"There is still the last day," Lu Shijin's voice was quiet, "the game is over. Have you ever thought about what to do when you go back if you win?"
Rong Zhi said bluntly, "I've thought about it many times."
"I think you are also unwilling and unwilling to die so silently," Lu Shijin smiled, looked sideways at him, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Pei, do you have anyone you like in the real world?"
Lu Shijin's "Mr. Pei" stunned Rong Zhized for a moment. The cold face loosened for a moment, as if he had fallen into a certain memory.
"No," Rong Zhihui denied it and said lightly, "I used to be busy with work, and I didn't have time to like someone."
Lu Shi raised his eyebrows and smiled, expressing surprise.
Rong Zhi's dark pupil looked at him, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, "How about you?" Do you have anyone you like?"
Lu Shijin shook his head and said, "I'm gay."
Rong Zhi's eyes are a little darker.
Lu Shijin shrugged his shoulders: "But I dare not come out. My parents have been people's teachers all their lives. They are stubborn and conservative. They definitely can't accept that their sons like men, so there is no one they like."
Rong Zhi's eyebrows restrained, "Really?" The tone sounds inexplicably sorry.
Lu Shijin casually pulled the corners of his mouth: "But after this time, I finally understand that people only live once in their lives. No matter what you do, being happy is the most important thing, so--"
"So what?" Tolerance to ask.
Lu Shijin's eyes naturally moved down along the man's face. He lowered his head and said softly, "So if you can go back smoothly this time, if you meet the right one, you won't have so many worries and don't want to leave regrets for your life."
Rong Zhi's toe stretched out to Lu Shijin, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and fell on Lu Shijin's shoulder and patted it. "We will go back. We can definitely do it."
Lu Shijin lowered his head and didn't lift it up. He asked himself in his heart, "Will he?" Really?
But why, the closer he gets to the truth, he becomes more and more panicked?
——
Not only Lu Shijin panicked, but also other players were also nervous.
The most nervous thing is Mrs. Feng, because if according to the previous murderer's law, the person who conspires to commit a crime will die, and the next person who will die is likely to be her!
She hoped to find someone to spend the night with her, but her life was at stake. Everyone chose to protect themselves wisely and did not want to be involved in a prey that might have been targeted by the murderer. No one was willing to help this poor woman. She left Room 202 indifferently and was ready to go to the crime scene on the third floor to continue to search for evidence. .
Surrounded by despair and fear, Mrs. Feng felt that she was in danger outside and did not dare to go out. After waiting for her to leave, she immediately locked the door and pulled the sofa behind the door to block the door.
She still felt unsafe enough. She took a fruit knife into the quilt on the bed. As she cursed everyone in a low voice, she trembled and waited for the unknown fate...
Finally, when the crime scene opened, others rushed to Mr. Lu's bedroom on the third floor to search for clues.
Lu Shijin followed everyone and looked in. Except for a pool of dark red blood stains on the bedding on the bed, everything in the room had not moved as it was, including the glass of red wine he poured for the old man himself last night, which was also put on the coffee table. It seemed that he After leaving, the old man didn't drink.
Although Lu Shijin was sure that he would not be the murderer, he did not say anything. Others rummaged over the boxes and cupboards in the room like bandits entering the village to find clues. Lu Shijin was not easy to be idle and looked for it at will in the study opposite the old man's bedroom.
Open the drawer, which contains a pile of thick documents. Lu Shijin picked up the documents and turned them over at will. They are all reports about the company, and there is nothing special.
Just as he was about to close the drawer, Lu Shijin noticed that something seemed to be pressing under the document. Before no one came to the study, Lu Shijin quickly pulled out the paper and looked down. It turned out to be a photo.
The photo shows a woman and two little boys under the age of four.
The color of the photo is slightly yellow, and the corners are also a little wrinkled. It should be often taken out and seen. There are several small words in the lower right corner of the photo, "Take in City H in 1995".
Lu Shijin turned the photo over and wrote a line with a pen on the blank back.
"My child and I are doing well. Don't think about it, don't come to me."
What does this mean?
Who are the women and children in the photo? Who was this photo sent to?
A bunch of doubts have not been solved yet, and new doubts have come. Lu Shi feels big today.
Suddenly, when he heard footsteps coming from the door of the study, Lu Shijin quickly folded the photo in his pocket. Seeing Lu Zhongze coming in, he asked ind nothing, "Have you found any clues?"
"No," Lu Zhongze strolled around the study. "How about you? Did you find a clue?"
"No, I just came in for a long time." Lu Shi said today.
Lu Zhongze looked at him suspiciously: "I kindly remind you that it's time. It's not good for you to hide clues. If you find anything, it's better to say it."
Lu Shijin was confused and asked with a smile, "Why?"
