Chapter 347: Cruise Ship Murder (2)
The captain heard that Ann was calling himself a private detective and showed great enthusiasm.
Specifically, to blow them out......
The captain is the biggest on the ship, and it is not easy for anyone to come, he insisted that it was an accident, and the captain did not keep silent about An Yizhi's question of asking if anyone had an enmity with him, and finally drove the three of them back to the cabin in anger.
The captain seemed to know something, but he didn't want to say.
This was the conclusion that An Yizhi had reached, and now the three of them stayed in An Yizhi's cabin, listening to the noise made by the sailors running around outside in search of the gunners, while discussing the clues they had obtained so far.
It can't be helped, they can't go out and hang out now, the captain has sent two sailors to stand guard in front of their cabin, and even dinner is delivered directly to the room, although it doesn't matter if the player eats or not.
"The gunman is a man, 190~180 cm tall, wearing a big black trench coat and covering his face with a scarf, is that so?"
Breeze Bazooka nodded, this was the image of the gunman she saw.
"Nothing special? Like scars and stuff."
"Nope"
An pointed and scratched his head, it was even more difficult to find the gunman based on this physical trait, not to mention a few hundred passengers on this ship, even if half of them were male, excluding the pot-bellied guys, there were dozens of suspects, not to mention a large number of sailors.
As for firearms......
Don't know much about the security check in this era, or do you have no security check in this era?
Anyway, guns are easy to bring on the ship, and each of the three players has a gun in their hands, not to mention that there is a rifle that fires full-power rounds and a full bag of detonators in the violin box next to Qingfeng Bazooka, and it is far easier for the gunner to bring a gun on the ship than in later generations.
"Who is the identity of the deceased? You should be able to find something along this line, right? ”
"No problem, look at the two door gods outside the door, they don't let us out at all, how can I have time to investigate"
Speaking of this, I was really speechless. If you don't let you ask questions, forget it, you send two people to guard the door and don't let us go out, but Lao Tzu is in first class!
The three of them were at a loss, even if Sherlock Holmes came in person, if he didn't let him investigate, it would be impossible to do so, so he could only catch the blind on the spot.
"You still have a pocket watch? Why didn't I? ”
An Yizhi boredly took out the pocket watch from the scene, and Tu Hongyu said strangely.
"The deceased, I felt it might be useful, so I took it"
"Hey, won't you destroy your fingerprints if you reach out and touch it with such a big prick? I remember that the use of fingerprints for criminal investigation work had already begun in this era"
"Pull it down, even if there are really fingerprints, can you get evidence? We don't have any tools, and I guess the system won't give clues that require fingerprints to be determined."
"That's right"
If fingerprints were useful, the system would provide a set of tools to take fingerprints, and now there is nothing but their brains.
"It seems to stop, you turn the clockwork"
Mechanical watches are very troublesome in this regard and need to be wound frequently, but there are also people who like this kind of mechanical watches.
An reached out and turned the clockwork a few times before the second hand moved again.
"The feeling just now ......"
"What's wrong?"
"When I just forwarded the note, it felt a bit like the feel of turning the password of the safe"
"It's just clockwork, it's all like that, isn't it?"
"Lend me a look"
Handed to Breeze Bazooka, who put the pocket watch on his ear and turned the clockwork for a while and listened:
"It's really not right.,There's a lightweight mechanical cipher structure in this.,Usually the forwarding strip is simply to power the pocket watch.,And according to the specific transfer method, it seems that there is something else to open.,You look closely.,There's a small mark here."
She pointed to the knob and said that there was indeed a very inconspicuous little red sign on it.
As for what the password is, it's at a loss, there is no hint of the password on the pocket watch, the only clue is R&R with two letters, Ann Yizhi tried to put the letters into the dial, and twisted the clockwork twice in the position, but still couldn't open any mechanism.
"If you can open it, there will be ghosts, I want to see how you put 26 letters into 12 scales, and you still can't tell whether there are 24 or 26 English letters?"
An Yi pointed out: "...... It's hard to dismantle"
As a friend who grew up together, Tu Hongyu obviously knows An Yizhi's biggest weakness, and his English is so bad that he can't do it again......
He shook it vigorously a few times, but he didn't hear any movement in the pocket watch, and he couldn't open it for the time being, so he had to put the matter of the pocket watch aside for the time being.
"There are still 3 hours left until the side quest fails, and I don't think we should be locked in our rooms all the time"
Pulling out the menu time and looking at it, Ann Yi pointed.
"Who knows, why is the side quest activated?"
Breeze Bazooka asked.
"Maybe what happens on the ship has nothing to do with the main line, or whether you can do it or not, but I always feel that if this branch can be completed, it will be of great help to the main line."
Tu Hongyu also agrees with An Yizhi's opinion, he is also an old fritter in the internal test, in contrast, although Qingfeng Bazooka is also an internal test player, he has not yet completely figured out how the dungeon mechanism is.
