Odd imprints

Carlos was stabbed in the chest and died in the cold storage underneath. The door was open, and there was freedom of entry, and judging by the bleeding from the corpse, it should have been a short time before the incident. The princess has already led people to investigate, but has not been able to find many useful clues for the time being. ”

When Xue Yan said this whole sentence, his eyes looked directly at Liang Jingmo.

And Liang Jingmo can fully understand the other party's eyes.

Although for himself, with the death and disappearance of Qin Qu and Carlos, the mysterious murderer is only left with two possibilities: an alien intruder and a host, but the other party obviously doesn't think so. As the host, Xue Yan is probably more willing to trust his colleagues, and Liang Jingmo, as the only one alive among the four inviters on the ship, is naturally more suspicious.

However, Xue Yan was still sane after all, and knew that this was just his own wishful thinking. Last night's Chris didn't say anything in advance, just now, Liang Jingmo has been acting with him since he left the room, not leaving an inch, he is very sure that the other party has no chance to act alone, let alone run up and down two places.

More critically, the place where Carlos was attacked was a cold store. In addition to Sendros's body, which was already there, Chris's body had just been moved to one of the cold rooms and frozen, waiting to be further examined with high-precision instruments after coming ashore, and Carlos would go down there, perhaps intending to get some information from the corpse.

He, like Qin Qu, is investigating information related to the murder. The difference is that one starts with the corpse and the other starts with the traces left near the scene. However, in the end, both of them were also attacked.

From the perspective of motivation, it is self-evident who is the person who did this.

Liang Jingmo and Xue Yan thought of similar questions at the same time. The difference is that Liang Jingmo just thought about it, but Xueyan seemed to immediately think of Princess Jiang Le's safety, and suddenly couldn't stay. He didn't even look at the scene, but simply explained that the four people here tried their best to rescue the data, and searched the room to find useful clues. He specifically told them to act together. After all, in addition to Wen Ji, the remaining three people are also low-ranking hosts, and the four of them act together in addition to looking at each other, which is somewhat out of security considerations.

After the arrangements were made, Xue Yan was going to take Liang Jingmo to the cold storage on the lower level, and Jiang Le, who arrived first, was said to be waiting there. It's just that along the way, he seems a little uneasy.

"Worried about that princess?" Liang Jingmo, who was walking on the side, said with a smile. Seeing that the other party didn't answer, he simply took a closer look at Xue Yan's expression, and slowly shook his head: "No, I'm afraid it's someone else you're worried about." ”

Xue Yan squeezed out a sneer: "You are really confident in your eyesight." ”

"Well, I'm wrong." Liang Jingmo smiled, "But you really don't have a reason to worry about the princess." After all, even I have you as a bodyguard, and when the princess travels, how can I not arrange a master to protect her. Even if you want to search for clues, you won't be lacking in manpower, right? ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Yukihiko could tell something was wrong.

Liang Jingmo smiled, suddenly stopped, and turned around suddenly. Only then did Xue Yan notice that he was unknowingly guided by Liang Jingmo to the floor where Chris lived before. Before he could speak, the other party had already stepped out of the stairs without hesitation, and walked down the corridor in the direction of Chris's room.

He didn't plan to investigate the scene of Carlos' attack, but went back to the original scene.

Do you want to get to Princess Jiang Le's side as soon as possible, or continue to do your job as a "bodyguard"? The two thoughts briefly fought, and then he jumped out of the corridor and followed Liang Jingmo. The two of them were speechless along the way, and Xue Yan didn't open his mouth to dissuade him from acting, as if he was also thinking about his own thoughts.

When they walked back to the door of Chris's room, the two stopped in a tacit understanding. Liang Jingmo turned sideways to give up his position in front of the door, raised his hand and made a gesture of please to Xue Yan, who silently took out the corresponding room card, stepped forward to open the locked door, but was not in a hurry to push it open.

As for what Liang Jingmo was going to do next, he had actually guessed a little.

- After all, this person had already noticed the problem of "shoe prints" before.

"There are only two kinds of key cards that can open this door, one is the one it corresponds to, which is the one you use now; The other is the universal room card, which should be in Jiang Le's hands. Liang Jingmo said slowly, "In other words, after you finish surveying the room, this room should also be in a secret room." There were no traces of wiping outside the door at that time, right? ”

Yukihiko nodded. He remembers that very well.

Moreover, he had just thought of the same thing.

