Doctor entering the police gate

Chapter 63 The Pool Murder
"It has nothing to do with where the cloth is made, but it has to do with the knot that was tied up." Yang Wenbin said, wrapping the cloth in his hand around the corpse's ankle, tied it up again, and shared the tied result with the people around him. Look, "Is this exactly the same as the knot you just saw?"

Several people nodded.

"That's very strange." Yang Wenbin stretched out his hands innocently, "I was facing the knot tied by Miss Zhu, how could it be the same knot as when I found her?"

Yan Junli immediately noticed something was wrong: "Indeed, if Ms. Zhu tied it up by herself, the direction of the knot should be exactly the opposite."

Yang Wenbin nodded, then lowered his body, and carefully raised the head of the corpse: "Look at the back of the corpse's head, although it has been washed by sea water, there are still obvious traces of blunt blows, which obviously cannot be Ms. Zhu made it herself. And look at her nails." Yang Wenbin held up Zhu Bairong's palm again, "There are some debris in the nails, I guess it's paint or wall powder, it should be from the struggle with the gangsters. He was caught. So it seems that Zhu Bairong's death was a homicide."

As soon as Yang Wenbin's conclusion fell, the surrounding immediately became uneasy.

"What, he killed him?"

"Who the hell is..."

"It was her! She must have killed Bai Rong!" As soon as Zhu Zhixin heard the conclusion of the homicide, he lost control and stood up, pointing at Luo Yan and yelling, "It must be because he had a grudge after he was exposed for stealing the necklace. Find a chance to kill Bai Rong!"

"What? I, how could I kill someone!" Luo Yan jumped up suddenly, and said in a panic, "I, I am a thief at most, didn't I return the things to you long ago? Don't frame me, I didn't kill anyone! As for the murderer, didn't the fat uncle over there keep cursing, saying that Zhu Bairong might as well be drowned in the sea!" Luo Yan immediately pointed at Zhu Haoran and said.

"Wh... husband, did you really say such a thing?" Mao Yingqin looked at Zhu Haoran in disbelief.

"I, I didn't! I never said such a thing!" Zhu Haoran immediately said in horror, "How could I kill Bai Rong, it wasn't me, it wasn't me!"

"Nonsense! I clearly heard you say that with my own ears!" Luo Yan was still relentless.

"Okay, everyone, calm down!" Yin Mingxu had no choice but to jump out to save the scene, and pulled a few people away from the corpses, "Let's deal with it here, everyone, go back to the hotel and have a rest, so that everyone will be suspicious of each other It doesn't make any sense either."

"Yes, let's go back to the hotel first." Yang Wenbin also stood up and put the white cloth over the body again, "Yan Junli and I will definitely find the murderer as soon as possible."

The sun shines on the beach, and the tropical plants are particularly vibrant against the sun. No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a very beautiful and leisurely island. It's a pity that there are no tourists on board the Queen. There is also interest in playing.

"What do you think about Zhu Bairong's matter?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"Me?" Yan Junli thought for a while and said, "It's weird. You know, it has nothing to do with whether the necklace is cursed or not. I mean, Zhu Bairong died for no reason."

Yang Wenbin nodded: "Although Zhu Bairong has some conflicts with her relatives because of the necklace, I don't think they will kill her because of such a trivial matter. So is Luo Yan. Although it is shameful to be exposed and slapped, but should It's not likely to be murderous. Most importantly, judging from the wound on the back of Zhu Bairong's head, the murderer should be at least a big man taller than 1.8 meters, and among us..." Yang Wenbin looked at Yan Junli, innocent He said, "Only you are over 1.8 meters tall."

Yan Junli said helplessly: "This joke is not funny."

"Then, could the prisoner covet the Zhu family's money and murder him?" Yin Mingxu asked.

Yang Wenbin thought for a while, then shook his head: "Probably not. If you want to make money, Zhu Bairong is just a young lady, and his uncle Zhu Haoran has much more valuable things."

"Then... what other motives do you have?" Yin Mingxu didn't know what to do, with a bitter face.

"Let's go back to the boat again. I'm more concerned about something." Yang Wenbin said.

Yan Junli nodded: "Okay."

"It's so strange..." Yang Wenbin muttered to himself while stroking the railing on the deck.

"What's wrong?" Yan Junli walked to Yang Wenbin's side.

"There are no traces of struggle around here." Yang Wenbin said, "It stands to reason that Zhu Bairong's body showed that she had struggled violently before her death, so there should be more or less traces here. Could it be that this is not where the crime took place?" on site?"

"But this is the only place on the ship that is most suitable for dumping corpses." Yan Junli put his hands on the railing and looked down, "And we also found Zhu Bairong's cat from here."

