Chapter 3448 3460 [The Wolf is Coming]
"Insidious, so insidious!"
Vodka secretly clenched his fists in despair: every time, every time he thought he had seen through Uzo's methods, this kid would give him a new surprise.
“I thought he was after my cards and my innocence, but now it seems this guy just wants me to mistakenly think I’ve lost my cards so I can call Brother Gin for help.
"This is simply the story of the boy who cried wolf! If this continues, the next time Gin-sama gets a call from me, he'll slowly start to think I'm just looking for trouble and making a fuss. And then... the real danger will be upon us!"
He was still too naive. Now it seems that Uzo's methods are far more insidious than he thought.
An organizational cadre regretted so much that he wanted to throw his cell phone to the ground and step on it, and then throw Wuzo to the ground and step on it.
Next to him, because he took out the Devil Card, the eyes of the others naturally fell on the mummy.
——Among the seven people present, he was the only one who couldn't take out the Devil Card. Combined with the card nailed to the captain's chest... the answer seemed to be about to come out.
"What are you looking for?" Maori Kogoro snorted, "You're the murderer! You deliberately nailed your cards to the murder weapon, shot the Skeleton Captain, and then pretended to be confused now... Stop pretending, confess your crime quickly, I've seen through all your tricks!"
"What a trick! What murderer would deliberately nail his keepsake next to the dead!" The mummy collapsed. "I really just can't find the card. I had it in my pocket before!"
Maori Kogoro snorted coldly, "You're pretending quite well. You want others to think, 'Because your cards were on the deceased, the murderer must be you, but it's too obvious, so you must have been framed by the murderer, and the person who framed you was the staff who prepared the same tarot cards in advance.'"
Mummy: "...Are you talking about tongue twisters?"
"Anyway!" Maori Kogoro pointed confidently, "This tarot card was made by the deceased specifically for this party. The staff couldn't have forged it. Because you didn't know this, you tried to use your own card to frame the murderer on the staff.
"But unfortunately, these are the only seven Devil Cards in the world. Your trick has become evidence that can kill you!"
The mummy finally found a point to refute: "How could I not know that this card is unique? - I am a staff member tonight!"
Maori Kogoro was stunned. He looked at the staff dressed as humans next to him, and then at the mummy in front of him: "Don't talk nonsense, you are obviously a monster!"
The mummy said anxiously, "We just have different divisions of labor. My job is to dress up as a monster and blend in with the guests, closely observing each guest's costume and acting skills!
"How could I possibly kill the boss who pays me? Even if I wanted to, I couldn't have deliberately left my cards behind... Someone must have framed me!"
Maori Kogoro was stunned: "..." How could this be! Then, who is the murderer?
Next to him, Jiang Xia asked the mummy, "How many staff members like you are there on the ship?"
The mummy pointed and said, "The other mummies are basically my companions."
Following the sound, several people walked out of the crowd and stood beside him: the cockscomb mummy, the bald mummy, the fat mummy, the thin mummy...
The mummy with the middle-parted hair who was identified felt a little safer standing among a large group of companions. He explained, "Our job is to observe the guests in the same group in a low-key manner. Once we find a guest with good makeup and superb acting skills, we will send a message to the captain."
"The person who put makeup on us mummies was actually the captain. While he was doing it, he gave us a lot of instructions. I'm definitely a genuine staff member! If you don't believe me, you can ask them."
Jiang Xia certainly didn't bother asking this question. He asked instead, "What instructions did the captain give you?"
"Well..." The mummies looked at each other, and the mummy with the middle-parted hair said, "For example, if I want to drink, I can only drink a certain kind of wine."
Another fat mummy said, "I can only eat dishes made with chicken."
Cockscomb Mummy: "He gave me this red wig and told me not to take it off."
The middle-parted first-class companions finished talking at once and added, "In short, the instructions given by the captain are different, but there is one thing that is the same - that is, we must never speak."
Maori Kogoro scratched his head: "Not allowed to speak? It's totally incomprehensible, but..."
He suddenly remembered something and looked at the "invisible man" next to him who was wrapped in bandages and also silent: "Hey! Are you also a staff member here?"
"Invisible Man": "..." This uncle is an idiot, didn't he show me that he is invisible when he first got on board? ——Invisible Man is Invisible Man, Mummy is Mummy, they are different!
Although he wanted to complain in his heart, he glanced at the "green mud monster" next to him... Hattori Heiji, who was on a mission, didn't say anything in the end. He just turned sideways in a low-key manner and avoided the gaze of Mouri Kogoro.
The mummy answered Maori Kogoro's question: "He is not, it just happened that the roles overlapped."
"Really?" Kogoro Mouri looked away suspiciously: he always felt that this invisible man was sneaky and didn't seem like a good person.
However, the invisible man's devil card was still there, and he didn't look like the murderer. Maori Kogoro had to scratch his head and turned to the mummy again to ask.
Seeing this, the invisible man tried to lower his presence and slipped into the corridor.
"Finally I can take this thing off." When they got to a place where there was no one, the "invisible man" took off his sunglasses and blinked.
He walked through the dim corridor and made his way to the equally dim bathroom. As he walked, he muttered to himself, "When I came here with the uncle and the others to look for someone, I couldn't see anything clearly with my sunglasses on... Come to think of it, how do those villains on TV who wear sunglasses all day and night actually work? Do all of them have night vision?"
"A-choo!"
A faint sneeze was heard from the distant cabin. I wonder if someone caught a cold from the sea breeze.
Hattori Heiji didn't care about this. He walked into the bathroom, looked at the broken mirror, then turned around and went to the cubicle, opened the door, squatted down and carefully observed the toilet and the wall.
As he was watching, suddenly, Hattori Heiji's ears moved and he heard a series of footsteps.
He turned around suddenly and saw a man standing at the door, looking at him quietly.
