Chapter 64: The Past Past

He Qingzhi glanced at Jin Yansen, will this "voice" sound again? He Qingzhi's hand touched the Five Emperor Money in her bag, if she used it......

"Qingzhi, what are you thinking?" Jin Yansen's voice interrupted He Qingzhi's thoughts.

"Didn't think about anything, senior." He Qingzhi put away the Five Emperors' money.

Jin Yansen tapped his temple, looked at his phone, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and said, "So, Captain Qin, since you suspect that Du Nan was not an accident, but was killed, then why do you want to come to this ship to investigate?" ”

Qin Zhan sighed, helplessly sharing resources, he said: "The night Du Nan died, someone saw him eating in the dining room. According to the CCTV footage in the dining room at the time, I was sure that the people who were eating with him at that time were the same people just now. ”

Nie Qingchen was surprised: "Those people just now? All of them? ”

Qin Zhan continued: "Michiko, Xiao Changsheng, Zhao Qian, Ito Katsushou. It's these four people. Because they were eating together at the time, they were the first suspects. After a full meal, Du Nan seemed to want to drive away by himself, but was stopped by the hotel's parking attendant. Subsequently, the four people left separately, leaving Du Nan alone by his car and vomiting. ”

But about half an hour later, a man wearing a big windbreaker covering his body and face approached Du Nan and helped him into the car. According to the hotel parking attendant at the time, Du Nan seemed to be very familiar with the visitor at that time, and put his hand directly on the other party's shoulder.

Zhao Qian continued: "Then, this "acquaintance" drove away with Du Nan. This person is suspected of committing a major crime, and I seriously suspect that this so-called "acquaintance" must be one of the four people who had dinner with him at the time. ”

Jin Yansen: "And then? ”

Qin Zhan: "Of course, who do you think I am?" I investigated Du Nan's social circle and found that he used to be the creator and arranger of these so-called virtual idols, and there is another person in his social circle who is still engaged in this industry, that person is named Qi Youliang, who used to be one of the developer members of the club.

Only now, this person's whereabouts are unknown, and our police are doing their best to track him down. But I think this man must be lurking somewhere on this ship. Someone here should be an accomplice hiding him. ”

"But, a member of the former Society?"

Nie Qingchen pinched his chin and thought about it. Nodding lightly –

"Isha is a Japanese company that created Hatsune Miku. It can also be said that he is the first top boss to make virtual idols really popular all over the world. It's a pity that it went bankrupt later due to the inability to recover the funds and was acquired by other virtual idol companies. Hatsune Miku also disappeared after just a few years. At the end of the day, it's all these bastard guys who hurt my Miku who has no new singing and no new clothes to wear! ”

He Qingzhi supported her forehead, and the lawyer's death house complex was triggered again.

Jin Yansen was also a little speechless, he ignored Nie Qingchen and sorted out the case with Qin Zhan. After that, they interrogated the others in a simple way, and at the request of the others, Jin Yansen and his party were also interrogated by Qin Zhan and them, and the result was that except for Jin Yansen and his party who had been together, between 2100 and 100 the next morning when Wu Qilun died, almost all the rest of the people did not have a complete alibi.

Due to the abundance of nightlife on the cruise, almost all of these people hang out elsewhere and barely come back to sleep until morning. Naturally, don't mention what alibi proves.

This also confirms Cheng Yao's words, in the middle of the night, it is completely normal to have no alibi.

However, when all of them have no alibi, what can they do to completely disappear like smoke after killing Wu Qilun?

Jin Yansen came to room 3B and looked at the door that had been locked all along.

After taking the electronic key he had taken from the front desk from Qin Zhan's hand, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed it. The room was empty.

Perhaps because there are no guests, the furnishings in the room are very simple. There are no frills.

He looked around, wondering what the hell the dark shadow in the video was going to do here.

Does that dark shadow have anything to do with this murder?

