Chapter 317 Derivation of the truth
"You mean... besides us, are there other people on this ship?" Hart frowned upon hearing this.

Not only him, Xiao Yi's words obviously attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone else looked at Xiao Yi.

"Indeed..." Hart also nodded, "We haven't completely understood the structure of this ship yet, and we may not know where there is a hidden space to hide people, so... we cannot rule out this. Moreover, We were specially caught on this ship. It is impossible for us to just let us roam around on the ship. Someone will definitely be sent to monitor our every move. Therefore, I think it is very possible that there is another person. high."

Everyone else nodded, agreeing with the idea.

"Indeed, Xiao Yi, you have already raised this conjecture from the beginning, but none of us took it to heart, so we felt that Lin Huixue's death was impossible to achieve by human means. But then again..."

Wei'er said and asked Xiao Yi:
"If there are people we have never met, some of the doubts about Lin Huixue's death can indeed be explained. However, I still don't quite understand. Xiao Yi, most of the doubts you mentioned can be explained. So what exactly is going on? Can you elaborate?"

"..." Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let me explain in detail."

Xiao Yi took another deep breath, and then slowly expressed his guess.

"First of all, do you still remember the scream we heard at that time? It was not the voice of any of us, but that voice led us to the scene of Lin Huixue's tragic death."

"...Ah!" Except for No. 6, who was elsewhere at the time, everyone else looked surprised.

"Indeed, that was a sound we had never heard before. Why didn't we notice it at the time?" Hart touched his chin and said, "And we couldn't remember it afterward. It's so strange... Could it be because of Lin Huixue's death? Is it because the image was so impactful that I never paid attention to it?”

"I continued." Xiao Yi continued: "In short, after we rushed over, we did not see the person who made that sound. I think the reason for this is that our attention was immediately focused on that sound. Attracted by the blood on the ground, he rushed to the room at the end of the corridor, and then the scene in the room attracted all his attention.

At this time, the person who hid in a nearby room after making the cry could easily escape under such circumstances. I think this is why she chose to put the body in the room at the end of the corridor. Only in this way could she pass by all of us and leave smoothly. "

"That's it, that's it, but..." At this time, Weier asked doubtfully: "You should still remember, right? The sound rang not long after I came back from checking those rooms. In other words, that person was in the same rooms as me at the end of the corridor.

But! I checked all the rooms carefully at that time, but I didn't find that person at all. Why? That person should have been in a few rooms near the end of the corridor, right? "

"It's a very simple principle." Xiao Yi asked first: "You won't check the rooms you have already checked again, right?"

"...Yeah." Weier nodded, "After all, we have checked it so carefully, I think there is no need to check it again."

"Then it's very simple to avoid your sight." Xiao Yi explained: "When you are checking a room, that person can quietly move from the room you have not checked to the room you have already checked. Not in the room.”

"...Ah!" Wei'er immediately showed a look of realization.

"Then..." Xiao Yi continued to explain: "The same method may be able to explain the mystery of Lin Huixue's mysterious transfer."

"The mystery of the transfer?" Hart immediately showed a nervous expression, "In other words, that person used the same transfer method to transfer Lin Huixue's body to the room at the end of the corridor under our noses. ?”

"...That's right."

Xiao Yi nodded and then continued:

"Let's explain it step by step. First of all, the last time we saw Lin Huixue, she was pushing the dining cart to go back to the kitchen, so we took it for granted that she had gone to the kitchen, so we went to the kitchen to look for her."

"But in fact, Lin Huixue did not go to the kitchen. The dining car was the final evidence. If she had gone to the kitchen, the dining car should have returned to the kitchen. However, the dining car just stayed in the corridor. Until the storm came, the entire hull began to shake, and the dining car left on the corridor also flew past us because of the shaking of the hull. "

"The fact that the dining car is still in the corridor means that Lin Huixue was attacked by someone while she was still walking in the corridor. That person must have been hiding in a room next to the corridor. When Lin Huixue came over, he dragged him in He went into that room to kill."

"Thus, the dining car with no one in control will rush to the end of the corridor after the storm comes."

"So that's it!" After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Hart immediately punched the table and stood up excitedly, "The real culprit was before the storm came, before the ship was shaking so much that he couldn't even stand still. ! This makes sense... Moreover, we were all still together at the time, and everyone had an alibi. Sure enough, the real murderer was someone other than us. "

"Calm down, it's not over yet..." Xiao Yi continued: "Then, we took it for granted that Lin Huixue was in the kitchen, so we rushed to the kitchen. At that time, we passed by the room where Lin Huixue's body and the real murderer were hidden. s room."

"After we passed that room, the real murderer was naturally able to move freely with Lin Huixue's body without us knowing. Then, the real murderer chose to move Lin Huixue's body away, because once the real murder scene was exposed, The real culprit...or the fact that there is another person on board will be revealed."

"So, the real murderer decided to move the body and place it in the most unlikely place, opposite to the direction Lin Huixue left, that is, the room at the end of the corridor. Then he used the impactful method of dismembering the body to reveal the truth. Cast a strange mist to seduce us.”

