[Su Xinghuo’s confession: I was on the island during the day yesterday. At the beginning of Xu, the street crew notified me to return to the Sea Charm.
Originally, I wanted to go directly to the heir, but I saw Miss Shi Yajing going to find him, so I read in my room.
At about two-quarters of an hour in the early morning of Xu (8:30 p.m.), I went to room No. 9. King Si seemed to have drunk wine. There was an empty bottle of Zui Hongchen wine on the table, as well as two wine glasses.
.
He seemed to be in a bad mood. He apologized to me first and drank all the wine in Zui Hongchen, and then went to get some wine from the wine cabinet. I was worried about his health and asked him not to drink anymore.
At this time, the alarm talisman in the room made a vibrating sound like a cricket - this was not because the talisman detected an alien species, but because the talisman itself was about to run out of power.
Yuan Jia took a bunch of brand new talismans from the drawer of the table, replaced the old ones, and posted them on the door, window, bedside, etc.
I saw that he was drunk, so I asked him if he wanted to sleep on the island tonight - there were wind and waves at night, and the rocking of the ship would keep people awake.
Either I stay in the house and look after him, or I ask his two guards to come over.
He refused, saying that he was still carrying a curse, so he couldn't land on the island, and he couldn't harm me. Besides, he didn't trust the two guards very much...
He always felt that the incident of his eldest brother falling from a horse and getting injured was too much of a coincidence.
Oh, by the way, he also said that I don’t have to worry about him. He is only half drunk, so he won’t be so drunk that he loses consciousness.
I stayed in Room No. 9 until around 10 p.m., and then returned to my cabin.]
[Confession of Sikong Ji and Sikong Qiu: We did not go to the island during the day yesterday and stayed at the end of the corridor, next to the receptionist’s table.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, I saw King Si coming out of the room and followed him to the deck.
At a quarter of an hour after Youzheng (6:15 p.m.), I heard him talking to Wu Yunjun about building a railway in Zhao County.
At three-quarters of an hour, we followed King Si back to the cabin to prepare for routine inspections - that is, to check whether the doors and windows were damaged, whether there were any signs of alien invasion, etc.
During the inspection, Dai Xu, the talisman master on your ship, brought over a stack of talismans that were newly painted today.
He is a talisman master in the Patrolling Cloud Realm. The alarm talisman he draws can last for seven days. Every seven days when the power of the talisman fades, it must be replaced.
We originally wanted to replace the talisman for the king, but we were refused. He said he would change it himself and asked us to go out.
We had no choice but to do as we were told and left the room before Xuchu.]
[Dai Xu’s confession: I stayed on the island during the day, and returned to the Sea Charm at the beginning of the year to draw the talismans in my own room. There were many talisman masters on the Sea Charm, and I was usually in charge of the VIP area. After drawing the talismans,
I followed the list and delivered the talismans to each room.
For example, the VIP in Room 1 booked more Liliang Talismans, and the VIP in Room 5 booked two Water Swimming Talisman and Shark Repelling Talisman - the couple cannot swim, but they want to go diving.
By the way, they also asked me to write another insect repellent charm, saying that on an impromptu basis in the afternoon, when I returned to the ship to get a drawing board and paper, I heard a rustling sound in the cabin board and suspected that insects and ants had entered the ship.
I helped with these trivial matters, and at about four-quarters of an hour in Youzheng, I arrived at Room No. 9 where King Si was, and gave him the talisman.
He was the last person on the reservation list. After settling the matter, I returned to my room.]
When it was Li Ang's turn to be questioned, he answered truthfully about his day's experience. He visited the island during the day and returned to the cabin to sleep at night. He had neither contacted Xia Yuanjia nor entered Room 9. It can be said that he had the least interaction with the case.
one of.
After the questioning, the results of the autopsy came out.
The captain called all the people involved in the case to Room 10 to show the autopsy report.
The captain said solemnly: "The autopsy showed that the cause of death of King Si was that his neck was cut open with a sharp weapon and he died in a very short period of time."
"Based on the degree of digestion of the contents of his stomach, the exact time of his death was at the right time (two o'clock in the morning), which was consistent with the time on the clock in the room."
Su Xinghuo pursed his lips and said: "There are no pinholes in his body, the contents of his stomach are not poisonous, and the bottle of drunk red dust is not poisonous either."
Hearing that the wine was not brought by him, Zhou Guo businessman Wu Yunjun breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly realized that he should look sad at this time, and quickly turned his relief into coughing.
No one cares about Wu Yunjun's mood changes,
Guard Sikong Qiu frowned and asked: "How do you know that bottle of wine and the contents of the heir's stomach are not poisonous?"
"I used clean water and poured it into a wine bottle to get thin wine. I fed the wine to several ship cats and observed their performance.
They also fed the digestive residues from the Si Wang’s stomach to the pigs raised by the islanders, but no signs of poisoning were found.”
Su Xinghuo ignored the changes in expressions on everyone's faces and said to himself: "If we were on land, the inspection methods would be more diverse, but now we don't have that condition, so we have to keep everything simple.
In short, alcohol is not poisonous, and it has no ability to cause hallucinations - for example, it can make Yuan Jia feel that he is trapped in a terrible terror that he cannot escape from, and he takes a knife to commit suicide in the hallucination."
Su Xinghuo tilted his head towards the singer Shi Yajing, "In addition, I used the steam generated by heating iodine crystals to smoke the wine glass, and only found the fingerprints of Yuan Jia and Miss Shi Yajing.
There is no poison left in the wine glass."
The technology of using iodine crystal vapor to reveal fingerprints was invented by Li Ang.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, feeling a little emotional about the coincidences in the world.
"Then our suspicion has been cleared?"
Wu Yunjun, a merchant from Zhou Dynasty, hesitated and said: "The wine I sent is not poisonous."
"The question now is not who is the suspect. After all, most of us have entered Yuanjia's Room No. 9.
The question is, how did the murderer kill Yuan Jia in the secret room, and how did he leave the secret room."
Su Xinghuo walked out of Room 10, opened the door of Room 9, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please take a look at the situation at the scene.
This door was specially customized by Yuan Jia. It is incredibly thick and has three locks, requiring three keys to open.
Yuan Jia told me that he usually carries these three keys with him and puts them under his pillow when sleeping."
He carefully opened the pillow, and sure enough there were three heavy copper keys underneath.
"Receptionist."
Su Xinghuo turned around and said, "The spare key to Room 9 should still be with you, right?"
"Yes."
The receptionist quickly picked up the jingling roulette wheel on her waist and found three identical keys.
Perhaps he was worried that others would doubt him, so he hurriedly said: "I never left these keys all day yesterday, nor did I lend them to anyone."
Shi Yajing asked in a low voice: "Could it be that someone stole the spare key to Room 9 earlier and made a replica?"
"Probably not."
Su Xinghuo shook his head, "Look at the half of the alarm talisman stuck to the door frame.
Yuan Jia has always been worried that someone will copy the key to his room, so every time before going out, he will glue an alarm talisman on the door frame.
That way he'll know when someone breaks in."