If there is no such thing as a person who comes to this room at that night, its purpose. Why, exactly?

Walking into the empty bedroom, Jin Yansen finally found something.

It was a very old-looking DVD.

The disc sits on the bedside table like that. And on the side of the bedside table. There is a small portable DVD player.

The cover of the disc is a green double ponytail girl that Jin Yansen is familiar with now.

She has a microphone in her hand and appears to be singing. On the cover there is this line of words: Dedicated to my loveliest daughter, the future.

And after putting this disc into the DVD player, the figure of the two-ponytail girl in the picture who is singing on the stage, full of innocence, full of vitality and youth, is so moving.

On the third day, early in the morning.

The sky that used to be very clear is now gray.

Looking down from the edge of the window, even the originally clear blue water has become turbid.

Today is still the day of the ship's holiday, people get up, tidy up their things, and after breakfast, they go to enjoy the various entertainment facilities on board.

For them, it's just a slightly bad day, right?

But for He Qingzhi, who opened her eyes and just woke up, this is not a day to relax and have fun.

She yawned and stretched, for her, who had always had a regular schedule, she only felt that her whole brain was very heavy when she slept at almost three o'clock in the morning last night.

After getting dressed and walking out of the door, I just saw Qin Zhan, who had dark circles under his eyes, dragging the rookie police officer and rushing to the scene of the 3A crime. He swiped the door open with a magnetic card and said loudly, "I know!" There must be a secret room! There must be hidden passages that we don't know about at the moment! As long as the secret passage is found, then this secret room murder case will be completely solved! ”

Qin Zhan's face is the kind of person who is very persistent and will never let go if he identifies one thing. His straightforward personality naturally makes him easy to offend people.

He Qingzhi stretched her waist, ignoring Qin Zhan, who had entered the room to investigate, and walked towards the cafeteria below.

There are a lot of passengers on the cruise ship.

He Qingzhi put on special glasses and pressed the switch. The virtual idols who are constantly walking back and forth are constantly interacting with the passengers around them, laughing and laughing.

It seems that the fact that someone was killed should not have caused much frustration in the overall style of the ship.

"Morning, Ji is charming."

Facing a girl in ancient costume who was holding a baked cake and chewing a lot, heard He Qingzhi's words, turned around, and after seeing He Qingzhi, the girl with a face full of sesame seeds raised her head and smiled innocently at her. After that, she continued to lower her head and nibble on the pancakes.

Passing over this virtual idol, He Qingzhi couldn't help laughing.

In fact, these virtual idols are indeed very cute, so innocent age, her eyes didn't see those strange spirits, so the murderer should be a "human".

After wandering around, He Qingzhi finally decided to go for a cup of coffee to wake up. After all, it was almost dawn before I fell asleep, and I was still a little dazed.

Following the ship's map guide, Jin Yansen unconsciously walked to the largest bar on the entire Victoria. As soon as he entered here, the dim and nostalgic lights combined with the slowly singing music directly made Jin Yansen feel like he wanted to fall asleep here again.

"Give me a cup of coffee, please."

The bartender smiled, and soon, a cup of fragrant coffee was handed over and placed in front of Jin Yansen.

"Little sister, it's rare to ask for coffee at a bar."

Turning his head, a beautiful woman in a kimono sat down gracefully on the back chair.

In normal times, the combination of kimono and bar may not be harmonious. But He Qingzhi saw in this woman a feeling that turned incongruity into harmony. She sat there gracefully. Two clogs are placed on white socks peeking out from under the kimono. The world says that the charm of still exists, and I am afraid that this is what I am talking about.

He Qingzhi smiled and raised the coffee cup in her hand and raised it towards Michiko.

This Yamato Nadeshiko also raised the sake glass in his hand, covered it with the long sleeves of his kimono, and took a sip.

He Qingzhi put down the coffee cup and began to look the Japanese woman up and down.

"Little Detective Sister, are you suspicious of me?"

