Wei reminded: "If you don't do what the Philos family wants, the director will be very angry, and our positions may not be guaranteed."

"Wei, my original intention of becoming a police officer was not to curry favor with anyone," Caitlin said. "It wasn't before, and it won't be in the future."

Vi grinned and patted Caitlin on the shoulder: "This is the little Kai I know! Kind of! Then let's go and catch that murderous bastard!"

"Don't be impulsive, he hasn't shown up yet."

"So is the Philos family. Let's pick up someone, but they don't even tell us what that guy looks like."

"For confidentiality, understandable."

The two women said and walked back to the deck. Wei thought that her body was too dirty and sticky and uncomfortable. She asked the sailors if there was a place to bathe on the boat. The sailors pointed the way to Wei, and Wei went to wash her body first. .

Caitlin sat back on the reclining chair. Although the weather was sunny and the wind was sunny, when she thought of a corpse and a murderer on board, Caitlin couldn't enjoy the sun and sea in front of her.

Taking a sip of the juice, Caitlyn's mind kept reasoning about what was going on—the whereabouts of the smuggler, the sudden murder, the predicament of not being able to leave the ship.

"There must be some connection to all this..." Caitlin didn't believe in coincidence, everything was so strange at the moment, "There must be something leading me to the truth."

After thinking for a long time, Caitlin suddenly felt a little hungry, and she realized that she had been busy for most of the day and had not eaten.

Caitlin began to look for food, knowing that without supplements, her brain power would decline.

Caitlin saw a refrigerator not far away: "By the way, and the fish I caught."

Caitlyn walked over and opened the box, which was full of ice. Caitlin pushed aside the top layer, revealing the delicious fish that was refrigerated inside.

Caitlin picked up a piece of raw fish and ate it. It tasted icy and sweet, very delicious.

Caitlyn ate another slice and was about to cover the refrigerator and wait for Vi to come back after taking a shower, but she was stunned.

She immediately ran to the captain's room, pushed the door open and watched the entire murder scene.

"I see..." Caitlin raised the corners of her mouth, "The murder weapon has been found!"

Chapter 728 Solving the Case

"Vi!" Caitlin shoved the bathroom door open.

"Huh?" Wei Zheng was comfortably soaking in the bathtub, a bathtub full of bubbles covering her body, seeing Caitlin breaking into the bathroom, Wei raised her hand, "Damn, why can you be in the bathroom? I broke in when I was taking a shower, and when you were taking a shower, I was going to be thrown on the bench with soap when I entered your bathroom?"

"You are in the bathtub. I can't see your body. I took a shower last time."

"Is there a difference? You are too preoccupied with it, we are all women." Wei was quite incomprehensible, "Look at each other for what's wrong, and we won't lose a piece of meat."

"You still have the self-consciousness of being a woman?" Caitlin rolled her eyes at Wei, "And this has nothing to do with gender, it's a courtesy to respect others."

"You punks are fake." Wei yawned.

"Speaking of business." Caitlin sat down by the bathtub and said, "I found the murder weapon."

Wei's lazy eyes suddenly became energetic: "Where?"

"It's gone," Caitlin said. "The murder weapon is something that disappears very quickly."

Wei quickly responded: "Ice! There's an ice machine on board!"

"That's right." Caitlin snapped her fingers. "The murder weapon is a sharp weapon made of ice."

"But it's not right," Wei asked. "Why does it have to be ice? We're at sea, can we just use any weapon and throw it into the sea?"

"I went and re-examined the wounds of the deceased," Caitlin explained. "Look what this is."

Vi saw what was in Caitlin's hand, a small blood-stained thorn.

"This is... a needle?" Wei wasn't sure.

"It's a fishbone." Caitlin laughed. "This is the evidence. The murderer took a piece of ice from the freezer of the frozen fish, but he didn't notice that there was a fishbone in the freezer that wasn't thrown clean."

"The murderer is the one who can get close to the ice machine!" Wei clapped his hands and laughed.

"Don't worry, I need you to check the ice maker and refrigerator." Caitlin said, "It's impossible for a normal ice maker and refrigerator to freeze an ice blade that is enough to kill people."

"I remembered that an experiment at Piltover University recently yielded results." Wei said, "I saw in the engineer magazine, it seems that an old man professor took a piece from the extreme cold in the north. What is it called? ice thing."

"Is it true ice?" Caitlin said, "I have also heard of it. I heard that it is an energy source comparable to hex crystals."

"I'll check it out." Wei climbed out of the bathtub.

