When Duanmuhuai returned to the viewing platform again, other people also raised their heads and looked at him with uneasy eyes.
"How's it going? Mr. Detective, have you found the murderer?"
Looking at Duanmu Huai, the male student who had greeted him before hurriedly asked, but after hearing his inquiry, the few people following Duanmu Huai showed very complicated expressions. At first, they thought that as long as
The murderer can be identified by finding enough evidence or clues. As a result... the more clues are found, the more difficult it is to identify the murderer.
"Okay, now let me say a few words."
Duanmuhuai knocked on the table to signal everyone to look at him, then he narrowed his eyes and stared at the other people in front of him.
At present, the only certain characteristics of the prisoner are that he smokes. Other than that, there is basically no conclusive evidence. However, Duanmuhuai is not a detective like Conan or Sherlock Holmes who can convince people with reason.
He is better at convincing people with reason.
"After searching, I found some interesting clues..."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai placed the photo fragments he had taken from Arthur's room on the table, and then looked at Arthur.
"So, Mr. Arthur, do you have anything to explain about this photo? It's not just Dr. Rose, but also the murdered Mr. Williams and Miss Ethel. However, this photo is in your
The room was torn to pieces, do you have anything to defend against this?"
"I have nothing to say."
Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Arthur still had the same arrogant attitude. Of course, when he saw Duanmuhuai, he restrained himself slightly.
"This is a photo passed down from my family. I have heard my family talk about Dr. Rose before. Indeed, I asked Dr. Rose to provide me with some medicine, but if you want to accuse me of murder because of this,
If so, that’s another matter.”
"Huh? I'm in this photo too?"
At this time, the maid Ethel also came over in surprise and looked at the photo carefully.
"Ah, this may be my mother. I remember she said before that she also worked as a maid..."
"All right."
Duanmuhuai temporarily put the photo aside, and then looked at Fred.
"Mr. Fred, you should understand what we want to ask you. In your room, we found a large number of magic circles similar to those at the crime scene. What explanation do you have for this?"
"Of course I drew it."
Fred didn't seem surprised by Duanmuhuai's inquiry, and he quickly spoke.
"I also know some occultism, so I can naturally see that that evil and weird magic circle will definitely bring some kind of terrible nightmare. Therefore, in order to protect myself, I will also draw some protective magic in my cabin.
Formation to protect my safety!"
Well, yes, the reason is very good.
Duanmuhuai glanced at him, withdrew his gaze, and then focused on the last suspect.
"Mr. Bart."
He signaled the navigator Bart to come to him, then took out the pocket watch from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"I would be very grateful if you could explain to me why the victim's pocket watch is in your box."
"you………………!"
Seeing this pocket watch, navigator Bart immediately blushed. He stared at Duanmuhuai with wide eyes.
"I, I don't know what you are talking about..."
"It's useless to argue, Mr. Bart. So many people saw that I took this pocket watch out of your box, so...you'd better be like them and be able to give me an explanation."
.”
Duanmuhuai pouted, but his eyes were still looking at the navigator in front of him. The latter gritted his teeth under Duanmuhuai's gaze and finally lowered his head.
"Okay, I said... I said...! Damn it, I admit it, I am a thief. I will always go to the guests' rooms to steal some small things after they leave the cabin, so I can take our airship.
They are all rich people, they don't care about the loss of a little gadget! It was the same this time, I saw Mr. Williams left his room and went to the smoking room, and then his cabin door was not locked,
So I took the opportunity to go in and saw that the pocket watch on the bedside table was very valuable, so I stole it and ran away in a hurry. Then not long after, I heard someone calling for help. Only then did I know that Mr. Williams
He was killed! I stole his pocket watch, but I definitely did not kill anyone!"
"etc."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.
"Did you see Mr. Williams go to the smoking room?"
"Yes."
"So was he alone at the time? What was his mental state?"
"this…………………"
Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, navigator Bart recalled for a while.
"I'm not sure he is a person, but I don't know his mental state because I only saw the back but not the front."
"All right."
After listening to Bart's explanation, Duanmuhuai nodded.
"The facts are very clear. The murderer is..."
"Who is the murderer?"
Hearing this, everyone present also concentrated their attention and stared at Duanmu Huai. Then under everyone's gaze, Duanmu Huai... spread his hands.
"It doesn't matter who it is."
"…………………Why???"
I have to say that everyone was stunned when they heard Duanmuhuai's unexpected answer.
"what are you saying?"
"You only focus on thinking about who is the murderer, but you ignore a very simple thing."
Duanmu Huai leaned back on the sofa, and the velvet sofa squeaked and deformed under the pressure of his huge body.
"To be honest, the crime itself is not complicated, it is very simple, and there are traces left at the crime scene. For example, those magic circles... the prisoner painted them with his fingers, so as long as we call the police after arriving at the destination, the police will only need to extract the magic circles...
If you compare his fingerprints with everyone else, it will be clear who the culprit is."
"Then why don't we do this?"
Hearing this, a student from Shuo College shouted, while Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.
"It's very simple, we don't have the corresponding equipment, and comparing fingerprints itself is a very professional thing, and not just anyone can do it. So do you understand?"
"?????"
Facing Duanmu Huai's words, everyone was still confused, but looking at their appearance, Duanmu Huai sighed helplessly.
"The prisoner's actions were rough, and he destroyed the radio and cut off our communication with the outside world. The answer will come out if you think about it - the prisoner is not afraid of his true identity being exposed at all, because in the prisoner's plan, all of us will
Die here..."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the person next to him.
"Are you right? Dr. Rose?"
"Why-----?!"
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads in surprise and looked at Rose, the doctor of "Full Moon and Stars". The latter trembled slightly under Duanmu Huai's gaze, and then took a step back.
"What are you talking about? I've been with you all this time, why am I a prisoner! Do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence, of course I am......"
However, before Duanmu Huai finished speaking, Dr. Rose suddenly screamed, and the next moment she suddenly jumped up with movements unimaginable by humans, lying on the ceiling like a spider, glaring at everyone fiercely.
.
Duanmu Huai finished his words calmly.
"...Of course I don't have any evidence. In fact, I just wanted to deceive you. But now, if you take the initiative to expose it, then I don't need to make any more reasoning."
"………………"
Hearing this, Dr. Rose's expression suddenly turned as if she had eaten shit. She glared at Duanmuhuai fiercely and gritted her teeth.
"Why do you doubt me?"
"Oh, actually the reason is very simple, that photo."
Duanmu Huai pointed at the photo.
"photo?"
