Li Kaiyang really didn't know this person named Li Song, and Li Song was not angry with him and told him in a persuasive way:
"Have you forgotten? You led the boys from the village to the Black Tiger Gang to cause trouble, and I was one of the thirty people. You don't know me, but I have a very deep impression of you."
After he reminded Li Kaiyang like this, he remembered that there was such a person. He was relatively old at the time. Li Kaiyang didn't remember clearly, so he remembered it after talking to him today. Li Kaiyang suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He had been with him for so long and remembered him, but he had no impression of him. This was really a bit sorry. So he nodded and smiled implicitly and said:
"I'm really sorry, brother. I was quite nervous at that time, so I can't remember the faces of more than thirty people very clearly. I hope you can understand this!"
Of course, Li Song didn't mind his reaction too much. He was unknown at the time and had no reason to be remembered. Li Kaiyang felt that the key was to deal with the basic issues at hand. Who killed a person here? Someone must come out to uphold justice. Fortunately, this man named Li Song was older and had rich sailing experience. , I just want him to host it for the time being. So Li Kaiyang solemnly said:
"Brother Li, since you have made the decision on this matter, I hope you can preside over this matter. You are an outsider who cannot doubt this matter, so it is most appropriate for you to preside over it. As for others, No one can escape the connection, and everyone, including me, must conduct comprehensive inquiries and inspections, and the real murderer must be brought to justice, and the blood and lives of the brothers must not be in vain."
When he got emotional, Li Kaiyang stood up angrily and pounded the table with his hands. Li Song came over, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Brother, don't be angry. No matter who kills the person, he will not be able to escape the law. Although there are more than twenty of us, there must be a rule. Even though we are together for a short period of time, we cannot let it become a lawless place."
Li Kaiyang frowned and asked everyone:
"You all express your opinions, who is the most suspicious!"
Xiaolan thought for a while and said:
"I think whoever didn't come today is more likely to be suspected. Among them are Li Kuan, Liu Changqing, Xiao Ning and the little beggar. Their suspicions are ranked first. Of course, if there are suspicions, it doesn't necessarily mean they are them. If four people didn't come, it's impossible to say that the four of them are together. Kill this person, so they have to investigate first, and the rest of the suspects come second. Every one of us has a possibility, and no one can escape the connection."
Xiaolan's analysis was clear and logical. No one stood up to object. Soon the people who were sent out brought the few people who hadn't arrived to the room. Li Kuan frowned when he saw it. He observed the situation of the deceased. , and then made a suggestion:
"I think he was stabbed to death with a dagger. Has anyone seen this dagger?"
Everyone came over to check the appearance of the dagger. Li Kaiyang also squatted down to observe carefully. Suddenly he really saw the clue. This dagger was not someone else's, but the one he had used before. It's just that this dagger is not used often and is not carried with him. Li Kaiyang only remembered this dagger after Li Kuan reminded him today.
"Hey! This dagger is mine. Who stole my dagger?"
Li Kaiyang made no secret of saying that the song he memorized was his own. Everyone looked at him with strange eyes, and his dagger was of course the most suspicious. Although he was very honest and did not hide the matter, everyone still looked at him.
Li Kaiyang stood up and shook his head and said:
"This is a frame-up, this is a naked frame-up. I definitely didn't kill anyone, let alone someone else took it from me. Don't you believe it?"
Someone stood up and said:
"You were the only one who didn't sleep in the warehouse last night. Where were you?"
The man who spoke was also one of the sailors. As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Qiuyan became unhappy:
"Don't be suspicious of people. Li Kaiyang slept on the deck last night. This person died in the cabin. It has nothing to do with him!"
"Who saw him coming on the deck? Can you testify?"
As soon as the person who asked the question finished speaking, Gu Xuejiao stood up and said:
"I can testify to him that he slept on the deck all night last night, because I woke up early and saw him still lying on the deck. I also said how could this man be so perseverant? It was so windy and cold on the deck. Later I said He woke up without saying anything and happened to see a few seabirds flying over in the sky."
