Fortunately, although the captain did not know much about criminal investigation, he also knew that the scene could not be easily destroyed, he did not touch anything at the scene, but only removed the body from under the chandelier, he said that he felt that such an old gentleman was ruthlessly placed where it was too pitiful, and not respectful enough.

"Mr. Captain, I have to say that the greatest respect for the deceased is to find the murderer, not to comfort a body that cannot speak......"

At the beginning of the 20th century, people's sensitivity to criminal cases was still very thin, and even with the advent of a series of detectives such as Sherlock Holmes, the public's understanding of this aspect was far less than that of later generations.

The captain listened to An Yizhi's explanation and realized that he had done something wrong, no wonder, at the beginning, he always thought that it was his old enemy seeking revenge, and the dead old gentleman was just lying down because he was unlucky, so naturally he didn't think about deliberately murdering so he wanted to protect the scene.

Hopefully, the rough sailors didn't break too much......

With this little expectation, An Yizhi and the captain went to the ship's infirmary.

A ship must be accompanied by a ship doctor, otherwise once there is a headache, brain fever or acute illness, it can only be resisted, and there is no hospital on the sea.

In the infirmary, the doctor had just finished doing gastric lavage on McFlynn, and two sailors were guarding the door, but they didn't see the shadow of the second mate, so they probably returned to the bridge.

"Doctor, where is the body that was sent earlier?"

"In the Back"

The middle-aged doctor opened the curtain, and he said a little sentimentally:

"Poor place, he deserves to live in peace, may God accept his soul"

It's a pity that it is not clear whether God has an finger or not, but he knows that there is a great evil god in this copy world......

Father Locke, mentioned in McFflin's diary, was lying on a hospital bed with a white handkerchief covering his face, indicating that he was dead.

An Yizhi asked the doctor about the results of the autopsy, the details were similar to those of Qingfeng Bazooka, and the doctor also believed that the fatal injury was a crystal fragment inserted into the heart, but he felt that at the old gentleman's age, even if there was no heart damage, it was estimated that it would be more than lucky to be hit on the head by such a large chandelier.

Asked for a pair of plastic gloves, An Yizhi hoped to find more clues on his corpse, but unfortunately turned up and down and found only a small box containing white pills, the doctor identified it and said that it was a strong analgesic, the deceased suffered from severe rheumatism, and his knees had been somewhat deformed due to the pain.

"What is this?"

Inadvertently, An Yizhi saw a red line on the deceased's neck, and when he pulled it out, it turned out to be a necklace with very rough workmanship, and the necklace was an almost gray-white stone, about the size of a broad bean. It looks a bit like a crystal, but it doesn't fill the inside with so many impurities.

The captain and the ship's doctor didn't know much about the gem, they didn't know what it was.

Maybe it was just something more memorable for the deceased, but after looking at it over and over again, An Yizhi didn't think there was anything wrong, so he put it back.

After examining the body, An Yizhi wanted to stop by and ask McFlynn, but the ship's doctor said that McFflin had been poisoned by alcohol, and although he was not life-threatening after a series of emergency treatments, he could not wake up for the time being.

"What was he drinking behind him?"

Ann asked as he pointed to the two sailors who had found McFlyn with the second mate.

"Sherry and some other wines, sir. He was drinking with a bottle when we found him."

It's also strange that drinking low-alcohol alcohol can get you into alcoholism......

Wait a minute!

An Yizhi suddenly thought of something, and he asked again:

"Are there a lot of empty bottles around?"

The two sailors didn't expect Ann to ask this, and they recalled:

"Not a lot, maybe two or three bottles, I guess he drank a lot of wine before he went to the cabin to steal it."

An Yizhi nodded, taking their words to heart, and then said to the captain:

"I want to go to the scene of the first event"

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Coming to the scene again, the banquet hall had been cordoned off by the sailors, after all, there had been dead inside, and each of the passengers dared to enter at this time.

Ann pointed around the wreckage of the shattered chandelier, and before they could explore it closely, they were blasted back into the room by the captain, hoping that this time they would have a bigger catch.

He first found the broken end of the chandelier, and saw that there were obvious cutting marks on the upper ring, which showed that the chandelier had been damaged from the beginning, in order to knock the chandelier down with one shot.

But how did the murderer find the exact location of the chain in the darkness?

At this time, An Yizhi saw a layer of shiny substance on the broken lock, reached out and scraped a small point, and then suddenly opened up.

"Mr. Captain, let's go to the gunman's position, do you remember where he shot you?"

"I remember, please come with me"

Leaving the banquet hall with the captain and taking the outside staircase to the second floor of the banquet hall, the way through a square gap with a metal lid that felt like the entrance to a garbage chute. An Yizhi asked:

"What is this?"

"Oh, that's the laundry aisle, leading to the laundry room at the bottom of the cabin."

In this way, it makes sense how the gunman escaped.

An Yi pointed secretly, and then he and the captain went to the second floor of the banquet hall together, he stood in the gunman's position, compared the shape of a pistol with his hand, and looked at the position where the captain was standing and the place where the chandelier fell.

And so it was.

The situation An Yizhi guessed exactly the same, to see but to confirm, this is to prevent himself from guessing wrong, he once saw a detective work whose name he had forgotten, there is a sentence called 'No matter how perfect the reasoning is, it is better to walk more', this sentence won An Yizhi's heart.

"We're here, let's go down"

On it, An Yizhi saw Tu Hongyu walk into the banquet hall with two sailors, the two reunited, and Tu Hongyu told An Yizhi the information he found:

"I whispered to the first mate, and he said that the second mate had left when the captain was giving a speech in the banquet hall, and just as he was leaving, there was news that someone had been shot. But this doesn't mean anything, the second officer can justify going to the toilet, and there are dozens of people on the ship, even if you don't count the crew and guests."

"As long as it can be proved that he has the opportunity and time to commit the crime, what other information does he have about the second officer?"

"And something about him"

Tu Hongyu took out his notebook and read the contents:

The second officer, Hughes George, was 55 years old, served in the Navy, served as a lookout, and won the kickboxing championship as a young man. His hometown is on the island of Chisa, but he himself doesn't like to talk about his hometown."

"Chisa Island? Isn't that our destination? ”

Perhaps, what is the connection between this side quest and the main quest?

However, the main quest can be put aside for the time being, and it's better to deal with the side quest first.

An Yizhi asked the captain:

"Mr. Captain, where are the two dead and McFlin going?"

Cruise ships are not scheduled ships and will stop at many ports along the way, rather than just between two ports.

"This ...... I don't know, the register has always been kept by the first mate, I can ask him later."

Although he couldn't get a positive answer, An Yizhi had already guessed that the destination of the three people must also be Chisa Island.

At this time, Qingfeng Bazooka also returned, and she explained the information she had obtained in An Yizhi's ear, combined with these, An Yizhi connected all the clues, and now there is only one problem.

Evidence.

They don't have any evidence to point to the killer, everything is based on speculation, which is impossible to sentence from a legal point of view.

How can a murderer confess without evidence?

"Mr. Captain, I have something I would like to ask you for"

An Yizhi told his plan again, and the captain nodded hesitantly, whether there is a problem with the second mate, you will know if you try it.