Lu Zhongze walked to him, lowered his voice and said, "Now that the situation is so clear, why are you still asking? The murderer is between you, the babysitter and the illegitimate child. You have to prove that you are not the murderer! Of course, I believe you are not, but others don't believe it.
"You believe me I'm not, so who do you think is it?" Lu Shi asked deliberately.
Lu Zhongze glanced up and obviously wanted to say, "I know you know the illegitimate child, but do you really believe him?" In the last round, you said that neither you nor he voted, so who voted for Mr. Feng? Babysitter? But the babysitter seems to have the least incentive to kill now, so I think one of you is likely to lie. What do you think?"
"You're right," Lu Shijin patted his suit cuffs and smiled. "But guessing is just guessing. You still have to take evidence in everything. If there is no conclusive evidence, you can't throw the murderer by guessing, right? It's the last chance. Take it on.
"It seems that you still want to protect him," Lu Zhongze didn't pretend to be a good person. He tore off the mask of hypocrisy and said sarcastically, "It's really brotherly and touching. Then I'll wait and see. If I finally find evidence that one of you murderers, will the other person choose to die together, or is it urgent? How about selling friends to survive? Hahaha!"
The talker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. When Lu Shijin heard the word "brotherly affection" coming out of Lu Zhongze's mouth, he inexplicably beat again, as if he was about to catch some key clues, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Lu Shi didn't want to listen to Lu Zhongze's nonsense anymore. He walked out of the study. Rong Zhi, who was searching for evidence outside, saw him coming out of the study and asked in a low voice, "Have you found anything?"
When Lu Shi saw Rong Zhi today, his mind suddenly cleared up. He knew what was going on!
The photos in the study will never appear there for no reason. They must be important clues.
The woman and child in the photo must have a lot to do with Mr. Lu. It is likely that Mr. Lu's death has a hidden relationship!
Although Lu Shijin doesn't know the woman in the photo, the two children are probably on the boat now, just among them!
The photo was taken in 1995, almost 25 years ago, so the two children should be about 30 years old now.
Of the ten people on the ship, there were six men, excluding Mr. Li, Li's nephew and Mr. Feng, leaving him, Lu Zhongze and Rong Zhi.
Lu Zhongze is Mr. Lu's own nephew. The character introduces him as an only child. He has no brothers and sisters. No matter how romantic the old man is, he can't have anything to have anything with his sister-in-law, right? Therefore, Lu Zhongze can also rule out.
So what's left is Rong Zhi and him... Isn't it?
Lu Shijin looked at Rong Zhi in a complicated look. How can he explain it with Rong Zhi? In fact, they are "brothers" who have been separated for many years?
That's too ridiculous!
"I didn't find anything. I'm a little anxious. I went back to my room to the toilet." Lu Shi was not sure about this relationship yet. He wanted to find other clues and slipped out of the room by urine.
He is a little dizzy now. If he and Rong Zhi's roles are "brothers", how can they explain that one is Mr. Lu's adopted son and the other is Mr. Lu's illegitimate child?
There is no reason for the old man to recognize only one of his two sons.
Will it be... half-brother? In this way, it can be explained.
Lu Shijin remembers that he has not cracked his murder motive so far. Will it have anything to do with this clue?
Unfortunately, the old man is dead. He can't take the photo to ask him what the people on him have to do with him... Wait!
Lu Shijin's mind suddenly appeared. In addition to the old man, another person may know the inside story!
Housekeeper! The housekeeper has been with the old man for decades. The old man trusts him very much, so the housekeeper should know about the old man!
Damn, how could you forget such an important NPC?
Lu Shijin was about to take the photo to the housekeeper to ask about the situation when the mobile phone in his pocket shook.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone received a prompt on their mobile phones at the same time, which was Mr. Lu's autopsy result.
"After examination, Mr. Lu's death was between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. on the 2nd. The cause of death was due to the severe heart bleeds caused by the heart that his heart was cut off by a sharp instrument. At the same time, on the body, the forensic doctor detected allergy symptoms and the composition of anesthetic in the blood.
It's no different from what the convenience store told him before.
Lu Shijin's heart was tightly grasped. He seemed to be getting closer and closer to the truth, and he was about to touch the yarn that was covered with the truth.
But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he is afraid of the truth he can't stand.
He took a deep breath and forget it. No matter what the truth is, he figured it out first and then said it. There was no reason to go this point and flinch.
He was about to go downstairs when he heard a "poof" sound in the corner next to him. Looking around, Xu Chen's cat hid around the corner, revealing half of his head, and waved to Lu Shijin mysteriously.
Xu Chen: "Come here."
Lu Shijin walked over and said, "Why are you here?"
Xu Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't this worried about you? Have you found any clues?