"Wei! I'm still here!" Caitlin hurriedly covered her eyes.

"I'm not a monster, so why are you covering your eyes?" Wei put on his swimsuit speechlessly, and went to the ice machine with Caitlin.

After fiddling around for a while, Wei opened the power core of the ice maker and saw what was inside.

A large glass vessel with only a small ice cube the size of a sesame floating in it.

"Sure enough, this thing is Zhenbing Machinery!" Wei carefully took out the glassware, and immediately put it on the ground, putting his hands on his stomach, "Wow! It's really freezing hands! It's so icy when you touch it through the glass, in the magazine. It seems true that Zhen Bing will die if touched."

"The murder weapon can be determined now." Caitlin smiled, "Finally, some progress has been made."

But Wei had a new question: "Why did the murderer have to use ice? This is the sea."

"Maybe it's a matter of distance?" Catelyn speculated, "If the murder weapon is thrown into the sea, there will be a considerable distance from the captain's cabin to the side of the ship after the murder, and there will be a sound when thrown into the sea, which may be heard by us. If you use ice, you can directly throw the murder weapon at the scene and wait for it to melt."

"But when the captain screamed, we rushed to the scene immediately. Even if the murder weapon was an ice blade, it couldn't have melted so quickly, right?"

"This is something I still don't understand." Caitlin looked at the fishbone in her hand. "The murder weapon is undoubtedly ice, but why choose ice and how does ice melt so quickly?"

Wei carefully put the glassware with Zhen Bing aside: "Anyway, there are some eyebrows. I'll go and examine the sailors to see if they have anything to hide."

"No violent interrogation," Caitlin reminded.

"Got it." Vi said and left, leaving Caitlin to think alone while looking at the glassware containing the real ice.

"The murder weapon has been found, and now there are still motives and methods for committing the crime..." Caitlin thought.

What puzzled her most was the motive.

They were obviously tasked by the Philos family to pick up the private criminal named Logic, but they encountered a murder.

Caitlin can basically be sure that the murderer is logic, and logic wants to test herself, but kills an innocent person.

But Caitlyn had searched the ship, and there was no trace of anyone but her and Vi, and the group of sailors.

Most likely, the logic lies among those sailors, but there is currently no way to tell.

Caitlin thought about it, and unknowingly returned to the scene of the crime.

The corpse, the blood, the neat room, everything was reflected in Caitlin's eyes, and all the elements of the incident were reflected and organized in Caitlin's mind.

Caitlin squatted down, and there was no trace of water on the ground except for the blood that had solidified.

Caitlin clearly remembered that there was no trace of water on the ground when she rushed over when the crime happened. She believed in her memory, and it was impossible for her to remember it wrong.

"The murder weapon is ice... The sun is very strong... It will melt very quickly, but it can't be that fast... I heard the screams and arrived here only half a minute, how can it be melted in such a short time, still Not a single trace of water left..." Caitlin was at a loss.

She settled down and stopped worrying about the issue of the murder weapon. Her rich experience in handling cases taught her that when solving a case, being too obsessed with one aspect could easily lead to a dead end. At this time, it was easier to break through by thinking about other things.

Caitlyn looked at the expression of the young captain's death. Caitlin had seen that look of grief and pain at the scene of many murders.

Caitlin looked around the room: "There are no signs of fierce fighting in the room, indicating that the murderer did it without the captain's guard. If the captain was not attacked, then the person who approached him should be someone he knew."

Caitlin looked at the blood on the wall: "Blood splattered all over the wall... After all, it was a very fast dismemberment... The murderer should have blood on his body when he killed... But those sailors were not blood on their bodies... …”

Caitlin's eyes widened suddenly.

She thought of a possibility.

A possibility that I don't want to believe.

...

"Fuck, those cowards only cry and beg for mercy, and they can't take out anything useful." Wei scolded and sat opposite Caitlin, "Is there any progress on your side?"

"Yes." Caitlin whispered, "Although there is no evidence, I probably deduced the modus operandi."

"Oh?" Wei's eyes lit up, "Come on."

"The murderer killed the captain at a very fast speed," Caitlin said. "There are no signs of fighting in the room. The murderer should be someone the captain knew and could approach him when he was defenseless."

"Is it really those guys from the sailors?" Wei gritted his teeth.

Caitlyn did not return to Wei, but continued: "The murderer moved very quickly, dismembering and killing people almost instantly, leaving the captain no chance to resist or escape. He used a knife made of ice. It was already melted when we arrived.”

