"He" was waiting.

The discovery of the corpse was expected by "him", and the fear and uneasiness displayed by these stupid mortals at the moment was exactly what "he" wanted to see. In fact, these mortals are not just spectators of this performance, they are also the sacrifices of the terrifying and great being who is about to descend into this world!

Be glorious, foolish, lowly mortals, how privileged you are to be qualified and glorious to be the first to face Him and to be one with His soul and flesh.

Thinking of this, "he" showed a cold smile, but the corners of his mouth had just curled, and he saw the girl blocking the gate, holding a holy book in her hand, looking at her curiously, and the frightened "he" hurriedly lowered her head, and at the same time, "he" also mocked the girl's stupidity in her heart.

It's foolish to believe in a god that doesn't exist, and I really want to see how you react when you meet the true God...............

Thinking of this, "he" clenched his fists and smiled inwardly.

The time for the great return is coming! And I'm here to show you the infinite power of that being!!

Just when someone was curled up in a ball and daydreaming at the moment, Duanmu Huai was also leading the others to search the room.

I didn't find any useful clues in places like the infirmary and warehouse, and as for Williams's room, Duanmu Huai also went in to take a look——— since Suzume didn't respond, it was probably nothing.

Next, he came to another room, which was the body finder Fred. Winston's room.

Although he was the first discoverer of the body, that doesn't mean he wasn't suspicious. On the contrary, many times the first discoverer at the scene of the crime is more suspicious. It's not that Duanmu Huai has any investigation experience, it's just that there are too many things like this happening in the game, and these cultists are all like the actor possessed, pretending to be the first discoverer, and some directly pretending to be victims.

If you see it too much, you will have long become accustomed to nature.

However, when Duanmu Huai pushed open the door of Fred's room and saw the scene inside, everyone was also shocked.

I saw that on the floor of the entire room, there were circles and patterns similar to those around the corpse before, and there were candles lit around it, looking gloomy, and something was wrong at first glance!

"Could it be that Mr. Fred is a prisoner?!"

Seeing this, the bodyguards and doctors were also taken aback, of course they also knew who the first discoverer was, but as ordinary people, they must subconsciously think that the first discoverer should not be a criminal, this logic is actually normal, after all, generally speaking, if ordinary people do anything bad, they want to be found as late as possible, where is there not only not to cover up their crimes, but also to take the initiative to expose?

But for now, the evidence is conclusive.........

"Well, Fred doesn't have to be a prisoner."

Duanmu Huai looked quite calm and waved his hand.

"But those weird circles here are obviously the same as those in the smoking room!"

"It's similar, but I don't know if the effect is the same."

Duanmu Huai said as he walked into the room, and then he lowered his head and twitched his nose.

"Does Fred smoke?"

"This ..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, everyone looked at each other, and then the female student of the master's school nodded.

"He smokes! When I came out, I saw him with a pipe in his hand! ”

"Very well, let's continue."

Duanmu Huai silently made a note in the small notebook in his heart, and then turned to leave. Suzume didn't say anything, which means that there are no useful clues in this room............... That's right, Duanmu Huai is too lazy to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find things, and with the expert Ling Nu, he is naturally willing to be a tool man.

After that, Duanmu Huai went to the other rooms again, and the rooms on his side were all gone, except for the room of the corpse discoverer, Fred, who was tired, the other rooms were normal.

Then there are the three cabins opposite, which belong to the deceased Williams and his bodyguard Dort, followed by Arthur. Dort.

Williams and Dot's room Duanmu Huai has been there, and no surprises have been found, but it was Arthur's room that gave Duanmu Huai a surprise——— originally he was just going to go through the motions, but what Duanmu Huai didn't expect was that when he pushed open the door and walked into Arthur's room, he saw that the black cat lying on his shoulder seemed to have found something, and suddenly barked, and then jumped down and rushed directly into the ————— trash can in Arthur's room.

"Hey, hey, don't go anywhere."

Seeing that the black cat pounced on the trash can, Duanmu Huai was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the bell girl out of the trash can, and then he lowered his head and looked at the trash can, and then Duanmu Huai saw a pile of shredded paper in the trash can——— and it was not ordinary shredded paper, it looked ......... Like a photo?

"What is this?"

Duanmu Huai picked up the pieces of paper from the trash can and put them back together...... Well, sure enough, it's a photo.

Here's a photo of a group of people on it.

If only that were it, but here's the problem......... There is something wrong with the person in this photo.

In the middle of this photo is the victim Williams. Fude, and in the crowd, Duanmu Huai also saw another figure.........

"Dr. Rose."

Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at Rose, who was already pale.

"You didn't tell me you knew Williams."

Duanmu Huai said as he clicked on the photo, and at this moment, Dr. Rose's face also changed greatly, and then she gritted her teeth.

"I, I've had a relationship with Williams a few times, but I didn't kill Williams, and I didn't know he was on this airship!"

"So, where did you meet?"

Duanmu Huai stared at Dr. Rose and asked, but he remembered very well that Williams's diary had written that he had joined an elite club of high society in his youth, which was the Silver Twilight Cottage. And who knows if the photo in front of me is a group photo of the people of the Silver Twilight Cottage.

If that's the case, then Dr. Rose is also a member of the Silvertwilight Hut, which means she's also a cultist!

There is also the problem that the photo was found in Arthur's room, and Arthur also smoked!

Not only that, but Dr. Rose is a female doctor, but she also smokes!

If she is a cultist, then the testimony that the prisoner is an adult male can be completely refuted!

"Wait!"

At this time, the bodyguard Dott seemed to have discovered something again, hurriedly walked over, carefully observed the photo, and then stretched out his hand.

