After getting the conclusion that "it is likely to be caused by drugs", the young people who followed behind breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did someone change his medicine?" Atsuko Uekawa, who was hiding behind Suzuki Ayako, questioned.

"It seems that's right," Takahashi Ryoichi echoed, "and it should have been replaced in the near future, otherwise there is no way to guarantee that he will take this medicine in the afternoon instead of earlier."

Sophia put aside the relationship and said: "Then, should we find out who Stanley met today? I haven't spoken to him."

"Before that, let's visit the resting Baron Arman. He may not know about it yet."

Seeing that there was a deduction in the matter, Winnet pointed the finger at the mysterious baron.

……

109 True and False Knights (Headless Corpse)

Edward nodded approvingly. "It is indeed necessary to confirm with Baron Arman."

"In this case, let's meet in the lounge first." Ota Katsuki breathed a sigh of relief, and he looked at Suzuki Ayako, "Uncle Suzuki also looked very worried just now, we should take Suzuki back."

"Then let's go too, it seems that someone who has a grudge against Stanley did it." Sophia grabbed Clyde, who smiled sarcastically.

Only Winnet, Shirley, Otis, and Edward stayed behind.

Shirley glanced at Winnet's expression, and felt that she had expected it.

"Do you think there is something wrong with the Baron?"

"Maybe there is, so I have to go and have a look."

Shirley rubbed her nose and said, "Please take the initiative to get involved in such troublesome things."

"But he messed up the appearance you prepared for me, didn't he?" Winnet turned her face to the side and looked at Shirley with a smile.

Shirley stood on tiptoe and leaned into Winnet's ear: "Oh, now I can speak sweet words."

"what."

"I am not such a woman who is easily deceived."

She was obviously just a girl, Winnet thought to herself.

They came to Room 215 on the same floor. Edward took the key chain that the housekeeper gave him, and knocked on the door of the cabin first.

"Mr. Yarman! Mr. Yarman, are you there?"

Edward yelled several times in a row, but there was no response or movement.He nodded to the three of them, and then found the corresponding room key.

"It seems that your intuition is right. It smells like oxidized blood." Shirley sniffed.

A click.

The door opened.

Seeing the scene inside, Edward looked horrified.

Winnet subconsciously covered Shirley's eyes.Shirley took Winnet's hand off with a little force, as if to say "she's not the kind of girl who screams at a horrible sight".

The layout of the room was different from Stanley's. There was a large table next to the bed, and a sofa bed against the wall. There was no long table in the middle, but a headless corpse instead.

"This is really tragic." Shirley was also taken aback when she saw this.

The blood splashed like waves at the scene of the guillotine execution, and even splashed on the sugar bowl and coffee cups placed on the small round table.

Otis was also stunned for a moment, as if the dignity of a man did not allow him to roar, but from the state of panting, it could be seen that he was actually holding back.

Edward had seen many scenes, and he only frowned deeper.

Winnet walked in first, and crawled to look around.Then she shook her head at the three, "It seems that the head is not here."

Seeing this, Otis finally calmed down. "Miss Priest, you don't seem to be afraid?"

"Because I don't see it as clearly as you do." Winnet made an excuse.

Even though it was the first time she entered such a room and encountered such a scene, she didn't have the slightest sense of fear. They were all dead, the only difference being that this corpse lacked a head.

"Who on earth did such a cruel thing?" Edward trembled.

Winnet did not answer, she did not know the answer to this question for the time being.After entering the room, she looked at the corpse for a while, and it gave her a strange feeling.

The first is that his attire is too formal and flamboyant.

Decorations of stars and moons are hung, and the tone is darker blue, which has a bit of Bourbon style.

A son who is obsessed with coming out of a baron's famous family may indeed dress like this, provided he meets guests.Let a guest dance and play swords in front of him, and most of them are not very friendly guests, who would be so big-hearted?

It's so unreasonable.Winnet looked carefully at the section of the neck again.

"The section is a bit too neat."

"Neat? Really, it's almost like being cut off in an instant. How is that possible? It's ridiculous!"

Otis carefully examined the section of the incision and came to a conclusion.

