Miss Moriarty wants to save Mihua Town today too

"Yes, Mr. Kabe suffers from stomach pains. Even after drinking, he has to take medicine to relax and fall asleep. As far as I know, he has a habit of taking stomach medicine and sleeping pills together."

Mu Mu felt that it was absurd. Drinking alcohol would inhibit the brain, and taking sleeping pills would make things worse. One bad one might endanger your life.

"Is what you said true?"

"Yes, I have reminded the president many times. However, he always insists on doing so."

Mu Mu and Takagi conspired in a low voice.

"What was the cause of death?"

"It was probably stabbed in the chest by a sharp knife."

"What about the time?"

"Presumably an hour to an hour and a half before the deceased was found."

Megure felt distressed, and now things became troublesome again.He looked at everyone present, conducted an interrogation, and asked for an alibi.

The conclusion is that Captain Taniguchi stayed in the bridge alone, Ishimura carried supplies on the second floor of the ship, and Haruna Niwata worked alone in her room. Among all the people on the deck, Kuye Masumi and Tsukami Masato also left the deck.

Although Winnet and Xiao Ai also left halfway, they were proved innocent by Yuanzi "who would take a child to kill the person they met for the first time".

At this time, Sophia who was staying in the room was also woken up.She frowned and looked at the gathered police, and at the same time became one of the candidates without an alibi.

This time, Mu Mu was even more distressed.Almost everyone has no alibi, and the two left on the deck, from the perspective of time, also have enough time to kill the victim.In this way, they can only proceed through motivation.Megure asked people to investigate the composition of Kabe's interpersonal relationship, and at the same time started the investigation, and interviewed each person individually in an unused room.

"Are you interested in the case?"

Winnet saw that Xiao Ai was quite positive about the incident.

"It's a little bit of curiosity. Generally speaking, you will be a little bit concerned about murder cases?"

"makes sense."

"Why, do you have a clue about this case?"

Unlike some hot-headed detective, the Winnet in front of her is more used to scrutinizing the whole story from the criminal's starting point. To a certain extent, she is also a slightly different kind of detective.

"Ah, a little."

"a little?"

"Yeah. But, it's more like a punishment than a crime."

"Punishment?"

"If more than two people want to kill him, even without going through the law, everyone will think he is guilty."

"I see." Xiao Ai smiled, "Since we are not the so-called 'envoys of justice', there is no need to hold the executioner accountable, right?"

"Could it be..."

"You mean to say I'm under the influence of the detective? No, I just don't want you to go down."

"Is that so..."

Winnet smiled at Xiao Ai.

"It's nothing to do with me. But if it's a real villain, I think I'll do it anyway."

"Isn't it good to let them be punished by law?"

"Then I should also be one of the sanctioned ones," Winnet rubbed Xiao Ai's cheek with her thumb, "I still don't believe that villains can repent or change."

Xiao Ai couldn't speak.

But there is a question in her mind: Does this include yourself?

There is nothing wrong with living in hiding. After experiencing it, Xiao Ai gradually changed her mind. She didn't want Winnet to sink deeper and deeper into the darkness. At least, don't commit unforgivable things .

She felt vaguely uneasy.

Winnet and her drifted apart on the road of heart.

"How about trusting once in a while?"

"Yes."

Winnet smiled.

Occasionally, you will encounter incredible people and things.

She glanced at Xiao Ai.

The person who can change her is already close at hand.

Winnet noticed Ran and Sonoko walking towards them, and stopped the conversation.No one expected this kind of thing to happen. Winnet apologized politely. The invitation brought trouble to Xiaolan and the others. Yuanzi attributed these things to the victim, thinking that he must not pay attention to the relationship between men and women. , which eventually led to the love killing, in contrast, the shy Xiaolan didn't want to talk about the victim.

"Will you take care of Xiao Ai for me?"

Winnet said to Sonoko.

Then she came to the interior of the crime scene under Yuanzi's astonished gaze.The forensic personnel saw that she had done nothing out of the ordinary, so they did not drive her out of the scene.

Sonoko was a little taken aback.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have heard it from my sister before. Miss Winnet helped solve a serial murder case on the ship heading to Japan... Maybe she is also interested in detectives."

"It turns out that Miss Winnet has such an experience."

"Haha, it's just to the extent of helping with the investigation. However, there are often in novels, right, such as the wise priest who solves the murder case."

"The Case of Father Brown."

Xiao Ai interjected.

Yuanzi and Xiaolan were amazed by this again, children nowadays, have they read so many books?

Yuanzi leaned over and spoke to Xiao Ai quietly.

"Why did your relationship suddenly become so good?"

"Maybe we have a common language."

"This answer is really infuriating."

To Sonoko, this sounded like she was saying that she and Miss Winnet had no common topics, although the other party really seldom brought up any topics on their own initiative.

Winnet stood watching from afar.

