Chapter 65: Why Kill Me
Michiko smiled: "Little sister, you don't have enough information to gather." The virtual idol show was held by Mr. Wu Qilun's GA Hi-Tech Development Co., Ltd. and Mr. Ito Katsutoshi's ACG Co., Ltd. The cruise ship is provided by Mr. Xiao Changsheng's cruise group. I'm a costume designer, so it's a matter of course that I came to participate. ”
"Ms. Michiko, I think you misunderstood what I meant, I mean ......" He Qingzhi paused slightly and then raised his eyes to look at her: "When you proposed to get on this cruise ship, did you all decide to live in the VIP room on the third floor, all of your own ideas?" ”
At this moment, Michiko was slightly stunned.
The lights in the bar seem to be a little dim now.
After a moment of silence, the Yamato Nadeshiko took a small bag she had placed on the bar counter and pulled out a beautiful envelope from it.
When I opened it, it was written all over Japanese.
"This is an invitation from someone who has not signed it, who has sent it to my residence. The hotel's key card is also included. I think it should have been sent by Mr. Xiao Changsheng. ”
Xiao Changsheng...... Is it?
He Qingzhi carefully checked the invitation letter, and the handwriting on it was all printed by the computer.
"But then I asked Mr. Xiao Changsheng, and he said that he had not sent anything like this. And he himself received an invitation, and he thought that someone wanted to surprise him, so he simply didn't send an invitation and went straight to participate. ”
He Qingzhi's expression instantly condensed.
Don't know who sent the invitation? It's really getting harder and harder to understand.
"Okay, then I'll sort it out now. Miss Michiko, Wu Qilun, Xiao Changsheng, Ito Katsutoshi, Qi Youliang, Du Nan, all six of you used to be virtual idols, designers of Hatsune Miku. But now, in the name of Hatsune Miku, someone has killed Du Nan and Wu Qilun among you. ”
"After that, you were all invited onto the ship by some unknown person, and entered the VIP cabin on this level. In other words, can I confirm that the remaining three of you, you, Katsutoshi Ito, and Mr. Xiao Changsheng are also one of the targets of the murderer? ”
With a "Kala", the sake glass in Michiko's hand slammed heavily on the bar and made a sound.
Her complexion didn't look very good. Maybe that's how you feel when you know you've been targeted by someone you don't know.
"Okay, so now let's sort out the others. In addition to you, the people who live in the VIP area on the third floor, including us, are connected to Hatsune in some way. ”
"Then, I want to ask, in addition to those of us, your housekeeper Qi Minghao, our housekeeper Yuan Jie. and Xiao Changsheng's housekeeper Wu Tiantian, and Ito Katsusu's housekeeper Zhao Qian. plus Xiao Changsheng's mistress Cheng Yao. What kind of relationship do these five people have with Hatsune Miku? Did they really end up on this ship by chance? ”
Michiko was silent for a moment, she picked up the bottle and wanted to pour it more, but alas, the bottle was empty.
"I want to ...... It should not be accidental. ”
Michiko sighed slightly and closed her eyes. Soon, she opened her eyes again: "At that drinking party two months ago, I had already met Cheng Yao and Yuan Jie. Wu Tiantian and Zhao Qian are four people. Mr. Qi Minghao is a new staff member of our company. When I get to Japan, he will be my secretary and work for me. ”
"At that time. Yuan Jie, Wu Tiantian, and Miss Cheng Yao are all with Mr. Xiao Changsheng. Mr. Yuan and Ms. Wu should be interns from the same university and enter the cruise line for internship. It seems that he was able to accompany Xiao Changsheng because of his good performance. Originally, the two of them were supposed to serve Mr. Xiao Changsheng and Miss Cheng Yao respectively. However, because Miss Cheng Yao has been arguing about not having two people, she will arrange Yuan Jie to follow you in the end. ”
He Qingzhi nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see." Yuan Jie was rejected by Cheng Yao. Mm-hmm, that's interesting. So, what about Mr. Wu Qilun's housekeeper? How not? Do you know that? ”
Miss Michiko nodded lightly: "Wu Qilun is a person who prefers to be quiet. He refused the butler service from the beginning, so there was no arrangement. ”
That's it. He Qingzhi has already asked everything he wants to ask.
If all the character relationships in Michiko's mouth are not lying, then the character relationships are really quite simple.
He Qingzhi took out her VIP card, swiped it lightly on the card reader, and said very generously: "Thank you very much." Miss Michiko. This glass of wine is considered to have been invited by me. However, I hope you don't run around at night. After all, on this ship, there is a virtual idol who can kill people. ”
A smile made the expression of Yamato Nadeshiko return to that dignified and gentle again.
He Qingzhi asked the waiter for two more bottles of milk and went up to the third floor again and came to the door of her room.
As soon as He Qingzhi got out of the elevator, she saw Jin Yansen coming out of the room.
"Senior, have you had breakfast?"
"Nope." Jin Yansen stood there coolly with one hand in his pocket.
"Well, here's for you." As she spoke, He Qingzhi handed him a bottle of milk.
