When Lu Shijin heard about the dead, his first reaction was that Mrs. Feng was dead, so when he went out, he subconsciously wanted to go to Room 202.
But as soon as he got to the door, he saw Mrs. Feng herself coming out of the door from Room 202, with an unbelievable face after the rest of the disaster.
Isn't the dead Mrs. Feng? Who will it be?
The sound came from the first floor. Before the players on the second floor could ask each other what had happened, they hurried downstairs.
The screams also attracted the crew of the ship. Outside the babysitter's room on the first floor, it has been surrounded by the crew layer by layer, and no one else is allowed to approach.
Several people arrived before Lu Shijin, but unfortunately they were blocked outside by the crew and stood on tiptoe so that the elder could not see what was going on in the room.
Lu Shijin noticed that Miss Gao's face was pale, and the cold sweat flowing down her forehead had dazzled her carefully painted makeup. The scream just now sounded like her voice, so she should have seen something.
Lu Zhongze was next to Miss Gao and kept asking her what she saw. Miss Gao seemed to be greatly shocked and lost her language organization ability. She took a breath but couldn't say a word.
Lu Zhongze was impatient and grabbed Miss Gao's shoulders and shook, "You can say it quickly!"
"Let go of her." Lu Shijin walked over and pressed Lu Zhongze's arm blankly, secretly pressed it hard to force Lu Zhongze to release his hand, handed Miss Gao a bottle of mineral water, and said gently, "Take a sip of water first to suppress shock."
Lu Zhongze was unconvinced. He rolled down his sleeves and was about to do it, but Rong Zhi stood next to Lu Shijin and glanced at Lu Zhongze with warning.
It is unwise to fight against two. Even if Lu Zhongze is not convinced, he can only endure it and retreat aside angrily.
Miss Gao took the water, looked at Lu Shijin gratefully, and then took several sips of water, and her short breath stabilized.
"The man is dead inside?" Lu Shijin waited for Miss Gao to calm down before asking.
Miss Gao nodded, as if she remembered something. She was a little disgusting and covered her mouth and vomited dryly.
Mrs. Feng couldn't wait to interrupt: "Who is dead?" That babysitter?"
Miss Gao nodded again.
Lu Zhongze's voice came back: "Why did she die?" No."
Hearing this, Mrs. Feng stared at Lu Zhongze dissatisfiedly and sneered, "Listen to what you mean, who do you think deserves to die?"
Lu Zhongze snorted coldly, "Didn't you ask knowingly?"
Mrs. Feng blushed with anger, "You!"
"What are you?" Lu Zhongze said carelessly, "Ha ha, do you think I think so alone?" Ask the others standing here, who doesn't think so? Originally, you cooperated with your husband in the case. He died. According to what you said, it should be your turn. Who would have thought that the babysitter would die? Didn't she testify to Mr. Lu? Why did the murderer kill her? Oh, I see," Lu Zhongze pretended to suddenly realize, pointed to Mrs. Feng and said, "Actually, you are the murderer, aren't you?"
"You fart!" Mrs. Feng couldn't care about self-restraint. She knocked off Lu Zhongze and pointed to her hand and scolded, "I haven't left my room all afternoon. How can I kill people?" Are you fucking a dog biting? Be careful of lightning! If I were really a murderer, the first one should kill you!"
Lu Zhongze: "Well, I'll tell you my guess. Why are you still in a hurry? I think you are guilty, right? Then you can say, except you, no one has anything to do with this nanny. Why did the murderer kill her?
"I'm not the murderer! How could I know!" Mrs. Feng screamed angrily.
"Enough! Say less!" Lu Shijin impatiently interrupted the argument between the two, "Now that another person is dead, the murderer is still eyebrowed at all. What are you arguing about here?" I ask you," Lu Shijin turned his head and asked Miss Gao gently, "Have you seen how the babysitter died?"
Miss Gao nodded sadly, "Yes, she is... She was killed!"
"Shelmed to death?" Several people asked in surprise in unison.
Miss Gao: "Yes, won't the murderer kill people tonight, so I dare not sleep alone. Among the few women left, I think the babysitter looks more talkative, so I want to come to her and be a strong companion. Unexpectedly, when I came over, I found that her door was not closed. I shouted outside twice inside. No one answered, and then I went in and found her lying on the carpet of her room. She was dead!"
