"Where are you between 0 and 2 in the morning?"

"I'm at the restaurant to confirm today's meal."

He Qingzhi: "Confirm? ”

Yuan Jie smiled and said, "The VIP food on the cruise ship is not repeated every day, this is to provide you with the best dining experience." However, since every day is fresh, you will not be able to eat what you thought was delicious the day before. Second, you may eat something you don't like to eat. ”

"So, I'm going to start by picking out the right recipe for a few people. For example, Miss Ho, you like to drink soup and some less greasy food. ”

He Qingzhi half-opened her mouth, a little surprised, but quickly raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I didn't expect Steward Yuan to be so careful." ”

"So, when the midnight order menu first came out, I was in the kitchen area with the other butlers making food choices. Because if you need breakfast service, I can send you the recommended breakfast directly. ”

Speaking of which, He Qingzhi also knew about it for the first time, and it seemed that it was indeed written in the guest room guide, she glanced at it, but she didn't like to stay in the room all the time.

"And what time are you busy?"

Yuan Jie raised his head and looked at the ceiling, and after thinking for a while, he said, "At 0:30 in the morning, I finished my classification work. After a little chat with Miss Wu Tiantian, I escorted her back to her room first, and then I went back to my room by myself. Back in the room, it was probably around 0040. The surveillance footage should have captured me. ”

Qin Zhan didn't know where he came to them, snorted, and sneered: "It's a pity, surveillance video." ”

Yuan Jie tilted his head and looked a little strange: "What's wrong with the surveillance video?" ”

"No, nothing. In other words, you don't have an alibi after 0040? ”

Qin Zhan's voice seemed a little aggressive.

Yuan Jie's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking hard for a moment, he finally nodded: "If you talk about an alibi other than the surveillance camera...... I really don't. ”

Hearing this, Qin Zhan sneered again and said, "Really? That's really unfortunate. When Miss Michiko died, it was between 0:00 and 2:00 in the morning. You haven't had a proof of abnormality for that long time. ”

Yuan Jie's face changed slightly, and it could be seen that his eyes were a little nervous. After a while, he finally couldn't help it and asked, "Officer Qin." You...... Are you suspicious of me? ”

Qin Zhan snorted, and then opened his mouth: "Yuan Jie! I'm telling you! You'd better explain everything now! Why are you on this ship? Are you related to Hatsune Miku? ”

Qin Zhan's yelling made Jin Yansen, who was chatting with Zhao Qian over there, couldn't help but turn his head and glance at him. However, Qin Zhan didn't seem to care at all, he felt that Yuan Jie's suspicious points were not small.

Yuan Jie smiled, because he knew that this policeman looked fierce, but in fact, the limit was here.

However, when his gaze shifted to He Qingzhi's face again, the cold and clear gaze at this moment, which was like extreme ice, made him involuntarily shudder and put away the smile on his face.

"Steward Yuan, why don't you talk about it." He Qingzhi's indifferent tone could not be refused.

"I ...... It's to find someone. ”

Finally, Yuan Jie opened his mouth.

He Qingzhi: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Yuan Jie: "Find someone who is very important to my life. At the same time, they are also the people who abandoned me and threw me away like garbage. ”

He Qingzhi: "Who is that person?!" ”

Yuan Jie returned to his usual smile: "I'm sorry, I can't say who I am looking for." The relationship between me and that person is complicated, and the other person may not want to see me, and may even have forgotten about me, thinking that I don't exist at all. But I'm still going to come to this guy. However, I assure you that my search for this person has absolutely nothing to do with this case. ”

Hearing this, Qin Zhan clasped his hands and began to say in a very tough attitude: "There is no connection? The killer also said he had no connection to any homicides. If you don't tell the truth, why should we believe you? ”

Yuan Jie was silent. Wu Tiantian next to her had something to say, so she glanced over here. After thinking about it, he walked over and whispered, "That...... I can prove that the person senior Yuan Jie wants to find is the same as this murder...... That one...... It shouldn't be a big deal, right? ”

At first, her tone was okay.

But when it came to the second half, her tone began to become less firm. Turned his head to look at Yuan Jie. A look of asking for help. But after coming into contact with Yuan Jie's kind of sight, she withdrew her gaze and didn't dare to look at the other party again.

