"What did you say?!" the captain asked in an incredulous tone with a changed expression. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Are you suspicious of me? How could I be a killer!"

"Of course you can. There was no expression on the egret's face, "Or rather, only you can." ”

"What a joke!" the captain angrily got up, but was immediately pressed back to his seat by the herret's momentum, and his face turned pale.

"Your Excellency Egret, do you have any evidence for this?" The military attaché's face was also extremely ugly, and this behavior of the egret was completely insulting to him.

"What I say is the truth. Well, that's what I was going to say. Seeing Nina frowning at her, the egret said amusedly.

"But seeing everyone's doubts, I'll start from the beginning. ”

"At the time of the dinner, in order to attack Yulina, three conditions need to be met. The first condition is to know that Yulina will perform that night. The simple reason is that the access to and from the ceiling has security devices that require authentication. In other words, if you don't know in advance that Yulina is going to perform, and you know the place and time of the performance, you will definitely not be able to go to the roof to snipe.

Secondly, it is extremely difficult to carry a sniper rifle on an airship. As I explained, the only privileged people who can board the airship without going through security checks are the passengers in the special seats and the airship staff with certain authority.

Third, you can get the high-level sniper rifle of the Dean Empire, which proves that this person must have a certain relationship with the Dean Empire, or in other words, know or be a member of the mastermind behind the scenes. However, as a captain, it is estimated that it is more likely to know. Because of the constant travel of the cities of the various empires, you will definitely come into contact with the powerful people of the Dean Empire. ”

"Yulina, the person who invited you to perform at the dinner party is the captain, right?" asked Egret suddenly.

"What's so strange about that, as the manager of the airship, I have a dinner party to invite Miss Yulina to perform, what's so strange!" the captain interrupted Egret and yelled angrily.

"It's certainly not surprising. But I assume, just hypothetical, that it would be strange if the person who informed Yulina to go to the Marquis of Sanroe as soon as possible was also the captain of the ship. Egret continued.

"What!"

"I don't think the Marquis of Sanro has any urgent need for Yulina to go to the domain, because the confrontation and conflict between the Marquis of Sanro and the Bairot domain are for political purposes, and to make a gesture to show the noble council. He had no intention of going to war at all, so naturally there could be no such thing as letting Yulina go back to propaganda to boost morale. And if war is really prepared, the Marquis of Sanro will not call back Yulina, but send her to lobby other lords to obtain stronger military preparations. A national idol of the Kazan Empire, just going to do something about morale improvement, the great nobles who are proficient in power and scheming will never do such a loss-making business.

If it were me, as long as Yulina ran a few territories, made a gesture of Count Bayrot using the army to oppress the territory of the Marquis of Sanro, and called on everyone to fight against Count Bayrot, I am afraid that the effect will be much better than going back!"

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, but they did admit that this was like what the nobles who knew how to scheming would do, they liked to put themselves on the side of the weak, the righteous, and the victims, and get more support from public opinion and the people.

"From this point, it can be explained why it is said that the urgent invitation of the Marquis of Sanroe is fake. Then he will forge an invitation and hurriedly ask Yulina to return to the Marquis of Sanro, and it can only be someone from the killer's side. "At the same time, just at the moment of emergency, an airship bound for the Kazan Empire arrived in time to carry Yulina to the Kazan Empire, but there was another killer sniper incident. This is suspicious enough for me. ”

"But that doesn't explain how the killer attacked! You saw that the captain was at the banquet at the time of the attack, and the lighter who couldn't be found, how do you explain it?" said the military attaché in a very fast tone, with a look of no belief that the captain would do such a thing.

"That's where the captain is smart. "How the killer managed to snipe and get out of the roof with only the security entrance has always been a problem for me. ”

"It wasn't until I came across the crazy floating lights that I finally understood this. From the very beginning, there were only sniper rifles on the roof, and there were no killers at all!"

"How is that possible!" the military attache was stunned and shouted.

"On the way back to the room, a few of us investigated to no avail, and encountered several guards who were stopping the frenzy of the floating lights. Yulina, you should know that the floating lights, as the main props of the stage, are not controlled by anyone, and there will definitely be disordered flight procedures and random running. ”

"Yes, floating lights need to be manipulated by humans, and the basic control is not very difficult, but if you want a gorgeous stage effect, you need a professional to do this, which is why you need a gaffer. Yulina said slowly.

"According to the guards, when we leave the banquet with our front feet, the lights on our back feet are disordered, so there are two explanations, one is that the gaffer is the killer, and the lights are disordered after escaping. The second is that the person who is controlling the lights is among us, and we leave the banquet square, so the lights are disordered. ”

"You still haven't explained why there are no killers?!" the military attache was a little impatient, always talking about lights, is there anything important.

"Don't worry. I'm just using the condition of manipulating floating lights as a basis for filtering the killer range. The reason why I say that there are no killers is because the person who controls the floating lights can complete the means of shooting with a sniper rifle while standing in the banquet hall. ”

"It's not really difficult, just control the four floating lights, don't turn on the light, and two just hold the barrel and stock of the sniper rifle and adjust the muzzle to face the stage. One floating light resists the butt so that the sniper does not retreat, and the other floating light pulls the trigger of the sniper rifle with a cord. ”

The egret paused and took out the prepared rope from his body. This rope is peculiar, with one side thicker and the other side thinner.

