Chapter 129: Ninth inning

Several more hours were spent looking at the bodies and rooms of the victim's couple, but no other clues were found.
Except for the corpse that was twisted into a strange shape and the cloth strips that had been written in the neck of the corpse, the scene of the crime scene was very clean, very tidy, and there were no signs of struggle.
Lu Chu was curious, how did the murderous big cat kill these people silently in pain?
Because there were no new discoveries or new breakthroughs in the case, and it was time for lunch at noon, the crowd had to temporarily dissolve and go for a meal first, leaving a few crew members to guard the scene of the case.
Since the death of Ms. He, several people entered the scene of the crime scene to investigate again, and during their meal, Lu Chu has been observing everyone who is investigating the incident with him.
He affirmed that the person Ms. He was looking at at the time must be the key to this case.
However, everyone's performance was extremely normal and there was no doubt, which made Lu Chu unable to investigate further.
Seeing that Lu Chu had been in a state of discomfort during the meal, his mind was chaotic, and his brows were full of sorrow. 7 He added a piece of lean meat to his bowl, and then squeezed his soft earlobe with his hands.
Lu Chu looked back immediately, looked up to 7, clear eyes.
7 Hooked his lips, and squeezed his earlobe again gently, then said: "Eat first, there will always be clues."
Lu Chu touched his pinched earlobe and nodded and smiled, "I obey Captain Shen, and I will concentrate on eating immediately."
7 Hooked his lips and added some dishes for him.
After eating, Lu Chu and others went to visit and inquire about the passengers who lived near the victim's couple, and finally came to the conclusion that no one heard a strange noise in the early morning.
It was the two people who stayed up all night playing mahjong with the victim's couple who gave some clues.
The two people said that when they played mahjong with each other at home, the victim accidentally mentioned that his sister often went to their husband's room in the early morning these two days, saying that he was afraid to live alone in a room. . She also explained that she often passed in the early morning because she was afraid of affecting the normal night life of their husband and wife.
Lu Chu heard the words and nodded slightly.
This message more strongly indicates that the previous testimony of the victim's sister is false, but they have already locked Ms. He as a suspect and the interrogation has ended. Ms. He has also committed suicide in fear. This seems to be very useful. The information is invalidated.
During this period, passengers came to ask about the progress of the case; many people kept asking whether the navigation was repaired and when will they be able to return home to land.
All passengers were worried, fearing that the next person to be killed silently would be themselves.
However, according to the basic laws of horror movies, navigation at this time is bound to be bad. Although they are not acting in horror movies, they are in the "rules" that are more fun than horror movies. This is a game. What is the development of the "bureau"? It depends on the consciousness of "rules".
Therefore, the passengers on the cruise ship are destined to be disappointed.
At dinner on this day, everyone seemed to have made an appointment. At the same time, they appeared at the restaurant and ran out of food.
Lu Chu went to the restaurant in the ordinary cabin to check, and found that it was the same scene.
After eating in a hurry, the crowds quickly returned to their rooms, shut the door tightly, and avoided each other.
Lu Chu saw this and said to 7: "It seems that no one should be killed for the time being tonight."
"Maybe." 7 said, "Don't worry too much, just wait for the boat to reach the bridge."
Lu Chu nodded: "Yes."
That night, Lu Chu was still sleeping in Room 7.
No matter what happens during the day, as long as 7 is around, it must be a good night's sleep.
On the second day, the weather was calm and no one was killed.
Although it was expected, Lu Chu was not relieved because the tranquility before the storm was often the most depressing and terrifying.
Today, many passengers still come to ask if they can return to the flight. After receiving a negative answer, their expressions are immediately disappointed, and they hide in their rooms again.
On the other side, the crew responsible for cargo hold came to look for 7.
7 looked at him: "What happened?"
The crew reported to 7: "Captain, because the cruise ship has limited cargo space and our original plan was for a five-day cruise. We prepared food for about ten days. The cruise just started In order to provide you with the best cruise trip, our restaurant is self-service, especially in the VIP area. The supply of food is far greater than the consumption, which leads to the rapid consumption of food. Now if we do not return to the sea, we will try , Our food can only support it for eleven days. "
Lu Chu heard the words, and immediately asked the crew member, "Is '11 days' the longest?"
The crew responded: "Conservative estimates."
Lu Chu pondered that, in the case of insufficient food, the return flight was imminent.
However, there is no navigation, and now it is cloudy day and day, and even the sun cannot be seen, and it is impossible to determine the direction on the endless vast sea. If you venture away, you are likely to go in the wrong direction, go deeper into the ocean, and risk dangerous things like hitting the reef.