"I ...... Wait, I'll take a call. ”
The voice on the phone came through the quiet hallway. It was Qin Zhan's voice, his voice seemed very anxious on the phone, and he wanted Jin Yansen to go over and help, and investigate the scene again to see if there was anything to discover.
Jin Yansen hung up the phone and looked at He Qingzhi: "Call Long Tao to come with me." ”
And just like that, an afternoon passed in such an investigation.
Qin Zhan went to see the cameras again, but when he came back an hour later, his face was still as disappointed.
Until the evening, and even until dinner, Jin Yansen only saw Qin Zhan holding a cigarette in his mouth, constantly rubbing his hands, and muttering, "This is impossible." It's absolutely impossible" and something like that.
And such a day, too, without any gain, gradually returned to darkness.
In the evening, the storm came.
The largest and safest ship was now swaying in the raging sea of darkness.
Pierce the darkness with lightning bolts and tear through the clouds.
The shaking of the ship gives a feeling of unease.
The sailors who were still taking care of the third VIP floor were now urgently transferred by the captain and tried to control the giant ship.
A huge wave crashed head-on into the bow of the Victoria.
The spill swept across as if it were about to engulf the ship completely.
Dark waves passed......
A young girl, now standing at the bow of the ship.
The dark splash of oil in front of her didn't seem to daunt her at all, she just held on to the guardrail at the bow of the boat, stood there gently, then raised her head and closed her eyes......
The wind blew her green ponytail.
In the midst of this storm, her mouth opened slightly...... It seems to be singing something.
Another wave slammed down and hit the bow of the ship again.
The entire bow of the Victoria was lifted by the huge waves, and the splash of water that jumped from the bow even flew directly over the entire hull of the ship, until it was behind it and fell unwillingly into the dark sea.
No one noticed that the girl in the bow of the boat was now, as she had appeared when she appeared, and had disappeared into the waves......
The wine glasses on the bar are gently moved.
But the lights are still elegant, and the music still reverberates here.
"Would you like to help yourself?"
The bartender at the bar put down his glass and spoke politely to the woman sitting at the bar.
This beauty has not moved since the beginning of the morning. I have been sitting on this chair and savoring these sake.
Her posture of tasting wine is very beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people's hearts warm, and she just wants to get closer.
Michiko exhaled softly. The sake gives her breath a faint aroma of rice, which makes people feel very refreshed.
She placed the sake glass in her hand on the table, smiled at the bartender in front of her, and nodded slightly.
"Yes. I'm waiting for someone. ”
"Okay, feel free to do so."
It's very late, and on this stormy night, the rocking of the boat has made many passengers lose the interest of clubbing here.
There was no one in the bar anymore, except for the Japanese woman who was still sitting alone on the two-seater sofa next to the buffet bar, drinking sake and picking up some side dishes on the table with chopsticks, eating slowly.
She looks elegant.
The self-service bar with no one gave her the feeling that she was the only one in the whole world.
After going through so many things, sometimes people just want to be alone, stay where they like, drink a little wine, and feel this feeling of slow heartbeat.
The hand in the kimono is slowly raised. She took out her special glasses, put them on, and pressed the switch.
After a faint ripple of water, an equally elegant virtual woman appeared opposite Michiko. She picked up the wine glass in her hand. Gently raised it towards Michiko, raised her head, and drank slowly.
"You know what? The best thing about communicating with you avatars is that you don't have to worry about you saying it. ”
Michiko also raised her glass. I clinked glasses with the virtual idol on the other side, covered them with kimonos, and drank them elegantly.
"How many years...... How many years have it taken me to get to where I am now? ”
"It's been a really hard ride...... There are also a lot of troubles. But. I got through it. Get through the pain. ”
The corners of Michiko's mouth turned up slightly, with a victorious smile.
"Wu Qilun is dead. Although it is not known who killed him. But he died after all, and it seems that he died a terrible death. ”
"Du Nan also died, was hit and killed. Of the people who laughed at me that I was just an embroidered pillow, with no acting skills at all, and could only be used as a foil in the Hatsune Project, the two of them were the ones who ridiculed me the most. ”
This elegant woman can now let go of her gentle side in front of others and let her heart reveal without reservation.
confided in the only audience member across from her.
"Who killed them? Hmph, there are so many examples that I can come up with. The two of them don't know how many people they have offended on the road of business. Even I've been on their thief ship. I don't know who killed them, but I really want to thank this person. You say, right? ”
The virtual idol on the opposite side smiled and picked up the sake glass in his hand, showing a slight crimson on his face, which looked very beautiful.
"I'm not like them. Over the years, I have worked diligently, and I have never offended anyone. I just used my own resources, and I didn't hurt anyone at all. If there is only one person left alive on this ship, then I believe that this person is definitely me. ”
Michiko smiled heartily, picked up her glass, and drank it all.
"Hatsune Miku...... Yes...... It's been a long time since I've heard that name. Oh, that old guy Katsutoshi Ito specially used Hatsune's style to do some perverted things, and even asked me to help him complete the motion capture. And Xiao Changsheng, that guy's acquisition of Hatsune Miku also wants to use its value, right?