"Why did you say she was killed?" Tolerance to ask.
Miss Gao drooled with fear: "Because her stomach is very big, just like a few months of pregnancy, and then her mouth is full of pills, all overflowing out of her mouth... I suspect... She has been fed a lot of pills and survived alive!"
Feeding medicine to death? What kind of death is this?
What hatred and resentment? Is the murderer going to design such a perverted killing method?
And Li's nephew, whose death is also miserable. The murderer killed someone and found so many spiders. This is no longer a temporary murder. It can be said that there is a premeditated crime.
The crew had removed the babyssor's body and the room was vacated, but because the crime scene needed to be protected, no one else was allowed to search for evidence. The captain finally came out of the inside and brought out a mobile phone.
The mobile phone belongs to the babysitter, which contains her chat history with Mr. Feng. It turned out that although she ostensibly promised Mr. Lu to come forward to testify Mr. Feng's crimes, she secretly told Mr. Feng that Mr. Lu was going to expose his affairs, which made Mr. Feng decide to attack the old man.
Therefore, in Mr. Feng's life, the nanny is also one of the accomplices.
No wonder she would die. I'm afraid she thought only she and Mr. Feng knew about this matter. I don't know it. I guess she didn't expect the murderer to know it.
After knowing why the babysitter died, everyone shuddered. Who the murderer was? Why does he seem to know everything?
Lu Zhongze held his arm tightly and said, "Do you say... the death of these people... Isn't it, the old man's wronged soul is asking for death?"
Mrs. Li said disdainfully, "There are no ghosts in the world. The so-called ghosts are scary. The murderer must be on the ship, hiding in secretly peeping at each of us."
Lu Shijin meditated silently and sorted out the clues.
Yes, the murderer can't be a ghost, it can only be a human.
But why did he kill people in these ways? Do you just want to create an atmosphere of panic?
No, no one knew before the voting results were announced that there were only a few hours between Mr. Feng's throwing out and the death of the babysitter. Unless the murderer knew who he was going to kill for a long time, how could he plan such a cruel murder method in such a short time?
Although Lu Zhongze's "unjust soul for life" sounds ridiculous, his meaning is right.
The murderer's murder is like retaliating against Mr. Lu for those who want to kill him, and the way of death looks like the "wicky feedback" popular on the Internet.
However, all of them are just playing the role in the plot. The characters may be wrong, but the players are innocent. They don't really want to harm Mr. Lu, but just obey the instructions of the game and can't help it.
Therefore, if the murderer just obeys the instructions of the APP to kill, he doesn't have to spend so much money. Ten players have never met before they came here, and there is no grudge. What on earth is the reason for the murderer? What does he want to kill like this?
"I'm sorry to interrupt. What did you do after you left Room 202?" Lu Shijin listened to other people's discussion for a while, didn't hear any nutritious information, knocked on the table and politely interrupted everyone.
Mrs. Li, who was opposite, looked at Lu Shijin, "I remember you were the first to leave?" Why do you ask us first? Why don't you say what you are doing first?
Lu Zhongze turned his head to look at Lu Shijin and said, "Yes, what are you doing?"
Lu Shijin has not planned to share the clues found from the housekeeper with everyone. First, it is because the enemy is dark and does not want to attract the attention of the murderer. Second, even if he says it, this group of pig brains may not believe it.
Seeing that Lu Shi was silent, Lu Zhongze sneered, "Don't you dare to say it?"
Lu Shijin was thinking about making up some excuses to fool him, when he heard Rong Zhi say coldly, "Now we are focusing on finding the murderer. If you don't want to participate, you can leave. Just stay if you are willing to participate."
"Yes, don't quarrel at this time. Finding the murderer is the most important thing." Miss Gao should be grateful to Lu Shijin for just helping him, so she spoke out to maintain it.
Lu Shijin smiled and said lightly, "There's nothing I dare not say. I just think the room is too stuffy and went out to breathe. After leaving 202, I never seen the dead again. Later, I went back to Rong Zhi's room and stayed with him until I heard someone shouted 'dead' outside."
