Chapter 139 The plot that does not follow the routine
There is a huge gap in personality between believers of the goddess of the ocean and the god of light.
In the eyes of the believers of the God of Light, the believers of the Goddess of the Ocean are a group of shameless bitch! In the eyes of the Goddess of the Ocean, the believers of the Goddess of the Light are a group of hypocritical and indifferent!
Due to personality, it is difficult for the believers of Pelo and the believers of Amboli to get along, but the two gods are not hostile after all, so as long as there are sufficient interests, the theoretically both parties can cooperate.
But it turns out that Green was thinking too much.
"In the name of Pelo, the young master was not killed by me." The butler stared at the captain tightly, and a trace of holy light appeared in his hand, proving that he was not lying.
There is a level 5 trainee priest in the profession of the female housekeeper. When the clergy of the good god speaks in the name of God, it must be sincere. Otherwise, the priesthood level will drop at the worst, and the priesthood will be completely lost at the worst. Therefore, in most of the time, the clergy of the good god is always easier to gain trust than others.
Seeing the holy light in the butler's hand, Green's eyes flashed: "So... can I untie the rope on myself?"
"Of course." The butler's eyes were staring at the captain.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't you really think I'm the murderer, do you?" the captain smiled, "I have no reason to do such a thing, right?"
Green quietly took two steps back.
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard, which scared the two women.
The two women looked at Green at the same time.
"Why are you looking at me?" Green threw the rope tied to himself to the ground. "I just untied the rope."
"What kind of spell is this?" The captain looked at the musket in Green's hand, "It looks a bit like a dwarf's musket?"
"A variant of magic missile." Green felt a little relieved with a gun in his hand.
The female captain looked at the musket in Green's hand: "Do you also suspect that I am the murderer?"
Green: "In my opinion, anyone on the ship may be the murderer."
The housekeeper: "I have asked everyone on the ship with lie detection. The murderer is among you two!"
Green: "Detection of lies is unreliable. If it is a planned murder, just bring a magic scroll of hypnosis, anyone can fool the Detection of lies."
The butler frowned: "What do you mean?"
Green: "Detection of lies is invalid. Everyone on the ship is a suspect."
The butler's face turned gloomy: "Do you know who the murderer is?"
"I don't know. But we can analyze it." Green rubbed his arms and looked around. "First of all, can you determine the time of your young master's death?"
The housekeeper: "The young master lives alone, so I don't know when the young master was killed."
"Your room is next to your young master, right? Did you hear nothing when your young master was killed?"
"No." The butler thought for a while, "I got up at six in the morning, then went to the kitchen. When I came back, I found that the young master was dead."
"What time was the body discovered?"
"At 7:30, the young master gets up at this time every morning."
"In other words, the time of death should be between six and seven and half past the morning?"
The butler nodded: "It should be."
"The time of death has been determined. Then you can investigate where everyone on the ship is doing during that period, and what they are doing. If the murderer really uses hypnosis, then there must be flaws in the memory of the murderer during that period."
The butler lowered his head and thought, "I understand. I will go and ask everyone on the boat again later."
Green: "Well, then I'll say goodbye first. I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Please forgive our previous misconduct." The butler said to Green with an apology.
"It's okay, who made me the first suspect before?"
After Green left, the butler and the captain fell silent.
"The wound on the young master must have been stabbed from behind, right? Why did you tell him that it was from the front?" The butler broke the silence first.
"Didn't you deny it?"
"Well... is it possible that he used hypnosis on himself and forgot the memory of his murder?"
"Hehehe...you investigate slowly, I won't be with you anymore." The female captain smiled heartlessly.
"Where are you between 6:00 and 7:30 in the morning?"
"...You don't really think the murderer is me, do you?"
"Just as a reference."
"If you really use the hypnosis scroll, you may also be the murderer."
"I have no problem with my memory from 6:00 to 7:30 in the morning. Many sailors can testify for me."
"What if the death time is not between six and seven and half past?" the female captain snorted coldly, "From the degree of blood coagulation, the death time should be between five and seven. If the death time is before five, you are also suspicious. You should know that if Ryan dies, you will become the only heir of the Togmi family."
Housekeeper: "...I never had this idea. I am a believer of Pelo, not doing business. Ryan is more suitable for inheriting the family than me."
"Hmph. But you can't prove your innocence, right?"
"I know I'm not the murderer."
"I also know I'm not the murderer. But is it useful?" The female captain smiled, "You investigate slowly, I won't be with you."
In the restaurant on the first floor of the deck, many sailors were talking about the murder.
As the patriarch of the Togemi family, Ryan's death was a heavy blow to all employees. Many people were discussing what to do in the future, and Green also took the opportunity to inquire about the situation of the Togemi family from the sailors.
The Togemi family is a medium-sized chamber of commerce in Point Dankaro, with several shops and a small fleet. However, the previous family encountered giant sea monsters during the ocean trade and lost their lives. After that, the Togemi family fell into a debt crisis due to losses and compensation issues, and most shops were used to pay off their debts.
Ryan de Togmi had to give up his studies, return to the family from the Tower of Sage, and start running the family. Even this large merchant ship was mortgaged and rented out by a shop. The red-haired female captain Ikashi was the real owner of the ship. The Togmi family and she have a cooperative relationship rather than a slave relationship.
"That is to say... if the murderer was the female captain, the sailors on the entire ship would become enemies? She could completely blacken the cargo of this ship?" Green's face turned green, "This... that Ryan trusted her so much?"
