Chapter 514 The stupid mortal
When Duanmuhuai returned to the observation deck again, the others also raised their heads and looked at him with uneasy eyes.
"How is it? Mr. Detective, have you found the murderer?"
Looking at Duanmu Huai, the male student who had greeted him before hurriedly asked, but when he heard his inquiry, the few people following Duanmu Huai showed very complicated expressions. At first they also felt that as long as they found enough evidence or clues, they could determine the murderer. As a result... the more and more clues were found, the more the prisoners were unable to determine.
"Okay, now I''ll say a few words."
Duanmuhuai knocked on the table and signaled everyone to look at him. Then he narrowed his eyes and stared at the others in front of him.
The only thing that can be confirmed among the characteristics of the prisoner is that he smokes. Apart from that, there is basically no evidence to be determined. However, Duanmu Huai was not originally a detective who convinced people with reason like Conan or Sherlock Holmes.
He is better at convinced by reason.
"After searching, I found some interesting clues..."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai placed the fragments of the photo he had obtained from Arthur''s room on the table and looked at Arthur.
"So, Mr. Arthur, do you have anything to explain about this photo? It''s not just Dr. Rose, but also the victims of Mr. Williams and Miss Ethel. However, this photo was torn apart in your room. Do you have anything to justify this?"
"I have nothing to say."
Faced with Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, Arthur still had the arrogant attitude. Of course, when he saw Duanmu Huai, he still restrained a little.
"This is a photo passed down from my family. I have heard from my family about Dr. Rose before. Indeed, I asked Dr. Rose to provide me with some medicine, but if I want to accuse me of killing, that''s another matter."
"Hey? Am I on this photo, too?"
At this time, the maid Essel also walked over in surprise and looked at the photo carefully.
"Ah, this may be my mother. I remember she said before that she had been a maid, too..."
"All right."
Duanmu Huai 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 in the crime scene. What are your explanations for this?"
"Of course I drew it."
Fred seemed not surprised at Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, and he quickly spoke.
"I also understand some mystery, and naturally I can see that the evil and weird magic array will definitely bring some terrible nightmare. So, in order to protect myself, I will also draw some guardian magic arrays in my cabin to protect my safety!"
Well, it''s good, there are plenty of reasons.
Duanmu Huai glanced at him, withdrew his gaze, and then stared at the last suspect.
“Mr. Bart.”
He signaled the navigator Bart to come to him, then took out his pocket watch from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"If you can explain to me why the victim''s pocket watch is in your box, I would be very grateful."
"you………!"
Seeing this pocket watch, the navigator Bart suddenly turned red. He widened his eyes and looked at Duanmu Huai.
"I, I don''t know what you are talking about..."
"It''s useless to argue, Mr. Bart, so many people have seen that I took out this pocket watch from your box, so... you''d better be like them and be able to give me an explanation."
Duanmu Huai curled his lips, but his eyes were still looking at the navigator in front of him. The latter gritted his teeth under Duanmu Huai''s eyes, and finally lowered his head.
"Well, I said... I said...! Damn, I admit that I am a thief. I always go to their room to steal some small things after the guests leave the cabin. The rich people on our airship are all rich people. They don''t care about the loss of gadgets! This time the same is true. I saw Mr. Williams leave his room and go to the smoking room, and his cabin door is not locked yet, so I took the opportunity to go in and see that the pocket watch on the bedside table is very valuable, so I stole it, and then ran away in a hurry. Not long after, I heard someone shouting for help, and I realized that Mr. Williams was killed! I stole his pocket watch, but I absolutely 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 that time? What was his mental state?"
"this…………"
Facing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, Navigator Bart recalled for a while.
"I''m not sure, he is alone, 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 defense, Duanmu Huai nodded.
"The facts are already very clear, the murderer is..."
"That''s the murderer?"
Hearing this, everyone present also concentrated on their energy and stared at Duanmuhuai. Then, under the gaze of everyone, Duanmuhuai... spread out 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 talking about?"
"You are just concerned about who the murderer is, but you ignore a very simple thing."
Duanmuhuai leaned back on the sofa, and the velvet sofa pressed by his huge body was slightly deformed.
"To be honest, the crime itself is not complicated, it is very simple, and there are traces left on the crime scene. For example, those magic circles... the prisoners painted with their fingers, so as long as we call the police after we arrive at the destination, the police will extract the fingerprints on it and compare them with everyone, and it will be clear who the prisoner is."
"Then why don''t we do this?"
Hearing this, a student from Master''s College shouted, and Duanmuhuai shrugged. "It''s very simple. We don''t have the corresponding equipment, and comparing fingerprints itself is a very professional thing, not something that anyone can do. So do you understand?"
“???????”
Facing Duanmu Huai''s words, everyone was still confused, and looking at their appearance, Duanmu Huai sighed helplessly.
