Why it never ends

The sound of Su Lei's brushing notes was heard in the quiet room. Hesta turned her head and saw that Su Lei took out her black-covered hard-shell book again - all her thoughts were recorded on it.

"Aren't you tired, Officer Su Lei?" Hesta asked softly.

"...I said it's fine."

Hesta got up from the bed again, and she walked to Gustav and sat on the floor.

"Show me what's in your pocket again," Hesta said casually, "everything."

Gustav didn't speak, but did so immediately, even though Hestaf didn't look at him, Gustave could still read some hostility from Hestaf's face, which made him involuntarily turn in the direction of Rico Moved a few inches.

Paper clips, pencil ends, and tape measures were placed in front of Hesta in turn.

Hesta touched the pins and pencils in his hands, and said in a low voice: "On the day of boarding, I remember that quite a few of you thorny monks stored their luggage directly, and only a few of you chose to board the ship with hand luggage, right?"

"……Yes."

"Then why did you all have suitcases when you ended up at the Bishop's for dinner?"

"Ah, that's because, before entering the restaurant that day, we happened to bump into the luggage cart with our luggage in the corridor outside... At that time, Mr. Bree thought, each of us has some emergency tools in the box, so It's better to bring something with you..."

Hesta raised his head in surprise: "So you walked all the way empty-handed, and you just picked up your luggage before entering the restaurant?"

"Ah."

This answer really made Hesta feel a burst of black humor. She never believed that the cart full of the thorny monk's luggage appeared there by "chance".Allowing the victims to bring their luggage into the "NO.12 waiting room" may be exactly the effect Anna wants-by the time everyone realizes that something is wrong, it will be too late.

... It is conceivable that Anna must have been extremely proud that night.

Li Ke listened with great interest: "In other words, someone should deliberately lure you to violate the "Instructions" and bring your luggage into the restaurant?"

"It's not just them, we also met." Hesta said softly, "That afternoon we met a crew member carrying luggage on the open deck. That person asked us, but Officer Su Lei directly refused. .”

Li Ke saluted Si Lei, "Excellent, officer."

"It's just a coincidence." Si Lei replied.

"Then," Hesta put the paperclip back on the ground again, "it seems that your predetermined method of death lies in these three things."

The only bit of blood on Gustav's face faded immediately, and he obviously couldn't react to the sudden turn of the topic.

"I guess it was stabbed to death by a sharp object, or strangled by a rope," Hesta propped his face with one hand, and spoke calmly, "Like Dietrich's half-horse commemorative coin, you saw him running on the boat before he died. It's been a day-"

"Enough." Su Lei looked at Hesta, "What's going on with you tonight? Why do you keep threatening others?"

Hesta raised her head, she finally found some familiarity with Su Lei tonight, however, Su Lei's annoyed gaze only lasted for a moment before turning away.After a brief adjustment, Su Lei looked at Gustav, and his voice quickly returned to its previous indifference.

"Listen, whatever the murderer was planning tonight, it's not going to happen."

Gustaf was sobbing tremblingly. He hugged his knees tightly with his hands and buried his face in his arms. Even Rico poking him in the back of the head was useless this time.

"To clarify, I'm predicting, not threatening." Hesta stared intently at Su Lei's face, "I think it might be more beneficial for him to maintain his vigilance—"

"Jane! Don't apply to uninvolved persons what you saw in the last case—you can't assume that just because some people have suffered unwarranted bad luck, they are equally guilty!
"There are still many ordinary people living in this world. Do you know what an ordinary person is? Sometimes they are good and sometimes they are bad. When they are good, they are not as good as some saints and Buddhas, but when they are bad, they are not so bad. If you fall into imperfection in morality, you must pay your life, and there are not many people in this world who can survive, you, me...even including the murderer himself, everyone is the same!"

Li Ke involuntarily raised his hands to block between himself and Si Lei——Si Lei's long sentence was like a wave of air with substance. Li Ge was neither good at nor liked to deal with such quarrels, but She still looked at Hesta with some curiosity.

Hesta was still sitting cross-legged beside Gustav, her head always raised.

"...My assumption is that someone is paying for the mistakes they made in the past;" Hesta put his right arm against himself, and pointed at Su Lei with his left hand, "Your assumption, these passengers on the Shengming are all 'Ordinary people,' who the hell sounds even more unrealistic—"

"Who will judge 'reality'? Judge 'whose' reality?"

Su Lei's questioning almost closely followed the end of Hesta's words, so that before Hesta understood the meaning of these two questions, she had already continued:

"If this is a livable place, there is no law that can force a citizen to testify against himself, but here is not... I know it is not here! It is even worse here, because there is no victim here asking for justice from the perpetrator, only The high-ranking people judge at will, life and death, no one cares!" Su Lei restrained his voice, "You asked me what my plan is for tonight-my plan for tonight is to break it, this cruel act of massacre Must stop!"

"Yeah, isn't this plan already our consensus," Li Ke interjected at the right time, "otherwise we wouldn't be here tonight—"

"Even if every passenger on this ship is guilty of a heinous crime, if they don't kill them, the people will not be angry. Where is the evidence for their crimes? Is it enough for the murderer to see and confirm it? Is the murderer's claim that he deserves the crime is absolute justice? Then who Is the ruler used to measure the murderer accurate!?"

Li Ke sighed softly. Obviously, the way she tried to smooth things over just now had no effect at all. If the quarrel continues like this, even if there is a big movement outside, she may not be aware of it... She was just about to turn her head and hold Hesta away. After talking back, it turned out that Hesta had fallen silent.

"Okay, okay," Li Ge clapped his hands lightly, "I propose, if you still expect me to be able to confront the enemy in time, today's fight will end here... Now let's enter the silent time, how about it?"