Although the bed at the scene of the crime was filled with dried blood, the central part did not spew out much.Winnet deduced that the knife in the heart did not hit the aorta accurately, and the degree of splashing was not high. As long as the angle is controlled properly, splashing on the body can be avoided.

However, even if there is splashing, things with blood stain reactions can be thrown into the river for disposal.

Winnet looked at the wounds of different depths and knew that this was not done by one person.

After his death, he was also stabbed with a knife, which shows how resentful he was.

On the premise that the murderer is not mentally ill, it can basically be locked as a vendetta. Even if the murderer intends to use this to influence the direction of the police investigation, it will be difficult to execute because of his psychological quality.

more than two...

Winnet turned her head to look at the medicine bottle on the table. There was no label on it. Miss Tingtian's words lacked credibility.

However, there were no more clues left at the scene except that it could be used as evidence of the murder weapon.Judging from the blood stains on the murder weapon, the blood should have been left on the murderer's hands—the problem can be solved by wearing gloves.In addition, some of the scars were obviously left after the victim's death. After the blood stopped flowing, and the knife was repaired, it would only flow out slowly, and then it would not splash on the body.

The murder weapon was originally a decoration hanging on the wall in Hebe's room, perhaps because of this, there was no need to deal with it.

The police, who searched the scene to no avail, have started salvage work, intending to find the gloves and protective gear used by the suspect from the river.Until the end of the investigation, there was no result. It was getting dark and the salvage work was progressing slowly.

The police had to temporarily stop the search.

As guests, their original intention was to spend the night on the boat.Although staying overnight on the ship where the murder occurred was a bit scary, the police asked so and left a man on the ship, so everyone was relieved.

Fortunately, this is not a planned serial murder case, and there is nothing to worry about.Seeing the situation at the scene just now, it can basically be said that the murderer was unprepared when he killed He Bu, and it was a temporary intention. Otherwise, the murderer would not need to use the knife that came with him in the room—unless he knew the layout of the room in advance.However, even if the murderer knows, there is a high probability that he will not choose this way, because it is easy to target people who "know the ship", thereby increasing the probability of being suspected.

Winnet has no worries about "a night with a murderer."

What to do with all this, anyway, she is not a detective with a sense of justice, so there is no need to investigate the murderer.At about 11:30, the police let everyone go back to their rooms and told them to lock the doors.Winnet said goodbye to Yuanzi and Xiaolan, and went back to the room with Xiaoai.Entering the enclosed space, Xiao Ai took a deep breath, as if she had finally relaxed.Listening to Xiao Ai's sigh, Winnet touched her shoulder with both hands.

Xiao Ai took off her shoes wearily, went to the sofa, and yawned. She didn't forget to glance at Winnet during the process, and she seemed a little weird.Half a minute later, Winnett operated the kettle in the room, took a cold drink from the refrigerator, clamped two fingers at the edge, and slowly placed it in front of Xiao Ai. "After becoming a child, will there be drowsiness?" Winnet asked curiously, after all, she didn't know about that miraculous drug, "Also, do you have any physical discomfort?"

Winnet's expression was worried.Entering the room, she loosened the rubber band that bound her hair, her fluffy blue and silver long hair was gathered together, and her straight back softened, as if she had stepped into a state of a social animal after get off work.She sat next to Xiao Ai and moved her lower neck and shoulders. Xiao Ai looked at Winnet sideways while holding the drink can, wondering when she dropped the tab.Due to the panic of the organization, Xiao Ai, who has been tense, has not thought about this problem, but the drug is not targeted accurately, and there are more or less side effects, but ATPX4869 does not reflect this.

"The body is a child, so it's normal for this to happen." Xiao Ai took a sip of her drink and explained to Winnet.Winnet hugged her legs, pressed her cheeks on her shoulders, and looked sideways at Xiao Ai. She obviously still had a lot to say, but seeing Xiao Ai's appearance, she forgot all of it in a moment.

"Yeah, it's normal for children. I mean, is there something wrong?"

Xiao Ai tugged at the collar and said: "I haven't felt it for the time being, but my physical strength is at a normal level. It probably has something to do with the age of taking the medicine. It is when the body is almost fully developed and belongs to the peak period. Therefore, after becoming a child, I didn't feel there was a physical problem."

"Physical health is the most important thing."

"Well, surviving is already a miracle of accidental effect, I don't ask for more. However, there are indeed corresponding troubles, especially when seeing someone who wants to touch, the state of the brain's backlog of love hormones , I’m fine, what does someone think?” Xiao Ai raised her chin, stared at Winnet from top to bottom, and slowly approached that fair face, “How can I relieve my loneliness from now on? what? What do you say?"

Well, being a kid is just as bad.

She didn't think distraction was necessary, but she still couldn't say it directly. She said: "Then uphold asceticism, which seems to be very popular recently. Speaking of it, the former me should be classified among them. I I just hope that Xiao Ai will turn back into an adult soon... Well, I don’t seem to call your name very often, Miss Zhibao?”

