Chapter 68: Alibi
"Want me to stop the show? Are you kidding? Do you know how much preparation I put into this show? How much effort did it take? That catwalk is my life now!
Do you think it took me a lot of effort to bring in so many international fashion celebrities? Do you know how many pairs of eyes are on this ship, the chairman of the Flying Gull Cruise Group? Stop the show? It's a big joke! ”
After roaring, the fat man twisted his big ass and walked to the bar next to him, snatched a cocktail that Yuan Jie was making in his hand, drank it all with a grunt, and threw the wine glass in his hand directly at Yuan Jie. turned around and faced Jin Yansen again.
Yuan Jie took the flying wine glass with his bare hands in an inconspicuous way, and gently and skillfully placed it on the table.
"And, you want me to stop the show just because you kill two people? I, Xiao Changsheng, the chairman of the cruise group, am I a person who is so easily scared? I tell you, young man, that I have experienced so much more in my life than you have ever experienced! I was deceived, betrayed, and used as a monkey for three years! Want to threaten me? I tell you, there are no doors either! ”
"Yes, you want to threaten my immortality? Who has such guts? ”
Cheng Yao, who was next to him, finally posted it at this time. She snuggled in Xiao Changsheng's arms, and Xiao Changsheng also reached out with a big laugh, pinched Cheng Yao's chin, and kissed her on the lips.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Jie in the back still had a smile on his face. But there was no way to escape Jin Yansen's eyes with a chill in that smile.
"That's it! I don't care how you're going to investigate, I'm leaving anyway! Now that two people have died on board, I, as chairman, have even more responsibilities on my shoulders. You policemen, lawyers, and psychological counselors, catch the murderer for me as soon as possible! Otherwise, don't blame me for making a fuss in the media and saying that your police are not doing well! ”
After speaking, Xiao Changsheng's horizontal flesh was directly pulled out, and he was about to walk out with Cheng Yao's thin waist around him.
Of course, Qin Zhan would never have let him leave like this, so he stopped him directly in front of him and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Xiao, I want to know, where were you from 0:00 to 2:00 this morning?" Do what? ”
Xiao Changsheng's face looked extremely impatient, and he directly turned his head. And Cheng Yao snorted and said, "Changsheng and I have been singing in the dance hall since ten o'clock last night, and there are many people who can testify. Changsheng sang a song for me when he was still at midnight. ”
Qin Zhan didn't stop there, but continued to ask with a gloomy face, "So, when did you leave?" After singing? Some? ”
"One o'clock in the morning, is that enough? We went back to our rooms and went to sleep. ”
Xiao Changsheng interrupted Cheng Yao's words very impatiently, and stretched out his hand and pressed it directly on Qin Zhan's shoulder: "Okay, okay?" Get out of the way! ”
Zhao Qian didn't let him, and continued to ask with a gloomy face: "I want to search the room of the two of you." Of course, it's everyone's room......"
"Get out!"
Xiao Changsheng raised his foot angrily and kicked directly towards Zhao Qian's abdomen.
However, he didn't kick it. Jin Yansen had already appeared behind Qin Zhan at some point, pulling him to take a step back. After that, he replaced Qin Zhan and stood in front of Xiao Changsheng.
With a smile but a cold and cruel look, he looked at Xiao Changsheng condescendingly.
Jin Yansen's eyes made the fat man look a little uncomfortable, and he looked away.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I'll let the sailors protect me." So you don't have to worry about me being killed, right? Anyway, tonight's dance continues! No one can interrupt my arrangement. Not even God! ”
With that, Xiao Changsheng walked out of the door of the room directly with Cheng Yao in his arms and walked towards his room. For his interrogation, I guess that's all for it.
"If there is a search warrant, I will definitely check the details of this fat man!"
Qin Zhan clenched his fists, looking unwilling.
Jin Yansen held his chin and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at He Qingzhi.
"What's ...... A special find? ”
He Qingzhi saw something unfathomable in Jin Yansen's eyes, did he know anything about her?
She shook her head gently as she met his eyes.
It's really nothing special, but it's also very special, it stands to reason that the souls of the two people who died in vain should still be floating on the cruise ship, but she can't see or feel it.
At this time, there was a slight shaking under his feet again, He Qingzhi planted an unstable body directly to the ground, Jin Yansen hurriedly reached out and grabbed her arm, both of them had an unstable center of gravity and hit the wall together.
"Are you alright?"
"It's fine."
The distance between the two is extremely close, and the breath is intertwined with each other, making people have a slight throbbing.
The cruise ship stabilized, and the two people separated at this moment.
"Senior, I'll go over there and have a look." He Qingzhi only felt that the temperature on her face was a little high, and she wanted to go to an empty place to breathe.
"Hmm." Jin Yansen didn't have much expression, and responded lightly.
Nie Qingchen walked over to the Japanese Ito Katsushou over there at the signal of Jin Yansen.
