36. Precious hands

The scissors used by the tailor, this is the only "weapon" that Beidou can find, after tiptoeing to lock the hatch, it took Beidou, who did not dare to breathe, to adapt to the dimness in the passage of the cabin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although lamps are no longer so difficult to see in this era, because of "technology", their brightness is far from enough to compare with what "fluorescent lamps". The oil lamps, which glowed like Halloween jack-o-lanterns, were hung in two columns that stretched to the endless end of the cabin.

Honestly, this is no longer the place to calm down by standing.

Taking down a kerosene lamp, Beidou squatted down while looking for suspicious traces on the ground. If I remember correctly, I heard the screams of a man earlier, and I followed it as I passed by, deliberately muffling the sound of moving footsteps. If there really is something that could "see blood", then the ground ......

"Ah...... Here......"

Following the dim light illuminated by the kerosene lamp, Beidou found a footprint in the middle of the cabin floor that was obviously about to be of some color, judging from the size of the footprint, it was most likely an adult, but if there were only so many clues, he couldn't find anything at all.

"Anyway, take a little ...... first"

Taking out his handkerchief, Beidou used it to slightly stain some footprint marks, even in the light of the light it showed a deep black color. Considering the nature of the ship, most of the sailors who seemed to be cleaning every day in the morning would think that the footprints were just traces of a tailor stepping on the dye on their feet, but it was only when an unpleasant fishy smell spread in his nostrils that Beidou realized that the marks could only be bloodstains.

There is only one passage to the cabin, and there is only one exit, so if you continue to follow this footprint, you may be able to ......

[Whew]

The wind coming through from a distance was suddenly blocked by something, and a huge black shadow appeared under the dim kerosene lamp, which suddenly stabbed Beidou's nerves almost instantly.

At this point in time, there can't be anyone just hanging out outside! Could it be that the ......

"Who!"

Subconsciously pulled out the scissors in his pocket, Beidou followed the position of the black shadow and quickly stabbed the scissors out, but in Beidou's opinion, although there was no "god", but it could be regarded as a rapid counterattack, just shot, was clamped by another greater force and couldn't move.

"Wonderful, I didn't even look at it and aimed directly at the neck and so on, although it made me want to applaud. But ......"

In the blurred light and shadow appeared a wrinkled, but old but not handsome face, the scissors almost touched his throat, but was clutched by his scrawny hands.

This old man ...... Beidou is impressed, remember that it should be Jean's old butler Ethel, this time he is ......

"It's better for women not to carry such a dangerous weapon. ”

"Whew...... I'm scared to death, it's you. ”

Seeing that Ethel let go of his hand, Beidou also hurriedly withdrew the scissors, and the appearance of Ethel and Jean at the same time also made him breathe a little relieved.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought it was some kind of strange person. But...... Jean, what are you and the old man doing in the guest's cabin so late?"

"Ethel informed me of any movement in the cabin, so I came over to take a look. ”

Jean's gaze fell to Beidou's feet, "This is ...... on the ground"

"It should be bloodstains, someone walked outside my room before, and then ......" Beidou, who was explaining, was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the master and servant of Jean and Ethel.

Jean was draped in a long trench coat, most likely after being woken up in his sleep and hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed here, while the old butler Ethel was still wearing a spotless tuxedo even at night, and kept the proper etiquette of a butler with his hands behind his back as always.

"You ...... Did you see anyone running out? before they saw me. ”

"We didn't see it, although there was only one exit from the cabin, but there were very few lights outside the cabin because of the open air. Ethel and I both came down from the deck, and if anyone wanted to hide, I'm afraid we wouldn't notice. ”

Speaking of which, Jean seemed to realize something, and after squatting down to find the footprints with traces, he stretched out his finger and dipped it in the ground without care, and then put his finger in his mouth.

"Earl......"

"It's blood, and it's fresh, and it won't take more than five minutes at most. ”

After glancing at Beidou, Jean frowned, "Ethel, you go to the door and keep watch, and make a note of the people who plan to enter the cabin." Mary, do you know anything else?"

"Well, I actually heard the footsteps after someone screamed, and that's why I came out to check. ”

Beidou pointed in the opposite direction of the footprint, "That's right, the words came from there, and ......"

"You go back and rest first, I'll go see ......"

"What do you say, there is no reason to give up halfway. ”

β€œ...... Phew, as a maid, Miss Mary, you're so special. ”

Seeing that Beidou followed up without making trouble, Jean just shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't stop him much. Clad in a trench coat, he took off a kerosene lamp and stretched it out to illuminate the dimly lit road ahead, groping towards the door of the cabin, where a moaning could already be faintly heard.

As he got closer, the man's moans became louder, and the constant wail of "help" couldn't help but make Beidou clench his fists.

"It should ...... This is the door. ”

"Let ......"

"Anyway, let's go in first. ”

The moans seemed to hover over the other side of the door, and Jean took a deep breath and cautiously swirled the handle of the hatch.

【Bang】

A greater force slammed open the door that had just revealed a gap, and a man with a bloody face staggered towards Jean like a rakshasa, but before he could even lean on Rang's body, he had already sat on the ground weakly.

A trail of blood trailed from the ground, and the tailor, who had little strength to scream, still shook his hands. No...... Maybe...... It must be called double fists, because his hands have become a blur, and there is a black and brown sticky thing gushing out, naturally...... It doesn't matter if it's the index finger, the middle finger, or the thumb...... Long gone, the tailor's ten fingers on one hand...... It's all gone!

"How could this ......?"

Taken aback, Jean reacted almost at the same time as he saw the tailor's tragic condition, and after squatting down and hugging the tailor tightly, he hurriedly shouted to Beidou, "Mary, there's no time!

"Cloth!?ah!yes, yes, I'll go!"

Fabric, yes, this is not the time to leisurely take a bandage for first aid, but fortunately this is the tailor's room, and the room full of colorful cloth can be used as a bandage to temporarily bandage the wound.

"Sir, are you alright, sir?"

"My hand...... My hand ......" the tailor roared weakly like a fish out of water, waving his hand from time to time, just ...... The more he moved, the more blurred his hands became.

"Cheer up!

Seeing that the other party couldn't listen, Jean had no choice but to pull out a hand to control the tailor's actions, "I'll give you first aid immediately!"

"Who's there...... Somebody cut off my hand!"

"Sir!"

"My hands!"