"Do you two want to prove the alibi to each other? Stop kidding. Do you treat others as fools?" Lu Zhongze simply tore his face and stood up and pointed to Lu Shijin, Mrs. Feng and Rong Zhi one by one. A trace of madness appeared on his face. "Now the babysitter is also dead. The murderer is among you, her, and you!" The murderer is hidden so deep that he hasn't exposed any clues so far, but I put my words here. If I can't win, none of you can think about it! Let's die together!"
After saying that, Lu Zhongze kicked over the chair behind him and left the banquet hall angrily. No one knew what he was going out to do, but no one cared about it.
Others don't take Lu Zhongze's threat seriously just now. Before entering the final challenge, the system warned them that the rules here are equivalent to the real world. Lu Zhongze only dares to show off. He may not dare to accept the knife in front of him.
Lu Shijin continued to ask, "Has anyone else seen the dead?"
Everyone shook their heads. Mrs. Li said, "We all don't know her well, and she lives alone on the first floor. Usually, she doesn't see anyone who is closer to. Who would have thought that the person who died would be her."
Miss Gao remembered the death of the babysitter and patted her heart with fear, "I can't figure it out. The murderer kills people. Why is it so cruel? Will he kill anyone else?" She looked at the others and saw that everyone felt very dangerous. She hugged her head with a breakdown. "End it quickly. I really can't stand it anymore."
No one can answer Miss Gao's question. Although tomorrow is the last day of the game, who can guarantee that the murderer will not do it again?
The pendulum bell suddenly rang, which shocked everyone. The bell kept ringing ten times, and everyone woke up like a dream. Unconsciously, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
The long night is far from over.
Everyone's spirit is on the verge of collapse, and there is no reason. Lu Shi stood up and said, "Let's go back to your room to rest, lock the door, and don't leave your room if there is nothing important."
That's all I can do. Everyone stood up one after another to prepare to go back to the house, and their pace was heavy.
"Mrs. Li!" Miss Gao suddenly stopped Mrs. Li walking in front of her and looked at her pleadingly. "Can I go to your room tonight?" I'm a little scared alone..."
There are still three women left. Mrs. Feng is suspected of being a murderer. Naturally, Miss Gao dares not stay with her. Although she and Mrs. Li had some quarrels and made some unhappy before, her life is at stake at this moment, and she can't care about any face. She just wants someone to accompany her courage.
Mrs. Li was silent. She was also a woman. Although she still showed calmness on her face, she was not afraid at all and impossible, so she nodded, "Okay, come with me."
Miss Gao was very surprised, "Thank you!"
——
Lu Shijin and Rong Zhi went to the deck, and the deep night was connected with the dark sea, like a giant beast lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to devour everyone.
The light on the deck was dim, and the huge beam of the searchlight swept through from time to time. The change of light and shadow made the expressions on their faces unpredictable.
The two walked to the railing, faced the vast sea, and stopped.
"What do you think of the babysitter's death?" Lu Shi asked today.
Rong Zhi: "It's strange to be a revenge killing."
Lu Shijin: "Yes, the death of Li's nephew and the babysitter is like the murderer is avenge on Mr. Lu, but the murderer killed Mr. Lu. What kind of avenge does he revenge? So I wonder if the person who killed Mr. Lu was not the same person as the murderer who killed others?"
Rong Zhi: "Do you suspect that there are two murderers?"
Lu Shijin: "Or there is another possibility that the murderer is not among ten of us."
Rong Zhi: "But the information says that the murderer is among the successor candidates..."
"Are there only a few of us in the candidate? Not necessarily." Lu Shijin interrupted Rong Zhi and sneered, "Don't you understand? The designers of this game just want to see us kill each other, and they don't want us to win at all. It's all up to this point. It can be said that the scope of the murderer has narrowed to be between you and me, because according to Miss Gao's description of the babysitter's death, the murderer may only be a man, and women won't have that strength. If we don't want to be thrown out tomorrow, we must find the real murderer tonight.
The light was dim, and Lu Shijin faintly seemed to see the corners of Rong Zhi's mouth moving.
"The murderer is between you and me, so how dare you come out alone with me? Aren't you afraid that I'll do it for you?" Rong Zhi's voice was very low and light, but he was blown away by the sea breeze in an instant.