"Look here!"

"Huh?"

Duanmu Huai looked in the direction of the bodyguard Dort's finger and looked at the edge of the photo, and then his eyes suddenly widened, only to see that at the edge of the photo, half of the maid was photographed. Although he only has half a body and a head, it can be seen that this should be the maid Ethel on the airship!

Yo, things are getting more and more interesting now.

Looking at the photo in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but touch his chin, originally thought that this was just a simple cultist killing, but now it seems that there are at least three people in this airship who have known the deceased Williams in the past!

At least judging from this picture, Dr. Rose and the maid named Ethel can't escape from it! Also, this photo was found in Arthur's room, even if he is not in it, it means that this photo is related to Arthur!

In other words, in addition to Fred, the arrogant Arthur, the doctor Rose, and the maid Ethel are all suspected!

After all, Williams made it clear in his diary that the reason he fled was that the cultists of the Silvertwilight Cottage wanted to use his blood for some kind of evil ritual. So for now, the murderer is likely to be the person Williams knew in the club of the Silver Twilight Cottage in the first place!

If the people in this photo are all members of the Silvertwilight Hut, then neither the doctor Rose nor the maid Ethel can escape the relationship!

The only problem is that the photo was taken twenty years ago, but the maid Ethel was in her twenties......... Of course, the premise is that she is still human, not some monster.

Everyone panicked at this moment, and Duanmu Huai also stared at Dr. Rose, who gritted his teeth and finally lowered his head.

"Well, I said, it was Arthur who threatened me........."

"Threatening you?"

"Yes, Arthur wanted me to give him some illegal drugs, you know, but of course I didn't, and then Arthur threatened me that if I didn't, he would tell me about my past........."

"Your past?"

“…………… I used to be a doctor, but one time, I treated a girl, but after the treatment, the girl disappeared. Then the incident took me on my back, and I lost my doctor's qualifications and had to leave for other places, and it wasn't until twenty years later that I thought that it had been so long and that it should be fine, so I took this airship and planned to go back and see......... As a result, I didn't expect to meet Arthur..............."

At this, Dr. Rose looked at the photo with a complicated expression.

"As for this photo, it is true that we took it when we were at the club before, and as for why Arthur has this photo, I don't know..............."

“…………………”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned, indeed, it is not news that the nobles take drugs, and this reason is reasonable.

Of course, the premise is that this club is not the Silver Twilight Cottage, otherwise, he must suspect that this is likely to be a well-planned murder, and the murderer is not a single person, but a group of people!

“…………… Let's go. ”

After listening to Dr. Rose's defense, Duanmu Huai just glanced at her lightly, and then withdrew his gaze. By this moment Dott had stood beside Dr. Rose and grabbed her arm. The female student of the master's school kept her distance, and Dr. Rose herself was also ashen.

Originally, it was just a formality of investigation, but I didn't expect that more and more things came out, and with more and more evidence, the truth of the case became more and more confusing. So Duanmu Huai quickly gathered his thoughts and left Arthur's room and went to the last two rooms——— that is, the crew lounge and the crew bedroom. The two rooms are connected to the observation deck and are only accessible to the ship's crew members.

Of course, I can't care about that much now.

Duanmu Huai first came to the crew bedroom, where there were four bunk beds, but it was very simple and simple, not as luxurious as the cabin——— well, it was also normal.

"Meow!"

However, just as Duanmu Huai walked into the crew's bedroom, the black cat seemed to have discovered something again, barked softly, jumped off Duanmu Huai's shoulder, landed on the ground, and then circled around a suitcase next to him, and then raised his head and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"What a kitten."

Seeing this scene, the female students of the master's school couldn't help but sigh, they followed Duanmu Huai all the way, and also found that this black cat was particularly powerful, every time it found the evidence, I don't know how such a kitten was found, does it also have the same sense of smell as a dog, can easily find something?

Duanmu Huai just smiled at this, just kidding, Ling Nu's detection ability is even stronger than a real detective Okay, he walked to the box, only to see that there was a lock on it, of course, for Duanmu Huai, this lock is not a problem at all.

I saw him stretch out his hand, grasp the top with his right hand, grasp the bottom of the lock with his left hand, and then twist it hard!

"Click!"

With a soft sound, the next moment everyone watched as the lock was directly broken by Duanmu Huai from the middle!

"Hiss—————!!"

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but gasp and look at Duanmu Huai in horror.

It's a steel lock, and it's almost the same as wood in Duanmuhuai's hands.

How big is this manpower?

For the panic of the people who eat melons, Duanmu Huai naturally didn't care, he threw away the twisted lock, opened the box, it was basically some personal clothes or something, there was nothing particularly strange, and there was no murder weapon——— well, it would be nice if there was a murder weapon.

"Wait!"

However, just as Duanmu Huai picked up a pocket watch, Dott stepped forward again.

"It's Williams' pocket watch!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, you open the lid of the watch, and there are initials of his name inside!"

Hearing Dot's vow, Duanmu Huai also opened the pocket watch, and sure enough, he found the abbreviation of W.F on the inside of the watch cover.

"Did Williams say he lost his pocket watch?"

"No, the pocket watch was still on the table when I left his room this morning."

"That's interesting...............

Duanmu Huai took out his pocket watch and closed the lid, fortunately, there was a name on the box, so there was no need to trouble him to investigate again.

This is exactly the box of the navigator Bart.

Well, there's one more name in the suspect's notebook.

Duanmu Huai stared at the name on it for a moment, then withdrew his gaze.

"Alright, let's go back to the observation deck, and then, it's time to find the murderer."
