Chapter Seventy-Four: Self-Evidence and Prevarication

Hearing that the first mate had burned the fire on himself, Wald was not calm again.

"Don't talk nonsense, I've known Captain Dam for less than a month, and there hasn't been any conflict in between, so I have no reason to kill him at all!"

"It's hard to say."

Before the first mate returned, one of the guards, perhaps trying to stand up for their captain, spoke up, "You dog men and women are doing that kind of thing on deck, maybe Captain Damm knows something?" The captain also said in front that Captain Dam said that he occasionally heard some sounds of uh-huh, and he may not have thought much about it at first, or he may have known that it was the two of you who were cheating there, but he didn't say it to you. But as soon as Miss Ina dies, Captain Damm will most likely immediately think that you killed Ina. If you know about this, then it's no surprise to kill Captain Damm for it. ”

Having been buttoned with a big hat, Wald stood up suddenly, and if it weren't for the fact that his hands were still tied, he would have pointed at the guard and yelled.

"You...... You're talking nonsense! Haft, you still don't care about your soldiers? Shut him up! ”

When Haft heard this, he also tilted his neck to the side, as if he hadn't seen it.

Walder was so angry that everyone was shaking, "Good, good! Whatever you say, anyway, there is no evidence now, then everyone is suspicious, everyone should not run! ”

As he spoke, he sat back and, like Haft, twisted his neck to the other side.

"Hey~~~"

A sigh caught everyone's attention.

It was Wren who made the noise, because he realized that this time he might not be able to "solve the case automatically" again.

"It seems that the case has reached an impasse, so I'll give my opinion."

Wren said as he stood up from his seat and picked up the long sword on the table.

Since it can't be "fully automatic", it can only be "semi-automatic".

Under the frightened gaze of everyone, Wren walked behind the first mate and slapped his sword on the shoulder with a snap, causing the latter to tremble.

"My opinion is, I can't find it anyway, so let's find someone to cut it at random."

After Wren finished speaking, the first mate's body immediately collapsed.

"No, you can't do that, why me?"

Wren shook the sword in his hand around the neck of the first mate: "Why can't I be like this, do you think I'm a good person?" ”

“.......”

The first mate was speechless for a moment, "But...... But I'm not the only one who is suspicious, why kill me, obviously they could also be the murderers of Captain Dam! ”

Wren pretended to think about it, then put the sword back, "Okay, who made me a judge today, within two minutes, give me a reason not to kill you." ”

"Why don't you kill me?"

"yes, like... What can prove that you must not be the murderer? If you can't say it, I'll treat you as if you are. In the end, Wren once again put the sword on the shoulder of the first mate, and with what he said, the first mate collapsed, and he wanted to shrink under the table to avoid the sword.

Hysteria followed.

"I say I say I can prove it! I can prove that I am not a murderer! “

"It would have been nice to do this sooner."

"I slept with Lado on the night of the captain's accident, and he can prove ........ for me"

"Who is Radow?" Wren couldn't help but look at the only woman present, who was also a member of the expedition, that is, the other party was a little older, and she looked forty or fifty years older than the first mate.

However, the eyes of the others were focused on another man, who was the cook who had previously exposed Wald.

He said embarrassedly: "My lord, I am Rado, the two of us did live together that night, I can prove ......."

"Shhh Wren gasped, it wasn't much better.

The first mate lowered his head and didn't dare to look at anyone, but still explained: "I went to find Rado because Miss Ina died, and they said that there was a murderer on board, and they were too scared...... Not the ...... you think."

Wren put the sword back and patted the first mate on the shoulder: "I understand, I understand." ”

But I was thinking in my heart, who are you bluffing, if that's the case, why don't you speak out earlier to clear your suspicions?

"Anyway, your suspicion is temporarily cleared, then it's the next person's turn." Wren looked around, and the people who were swept by him couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look directly at him, for fear that this armored monster would target him.

Wren walked around the table with his sword in his hand, and when he walked behind him, he shrank in his chair in fright.

Finally Wren stopped behind Wald, who was shaking all over, but the others breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.

"Mr. Wald, it's your turn. To be honest, I'm a little helpless, I originally let you say it yourself, to give you a chance to prove your innocence, but I didn't expect that you all seemed to be busy pushing the suspicion onto others, and I had no choice but to use this method. ”

As long as Wald lowered his head at this time, he could see the long sword around his neck, which made him want to lower his head but didn't dare, so he could only hide his head to the other side: "I'm ...... O innocent ......"

"Evidence~Evidence~"

"I, forget it, I said. That night, I couldn't sleep because I had killed Ina by mistake, and in the wee hours of the morning, I couldn't stay in my room, because I remembered that although I had cleaned most of the traces, Ina still had a token I had given her a long time ago. So I sneaked to the bilge to get the token back, only to find that there was a guard guarding there. ”

"And you last?"

"I bribed the guard to let me in. I was worried that there would be no other traces on Ina's body, so after I got the token back, I checked it inside for a long time, until someone found the captain's body, and the two of us ran over......."

Haft knew exactly who was guarding the body that night, because he had arranged it himself. Hearing Wald say this, he immediately looked at the guard.

The other party lowered his head in shame, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Haft was furious: "You Tuoma, you already knew that Ina was killed by Wald?!! ”

"Captain, this is what Mr. Walder told me that he had killed by mistake, and I thought that since there was no murderer on board, it didn't matter, so I took his money....."

Haft pointed to the guard: "Go back and see how I clean you up!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword had already landed on his neck, and the voice of the armored monster came from behind him.

"You can slowly solve those things by yourself when the time comes, and now it's your turn."

Haft's fists clenched tightly, as if he was struggling with something inside, and finally he said something that surprised the audience:

"Forget it, I said, I killed Dam, and I killed Aikman!"
