Chapter 11: Who is the Murderer?
Tie Jun's words faintly have the meaning of ordering the fat second mate. The fat second mate frowned and looked at Tie Jun.
But Tie Jun not only did not avoid the eyes of the fat second mate, but also emphasized again, asking him to see how the bald head was.
I knew that Tie Jun was not a messy person, and as I savored it, I suddenly understood something. The fat second mate thought silently, and finally smiled.
He nodded slightly and walked towards the bald bed.
We stood there and watched. The fat second mate is not tall, and finally stepped on the lower bunk and stood half-suspended in the air. That way he can be almost face-to-face with a bald head.
I saw that the bald head had not moved, thinking that the fat second mate would shout softly, but who knew that he stared at the bald head, frowned directly, and reached out to the bald head's nose to poke over.
It's not a good sign, and I feel like I've found something, and I feel like I'm doing something.
After a few seconds, the fat second pair's face sank, looked at the stowaways around him, and shouted to everyone, "This kid is dead!" ”
The whole cabin is like a fryer, and many people don't believe the rhetorical question, "What?" ”
The fat second mate was very dissatisfied with everyone's reaction, he pointed to the baby face, told him to go to the deck, and called the captain.
The babyface looked unhappy, and cooperated slowly. We couldn't wait, Tie Jun asked Big Mouth to find the captain, and then Tie Jun and I got to the fat second mate.
The two of us are relatively tall, and as soon as we straighten up and tilt our feet, we can see the scene of the top bunk.
I noticed that the whole face of the bald head was red, especially the cheeks and neck, which were a little red and swollen. In addition, there was a little white foam hanging from the corners of his mouth, and his lips also had the meaning of bruising.
My first reaction was that it was poisoned.
Tie Jun observed more carefully than me, and even stepped on the lower bunk, raised his height, reached out and touched the bald body, and opened his eyes to take a look.
Tie Jun and the fat second mate stepped on the lower bunk together, which made the stowaway in the lower bunk very dissatisfied, he muttered a few words, but no one cared about him.
After Tie Jun's examination, he muttered, "This person was in a trance before he died, the muscle tone of his limbs increased, and some muscle tissues obviously showed signs of forced spasms. ”
When the fat second mate heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "You know so much?" ”
I also think that Tie Jun is too professional and can easily attract the attention of others. But I answered the explanation, which means that we didn't look at us as bandits before, but we are very educated.
In order to behave professionally, I also stepped on the bottom bunk and touched the bald body. It gave me the feeling that his limbs were hard and weak.
The stowaway in the lower bunk was completely unhappy, and fed twice.
Tie Jun didn't want to stand in the air all the time, so he said to me, "Come on, pull the bald head off." ”
Not only me, but also the fat second mate. The three of us big men, working together, easily let the bald head lie flat on the ground.
I suddenly thought of a possibility, this bald head was in charge of burning coal in the boiler room, could it be that he was poisoned by carbon monoxide?
I'll put this idea out there. The fat second mate nodded and said that it was very likely, but Tie Jun shook his head and said that it did look similar at first glance, but it must not be that simple.
He asked me to take off my bald clothes together, and he was in charge of checking the bald upper body, and I checked the lower body.
The direction of our inspection is very general, that is, to see what is abnormal. I checked very carefully, but I have to say that this bald head must have not taken a bath for a long time, and his body is very dirty, especially his lower body, and the smell of urine makes me dizzy.
Finally, Tie Jun noticed it, he lifted his bald left arm, picked off his armpit hair, pointed to a red dot and said, "Look at it, this is the eye of a needle." ”
Not only me and the fat second mate, but also some stowaways came around. The stowaways were still talking about it.
When I observed the eye of the needle, the soft tissues near it were even more red and swollen, indicating that the needle was very toxic.
Tie Jun synthesized it and came to the conclusion that the bald head died from the virus injection.
The word virus sensitively stimulated everyone's brains, and most of the smugglers around them retreated with a face on their faces.
Tie Jun comforted me and the fat second mate, saying that since this virus was injected, and judging from a series of signs of the bald corpse, this virus should only be a blood infection, and it would be okay for others.
I believe in the Iron Army, and I put my mind at ease.
The fat second mate didn't say anything more. Not long after, there was a noise at the staircase, and the one-eyed captain appeared with a few sailors.
The one-eyed captain only knew that the bald head was dead, but he didn't know that he was killed, and he also talked to the big mouth that led the way, saying that it was really fucking unlucky, what kind of physique did this bald head have, and he could sleep through it after a sleep.
And when he heard the real cause of the bald head's death, his eyes widened in surprise like a big mouth.