Lu Shijin frowned and had a lot of things on his mind. "I found it, but I haven't figured it yet."
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy to find the clue?" Seeing that he was depressed, Xu Chen asked strangely.
Lu Shijin stared at him, "Convenience store, what should I do if Rong Zhi is the murderer?"
"Ha?" Xu Chen stared in surprise, and his voice suddenly pulled up. He reacted that he was afraid that people would find it. He quickly covered his mouth and lowered the voice before opening his mouth, "No way?! So unlucky? Is he the murderer? Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure yet. I just want to ask you, if so," Lu Shijin looked at Xu Chen with a little hope. "What can you do?"
Xu Chen raised his hand and sweated: "... What can I do about this? I'm just an ordinary person here, and I can't change anything."
Lu Shijin's eyes faded little by little and sighed, "I know."
Xu Chen has been with Lu Shijin as a system for so long. It is the first time he see Lu Shijin's face as if the sky is about to collapse: "Don't be discouraged. You just said it all. You're not sure. Find clues again. What if you guess wrong?"
"Well," Lu Shijin reluctantly cheered and wiped his face. "Do you know where the housekeeper is?"
Xu Chen patted his chest and said, "You asked the right person. I know. Come with me!"
Xu Chen took the land to the first floor today, and all the servants and the crew on the ship's rooms were here.
Finding the room where the housekeeper lived, Lu Shijin knocked on the door, but no one responded. The housekeeper should not be in the room.
If he is not in the room, where will he go with an NPC?
Lu Shijin decided to stay outside the housekeeper's room until he came back.
Anyway, there is nothing to do. Lu Shijin waited and took out photos to discuss with Xu Chen. Now, except for the convenience store he believed, he couldn't find anyone else to discuss.
"I found a photo in the drawer of Mr. Lu's study."
Xu Chen glanced at him and said, "Who is the people above?"
"I guess the child is me and Rong Zhi. If a woman is a woman, it should be the role of the mother." Lu Shi is concise and comprehensive today.
Xu Chen: "How do you know?"
Lu Shijin: "Don't care how I know, I now think the death of the old man should not only be as simple as someone to make money and kill, but may have other secrets. As long as you untie this secret, you may be able to solve the truth."
Xu Chen put his arms around his chest and frowned, "This game is so complicated. Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?" The ultimate challenge is not that easy.
"What I'm worried about now is that when I ask the housekeeper, the housekeeper may not be willing to tell me the truth. After all, I am also one of the suspects." Lu Shijin said in distress.
Xu Chen's eyes lit up and rang his finger, "Simply, give me the photo. I'll just ask for you."
"You?" Lu Shijin sneered, "Why do you think he will tell you?"
"As I'm a forensic doctor," Xu Chen clapped his hands. "I'm the captain. Please come over to help investigate the case and ask the relevant personnel for clues. Isn't it normal?"
It sounds reasonable. I can't think of any better way for the time being. I can only let Xu Chen have a try.
In order to prevent the housekeeper from seeing him and arousing his suspicion, the two discussed and decided that Lu Shi hid first and Xu Chen chatted with the housekeeper alone.
Strangely, the two waited outside the housekeeper's room for an hour, and the storm outside stopped before the housekeeper came back.
The old man is dead, and the housekeeper has no one to serve. What does he have to do alone and need to go out for so long?
Lu Shijin increasingly felt that the NPC of housekeeper was not simple.
After waiting for almost an hour and a half, I finally heard footsteps sounding outside the corridor. When the two people who doze off immediately cheered up, Lu Shijin quickly flashed into the corner and hid, and Xu Chen came forward to deal with the housekeeper.
"Dr. Xu, why are you here?" The housekeeper asked strangely.
Xu Chen: "It's such a housekeeper. The captain is concerned about the progress of Mr. Lu's death. Let me ask you a few questions. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"
The housekeeper said kindly, "Of course it's convenient. Let's go into my room for a cup of tea and talk slowly."
Lu Shijin heard a sound of opening the door, then footsteps sounded, and the door closed gently again to make sure that there was no movement in the corridor, and then he leaned out of the corner.
The sound insulation in the room is very good. The people inside speak in a low voice. They can't hear what was said inside at all outside the door. Lu Shijin can only stare outside.
However, Xu Chen hasn't come out for so long, which means that he still has chatted with the housekeeper.
Lu Shijin was a little relieved.
He left the corridor and went to the balcony on the first floor. The storm outside the cabin had stopped, and the sky was as blue as if it had been washed, with a few wisps of clouds.
It was already evening, and the night gradually spread from the west. The sea was calm, but Lu Shi knew that calm was just a superficial image, and what was hidden under the sea level was the power that could destroy everything.
