Chapter Seventy-One: The Beginning of the Court

Wren soon saw the body of the first deceased, the female team member named Ina, who had no other visible injuries on her body, as the guards said, and the cause of death was a blow to the back of the head.

Wren watched it for a long time, and found that he was really not suitable for this, so he could see that the deceased was in good shape, and there were no other useful clues.

"When we found Miss Ina, she collapsed on the railing of the deck, and at first everyone speculated that it might have been because the ship was rocking and jolting, and Miss Ina did not stand still, and fell and hit her head on the railing, which was an accident," said Haft. However, when Captain Dam is killed, we realize that Miss Ina may not have died in an accident. ”

Wren pondered for a moment, then confidently said to Haft, "I already have a number in mind here, let's go see Captain Dam again." ”

Haft looked at Wren suspiciously, wondering what he was counting, but now that he was under the roof, he could only listen to Wren's arrangement and take him to the next room to check Captain Dam's body.

Damm was a tall, stocky middle-aged man, and Wren had been rummaging over him for a long time, but he couldn't find any wounds. And with his limited knowledge, he couldn't tell how Dam had died from the condition of the corpse.

In the end, Haft couldn't stand it anymore and explained to him: "Captain Dam died in his room, suffocated under a quilt." ”

Wren nodded: "Sure enough, it's the same as I thought." ”

Haft: "........"

"Now that you've seen both corpses, isn't it okay? Can you tell who the murderer is now? “

Wren left from the corpse and took the lead to walk out: "Don't worry, let's prepare for the trial, is there a place to sit?" “

"Then go to the dining room, where everyone can sit down."

The others didn't want to stay in this place for a long time, and when they heard Haft say this, they couldn't wait to rush to the dining room on the upper floor.

The dining room was originally divided by tables for six, but because of the murder, Wald asked everyone to gather during the day, so everyone put the tables together.

It just so happened that now Wren could sit in a circle with the people on the boat and discuss the murderer.

After everyone was seated, Haft looked at Wren, who was sitting in the chief, "Okay, now you can tell us what you plan to do." But I must make it clear that if you had no evidence to frame any of us, I would have defended my companions even if I died. “

Wren shrugged, noncommittal.

"Well, the trial has officially begun. Before I can say who the killer is, I need to ask a few last questions and do a little thing. “

"What's the trifle?"

Wren leaned forward slightly and leaned against the table, making everyone feel a burst of pressure in their hearts: "I hope someone can provide me with a weapon." “

Haft's body tensed, and he subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"You, what do you want a weapon for?"

Seeing that everyone looked scared, Wren waved his hand and comforted: "Don't worry, I won't do anything." I'm going to take my weapons just in case, and when I ask a question, I'll chop off someone's head if I can see who's lying or hiding the truth. “

After Wren finished speaking, everyone was even more frightened.

Wald trembled and said, "Didn't you say you were going to be a judge?" How can a judge do that! “

Wren said indifferently: "It's okay if you don't give it, it's a big deal that I'll get it myself." Oh, let's do it, if anyone is willing to give me a weapon, it means that he is likely to have a clear conscience, which will greatly reduce my suspicion of him~"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

........

As soon as Wren finished speaking, more than a dozen weapons were slapped on the table.

"I have!"

Everyone spoke one after another, and then looked at the people around them with an embarrassed expression.

Wren glanced at the table and saw that there were all kinds of weapons.

Most of Haft's guards were with standard swords, the sailors on the ship had swords, clubs, axes, and everything, and the most strange thing was the people of the expedition, all kitchen knives and forks came, and even Wald, who had just objected, took out a small dinner knife from behind.

It is estimated that there were people on the ship who died in the past two days, and they secretly used it from the kitchen to defend themselves.

Haft silently inserted the half-drawn sword back under the table, and looked at Wald in "disbelief": "Wald, what, how can it even you!" ”

Wald lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "That's it....... For self-defense. ”

Wren finally picked out a guard's long sword and placed it on his right hand, where he could reach it at any time.

"Very good, everyone's attitude is good, I remember the people who just took out their weapons, and your suspicion in my heart has decreased!"

The others silently took their weapons back, and from their expressions, it was impossible to tell whether Wren's words had made them more relaxed or nervous.

Haft was probably angry that he was not as fast as others, and his face was ugly, he looked at Wren and said, "You also have the weapon, you can start now, right?" “

"Well, now I'm going to ask a few questions about the case, and I hope you will answer them truthfully." As he spoke, Wren glanced at the long sword on the table with a vague look.

"Let's start with Miss Ina, and now I'm going to ask, do any of you have a grudge or conflict with Miss Ina?"

When they heard this, they bowed their heads and did not speak.

Wren was not in a hurry, just waited.

Finally, Walder stepped forward, and he said tremblingly: "Ina is a member of our expedition, and in our team, everyone has a very good relationship, just like a family, there are no major conflicts. “

"Didn't lie to me?"

Wald hurriedly shook his head: "Absolutely not." “

The others also shook their heads, indicating that they had no enmity with Ina.

"Yes, I believe you. Second question, which of you has the best relationship with Miss Ina? ”

There was still no one to speak for a long time, and Wren was still waiting slowly.

Haft couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Does that make any sense?" ”

"Of course, according to my years of experience in watching movies, the murderer is generally not the enemy of the deceased, or the deceased's closest person."

Haft exclaimed, "You're talking nonsense! ”

"Then you don't care, you just tell me who is closest to the deceased, and I will judge for myself."

"You!"

Haft stopped talking, and finally Walder replied: "Actually, we are just an ordinary expedition, we are just exploring together, and if you want to say how good the relationship is, it is not so good." ”

“.......”

“.......”

Everyone, including Wren, looked at Wald.

"Mr. Wald, you just said you were like a family?"
