Why would you choose to trust me? ”

Hearing the other party's question, Liang Jingmo raised his eyebrows, "I thought you wouldn't ask." Genius remembers the first in a second"

"After all, you're too unpredictable, and I still can't trust you. I can't feel at ease if I don't understand your thoughts. ”

"Just because of your personal curiosity?" Liang Jingmo seemed to be smiling.

"Plus, this question makes a bit of sense to me." The young man said lightly, "I am quite convinced of you in terms of judgment. If you skip those seniors and choose me directly because you have already determined that one of them may be a traitor, then I must also be prepared accordingly, so as not to be caught off guard when my strength is not as good as the other party. ”

Jiang Le interjected next to him, "To be honest, if he didn't open his mouth just now, I would have wanted to ask you too." Why was he the only one in the crowd? Don't tell me you're a mess, I don't believe it. ”

Naturally, she said the same choice she had made in the hallway. At that time, she asked Liang Jingmo, who was about to leave in a hurry, and asked him which host could be in charge of the on-site investigation, and Liang Jingmo seemed to be random, and chose the young man standing in front of them at this time.

She didn't know if Liang Jingmo had randomly ordered one, but she had always been suspicious, and since she had chosen to let Liang Jingmo assist in the investigation of this incident, she had to trust his judgment unconditionally.

So she complied.

For her, if Liang Jingmo was excluded according to the previous logic, the mole would have to choose between Qin Qu and Carlos, but no matter which of them were, it didn't look like she had the ability to kill Chris in this environment.

In contrast, the presenter is clearly more likely to do such a thing. So at this point in time, with the death of the biggest suspect Chris in this way, Jiang Le's biggest reliance, the hosts, is under unprecedented suspicion.

If you want to find the truth, you can't do without the help of the host; However, in order to find the mole, it is necessary to keep the mole away from the investigation. This logic is correct alone, but when it is assumed that the mole may be among the hosts, the dilemma arises, and if the host's power is used, it will inevitably let them know, so the moles mixed in can know the actions of this side in advance and respond; But if she chooses to keep the information closed to the mole, she will not be able to get the help of the host - that is, in order to find the mole, she must first find the mole and exclude him.

An unsolvable paradox.

Therefore, she has no other way to break the situation than to trust Liang Jingmo's judgment.

"From your point of view, this mole seems to have no features at all, so this paradox is doomed to be insoluble because it cannot rule out an ann host. But for me, it's a different story. Liang Jingmo smiled, "First of all, I have to assume that this mole is the one who killed Chris in some way - although this assumption is not rigorous, not only hastily denying the possibility of Chris's suicide, but also understanding the relationship between the characters in the simplest way, but in the case of only these few people on the boat, and the lack of motivation for suicide on Chris's side, I think it can be assumed like this." ”

Jiang Le nodded, "Go on." ”

"If the mole is defined as the murderer this time, then the question is simple for me." Liang Jingmo shook his head, "Since he has the courage to kill Chris under the noses of a boatload of people, he can naturally attack me." At the same time, he should also know that if he kills Chris, the others will definitely start investigating the truth behind it, and I may start to act......"

"So, the only one I can trust is you." He said sincerely.

"Huh?"

Jiang Le's mouth opened wide, revealing a strange expression, "This is too jumpy!" I was waiting for your tirade, and that's it? Are you explaining this or sensationalism? ”

"No, I seem to ...... I kind of understand the logic of this. The young man next to him hesitated and said, "Do you mean that although you don't know who the mole is, you can find someone who won't kill you first." Once you find it, you will cooperate first, and then slowly investigate other things. ”

"It's correct, it's worthy of being a host." Liang Jingmo gave him a thumbs up, "It is worthy of my chosen helper." ”

"I didn't even say I was going to help you." The young man said helplessly.