The big mouth was definitely out of curiosity, but the one-eyed captain was different, and after he came to his senses, he roared like a beast, and said to everyone in the cabin, "Damn, Lao Tzu took the bald guy's money and promised to send him to the place safely, who did this, let me lose my trust!" ”
The one-eyed captain was getting angrier and angrier, pointing at a few stowaways at random, and yelling, "Is it the one you killed?" ”
The smugglers shook their heads, and some of them explained, "Sir, the bald head went out in the middle of the night, and when he came back, he staggered, and we teased him that he had secretly gone out to play with his hands, and he had too much fun, which led to malnutrition." ”
I think it's imperative that the one-eyed captain shouldn't guess, but interrogate the stowaways one by one to see if he can find any clues.
I didn't want to report this directly to Captain One-Eyed, so I told the fat second mate about this idea.
The fat second mate nodded after listening, and leaned over to the one-eyed captain again and whispered a few words. The one-eyed captain nodded repeatedly, and finally waved his hand, and asked the sailors to take all the stowaways away.
Of course, we weren't interrogated, because we had just come back from laundry, and we weren't suspicious at all.
But the one-eyed captain didn't let us sit idle, he pointed at us and said, "Go, sail for Lao Tzu, the wind outside hasn't stopped." ”
We were still wet, and our physical strength was a little exhausted.
Considering this level, the fat second mate was really nice to us, and sent someone to bring three sets of clean clothes, plus food, to keep us warm and replenish our strength.
The one-eyed captain left with his men and the stowaways. In this way, the whole cabin is left with the two of us.
Big Mouth asked Tie Jun, "Could it be the one who killed with a baby face?" Tie Jun and I shook our heads and rejected him.
Tie Jun had a guess that it was likely that the bald head threw a wooden barrel filled with blood into the sea, and it was also likely that someone killed the bald head in order to seal his mouth.
But it's all speculation, and we can't say for sure.
After we got on deck, we sailed and secretly went to inquire about the news.
But more than a day passed, and there was no progress at all in the bald death. The smugglers all had alibi evidence.
Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I don't care about the bald head's death, the problem is, if this murderer is not found, I am always worried that he will commit murder, and who even knows if his next target will be me.
My heart is always like pressing a stone, and during this time, we secretly investigate the loach.
We looked at the big toes of more than half of the stowaways, but we couldn't find the scab. In fact, I also understand that the other half of the smugglers have not been investigated, but I just have a bottomless feeling, and I say that the loaches will not be on this boat, right? Or we just got on the boat and saw the corpse that had been stripped and abandoned into the sea, what if it was a loach?
So it was lunch time again, and the ship's alarm bell rang. I wondered, I just said to have a meal, what bell to ring for no reason? Even if the murderer is caught, he can't make such a big show, right?
We were confused and came to the restaurant together.
Not only were we, the stowaways, the one-eyed captain and his men also in the restaurant, but the meal was very good today, with a meat dish.
The one-eyed captain was standing in front of the large bowl of vegetables, sparing the meat with a spoon.
He looked at everyone who came and shouted, "Improve the food today, but this meal is not unconditionally eaten, there is something next, everyone must do a good job for me." ”
I had long expected that this meal was not something that could be eaten casually. None of us spoke, listening quietly to Captain One-Eye's words.
He continued to spoon the meat at a glance as he said, "According to the time, there will be guests visiting us this afternoon, and you should do your best in the meantime, and do not make any discordant moves, otherwise this will be the end." ”
He held up the spoon. That means whoever wants to cause trouble, he boils and stews him.
I wasn't intimidated by the one-eyed captain, but thought, this White Shark is at sea, this sea is vast, where are the guests from?
Captain One-Eyed didn't explain much, he observed everyone's expressions, and finally nodded with satisfaction, beckoned his subordinates again, took out the dinner plate, and let everyone eat!
So many people were eating in the restaurant, especially these crew members, which made the location a little tight.
We were clever enough to occupy a table for four in a corner in advance. By the time most of the people had eaten, the fat second mate had just finished eating.
He frowned and picked up his plate, looking for a place. There is still a vacant seat at this table between the two of us, and I didn't want to find the fat second mate to come over.
But Tie Jun waved his hand at the fat second mate. The fat second mate smiled and came over without refusing.
After these few contacts, my impression of the fat second mate is not bad. And during the meal, we can't say nothing, let alone put aside the fat second pair, just talk about us.
I found a topic and asked the fat second mate, "Sir, what kind of guest is here this afternoon?" ”
Tie Jun quietly stabbed me after hearing this, this is for the fat second mate, which means that I don't want to ask so randomly, but in fact, Tie Jun also wants to know the answer, he stared at the fat second mate and waited for an answer.
The fat second mate didn't blame me for asking too much, but after thinking about it, he replied, "It's all the high seas here, and it's just this kind of place, there are frequent pirates, and this afternoon, we have to pay the 'guests'." ”
I said in my heart what age is this, it's not a movie, how can there be so many pirates? Or does the fat second mate have another meaning?