"What's that called? It sounds awkward."

……

246 nights

Xiao Ai thought that it was not easy to transition from one title to another.Winnet had always been called by her password name.For Xiao Ai, the name Shirley represents her in a longer time span, and interprets the woman Winnet is obsessed with.But the result was that after such a misunderstanding and accidental "farce", she broke away from the organization by accident and never went back. Strictly speaking, her position has changed drastically.

Winnet said: "But if I call you Zhibao—I always feel that it is the same name as Miss Mingmei. I might as well just call you Xiao Ai. To tell you the truth, I still prefer you to be a child for you." Quite interested. Is the appearance the same as when I was a child, or similar to my personality? If I smile a little more, I will definitely be super cute and popular!" She clasped her hands tightly, making an expression like a star-chaser girl, "Maybe, This is a great opportunity to start over.”

"you--"

"I mean, experience some things, like going to school that Xiao Ai is doing, and there are many beautiful things, have you ever thought about it?"

Obviously, he always emphasized that the school is an evil place, what are you talking about, do you want to push her away?Xiao Ai felt a little uneasy.However, Winnet's eyes are lively and full of anticipation. It is different from what she usually sees. It is usually colder. Because of the lack of focus, it feels like the full moon is far away and cold on a cold day, but There was a defensiveness behind her expectations that made her uncomfortable, she felt like she was drawing boundaries and keeping her out of her life.

Xiao Ai didn't answer, she raised the cold drink in her hand and put it on Winnet's face, but she didn't look startled as she thought, but still felt quiet.She left from the sofa and walked into the bathroom. After touching for a while, she couldn't find the disposable utensils on the shelf, and she sighed.At this time, Winnet also came in, grabbed Xiao Ai's upper chest, and lifted her to the height of the sink.

Xiao Ai looked at the mirror with fishy eyes, Winnet's smile was reflected in it, and she was whistling softly, her voice was like a musical instrument, melodious and solemn, the kind that would appear in a theme concert— —and soon she recognized it—it was "Mother of God."

What is this called, singing to coax children?During the years of getting along with Winnett, Xiao Ai is also used to similar repertoires, and the appreciation of music is common, so she listens to both hymns and rock.Being hugged on a high place, she can naturally feel the disposable toothbrush, and the rooms here are similar to those in a hotel.Looking at Winnet's smile, Xiao Ai didn't struggle, and simply started brushing her teeth in front of the mirror, trying to get rid of the sweetness left in her mouth by carbonated drinks - she basically didn't drink those.

"The way you treat others like children makes people very angry."

Winnet heard Xiao Ai say this, but felt that she was not angry, so she smiled and said, "But, Xiao Ai can't reach it now, right?"

Xiao Ai nodded to herself in the mirror. "It wasn't designed with children in mind," she spat the froth out of her mouth. "Do you know why?"

"why?"

Xiao Ai wrinkled her nose: "Add some sentimental elements, it's almost the same as a love hotel."

"Uh... I haven't thought about that."

"The man named He Bu probably died because of his usual behavior. The so-called feelings are invisible and fickle. They may turn into jealousy and hatred in a blink of an eye. That's what it is."

"Ah... maybe. But generalizing is a bad habit."

Xiao Ai thought to herself, is she going to take herself out of this category?She rinsed her mouth and put down the glass.She was also put down together. Although it was a bit humiliating to be held up like this, she still wanted to stay for a while in her heart. I couldn't explain why, even the hands that touched her couldn't be called warm, but at this moment, I had this kind of thought .But it was very late today, and she couldn't act like a little girl who talked all night.She turned her body sideways, tilted her head backwards, and saw Winnet's hands in the air.

"I think you in the past would not comment on what I said. This change surprised me."

Winnet also tore open the packaging of the disposables.She said: "I always have to keep up with the rhythm of your speech, Xiao Ai, as well as the life and expectations. Someone taught me this... In fact, until today, I feel like I have found my soul. I feel lost. long time."

That nun taught it again, Xiao Ai thought to herself.Presumably, her disappearance had an incalculable impact on Winnet.

Xiao Ai yawned.

"Stop saying embarrassing words, I'm already sleepy."

"Don't hide what's in your heart... It really makes people feel hot when you tell it."

"Phew, I agree with this point. It's more embarrassing than love words. I can't help but feel that you haven't learned the essence in the past few years in Japan."

Winnet was still one step behind Xiaoai's conversation: "The essence, what is the essence?"

"Pretty words for scenes and politeness."

"Haha, that's really harsh."

Winnet was amused by Xiao Ai's words. She felt that Xiao Ai was the one who hadn't changed. Even though her body was getting smaller, her speech was still as sharp and appropriate as ever.

Xiao Ai unbuttoned her shirt, "I suddenly changed my mind. Take a hot bath before going to bed."

"Then I too..."
