Chapter 55: The Layout Maker Lays the Chess Pieces
Right now.
The USS Colin began to experience bumps and surges.
The harbinger of terror belonging to the deep sea has finally struck silently.
Su Wen also ended this brief conversation.
Next, he made it clear that he had another person to talk to.
That's the girl Nelson was talking about who had spent the day watching the tide on the deck.
For this proposal of Mr. Detective.
Nelson said thoughtfully:
"Detective Kevin, you asked me on deck earlier if there was anyone suspicious.
Is it because you've already discovered that the people of the 'Tide' sect are mixed here? ”
Hearing the doubts of this traveler gentleman,
Su Wen calmly replied:
"It's not all."
He looked out the window at the already gloomy sky with white lightning that was a harbinger of the most dangerous storm in the ocean.
Then he continued:
"The 'Tide' sect chases the storm.
I don't know.
I've been caught in the 'storm' for a long time. ”
The two of them went to the lower cabin of the 'Colin', where the fare was cheapest and the rooms were the smallest.
Luckily, this luxury yacht is in good hygienic condition.
Otherwise, the farther the journey in the ocean, the stronger the smell of mold from the wooden hull will be.
Su Wen knocked lightly on the door.
A second later.
A small girl's voice came from the other side of the ship's door:
"Who?"
"Emergency review, please cooperate with our work."
Su Wen had an elegant attitude, and he didn't mean to be in a hurry at all.
"Based on the boarding passenger information, you must be Miss Phyllis-Eleanor."
Hear this.
The closed hatch was also opened, and a girl with long flaxen hair said with a little fear:
"I'm Phyllis. But I don't really know who killed the people.
At the time of the murder, I stayed on deck and watched the tide of the sea. ”
[Identification: Phyllis Elinor, Coast Patrol of the Samoan Islands, Ordinary People, Origin Knowledge: [Marine Records] Inheritance, Extraordinary Potential: 'Storm Priest']
See the results of the identification.
Su Wen felt that she probably had a deeper secret hidden in her than the Lorenz Riel Ocean System researcher:
"Looking at the direction of the sea current, can you explain the reason for this?"
"It's my personal habit."
Phyllis was a little overwhelmed.
"I'm a coast patrol in Samoa, not a trip there.
My father was an oceanographer and he had his own observatory in the Samoan archipelago.
After his death.
I took over those jobs, but I never understood the meaning of research.
So.
In search of answers.
I developed the habit of observing the currents during the voyage like him. ”
Hear her answer that can be corroborated.
Right now.
At least Su Wen can rule out the possibility that she assisted in the murder.
"But now I also know that a storm is coming."
As Phyllis said this, her beautiful amber pupils stared at the thick black clouds outside the window, and her tone was less nervous than when she was suspicious.
Opposite.
The girl rationally and calmly proposed:
"Mr. Investigator, the most important thing right now should not be the murder case, in my experience, we need to get out of this sea as soon as possible."
"'Leave,' it's too late now."
Then.
He calmly and firmly gave the answer:
"So, facing the storm head-on is the only option we can make!"
The 'Time Travel' game gives a hidden mission with difficulty B to verify that [Escape from the Whole Ship] is an impossible option.
But on top of that.
There are also more implementable strategies.
"Miss Phyllis, if you have any doubts about what I say, witness it with your own eyes."
He closed the door.
Then.
I told Mr. Paul, who was next to me, that I would go to the last place to go for this investigation.
"Take me to the room of the deceased 'Bourne'."
"No problem, the cabin booked by the deceased Byrne is the VIP area [A-4] lounge, which is from the side of the stairs."
Come to your destination.
Su Wen opened the door and walked in.
Then.
He followed Byrne's answer and found the slightly rusted copper coin on page thirteen of the magazine.
[Obtain the Relic of the Deep: Hecate's Lost Emblem]
[Relic Characteristics: (Cursed) Those who possess this relic will be watched by the Panocean Gods. 】
"What did you find?"
"A necessary piece of evidence.
Let's go.
Go to the banquet hall.
The scheduled show is about to begin. ”
Su Wen replied calmly,
Just as the three of them walked down the lavish stairwell.
A waiter pushing a silver food cart happened to pass them by.
Probably because I saw the security captain.
The waiter bowed his head as if he respected the higher-ups.
But Su Wen was about to pass by.
To put it mildly:
"Mr. Paul, it hasn't been long since the accidental death.
I don't know which VIP is in the mood to order a table of time-consuming Western food. ”
Heard the allusion in Su Wen's words.
The waiter's eyes lit up.
But the next second.
Before he could make any moves.
The cold Magnum muzzle in Su Wen's hand was already on the waiter's eyebrows.
He said gracefully and coldly:
"I've got permission from Captain Adrian.
So, you now take one more step.
will die! ”
