Lost and Spy

Chapter 905 Detective Mo Wen
The successive murders on the "Princess Ruth" left Captain Boyle dumbfounded.

Not long after the boat sailed, four people died!
Four people!

who did it?
The "Princess Ruth", which has never had any vicious cases, bleeds.

Now, strict secrecy must be kept, otherwise there would be confusion on board.

But if the murderer is not found as soon as possible, he will continue to commit crimes!

"Captain," said the first mate quietly, "according to the passenger list, there is a detective from Lyon on board."

"Oh? Detective?"

"Yes, do you want to ask him to help solve the case?"

"Quick, please come here immediately!"

Boyle seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

The detective from Lyons was named Morvin Braston.

He had been a detective for many years, and then a little incident forced him to leave Lyons.

But detectives also have to live. He heard that in Shanghai in the Far East, gold is everywhere. Any foreigner who comes here and stays for a few years can make a lot of money and go back home.

Mr. Mo Wen came to Shanghai with the dream of getting rich.

But he soon discovered that the rumors were the least credible.In Shanghai, not only did he not find any opportunity to make a fortune, but he almost ran out of money to spend.

Returning to France, the money must be insufficient. He had to use all the money to buy a boat ticket to Chongqing, hoping to try his luck there.

"Murder case? Four more people died?"

Mo Wen's eyes lit up immediately: "Mr. Ship, you should really feel lucky. When I was a detective in Lyon, I solved many major cases, such as the Lyon serial murder case..."

"Didn't Inspector Isaac of the Lyon Police Station crack it? I remember it was published in the newspaper." Boyle raised doubts.

"No, Isaac solved it with my help. I'm a low-key person, and I don't want to take credit with the Lyon police." Mo Wen remained expressionless: "There is also the huge diamond theft in Paris... "

"Paris? Why does Paris use Lyons detectives?"

"Because they know I'm a good detective, the best!"

"Okay, Mr. Braston." Boyle interrupted him: "These four murders on the ship cannot be detected by our strength alone, and will be given to the 'Princess Ruth' in the future." It will have an immeasurable negative impact. You are an experienced detective, and everything is left to you, Mr. Braston."

"Of course, I will use the shortest possible time to solve this case." Mo Wen was full of information: "Before that, do you have steak?"

"Mr. Braston, is there anything to do with the steak?"

"Ah, of course I have. Solving a case is a very energy-consuming thing. I must be full. Maybe, I won't have time to eat for a long time."

……

So, Inspector Mervyn Braston had a nice steak dinner.

Finally, I don't have to eat those dry and unpalatable bread after I don't know how long it has been stored.

Moreover, he found that he had no money for bread.

In the third class cabin, there is no food supply.

Let your own great detective live in a third-class cabin with those poor Chinese?
And smell those big pancakes, fermented bean curd, and steamed buns that will appear one after another once you arrive at the restaurant?

It smells bad, but it makes me feel more hungry.

Detective Mo Wen, who was full of food and drink, carefully watched the three cabins where the murder occurred.

"Three cabins, four people died." Detective Mo Wen expressed his opinion: "Their belongings were all robbed. This is a typical robbery and homicide."

I can see that too.

The first mate who accompanied him to inspect the scene thought to himself.

"So, who is the murderer?"

"Ah, are you asking me, Detective Merwin?"

"Of course you don't know, this requires my rich experience."

Detective Mo Wen said proudly: "The murderer is a gang. Otherwise, one person can't kill so many people. They are for money? Then it can be concluded that the guests living in the first class will not do such terrible things. They don't worry about money. What about second class? No, they didn't do it either. At least they are educated and have good morals..."

What concept is this?Why do you say that?

The first mate did not understand a detective's way of thinking.

"It's obvious now." Detective Mo Wen was full of confidence: "Those people in the third class must have done it. They shamelessly killed four people for money!"

"Sir." The first mate kindly reminded: "Third-class passengers are strictly forbidden to go to second-class."

"Uh, maybe they sneaked in?"

"If it's a gang, if so many people want to sneak in together, it means that my crew is too irresponsible."

"Maybe the crew did it?"

"Sir, you are insulting my crew, they are all honest people."

"So, now we're in a dead end." Detective Mowen showed excellent psychological quality: "I need to start the investigation from the first class cabin. Does this require the approval of you and the captain?"

