Chapter 349: Cruise Ship Murder (4)

A glass of water was poured over his head and face, and the drunken McFlyn just looked up in confusion, didn't even open his eyes, and didn't know what to whisper in his mouth.

How much alcohol did this guy drink!

Ann pointed to see that the cold water couldn't wake him up, reached out and slapped him, and there were three slaps on the face, this time McFlin finally reacted, and he opened his heavy eyelids:

"Who are you?"

Before Ann could reply, he said:

"Where am I? Who's beating me? ”

After saying the gamer's three ultimate propositions, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

An Yi fingered: "......"

Knowing that this thing is estimated to not wake up in a short time, drinking like this can be regarded as alcohol poisoning, don't ask An Yizhi how he knows, he accompanies Lin Linglin's father to drink until he is happy, and in the end it is also this virtue......

"There's a doctor on board, right? Send him over to wash his stomach, remember to send a few more people to watch him out, he is an important suspect"

The second mate looked at the captain, and when he saw the head of his boss nodding, he obeyed An Yizhi's arrangement and escorted McFlin out.

Then at this opportunity, An Yizhi quietly observed the second mate.

He was about 50 years old, about the same as the captain, but the captain could clearly see his old age, and the second mate was obviously a regular exerciser, with a strong physique and strong muscles under his clothes, and he probably practiced some fighting skills. And he was almost 185 centimeters tall, which was close to the height of the gunman seen by Qingfeng Bazooka.

didn't dare to look at it more, he was afraid that the second mate would notice, but just so quietly observing it was also noticed by the second mate, An Yizhi had an idea, and quickly pretended to be about to stop him and said:

"Wait"

The second pair of puzzled eyes came over, and Ann ignored him, walked over to McFlyn on his own, and reached out and pulled out a key with the house number from his pocket.

"I'd like to go to his room and investigate, maybe there's some clues and evidence."

His argument was reasonable, except for Ann Yizhi who told him about the untrustworthy captain of the second mate, no one else suspected the second mate, so they always thought that McFellrain, who was caught, was the most important suspect.

"Although the matter is subject to authority, you are not a police officer after all, you do not have the right to search, and you need to be accompanied by sailors when searching, please forgive me"

The captain said that he still didn't quite believe Ann's suspicion of the second mate.

"He's not a cop, but I'm am"

Breeze Bazooka walked over, and she lifted her coat to reveal the police gun in the holster, mainly to show everyone the police badge on the handle of the police gun.

This girl also knows how to improvise, of course, a suspended policeman does not have a police officer ID card, and the only thing that can prove her identity as a police officer is those two police guns.

- It's strange enough to say that he was suspended and didn't take the gun back.

The captain nodded with relief, but he did not give up his plan to follow the whole process of the search, he wanted to see with his own eyes whether there was anything wrong with the second officer.

An Yizhi saw that Tu Hongyu was winking at him, and turned his head to the captain and the others:

"Can we talk about it alone? We have some merits to discuss."

"Of course, I'm right outside the door, please call me if you have something"

The captain put on his hat and said, then led the sailors out of the room.

"Look here, is there a thin translucent line on the trigger?"

Tu Hongyu came over with the gun that the deceased was holding when he 'committed suicide', and there was indeed a translucent thread stuck in the gap of the trigger.

"Like a fishing line"

"Yes, I thought so too, but I haven't figured out what the murderer used."

"I think I know about this, and I also have some eyebrows about the choice of the murderer, but I don't have any evidence at hand."

An Yizhi explained to his companions what he had said to the captain before that the second mate had a problem.

"This person did it very carefully, and he didn't kill directly on both occasions, but chose to be indirect, so it was difficult to catch him directly"

Tu Hongyu said with a headache, even if the second mate is really the murderer, they have no evidence at all, and if they can't find conclusive evidence, they can't be regarded as completing the side mission.

"There is no smoke reaction test in this era, otherwise you can find out who is the gunman by doing it once"

The smoke reaction refers to the shooting residue test, because after the gunpowder gas is fired in an umbrella shape onto the gunman's clothing and skin, it is easy to determine whether a person has fired a gun or not.

The smoke reaction was a much later means of criminal investigation, and there was certainly no such thing in the 1920s. However, Qingfeng Bazooka's words inspired An Yizhi.

If there is no evidence, then what about a fraud?

"Direct evidence is not easy to find, we can first find some indirect evidence, first determine the possibility that the second mate is the murderer, and then say, there are a few things that need to be investigated, and we will act separately"

An whispered to the two of them, nodded after listening, and the three of them went out together.

"Mr. An Yizhi, have you discussed the result?"

The captain was waiting at the door.