"In other words, after you've completed the site survey and closed the door, no one should be able to enter the place. Even if the person who attacked Qin Qu later cleaned up the traces in the hallway, this person still couldn't enter the room after all, let alone clean up the traces that he had accidentally left beforeβ€”of course, maybe this person didn't care at all. ”

Liang Jingmo said as he slowly pushed open the door. At this moment, the two of them looked at the floor of the room at the same time, and at the same time saw the messy shoe prints on the floor. Compared to the hallway, there are more shoe prints in this room and more messy, but on closer inspection, most of them are actually the same shape. After all, the section of the hallway that few people pass by, and although there are footprints walking back and forth in the room, in the end, most of it is Chris alone.

"But there's something different about it." Liang Jingmo pointed to one of the obviously different size shoe prints, "This is yours, right?" ”

Yukihiko nodded. Despite his efforts not to affect the condition of the room, he always had to walk in when he surveyed, which inevitably left a few shoe prints inside.

Liang Jingmo also nodded, but he was looking down at the floor and moved away with a slight movement, allowing himself to move away from Xue Yan a little. In just a few seconds, his gaze had swept across the room. Although Yukihiko, who is a surveyor, will definitely leave footprints in the room, if Chris is assassinated here, there should be footprints of himself and the murderer himself in the room.

In other words, there should be three kinds of shoe prints in this room.

However, Liang Jingmo only saw a small size of Chris's shoe print, and a large size, Xueyan's shoe print......

That's all.

"Did you notice?"

Yukihiko's voice sounded faintly behind him, with a certain temperature close to icy. Liang Jingmo had been distracted and guarded by the side, but only then did he suddenly find that the other party had moved silently from his side to behind him, he didn't look back, he couldn't see the expression on Xue Yan's face, and he couldn't see the other party's right hand that was slowly raised at this time.

"Looks like I mistrusted you." Liang Jingmo didn't look back, but said quietly in a very flat tone, "I originally thought that you should be the least suspicious one, so I asked you to participate in the investigation, and even asked you to protect my safety closely." I didn't expect you to be the real murderer, but this arrangement allows you to participate in the investigation at any time and act more freely. With the help of this identity, you have openly erased those superfluous clues in the corridor, and secretly disposed of Qin Qu and Carlos, two people who accidentally discovered the mystery before meeting me......"

He suddenly turned his head and showed a bright smile at Xue Yan: "...... You want me to think so, don't you? ”

This sudden 180-degree change made Xue Yan obviously stunned.

Liang Jingmo shook his finger: "If you are a murderer, since you have thought of cleaning up the corridor, how can you forget about the part of the room?" If you have a key card, you can always go back to your room to deal with it, such as erasing all the shoe prints, or simply fake a few strange shoe prints from outsiders, so that you don't make the mistake of leaving only two shoe prints, yourself and the deceased. ”

"In fact, my previous judgment was correct, because the murder happened in the middle of the night, the lights in the room were relatively dim, and the real murderer did not notice the obvious footprints on the ground, and when the next day, the investigation intervened, but the murderer had no chance to clean up."

He crouched down and pointed his finger on a few small semicircular marks on the floor in turn: "Look at this, this, and this over here, these are the shoe prints of the third person left in the room." ”

"What shoes leave this imprint?" Xue Yan's face was a little ugly, "It's almost like a small crutch...... Do you want to say that the murderer killed someone on stilts? ”

"It's the same high letter, but it's not stilts, it's high heels. The killer pressed the weight on his heel and walked directly on the tiny heel. As long as the heel is hard enough to support the weight of the person, it is not difficult to walk and can avoid leaving visible shoe marks. She couldn't see it, but she thought about it. ”

Liang Jingmo smiled, and his gaze at Xue Yan suddenly became a little sharper.

"Speaking of which, how long are we going to play this game of testing each other?" He said bluntly, "Actually, you already have a suspect in mind for the murderer, right?" ”

"Judging from the current clues, the person who did these things should be a person who usually wears high heels and is in a state of free movement during the time just now, and even when the explosion occurs, he just avoids it, so that he does not need to be in danger. Also, the bomb that caused the explosion was very elaborate in terms of design, so that the power of the explosion was completely concentrated on the inside, so that it could accurately blow through the thick iron plate and destroy the equipment in the monitoring room, which also required that person to have good attainments in this regard...... "Liang Jingmo said, "The host named Wen Ji who just appeared, if I remember correctly, her name is 'Caiyan', right?" ”