7 Naturally thought of this, and his voice was calm and calm, and he commanded the crew member: "Well, I know. You go to the broadcast room, tell the passengers on board the news, and tell everyone to save food, we will solve it as soon as possible Navigation problem. Three days later, even if navigation and other detection instruments are still unavailable, and the clouds are still dispersed, we will set sail and try to find a return route based on the experience of old sailors. "
"Yes, Captain!" The crew ordered to retreat.
After a while, the broadcasting room rang through every room and every corner of the cruise ship.
Because of this sudden bad news, even if no homicide occurred, the fear of passengers on the cruise ship has risen to a higher level. For a time, people were heartbroken. Without the laughter and laughter that Lu Chu saw at the beginning, singing and dancing leveled up. All the extravagance and luxury have faded away. This luxurious cruise ship originally set off for relaxation and pleasure seems to have become a ghost castle in this way, quiet and quiet.
The several criminal police officers, doctors and detectives came to Captain Shen and Lu Chu together to exchange experiences and guesses with each other.
In the afternoon, Aly held Bilder to meet Lu Chu, grabbed Lu Chu's arm, and asked him why he hadn't returned to his room. She couldn't find him.
Lu Chu persuaded her to coax her back.
7 has been reluctant to kill, and waited for Alice to leave before she embraced Lu Chu and said, "You stay away from her."
Regarding Alice's always sticking to her behavior, Lu Chu herself was very helpless: "I've been close to her, why, jealous?"
7 Lightly biting Lu Chu's earlobe, without concealing, "Well, jealous."
Lu Chu had originally wanted to play tricks on 7, but was completely frustrated by the straightforwardness of 7.
Tonight, Lu Chu slept in the captain's lounge of 7 again. In the name of jealous, 7 pressed him on the bed and kissed him all over. Lu Chu, who kissed him, was covered with thin powder. 7 He had a pain in that part of his abdomen, but did nothing to Lu Chu, but hugged him to sleep together.
As soon as he woke up, Lu Chu found himself in the arms of 7.
Lu Chu looked up and saw that 7 was looking down at him, and the two looked at each other. In the next second, Lu Chu was sealed by his lips and snatched his breath.
The lips and teeth touch, and the numbness is transmitted to the brain.
For a long time, 7 let Lu Chu pass, watching Lu Chu lie in his arms with a slightly chaotic atmosphere, a gentle look of water and faintness, and his heart was soft.
The two hugged each other for a while, looked at the time, and got up in clothes, ready to eat early.
However, as soon as the two arrived at the restaurant, they heard a crew member running towards them and stopped panting breathlessly, and then panicked, "Captain, when I came out in the morning, I heard a pungent smell coming from the two rooms next door. Bloody, the room was locked from the inside, and we had to smash open the door, only to see ... saw eight crew members in two rooms, all killed! "
The others present heard that they all took a sigh of cold air and widened their eyes in shock.
Just then, two more women ran over: "Captain Shen, there is a bleeding under the door of the room next door to us. Everyone doesn't know what to do. Go and see!"
7 asked: "Have you hit the door?"
The woman shook her head: "Not yet, we girls can't hit each other. Several men say they dare not hit the door!"
7 turned around and called several crew members to help hit the door.
Soon, several passengers came over and told them that something had happened next door. 7 immediately sent the crew to inspect each room to see how many people were killed.
After a day of tranquility, it turned out to be a more violent storm. After some confusion, it was confirmed that the death toll was eight crew members and thirteen passengers.
To Lu Chu's surprise, one of the dead was a criminal police officer investigating with him-the criminal police officer who Lu Chu said neutralized the woman in room 136. The policeman's death was as weird as the previous murders. His upper and lower lips and the ten fingers of his hands were cut off, and they were neatly arranged on the blood-stained red bed. His body was thrown at random on the ground, curled up into pieces, and looked extremely distressed when he died.
Several other criminal police doctors who assisted in the investigation immediately rushed to investigate the scene of the crime with Lu Chu.
Unexpectedly, this time, through the determination of the breath, the murderer who killed the criminal policeman was quickly found-the woman in Room 136 that Lu Chu said had a relationship with the criminal policeman.
The woman always knocked on Mr. Interpol's door for fearful reasons at night, after which the two of them had a relationship and became closer and ambiguous with each other. Every night, either the woman goes to the criminal police or the criminal police goes to the women. The two have always maintained this relationship. As a result, the criminal police may have said nothing to the woman in room 136.
It can be seen that the temptations of miser are not necessarily close relatives, but also people who trust them.
Because of trust, you obey, and you have nothing to guard against.