Edward also stepped forward to look at it. His thoughts were more comprehensive than Otis's, and he even shook his body, stood on the side of the corpse, and made the movement of waving a sharp blade.

Edward simulated it once, then frowned and said, "This is too difficult!"

Seeing this, Otis also checked the condition of the corpse vigorously.

Shirley followed.

But Winnet didn't want her to come with her. She didn't want to show Shirley such a cruel scene, but Shirley didn't care what others had to say. Even if it was her words, it would be difficult for Shirley to change her mind.

"It seems that all we can know is that Mr. Arman died in this cabin. The door is automatically locked. The murderer may have knocked on the door. Baron Arman opened the door for him, and then he was forced to the edge of the sofa. Owl head."

Shirley glanced at him and quickly refuted him.

"Sir, you are a bit whimsical. How much strength do you think it takes to cut a person's throat like this?"

If this happens...Winette estimated that even she would not be able to do it without a handy tool.

"Maybe, the murderer only needs a sharp enough dagger to do it?"

"A strong man of two hundred catties can't cut off a person's head with a dagger, sir. It's still possible if it is cut off slowly, but it wouldn't be like this at the scene." Shirley almost showed a contemptuous expression.

Shirley doesn't take into account the self-esteem of machismo, but treats them equally and despises them.Winnet, who was originally worried, suddenly felt a little funny.

"Mr. Otis," Winnett followed Shirley's words and asked, "Have you ever thought about what the murderer might have used?"

"I can't imagine."

"If it is a modern weapon, I think it is almost impossible." Edward took up the topic, "It is not an easy thing to cut off the neck, especially with such a neat section, I am afraid that only the guillotine can do it. However, if you are good at cold People with weapons can do it with heavy battle axes or double-edged swords, but how can there be such things on my ship..."

"Judging from the condition of the bloodstain," Shirley continued, "it wouldn't have been cut off after death, unless the murderer fixed the person and then chopped off his head with a weapon."

"If this is the case, the murderer is too procrastinating." Winnet felt that the murderer would not be able to do this. "Walking around with a large cold weapon, people will definitely be noticed immediately. The cabin between the two rooms is full of occupants." . are easily witnessed."

"Then we should ask in the lounge," Otis said, "to see if there are any witnesses."

Edward stopped him from going out the door. "This can't be done," he said in a serious tone. "This is not poisoning, but a terrible owl head. Most of the murderer is still on this ship. If he is stabbed out, it will definitely cause riots. Before the police arrive, I can't interrogate me." Guests. Otis, you are not a professional detective, even if there are witnesses, we may not be able to track them down. Besides, it is already night."

"Uncle Edward is right, besides, we still don't know what the murder weapon is."

Winnet said still calmly.

……

110 True and False Knights ([-])

Keeping the situation on the scene, they slowly exited the room.

At this time, the housekeeper Karl ran over in a hurry.Carl yelled in fear: "Master, the rabbit is dead! It first hit the cage frantically, then jumped up, and finally stopped moving. It seemed to be insane." The housekeeper Carl took out a mobile phone and took out the picture of the rabbit. Leave it to Edward.

"Let me take a look." Shirley snatched the phone, looked at the picture of the rabbit, and then frowning in thought, she said, "Rabbits and humans have different levels of tolerance to drugs, but the clinical symptoms are not too different. According to the butler, it is likely to be a dangerous neurotoxin with hallucinogenic effects."

While she was speaking, Otis acted a little out of control.

"A whole bottle?" Otis showed a horrified look on his face, "The murderer either has amazing financial resources, or has the knowledge to prepare this poison."

Coupled with the fact that the murderer can decapitate a person neatly, he is like a terrifying enemy with all-hands and eyes.Otis stared at Shirley with wide eyes and a long mouth.

"I remember," he regained the ability to speak with difficulty, "I thought I saw this Mr. Arman during the day on the deck. He was wearing this dress, because the pendant on it was in the sun. Very bright eyes."

"Have you seen this man during the day?"

"Yeah, he was talking to people. But I just passed by because I went to the bow of the boat to see the waves."

"What time was that?" Shirley asked. "What time did you see him?"

