The Modern Age of the Mysterious

"Who, who did it?"

Vivien said goodbye to her group and walked towards her cabin first. It was only ten minutes away from now, and the murderer should be nearby.

Sean couldn't care too much, the spiritual essence spread out, searching for clues...

There is no trace of the use of spiritual power, no one who fled in a hurry, no whereabouts of the emerald necklace...

He got nothing.

Soon, the deputy captain and the three crew members in charge of security arrived at the scene, accompanied by a slightly fat man with a mustache.

Even when he saw the corpse, the man had a calm expression, and he was not shocked. He was one of the quietest people around.

The people in the nearby cabins all gathered, and more and more passengers were watching.

The mustache man wearing a dark brown fedora hat glanced at the co-captain with a complicated expression, and announced, "There is no education officer accompanying this ship. We can hand over the matter of finding out the cause of death and the murderer to the crew members. To be done.

"I'm a detective named Solomon. Friends of Continental may have heard my name..."

"Please don't worry," Solomon's voice was calm and seemed to have the power to soothe people's hearts, "I will assist the crew to find out the truth and ensure everyone's safety.

He looked around at the frightened and confused people, and continued: "However, I have one request.

"The voyage of the Bronze Giant is nearly halfway, and even if it returns now, it will not be able to let you land immediately.

"In order not to cause more panic on the ship, I hope that all the passengers who saw this scene tonight can keep everything you see as a secret in their hearts."

Solomon naturally knew that it was impossible to stop the gossip, but he had to say this: "In addition, I will arrange a temporary work place on the bridge. If you have any clues, you may come to the bridge and let me know."

At this moment, Sissi's boyfriend Kyle ran over, over the corpse, and hugged the first witness who was shivering on the ground.

"Everyone, please go back to your cabin and lock the door," the deputy captain wearing a white navy cap spoke, "Just leave it to us here."

The crowd gradually dispersed. Detective Solomon looked at Sean and his party. He came over and said bluntly, "Do you know the dead?"

Some dazed moonlight nodded with a sad expression on her face: "I met on the boat, a very good little girl..."

Solomon's eyes swiveled around Sean and his group. He seemed to understand something and asked sincerely, "Are you willing to help me?"

A detective's intuition is very keen. He could feel that among the panicked crowd, Sean and others were relatively calm - he needed help, and the person in front of him was just right.

Sean thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

Looking at Vivian's pale face, Sean sighed deeply in his heart.

He didn't want his premonition of disaster to come true.

Now it is not only fulfilled, but also on Vivian.

This can't help but make him a little sad, irritable and angry.

After asking witnesses to the murder to stay at the scene and let the unrelated people go away, Solomon began to examine the body.

The detective pointed to the sharp blade on Vivian's chest and asked a young crew member, "Have you seen this knife?"

After the identification of the young man, it can be confirmed that it is a boning knife from the restaurant.

"The murderer didn't bring his own weapon, but stole the knife in the restaurant..." Detective Solomon whispered, skillfully examining the marks on the body.

"The deceased looked terrified, he should have witnessed the face of the perpetrator.

"I have bruises on my wrist, and I went through a fight before I died - but there are not many bruises, and there was not too much fighting between the fight and the fatal blow..."

Then, the detective gently opened Vivian's two clenched fists.

"What is this?" Solomon's tone was obviously puzzled.

The co-captain and Sean both leaned over.

In the heart of the deceased's slender left hand, there was a mark like a corpse spot.

The mark looks like the number "5" and the capital letter "S".

"It doesn't look like a birthmark..." Solomon said.

Yueguang frowned and said, "This mark should not have existed during his lifetime."

Vivian didn't have the habit of wearing gloves. If she had such an obvious mark before her death, the keen-eyed moonlight would definitely find it.

"It was left by the murderer?" Solomon scrutinized the strange mark repeatedly, "However, how can such a mark be left?"

