45. Whipping jealousy

If he could, Beidou hoped that everything he did today was just meaningless "hard work", but while he still saw Jean and Ethel in the cold night, the last bit of doubt in Beidou's heart was completely solved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The prisoner who broke into the room of the resting tailor and brutally cut off the ten fingers of his hands, cutting off all his dreams as a "tailor", was the "first" to come to the scene to administer first aid to the tailor, and "properly" placed the tailor afterwards, and his old butler Ethel may also play the role of "accomplice" in this evil farce.

I'm afraid that even if all the guests know about it, no one will suspect the owner of the cruise ship. The first thought, called "should", can mislead people's thinking and make people instinctively ignore the possibility that they should have noticed. At this point, if the biggest suspicion was not discovered at "that time", I am afraid that even Beidou would have been deceived by Jean's "promise".

"Jean, good evening. What are you going to do at the door of the restaurant so late?"

Now, there is no point in hiding the body and tracking it, and Beidou wants to know more about "why".

Why do you have such wealth, such a reputation, and such a status, so why do you ...... Do things that are as sinful as villains......

"No, I'm going to make a late-night snack. ”

"Nothing, I told Ethel to make some supper. Jean's body shook suddenly, but the "experience" made him quickly calm down, "One for each guest, Mary, do you need anything?"

"Hmm...... There is indeed something needed. Beidou waved his hand, "For example, ...... 'answer' this kind of supper." ”

“......”

"Why do you do that kind of thing, you already have it. Power, wealth, fame...... You're good enough as a human being. Why ruin the dreams of an ordinary person, I don't understand. If I need a late-night snack, it's the best 'late-night snack'. ”

"Ahem...... Well, Mary, do you have a fever...... How to talk ......"

"Don't pretend! the guy who broke into the tailor's room last night and cut off his ten fingers, you're it!"

Before he could finish covering up, Beidou shouted, "Who do you want to go to today?" Let me guess your methods...... Restaurant, kitchen, are you planning to poison?"

"No...... You...... Why ......"

"Why? Actually, it's nothing, and if I hadn't caught the tailor in the morning, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here now. ”

"So why ......" Jean's expression became a little gloomy, and his clenched fists made Beidou unconsciously take a step back, "Mary...... Why you...... Got it. Did I do it...... Is it too obvious?"

Confessed...... Sure enough, I still admitted it...... But if you want to ask why, it's actually your own side!

"No, it's not obvious at all, it's just a few guesses overlapping, and I can only think of you...... And your old butler. ”

Beidou looked behind the glass window of the restaurant, and then said coldly, "First of all, motivation...... Indeed, there is no reason for the guest to know where the key is, and it is unlikely that he will steal it, and the sailor, although he has the opportunity to get the key, has no such motive. Either way there was still a little bit of 'qualification', and I thought at first that someone had bought off the sailors, but ...... If this prisoner is a combination of a 'guest' and a 'sailor', then he has a motive to commit the crime. ”

Jean also said on the first day that he would participate in the tailor's contest as a contestant, that he was a "guest", and that his status allowed him to open all the guests' rooms with his own key without even stealing the master key from the old captain, and that he was a "sailor" at this point. The person who meets the requirements of having the motive and the conditions to commit the crime, it seems that he is the only one in the whole ship.

"Second, it's the tailor's words, when I found him, he said that he had been fighting with the murderer for a while, and the murderer he saw was a man in a black bodysuit. It's just speculation, but when I checked the footprints, you were with Ethel. Apparel...... A trench coat that is big enough to cover the whole body. ”

"Mary...... These...... It's not enough. ”

"One last point...... It's 'habit' and 'time'. ”

Beidou looked at Jean's eyes, there was no hope in the pupils that were so dim that they had no brilliance, maybe he didn't intend to hide it as early as the moment he made his judgment, but now he was still waiting for the "whipping" again and again.

This guy ...... Why don't you plan to hold on any longer at a time like this......

"When I went to the tailor's door with you last night, you opened the door and went in without even a pause, and today when you were in your studio, you kept emphasizing to me that you already knew about the universal key, so at that time, your actions showed that you already knew that the lock of the door had been opened, and you didn't need to use the key to enter, so ...... I'm afraid you've opened the door once with the Magnum Key some time before. ”

“......”

"Of course, I couldn't have thought of these things because ...... I didn't suspect you at all. Just today in your studio, when you flip the hourglass......"

"Whew...... Is it really an hourglass?" Jean suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, "Time, it's been exposed to you." ”

"Hmm...... The timing is wrong, so that you have the situation that no matter you walk out or into the studio, you will flip the hourglass once, and your hourglass leaks once for half an hour. If you've been in the studio since last night, the hourglass would have leaked out, and then you heard the movement and flipped the hourglass and came out with Ethel to check it out, and it wouldn't have been more than half an hour since you returned to the studio with me. And when I returned to your studio at that time, the hourglass had already leaked out, which only shows ...... You're not in the studio half an hour ago, but somewhere outside, and you can only stream an hourglass for half an hour, and naturally the light will leak......"

After a pause, Beidou took a deep breath and said, "Let...... None of this is clear evidence...... You...... Why not...... Hold on?"

"There is no need, or rather...... The light you radiate makes me not want to lie anymore. ”

After hearing everything, Jean was not as vicious as the so-called prisoner, but was a little relieved, "Marie, I answer you, it is because of 'jealousy', I have what I can get materially, but I don't have 'perfect' talent anyway, I am not like Pierre's guy, I am just a tailor who is not outstanding. So...... Do you think if you can't sublimate your talents, what else can you do to stand out?"

“...... Putting someone else's talent ...... Erase it. ”

"Well, that's it, the tailor from yesterday, he is very 'gifted', and I will keep the 'gift' for the queen under my control anyway. So ......"

So...... In that way, let other people's talents fall and let his own talents become "perfect". I'm afraid this is not the first time that a wrong choice is made by jealousy.

"Let ......"

"But Mary, you're right, and I don't want to lie to you. So ......"

So?

"So, let me struggle for nothing!"