"Speaking of cats." Yang Wenbin said suddenly, "When we found that cat, was it shrunk all over in a corner?"

"Yeah, like a drowned rat." Yan Junli nodded.

"I see." Yang Wenbin left the deck after leaving these words, and walked straight into the cabin.

"What's wrong with Mr. Yang?" Yin Mingxu was puzzled.

"He often does that, just follow up and have a look." Yan Junli said helplessly.

Yang Wenbin made several turns between the corridor and the stairs, and finally came to the front of the swimming pool.The water in the swimming pool was crystal clear, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.Yang Wenbin walked around the swimming pool first, then squatted down to examine things carefully, and finally smiled.

"I guessed right."

"What do you understand again, tell me?" Yan Junli leaned over.

"That cat." Yang Wenbin said, "I thought it was weird at first, how did its fur get wet? It hasn't rained in the past two days. If it was thrown overboard while fighting with a murderer, it would be so tall. No matter how much it knows how to climb trees, it can’t climb up. So I thought, maybe the water on the cat’s body has nothing to do with the sea water, but the water in the swimming pool on the boat.”

"You mean, Zhu Bairong was killed here?" Yan Junli asked.

Yang Wenbin nodded.

"But, but, how would the murderer kill in a public place like a swimming pool? There should be many tourists around, right?" Yin Mingxu asked.

Yang Wenbin frowned, looked at Yin Mingxu, and said, "But all cruise ships will close their swimming pools two or three hours before they leave the shore, as you know. And when Zhu Bairong started to disappear, it happened to be two or three hours before the ship stopped. About an hour. Although I don't know how she got into the swimming pool, but the scene of the first crime is undoubtedly here. The murderer may be her friend or other acquaintance, who escaped the inspection of the flight attendants and ran into the swimming pool area. You Come and see here."

Yang Wenbin squatted down, stroking the surrounding railings and the tiles of the swimming pool with his fingertips: "The fence around the swimming pool is freshly painted, but a few parts have been picked off, and it is the same as what we saw just now under Zhu Bairong's fingernails." It's like white powder. And the tiles here also have traces of being hit by heavy objects. I'm afraid the murderer missed a single blow and hit the tiles by mistake, cracking a crack. Moreover, the murder weapon is lying there. "

Yan Junli and Yin Mingxu immediately followed Yang Wenbin's gaze, and sure enough, there was a heavy wrench lying on the ground not far away.

Yan Junli walked over and picked up the wrench and looked carefully: "There is still blood on it."

Yang Wenbin nodded and stood up from the edge of the swimming pool: "Besides, my previous assumption that the murderer is over 1.8 meters tall is not true. Judging from these traces, it is very likely that Zhu Bairong was sitting by the pool, while the murderer was standing She put her hands behind her. If so, the murderer's height would be 'raised' a lot due to the posture."

Yang Wenbin took a few steps back and looked around: "After the prisoner killed or knocked Zhu Bairong unconscious by the swimming pool, Zhu Bairong fell into the water, and even her cat fell into the water. Then the murderer threw the murder weapon aside and dragged With the dead body... come here."

Yang Wenbin stood back all the way to the edge of the swimming pool, raised his head and smiled.The swimming pool is open-air, and when it reaches the edge, it is almost as high as on the bow deck.

"People with a little strength can throw the corpse out from here. The outside is directly connected to the sea outside, and people in other rooms will not see it." Yang Wenbin pointed to the ship plank above his head. It can be seen that there is a little bit of blood, "and it seems that our murderer abandoned the body in a hurry, and the scene was not cleaned up."

"As expected of Mr. Yang." Yin Mingxu said in amazement, "The deduction is just like a movie!"

Yang Wenbin smiled shyly: "It's not that powerful, it's just observation."

"Okay, this solves a puzzle." Yan Junli said with a relaxed tone, "Detective, what should we do next?"

Yang Wenbin said succinctly: "Go to Zhu Bairong's room and take a look."

Yin Mingxu nodded and said, "Come with me, I'll go to the office."

Yin Mingxu's office is not too big, and the inside is very tidy. There are several books and water glasses on the right hand side of the desktop.Yin Mingxu opened the drawer on the left, and quickly found a key from a bunch of keys.

"Yes, here is the key to Zhu Bairong's room."

But when the three of them opened Zhu Bairong's room and stood outside the door, they were all stunned.

This is completely different from the neat appearance when Zhu Bairong's necklace was stolen last time, the whole room was turned into a mess.Not only Zhu Bairong's personal belongings were thrown everywhere, but even the utensils equipped on the ship were messed up.The quilt was thrown on the floor, all the drawers were opened, and cosmetics, jewelry, and luggage were all scattered everywhere.