"Don't talk about this nonsense." Princess Jiang Le said impatiently, "Who will explain the logic in this passage to me?" ”

"It's actually very simple." Liang Jingmo said, "What you are looking for is a mole, but you don't have a standard to find a reliable person." But for me, the criterion is there, which is 'Kill Chris before you kill me,'"

Jiang Le was slightly stunned, and after a second, she showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Oh! I see! ”

"Yes, that's it." "Like I said, once Chris dies, I may investigate the murderer, and in turn if I die, Chris may do the same." It's not that I'm boasting, in the former case, the murderer can't escape, and in the latter case, the murderer can't be found. So if it were me, I'd definitely kill myself before everyone was still on alert, and then decide whether Chris was a threat or not. Or just kill us both at the beginning. ”

"In other words, the killer is someone who thinks Chris's threat level is significantly higher than mine...... Or rather, someone who doesn't know how difficult I am. ”

He turned to Jiang Le, "You are the first one who can be ruled out." First of all, you've seen what I'm capable of during my time in prison, and you've probably assessed the gap between me and Chris. In the voting session of the White Night Festival, you set up such a big game against me, which is a sign of your importance. ”

Princess Jiang Le didn't say a word, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"So if you're going to kill Chris, unless it's an improvisation, you're going to think about me more or less threateningly. Of course, in terms of the condition of the room, even if it is really an impulsive killing, there is enough time to arrange the scene for the aftermath after the incident. It's enough time for you to calm down and think about whether I'm going to get in the way. ”

"But I'm still alive, and the murderer hasn't done anything to me until now, which means that the murderer is not you, and of course the traitor is not. I'm at least safe before you. ”

He turned to the young host next to him, "In the same way, you were there at the White Night Festival and were standing behind me as a watchman. You saw it. Although you had limited time with me before that, and maybe not much contact with Chris, I guess you can already recognize who is more difficult from the different attitudes of the people in the White Night Festival. In contrast, the other hosts have little intersection with me, so naturally they will not have this characteristic. So, I choose to believe in you. ”

He smiled, looked at the other party who seemed to be a little confused, and slowly asked, "I've already answered your doubts, right?" Well, now it's time for the detectives to act. ”

He slowly stood up on his knees, then stretched long.

"For this secret room murder case, there is no way to get an answer based on the current clues, and some things can only be determined by going to the scene to see." He smiled and said, "So, now it's hard for you to accompany me over there, Xue Yan Watson." ”

"Ice Floe" Xue Yan was slightly stunned, and then realized that he was talking about Sherlock Holmes. He glanced at Jiang Le inquiringly, and when he got the other party's nod of affirmation, Xue Yan stood up and motioned for Liang Jingmo to follow him.

"The princess thinks so highly of you, I hope you can really solve this mystery." There was a hint of menace in his tone.

Liang Jingmo smiled easily.

"I also wish I had enough brains...... But if things change, you'll have to protect me. ”

As he said this, his gaze slowly swept over the two of them, and he pointed to something.

However, just as the two decided to return to the scene, in the corridor at the door of Chris's room, someone had already secretly started an investigation before them.

"Sure enough, I was right......

Qin Qu propped his hands on the ground, and the whole person was almost on the ground, carefully searching for the slightest trace with his eyes. Since he was a child, he has an unknown advantage, that is, he not only has good eyesight, but his eyes are very sensitive to color, which is almost comparable to some detection instruments. Just as everyone was gathering at the door, he happened to notice some strange marks on the side of the hallway.

These are several footprints that resemble the forefoot, but only the forefoot, and the tip is rounded and narrow, and at first glance it looks like someone walking on tiptoe. Because there were many people just now, these half footprints were submerged in the footprints of other people, and it was difficult to find them. He paid attention to it at the time, and secretly returned to the scene at this time to take a closer look, and finally confirmed his suspicion at that time - there was a small circular mark behind the forefoot that was not easy to find.

"Sure enough, it's not a tiptoe footprint." Qin Qu muttered to himself, "This is a round-toed high heel!" ”

He remembered very well that the only woman who had come with them in the morning was Princess Jiang Le, and she was wearing those pointed-toe high heels, and the shape of the shoes was completely different from the ones he had just discovered!

There are no full-time cleaners on board, and the floors are done by automatic sweeping machines that operate at midnight every day. In other words, not only were the footprints not left by any of them, but this person had been to the scene even earlier, and this time was limited to after twelve o'clock in the morning......

You can even think like this, this person is a murderer!

"But since it's high heels, speaking of women on the ship except for princesses...... Yes! ”

Qin Qu raised his head and muttered to himself, the expression on his face gradually changed from confusion to sudden realization.

However, he didn't notice that at this time, a figure was silently approaching behind him......
