Chapter 167 No Survivors (10)
"Hysterical?" Vera's emotions suddenly became extremely excited: "Don't you still understand? It's that poem! Ten little soldiers, one choked to death and couldn't be saved, talking about Marston.
He fell asleep upside down, and only eight of the nine remained, which also matched Mrs. Rogers's death.
There were originally ten little soldiers on the plate, and we were also ten, but now there are only eight left. ”
This remark is justified and cannot be regarded as speculation, and everyone here is also suspicious, but at the same time... They are reluctant to accept such remarks.
They were about to leave the island, and if they accepted this at this time, they would undoubtedly put everyone in big trouble, and even worse, they had been subjected to inexplicable accusations before.
"You probably took it, Miss Creshorne."
Vera was stunned and looked at the doctor in confusion: "Why did I do this?" ”
"To be the center of attention." The doctor paused, then added, "Aren't you desperate for attention?" Miss Clethorne, whatever kind of attention! ”
"What did you say?" Vera looked a little furious.
梆~梆~梆~!
The sudden knock on the door made the restaurant feel solemn, and the butler, who was holding the refreshments in the back, gently pushed open the door and entered the restaurant.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had become very solemn, Ms. Blunt said to the butler in a tone full of regret: "What a misfortune it is about Mrs. Rogers. ”
The butler bowed slightly, but did not speak.
However, the next moment, Ms. Blount exposed her bitterness and meanness to the fullest.
She actually asked the housekeeper with a sad face, "This egg has been boiled for four minutes, is it exactly right?" ”
Looking at Ms. Blount with a calm face, the butler didn't know how to answer, and the guests present... They all looked at the Blount lady with strange eyes.
At this time, the old judge spoke: "Rogers first, when is Naracott coming?" ”
"In the morning, it might be late." The old judge's inquiry effectively alleviated the housekeeper's embarrassment: "Mr. Judge, Mr. Narakot is not very punctual. ”
Seeing that the guests had no demand, the butler left straight away, this restaurant had a very strange atmosphere, and what about Ms. Blunt? She was still peeling the eggshell with a calm expression.
At this moment, the state of everyone's appearance is completely untenable.
Ms. Blount is not only bitter and mean, but also strangely arrogant, and always seems to feel like she is superior, so she is always acting on her own.
General MacArthur, who sat next to Ms. Blunt, not only looked depressed at the moment, but also had a very dull look in his eyes, as if he was recalling some past events.
Longbottom on the other end of the table looked calm, but he was already seen as a dangerous person, so intentionally... Or unintentionally, isolated by everyone.
As for... Yi Qi himself, since the appearance of the deceased, has begun to wander outside the crowd, and what about the old judge? He has always been dying, and he looks downish on life and death.
The rest of the governesses, Vera and Dr. Armstrong, the smell of gunpowder between the two of them was already strong and smellable.
As soon as the butler left the restaurant, the war in the room was once again provoked by Vera.
So after eating her breakfast, Vera calmly asked the doctor, "How did Mrs. Rogers die?" ”
"I don't know."
"Did you give him any medicine?"
"Yes!" The doctor nodded disappreciatively and said, "Some mild tranquilizers." ”
Vera raised her voice, "Did you overdose on the medicine you gave her?" ”
The doctor heard the implication, dropped the utensils, and stared at the female teacher with sharp eyes: "I don't understand, what do you mean by that." ”
"Anthony. Marston was young and strong, and he didn't die of doping. Vera paused slightly, then turned her head to look into the doctor's eyes: "Maybe he was poisoned, just after the argument with you!"
As for... Mrs. Rogers, probably died of an overdose of tranquilizers. ”
The doctor laughed angrily: "You think I'm the murderer? ”
"What's in your medical kit, doctor?" Instead of answering, Vera asked rhetorically, "Why are you carrying it?" You're a guest, not a worker. ”
"I'm here to work!" The doctor stared into Vera's eyes and said unflinchingly, "I didn't want to reveal it out of professional ethics. However, Mrs. Owen suffered from female neurosis.
And I, who specialize in women's diseases, asked me to be a doctor to take care of his wife. ”
Vera was speechless at the rebuttal.
At this moment, Longbottom, who had always been quite interesting to the female teacher, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and then said in a mocking tone: "So, have you given up surgery, doctor?" ”
Vera seemed to be inspired and cried out loudly: "People don't die suddenly for no reason, someone must have done something to them for them to die."
So, I'm going to search your bag......"
……
Although the two had a lot of trouble, at this moment... But no one stood up to stop it.
As for... Yi Qi, he watched the farce while eating his breakfast slowly.
Vera's behavior is understandable, as one of only two women, she was born... There are disadvantages that cannot be ignored, so they will instinctively protect themselves.
However, her actions were very unwise.
If the murderer really premeditated the killing, then he would never leave the evidence on him, so Vera did this, except for making enemies indiscriminately, and Yi Qi could no longer see any other benefits.
Yi Qi wanted to stay out of the matter, but unexpectedly... The war between the two was inexplicably led to him.
Vera tried to search the doctor's medicine box, but the doctor refused to back down, and the two faced off.
At this moment, the female teacher's beautiful eyes turned and fell on Yi Qi: "Let Mr. Sheriff search it?" ”
Seeing that he couldn't stay out of the matter, Yi Qi stood up helplessly and said very gentlemanly: "Willing to serve you." ”
Vera looked at the doctor proudly, but the doctor refused to show weakness and shouted: "I don't want to be censored like a stinky criminal!" ”
"What if the general goes with him?" At this time, even the mean Ms. Blount also expressed her attitude: "The general is a decent person!" ”
The doctor looked around and saw that no one was willing to stand up and speak for him, so he said viciously, "All right! In that case, it would be best to search Judge Vograve's box as well.
I didn't see Mr. Judge in the clinic next door for cancer, and if anyone had a strong painkiller and tranquilizer, it would have been Judge Vograve. ”
The old judge, who was shot inexplicably, immediately showed a look of shock, but he did not try to defend himself, and seemed to acquiesce to the doctor's remarks......