Lu Shijin turned around and leaned against the railing and shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "If it's really you, I have to admit it. You can push me down now. I'll let you win... But I believe you're not."
On the deck on the second floor, the second floor of the cruise ship is already seven or eight stories high. If they are pushed down from here, it only takes a few seconds to be swallowed up by the sea in an instant and disappearing.
Lu Shijin was unexpectedly held down by Rong Zhi's shoulders. The man pushed him back a little by little. Lu Shijin's adrenaline soared up, grabbed Rong Zhi's arm with his backhand, and stared at the man with a deep face in horror.
No way? No way? He is not the murderer, is he?
"Are you kidding?" Lu Shiji smiled confidently and pretended to be calm.
Rong Zhiyou asked, "Are you afraid?"
Lu Shijin shook his head: "Of course not! As I said, I believe you!"
Rong Zhi was silent, but gradually pressed Lu Shijin's hand on Lu Shijin's shoulder, and Lu Shijin's upper body was pushed out a little bit.
Behind him is the deep sea. Lu Shi can hear the sound of the waves carried by the propeller below, which hit his eardrums, which made people frightening.
Lu Shijin believed that Rong Zhi was not the murderer.
Lu Shijin finally panicked and hurriedly hooked Rong Zhi's neck to prevent himself from being pushed down. He smiled flatteringly and said, "Don't, Mr. Pei, even if you are the murderer, don't rush to push me down now, so that your suspicion will be greater. Can you keep me for tonight?" It can also help you divert your attention."
Rong Zhi smiled and said, "Are you cheating me on the murderer?"
Lu Shijin said sincerely, "No, I really want you to win."
Rong Zhi leaned over and grabbed his eyes: "Why do you want me to win?"
"Because..." Lu Shijin's throat knot rolled and thought if it would be inappropriate to make a true confession at this time? Rong Zhi didn't think he was an excuse to survive, did he?
Rong Zhi: "Because of what?"
Lu Shijin took a deep breath, "I think I think you may need to go back to reality more than I do. You have been killed and wronged. You have to go back to prove your innocence."
Rong Zhi: "That's it?"
Lu Shi was afraid that he would not believe that he would really push himself down and tightened Rong Zhi's neck. "Not enough? So what else do you think can be because of it?"
"I thought..." Rong Zhi smiled as if he laughed at himself and didn't continue to go on, but he withdrew his strength in his hand. Lu Shijin felt that the strength pressed on him had disappeared. He quickly stood upright, and his heart hanging in his throat also fell into his chest.
"Why?" Lu Shijin keenly realized that Rong Zhi seemed to have something to say, so he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Nothing. Don't worry, I'm not the murderer. We will go back together." Rong Zhi looked as usual. When he looked down at Lu Shi, he still hung his arm around his neck. "How long do you want to hold it?"
Lu Shijin: "...I'm sorry."
Unfortunately, before he could take back his arm, he suddenly didn't know where Xu Chen's joking voice came from: "Is it a coincidence that I came to disturb your good deeds?"
Lu Shijin let go of his hand and hide behind his back, laughed and asked carelessly, "Why are you here? Do you have something to do?"
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Xu Chen slowly paced over and looked back and forth at Lu Shijin and Rong Zhi. "You two are really idle. Your lives are almost gone, and you are also in the mood to meet here. It seems that you are not in a hurry to find the murderer at all."
"Don't talk nonsense. What's wrong with the rendezvous? We were just here to talk about the case." Lu Shi was afraid of embarrassment and blinked at Xu Chen hard.
Xu Chen turned a blind eye and said coldly with his arm in his arms, "Do you think I'm blind?" Do you need to hug each other to talk about the case? Come on, I haven't seen you two when you did something 100 times more intimate. You need to hide it from me.
Rong Zhi's expression was confused: "..."
Lu Shi couldn't wait to sewed his big mouth with a needle.
Xu Chen said to himself, "But in just a few days, you can get together again. I also admire it. To be honest, are there any magnets tied to you that can help attract each other as soon as we meet?"
Lu Shijin resisted the impulse to hold his forehead, rushed over and pulled Xu Chen aside, and said in a low voice, "Shut up, he doesn't know anything. Don't talk nonsense in front of him, so that people will treat you as an insane."