But he also doesn't want to think about it, how can they focus on being virtual idols if they are cruise companies? I was not mistaken, after a few times of propaganda with no effect, it was shelved. Overall, the fat guy is just a guy who wants to play a ticket when he sees what's popular. ”
"Also, Qi Minghao...... I'll tell you, that computer genius isn't really a thing. Did she think I didn't know anything? Before I officially took office, I began to hack into my company's database to try to succeed. Fight with me, he is still a little tender. ”
"These people are all bad people...... That's right, all of them! ”
After another drink, the sake was already empty and empty.
Michiko's face was flushed, and she leaned back slightly, exhaling. Behind those special glasses, his eyes are now slightly narrowed.
"Hmm......? Am I drunk? How did you...... Doesn't seem right? ”
The mature virtual idol in the special glasses, her image, began to be a little distorted.
Like an old TV, after a pattern, the virtual idol disappears.
At this moment, the entire bar became empty.
It seems that even the lights on the ceiling have become extremely dim at this moment.
Michiko took off her glasses depressedly and looked at them, then stuffed them into her arms, staggered, and stood up.
Dressed in clogs, he walked towards the door.
Cluck, cluck.
The sound is crisp, pleasant, and has a slight rhythm.
Michiko yawned, looked up in a daze, and looked at the entrance to the bar.
There, a man stood.
But because of the dim lighting, she couldn't see who the person really was.
The Yamato Nadeshiko smiled and said in Japanese, "Who are you...... Yes? Coming too...... Have a drink? ”
The man at the door didn't speak, but just quietly, taking two steps towards Michiko.
This person didn't walk fast, and the distance between her and Michiko standing at the door was not too short.
But no matter how long the distance is, there will always be a shortened day, and no matter how slow the speed, there will always be a moment of arrival.
Finally, in the slightly dim light, the person at the door completely appeared in Michiko's retina.
At that moment......
The drunken Michiko was stunned for a moment.
But in the same way, drunk, she smiled slightly, and stepped forward again-
“MIKU? Hello? How have you been? ”
Hatsune Miku, the girl stood in front of Michiko with a cold face. Those slightly emerald green pupils looked so cold at the moment......
"What's wrong with you, Miku? You're going to kill the two people who hurt you, that's good, come on! I knew that one day you would become material. And then...... You're going to get revenge on them! Take revenge on those who ruined you, ruined the dreams you represented, ruined your life, made you disappear, left you forgotten from people's memories! Tell me, who are you going to kill next? I'm definitely not going to say it......"
Michiko smiled and wanted to reach out to take Hatsune Miku's hand that appeared in front of her.
Hatsune also raised her hand in the same way, and then waved it down at Michiko's hand......
"Huh?"
At that moment, Michiko didn't seem to feel pain.
She just watched her wrists fall off her cuffs, and then looked at the red liquid in her arms that flowed out like an unturned faucet.
She raised her wrist, which had no palm, and looked up with a slight blur at the green-haired girl with two ponytails in front of her......
Looking at her, he slowly raised a fire axe in his hand. The bloodshot blade of the axe was like that without any hesitation......
"Kara!"
Swing down.
"Ahh Michiko screamed......
She clutched her half-cut left shoulder, screaming incessantly.
It was only at this moment that she really woke up to the fact that she was definitely not dreaming, but was really in the crisis of death!
"Help! Help me! ”
She began to run into the bar, clutching her badly injured shoulder, her beautiful kimono now stained with blood.
And that murderer...... Hatsune Miku, who was armed with an axe, turned around slowly, and gently closed the door to the bar. This bar with excellent sound insulation and allowing many wealthy people to enjoy the privacy of this place has completely become her hunting cage.
"No...... No! Why? Why are you dealing with me? Is there anything I'm sorry for you?! ”
Michiko shouted loudly, her eyes reflecting the virtual girl who was not supposed to exist in this world. Looking at her, she walked over with light steps, and the fluttering skirt seemed to be lifted at any time, revealing the spring light underneath.
At this moment, Hatsune jumped.
She raised the sharp axe in her hand high and slashed directly at the seriously injured woman!
Michiko screamed and ran to the side, dodging the axe at the last moment. She knocked over the bar window behind her, and all sorts of drinks splashed on her like rain. She panicked along the bar and tried to run to the side!
But when she had just escaped from the bar and stood up......
Hatsune Miku.
This virtual idol with blood on his face, body, skirt, and thighs is stuck to his two signature ponytails. But once again, like a ghost, stood in front of her.
"No...... No...... No! Please...... Don't kill me...... Please don't kill me! ”
The heavy axe, from left to right, ran horizontally through Michiko's abdomen, and the entrails flew out of her abdominal cavity and spilled onto those bars.
Michiko collapsed on the ground.
Blood was bubbling from her mouth, and her expression was distorted and painful.
Now she can only look up at this virtual idol in front of her. Trembling all over, she spit out with difficulty: "For...... Miscellaneous...... ......? ”