After examining the remains, Solomon took Kyle and Sissy into a nearby cabin, and began to question in the presence of Sean and the crew members.

Sissy's face was covered with tears, and she kept sobbing as she recalled what had just happened.

After dinner, she felt that she was too full and wanted to take a walk to promote digestion, so she walked to the deck alone.

On the way back to her cabin from the deck, she saw two dark shadows ahead, and they seemed to be arguing.

One of the shadows pushed the other shadow, tore off something, and ran away.

When Qian Qian approached, she saw Vivian fell to the ground and let out her last breaths.

Sissi let out a scream at that moment.

"What was it torn off?" Solomon frowned.

Sean said: "Before Vivian wore a necklace with emeralds, and the emeralds were about the size of a pigeon egg."

At this time, there was no trace of the necklace on Vivian's body or around the scene of the incident.

The detective pondered: "Seeing the money?"

Judging from the appearance and condition, the emerald necklace is not a priceless treasure, and the market price should be around NZ$1,000.

Not expensive diamond jewelry, who would kill someone on this ship for a piece of jewelry worth a thousand yuan?

Sean frowned: "It's not difficult to steal the necklace from Vivian. The other party only has to cover up and rob and flee. With the dim environment, Vivian not only can't resist, but I'm afraid he won't be able to identify the robbery afterwards. bandit……

"Could it be a deliberate murder, and then fake it to get rich?"

Detective Solomon turned his head to look at Sean, his eyes flashed with approval: "It's possible."

There were no police personnel at the scene, and no one had the right to pull the murder weapon from the body. The detective could only use lights and magnifying glasses to observe the fingerprints on the boning knife by approaching the body.

Finding the murderer through fingerprints, seeing this inefficient method, Sean took two steps back and walked to Evan's side: "Can I use the 'Cage of Backtracking'?"

Evan shook his head: "The deceased must leave strong resentment - I don't feel resentment here, and I can't see anything in the cage of retrospect..."

You can't use mysterious means to get clues, which is obviously beyond the professional scope of Sean's team.

Sean and the others could only accompany Detective Solomon and listen to his questions.

After questioning the people nearby and checking Vivian's luggage, Solomon closed the door.

At this time, Vivian's body had been moved to her cabin. Only the co-captain and Sean and their men were left in the cabin.

Detective Solomon said: "Gentlemen, according to the clues we have, it is still difficult to locate the murderer. However, before that, we need to determine a problem..."

The detective with the mustache narrowed his eyes: "We need to determine whether this is an ordinary murder case or a mysterious case.

"If it is an ordinary criminal case, then I may be able to find some clues by relying on my own strength.

"If it's a mystery..." The detective looked at Evan in Sean's team, "I'm afraid I need help from people in related industries."

Sean also looked at Evan.

Before the journey begins, Sean has set a basic "playing strategy". Sean and Moonlight must try to hide their quest identities as much as possible in order to ensure that the purpose of their team's trip to Ocean City is concealed.

However, the mystery surrounding them is sometimes difficult to hide through disguise.

So, they simply let Evan play an attention-grabbing role—a scout who ostensibly is a piano apprentice, but can be detected by a discerning eye.

Those who hire "explorers" are definitely not "explorers".

With Ivan here, Sean and Moonlight can better hide their identity as explorers.

After all, a team of three explorers and an android attracts all the attention wherever they go...

Obviously, the shrewd detective saw through the role he intended to set up, and he hoped to get the help of the explorer Ivan.

After understanding the detective's hint, including the deputy captain, several crew members looked at Evan with some surprise and a little fear - ordinary people need a finder when facing a crisis, but they are also afraid to accompany a finder horrific events.

Evan nodded politely: "No problem, Mr. Solomon, I will assist you as a mysterious advisor."

Solomon nodded: "As the investigation deepens, the nature of this case will gradually emerge - however, don't hope that the whole truth will be revealed in a short period of time.

"If you try to explore with such an idea, it will only make everyone exhausted...

