The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 164: Another conjecture

"The Modern Age of the Mysterious (

After returning to the cabin, Ivan found Sean and said another conjecture about the case.

Under the dim electric light, in the shaking cabin, Evan lowered his voice and said, "Actually, there is a contradiction in this case...

"A plausible paradox: Before the second Vivienne came along, the case was more of an ordinary homicide.

"Things got weird almost instantly..."

Evan raised a finger: "Our inspiration is also keen among practitioners, but before the incident, we didn't notice any signs.

"That in itself is weird.

"We cannot forget these details because of the incident itself."

Listening to Ivan's narration, Sean also noticed something, frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"It may be a 'means'."

Moonlight got closer: "Murder...is a method? What kind of method?"

"The person who came back from the dead, the two corpses, the robbed emeralds connected, the number in the palm of the hand, the murderer who talks crazy..." Evan's pale blue eyes were cold and he slowly recounted, "In my eyes, all this Some, deliberately."

Sean took a breath and felt that Evan had lit up a blind spot in his thinking: "You mean, someone is using a weird atmosphere to cover up their true intentions?"

Evan nodded and said, "The huge puzzle will attract all the attention.

"What if it's a scam in itself?

"What if Vivien is indeed not involved in the mystery, as you and I perceive it, but is actually just a twin on a boat?

"What if the killer was just hypnotized?

"What if all this is being used to create a terrifying atmosphere?"

Sean felt his scalp go numb and nodded slowly.

He understood the starting point of Ivan's reasoning: before the incident, their perception of Vivian was correct.

If this is the case, the two murders do seem a bit deliberate and unnatural, as if deliberately trying to attract all the attention...

Ordinary homicides are faked into mysterious events.

"If that's the case, what is the purpose of the people behind the scenes?"

This is the core problem of this hypothesis.

To lure out the explorers on board?

To spread fear on the ship, prepare for some strange ritual?

Use amazing sins to cover up even greater sins?

...

If he thinks like this, Sean feels a little shudder.

Because this means that the real purpose of the people behind the scenes has not yet surfaced.

Thinking of the white-clothed girl walking by under the strange crescent moon, Sean felt a creepy feeling after a long absence.

He let out a breath: "We're tired too... don't think about it today, let's all rest.

Sean looked at Evan with a wry smile: "I hope your thinking is wrong, otherwise, the matter is not over at all.

"Actually, when I locked that necklace in the safe, I thought it was the right choice.

"I think that if you control the source of the weirdness, you can cut off the chain of weirdness...

"Maybe, it will be calm in the future."

Sean can only advocate such optimistic thinking.

Because he wants to make sure that his team members get a good night's sleep - whether it's safe or dangerous, a full energy is necessary.

Moonlight and Ivan both left the room a little tired.

Olivia, who had been sitting quietly beside her, seemed to sense Sean's unease, and said in a cold voice, "Reader, don't worry, just sleep well, I will always protect you."

"Thank you, Olivia." Sean sighed, took off his shoes and fell on the bed...

——

bang bang bang!

Sean woke up.

Outside the round porthole, the sea reflects the sun.

It's already daytime

bang bang bang!

Someone knocked on the door of the cabin, Sean responded and got up a little confused.

Opening the door, Kyle, who lives next door, stood outside.

He looked a little nervous, his eyes were red and his stubble was messy.

"Have you seen Sissi?"

That fat, eyewitness to the first murder. The events of last night quickly resurfaced in Sean's mind.

Rubbing his eyes, Sean said, "I fell asleep when I came back last night. I didn't see it. When did she go out?"

Kyle looked uneasy: "Last night she said she was in a bad mood and said she wanted to go out for a walk, so I accompany her to the stern for a while.

"After I got to the room, I entered the room, and she said she would stand outside for a while...

"Then I fell asleep. Woke up this morning to find she didn't seem to be back in her room to sleep!

"Then I just looked everywhere and couldn't find her!"

Sean frowned suspiciously, and comfortably said: "The incident yesterday may have caused her to be seriously stimulated, so her behavior will be a bit strange.

"Don't worry too much, maybe she just wants to be quiet. I'll tell my friends to help you find her together..."

Gone are the proud, stinky stockbrokers who asserted that the scouting industry was just a scam.

Instead, a nervous and restless helpless man shook Sean's hand gratefully: "Thank you! I... I'm going to find her, if you find her, let her be there. Wait for me in the room!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away in a hurry.

The eyewitness to the first murder was gone... Sean frowned, not a good sign.

He finished washing up in the small bathroom equipped with the room. As before, he placed Naia Shenyu's oblivion passive on Olivia's body. In this way, it not only added a hidden layer to Olivia, but also allowed Olivia to hide. Her "protector" won't get much attention.

Going out of the room, I called Yueguang and Ivan ~lightnovelpub.net~ who were chatting in the room to go to the restaurant together.

After breakfast, Sean plans to go to Detective Solomon and ask if there is any new situation or progress.

Passing by the deck of the bow, watching people who were not affected by the rumors playing on the deck, Sean stopped and took a breath of fresh sea breeze.

The morning sun rises slowly on the sea, there are no clouds in thousands of miles, it is an excellent weather.

After the emerald necklace was locked in the safe, there have been no strange incidents until now.

Sean saw Mrs. Sarah and Mr. Nash taking little Anna and playing with several other children in the distance.

Thinking of the mysterious and restrained necklace, Sean decided to explain to Detective Solomon well later, and after arriving in Lipson, he must let the professionals handle it.

"That might be an unobtrusive mysterious legacy..." Thinking of this, Sean planned to continue walking towards the bridge.

However, his footsteps stopped immediately.

Evan, who followed Sean, found that something was wrong with the captain: "What's the matter."

"Evan..." Sean didn't look back, as if trying to suppress some special emotions in his voice, "Your guess last night was wrong.

"This is not an ordinary case disguised as a supernatural case."

Thinking that Sean suddenly figured out what joint, Evan and Moonlight both took two steps forward and walked to Sean's side.

Turning to look at the captain, he saw that he was staring straight ahead.

Soon, Evan understood why the captain would assert that his guess last night was wrong.

In a deserted corner of the bow deck, Vivienne in a white dress was holding on to the railing, looking sideways at the front of the Bronze Giant, as if there was something worth seeing on the boundless ocean.

The emerald pendant on her chest reflects the sunlight and looks verdant.
