Renne soon saw the body of the first deceased. As the guard said, the female team member named Ina had no other obvious injuries on her body. The cause of death was a hit on the back of the head.
Ren looked at it for a long time and found that he was really not suitable for this job. He could tell that the deceased was in good shape and there were no other useful clues.
However, Haft said from the side: "When we found Miss Ina, she fell next to the railing on the deck. At first, everyone speculated that it might be because the ship was rocking and bumping, and Miss Ina failed to stand firm, and she fell and hit her head.
On the railing, it was an accident. But after Captain Dam was killed, we realized that Miss Ina might not have died in an accident."
Renn pretended to think for a while, and then confidently said to Haft: "I already know what's going on here, let's go see Captain Dam."
Haft looked at Renn in confusion, wondering what he was counting, but now that he was under the eaves, he could only listen to Renn's arrangement and take him to the next room to check on Captain Dam's body.
Dam was a tall, strong, middle-aged man. Ren searched his body for a long time but could not find any wounds. Moreover, with his limited knowledge, he could not judge how Dam died from the condition of the body.
In the end, Haft couldn't stand it anymore and explained to him: "Captain Dam died in his room. He was suffocated with a quilt."
Renn nodded: "Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought."
Haft: “…..”
"Now that we have seen both corpses, is that enough? Can you tell who the murderer is now?"
Renn left the body and took the lead to walk out: "Don't worry, let's get ready for the court session. Is there anywhere I can sit?"
"Then go to the dining room, where everyone can sit down."
The others no longer wanted to stay in this place. When Haft said this, they all rushed to the dining room on the upper level.
The dining room was originally divided into tables for six, but because of a murder case, Wald asked everyone to gather during the day, so everyone put the tables together.
Fortunately, now Ren can sit in a circle with the people on the boat and discuss the murderer's problem.
After everyone sat down, Haft looked at Ren, who was sitting in the chief position: "Okay, now you can tell us what you plan to do. But I must make it clear that if you have no evidence to frame any of us at will,
No matter what, I will protect my companions even if I die."
Ren shrugged, noncommittal.
"Well, the trial has officially begun. Before I explain who the murderer is, I still need to ask a few last questions and do a small thing."
"What little thing?"
Ren leaned forward slightly and leaned on the table, causing everyone to feel a burst of pressure: "I hope someone can provide me with a weapon."
Haft's body tensed up, and he subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"You, what do you want a weapon for?"
Seeing that everyone was worried, Renn waved his hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't do anything. I just want to keep the weapon just in case. If I ask questions later, let me see it."
Whoever comes out to be lying or hiding the truth, I will chop off his head."
After Ren finished speaking, everyone became even more frightened.
Walder said tremblingly: "Didn't you say you wanted to be a judge? No judge would do that!"
Ren said nonchalantly: "It's okay if you don't give it to me. At worst, I'll get it myself. Oh, let's do this. If anyone is willing to give me the weapon, it means that he probably has a clear conscience, which will greatly reduce my feelings for him.
Doubtful~"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
........
As soon as Ren finished speaking, more than a dozen weapons were slapped on the table.
"I have!"
Everyone spoke one after another, and then looked at the people around them with embarrassed expressions.
Ren glanced at the table and found that there were all kinds of weapons.
Most of Haft's guards carry standard long swords. The sailors on the ship have swords, sticks and axes. The most bizarre ones are the members of the expedition team. They have all kinds of kitchen knives and forks. Even Walder, who was opposed just now,
, and also took out a small table knife from behind his back.
It is estimated that someone died on the ship in the past two days, so he secretly sneaked it from the kitchen to use it for self-defense.
Haft silently inserted the half-drawn sword back under the table, and looked at Walder in disbelief: "Walder, why, how come it's even you!"
Walder lowered his head and said awkwardly: "It's just...for self-defense."
Renn finally picked a guard's long sword and placed the sword on his right hand, where it could be reached at any time.
"Very good, everyone's attitude is good. I remember the people who just took out their weapons. Your suspicion in my mind has been reduced!"
The others silently took their weapons back. From their expressions, it was not clear whether Ren's words made them more relaxed or more nervous.
Haft was probably angry that he was not as fast as others, and his expression was ugly. He looked at Ren and said, "You also have weapons, can you start now?"
"Well, now I'm going to ask a few questions about the case, and I hope everyone will answer them truthfully." As he spoke, Ren glanced at the long sword on the table with a vague look.
"Let's start with Miss Ina. I want to ask now, do any of you have any grudges or conflicts with Miss Ina?"
When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads and said nothing.
Ren was not in a hurry and just waited.
Finally, Wald stood up and said tremblingly: "Ina is a member of our expedition team. In our team, everyone has a very good relationship, just like a family. There are no major conflicts."
"Didn't you lie to me?"
Walder quickly shook his head: "Absolutely not."
Others also shook their heads, indicating that they had no quarrel with Ina.
"Okay, I believe you. Second question, who among you has the best relationship with Miss Ina?"
No one spoke for a long time, and Ren was still waiting slowly.
Haft couldn't stand it anymore and asked: "Does this question have any meaning?"
"Of course there is. According to my many years of experience in watching movies, the murderer is usually either the enemy of the deceased or the person closest to the deceased."
Haft said angrily: "This is simply nonsense!"
"Then don't worry about it. Just tell me who has the closest relationship with the deceased, and I will make my own judgment."
"you!"
Haft stopped talking, and finally Walder answered: "Actually, we are just an ordinary expedition team. We just explore together. How good our relationship is, it's not that good."
"...."
"...."
Everyone, including Renn, looked at Walder.
"Mr. Walder, did you just say that you are as close as one family?"