Xu Chen looked back in surprise and looked at Rong Zhi, "Ah, don't you know that you two are intimate?" Is it too casual?"
Lu Shijin was too lazy to explain to him and asked impatiently, "What on earth did you come to me?"
"Oh, I just want to tell you," Xu Chen pointed behind him. "It's dead."
Lu Shijin was shocked: "Who is dead?"
Xu Chen thought for a moment, "I don't know the name, just sit next to you."
"Lu Zhongze?" Lu Shijin was so surprised that his eyebrows were about to fall off. He slowly looked back at Rong Zhi and said word by word, "Lu Zhongze is dead."
Rong Zhi's face suddenly became serious.
The three rushed to the place where Xu Chen found Lu Zhongze's body, which was remote. Maybe the crew had not patrolled here, so Lu Zhongze's body had not been found by others.
Lu Zhongze lay on his back on the deck, his eyes were round, his expression was stiff, and he had already breathless. Several mandala flowers were scattered beside him, and the body kept a strange posture and curled up. He should have struggled violently before he died.
Just now in the banquet hall, the bell rang ten times. Lu Shijin looked at his watch. It was only eleven o'clock, and the murderer actually killed another person!
"How did he die?" Lu Shi asked Xu Chen now.
"Poisoning, mandala poisoning." Xu Chen replied.
According to Lu Zhongze himself, he and Miss Gao gave Mr. Lu mandala pollen, so the murderer killed Lu Zhongze by treating him in his own way?
Lu Shijin suddenly thought of something and asked, "Have you examined the babysitter's body?"
"It's done," Xu Chen shrugged his shoulders, "He died after being poured with a large number of sleeping pills."
Although Miss Gao didn't say that she took medicine to death, he died miserably.
When Lu Zhongze died, he and Rong Zhi were together. They could not have a chance to commit crimes. The remaining people were three thin women. How could Lu Zhongze kill the tallest man with their strength?
And he killed two people in such a short time. Why is the murderer so eager that he is not afraid to expose himself? Or is his mission actually to kill all the players on the ship?
Many questions are like a ball of wool balls that are getting more and more messy, and they can't find the thread to sort them out at all.
Lu Shijin: "Three murders and one murderer. Let's write down the characteristics of the murderer. First of all, it must be a man. His psychological quality is very good, and his thinking is very meticulous. He should be a tall and mature man."
Rong Zhi took over: "The murderer should be very familiar to the three dead, and he is not prepared for him. He won't think he will be the murderer, otherwise he will not be allowed to get close to him."
Xu Chen pointed out, "In addition, this person should have deep feelings for Mr. Lu, otherwise he would not have taken the pains to kill so many people to avenge him. To sum up, this person is likely to be--"
Lu Shijin and Rong Zhi looked at each other. The man on the ship knew had something to do with Mr. Lu. Except for the two of them, only one person was still alive!
If that person wants to kill all the people who have hurt Mr. Lu--
Lu Shijin: "Not good! Others are in danger!"
——
However, when the three of them figured out everything and chased into the cabin, they were still a step late.
They went to Mrs. Li's room first. When they saw the door open, Lu Shi knew that the murderer had won.
Rushing in, Miss Gao and Mrs. Li had fallen into a pool of blood. Miss Gao's body was no longer moving, and Mrs. Li still had a faint breath. Seeing Lu Shijin and Rong Zhi coming in, she wanted to survive, so that she could stretch out a hand to them, hoping that someone could save her.
But the knife was inserted in Mrs. Li's heart. Lu Shijin and Rong Zhi knew that Mrs. Li was hopeless.
There is another man in the room. He is still wearing the black and rigorous housekeeper's uniform. Although he killed two people, he was clean and even had no messy hair. He has been with Mr. Lu for so many years, which is deeply rooted by Mr. Lu's true biography. No matter what happens, he will never be shocked and calm. Forced.
They didn't guess correctly. The murderer was the housekeeper.
If it hadn't been seen with your own eyes, who would have thought that the kind and kind housekeeper would be a murderer who killed five people in a row?
"You are coming." The housekeeper turned his back to them and seemed to have expected them to come back for a long time, and his voice was extremely calm.
Lu Shijin was on alert. His hand was inserted in his trousers pocket, with a knife in it, and the housekeeper was holding it to attack them.