"However, the real murderer's plan did not go so smoothly. After all, we also went to the room at the end of the corridor to check. I also quickly checked all the rooms over there, but I didn't see the real murderer. I guess it was Because the real murderer hadn't arrived at the end of the corridor yet and was hiding in another room. After I finished the investigation and left there, the real murderer who passed by me took Lin Huixue's body and went to the other room with him. Weier worked hard and finally completed the plan. "

"Of course, what I said may not be accurate. After all, although changing rooms is possible, it is very difficult. And with so many of us investigating at the same time, the possibility of exposure is also very high, so maybe this There is a secret passage in the cabin that we have not discovered, so this explanation is more reasonable. "

After hearing this, Xiao Yi's entire conjecture and all his methods have basically been explained.

"Well... I have generally understood what you are thinking. Indeed, there is nothing to refute. However, there is still one question I can't figure out..." At this time, No. 6 asked: "That is, why is it really true?" Wouldn't it be better to just hide the corpse if you want to go through all the trouble?"

"Because the real murderer wanted us to see the tragic state of the corpse." At this time, Hart explained: "Actually, Xiao Yi and Wei'er, I, and I investigated inside the ship before and found out that several of us were caught here. The reason is most likely to force us to kill each other, so Lin Huixue's tragic death may have been deliberately shown to us to arouse our panic, suspicion and despair. "

"...Killing each other?" No. 6 frowned immediately, "What does this mean?"

"We will explain it to you later." Hart said: "For now, it is better to focus on solving the truth about Lin Huixue's death and the real culprit."

"..." No. 6 was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I understand, so let's do this for now... However, I think this inference should be very close to the truth, right? Is there anything else that needs to be discussed? Doubtful?" "Well..."

Then, everyone fell into silence again.

"At least for now... there is none, at least I can't think of it." Hart said: "Next, I will go to the rooms between the hall and the kitchen to check, and after confirming the real murder scene, this time The incident should be concluded, right?”

"This area...is the area you are responsible for, right?" Weier asked Hart, "Didn't you already check it? Did you find anything?"

"I have already checked." Hart replied: "And there is nothing worth mentioning. However, I don't think I checked carefully. Maybe there are still things I missed. And under the current situation, I feel the need to check again.”

So, under Hart's suggestion, everyone went to the rooms between the hall and the kitchen to check again, and then, they really made a discovery.

"This is……"

Since this matter was proposed by Hart, Hart himself was naturally the most serious. Then, he made a discovery in an inconspicuous shadow.

"Is this...blood?"

Hart found a few drops of blood in the shadow, and he immediately knelt down and reached out to touch it.

"The blood has not completely coagulated. It obviously dripped not long ago. None of us here should be injured, right? Then... this can be confirmed to be Lin Huixue's blood."

Hart immediately stood up and continued:
"Then, this case, as Xiao Yi speculated, was committed by a mysterious person other than us... Next, the focus of our actions is to find out the mysterious truth Beware of its attacks."

Hart then looked at Ye Zi and said:
"Yi Zi, it was you who proposed to find out the truth about this incident and find out the real culprit who killed Lin Huixue. Now Xiao Yi has found the real culprit. It's great. You can also feel relieved about Lin Huixue's death. Right?"

"...Ah, um."

However, Ye Zi's reaction was unexpectedly dull. She just nodded indifferently.

It can be seen from the expression on her face that she seems to be thinking about other things instead of thinking about Lin Huixue.

And, for some reason, she...is avoiding everyone's eyes.

"…………leaf?"

Wei'er naturally noticed the strangeness of Ye Zi and stepped forward to ask with concern:
"What's wrong with you? Is there anything you can't let go of? Or...are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere in your body?"

"Ah... no! It's nothing..."

However, facing Weier's concern, Ye Zi took two steps back in panic.

"…………Um?"

Anyone would find this unusual appearance of Ye Zi strange.

And Wei'er looked at her and narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes full of doubts.

But then, Wei'er seemed to suddenly think of something, and her eyes widened again!

"It's hard...don't tell me!?"

"Weier, what's wrong with you?" Hart noticed the sudden change in Weier's expression and asked.

"I..." Weier looked a little hesitant, but she gritted her teeth and decided to speak: "I... thought of a terrible possibility."

"A terrifying... possibility?"

"Yes!" Weier nodded and asked: "I remember you said before that you went to look for Lin Huixue because you received a distress message from Lin Huixue, right? So... when you received the message, you were... …when?"

"...!" Hart was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked, "The news was sent after... the storm was over! And according to Xiao Yi's speculation, Lin Huixue was killed before the storm came. But, what? What does it mean? Maybe the real murderer took the message from Lin Huixue’s cell phone and induced us to act.”

"But does the real murderer know the unlock password of her mobile phone?" Weier said: "Even if the real murderer knows it, he can't completely control all our subsequent actions, right? After all, there is only one signal for help.

All the actions taken by the real murderer after that were too smooth. All our actions seemed to be controlled by him, including Lin Huixue's return to the kitchen. Otherwise, the real murderer would not have been able to act so covertly under our noses. It's as if... someone is deliberately reporting our situation to the real murderer. "

"You mean, among us, there is an accomplice of the real murderer, a mole, who is responsible for informing the real murderer and supporting the real murderer's actions?" Hart said this without hesitation, his expression Wei Ning said, "...but this is just your speculation, and maybe Lin Huixue was not killed immediately after being caught by the real murderer, but lived for a while because of the storm. She relied on It was during that time that I had the opportunity to send messages.”

"I know there are many holes in my speculation." Weier said, "But I only need to confirm one thing to prove whether it is true."

Wei'er then looked at Ye Zi and asked:
"Ye Zi, can we search you? Let's see if you have Lin Huixue's cell phone on you."
