Aleg walked out of the morgue with an expressionless face. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking, but the officials who received him knew that no one who had seen that scene would feel very comfortable.
So everyone remained silent and walked all the way to a conference room specially opened for them in the hospital.
It wasn't until someone placed a cup of tea in front of Aleg that the silence was broken.
Aleg said thank you, picked up the water glass, put it to his mouth, and put it back on the table.
"Are the two survivors in the same condition as those people?"
"Yes, the two of them were just lucky enough to persist in our rescue. Even if the others were not bitten to death on the spot, they bled to death from excessive blood loss. Well, please introduce the detailed situation to Chief Aleg."
A clerk dressed as a clerk came forward from behind the crowd and put down a notebook facing Aleg.
"This is a cross-sectional view of an archaeological ship. The floor below the deck is where the crew and the archaeological team live. The largest room is the canteen on the ship. Almost all the bodies of the victims were found here. They
It seems that there was a... chaotic fight in the cafeteria."
Aleg noticed that when the secretary talked about the fight, his expression was obviously unnatural, as if he was feeling sick to his stomach.
But this is normal. It is amazing that ordinary people can see that scene and give a report to everyone here.
"Almost? Were the bodies found elsewhere?"
"Yes." The clerk clicked on the upper and lower parts of the ship. "We found the bodies of archaeological team member Ina and captain Dam in the vacant warehouse at the bottom of the ship. Then we found the deputy captain of the archaeological team in the captain's cabin.
Ekman's body."
"The cause of their death should be different from others, right?" Aleg guessed, but his tone wanted to be sure.
"Yes, the cause of Ina's death was a severe blow to the back of her head. The forensic test results are more likely to suggest that she hit her head after falling, but it is impossible to determine whether it was man-made or an accident. Captain Dam was undoubtedly killed by suffocation.
After checking his bedroom, we believe that he died in his room after someone covered his mouth and nose with a quilt. As for Deputy Captain Aikman, he also had scratches on his body, scraps and blood remaining from his fingernails.
Judging from the scabs, he scratched them himself. But those were minor injuries. What really led to Aikman's death was that his neck was cut open with a knife."
At the end, the clerk added: "It is worth mentioning that, based on the corpses, it is inferred that the death time of these three people was before the others, and each was half a day to a day apart. First it was Ina, and then
It’s Damm, and finally Aikman.”
Before Aleg could express his opinion, an official from Chaz said angrily: "This must have been done by the bad guys in armor, and it was also the murderer among them. This case is similar to the Famata incident.
It’s exactly the same! Everyone is dead, except for a few who are still insane.”
Others also feel that this is the truth, otherwise there is no explanation why the survivors would mention the name of the armored weirdo.
Aleg asked: "Did the two survivors say anything useful other than the armored monster?"
It's exactly the same, they were the ones who killed the people of Famata!
The secretary shook his head: "No, they couldn't answer our questions at all. They kept talking nonsense and it was hard to understand what they were saying. Did a nurse accidentally hear the armored weirdo from their mouths?"
"What about the underwater ruins? Is there any news?" Aleg asked another confusing question.
"No, we searched for a long time in the sea area near the coordinates mentioned by the archaeological team leader Wald, but we did not find the so-called undersea ruins. Obviously Wald said in the message that it was a large-scale city ruins. And it is even more strange.
Yes, we did find a large number of cultural relics and fossils on the ship, which shows that the ruins do exist."
Aleg fell into deep thought. The ruins really existed but could not be found. With the professionalism of the archaeological team, he would not ask whether they had mistaken the coordinates. There could only be other reasons.
A representative of the Koti Kingdom said: "Sir Aleg, the issue of the ruins should not be the focus now. Since some survivors mentioned the armored weirdo, it means that he must be related to the case. I think the murderer must be him, not the archaeologist.
There's no reason anyone on the team would pronounce his name."
Another person also echoed: "Yes, he must have done it. He is one of the murderers in the armored monster!"
Aleg knew very well that the so-called murderer did not exist at all. This was a wrong analysis made by the outside world based on wrong information provided by their World Parliament, so he replied: "No, I don't think this was done by the armored weirdo. According to
From what I knew about him in the past, the armored monster always solves his crimes quickly, never taking more than a day. But this person just said that the death time of the first three deceased was between half a day and a day across servers. This is not in line with the armored monster's habits. At least this time
He did not kill the three people."
Several officials looked at each other. They did not expect that people from the World Parliament would take the initiative to excuse the armored weirdo. At this time, wouldn't it be better to try to find someone to put the blame on? This way the media and the public will not think they are incompetent.
Someone said: "Sir Aleg, even if the first three people were not killed by the armored weirdo, then he probably did the people behind them!"
Aleg did not answer directly, but moved the notebook on the table in front of him and carefully checked the information of the first three deceased people.
"Then this raises a question, who were the three Inadam Ekman killed? If it wasn't the armored monster, that means that before the armored monster arrived, there were three consecutive murders on the ship.
. We can assume the scene at that time. Three companions died in a row and the ship was unable to contact the outside world. The archaeological team at that time should have been very scared. Then something happened, maybe the armored monster came, or it could be something else.
The team members all started attacking each other like crazy, which eventually led to tragedy. I believe that the missing underwater ruins are the key to the case, and we must search vigorously."
After listening to Aleg's analysis, the officials didn't know how to express their opinions. Finally, a representative of the Kingdom of Koti asked: "We will send out maritime forces to search for them as much as possible, and the cultural relics that have been salvaged will be studied as soon as possible. It's just that
The top priority is, how should we announce this to the public? Who should we say is the murderer?"
Aleg pondered for a while and then said: "Allow me to ask the headquarters for instructions."
Everyone nodded.
Half a minute later, Aleg sighed and said calmly: "Hey, let's just say the murderer is the armored weirdo..."
Such a headless case happened again, and he had to lie to the outside world again.