Qin Zhan's eyebrows raised and said, "Why doesn't it matter?" Why are you so sure? ”

The girl pinched the hem of her butler's suit, and after a moment's hesitation, finally said, "That...... I...... Actually, I know. So...... I can also testify for Mr. Yuan Jie. That one...... That ......"

As she spoke, the girl's face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and said softly, "Mr. Yuan Jie...... In fact...... The person he was looking for really had nothing to do with the murder. It's true. Though...... Although I can't guarantee anything...... But I ask you to trust me. It's true! ”

"So, what about you? Do you have your own alibi? ”

The topic turned to Wu Tiantian, He Qingzhi looked at her for a moment, and her notebook was still in her hand to record.

"Me? That one...... That ......"

Wu Tiantian suddenly became anxious when she came into contact with Qin Zhan's stern eyes that seemed to be able to swallow her directly.

Yuan Jie next to him saw that this junior girl was so nervous, so he couldn't help but reach out and press her shoulder.

And this press also seemed to give her some kind of encouragement, so that her excited emotions gradually calmed down.

"I ...... Like Senior Yuan Jie, he has been preparing breakfast in the restaurant for the morning. Then, after the seniors were gone, I did a little more time. That one...... Because my hands and feet are clumsy, I do it slowly. ”

And then, and then...... It wasn't until about one o'clock in the morning that I left. Then I called a friend of mine on the way, she was also on this boat, and she was so excited that she called me and told me a lot of things and couldn't sleep. After that, I went back to my room, and the phone call lasted for about an hour. I hung up the phone and went to bed at two o'clock. ”

Qin Zhan nodded: "Please tell me your friend's mobile phone number." ”

"Okay."

After recording his mobile phone, Qin Zhan himself took his mobile phone and began to go to the side to verify.

In order to change the topic and not make Wu Tiantian too nervous, He Qingzhi directly pointed to Qi Minghao, who was always drinking coffee over there happily and had no sad expression at all: "Why do you take a fancy to Yuan Jie?" Isn't this bad over here? He's also handsome, huh? ”

Qi Minghao seemed to hear the discussion of the girls here, smiled, and walked over.

"Girls, are you talking about me?"

He Qingzhi nodded vigorously, pointed at Qi Minghao and said to Wu Tiantian: "What about him?" This guy isn't that manly, but he's also handsome, right? ”

After Wu Tiantian glanced at Qi Minghao, he just smiled faintly, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

"Oh, I don't seem to be very popular!"

Qi Minghao shrugged his shoulders and turned around to leave. But Xia Yu suddenly asked, "Steward Qi, what about your alibi this morning?" ”

Qi Minghao turned his head, he squatted down, stretched out his gloved hand and spread it in front of He Qingzhi, and said with a smile: "I also want a tip." That's how I answer your question. ”

He Qingzhi opened her small wallet again with an "innocent" face, took out fifty yuan from it, and put it in Qi Minghao's palm. Qi Minghao smiled and withdrew his hand, squeezed it tightly, and opened his palm. The fifty dollars in the palm of his hand were gone.

"Huh?"

Xia Yu, who saw the magic with his own eyes, widened his eyes and looked very surprised. After being stunned for a while, she said nervously, "Where did the money go?" What about my living expenses for a week. ”

At this moment, it was Qi Minghao's turn to be stunned. But a few seconds later, he burst out laughing.

Qi Minghao smiled, clapped his hands twice, and when his hands parted again, Qi Minghao stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers next to He Qingzhi's ear.

"Look, isn't your money right here?"

He withdrew his hand, spread his palm, and stretched out his palm in front of He Qingzhi, as if it was an invitation.

This trick is really wonderful, and He Qingzhi also exhaled, and directly stretched out her hand to get the money back in the palm of her hand.

But......

In the palm of his hand, there is nothing!

Seeing that his outstretched palm was empty, Qi Minghao was also stunned for a moment.

His expression was a little dull, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also frozen.

Soon, though, a hand reached out from behind to his ear......

"Smack"!

A loud snap of his fingers made Qi Minghao turn his head directly and look at the tall man behind him.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Jin Yansen spread out his palm, and the fifty yuan in his palm looked sparkling in the light.