"Not at the moment, McFlin is the most suspicious at the moment, but we need more evidence. My companion and I intend to split up, and I hope that you, Mr. Captain, will give us some easy access to some cabins that are impassable to some passengers."

The captain thought about it for a moment and said:

"Yes, but there must be sailors"

"No problem"

Even if the captain doesn't say anything, An Yizhi plans to let him send a few people to follow Tu Hongyu and Qingfeng Bazooka, in case he finds any clues that cause the murderer to jump over the wall in a hurry, it will be called a tragedy.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The two companions each followed Ahn Yizhi's instructions to inquire and search, and An Yizhi himself went to McFlynn's room with the captain.

In both cases, the rooms of the deceased were located in close proximity to McFlin, and it was not a two-step walk away.

Under normal circumstances, even if there is a murder, the captain should not follow him everywhere, after all, such a large ship has a lot of things to deal with for him.

This is, of course, an Ann's request, that if the captain of a ship is unable to perform his duties, the first mate and the second officer will do the captain's job, so as to avoid the second officer having the opportunity to destroy evidence or interfere with the search.

McFflin's room was furnished exactly like the other first-class cabins, and there was really nothing to be searched. Ann glanced around twice and then focused on the suitcase in the corner of the room.

His suitcase was much larger than the suitcase of the deceased before, and under the watchful eye of the captain, An Yizhi opened the suitcase and took out a change of clothes and other miscellaneous items, and could see that his suitcase contained several bottles of wine.

"Rum of 1875, he tastes good"

The captain is also a good drinker, just as there is no bad drinker in the sea.

Ann picked up the bottles of wine and shone them into the light, but found nothing of interest in them, so he put them aside and reached for a book at the bottom of the box.

It looked like it was McFflin's diary, and it had his signature on it, though it was crooked.

'My dear Ma Wen told me that she didn't like factory workers and liked well-mannered clerks, so I decided to learn a little more about this and that journaling should be a good place to start'

The same crooked handwriting shows that McFlin is not a person who writes often. This is the first entry in the diary, and An Yizhi did not guess wrong, he is not a rich man, but a worker, but it is not clear why he can afford the first-class ticket.

It is not uncommon to change oneself in order to make a girl, and even An Yizhi did something similar back then. At that time, he was still in junior high school and had a good impression of a girl in the front seat, and it happened that the teacher asked everyone to write an exchange diary, so An Yizhi burst out of inspiration, and he wrote tens of thousands of words freely that he couldn't usually write, so as to secretly express his thoughts, and then ......

And then there was no then, this matter was known to Lin Linglin, the diary was miserably divided, An was beaten without knowing anything, and the love that had not yet budged was also transferred to Lin Linglin through this beating, maybe he was beaten and awakened something terrible......

Continue to look down, most of the words written in the diary are meaningless, basically a series of philosophical questions such as what to eat in the morning, what to eat in the evening, and what to eat tomorrow, occasionally interspersed with Ma Wen's attitude towards him to change this very unproductive handwriting.

It wasn't until he was about to turn to the end that An Yizhi saw some dry goods.

'Hell, it's this period again, how did time pass so quickly, it's been another 10 years, I don't know if I can return to my beloved Ma Wen alive'

It's this time again? What period?

With this curiosity, An pointed and looked down:

'Oh my God, it was Daddy Locke who came to pick me up, he was so strong the last time I saw him, and now he needs crutches to barely walk. However, this trip back to the hometown is worth looking forward to, and Dad said that he got a few tickets for the maiden voyage of the Blue-Eyed Princess, and I don't know how much good wine there is on them.

Daddy Locke?

An Yizhi remembered the old gentleman who was stoned to death in the first incident, and Father Locke should be referring to him.

'It's going to be on the boat tomorrow, and Daddy has taken me to meet with the rest of the people who have returned home, is that Marcas?' God, what did he go through? I almost didn't recognize him, he's so thin now, I think maybe the drugs ruined him'

This time the article mentions the second victim, Ann flips down with a finger, and there is the second half of the diary:

'Although it is very likely that I will not be able to come back alive when I return home, it is only possible, and a friend who works on the ship told me where to find a store of good wine, and I will have a good drink, and maybe when I wake up and everything is over'

Friends who work on a ship?

This paragraph is the end of the diary, and Ann puts it back with his fingers, his knuckles tapping his legs on and off.

He was thinking, and after a moment he said to the captain who was admiring the McFlin Cache:

"Mr. Captain, I would like to go to the scene of the first incident and take another look"

"No problem, we've locked it down, and the body is in the medical room for the time being"

An Yizhi has a bad premonition, mother, these sailors won't ruin the scene, right?