"As long as you can solve the case as soon as possible, you can go anywhere on the ship except the captain's cabin."

"So, I'll act immediately, by the way, what's for dinner?"

……

Detective Merwin was not satisfied.

How dare the first mate cast doubt on the famous detective Mervyn Braston's ability to solve the case?
For dinner, he was only provided with bread?
And it was the kind of dry, hard-to-eat bread.

Detective Merwin decided to take advantage of his privileges and try his luck in the first-class dining room.

Before a good detective solves a case, he needs to have his stomach full.

Ah, the couple are whispering there, it's better not to bother them.

That person seems to be a businessman, and businessmen are generally stingy, and it is difficult to take advantage of them.

Look, look at that young man.

Was having dinner with two beautiful women.

Two beautiful women, one is oriental and the other is obviously western.

American or British?

Detective Merwin was very proud of his judgment.

Chinese people must speak a little bit, especially when facing foreigners, they will always give some respect, right?
Detective Mo Wen walked over confidently: "Excuse me, can I sit here?"

He was worried that the other party did not understand English.

A few people at the next table stood up immediately.

Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand and told them to sit down: "Of course, please."

"Hi, I'm Malvern. Malvern Braston, have you heard my name?" was the beginning of Inspector Malvern, whose English was barely passable.

"Ah, please forgive me, not at all." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I am Zhu Yanfan."

"Your English is awesome, you must be a well-bred gentleman." Mo Wen's mind was spinning rapidly, how can he let the other party treat himself to a meal:
"In China, maybe not many people know my name, but in France."

His voice suddenly lowered: "I'm a famous detective, I was the one who solved the Lyon serial murder case, and someone even said it was solved by Detective Isaac, this is an insult to me..."

He chattered about all his accomplishments.

Meng Shaoyuan was listening with a smile all the time.

Mo Wen felt thirsty while talking: "Would you like to disturb your meal with these two beautiful ladies?"

"Don't bother, you just talk about yourself."

"Is it true that I have met a gentleman like you?"

Mo Wen pretended to be nonchalant: "Can I have dinner? Ah, I'm not trying to take advantage of you. After eating, I will send you the money. Detectives never bring money when they come out to handle cases." .Just tell me your room number."

"Handle a case?"

Meng Shaoyuan snapped his fingers and called the waiter: "Another serving, the same as ours."

"Thank you so much." Mo Wen cheered up: "Don't worry, I will give you the money. Detective Mo Wen is not a person who likes to take advantage of others."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I treat you, I heard that you are here to handle the case? Did something happen on the ship?"

As soon as he heard that the young man wanted to treat guests, Mo Wen immediately became excited, and he lowered his voice again: "Do you know that a terrible murder happened on board."

The expected exclamation did not appear, and even the two beautiful ladies looked calm.

Detective Morvin felt that maybe he was not strong enough when he said the murder: "Four murders, four people died. So, Mr. Captain heard that I was on board and had to ask for my help."

Meng Shaoyuan asked casually, "Any clues?"

"Of course there is."

Meng Shaoyuan's heart skipped a beat, this detective seemed to be really capable.

Mo Wen said braggingly: "There are only two possibilities. One is that the poor people in the third-class cabin did it. The other is that the captain's crew took advantage of the money. My judgment will never be wrong. Sir, this I'm just telling you, don't let it out."

"No, no."

Meng Shaoyuan thought he had met a great detective, but who would have thought that...

When dinner was served, Detective Mo Wen couldn't wait to cut off a large piece of steak and stuff it into his mouth. Regardless of the fact that his mouth was still burning, he quickly took another sip of wine:

"A gentleman like you must take care of your own safety. If necessary, I can provide the necessary protection. You must know that my French boxing skills are very famous in Lyon."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Braston." Meng Shaoyuan smiled lightly: "However, I have bodyguards with me, and I will definitely tell you when I need you. By the way, which cabin do you live in?"

Detective Mo Wen couldn't think about it: "Third class...ah, sir, don't think I have no money, just to solve this case, I have to let myself mix with those people in third class."

"Being a detective is hard work. Take this half bottle of wine and drink it." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette: "I'm very interested in solving crimes. If possible, you can tell me about the progress of the case every day." ?"

"Of course, sir, I think we are really good friends with you!"
