Chapter 159 No Survivors (2)
Governess. Vera came to the ferry first and politely asked the boatman, "My surname is Clethorne, and I am the secretary hired by Mrs. Owen, are you Mr. Narracott?" ”
"No one else is holding a sign for Soldier Island."
Narakot is just a boatman, and between words and deeds... It was inevitable that he would be a little rude, but he didn't have any bad intentions and took the suitcase from Vera's hand.
"By the way, I've crossed over with two people, an old woman who has nothing to do, and a young man with bells and whistles! I'm so familiar with this port! ”
After saying that, the boatman took his suitcase and got into the ferry.
Seeing that Vera was okay and leaning on the railing, General MacArthur said in a round voice: "Old sailors have their own etiquette, you don't have to care about that. ”
Immediately, he introduced to the crowd gathered at the ferry: "Hello, I am General MacArthur. ”
"Oh my God, it's such an honor to meet you." The old man who followed Vera and Longbottom also came to the ferry and stretched out his right hand: "I'm Wagreve." ”
"Judge Vograve?"
The general shook hands with the old man, who nodded reservedly: "I'm retired now......"
……
Hearing Vograve's name, Ichie looked at it... Moved to the next line of the notebook.
'Lawrence. John. Vograve, a retired veteran judge, but until he retired, was known as a death penalty judge.
And there are rumors that Judge Wagreve will go to watch every death sentence he imposes. ’
Seeing that everyone was almost greeting, Yi Qi put away his notes and walked to everyone: "Hello, I'm... Davis! ”
On the ferry, the boatman, Narakot, seemed to be waiting impatiently, and shouted to the crowd: "Are you still coming?" ”
Several people immediately stopped to greet each other, nodded to each other, and boarded the ferry one after another.
It's just that it's the turn of the female teacher. When Wei ** was on the boat, her feet slipped slightly, and Yi Qi found that her center of gravity was unstable, so she stepped forward to help her with a gentlemanly demeanor.
When everyone has boarded the boat, the boatman will pull the anchor and set sail.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a white suit and a suitcase hurried to the ferry.
At the same time, Yi Qi also showed a meaningful smile, it seems... All the guests of the party had arrived, and then their eyes fell on the man in white.
'Edward. George. Armstrong, an excellent doctor, worked in the Royal Army Medic.
As for... Now, he has opened a clinic of his own, and with his brilliant medical skills and good reputation, he has jumped into Longmen and become a well-known doctor. ’
……
With the half-hour voyage, a beautiful island gradually came into view.
However, while everyone was observing the island with great interest, Yi Qi was quietly looking at the few guests on the ship with a scrutinizing gaze.
Yi Qi is indeed entrusted by Sheriff Broel, and even after a prior investigation, he can't see what is wrong with the guests through the sheriff's sharp eyes.
It's just that the composition of the guests is very interesting.
Retired veterans, retired judges, well-known doctors, teachers at girls' schools, and Longbottom... This mercenary-like guy.
Yi Qi couldn't see how these guys would have anything to do with each other, or... Commonalities.
As for... The two guests who have arrived at Soldier Island, according to the information gathered by Sheriff Bloor, one is an old-fashioned and strict religious fanatic, the other is a cynical playboy.
Bringing together such a group of people who are not close to each other... Holding a party, even with Yiqi's brain full of reverie, can't think of... What the hell would that look like?
However, seeing the guests in high spirits, and... Full of anticipation for the party, apparently unaware of the problem.
But what does this have to do with Yiqi?
Ichie's idea is actually the same as Sergeant Bloor's - first to earn a good commission, and then spend a wonderful vacation, helping the owner of the villa by the way. Mr. Owen, keep an eye on the guests.
Ichine's thoughts... It's probably the same, mainly to adjust one's own state, and then watch a crappy comedy by the way, and at the same time... Uncover the hidden murderer.
Yes, murderer!
Yiqi's mission in this game is to find the murderer!
So, one of the guests who are judging Soldier Island... Or some, it is very likely that they will be brutally killed by the murderer in the party.
Of course, Yi Qi would not have warned them in advance, and he would not care how many people would be killed.
According to Yi Qi's idea, it is best if everyone dies, leaving only himself and the murderer, then it is called perfect!
……
The boatman Narakot was a skilled boatman, driving a small ferry through the middle of the reef, constantly jolting.
In a short time, the ferry went smoothly into the Soldier Island... A small natural cove made of rocks and between them.
When everyone arrived at Soldier Island, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper and a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid were already waiting for everyone on the shore.
Seeing the guests disembarking one after another, the middle-aged man dressed as a butler bent down and greeted slightly: "Welcome to Soldier Island, I am Mr. Owen's butler. Rogers! ”
Then, Rogers, the butler, the maid, and the boatman, carried the luggage... led a group of people to the direction of the villa.
Looking at the backs of the housekeeper and the maid, Yi Qi couldn't help but flash the information of Sheriff Broel's investigation in his mind.
'Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, the housekeepers and maids hired by Mr. Owen, have been in the housekeeping business for many years, and there is nothing to care about......
……
After that, needless to say, the group walked slowly along the path towards the interior of Soldier Island.
However, as soon as the white mansion came into view, the boatman Narakot stopped, dropped his luggage and headed back to the ferry.
Dr. Armstrong, who was following the boatman, couldn't help asking, "Sorry, is something wrong?" ”
"Sir, they paid me only to bring it here."
After answering Armstrong's question, the boatman simply walked away.
Seeing this, the doctor first shrugged his shoulders, picked up his luggage, and followed the butler who led the way in front, as for... Yi Qi stopped to look at the boatman who was going away, silent.
Sheriff Blore seems to have missed the boatman, and is also interested in... The sheriff is hired by Mr. Owen to monitor the guests' every move, and only he knows of the existence of the murderer through the mission.
Since it is the murderer, the scope cannot only be delimited to the scope of the guests, because no one stipulates that the murderer is the guest, and this boatman who can drive the boat to the island at any time is very suspicious!
Of course, there is a premise here - the murderer is a human, and if the murderer is a ghost, it is a different matter......