"We're going so fast, there shouldn't be enough time for the ice to melt."

"No, that's enough," Caitlin said, "because the captain is already dead."

Wei frowned: "What do you mean?"

"We fell into a misunderstanding and thought that the scream was actually made by the captain. But in fact, the scream was too hoarse and shrill, and we couldn't tell that it was the captain's own voice."

"You mean that voice was faked by the murderer? Why did he do it?"

"In order to create an alibi," Caitlin said, "you only need to scream in the direction near the captain's room, you can attract the whole ship, and if you arrive in front of everyone's eyes, you can expel yourself as the murderer. Range. The reason why ice is used as a weapon is that it can be boarded without anyone suspecting it. There is no murder weapon, and there is nothing missing on the ship that can be used as a weapon. The suspicion is completely cleared."

Wei pondered.

"Also, the murderer's killing method was too cruel, and there must be a lot of blood on his body." Caitlin added, "And the murderer has a favorable position to deal with the blood on his body."

Wei was silent.

"You are the murderer," Caitlin said. "Wei."

Seeing that Wei didn't speak, Caitlin continued: "You left the ship in the name of swimming, then sneaked back to the ship while the captain was alone, and took a piece of ice from the refrigerator. With your ability, you can easily Turning a piece of ice into a deadly weapon can also easily make him die without a sound. After you kill him, go back to the sea to wash off all the blood on your body, wait until the time is up, and then return to the ship , returned to the sea after a scream, and jumped on the boat in front of me, pretending to be swimming just now. Since I can't contact the police station on the boat, I can't use professional equipment to determine the captain's death time. You only need to drag After a period of time, the captain's corpse can't tell the exact time of death, so you hide his fingers so that the engine can't start. You take the initiative to go to the engine room and then to the bathroom, but also to use the smell of oil and soap. Wash away the blood. That's all, Vi, do you admit it?"

"There's really no problem, Xiao Kai." Wei spread his hands, "but there are a few more questions, what's the motive? Why did I kill the captain? I met him for the first time today."

"I don't know your motives," Caitlin shouted, "but you have to go back to the police station with me and be held for investigation."

"Ha! Don't be kidding Xiao Kai!" Wei slapped the table hard, "I'm your partner who has been with you for so long! You actually doubt me!"

"Of course I believe you, but right now, you are indeed suspicious." Caitlin said.

"Kai, you..." Wei reached out and grabbed Caitlin.

"Don't move!" Caitlin pulled out the pistol hidden behind her and pointed it at Wei's head. "Don't come near me!"

Wei looked in disbelief: "Xiao Kai, you actually... pointed a gun at me..."

Caitlin's breathing was heavy, obviously trying to suppress her emotions. She gritted her teeth and said, "Be honest with me and go back to the investigation. If you are innocent, I will apologize to you, and you can make up for it whatever you want me to do. Row."

Wei was silent for a long time, then shrugged helplessly: "Okay, I admit, I killed people."

Wei's words slammed into Caitlin like a heavy fist. She used all her strength to keep herself from trembling, and asked with difficulty, "Why...why?"

"Why? Just kill him if he doesn't like it." Wei laughed, the Wei in front of him was completely different from the bright and sunny sister in Catelyn's memory, "You may not understand if you are a punk, we Zuan people, There is no reason to kill."

"what?"

"Actually, it's too late for you to find out. In fact, during our time as partners, many murders were actually committed by me, but I successfully put the blame on others. You foolishly thought you solved the case, you You don't really think you are a genius detective, do you?" Wei laughed.

Caitlyn couldn't believe what she was hearing, and she finally started shaking uncontrollably.

Wei pinched his phalanx: "Xiaokai, Xiaokai, how about letting me go this time? I like you very much, and I don't want to die with you."

Caitlin said angrily: "Don't think about it...you are no longer the Vi I know..."

"Really..." Vi shrugged, then lunged at Caitlin.

boom!

Gunshots sounded.

Chapter 729 Logic

A blood hole appeared in Vi's head, her eyes became hollow and scattered, and she fell weakly in front of Caitlin.

"Ha...ha...ha..." Caitlyn gasped, breathing hard, feeling dizzy, and the sight of her partner who had worked with her for so long dying in front of her made her feel as if she had two hands pinching her hard. It hurts like my own neck.

"Wei..." Caitlin approached Wei's body slowly, and Wei fell to the ground, but could no longer move.

"Ve!" Catelyn was distraught, and she threw her pistol and threw herself on Vi, crying.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
