Chapter 767 The Murderer Is
"Based on the degree of rigor mortis, the time of death of the deceased should be between zero and two o'clock." After all, Lin Yi writes detective novels. When writing novels, he will consider every detail, so he has a good way of talking and doing things when he is actually on the battlefield.He examined Fang Qihai's body with gloves, meticulously and patiently, like a real detective.

Fang Qihai was lying on his back on the bed, his left hand was hanging down, his right hand made a "V" posture, his fingers were curled up, and his neck was tilted to one side.The strangle marks on his neck were clearly visible, but the entangled rope was gone, and the murderer must have lost the murder weapon long ago.

When Lin Yi was examining the corpse, Lu Yaoyao was observing everyone's reactions, asking who lived together and who had no witnesses.

The merchant ship is not too big, only the captain and the helmsman live in a separate room, and everyone else lives in twos.Among the passengers, only Fang Qihai and Bai Yanwei live alone, and Zhou Yanyan sleeps on the floor in the rooms of Lu Yaoyao and Lin Yi.

When Lu Yaoyao asked if they could guarantee their roommate that the other party would not go out of the cabin, the crew all looked very sure, when Lu Yaoyao asked in depth, two more people were not sure.Even the helmsman said that the captain actually went out once, but he only went out for 10 minutes, so it might be a little hasty to complete the murder.

When Lu Yaoyao's eyes turned to the captain again, the captain was completely annoyed: "If you accuse me of being a murderer again, I will throw you all off the boat!" The vast ocean is under the boat, and the captain added, "Throw you all away!" Back to Pearl Island."

It was an angry statement for everyone to be the captain. It wasn't until night that everyone saw the captain and the helmsman quarreling, and then they knew that the ship was really heading for Pearl Island.

"Are you crazy?" Zhou Yanyan couldn't believe it. All she wanted was to go home, and she was worried because of the successive murders on the boat. Now that the boat sailed back directly, wouldn't all her hardships along the way be in vain? ?What's more frightening is that she may not have the chance to leave Pearl Island again.

Lu Yaoyao was only surprised, why did the captain want to return to Pearl Island?The "cargo" he wanted has already been loaded on the ship, he just needs to drive these passengers off the ship and continue to do business... But this matter is beneficial to Lu Yaoyao, she wants to help the mermaids take back Pearl Island, it will never be possible Drown all the people on the island, just in time for the merchant ships to go back and pick up those residents.

Lin's eyes flashed slightly when he saw this. He always felt that something was wrong, but he had no evidence yet, so he didn't speak.

After all, this was the captain's ship. He really wanted to go back to Pearl Island. Other than complaining a few times, he wouldn't jump off the ship. However, the atmosphere at the dinner table was heavier than the series of murders.

Lu Yaoyao made up her mind to meet the captain and ask if he was the murderer who killed Fang Qihai.

After dinner, Lu Yaoyao came to the dining room - she wanted to get a kitchen knife or a fruit knife, she never thought that Lin Yi would also come.

"Why did you come here?" Usually no one came into the restaurant, but today was lucky, everyone came.

"Come and investigate." It was said that the two of them had acted together before, and they were busy with their own affairs after this morning. Lin Yi was still a little unaccustomed, "Why are you here?"

"Take a knife and defend yourself."

Lin Yi was stunned, and was quite surprised to see that Lu Yaoyao was not joking: "Okay...then you have to be careful, don't be regarded as premeditated murder..."

Lin Yi's jokes really lacked a sense of humor, Lu Yaoyao picked out the knife she was handy, and said without looking back, "That's not sure."

"..." Lin Yi really didn't know what to answer.

It happened that the chef also came in, and Lin Yi immediately went over to talk to him, not sure if it was to get rid of this embarrassing atmosphere.

The chef answered every question, but he couldn't help but glance at Lu Yaoyao, seeing that she was holding a fruit knife and was about to take it away, he immediately asked, "What are you doing?"

"Pick a knife to defend yourself."

"...This is a knife for cooking."

"But you have so many of them, so you don't have to worry if I don't have one... The knife on Zhao Shengyuan's body is from the kitchen. I don't think you care about such a knife."

"...Then at least wear a knife sheath. The boat is bumpy and you can easily hurt yourself."

Lu Yaoyao raised her eyebrows and took the knife sheath, saying, "Thank you then."

After Lu Yaoyao went out, she didn't leave after thinking about it, but waited for Lin Yi.As soon as Lin came out, she was a little surprised, and Lu Yaoyao said directly: "Did you get the information you want to know?"

"Almost." Lin nodded, "I think I guessed who the murderer is."

"Huh?" The reason why Lu Yaoyao didn't care so much about the case was because she planned to use force to coerce the captain and ask the result directly.The so-called picture is poor, Lu Yaoyao has chosen all the knives.

"It's Professor Bai."

"Are you serious?" Lu Yaoyao was a little surprised. Bai Yanwei helped the captain kill people before to get the opportunity to study mermaids, so what is it for this time?
"I just used the method of elimination. Anyone who writes novels knows that the most obvious person is usually not the murderer... Ahem, in a word, since we can't find the motive for the crime in these cases, let's just look at who has the ability to commit the crime That's enough. I made assumptions for everyone who didn't have an alibi, and found that even Professor Bai, who was the least likely to commit the crime, could successfully kill someone."

"Well...then you are really guessing." Lu Yaoyao said with vacant eyes.However, as a person who was going to use force to solve the case, Lu Yaoyao felt a little guilty when she said this.

"Anyway, if Professor Bai killed someone, he would definitely have to knock him out. After all, strangling someone is hard work. If Fang Qihai could struggle violently, we would have heard the sound."

"Then what did you find out?"

"Professor Bai is a biologist, more precisely a marine biologist... I learned from Mr. Chef that for professional reasons, Professor Bai was very curious about the fish they caught, and even once pointed out a species The rare fish were poisonous, which helped the chef a lot. After that, Professor Bai often went in and out of the kitchen, until one time they accidentally caught a sea snake, and Professor Bai volunteered to throw the sea snake back into the sea... The last time he fished... It happened three days ago.”

Lu Yaoyao's complexion changed: "You mean that Professor Bai used a sea snake to make Fang Qihai unconscious?"

"Almost all sea snakes are venomous, and the pain is very mild when biting people, and the wound is small, so it is often ignored. Sea snake venom is a neurotoxin. If Fang Qihai is poisoned and doesn't know it, he goes to bed instead... that kind of poisoning When the symptoms are more obvious, the respiratory depression and other symptoms will be very strong, if Professor Bai strangles someone to death at this time, the resistance he will receive will be very small."

"Then did you find any wounds on the body?"

"I'm going now." Lu Yaoyao and Lin looked at each other, and rushed to the room of the deceased Fang Qihai.
