Chapter 352

Just as Ann Yizhi guessed, the deceased was indeed an addict. Although I don't know where he got so much morphine, it doesn't matter.

Importantly, in this way, ANN can't confirm whether he was knocked over by drugs before his death, or whether he was too high on drugs before being exploited by the killer.

There is a big difference between the two. If the murderer did it, he doesn't need to disguise the scene as suicide at all, because there are many signs of fighting at the scene. People with a clear eye can see that someone once shared a room with the dead and had a dispute. If it is the latter, the struggle traces left can not explain the problem. It is also possible that the victim's own drug use led to hallucinations, resulting in such a result.

Although it is speculated according to this idea that the deceased may have committed suicide by taking too many drugs, an Yizhi prefers that this is a premeditated and carefully disguised homicide.

However, there is another unavoidable question. Why? What is the purpose of the killer's disguise?

Dig out some psychopaths who are purely happy with it. Usually, the secret room murder is to create an alibi or simply get rid of the suspicion.

But now they don't even have a suspect. The murderer directly killed the dead and then closed the door. No one would notice.

Or is all this to frame people?

stand a good chance!

Ann pointed to these in her mind. Since the murderer wants to do this, let's ask the guy who was framed first.

"I remember another man with the dead. Did you find him?"

The first mate next to the captain held a thick book in his hand, which was estimated to be the guest's register. He said:

"You must be referring to Mr. mcflynn. His name landed with the dead in the two incidents. We have sent someone to look for it. I believe we can find it soon."

Anyi nodded. After all, the incident happened on a cruise ship on the way. Unless he jumped into the sea, he couldn't leave the ship, and there was a storm outside. No matter how confident he was about his wateriness, he couldn't guarantee that he could swim back to land in the stormy sea.

While waiting for the results, an Yizhi checked the whole room in detail. Without looking at the traces of the struggle, it was strange that the round window was open. You should know that there was a storm outside and no one would open the window for air in this weather. In fact, there was a large pool of water stains under the window, which was probably caused by the rain.

Write down this clue in the notebook. Ann pointed out that she focused on the other parts.

Assuming that all this was homicide, the murderer must be very familiar with the deceased, or at least know each other. Otherwise, it is unlikely to enter the room. This has been confirmed with the captain. There are only two keys to the first-class guest room, one for the guest and the other kept by the crew on board and placed in the captain's room. There was only one key to the captain's room, which was on the captain's body, so the murderer could not directly use the spare key to unlock and enter the dead man's room.

So it seems that the murderer is the guy who hasn't been found yet, but as I said just now, an Yi pointed out that it is estimated that someone is putting the blame on him. Whether he is innocent or not, it is the most important to find him first.

An Yi pointed down and touched the trace on the floor. This long scratch was dropped from the chair. You can see the obvious depression and drag trace. In addition, you can also see the distortion and accumulation of the carpet and overturn the cup on the tea table.

He simulated the scene in his mind.

The deceased heard a knock on the door, opened the door and found that he was an acquaintance, so he invited him in. Then he was attacked from behind by the murderer. It is estimated that the deceased was sitting on a chair at that time, so he left drag marks on the wooden floor. The struggle caused the carpet to pile up. Then the killer stunned the dead with drugs or directly, and then arranged some mechanism to make the dead look like suicide.

This is almost the process.

An Yizhi found a burn mark on the sole of the deceased's shoe. It should be that the deceased was attacked while smoking, and the cigarette end was just stepped on by the deceased.

He walked around the room twice and found the two half burned cigarettes under the bed, which may have been kicked in by the murderer when he moved the dead. One was crushed and the other remained in good shape.

That's a little strange.

Once the cigarette is lit, it will not go out unless it is burned out. Most of the cigarette end has not been burned out, and its shape is relatively intact. If there is no external force to affect it, it will burn out directly, rather than leaving more than half of it like this.

"Breeze, is there any sign of frostbite on the dead?"

"Frostbite?"

Qingfeng bazuka was stunned at the speech, and then looked carefully at the hand of the dead holding the gun:

"A little, on the left side of the palm, under the thumb, the position of the tiger's mouth"

"Well... I see."

"What did you find?"

Tu Hongyu asked.

"I found something. It's hard to say now."

He perfunctorily asked Tu Hongyu to the captain:

"Mr. captain, can you tell me what you concealed? About the first incident..."