Xiaolan also quickly helped and said:
"Don't worry, Li Kaiyang can't be the murderer! He is kind-hearted and has no moral issues at all. He has no motive for killing. Why would he kill this person? They have no grievances in the past and have no grievances in recent times, so don't I doubt him. Although the dagger inserted into this man’s body belongs to Li Kaiyang, someone else must have stolen his dagger. I think everyone should not unjustly accuse a good person, and of course they will not let a bad person go.”
Everyone calmed down immediately. What Xiaolan said made sense to them, so they all looked around to see who looked like the murderer. The little beggar was young, so why didn't he come over in time? Later, I heard his explanation that Xiao Ning had something to do with him while cooking, and he helped run errands back and forth, so he didn't come over in time.
As for Liu Changqing, he had to deal with some things in the warehouse, so he was delayed and did not come over in time. Li Kuan couldn't explain clearly, and there was no reason that he couldn't explain. He just stared at the dead body on the ground in a daze.
This case has plunged into anxiety, and everyone is at a loss to determine who is the real murderer. It seemed that this matter was going to go away. It was impossible for the twenty or so of them to be divided into mutual suspicions and suspicions because of this matter.
It's a pity that he can't speak to the body lying on the ground, otherwise he must know who his murderer is. The little beggar looked at Li Kaiyang with bright eyes and said nothing, as if he had something to say.
Li Kaiyang was smart enough to see his mood. He didn't say anything in front of so many people. After everyone let go, he found the little beggar and wanted to ask about the situation. When they met, Li Kaiyang got straight to the point:
"Dingyuan, I know you have something to say to me. What exactly do you want to say? There's no one around now. Please tell me!"
Ding Yuan shook his head and hesitated to speak. He seemed to have something on his mind but was too embarrassed to speak. After thinking for a long time, he said:
"Oh, it's like this. I didn't see who killed the person with my own hands, but I can tell you that I came back early yesterday and went back to the warehouse to sleep early. Then I heard another person also replying. After entering the warehouse, he seemed a little unhappy and muttered something to himself. I thought to myself, who is this? I will go out and have a look! When I went out, what I saw was Brother Li Kuan. He seemed to be a little mentally disturbed. He said a lot of things to himself. One of them worried me a lot. He said I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I hid it quickly after hearing this, so now I'm suspicious of that person. Does his death have something to do with him?"
When the little beggar said this, Li Kaiyang also frowned. He felt that the clue provided by Ding Yuan could not completely prove that Li Kuan was the murderer. But it is enough to prove that Li Kuan is closely related to this matter.
After getting this news, Li Kaiyang quickly found Xiaolan and Li Song. He repeated to them what the little beggar Ding Yuan said.
The two people discussed it and felt that Li Kuan's recent state was a bit outrageous, and they had to investigate him further.
So Xiaolan secretly sneaked into the room next to Li Kuan without telling anyone else, trying to find a hole in the room to see what he was doing. The nail in the hole where the mural happened to be hung could be pulled out and one could see what was going on in the other person's room. Xiaolan heard movement in Li Kuan's room as soon as she entered the room. She looked inside through the hole and saw Li Kuan talking to something outside through the porthole.
Xiaolan felt very strange. There was a vast sea outside the window. Who could Li Kuan talk to? Could he be talking to himself to the sea? Xiaolan knew that he didn't have such a problem before, but what was going on now? Was he really insane as people said?
There was indeed a vast sea outside the porthole. Xiaolan ignored one thing. There was nothing outside the window but there was something in the sea. They seemed to have forgotten what Li Kuan told them. The big thing said that after he died, his friends would come to find the ship. revenge.
Seeing Li Kuan's abnormal behavior, Xiaolan quickly told Li Kaiyang about the incident, and the two of them found Li Song together to discuss what the situation was.