He asked in Japanese, "Mr. Ito, where are you from 0 to 2 o'clock in the morning today?" What to do? ”
Ito Katsushou raised his head slightly, and after glancing at Nie Qingchen, the corner of the man's mouth showed a slight sneer.
"I thought you were very principled, but I didn't expect you to have a side of admiring foreign people. Even though you know that I can speak Chinese, you still speak Japanese to me to show me 'care'? ”
Nie Qingchen also sneered. That beautiful face perfectly illustrates what it means to be the ultimate beautiful man: "I really like it...... No, I love your country's ACG and otaku culture. But I will not forgive anyone who dares to slander my idol, no matter what nationality it is.
I say Japanese to you to prevent you from prevaricating with the reason that you can only speak, but not very proficient in Chinese, after answering some flawed words in Chinese. To tell you the truth, I have defended several foreign nationals, and I have used the clause 'not proficient in the language' to retract their unfavorable confessions in Chinese. The effect is not bad. ”
Facing Nie Qingchen's beautiful face, Ito Katsushou just snorted and said, "Okay, I'll answer you." I've been in the tea room on the 12th floor of the cabin since 2300 last night. It makes me feel very peaceful, away from you noisy Chinese who only know how to make a scene. It wasn't until 0045 in the early hours of the morning that I left and went back to my room to rest. ”
Nie Qingchen: "Is there anyone who can testify for you during this time?" ”
Katsutoshi Ito: "I have a few friends. I can give you their contact details if you want. But later, when you go to collect evidence, it's best to pay attention to the way you speak. To put it mildly, my friends are some of the most important figures in our country's political arena. If you have a diplomatic problem because of such a small lawyer, I don't think you can afford it. ”
Nie Qingchen didn't care, and after writing down the contact information of the friend provided by Katsushou Ito, he went out to call.
On the other side, when Nie Qingchen was talking to Ito Katsushou, Jin Yansen handed Zhao Qian a cigarette.
The slightly gray-haired butler didn't take it directly, but looked at Ito Katsushou and Nie Qingchen who were talking over there. However, when Jin Yansen stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of him, he turned around.
It was only now that Jin Yansen was able to take a good look at the eldest housekeeper. His sideburns were slightly white, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes looked sharp when he looked at others, but they were not the feeling of pure cleanliness.
This kind of gaze gives Jin Yansen a feeling of "even if you don't have any flaws, you have to dig out a 'flaw' on you with a knife and fork".
For this kind of look, Jin Yansen felt very familiar. He had learned from his studies of criminal psychology that this kind of beating had maintained a fierce hateful gaze from the beginning, enough to make anyone feel the spikes in this middle-aged man. He was covered in a feeling of "don't come near me".
"Don't smoke? Very good habits. ”
Zhao Qian was silent and did not express any kindness to Jin Yansen.
Jin Yansen's eyes glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and continued to ask, "Mr. Zhao Qian, are you Guigeng this year?" ”
Zhao Qian turned his head away and continued to look at Jin Yansen with that hostile eye.
However, this time, after hostility, he finally opened his mouth and said slowly: "65 years old." ”
He speaks Japanese.
Jin Yansen raised his eyebrows: "...... What do you say? ”
After another moment of silence, Zhao Qian finally said his age in Chinese.
"65 years old? I can't see it, but your name is Zhao Qian, and I originally thought you were Chinese. ”
This time, Zhao Qian's silence was a little shorter: "I understand what you want to say, Mr. Jin." ”
Jin Yansen: "There is no point in discussing which nationality you are. So, let's bring the topic back. It's time to retire, right? How can you still come out and do things? What about your children? ”
Mention children. Zhao Qian's face was a little gloomy in an instant. He turned his head and glared at Jin Yansen, and after hesitating for a long time, he said coldly: "This has nothing to do with you." ”
Jin Yansen narrowed his eyes: "Then Mr. Zhao Qian, I want to ask you, between 0 and 2 o'clock in the morning, where are you?" Can anyone prove it? ”
"When Mr. Ito was drinking tea, I was always there for me. It wasn't until 145 that I sent it back to my room, and then I went back to my room. ”
After Jin Yansen took out his notes and recorded them, he asked again, "You just said that you have been with you?" Is it within line of sight? ”
"Yes."
"That is, between 0:00 and 145 in the morning, you and your master, Mr. Katsutoshi Ito, were witnesses to each other. But, after 145, you don't have any alibi. ”
Zhao Qian didn't speak, and his eyes were once again filled with that slightly hostile color. This kind of look also made Jin Yansen know that he should change his way of thinking.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao Qian, I understand your testimony now, and I will check it later. Also......"
Jin Yansen closed his notebook, and said with a smile on his face: "You are interested in Hatsune Miku...... What do you think? ”
At this moment, the hostile expression on Zhao Qian's face became even more intense. Jin Yansen knew this kind of look, which was a look that concealed something.
