The Whispering Verses Chapter 2126: Inference
Chapter 2126 Reasoning
Miss Malone's story ended here. Shade blinked, feeling like he was listening to some **** novel. Miss Malone's face was already flushed as if she was about to bleed, but Miss Theresa, who was clinging to Shade, seemed to be very interested in this:
"You said you didn't steal anything, so did the beautiful girl with you steal anything?"
"Of course it's impossible, she's been with me all the time!"
"I think what Miss Teresa means is, is that blue-eyed girl really the owner of that room?"
Professor Evans asked on the side, and the maid Miss Maxim also nodded:
"Jewelry boxes, clothes, notebooks, drawing boards, dressing tables, it is said that these things have been touched in the room of the lady who lost the items. Isn't this you? The lady who lost the items was traveling alone, there will be no My companion is in the room. It shouldn’t be a coincidence that the two rooms in the first-class cabin are equipped with the same thing.”
Miss Malone pursed her lips. Although she was the only ordinary person, she was still very stubborn:
"She can't be a thief!"
Xia De then asked:
"Speaking of which, what is the name of the girl with blue eyes and golden hair?"
Miss Malone was startled, then lowered her head:
"I don't know."
"What?"
Miss Teresa, who was holding Shade’s arm, was puzzled, then blushed and said:
"So what did you call her when you were dating?"
"Sweetheart."
After speaking, he looked at Shade again:
"The matter between me and her has nothing to do with the sinking of the 'Brilliant Messenger'. I am sure of this. We were together the night the ship sank. Why are you forcing me so?"
Xia De does not have a hobby of forcing others to reveal their privacy:
"Based on the current situation, it can be assumed that you have nothing to do with the sinking of the Radiant Messenger. Now let's get back to the topic, ladies."
Miss Teresa, Miss Maxim and Professor Evans all had no objections. The professor even comforted the sobbing Miss Malone, while the latter still looked at Shade with red eyes:
"You promised, I answered your question, you have to protect me on this sea."
Hearing this, Miss Theresa immediately grabbed Shade's hand. Xia De nodded again:
"Of course, I promised, I am honored by my honesty, this is an honor. But please allow me to ask the last question, have you heard of this name - Angel Elisetris."
The girl described by Miss Malone had blond hair and blue eyes, which was different from the girl with black hair and blue eyes that Shade encountered in the Moon Bay of the Sixth Era. But for the extraordinary, changing hair color is a simple matter.
The four ladies all shook their heads. Shade was just trying to ask, so he didn't have high expectations. I wasn't disappointed at this time, but after spending all this time, apart from hearing Miss Malone's private past, I didn't seem to get any other information.
"What I just said is the truth!"
Miss Malone's voice attracted Shade's attention again. She pinched the corner of her skirt and seemed to be in a better state of mind:
"It's true that we saw the first mate and the captain moving things together on the ship, we really saw it. Although I did use this topic to divert your attention just now, this information is not wrong."
Seeing everyone looking at her, she blushed again:
"And not only that, we also encountered a lot of strange things that night.
During dinner, a sneaky sailor entered the kitchen where everyone was busy. He was wearing a chef's clothes but was definitely not a chef; in the steam engine room at the bottom of the ship, we saw someone painted strange patterns on the wall; on the ship There are fewer guards in the casino tonight than on any night since setting sail; there is also the ship's theater, and the boatswain who used to go to watch the show every night did not appear tonight. ”
"You guys really went to a lot of places."
Xia De sighed, and then was glared at by the blushing girl.
"So, the captain, first mate and boatswain were plotting something on the night the ship sank, and some of the guards on the ship were their accomplices; someone entered the kitchen and seemed to want to poison the food. Wait, only The four of you survived because of this."
Xia De looked at the four ladies:
"Miss Theresa, Miss Maxim, and Professor Evans, you are witches, and your resistance to drugs is much stronger than ordinary people. As for Miss Malone, you didn't eat at night, so it's okay. But you didn't eat at night. Are you the only one eating that meal? Isn’t that reasonable?”
"No, that makes sense."
Miss Maxim, the maid, said:
"In order to celebrate the halfway point of the journey that night, both the first-class and lower-class dinners were sumptuous, and free ice cream was provided. The sailors also specifically informed that there would be a performance during the dinner. As far as I know, that night Most of the passengers went to the restaurant, and there were probably only a few dozen people who didn't go. Jumping off the ship and escaping also required luck. Among the dozens of people who didn't eat dinner, only Miss Malone survived. This is reasonable in terms of probability. ”
"So, what patterns did you see in the steam engine room? If you can't describe the specific appearance, please try to recall the details that you can remember clearly."
