Chapter 2356 2368 [Yuanzi Brand Translator]
Mrs. Xiangshan and the tour guide were stunned when they heard this. They stared at each other blankly. The next moment, the tour guide reacted first: "The box is not with me. I can't use it even if I want to. And what good will it do me if someone dies? - I am a staff member of the travel agency and I am not on the random distribution list of membership coupons. Instead, Mrs. Xiangshan kept talking about the two lifetime membership coupons all the way..."
Mrs. Xiangshan followed closely: "My box is still in the house! And there must be many other boxes and cans in the kitchen. You may have used other things to cross the river! Besides, let's talk..."
She looked out the window, listening to the sound of water from afar, her body trembling a little: "Besides, I'm very afraid of water. If it's just passing by from a distance, it's okay, but if I float in the water, it would be better to kill me! - Normally, I only use running water to wash my face, and I dare not even touch the bathtub. There is no way I can go through that water route to kill someone!"
“…”
Her fear didn't seem fake, and it was easy to tell whether the box had been wet. For a moment, everyone's suspicion of her was reduced.
"Speaking of membership vouchers..." Hattori Heiji frowned and looked at Vodka and "Doctor Shinide". "Could the murderer really have killed so many people just for those two membership vouchers?"
Vodka: "..." Although your suspicion is reasonable, why are you looking at me when saying these words?
...As expected, if you stay with Uzo for a long time, you will unconsciously run to target Uzo. Humph, stupid Kansai detective, you didn't even realize that you were being used as a gun by a brutal criminal. With this level of sensitivity, sooner or later you will also make a bloody curtain call on the stage.
…
Although Mrs. Xiangshan was no longer the main suspect, she had obviously not yet recovered from the emotion of being targeted, so she paid much more attention to the case than before.
Hearing Hattori Heiji's words at this time, she couldn't help but mutter: "What else could the murderer's motive be if not the membership voucher? You guys really underestimate its value!"
Hattori Heiji shook his head: "No matter how valuable it is, it can't be so great that it would make people do such a cruel thing. Otherwise, if the murderer dared to commit serial murders, why didn't he just rob a bank? The profit from that would be much higher than eating and staying at a resort."
"Based on my experience, there must be some hidden story behind this incident. The murdered person may have had some kind of connection with the murderer, but we don't know what it is yet..."
As he was talking, Hattori Heiji's eyes suddenly lit up and he realized something.
"Oh, right!" He looked expectantly at Mrs. Xiangshan, the doctor, and the tour guide: "You are also invited to the holiday resort. Do you want to think carefully about the murderer's motive?"
Mrs. Xiangshan was puzzled: "The murderer's motive? How would I know such a thing?"
Suzuki Sonoko understood, and she helped translate: "It's like there were some events one year ago, three years ago, or five years ago that people don't want to talk about again. If not, well... then it's twenty years!"
Vodka: “…” How many of Uzo’s scripts has this guy read? He has completely mastered them!
Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha also seemed to understand.
Compared to them, the other resort experiencers reacted much slower. The three of them looked confused: "What a mess..."
Seeing that they were still confused, Jiang Xia was not in a hurry. He looked down at the painter on the ground and said, "Send Mr. Xiaolin back first. Let's talk after we have dinner."
…
After dinner, there was a certain buffer and the emotions of several people became much calmer.
Hattori Heiji discussed it with Jiangxia, and then carefully separated out an empty room next to the living room and asked people one by one.
The first person to be dragged into the house was the tour guide who had spilled the flour deliberately.
Of course, there are other reasons besides this.
"You are the leader and person in charge of this resort experience activity. You should know more information than other people who have experienced it."
Jiang Xia flipped through the notebook he was holding for sample reading: "The identities of the participants this time are different, and their occupations vary greatly - what criteria were used to select them?"
Tour guide Jiujo pushed his glasses up nervously. "Our travel agency is owned by the Tono Group, which developed the Lake Sad Love Resort. Because of this relationship, the experiencers are selected by lottery from the past customers of the travel agency."
Hattori Heiji looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly asked: "You knew there was a boat by the lake, why didn't you tell us? - You know, if we had sailed that boat out to ask for help on the first day, we might have caught the murderer by surprise, and everyone could have survived."
"As you can see, the boat is very small and can only carry one or two people at most." The tour guide looked embarrassed. "And I am the person in charge of this experience activity. If someone must take the boat to go out for help, I will definitely be the first choice. But, but I don't want to take the boat..."
…
After the tour guide left the stage, the next person to be asked was Mrs. Xiangshan.
Jiang Xia: "Tour guide Jiujiao said that you have signed up for a tour with their travel agency before?"
"Yes." Mrs. Xiangshan lit a cigarette and cursed as she smoked. "Last time I signed up for their hotel, I encountered a shipwreck. This time when I participated in their experience activity, I encountered a serial murder case... What kind of disaster hotel is this! Next time, even if they kneel down and beg me with hundreds of millions of cash, I will never board this pirate ship again!"
Jiang Xia paused with the pen tip suspended on his notebook, and wrote down the name of the travel agency as if nothing had happened. Then he continued to ask, "'The last shipwreck'? What exactly happened?"
Mrs. Xiangshan sighed, her hands shaking a little: "Didn't I just say that I am afraid of water? I got my hydrophobia during that trip. I was sleeping in the cabin at the time, and was awakened by a vibration in the middle of my sleep. When I opened my eyes, I saw water rushing in from the crack of the door, and in the blink of an eye it flooded the ground..."
…
After asking the questions she wanted to ask, Mrs. Xiangshan also left the stage tremblingly.
Vodka looked at the tour guide, then at her, and was curious: "..." What on earth did Wuzo do in there? Why did these guys turn paler after they came out?
He almost wanted to go in and listen...
But it was just a thought. When Vodka thought of Ouzo sitting in the room, he immediately turned around and walked a few steps away, to the window to breathe the fresh air without conspiracy.
After taking two puffs, he retreated silently.
——The painter was still vividly aware of being hacked from outside the window. He must stay away from the window and not follow in the footsteps of this unlucky man.
Vodka: “…” By the way, who is the murderer?
