Chapter 512 Lost Track

   "He" is waiting.

  The discovery of the corpse was expected by "he", and the fear and anxiety shown by these stupid mortals is exactly what "he" hoped to see. In fact, these mortals are not just the audience of this show, they are also the sacrifices of that terrifying and great existence that is about to come into this world!

   Feel honored, stupid, humble mortals, how honored you are to be the first to be qualified and honored to face that existence, and to be one with its soul and flesh and blood.

Thinking of this, "he" showed a cold smile, but the corner of his mouth just turned up, and he saw the girl blocking the gate with a holy book in her hand looking at him curiously, "he He hurriedly lowered his head, and at the same time, "he" was also mocking the girl's stupidity deep in his heart.

   Belief in gods that don't exist at all is really stupid. I really want to see what kind of reaction you will have when you meet the true god...

  Thinking of this, "he" clenched his fists and smiled secretly.

  The time of the great comeback is coming! And I will show you the infinite divine power of that existence here!

   While someone was huddling into a ball and daydreaming, Duanmu Huai was also leading other people to search the room.

  No useful clues were found in the infirmary and warehouse. As for Williams' room, Duan Muhuai also went in to check it out—since Ling Nu didn't respond, there was probably nothing there.

  Next, he came to another guest room, which was the room of the body discoverer Fred Winston.

  Although he was the first to discover the body, it doesn't mean that he is free of suspicion. On the contrary, in many cases, the first discoverer at the scene of the case is more suspicious. It's not that Duanmuhuai has any investigation experience, it's simply that this kind of thing happens too much in the game, and each of these cultists is like a movie king possessed. victim's.

   I’ve seen it a lot, and I’ve gotten used to it for a long time.

  However, when Duanmuhuai pushed open the door of Fred's room and saw the scene inside, everyone was shocked.

  On the floor of the entire room, there were circles and patterns similar to those around the previous corpse, and candles were lit all around. It looked gloomy, and it looked strange!

   "Could it be that Mr. Fred is the prisoner?!"

Seeing this, the bodyguards and doctors were also taken aback. Of course, they also knew who the first discoverer was, but as ordinary people, they must subconsciously think that the first discoverer should not be the prisoner. This logic is actually quite normal. After all, ordinary people Generally speaking, if ordinary people do something bad, they hope to be discovered as late as possible. How can someone not only not cover up their crimes, but actively expose them?

   But right now the evidence is solid...

   "Well, Fred is not necessarily the prisoner."

  Duanmu Huai looked rather calm and waved his hand.

   "But those weird magic circles here are obviously the same as those in the smoking room!"

   "Similar, but I don't know if the effect is the same."

  Duanmuhuai walked into the room while talking, then he lowered his head and twitched his nose.

   "Does Fred smoke?"

"this……"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's question, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then the female student from the master's college nodded.

   "He smokes! I saw a pipe in his hand when I came out just now!"

   "Fine, let's continue."

   Duanmu Huai silently wrote down a note in the small notebook in his heart, then turned and left. Ling Nu didn't say anything, which meant that there were no useful clues in this room... That's right, Duanmu Huai was too lazy to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find things. With Ling Nu as an expert, he was naturally happy to be a tool man.

   After that, Duanmu Huai went to other rooms to go around again, and finished the room on his side. Except for the room of the corpse finder Fred, which was tricky, the other rooms were normal.

   Then there are three cabins on the opposite side, which belong to the deceased Williams and his bodyguard Dot, followed by Arthur Dot.

Duanmuhuai had already been to Williams and Dort's room, and nothing unexpected was found. On the contrary, it was Arthur's room that gave Duanmuhuai a pleasant surprise. Unexpectedly, when he pushed open the door and walked into Arthur's room, he saw the black cat lying on his shoulder seemed to find something, and suddenly let out a cry, then jumped down and rushed into Arthur's room. In Arthur's room - the trash can.

   "Hey, hey, don't go anywhere."

Seeing the black cat pounced into the trash can, Duanmu Huai was also taken aback for a moment, and hastily stretched out his hand to lift Ling Nu out of the trash can. Then he lowered his head and looked towards the trash can. With a pile of shredded paper—and not just any shredded paper, it looks like...a photo?

"What's this?"

   Duanmu Huai picked up the pieces of paper in the trash can, and then put them back together... Well, it really is a photo.

   This is a photo of a group of people.

   It would be fine if it was just that, but the problem is...the person in this photo has a problem.

  The victim in the middle of this photo is Williams Ford, and among the crowd, Duanmuhuai also saw another figure...

   "Dr. Rose."

   Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at Rose, who was already pale at the moment.

   "You didn't tell me that you knew Williams."

  Duanmu Huai clicked some photos while talking, and at this moment, Dr. Rose's complexion changed drastically, and then she gritted her teeth.

   "I, I did have a few encounters with Williams, but I didn't kill Williams, and I didn't know he was on this airship!"

   "So, where did you meet?"

   Duan Muhuai stared at Dr. Rose, and asked, he remembered it very clearly. Williams wrote in his diary that when he was young, he had joined an elite club of high society, that is, Silver Twilight Cabin. And who knows if the photo in front of him was taken by someone from the Silver Twilight Cabin.

  If this is the case, then Dr. Rose is also a member of Silver Dusk Cabin, which means she is also a cultist!

   One more problem is that this photo was found in Arthur's room, and Arthur also smokes!

   Not only that, although Dr. Rose is a female doctor, she also smokes!

  If she is a cult member, then the previous testimony that the prisoner is an adult male can be completely overturned!

"etc!"

   At this moment, the bodyguard Dot seemed to have discovered something again, and hurried over, carefully observed the photo, and then stretched out his hand.

   "Look here!"

"Um?"

