Different from the lively clothing showroom, no matter when you walk into the studio, you can only feel quiet, and the retro indoor environment that is specially decorated can also reflect the elegance and calmness that has appeared after experiencing wind and frost.

"It's the second time, but it's still welcome to my studio. ”

Looking very happy, Jean entered the studio at the same time, and easily flipped the funnel on the table that was about to leak out of the gravel.

"Would you like something to drink? I have some treasure here called rice wine that I bought from a foreign merchant. It's a little sweeter than ordinary wine, and even if you drink too much, you won't get drunk. ”

"No, I'm not resistant to alcohol. ”

Beidou, who took off his coat, hung his trench coat on the hanger, "You seem to be ...... Every time I come back, I turn the hourglass over, is it a habit?"

"Sort of, and not just when you come back, but even when you go out, you flip it once. "I relied on the piano to pick up the exquisite workmanship, but I could also see the old hourglass, "When I was a child, I had to restrain myself because of lessons and other learning, so Ethel gave me this." He told me that even if I couldn't stay up and wanted to go out for a while, I had to come back and turn the hourglass over again in half an hour. Although it was no longer necessary to do so, it ...... It's hard to get used to this kind of thing. ”

Half-hour......

"That...... If you like it, it's okay to give it to you. Seeing Beidou staring at the hourglass, Jean hurriedly said, "Although the workmanship is good, it is not a particularly precious thing, it is more of a commemoration." ”

"No, no, no, it's rude to take away your habits. ”

After a pause, Beidou put the hourglass handed over to him back on the piano, "Come here, there is actually something else." Na...... Jean, that tailor from yesterday, will you settle him?"

"At least he has a reasonable request, and I will meet it. At the mention of the tailor, Jean's eyes also sank, "After all, it is an unfortunate accident on my ship, and I will not abandon this responsibility." He must have been sent away by Ethel in the morning. ”

"Jean, don't you think it's strange?"

At the moment when Jean's fingers were about to touch the keys, Beidou opened his mouth, "Generally speaking, locking the door when resting outside is a necessary thing, the victim is a tailor, such a profession that must require 'carefulness', I don't think he will be negligent in his safety." So...... Prisoner...... Isn't it ......?"

"The all-purpose key?"

"Yes, it's the universal key. ”

Beidou said and took a step closer to Jean, "I can't think of anything else other than this kind of thing." ”

“...... Whew, actually...... It's not something that can be said, it should be...... It's classified. ”

After staring at Beidou with a complicated expression for a long time, Jean sighed very heavily, "Mary, please promise that I won't tell anyone a word about what I say next, not even your Miss Xia Li." Otherwise, it will cause more panic, is that okay?"

"Hmm...... I promise. ”

"Actually...... You are talking about a universal key, and if used properly, it can open all the doors except for a certain room. There are two such keys, one in my hand. ”

Jean said as he opened the wooden box next to the piano with a small key, and in the middle of it...... Indeed, there is a gilded key.

"There's another one in the ship's hand, but as you can see, mine is still there, and the captain's one...... He found out at dinner yesterday...... It's gone. ”

"Gone!?"

"Hmm...... When he found me, although I didn't think the captain was careless, at first we thought it was just that he had accidentally forgotten somewhere because he was busy with business. But until last night...... Until that happened, the captain still hadn't found the key...... So ......"

"Was it taken away by the prisoner?"

"It's more appropriate to say it's stealing. ”

Jean's gaze was grim, "Because the captain's master key he carried with him almost all the time, and he was in the cockpit at the clothes show last night, so ...... The only time outsiders can reach the captain and steal his keys is at dinner. ”

"Now, if that's the case, don't you think this guy ...... Do you know too much?"

"That's why I wondered at first that one of the sailors had done it, but ...... They don't have a reason to do so, and ...... I don't think there's such a vicious guy among them. ”

There are two possibilities for prisoners, guests or ship crew, that is, sailors, but no matter what kind of people they are, they are still a little bit short of being "qualified" as prisoners.

There is no reason for the guests to know the "authenticity" of the existence of the Magnum, even if they "gamble", but on the first day, the purpose is obvious, and the means are skillful to steal the captain's key, this kind of thing is really a bit too nonsense, after all...... The captain didn't look like a big man, even if he had a beard.

If the prisoners were sailors, it is possible that they would have known about the existence of the key and where it was placed, and their identity would have allowed them to "get up close" with the captain without suspicion. But...... These have nothing to do with tailoring or design, and if it weren't for this cruise, the sailors who probably would never have crossed paths have no motive to arbitrarily cut off the tailor's fingers.

Either one is wrong...... So......

"Perhaps...... Has any of the guests bought off the sailors?"

After thinking about it, Beidou could only come to such a conclusion, and the thoughtful Jean did not answer, but patted Beidou on the shoulder as if comforting, "You don't need to worry about these, I have already thought of the possibilities and are investigating." And in consideration of the theft of the keys, I also sent more than two sailors to guard the cabin at night. Even if the worst is possible, I don't think all of my sailors will be bought. ”

"No, so ......"

"Don't worry, Mary, I'll be sure to find out the prisoner before I return from this voyage. Jean said as he sat back down in front of the piano, "You don't need to bother with these shady things, everything...... Just leave it to me. ”