Lu Shijin asked, "Why did you kill someone?"
The housekeeper slowly turned towards them. He moved, and Lu Shijin sweated with a knife in his hand.
"Didn't you want to kill people first?" The housekeeper sneered, "You can do it to a terminally ill poor old man for your selfishness. Didn't you expect that there would be a day of retribution?"
"So you killed them to avenge Mr. Lu?" Lu Shi asked today, "But how did Mr. Lu die?"
"Then you have to ask her," the housekeeper looked disdainfully at Mrs. Li, who was half-gulled on the ground, took out her handkerchief and wiped her fingers. "It's not that sir didn't give her a chance, but she was vicious and must kill her brother. Sir, don't you all want him to die early? He also knew that he had a good life in a few days and took great efforts to arrange everything for you, but that's how you repaid him!"
According to the housekeeper's dictation, it turned out that in order to compete for the inheritance, Mrs. Li first colluded with Lu Zhongze and asked Miss Gao to give the old man anesthetic.
That night, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Li explained why they decided not to directly divide her property, but to help her set up a foundation, thinking that Mrs. Li should understand his good intentions as a brother and dispel his murderousness.
But who would have thought that in the middle of the night, Mrs. Li went and returned, taking a knife to kill Mr. Lu.
But after all, she is a woman and timid. She didn't turn on the light when she entered the room, so she accidentally kicked down the chair in a hurry. This is the movement Lu Shi heard in the middle of the night.
Then, when she saw the bedding arched on the bed, she directly inserted the knife in. Then she was not sure whether the old man was dead, so she escaped from the room.
She didn't expect that the old man had expected someone to kill him, so she didn't sleep in bed, and all this was clearly seen by the housekeeper hiding in the dark.
The closest people wanted to kill him, which made Mr. Lu feel that it was meaningless to continue to live.
He stabbed himself in his heart with a knife while the housekeeper was unprepared, and told the housekeeper before he died. Don't hate anyone. This is his retribution.
Finally, Mr. Lu asked the housekeeper to open the curtain. At the last moment of his life, he looked at the moon outside the window and closed his eyes.
"Sir, let me not resent, but how can I not hate it?" The housekeeper looked at the land with compassion, "All those who have hurt him must pay the price!"
It turned out that Mrs. Li was the person who got the murderer's card. The APP must have given her instructions to kill Mr. Lu, but because she was afraid, she just stabbed a knife on the quilt by mistake. If the housekeeper hadn't said everything, I'm afraid she didn't know until she died. Mr. Lu actually died of suicide.
But Mrs. Li has voted in the first round. Who voted for Mr. Feng in the second round?
At this moment, Mrs. Feng, who heard the movement, also rushed over. Seeing the two "blood people" on the ground, she was scared and pointed to the housekeeper in horror, "It's you!" It's you!"
Lu Shijin pressed Mrs. Feng's hand and looked awe-inspiring: "Don't shout yet. Let me ask you, did you vote on Mr. Feng?"
Mrs. Feng shook her head blankly.
Lu Shijin thought a little and said affirmatively, "That can only be the babysitter's vote."
"Oh, you mean that babysitter?" The housekeeper laughed, "I just provided her with some fake news, and she couldn't wait to bite Feng. Do you think this kind of wall grass should die?"
The truth finally came out. Mrs. Li got the murderer's card, and the housekeeper was the real murderer of five murders.
"Just recognize it. Now you have no way out. Just grab it." Lu Shi said in a low voice.
The housekeeper took a step towards them. Mrs. Feng hurriedly hid behind her back in horror. Rong Zhi blocked Lu Shijin with his arms and made a protective gesture.
The housekeeper looked at Rong Zhi with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you. You three are your sons and daughters. Parents will always be tolerant of their children. Although you have made mistakes, I think your husband will forgive you. So although I killed these people, I never wanted to hurt you. He turned his eyes to Lu Shijin, and the hostility in his eyes subsided and became as kind as Lu Shijin saw him for the first time. "Son, I know you hate Mr., but you have to believe that everything you have done is for your own good. He has a sentence for me to convey to you. You have a long life and should not live in resentment. "
The author has something to say: It's the countdown to the end, and the extra is not ready to be written, because every small world basically has extras.