Professor Evans then asked Miss Malone. The professor wanted to use this to infer the purpose of the captain and his party, but unfortunately, as an ordinary person, Miss Malone did not pay much attention to those patterns at the time:
"It was dark in the cabin and I was busy apologizing."
The clues seem to be interrupted again here, but at least Shade already knows the direction of the investigation. Besides, he still had an intelligence source that he didn’t use:
"I don't have much time, so I will continue to use the items you provided to try fishing. Maybe the gods will take note of my hard work and give me some tips."
He held Miss Teresa’s hand and looked at the remaining three ladies:
"When I go fishing with the items related to childhood wishes you provided, I can see some of your memory fragments, and maybe I can dig out some useful information that you are not aware of. I will go fishing first. Miss Maxime, followed by"
Professor Evans didn't care about the order. She was still thinking about the information just now. Miss Malone said timidly:
"Can you put me last?"
"Why?"
"Last time, Professor Evans and the maid lady provided you with their past regrets. I lost part of my memory and was unable to give you this information, so if you try to catch me, you may encounter difficulties. Please give me time to think about it."
She said this, and Shade then asked:
"So what is the truth?"
"Well, I'm not ready yet for you to see the scene when I dated her. Please give me some more time. I promise that I will try to remember the night when the ship sank. Please put me there. Finally, please."
"I know."
Shad glanced at her, then nodded slightly. The young blond witch on the side was a little surprised. After all, in her opinion, the memory of Miss Malone, an ordinary person, might be the most valuable among the remaining three. But since it was Shade who made the decision, she would not raise any objection.
The item Miss Maxim gave last time was her mother's earrings. The woman who had been bedridden for a long time gave her daughter the jewelry passed down by her mother in advance because she was worried that she would not be able to see her daughter get married; Evans The professor's item is an alchemy ring, which was a gift from her former mentor.
These items were still with God, and when Shade said goodbye to the ladies and planned to go fishing, the other three ladies lowered their heads and seemed to have fallen asleep again, while Miss Theresa hesitated and actually followed. Shard:
"It's safer if I go with you."
"Meow~"
The cat with its little head exposed from Shade's chest meowed, looked at "Miss Malone" again, sniffed with its little nose, and smelled a familiar smell. But Shade didn't notice little Mia's actions, after all, the cat couldn't speak.
So Miss Teresa grabbed the hem of Shade's clothes and moved to the edge of the floating board with Shade, half squatting and half crawling. As he got closer to the **** again, the afterglow of divinity also lit up on Shade's body and even his clothes again. Those lights made Miss Theresa feel at ease.
"God, please allow me to explain my speculations about the sinking of the Radiant Messenger."
But before taking over the fishing rod, Shade still made a try:
"The captain, first mate and others sacrificed a boatload of people in an attempt to summon and control the evil creature in the deep sea - the Seven-Tailed Player."
This is the most likely conclusion based on the current intelligence, and the child-like **** glanced at the little cat head on Shade's chest, then asked him with a smile:
"What about the evidence?"
"Well, do you still need evidence?"
"Otherwise, if you don't do anything and just keep talking about various possibilities here, wouldn't it be more convenient than using various means to collect information?"
As he spoke, God handed the fishing rod in his hand to Shade, along with Miss Maxim's pair of earrings. The cat immediately stretched out its claws from Shade's clothes, but Shade immediately slapped them away. The expression on the god's face remained unchanged, and when Shade took over the items, he immediately withdrew his hand.
Miss Teresa carefully hid behind Shad and helped Shad pass fishing line through the earrings and tie them up. Shade hesitated for a moment before asking again:
"Oh God, what did you catch while fishing here?"
Actually, he thought God probably didn't catch anything, because there wasn't anything extra around. But unexpectedly, the **** smiled and grabbed three colorful bubbles from the darkness in front of him. On the surface of the lightless sea that suppressed the light, the light of those bubbles was even more colorful than the golden afterglow on Shade's body. Even brighter.
"Look, this is what I got."
?Introduced to Shade in a showy tone:
"This is a childhood dream. It is the most beautiful thing transformed from the expectations and best memories of childhood by the dead who sleep forever in this sea."