   Duan Muhuai looked in the direction of the bodyguard Dot's finger and looked towards the edge of the photo. Then his eyes widened suddenly, and he saw half of the maid on the edge of the photo. Although there is only half of the body and head, it can be seen that this should be the maid Ethel on the airship!

  Hey, things are getting more and more interesting now.

  Looking at the photo in front of him, Duanmuhuai couldn't help touching his chin. At first, he thought it was just a murder by a cultist, but now it seems that there are at least three people in this airship who knew Williams in the past!

  At least judging from this photo, Dr. Rose and the maid named Ethel cannot escape the relationship! Also, this photo was found in Arthur's room. Even if he wasn't in it, it meant that this photo was related to Arthur!

   That is to say, besides Fred, the arrogant Arthur, the doctor Rose, and the maid Ethel are all suspects!

  After all, Williams said very clearly in his diary that the reason why he fled was that the cultists in Silver Twilight Cabin wanted to use his blood to perform some kind of evil ritual. So from the current point of view, the murderer is likely to be someone Williams knew in the club called Silver Twilight Cabin!

  If the people in this photo are all members of the Silver Twilight Cabin, then neither the doctor Rose nor the maid Ethel can escape the relationship!

  The only problem is that, judging from the time this photo was taken, it was twenty years ago, but the maid Ethel is only in her twenties...Of course, the premise is that she is still a human being, not a monster.

   Everyone panicked now, and Duanmuhuai also stared at Dr. Rose, who gritted his teeth and finally lowered his head.

   "Well, I said, it was actually Arthur who threatened me..."

   "Threatening you?"

   "Yes, Arthur wanted me to give him some illegal drugs, you know, but of course I didn't want to, and then Arthur threatened me that if I didn't want to, he would tell me about my past..."

   "Your past?"

"...I used to be a doctor, but once, I treated a girl, but the girl disappeared after the treatment. Then this incident put me on the back burner, I lost my qualifications as a doctor, and had to I didn’t leave and went to other places, until twenty years later, I thought that things had passed for so long, and I should be fine, so I took this airship and planned to go back and have a look...I didn’t expect to meet Arthur..."

   Speaking of this, Dr. Rose looked at the photo with a complicated expression.

   "As for this photo, it was indeed taken when we were in the club before. As for why Arthur had this photo, I don't know..."

   "..."

  Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned. Indeed, it is not news that nobles take drugs, and this reason is justified.

  Of course, the premise is that this club is not the Silver Twilight Lodge, otherwise, he has to suspect that this is probably a well-planned murder, and the murderer is not one person, but a group of people!

"……let's go."

  After listening to Dr. Rose's justification, Duanmuhuai just glanced at her indifferently, and then looked away. At this moment Dot was standing beside Dr. Rose, grabbing her arm. And the female student of the master's college kept a distance from her, and Dr. Rose's face was also pale.

   Originally, it was just a formality investigation, but unexpectedly, more and more things were found out, and with more and more evidence, the truth of the case became more and more confusing. So Duanmuhuai quickly restrained his thoughts, left Arthur's room, and went to the last two rooms—the crew lounge and the crew bedroom. These two rooms are connected to the observation deck, and only the crew members of the ship are allowed to enter.

  Of course, I don't care about so much now.

   Duanmu Huai first came to the crew bedroom, where there are four bunk beds, which are very simple and simple, not as luxurious as the cabin—well, it is also normal.

   "Meow!"

However, when Duanmuhuai walked into the crew's bedroom, the black cat seemed to have discovered something again. With a soft cry, it jumped off Duanmuhuai's shoulder, landed on the ground, and then circled around a suitcase next to it. , then raised his head and looked at Duanmuhuai.

   "What an amazing kitten."

Seeing this scene, the female students in the master's college couldn't help feeling emotional. They followed Duanmuhuai all the way, and they also found that this black cat was very powerful. It was the evidence it found every time, and they didn't know that such a small cat How did the cat find it? Does it have the same sense of smell as a dog, so it can easily find something?

Duanmu Huai just laughed, just kidding, Ling Nu's investigative ability is better than real detectives, well, when he walked to the box, he saw that there was a lock on it, of course, for Duanmu Huai, this lock Locks are not a problem at all.

  I saw him stretch out his hand, grasp the top with his right hand, and the bottom of the lock with his left hand, and then twist it hard!

   "Click it!"

  Accompanied by a soft sound, the next moment everyone watched helplessly as the lock was directly broken by Duanmu Huai from the middle!

   "Hiss——!"

  Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but gasped and looked at Duanmu Huai in horror.

  That is a steel lock, in Duanmuhuai's hands it is almost the same as made of wood.

  How strong is this man?

Duanmuhuai naturally didn't care about the panic of the melon-eating crowd. He threw away the twisted lock and opened the box. Inside were basically some personal clothes and nothing particularly strange. No murder weapon either—well, if only there was a murder weapon.

"etc!"

  However, just as Duanmuhuai picked up a pocket watch, Dort stood up again.

   "It's Williams' pocket watch!"

"you sure?"

   "Of course, if you open the watch cover, there are still his initials inside!"

  Hearing Dort's swearing, Duanmu Huai also opened the pocket watch, and as expected, he found the abbreviation of W.F on the inside of the watch cover.

   "Did Williams say that he lost his pocket watch?"

   "No, when I left his room this morning, the pocket watch was still on the table."

   "That's interesting..."

  Duanmu Huai took out his pocket watch and closed the lid. Fortunately, there was a name on the box, so there was no need to bother him to investigate further.

   This is exactly the navigator Bart's box.

   Well, there is another name on the suspect's notebook.

   Duanmu Huai stared at the name on it for a moment, then looked away.

   "Okay, let's go back to the viewing platform. Next, it's time to find the murderer."