"I'm not a detective." He Qingzhi took a sip of coffee and replied lightly.

The woman generously lowered her sake glass, and her movements were full of charm.

"Little sister, I remember that you used to be Wu Qilun's girlfriend, right?"

The smile on Michiko's face rose again, and she said, "Didn't you say it all last night, it was all ten or twenty years ago." I was young at the time. Little sister, if you still suspect that I killed someone because of my feelings, then I will have waited too long. ”

He Qingzhi shook her head gently: "I think so too." Ms. Michiko shouldn't be so naΓ―ve and kill someone because of a failed love affair twenty years ago. However, I think that in the incident of Wu Qilun's killing, the motive should account for a very large extent. ”

Michiko raised her eyebrows: "What do you say?" ”

"I know deep down that the most difficult thing to guess in a case is not the modus operandi, but the motive behind the killing."

"Motive for killing?" Michiko smiled.

He Qingzhi picked up the cup and drank the coffee in her hand, and suddenly felt a little better.

"Du Nan's death, presumably you should also be clear, right?"

At this moment, Michiko, who was originally smiling, her face became ugly again.

"What I saw in the middle of these two murders was not the details of an impossible crime. It's a real killing intent. ”

"It's a murderous intent that's hard to put into words, carrying hatred, hatred, helplessness, pain and sadness. I don't know what Du Nan and Wu Qilun did to make the killer have such a strong hatred.

But I know that this hatred will definitely support this person to continue to stand behind Hatsune Miku, continue to use this virtual idol who was a smash hit twenty years ago as an executioner, and continue to cleanse his heart of hatred with blood. ”

Michiko was silent.

She picked up the glass in her hand again and drank it down.

After a while, she put down the wine glass in her hand, turned her head, and no longer had a smile on her face, but looked at Jin Yansen very lightly.

"Little sister, what do you want to ask, ask. If it was something I knew, I would consider telling you one by one. ”

"Thank you."

Jin Yansen exhaled and turned his head to look at the bar.

The dΓ©cor is not very luxurious and looks a little dated. But this nostalgic style looks just right. It's only morning, and there's hardly anyone in the bar. Only the bartender stood behind the bar, slowly wiping down his glasses.

"First of all, I want to ask, how much do you know about Qi Youliang?"

Michiko raised her head slightly and said slowly, "We have known each other before, and we have worked together. But soon we parted ways. He continued to be his programmer, and I got into the entertainment industry. After a while, I set up a fashion design company, and I had almost no contact with him. Probably...... It's been ten years. ”

"Oh? So, Miss Michiko used to be a programmer? As far as I know, Qi Youliang used to design virtual idols. Hatsune Miku was created by him and several others. So, Michiko-sama, you're one of Hatsune's designers, right? ”

Michiko's face was cold, and there was no change: "Not only Qi Youliang, but also Wu Qilun Sang." At that time, MIKU was very popular, and we had hundreds of designers. I'm barely one of them. However, I was mainly responsible for the design of the stage and costumes, not the program and sound. ”

He Qingzhi raised her eyebrows: "Oh? That...... May I be bold enough to ask? Are Mr. Katsutoshi Ito and Mr. Xiao Changsheng also one of the designers? ”

Michiko said lightly: "If you want to say yes, then there is no problem." Mr. Ito was the main funder at the time, and it was with his operating funds that MIKU became popular. And Mr. Xiao Changsheng is the one who bought MIKU and the company after we auctioned it. ”

Jin Yansen nodded lightly: "In other words, the three of you, as well as the killed Wu Qilun, Du Nan, and Qi Youliang, whose current whereabouts are unknown, all have some degree of connection with Hatsune Miku. Well, this one should be written down. ”

As an errand, He Qingzhi took out her mobile phone to record the conversation, and then let it be played to Jin Yansen and them later.

"So, did you come to the Victoria cruise this time by pre-agreement?"