The mobile phone suddenly shook again. Lu Shijin opened it and asked him where he had gone.
Lu Shijin: [I'm on the first floor. I have something to do. Are you over? What did you find?]
Rong Zhi: [There was no special discovery. The autopsy found that Mr. Lu died of the fruit knife, but everyone confessed to the murder method, but no one admitted that he used a knife.]
Lu Shijin: [If I were the murderer, of course I wouldn't admit it. By the way, Lu Zhongze and Miss Gao planned to kill people?]
Rong Zhi: [As they changed their words as before, they admitted to giving Mr. Lu mandala pollen, but they did not admit to killing people with a knife.]
Lu Shijin saw the message sneered at his mobile phone, and he knew that Lu Zhongze, his grandson, hadn't told the truth from the beginning.
He was poisoned for a while and changed the medicine. If he hadn't confirmed that he was not the murderer now, I'm afraid he would never have said how he killed him.
However, he knows that Lu Zhongze will not be the murderer. He is the character of a shit stick in the game. He is greedy and afraid of death, and he is at the wind.
I was stunned and didn't return to the message, and my mobile phone shook twice.
Rong Zhi: [Have you finished your business yet?]
Lu Shijin: [What's wrong? What's the matter?]
Rong Zhi: [It's going to be dark, and it's dangerous outside.]
Lu Shijin couldn't help smiling at his mobile phone, and Rong Zhi's tone was very much like a parent who urged the child to go out to play and rushed home before dark.
Lu Shi amused him today.
Lu Shijin: [It's dangerous outside. Where is it safe? Do you have a room?]
Rong Zhi: [If you are afraid of staying alone, I can share my room with you.]
Lu Shi typed in a word today: "Okay, wait for me, and I'll be right back."
Rong Zhi: [Uh-huh.]
Lu Shijin: [However, you are not afraid that I am the murderer. Did you lead the wolf into the house?]
It took a while for Rong Zhi to reply: [Then I can only admit it."
Lu Shijin: [What do you recognize?]
Rong Zhi: [You are so good at acting that I can only admit it.]
Xu Chen asked the housekeeper and came out of the housekeeper's room to find Lu Shijin. What he saw was Lu Shijin holding his mobile phone and laughing happily.
"Who are you talking to? Laughing like a sunflower." Xu Chen came out from Lu Shi and asked coldly.
Lu Shi put away his mobile phone and regained his seriousness on his face. "I have to take care of it. You have sunflowers on your face."
"Oh, don't worry about me. Then I'll go."
Xu Chen was about to leave. Lu Shijin quickly stopped people and smiled and said, "Oh, good convenience store. I'm kidding. Say it quickly. What did the housekeeper say to you?"
Xu Chen: "He didn't say who the person in the photo was, but he just told me a story about the old man when he was young..."
About 30 years ago, Mr. Lu's father was seriously ill and asked Mr. Lu, who was studying abroad at that time, to come back to inherit his family business.
When Mr. Lu came back, he married another rich family under the arrangement of his father, but he did not actually love his wife. He devoted himself to his career and often ran around the world.
Once when talking about business abroad, foreign gangsters will be unfavorable to Mr. Lu. Fortunately, a man saved Mr. Lu. In order to express his gratitude, Mr. Lu promised that men could come to him if they had any difficulties in the future.
Before long, the man was arrested for economic crimes and sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The man asked the lawyer to find Mr. Lu and asked him to help take care of his pregnant wife until he was released from prison. Of course, Mr. Lu agreed.
The man's wife is a gentle and beautiful woman and is reasonable. He and Mr. Lu once stayed in a school. Of course, they have many common languages.
Gradually, in the process of taking care of the man's wife, Mr. Lu fell in love with the wife of his life-saving person, just like the stories in many novels. The two had undesirable feelings, and even the woman later gave birth to Mr. Lu a child.
But the paper couldn't wrap the fire. In the end, the matter between the two was still found by Mr. Lu's original matchkeeper. The original match came to the door. The woman herself felt ashamed, so she left Mr. Lu with her child, went to other city life, and prevented Mr. Lu from coming to her.
Until a few years later, Mr. Lu suddenly knew that the woman had died of illness. He rushed to the woman's city to take care of her two children, but the two children had been admitted to the welfare home. Among them, Mr. Lu's own child had just been adopted not long ago. Mr. Lu could only take the rest of the one claimed to be adopted child. Go back, but I haven't interrupted the search for my own flesh and blood...
"You guessed right," Xu Chen finished telling the story and looked at Lu Shi Jin sympathetically. "You two are really half-brothers. Hey, it's really God's will."
Although Lu Shijin had a hunch for a long time, he couldn't help but feel sorry.
It seems that the two of them are alone tonight, and his plan to do something is ruined.