"About shortly after boarding the ship, I was about to take a picture of the waves hitting the shore. By the way, Baron Arman seemed to be talking to someone at the time."

"Is the time of death around noon?" Shirley said to herself.

Compared to her previous calmness and composure, Shirley was a little less confident in her deduction this time.

"It's possible. Maybe the murderer disguised himself as a food delivery person. Hiding the weapon inside the dining car won't be easy to attract attention, right? In this way, entering Arman's room becomes a matter of course. Take advantage of him not paying attention, and decapitate him." Winnet made a short inference, "Maybe it is possible."

"Indeed, there are no traces of entertaining guests at the scene." Shirley looked into the room, there was only one coffee cup, and there was no breath of life inside, "Judging from the condition of the room, Arman didn't stay in this room for a long time before his death. "

"Judging from the rigidity of the body, it is reasonable to expect a time of more than five or six hours."

"In other words, it's true that this is the scene." Edward added, "But after the murderer has killed someone, how will the head be transported away, and how will the murder weapon be disposed of?"

"Throw it into the sea," said Otis.

It is a long distance to run from here to the deck, and you will definitely meet other people along the way.The exit on the deck is close to the center of the hull. The port and starboard sides are not connected. It is impossible to go around the edge. You can only pass through the high-level deck and then go down, so the view is very wide.

Holding a leather bag that can hold a human head can be said to be quite eye-catching.

"This goes back to the murderer's killing of Yarman. Just like the head of the owl, throwing the package into the sea is also eye-catching. This is not a public cabin, so there is no need to carry valuables with you." Winnet said.

Edward understood that it was useless to continue the discussion.

"We still have to check the witnesses..."

Indeed, it is.Shirley glanced sideways at Winnet, seeing her unhurried appearance made one feel a little anxious.

Good missionaries have no problem with their skills...

Does Winnet want to find out the murderer of the case?It makes people feel anxious.

"Looks like we have to wait for the police to arrive," Winnet said.

Edward agreed: "Well, it should be done."

He repeatedly asked not to announce the first case of Xiao, and they went to the lounge on the ship.

The lounge is much more luxurious than the dining room, giving people the feeling of having everything you need.Bookcases full of first editions and collections of books, a small bar in the center, a dart range, a small greenhouse, and a large water tank for swimming tropical fish.

Among them, what attracted Winnet most was the medieval battle armor decorated in the corners. These armors still held weapons in their hands and were full of luster.

Although it is not a real antique, it is by no means a complete decoration, such as the cross sword on the armor's hand, it is not difficult to penetrate the human body.

Maybe the killer found a suitable weapon from these armors?

While she was thinking about this, Edward took the microphone to amplify the sound.He first apologized, then canceled the dinner, and finally explained the cause of Mr. Stanley's death, because he took the wrong medicine, and explained that he had a history of heart disease and concealed the existence of the murderer.At the end of the story, Edward specifically mentioned that the specific situation cannot be confirmed yet, and the police will arrive for inspection tomorrow. It is best to stay quietly in the room tonight.

But judging from the atmosphere at the scene, Winnet felt that these persuasions were useless.Who would worry about a man who passed away due to illness?Winnet understood people's mentality, and such persuasion was useless.

After the speech, Edward recruited staff to entertain the guests in the leisure room, and sent staff to escort the guests back to the room.

In addition, he also closed entertainment venues such as bars to prevent accidents.

After that, Winnett was greeted by the guests, and she became listless, and her cheeks were a little stiff when she smiled.Suzuki Ayako and his father also came to greet him, they were very enthusiastic, and even invited her to be a guest.After finally dealing with it, Winnet hid in the corner seat and sighed.

"Do you have an idea?" Shirley suddenly appeared and asked.

Winnet felt that Shirley was in a bad mood, and she lowered her head softly.

"A little suspicious..."

Is it because she left Shirley alone?How clingy!

"I thought you were excited, how positive. It turned out that I was playing a detective game."

"hey-hey……"

"What are you going to do? Leave it alone?"

"It's not easy to judge at the moment. We don't know enough about the dead, and there is no one here who knows the dead well. Especially Baron Arman, we don't know anything about him. Whether he is a person or a ghost, this point also the same."
