Chapter 131: Ninth inning

That flash of thought disappeared too far, and Lu Chu failed to seize it.
For the moment, I ca n’t remember it, but I do n’t even think about it. Lu Chu turned to the doctor and said,
Who discovered the detective was poisoned by the spicy stir-fried dishes?

Another doctor, who had been silent, said in a mute voice, "It's me."
Lu Chu heard the words, his eyes moved slightly, turned his head and looked at each other, and then said to the doctors, "Take us to see the corpses."
"Okay, come with me." The doctor nodded quickly and turned and walked towards the detective's place.
Lu Chuhe 7 followed him, while the Interpol and another doctor came last.
Before long, several people reached the corridor of the detective's room. Far away, Lu Chu saw the detective lying on the ground. His body was separated by a distance of one meter, and a few onlookers were standing scattered.
The onlookers saw the captain coming with several people, and immediately walked around to make way, and you asked me every word--
"Captain Shen, another life case has been filed. When can we return to the sea?"
"Yeah, yeah, every night I sleep, I can't wait to use my bed against the door ..."
"You can still sleep, I can't sleep anymore ..."
7 waved his hand, signaled everyone to calm down, and said: "The weather is bad, the navigation fails, and it is not safe to return to the voyage.
When the crowd calmed down, the doctor went on to say: "Please avoid it. We need to perform a more detailed autopsy on the body, and the scene may be bloody."
The passengers heard the words, hurriedly pushing and pulling each other, returned to their rooms, and closed the door.
The detective lived in the VIP area, which was in good condition, and the room was spacious. However, he had suddenly died before walking to his room to enjoy a moment of relaxation.
Lu Chu and others squatted down to see the body.
Suddenly Lu Chu thought of something, and said, "Speaking of which, no one has written a strip of cloth on the dead today."
The doctor guessed: "Maybe-nothing to say?"
As some people speculated that the case was developing, Ellie, who also lived in the VIP area, somehow heard the news, and happily came over in a small high heel.
Seeing this, Lu Chu wondered: "Ali, what are you doing here?"
Alice blinked and said in a playful tone: "I'm coming to Chu."
Lu Chu persuaded her: "We are reviewing the case, shall I return to the room first?"
"Don't," Ailie stared at the beautiful blue eyes of Xingzi, trying to reach up and hold Lu Chu's arm, but was blocked by 7 and had to stand in place and laugh, "Listen to me, Chu, I can help Busy. "
Interpol sneered: "What can you do for help, I'm afraid you don't even know what happened."
Ellie asked him obliquely: "Of course I know what happened. I just came to find Chu after hearing about it."
Interpol heard and said: "Then you talk about, what clues and opinions do you have?"
Ailie dialed her beautiful big wavy blond hair, exposed the small pear vortex on the side of her face, and said with a smile, "The detectives live in the VIP area, and we have spent a lot of money living here. The services are top-notch. People on the cruise ship will confirm the passenger's likes and dislikes and their physical condition in advance in order to provide the most detailed service. Am I right-- "
As she spoke, she turned to 7: "Our dear Captain."
7 Look indifferent: "Sincerely provide the most sincere service to our passengers."
Airie heard that a little weirdness was caught in her smile.
The doctor heard the words and guessed, "Is it the chef?"
Lu Chu thoughtfully: "Do not rule out this possibility. As a cruise chef, you must really understand the dining preferences and taboos of every VIP, so that they feel at home on a five-day cruise. The detective died from eating. No matter how you look at the spicy dishes that cover the taste of allergens, you can't get in touch with that chef. "
7 instructed the crew: "Go and call the chef at the VIP restaurant."
Soon, a slightly fat white chef was taken over by the crew. The chef was still wearing a pure white chef's uniform, and his short brown and slightly curly hair was stuffed into the chef's hat. Due to the hurriedness and eagerness, a few pinches of hair were exposed from the chefs hat.
The head chef came to the crowd, first bowed to 7 and said, "Captain Shen."
7 nodded: "Did we all have lunch for a few of us today?"
The chef replied, "Yes."
Lu Chu asked, "Did you pass through the hands of others?"
"Some procedures are done by assistants."
Lu Chu asked, "Do you know that detectives are allergic to something?"
"Know," the head chef nodded, "All the passengers' foods are on the books. As chefs, we dare not be careless in this regard."
The doctor was surprised and said, "Why do detectives die of allergies? Didn't you review the food after cooking?"
The chef nodded: "Yes, but the allergen is covered by the spicy taste, so I didn't notice the abnormality."