Seeing the banknote, Qi Minghao's face immediately darkened, and he stood up, the smile on the corner of his mouth also looked a little embarrassed.

Jin Yansen laughed, and directly stretched out his hand to hook his neck. Of course Qi Minghao refused, but unfortunately, under the suppression of Jin Yansen's power. He was also pinched directly under the armpit and dragged aside.

"You...... You! ”

"Oops. Don't you, you, you. ”

Jin Yansen dragged Qi Minghao, who looked a little angry, to the side and continued to clamp him to prevent this guy from escaping all at once. As for the soft fists that this college student waved on his arm, Jin Yansen could not care about it at all.

Qi Minghao's eyes widened, and then he shook his head violently. Jin Yansen also let go of him directly and let him get out of his armpit.

Jin Yansen hooked the corners of his lips, he raised his big hand and slapped Qi Minghao's thin shoulders heavily, once again encircled his neck and restrained him, which is one of the basic postures of martial arts.

No matter how inscrutable you look, how elegant you are, you can't splash water, you can't smoke, and you still look full of mystery, as long as you don't have as much strength as yourself, then you can be caught like this.

"Don't ...... Don't hold me! I...... I'm running out of breath! Hurry up and let me go! I...... My breath ...... My breath !! ”

Qi Minghao tried hard to escape from Jin Yansen's armpit. Anyway, the slightly sinister and mysterious feeling he had worked so hard to maintain before was now being caught in the trap and rapidly draining away!

He slammed Jin Yansen hard, but the fist was really soft. Jin Yansen waited until he was almost pinched before letting go of him so that he could pant against the wall.

"You...... You! ”

Jin Yansen looked at Qi Minghao, who was still panting there, and asked directly, "What about your alibi?" Tell me about it? ”

Qi Minghao turned his head sharply and looked at Jin Yansen with a very hostile look. That look has already made it clear that "Why should I tell you?" ".

However, this young man's hostile gaze was still much more tender than Zhao Qian's.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. If you weren't the only one who didn't have an alibi, the case would have been much simpler. If I remember correctly, you didn't have an alibi in the murder of Wu Qilun, right? Moreover, I heard that you are still a computer whiz, and you usually like black websites when you have nothing to do, hacking into databases or something. That alone is enough to get you involved with Hatsune Miku's designers. ”

Qi Minghao lowered his head and thought about it, and after that, he took a deep breath, and the formulaic smile he had seen before resurfaced on his face.

"Don't laugh, I know you love this formulaic smile. But before that, you should go to an acting class. ”

Qi Minghao looked at him indignantly: "Psychological consultant, right?" I understand! I'll remember you, Jin Yansen! ”

"It doesn't matter if I remember it or not, it's important to ...... Where were you then? ”

Qi Minghao snorted heavily, and finally spoke: "I'm also adjusting today's food in the kitchen." A lot of the waiters who came and went should be able to see me, just like they could see the dog man and woman over there. ”

Jin Yansen raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you don't have a high opinion of others?" ”

Qi Minghao didn't squeak, and after a while, he said again: "I am very efficient, and I will get everything done before half past ten in the morning." Then I went back to my room and went to sleep. ”

Jin Yansen: "Go back to your room and sleep?" If I'm not mistaken, you're Miss Michiko's housekeeper, right? Don't you pay attention to the people you serve? ”

A sinister smile flashed across the young man's face.

"Miss Michiko said she had a date in the evening and told me not to wait for her."

Jin Yansen: "Dating? What is the object ......? ”

Qi Minghao shrugged: "I don't know." I didn't have to ask about my boss's private activities. ”

Jin Yansen smiled: "So, do you have any thoughts on Michiko's usual style?" What kind of person is she? What are the characteristics of how you deal with people? Who are the usual social figures? What do you like to do? ”

Qi Minghao pinched his nose and thought about it, then said, "As far as I know, she is a more traditional Japanese woman. Relative to her age. In addition to being strict in her work, she treats people well and often takes her subordinates out to eat.