Xiaolan said first:
"Through the small hole, I saw that his expression was a little strange. There was actually nothing outside the window, but he spoke as if there was someone outside. From this, I thought of the warning he gave us. The fish said when he was dying I said, after I die, my partners will come to destroy you, please think about whether this is related to it."
Li Kaiyang nodded and felt that what Xiaolan said made sense, and Li Song also agreed with his opinion. In this way, the three people reached a consensus that this person's death had the greatest relationship with Li Kuan. So they are going to control Li Kuan. No matter what the reason is, he is a dangerous person if he kills people. He cannot be allowed to make the same mistake again and again.
So several people discussed and called a few young sailors to Li Kuan's cabin to tie him up first.
When he pushed his door open, he found that it was locked inside. He called several times but no one opened the door. Li Song ordered someone to kick the door open. They were shocked the moment they opened the door. There was only a skeleton left in Li Kuan's house, and his clothes, shoes and hats were discarded aside. Everyone was shocked and shocked at the time. People had never seen such a miserable sight.
"What's going on? He seems to have been eaten by something!"
Xiaolan said incoherently.
Li Kaiyang smelled an unpleasant smell. He walked closer and pinched his nose to observe the skeleton. No one could prove that this skeleton belonged to Li Kuan. But where had Li Kuan gone? Where could he hide on this lonely ship?
The news that Li Kuan was eaten into a skeleton immediately spread throughout the ship, and people came to the cabin to watch. Some were in tears and some were surprised! It's more regret and sadness. Gu Xuejiao shook her head and said:
"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be! He is our leader, how could he become like this? How can our ship sail without him!"
Cheng Qiuyan said to him:
"Don't be discouraged, okay! Li Kuan is indeed an expert at sailing. Didn't he entrust him to someone when he went into the water? Although he is not as experienced as Li Kuan, he is not far behind! Besides, there is also Li Song , his abilities are not small, and he also knows a lot about the experience at sea. There are so many sailors and we can’t do anything!"
Cheng Qiuyan's words immediately encouraged Gu Xuejiao, and his discouragement immediately disappeared. At this time, the little beggar Ding Yuan squeezed in from the crowd. When he saw this skeleton, his eyes widened with fear.
"Oh my! It's so scary. What has been eaten? Is there any unknown creature on our ship? We must find it quickly, otherwise, no one will dare to rest assured of food and accommodation on this ship!"
What this little beggar said makes sense. It doesn't matter if you are about to die. The key is that the creature that killed him must be found. Everyone on the ship took action and went to various worlds to search. Whether it was the warehouse or every cabin, they searched everywhere.
Unfortunately, they found nothing and did not find what they wanted. After this search, everyone was relieved. Although Li Kuan's death was unclear, it was certain that there was nothing on the ship.
Finally, everyone came up with a way to hang a piece of pork in the house where Li Kuan lived to see what had eaten it.
Others were hiding in another house and observing through the hole. For three days in a row, the pork had not changed much, and nothing had entered his room. In the evening of this day, the rays of light filled the western sky. Then suddenly a bird landed on the porthole. There is no glass on the window of this shoe. Sometimes people just put a layer of cloth to block the wind. In order to let in the light, sometimes it is not white and transparent. There is nothing on the window of Li Kuan's cabin. The bird stood on the window for a while, then flew in and pecked at the piece of meat. Soon another bird flew in, and dozens of birds flew in through the window. Soon the piece of pork was eaten by them, and the birds flew away one after another.
The whole process lasted very briefly, and everyone who observed through the hole was stunned. They didn't know what the white bird was, and why they ate meat so fast, even more powerful than eagles on land. Everyone began to discuss whether these birds killed Li Kuan or not, which became the focus of discussion!
Li Kaiyang said:
"I don't think this bird is the real murderer. If it were a living person, how could this bird take advantage? If you put a piece of meat on it and it has no ability to resist, of course it will be eaten clean. If it is A living person would definitely pick up something to resist, and it is not difficult to deal with these birds, so I think Li Kuan’s death was not necessarily caused by these birds.”