Lu Chu heard the words, his eyes became sharp, and his tone was firm: "You are lying."
The chef was taken aback and immediately defended: "I'm telling the truth, you are telling me to lie, without any reason!"
"The evidence is naturally there," Lu Chu stared straight at him, and said clearly. "First, we only said that the detective died of a food allergy, and did not say that he died because of what food he used. You can say he himself I ate something else alone instead of the allergies caused by the meals you made, but you directly and clearly stated the plate of spicy stir-fried dishes; secondly, for the chef, it is necessary to have an excellent taste , Most chefs can tell about 90% of the seasonings in food, not to mention the chefs hired on cruise ships of this class. "
The chef was persuaded by the cold sweat he said, but Lu Chu immediately looked at the silent doctor: "And the first one I mentioned above applies the same as a doctor. Without relevant testing equipment, You who can tell exactly why a detective died. "
"If I'm not mistaken," Lu Chu's eyes cleared, sweeping the chef and the dumb doctor, "You two of you are both ghosts."
Another doctor and criminal police heard the news terrifyingly.
The silent doctor admitted, obediently, allowing the crew to arrest themselves. The chef resisted twice and suddenly felt like he was intimidated. He no longer struggled and was bound.
In this way, they have arrested three ghosts-the woman in room 136, the doctor and the chef.
The Interpol was already sweaty: "On this cruise ship, anyone could be killed, anyone could be a miser, can we insist on returning to our return flight ..."
Another doctor thought of what the detective told him, "It's in this mountain alone," and he sweated coldly.
Similarly, when asked about the "big cat", the doctors and chefs who are "shy ghosts" are tight-lipped, but helplessly, they can only be temporarily locked together.
The Interpol sighed and crouched on the ground in frustration: "What now?"
Lu Chu said: "The murderer always kills and completes the crime in the early morning, when we are asleep. This time, I want to stay up all night, and stay asleep. I will wait for the rabbit and wait for the 'big cat' to appear.
The next two days Lu Chu spent two nights according to his plan.
However, Lu Chu's surprise was that he didn't fall asleep for two consecutive days, only occasionally taking a nap, crouching seriously, and the murderer hiding in the dark seemed to know, and he never shot again in the past two days. In the process of staying up all night, 7 was always with him. After two days, Lu Chu stayed up late and got a little bit embarrassed, but 7 looked at himself with no fatigue.
Putting Lu Chu like this, 7 frowns slightly, and feels sorry for him, so he hugged him horizontally, hugged him all the way back to the lounge, put him lightly on a soft bed, and covered him with a soft futon: Right. "
Really tired, Lu Chu closed his eyes tiredly, and then fell asleep.
The next day Lu Chu woke up and was told that four more deceased—the doctor, the chef, the woman in Room 136, and Alice had appeared.
The cause of death was suicide.
The death of the doctor, the chef, and the woman in Room 136 was foreseeable by Lu Chushang, but Alice's sudden suicide left him in a state of confusion.
Couldn't Ellie also be ... a ghost?
As a result, there are more and more doubts: why someone will die as soon as they fall asleep; why the dead crew members did not even smell the "ghost"; Ms. He looked at who among them ...
Suddenly, Lu Chuxuan recalled that 7 had said that he would not allow the second cat to appear next to the big cat.
Lu Chu remembered that when the "Ms. He" jumped into the sea to commit suicide, she jumped from her room to the deck on the side of the ship, and then dragged her injured body into the sea.
At that time, in order to save time, Lu Chu had wanted to jump directly from the window, but was stopped by 7, just waved a few crew members to stop her, but eventually made her successfully jump into the sea and commit suicide—by the height of the ship at that time, Both he and 7 can jump without hesitation, and at least a few abrasions can successfully prevent Ms. He's suicide.
As a result, Lu Chu had to apply the clues and events now known to 7 to think deeply.
If you think about it, the reason why the deceased person ca n’t smell the
big cat
seems to have been explained—because 7 and himself are sticking together all the time, even if he is stained with other people ’s scent, he will be caught by Lu Chu Covered by your own breath. And when they were at the scene of the crime, because 7 was beside the corpse, the breath left on the victim's body would be confused by his own existence ...
wrong.
Totally wrong.
Lu Chu knows clearly that 7 will not conceal his true identity from himself. In a previous round, as the "serial murderer", 7 still did not shy away and directly told Lu Chu's identity.
This time, Lu Chu still believed that 7 did not conceal his identity.
7 once told him that from life to death, do not trust anyone, not even yourself, but you can trust him.
and many more.
Don't you even believe in yourself?