Zhao Qian was silent for a while, and finally spoke again: "I mean, I don't know. I can't understand Hatsune Miku, a virtual idol, at all. ”
Jin Yansen's deep eyes stared at him tightly: "So, do you think it's completely unclear why Hatsune Miku is used as the executioner in these serial murders?" ”
"Yes. I don't know at all. ”
The communication with the old gentleman was not very smooth, for he always had such a hostile feeling that it was really difficult to approach.
However, it is not clear at all...... Is this credible?
"So, what do you think of the two people who were killed, Wu Qilun and Miss Michiko? Do you know these two people? ”
The hostile color on Zhao Qian's face eased slightly, he straightened his waist, closed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "I don't know very well about these two. If I knew, I would have told you. ”
"Can we digress a little bit, then?"
Jin Yansen smiled, and very simply stuffed the notepad in his hand into his arms and said, "I know that you are very hostile to my inquiry. To be honest, I also think that such a conversation is terrible and completely meaningless. What do you think? ”
Zhao Qian simply closed his eyes and didn't say a word.
When Zhao Qian's eyes focused on He Qingzhi over there, He Qingzhi's face was slightly baby fat, and she tilted her head to think about the problem, looking simple and cute.
Looking at it like this, his gaze gradually faded away from those sharpness and became softer......
"That lawyer likes Hatsune Miku very much, and my intern was planning to cos Hatsune, but you should remember the incident when your master reprimanded him."
Zhao Qian turned his head slowly, and he glanced at Katsutoshi Ito, who was sitting on the sofa with an indifferent expression. looked at He Qingzhi over there again, and for a while, her lips couldn't help moving.
"That intern is still a student, so your child should be about the same age as he is. Today's children may not be able to understand what they are thinking, but no matter how nonsense they are, they are always their own children, and we will protect them in the future. Is that right? ”
I don't know if it's because of Jin Yansen's words, the expression on Zhao Qian's face finally began to soften.
After a while, he finally turned his head again, glanced at Jin Yansen, exhaled deeply, and slowly opened his mouth: "If you can, protect your daughter in the future." They...... It's really cute. If I could, I believe that every father would like to be able to protect his daughters for the rest of their lives and not let them be harmed in any way."
This is probably the first time that Zhao Qian confided a little bit of true emotion to Jin Yansen in such a tone.
And after saying this, he kept his gentlemanly silence again. Although he looked at Jin Yansen, there was no longer that kind of hostility in his eyes. However, it still seemed impossible to get more information from his mouth.
He Qingzhi looked at Yuan Jie.
This mild-mannered, seemingly a good young man, a college student who is a pillar of the new era, has nothing to do with a murderer.
His smile really gives people a warmth like a spring breeze, and a feeling like a big brother next door.
Decent, gentle, generous. After seeing this expression, which was not handsome to the point of being explosive, but still very handsome, it can be said that He Qingzhi's impression of him naturally increased a lot at the beginning.
However, his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, it was a businesslike smile, and as soon as he spoke, the distance between his eyebrows was very close, so that he seemed to have a feeling of rejection from thousands of miles away.
"Yuan Jie, can you tell me about your age and education? Graduation school? Specialized? ”
The smile on Yuan Jie's face was still the same, he was different from Qi Minghao next to him, who could clearly tell at a glance that it was a bad smile and a sneer. This smile seemed to be completely sincere, but he never expected to meet someone who could look at faces.
"Yes. I'm 22 years old, Department of Finance, Westgate University, undergraduate. ”
"Westside University? That's right, high-achieving students! However, if you don't look for a better job after graduation, how can you come to this ship to be a housekeeper? ”
Yuan Jie looked at the little girl in front of him with her hands on her hips and looked a little old-fashioned, and smiled.
After that, he suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of He Qingzhi, stretched out his white-gloved hand and pressed it on his chest, and said very deferentially and gently: "If I say it's to meet you, Miss, isn't it too contrived?" ”
Well, first of all, Yuan Jie is quite handsome.
Then, he did this movement very standardly, perfectly, very elegantly.
If this sentence came out of Nie Qingchen's mouth, it would mean ridicule and obscenity. If it came out of Jin Yansen's mouth...... Is it possible? I'm afraid I'm thinking too much!
But when it comes out of the mouth of such a sunny boy, there is a light and gentle taste in it.
I believe that as long as it is a girl, eighty percent will blush because of such a sentence......
But...... He Qingzhi didn't have a little heartbeat!
He Qingzhi thought for a while, took out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to him with both hands, "As a shopkeeper, I have already given you a tip." So, you have to tell me everything I want to inquire about. Otherwise, I'll complain. ”
This is what He Qingzhi learned to threaten people from watching a certain online drama some time ago, but she is a poor student with no family and does not have much money.
Yuan Jie looked at the fifty yuan in his palm, smiled bitterly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wrapped it carefully, and put it in his pocket.
"What do you want to ask?"
