I hurriedly turned my head to see that it was a middle-aged man with a full beard, and judging by the epaulettes on his shoulders, it was actually the captain. I was embarrassed and said, "Well, I wanted to come down and play, and when I suddenly saw this, I was stunned." The captain looked at me with suspicion before he said in a rough voice, "Don't run around, go back, and don't talk about what you see here." ”

I smiled and nodded, and ran upstairs as fast as I could. Strange, this noble lady died in such a special way, and the captain was not surprised when he came? He seemed to know it from the beginning. Also, judging from the captain's face just now, it seems that this is not the first time he has dealt with this matter, and this captain must know something.

Running to the deck, Lotte and the others had already sat back in place, and when they saw me coming, Lotte asked, "Captain, did you find anything?" I nodded, and described the noblewoman's death below, and then I said, "This captain seems to have taken such an unusual death too seriously." ”

Lotte secretly pointed in a direction with his finger: "Not only the captain, but also the sailors are also calm." ”

Looking along Lotte's hand, the sailor who ran up to inform me just now was mopping the floor like he was thinking about nothing, but his slightly trembling hands made me see the fear in his heart. I nodded and said, "Looks like these sailors know something." ”

I took a glass and patted the sailor on the back, which startled him directly, and when he turned around and saw me, he breathed a sigh of relief, and it was obvious that he had been scared enough to choke on him. I put my arm around his shoulder and said, "Brother, have a drink together?" ”

The sailor was slightly stunned, then waved his hand and said, "No, we can't drink." I looked around to make sure there was no one, and then whispered in his ear, "I know what you know, Ice." When I spit out the ice, I could clearly see that his body straightened slightly, and then he threw down the bucket and mop sharply. Fly is also run.

This deepened my suspicion even more that these sailors had done something that would make them almost collapse just by hearing the word ice. I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, returned to my seat and said, "It seems that I overestimated their capacity. Lotte smiled and said, "Captain, you are really good." I smiled and waved my hand and said, "It's not too early, let's go and rest first." ”

The next day, I was woken up by a sharp scream, and the sound insulation of the cabin was still good, but I was used to sleeping with the windows open, so I was woken up directly. I quickly put on my clothes and rushed out. The victim was a gentleman, and yesterday when I was on deck, I saw him walking with his wife, and I didn't expect to die like this today. Like the previous one, this gentleman's chest still has a flickering blue dot of light. And the gentleman's wife knelt beside the corpse, and the scream just now should have been made by her. I was looking at us blankly and helplessly, shouting, "help." ”

At this time, the captain and others also rushed over, and seeing that there were so many onlookers, his face changed slightly, and he said in a commanding tone: "Everyone go back first, we will deal with it here." With that, he immediately covered the body with a white cloth and sent a sailor with a female surname to carry the woman back to the room.

Instead of going into the room, we took a seat on the deck, and I sighed and said, "This is the second one, what is the secret of the captain?" ”

Lotte shook his head and said: "I heard you say I didn't feel anything yesterday, but today I saw it and found that it was really infiltrating, hey, you said it's strange, it's not strange, we used to play, and the ghosts were staring at us to kill, this time, why did it kill others?" ”

When Lotte said this, I seemed to have noticed this, and said with a frown: "The lady who died below before was on the boat alone?" ”

Cheng Hongsheng shook his head and said, "No, I can never forget it, I remember the woman you described, and she also brought a person who looked like a housekeeper." ”

I slapped the table and said, "Cheng Hongsheng, you and I go to find the housekeeper, and Lotte you go to the woman just now, let them think about what the deceased did before he died, and who he came into contact with." With that, I turned and walked downstairs.

The noblewoman's butler was not difficult to find, and with his superb memory, Cheng Hongsheng quickly found his room. knocked on the door, it was an old man with silver hair, he was wearing a very elegant butler suit, but his eyes were slightly red, he should have just cried once. I explained to him what we were going to do, and he let us into the house.

The housekeeper took out a white handkerchief and wiped his eyes, before he said: "We are on the boat at noon, Miss sat on the deck for a while, then said she was hungry, went to the restaurant to get some food, in fact, Miss couldn't eat too much, she said to keep in shape, Miss ate something, then went to the activity hall below, at this time, someone invited Miss to dance, Miss danced with him, and then Miss said she was tired, so she went back to the room to sleep." It wasn't until I called Miss to dinner in the evening that I found out that Miss was gone. ”

I nodded and said, "So, do you remember the time?" And who was the person who asked the young lady to dance? ”

The housekeeper wiped his tears again and said: "Miss I grew up watching, she is gone, how can I be in the mood to watch the time, but it happened to be dinner time at that time, so it should be half past five to six o'clock, and the person who asked Miss to dance, I later learned that it was the captain of this boat." ”

I nodded, looked at Cheng Hongsheng, Cheng Hongsheng smiled slightly, patted his brain, there is a fully automatic tape recorder in front of me, it is really convenient. We said goodbye to the sad old butler, Cheng Hongsheng watched the old man close the door, and then asked, "Captain, do you have any valuable clues?" ”

I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "Not for the time being, let's wait for Lotte's share." ”

Lotte came a little later than us, because the woman's emotions were very unstable and the description was intermittent, and Lotte managed to organize what she said into words that she could understand.

Lotte handed me his detective shorthand book and said, "Captain, take a look." ”

The woman's descriptions were trivial, but there was only one thing that caught my attention, and that was that her husband had shook hands with the captain on deck the previous night. Captain, captain again. Cheng Hongsheng told Lotte the news I got, and we both fell into deep thought at the same time.

In the end, Lotte raised his head first and said, "Captain, these two cases died because of physical contact with the captain, that is, don't touch the captain." ”

I waved my hand and said, "There are still many doubts, the first is the question of the position of the corpse, why do the ghosts carry the corpse of a person to the seat where they have access to the captain?" For example, the lady was dancing with the captain in the recreation room, and her body was found in the recreation room, and the gentleman, who shook hands with the captain on deck, and the body appeared on the deck, why? Isn't it too much trouble? The second is, does the captain know that he has such an ability? If he knew that anyone who touched him would die, would he have used this method to kill people? If he doesn't know, then he still looks calm? ”
