan, the "ice floe" next to him, suddenly interjected: "Actually, after looking for the two of them, Chris also looked for me yesterday afternoon." ”
"Guessed."
The topic that was about to be opened was interrupted, and Liang Jingmo had no choice but to turn his head and look at him helplessly, "That's why I said that we should have ended this state of mutual suspicion and mutual concealment." ”
"But it's not just me who is hiding it, you too." Yukihiko said, "You said a lot about the reasons for choosing me at the beginning, but in fact, you concealed a very important point by stealing the concept. You said that the murderer killed Chris first and didn't kill you, which means that he thinks Chris is more threatening than you, so I am not suspicious. But this reasoning assumes that the killer will definitely do it to both of you, which is almost like ...... Not only do you know why he was killed, but you also have the same reasons why he will be targeted. ”
"You're right."
Liang Jingmo smiled shamelessly: "I have a personal guess about this matter, and you know what Chris said, as long as we compare the information on both sides, we can know whether my guess is right or not." ”
"Don't waste your time." Seeing that the two of them had a bit of a sense of continuing to pull down, Princess Jiang Le decisively took on the role of giving orders, "Host Xueyan, you can tell what you heard first." If it conjectures, I think Liang Jingmo will also be willing to share your thoughts with everyone, right? ”
"Exactly." Liang Jingmo nodded shamelessly.
Xue Yan glanced at him, thought for a while, and then said: "First of all, what Chris said at the time was vague, and I wasn't sure I understood it, so what I said about him next was the same thing, and I didn't change a word."
"He said at the time that he had important information to sell me, and asked me what price I could pay for what the princess had just said." "I didn't know exactly what he was referring to, so I tried to say that I had to see what it was like before I could decide what price to offer," she said. He just looked at me like that, shook his head very slowly, and said, "In this way, you should not be my buyer." ”
"It's kind of interesting, making things so mysterious." Princess Jiang Le said, "If he said that to me, I would probably think that this information is about a traitor, right?" ”
"I thought about the possibility at the time, after all, Sendros had just died, and there was still a lot of ununderstood things about him, and he was the owner of the ship, so he couldn't have hidden something special on the ship. If Chris knew anything, it would have been a great help. Xue Yan smiled bitterly, "So I said, if it is information related to the mole, and it is really useful, I can meet one of his requests." You know it's quite tempting to make such a promise as a host before you see the goods. ”
However, he just shook his head again, thought for a moment and said that it really didn't work, and then left...... What are you laughing at! ”
He turned his head and glared at Liang Jingmo, who covered his mouth and shook his head: "No, I can only say that this reaction is really expected." ”
Jiang Le also looked at him a little unpleasantly: "Liang Jingmo, if you know anything, you might as well say it directly." ”
"I don't know, but I can only say that this conversation confirms my suspicions." Liang Jingmo replied, "I think most of the hosts reacted to this incident in the same way. After all, the execution of Sendros had just happened before, and normal people would easily associate it with the issue of a mole. ”
"That's not what you mean?" Yukihiko asked rhetorically.
"Probably not." Liang Jingmo said, "I can only say that he is looking for someone who can really understand what he means, but while doing this kind of temptation, he may unfortunately meet the traitor lurking among us." And so tragedy struck. ”
He sighed: "Think about it, suppose you are the traitor, what would you think when you hear such words?" ”
"What do you think?" Yukihiko thought for a moment, "I guess it's probably the same thing as me...... Yes! ”
He suddenly turned his head to look at Liang Jingmo in surprise: "It's that simple?" ”
"Yes, it's that simple." Liang Jingmo nodded, "The murderer, who is a mole, thought of the same thing as you after hearing his words, and at the same time, the attitude that Chris showed had a different interpretation in the eyes of the murderer." In that case, I don't know if the killer chose to try a deal or cover up the past, anyway, we all saw the final result, Chris was assassinated in the room in the middle of the night after being raided by the murderer, which means that the murderer's motive was probably ...... Kill people. ”
"But, in fact, this murderer doesn't have to be like this."
Liang Jingmo shook his head regretfully: "Judging from Chris's past caution, I don't think he expected the murderer to take such a move, otherwise he should have been on guard before entering the door, so as not to be easily ambushed." In other words, if the murderer hadn't exposed himself, he would have found out that Chris didn't have any information to break in this regard. ”
"Ambush?" Jiang Le's eyes lit up, "Since you say this kind of thing with such certainty, could it be that your speculation about the modus operandi of the murder case has also been verified?" ”
"Nine times out of ten, it's not just this single case that's happening on the ship." Liang Jingmo turned to Jiang Le, "Princess, I also want to confirm today's situation with you one last time. During the time I left the scene until you brought host Xueyan into my room, you not only visited Carlos and Qin Qu, but also assigned the host's work. I'd like to know about the assignment and what you've seen in the other two's room. ”
"Let's talk about what I have seen and heard first, this is ......"
Jiang Le tilted his head and thought about it, and shook his head: "To be honest, there is nothing to gain." Qin Qu was more cautious in this regard, but he didn't lie, and he didn't see any suspicion. Carlos was quick to speak, and said that Chris didn't act with them yesterday, and he seemed to have some plans for a long time, but several hosts on our side knew about this matter, and the time on both sides was on the same side, and Chris had no time to do anything other than to find the host one by one to try to negotiate. ”
"Before that, I also reassigned the host a task, which I mentioned before." She said, "I gathered the moderators near the monitoring room for a short meeting, first asked the four hosts who were in the monitoring room to continue to crack the password together, and then began to assign tasks, first ask the two to ......."
She raised her hand and pointed to the two old hosts standing next to her: "Please go to the deck and be on guard against the surrounding enemies who may approach by ship or airplane." Although the probability is small, if this situation really happens, it is definitely not easy to provoke. Therefore, although I have selfish intentions in this arrangement, it is not without consideration. ”
Next, let Xu Ying and the other three guard the power room on the ship, the control room of the navigation computer, and the material warehouse for distilling fresh water and storing food. While this would give the mole who might be among them a chance to move relatively freely, it would also largely ensure the safety of at least two of them. Even if the mole starts to destroy from the place where the town is guarded, I think it is worth sacrificing one of them in order to find out the mole. ”
"Then the last step is to ask Host Yukihiko to accompany me to each person's room to inspect it...... Any questions? ”
When she said this, she noticed that Liang Jingmo showed a thoughtful expression, so she stopped. Liang Jingmo nodded: "There is indeed a little doubt." You said here that you would arrange for the four hosts in the monitoring room to crack the code together, but when we arrived, it was said that there was a four-person rotation system......"
"Oh, about this!" Jiang Le patted his head, "I said I missed it, this is an additional instruction later." When I arranged everything and started the inspection with Yukihiko, he suggested that the work of the monitoring room did not need four people, and that it could be rotated and rested appropriately, so I told that only three people should be left there, and one person with a bye could rest......"
"At this time, the three had already been assigned to their assigned positions, and the two seniors had also reached the deck, just enough to vacate most of the hull to move...... So that's the case, that's his real purpose......" Liang Jingmo muttered. He suddenly slapped the table and stood up suddenly, his face filled with irrepressible excitement, as if a great battle was about to be fought against someone.
"Please gather all the moderators in the conference room near the monitoring room!" He said to Jiang Le, "Just say the reason...... Let's just say, I have something big to publish! ”
"Are you ready to solve the mystery?" Seeing the other party's confident appearance, Jiang Le was also a little excited.
Liang Jingmo smiled.
"I've been waiting for a long time, but I finally have the opportunity to say that." He cleared his throat and said loudly.
"All the puzzles are solved!"
