Chapter 123 The Wronged Green

Chapter 123 The Wronged Green

Character determines belief, and belief affects character.

The world of Io is a world with a true god. When believers choose their faith, their character and thinking patterns will also be affected by their faith.

As a god of the natural pantheon, the Ocean Goddess Church forbids meaningless killing, but it does not prohibit sexual abstinence, nor does it prohibit promiscuity and transsexuality. Certain human moral values ​​are meaningless in the eyes of the ocean.So for those who lean toward the orderly, conservative camp, followers of Sea Goddess are a bitch.

The housekeeper is a follower of Pelor, the god of light.Although the camp of the God of Light and the camp of the Goddess of the Sea are not hostile, they do not like each other because of the huge difference in personalities between the two believers.

Facing the housekeeper's glare, the female captain didn't care at all.

"Brother, I believe in you, don't let me down." The female captain took out a rope, tied Green's hands behind her, and then pulled Green up from the ground, "Let's go, I hope you It can wash away the suspicion on you."

After locking all the Monas in the room, the female captain and the female housekeeper pressed Green to the uppermost room on the deck.

The cabins on the upper deck are much more spacious than the small cabins where Green lives, and the beds and other facilities are slightly more luxurious, but that's it - you can't expect a merchant ship to make the cabins look like a luxury passenger ship pretty.

It was a very simple room, with a bed, a desk and a cabinet. Although there were not many furniture, the quality was very good, giving people a capable feeling.

The door of the room had been broken, and there was a pool of obvious blood on the ground, and Ryan's body was lying quietly on the bed.

Green looked at the blood on the ground, then at the corpse lying on the bed: "Have you moved the corpse?"

Housekeeper: "Of course. You can't let the young master's body lie on the floor all the time, can you?"

In other words, the scene has been completely destroyed?Well, people in this world don't have the so-called concept of "protecting the scene".

The corner of Green's mouth twitched: "Can I see the corpse?"

"Please."

Under the watchful eyes of the housekeeper and the captain, Green went to the bed and inspected the corpse.

The fatal wound was on the chest, and both hands were stained with blood.

"Killed with one knife?" Green turned to the female captain and asked, "Can you tell whether the wound was stabbed from the front or from the back?"

"From the front." The female captain gestured with her hand, "Killed!"

The housekeeper couldn't help but glanced at the female captain, then stared at Green again, wanting to see how Green would answer.

Green didn't notice the housekeeper's expression: "What is the murder weapon?"

Female captain: "It is with a dagger."

Green: "What kind of dagger?"

"Faliyah, show him that dagger." The female captain said to the housekeeper.

"Ok."

"Huh?" Green watched blankly as the housekeeper opened a drawer, and then took out a dagger from the drawer.

"This dagger was originally used by the young master for self-defense. When we found the young master, the dagger was stuck in the young master's chest."

Green: "...can you tell me what happened in the room when you found the body?"

Housekeeper: "At that time, the young master was lying there with his face up, and this dagger was stuck in the young master's chest."

Green squatted on the ground and looked at the floor where the pool of blood was.

"There was no trace of struggle, and he was killed with a knife? Could it be suicide?"

"Impossible!" The housekeeper denied without hesitation, "Master, he said that he wanted to revitalize the family. It is absolutely impossible to commit suicide at this time!"

"Hmm..." Green looked around, "So when you entered the room, were the doors and windows locked?"

Housekeeper: "Yes."

"Secret room?" Green looked at the window and door.

There are no locks on the windows and doors. They use a bolt-type structure that can only be locked from the inside.

"Brother, you are the only mage on board. Besides the young master, you are the only one who can lock the door from the outside." The female captain smiled and stared at Green, "Do you have anything to say?"

The housekeeper stared at Green with hostile eyes.

Green looked at the two of them, and couldn't help curling his lips: "Nonsense. As long as there is a rope, anyone can close the door from the outside."

After hearing Green's words, the two women were slightly stunned.

Green looked at the broken deadbolt: "Find a similar door, and then find a rope that can pass under the door, let's do an experiment. I want to prove to you that anyone can get out of it." Lock the door outside."

The two women stared at Green, their eyes flickering.

"Hey, it's interesting." A smile appeared on the female captain's face, "I appreciate you more and more." After finishing speaking, the female captain shouted to the outside of the room, "Turman, find a thread that can be worn through the door. A thin line from the past."

"Okay, Captain." The sailor who was guarding the door left quickly.

"Let's go, then. Let's move to another room where the lock is still intact. I'll prove to you that anyone can lock the door from the outside."

Soon the sailor came with a thin linen rope.

The gap under the door was small, but big enough for a thin linen string to pass through.

Under Green's guidance, the housekeeper tied the string to the door bolt in a specific way, and then threaded the string through the crack in the door below.

Close the door.

Pull the string.

"Crack!"The latch was locked.

"How? It's very simple, right? Anyone who wants to, can easily lock the door from the outside, and there is more than one way." Green snorted twice, "Can I clear my suspicion now? ?”

"No. This only proves that besides you, other people have the ability to close the door from the outside, but this cannot wash away the suspicion on you." The housekeeper refused without hesitation, "And if the murderer is not you, you How did you know this method?"

"Stop making trouble. I'm a 'learned' mage. Do you know that some thieves have strange methods?" Green said angrily, "You have to be reasonable. I am the least suspicious of everyone. The death of your young master. If it is not suicide, then it can only be a planned murder. Judging from the fact that your young master was killed with a knife from the front, the murderer is an acquaintance of your young master who is not guarded against. He is also good at close combat and also knows your family well. The young master does not have any protective equipment on his chest..."

As he talked, Green felt something was wrong more and more.Thinking about it carefully, the two women in front of me seem to fully meet these conditions!If the murderer is the two of them...

Two women stared at Green.

An ominous premonition welled up in Green's heart: "Well... two ladies, the murderer can't be you two, right? You won't be planning to kill me, and then blame me?"

There was a dead silence in the room, and the two women stared at Green without saying a word.