"Pull the trigger with the thin side, because there is a floating light in the rear, so the sniper rifle will be fixed, and when the shot is finished, continue to pull and the rope will be broken, and then all the floating lights will be withdrawn, and there will be no trace. ”

"Again, in order to make such a shot, and hit the desired position, it has to go through many experiments. Only the captain and military attache and other personnel who have been working on the airship for a long time have this condition. ”

"Yulina, how to arrange your performance, I must have had some communication with the captain. The arrangement of the stage is also the final decision of the captain. The egret seems to be asking, but in fact the answer has been determined.

Yulina nodded, and with the words of the egret, she gradually began to doubt the captain.

"What about the gaffer? What about that? And the Fen Lian you smelled?" Op couldn't help but ask, he didn't mean to tear down the stage, he just wanted to know the truth of the matter.

"That's the smartest point. From the very beginning, the gaffer did not board the airship. He is a prepared scapegoat, and as captain, he has the right to deny a person boarding a ship. The more important reason why I invited everyone to dine here was to find out whether it was the military attache or the captain who gave the order to prevent a passenger from boarding. At the same time, it is also to avoid being blocked during the investigation. The reason why I called the captain and the military attache at the same time this time. And the guard just told me that there was only one person who gave the order to prevent passengers from boarding the ship, and that was you, the captain, so it was obvious that you were the attacker, captain!"

"That's the truth of everything, first of all, you met the powerful people of the Dean Empire, maybe some kind of arms dealer. For unknown reasons, you have come to an agreement to cause a war between the two realms of the Marquis of Thornroe and the Count of Bayrot. Then he decided to assassinate Yulina and blame the Earl of Bairot to accomplish his goal. Then you forged an invitation, on the eve of the airship about to arrive in the free city, sent it to Yulina, in the hope of reaching the Kazan Empire as soon as possible, Yulina unexpectedly boarded the airship, and then you prevented the gaffer invited by Yulina from boarding, and concealed this from Yulina, of course, due to the normal operation of the floating lights, Yulina did not suspect why she did not see the gaffer after boarding the ship. You used a method that had been rehearsed for a long time to manipulate the floating lights to make the sniper rifle fire, but unfortunately you didn't anticipate us. The egret finally said.

"You don't have proof!" the captain was still struggling, "It's all your guess, by the way, anyone can control the floating light to shoot, you don't have any proof that it's me!"

"Well, I knew you would say that. "Just like all villains struggle meaninglessly at the last moment, Egret had anticipated such a situation for a long time.

"Isn't there the evidence, it's on you. Egret sneered, "There is a record of the gaffer on the roof on the security device, which is your way of finding a scapegoat for this matter." Ironically, however, this is also your biggest failure. Since the gaffer has never boarded the airship, who will have the identity card that the airship has prepared for him to be able to operate the floating lights on the ceiling? Since you didn't attack Yulina, let's search you, and if you unfortunately find an ID card that shouldn't be on you, a gaffer's ID card, then everything will be self-evident. ”

The guards behind Yulina couldn't wait, they had complete trust in the egret who saved Yulina, and from the moment the egret said that the killer was the captain, they wanted to arrest the captain. In this situation, of course, they have to go up and search their bodies to see if the murderer is the captain.

"Hey. The captain's face was cloudy, and he finally sighed with helplessness and pain. In the end, he didn't escape, and he deserved to be a special noble knight. ”

"Why, Captain, why did you do that?!"

The captain's words were tantamount to admitting what he had done, and even the military attachés around him were taken aback, and asked with an incredulous face.

"Why?" the captain slowly took out an identity card from his body, and he knew that this was the identity card set up by the airship for the gaffer of the dinner party. "I've been working on airships for 20 years, and because of the requirements, I rarely get off the boat, and the only entertainment is to play two in the multi-casino. However, one guy won his entire net worth, and even owed a lot of money. ”

"She didn't ask me to pay it back, she just needed a favor from me. In her room, she gave me a weapon, the same sniper rifle you see. Then I was asked to do these things. The captain covered his face, and it seemed that he didn't want to continue.

"I see. The room of the gaffer who was placed in the second-class seat was where 'she' of the Dean Empire lived. The egret said silently, "Because you were blackmailed, you have a shadow, don't you want to arrange for someone to live in?"

The military attache had already made a move, and he and several guards behind him had brought the captain a magic guide to restrain his movements, and his face was still very ugly. "That's 105 Carter, that's a huge amount of money that I can't pay back in my life. "The captain didn't resist or struggle, after all, he was just an ordinary person, and he didn't have any force.

The corners of the egret's mouth twitched, as if remembering something strange, and glanced at Nina secretly. 105 Carter, what a wonderful number, and it's really fateful.

When the captain finally walked to the gate of the open square, he couldn't help but ask, "Why the hell did you suspect me?" Obviously, these things can be done by the military attaché or even the first mate or others!"

"Well, it's simple. The egret laughed, "Because I have a good nose." ”