The captain frowned and sighed helplessly:

"Yes"

Then he said to the crew behind him:

"You go out first. I need to talk to Mr. Ann."

It doesn't seem very glorious.

When the crew went away, the captain said:

"There was nothing to hide. I guess the gunman who attacked me was an old friend of mine."

"Old friend? Is it an enemy?"

Tu Hongyu make complaints about it.

"Sort of."

The captain smiled bitterly and said:

"Before entering the civil aviation field, I served in the Navy. At that time, I had a good friend. We served on the same warship, retired together, and finally joined the current shipping company. Later, I used some less aboveboard means in selecting the captain. I exposed his evil deeds to the leadership during his service."

"What evil?"

"Indiscriminate killing of innocent people, who have deliberately killed innocent civilians of other countries"

This is really evil. It's enough to go to military court.

"Later, because of this incident, he was forced to leave the shipping company, and we completely broke off our relationship. That was about 20 years ago. I heard that he married a Mafia daughter to become a redundancy. I don't know anything else."

"So you suspect that the old friend came back to avenge you?"

The captain nodded and acquiesced to Tu Hongyu's words.

An Yizhi heard the light and asked the captain:

"What's his last name after he joined the redundancy?"

"Er... It seems to be Nelson? Sorry, I can't remember for a long time, but I clearly remember that his wife is the daughter of a powerful mafia. For a while, I was particularly worried that he would use the Mafia to retaliate."

"Nelson... Well, Mr. captain, I have to say that your suspicion is wrong. Your former good friend can't appear on the ship and shoot you anyway."

"Why?"

"Because he died. About a month ago, he died of suicide."

Do you remember? When Ann pointed to the young man they were looking for, he was called Mallory Nelson.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The captain was stunned. He always thought that the man who shot himself was his former friend.

"Do you have any other targets? I mean enemies who may shoot you"

The captain shook his head:

"Since I broke up with my friends, I suddenly realized that my position and effort are far less important than a sincere friend to you, so I have maintained a good relationship with you for the next 20 years and have not become enemies with anyone."

Hearing the captain's words, an Yizhi thought about it a little and said:

"Mr. captain, I think even if this incident is not included, the last one was also a murder. The murderer used you as a shield and deliberately set up a maze to kill the victim of the first incident."

As soon as the train of thought changed, an Yizhi had countermeasures:

"Captain, who knows about you?"

"Not much. Except my wife, only the second officer knows, because the second officer was also present when I reported to the senior management."

"Is it possible that your wife or the second mate disclosed it to others?"

The captain shook his head, which he didn't know.

Assuming that only two people except the captain knew about it, and the captain's wife was far away from home, the second mate was the most suspected.

"Are you doubting the second mate?"

Seeing what an Yizhi thought, the captain said:

"He's a good man. I can't imagine that he would be the initiator of all this."

"A good man doesn't mean he won't commit a crime. I need more clues. What was the second mate doing in your speech before?"

The captain thought:

"He should have been on the bridge with the first mate."

"Should? Is there any evidence? Forget it. We can't scare the snake."

On the contrary, just ask the sailors on the bridge at that time. Asking now is likely to make the second mate suspicious.

"Captain, Mr. an Yizhi"

Speaking of Cao Cao, the second officer of the topic knocked at the door and said:

"We found Mr. mcflynn"

An Yizhi nodded to the captain, who said knowingly:

"Come in, Mr. an Yizhi wants to ask him. He may be an important suspect."

The second mate and two sailors helped the drunken guy into the room. He was one of the three people who once sat next to Ann Yizhi and the only survivor of the three, the 30-year-old man.

But now he is completely drunk and can't even walk easily. Can he really arrange a mechanism to create a secret room to kill people? It's estimated that the murderer who wanted to frame him didn't expect that the goods were a drunkard.

When mcflynn was helped into the room, he was still half squinting and talking nonsense. In such a state, it would be nice if he could know where he was.

"Where did you find him?"

Pinching his nose, he tried not to smell the wine coming from him. An pointed and asked.

"In the warehouse, when we found him, he was secretly drinking the wine on the ship."

Stealing drinks? As for?

At least it's also a first-class guest. Can't you even afford a drink?

With this doubt, Ann pointed to a large glass of water in the water bottle from a distance and threw it on mcflynn's face