"So what are we doing now, waiting?"
"Probably not"
An Yi touched his chin and said:
"I think it's time to ...... soon"
He didn't say anything when he heard a dull thud that sounded like someone was smashing a wall with his fist.
The sound came from the cabin on the left, but it seemed to be far away and could not be heard clearly.
Qingfeng Bazooka's face immediately became solemn, and she said:
"That's gunshots"
Hearing her say this, An Yizhi had to believe that this girl's familiarity with firearms and weapons could throw herself a few streets.
"Got the gunman?"
"Probably not, if you're a gunman, won't you resist if you're caught? And in the case of resistance, it is impossible to shoot only one shot"
The crowd waited with bated breath for a while, but no more gunshots could be heard, only the sound of many people running around in the corridor outside the door.
"What's going on?"
Staying in the room and guessing is definitely not as quick as asking people directly, An Yi opened the door and asked the two sailors standing guard at the door.
"I'm not very clear sir, it seems that someone has shot"
After saying that, Ann rolled his eyes and was about to close the door when he saw the captain walking towards this side with a few sailors.
"Mr. Ann Yizhi"
He took off his hat, revealing the top of his half-bald head, and said with some restraint:
"Something...... need your help"
–‐‐——–‐‐——
"So, who was the first discoverer?"
The three players and the captain arrive in the cabin at the end of the hallway, where a man lies on the bed in the room, shot in the head, bullets coming through his temple, and the murder weapon in his hand, which looks like suicide.
The deceased Ann had also seen him, and he was one of the three people sitting at the table next to them, the emaciated addict.
The first voyage of this ship had two lives, or the guest's, which will greatly affect the operating income of the ship, after all, no one wants to take a ship that often kills, in case it is repeatedly exposed by some reporters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic 'cursed ship' and other sensational titles, the shipping company behind the blue-eyed princess should vomit blood, and naturally the captain of this ship will not have a good time.
No wonder the captain hurriedly ran to find An Yizhi, he hoped that An Yizhi could find out the truth, at least catch the murderer to save a lot of lost impression points.
"It's me, Mr. Ann Yizhi"
The captain said:
"I found out that the companion of the old gentleman who had unfortunately died before lived in this cabin, and as the captain of the ship I was obliged to inform his companion of his death, and I wanted to visit them with some gifts with the first and second mates, and as soon as I got to the door, I heard a gunshot inside, so we broke down the door, and the rest is as you can see."
Ann pointed to the door, the lock had been completely broken, and it was clear that the captain was right, the door was indeed closed when they came.
If that's all there is to it, then there is no need to look for Ann, everyone will think that it was an unfortunate suicide, but the room is very cluttered, and there are obvious signs of a fight, so there is no way to connect this incident with suicide.
"No one has entered the room before we came, except for you, Mr. Captain."
"Nope"
The captain looked at the sailor behind him, who shook his head.
"When I found the body, I immediately arranged for two people to watch the scene, and they didn't see anyone coming in or out"
"Murder in a Closed Room...... It's finally a bit interesting."
He muttered, looking at Qingfeng Bazooka and Tu Hongyu who were examining the corpses, and the former said:
"The murder weapon is indeed the pistol in the hands of the deceased, and the bullet hole is the same as the caliber of the pistol, as for whether it is really the bullet fired by this gun, it is necessary to remove the bullet and further check."
Further examination is impossible, they don't have any tools at hand, and besides, no one knows how to get a warhead out of their heads, it's disgusting to force it.
"The only thing that can be determined now is that he did not commit suicide"
Tu Hongyu says:
"Look at his wounds, there are no burns on his temples, it means that the muzzle of the gun is far away from his head, a person who commits suicide would not do this, there must be burns in his wounds"
Not only this clue, but just looking at the traces of the fights around him, you can see that there must have been another person who had an argument with him at that time.
"Can you check for traces of drugs?"
"Do you really think I'm a doctor......
"Tsk, useless Watson"
Tu Hongyu: "......"
"Drug marks, I found a lot of pinholes in his arm"
Qingfeng Bazooka did not look like a girl at all, and she took the dead man's arm with a big prick to show everyone:
"I counted a little, and there were as many as seven or eight pinholes, and that's not counting the old pinholes that had already grown. The other hand is a little less than the left, but there are also a lot of them"
"Is that his suitcase? Anyway, don't just stand and turn around, go over and flip through it."
An Yizhi shrugged, he just wanted to be lazy, and sure enough, he was discovered by Tu Hongyu.
This is a slightly larger carry-on suitcase than a briefcase, and the trunk is unlocked and can be easily opened.
"This product is really an addict"
Flipping through the change of clothes, there was a set of syringes and a few bottles of translucent liquid under the suitcase, which was probably not a good thing. He opened it and sniffed it, noticing that the liquid had a strong, honey-sweet taste.
This thing, it's morphine.