"The prisoner''s actions are rough, and it destroys the radio and cuts off our contact with the outside world. Then just think about the answer and the answer comes out - the prisoner is not afraid of his true body being exposed, because in the prisoner''s plan, all of us will die here..."
Speaking of 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 the doctor of "The Full Moon Star". 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 the time. Why am I a criminal? Do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence, of course I am..."
However, before Duanmu Huai finished speaking, Dr. Rose suddenly screamed, and then the next moment she suddenly jumped up with an action that humans could not imagine, lying on the ceiling like a spider, staring at everyone fiercely.
Duanmu Huai finished his words lightly.
"... Of course I don''t have the evidence. In fact, I just want to cheat you, but now that you have to expose it, I don''t think I have to make any more reasoning."
“…………”
Hearing this, Dr. Rose''s expression suddenly became like she had eaten shit. She stared at Duanmuhuai fiercely and gritted her teeth.
"Why do you doubt me?"
"Oh, the reason is actually very simple, that photo."
Duanmu Huai pointed to the photo.
"photo?"
"That''s right, that''s a photo from twenty years ago, but you may not have noticed that you are almost exactly the same as you are now. At least Miss Essel also gave me a maid in the photo, which may be her mother''s answer, but to you, there seems to be nothing unusual in this photo itself, that is, you are completely used to appearing in front of everyone in this way."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at Dr. Rose with a smile.
"And you may not have found out. I did not ask you what the relationship between you and Mr. Arthur. You can clearly say that you don''t know, but you have to take the initiative to say that he threatens to extort you to prescribe banned drugs for him. So you are deliberately misleading everyone into a blind spot, that is, when a person commits a case, he will not commit another case. As long as you are a criminal suspect in a blackmail case, the suspect of becoming a murderer will be reduced... Of course, you can''t deceive the police, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people."
Speaking here, Duanmu Huai glanced at Arthur.
"As for Mr. Arthur... well, I have to say, your double acts are good."
"Mr. Detective, do you mean, is Mr. Arthur also a criminal?"
"Of course, he is an accomplice, and Dr. Rose is the main culprit. The whole process was carefully designed by both of them."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai''s eyes became serious when he looked at the two.
"So...if I guess correctly, you are all from Yinmu''s cottage."
"It''s a pity, you guys know too late, you idiots!"
With a howl, Dr. Rose turned over and landed beside Arthur, who tidied up his clothes and looked at everyone proudly. Dr. Rose, who was beside him, was as thin and long as a spider. Even her face gradually began to crack. Her jaw split in half, revealing her sharp teeth and tongue inside.
Then, Rose looked at the stunned and frightened people, and opened her **** mouth and roared.
"Nayaratotip is coming back! And all of you will be sacrificed and become its offering!"
As he screamed, Doctor Rose, who had changed into a monster, rushed directly to Rolena who was blocking the door.
"Look, this is the great power of Nayaratotip. You can only die in the face of its power!!"
While screaming, Dr. Rose stretched out her claws, opened her mouth and rushed towards Rolena, trying to attack her.
However, at this moment, a scene that no one can imagine happened.
In the face of Dr. Rose''s attack, Rolena did not dodge or dodge. She just stood there, holding the heavy temple in her hand tightly, then jumped forward with a quick step, avoiding Dr. Rose''s twisted arms, came to her, clenched the sacred book in her hand tightly toward Dr. Rose''s face, held the sacred book in her hand, raised it high, and then took a heavy shot!
"Bang!!"
The next moment, everyone saw Dr. Rose screaming and flying backwards like a bowling ball thrown out, directly hitting the wall next to it, twitching for a moment and then quivering.
Seeing this scene, Arthur''s face changed suddenly. He hurriedly took out a pistol from his arms and aimed at everyone.
"Don''t move, no one is allowed to come over, otherwise I will..."
However, before Arthur finished speaking, he saw Duanmu Huai stand up from the sofa and walk towards him with big strides. Looking at the terrifying, huge figure and the fierce face, Arthur was frightened and frightened. His mind was blank, and he couldn''t even do something like pulling the trigger!
[You deterred the cultist Arthur! 】
[Cultist Arthur is conducting an appraisal - the appraisal failed]
[Cultist Arthur was surprised]
[Cultist Arthur loses 1D6 points of sanity]
[Cultist Arthur fell into fear! 】
"No, don''t come here!!"
Arthur widened his eyes and looked at the figure walking towards him. His hands were trembling wildly. Even if he couldn''t even pull the trigger, he could only watch Duanmu Huai come to him and... punched him out.
"Bang!!"
The next moment, Arthur was directly hit by Duanmu Huai with a punch and then fell heavily to the ground and fell into a coma.
"alright."
Duanmu Huai shook his hand and turned his head to look at the others.
"Now, the case has been resolved."