In terms of social interaction...... They were all middle-aged people with big bellies, and everyone smiled sweetly when they saw her. But this is from his staff who told her in the past, at least recently I haven't seen her meet with any middle-aged person like this. Maybe it's because of old age and decay. ”

"But I think she's supposed to be interesting to me. Otherwise, how could she have taken me out for the last few times? You say, although Miss Michiko is indeed quite beautiful, and she looks to be in her early thirties. But no matter what, she's old enough to be my mother, and I'm going to feel pressure. ”

Jin Yansen's deep eyes stared at him for a moment: "So, in order to relieve pressure, you went to steal her company's secrets and crack her company's defense network?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, but soon, he sighed and shook his head: "It seems that my skills are not good." I didn't expect her to know. I've tried a few IT jobs in the company, but none of them are at a good level. How did Michiko find out that I had hacked the company's website? She doesn't look like a very skilled person. ”

Jin Yansen: "Let's change the next question. Do you think Hatsune Miku has anything to do with this murder? ”

Qi Minghao: "Hatsune Miku?" To be honest, I don't know very much about this virtual idol. Is the name Hatsune Miku a kanji? Is there a Japanese name? It's weird......"

Jin Yansen: "What's strange?" ”

Qi Minghao: "In Japanese words, the word 'future' is not pronounced as ミク. The meaning of these two words is not the meaning of the future, and it does not mean anything to be exact. ”

Jin Yansen frowned, and his mind began to work.

The Chinese writing of Hatsune ミク, purely from the perspective of literal translation, is not Hatsune Miku?

So, is it only when the word ミク is simply associated with "Hatsune" that it is pronounced as "future"?

"By the way, Qi Minghao, can you tell me from the perspective of a computer master, the possibility of virtual idol materialization?"

Qi Minghao straightened his collar and took a deep breath. He said slowly, "It depends on how it materializes. If you look at it through a TV screen, it's no problem at all, and true 3D materialization is not so impossible. It's just more troublesome, and it consumes a lot of money. ”

"Oh?"

"It's very simple, the concert at the beginning of the singing of virtual idols used this stereoscopic projection technology. It's just that at that time it could only be called 25d. It's not a full 3D. In this way, people from a certain distance can already see the virtual idol on the stage as three-dimensional with the naked eye.

This technique seems to be trendy, but it's actually already being used. I remember a few years ago, there were singers who used this technique to sing live duets with deceased female singers. It's just that the technology at that time was still a little poor, and it still didn't look real. ”

In other words, can such technology really exist?

"But if you really want to do that. It would have to be a huge stage, and then there would have to be hundreds or thousands of people. It's not something that can be done in a nutshell. ”

Jin Yansen's brows furrowed even deeper, at least there was no such huge mechanism in that exploding bar, but if it wasn't for such a mechanism setting, how could Hatsune materialize and come out to kill?

That's the end of the inquiry.

After that, Jin Yansen asked a few more questions, but Qi Minghao was not very cooperative with the answers to these questions. Look at the time, it's close to 1 p.m.

Inside the restaurant. Jin Yansen and his party, Nie Qingchen, Qin Zhan, and the rookie police officers, a total of six people, sat around a simple long dining table.

Qin Zhan, as well as the rookie police officer, each held a simple red bean bread in their hands, and looked at the table listed on the table while nibbling on the water.

On the other side, Jin Yansen elegantly eats a small piece of beef kidney with Provencal honey, a special pinute with Mexican flavored chicken breast, and a small glass of Alpine soda. It's really exquisite.

Nie Qingchen took a sip of a glass of milk, and glanced at He Qingzhi's plate: "I said, let's order a little better, just a kung pao chicken will send your subordinates, is this the lunch you gave to my model?" ”

Jin Yansen glared at Nie Qingchen. Let this dead house continue to eat the authentic Spanish-style orthodox olive oil stewed seafood omelet in front of him - shrimp and green onion quiche.

He Qingzhi stuffed a small mouthful of kung pao chicken into her mouth and said, "It's because I like to eat Chinese food." “

"Tut-tut, you don't have to say nice things for him, he's a person who doesn't understand women, if you don't go back, follow me as a lawyer, I will definitely teach you hand in hand."

"Eat." Jin Yansen suddenly stuffed a mouthful of chicken breast into Nie Qingchen's mouth, and he could only make a "whoop" sound.

"How's it going? Can we identify the murderer? Qin Zhan exhaled and shook his head.

After taking a bite of the bread in his hand, he straightened up and looked at the ceiling, looking a little tired.