The detective looked at his watch, and the hands showed that it was already midnight.

"Gentlemen, this is the end of tonight's investigation." He pointed to Vivian, who was still lying on the ground, "I suggest placing the lady's body in a place away from the crowd..."

After leaving the cabin, the group carried Vivian's body to an empty refrigerator on the fourth floor.

The refrigerating room where the frozen meat products are usually placed is empty at this moment. At the request of the detective, the temperature of the refrigerating room is set at about 5 degrees Celsius.

"This will ensure that the body will not rot due to the wet weather at sea, and that the clues on the body will not be seriously damaged due to rapid freezing..." Solomon explained, "After all, after landing, the body will be handed over to Lipson. The police are investigating..."

At this moment, Sean suddenly realized one thing: most detectives in real life are not as dramatic as in novels when faced with emergencies. Uncover the hidden murderer.

They are more like a seasoned professional with a lot of experience.

As long as he can appease the public, protect the evidence, and cooperate with the police to investigate afterwards, he is considered an excellent detective...

"But..." Sean remembered Arthur Merlin who looked up from the hill of piles of information, "Maybe some people are not born into the category of 'real life'."

Thinking like this, he seems to have forgotten his evil deeds.

After the corpse was placed and the guarding of the corpse was arranged, Solomon moved to a cabin next to the bridge as a temporary living and working place.

"If you have any new clues and progress, you can come here to find me." After saying this, the detective who had been busy for several hours closed the cabin door a little tiredly, and everyone returned to their cabins.

After returning to cabin 306, Sean called Moonlight and Evan into the cabin to discuss Vivian's death.

Both Sean and Ivan have very keen inspirations. When they met Vivian before, they didn't feel any abnormality or fluctuations in spiritual power.

This is enough to prove that Vivian is not a scout, and she is not involved in troubles involving supernatural beings.

In addition, the crime scene is also very consistent with the characteristics of ordinary cases - no resentment, no residual spiritual power, no ghosts...

These indications all point in one direction: this murder has nothing to do with supernatural beings.

However, the only strange thing was the strange trace that appeared on the palm of Vivian's left hand.

That weird corpse spot that looks like the number "5" and the letter "S".

It's just this strangeness that puts a question mark on the whole case:

"Is this an ordinary murder case, or is it a case involving supernatural beings?"

Sean has no clue for now.

According to the clues they have now, the few people couldn't discuss anything, so they decided to rest first.

After leaving Sean's cabin, Evan entered the room alone, while the pianist was smoking a cigarette while leaning on the railing, looking out into the darkness, he could only see the undulating sea.

Vivian's death seems to have had some psychological impact on Moonlight.

Through the round porthole on the hatch, Sean saw the back of the moonlight smoking.

Thinking of Moonlight carrying the luggage for Vivian, and the scene where Vivian asked him for music knowledge...

"He must be a little sad..." Sean sighed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ turned around and said to Olivia, wanting to go out to comfort his old friend.

Sean opened the hatch and walked out. He turned his head and found that the moonlight was facing him. The smoke in his hand was burning quietly, and the smoke was torn to pieces by the wind.

The pianist now stared in one direction in a daze - a complex expression of confusion, horror and disbelief on his face.

At this moment, the cloudy sky seemed to be turned into another dark ocean, and the dark clouds surging due to the wind in the high sky were like waves in the sky.

Black waves surged in the sky, and occasionally a strange crescent moon appeared. Under the faint moonlight, Xiao En followed the direction the pianist was facing and saw a girl walking gracefully on the porthole.

She walked alone with her hands behind her back, as if she was just taking a peaceful walk after waking up.

After seeing the girl's clothes and face clearly, Sean's shock was comparable to that of the moonlight.

The girl was wearing a white dress, the skirt was as white as snow, without any stains.

She wore the emerald necklace on her chest, and the expression on her face was beautiful and peaceful.

Vivian walked on the porthole ahead, like a phantom in a dream.
