I'm just acting like a pervert, I'm actually a good prisoner

Kezhi's confession temporarily freed Xie Qi from suspicion.

But Chris still had doubts about it.

"You said you have been together, when did it start?"

He saw Xie Qi go out at about 11 o'clock last night. If the two had been together for a short time, this man might have committed a crime.

He had a reason to keep staring at Xie Qi.

On the one hand, he learned from Brian that Xie Qi had had an encounter with Alyssa and had displeased William. On the other hand, he took over the magic show after William died.

Although he didn't stay in this copy for a long time, he could tell from the conversations of other guests that William was very famous.

Xie Qi was an unknown little person. If he killed William in order to seize the opportunity to perform magic on the cruise ship...

Chris looked at Xie Qi's face calmly and had to admit that with his face, it would be easy to seduce anyone.

It is very likely that he seduced Alyssa in advance in order to carry out the murder plan, and then the two of them worked together to create the illusion that William committed suicide.

Unexpectedly, Chris pursued her so closely, and Kezhi also came back to her senses from the embarrassment.

She didn't know how to answer this question. She met him once at about one o'clock in the morning this morning. Although she could guess a little about what he did before or after, she was not sure.

Should she lie?

Before she answered, Xie Qi drew Chris's attention back to himself.

"Sir, when you question others, should you first explain where you went last night?"

"What?"

Chris didn't expect the question to turn to himself.

"Isn't it? When I saw you on the third floor last night, you just returned to your room. Maybe before that, you went to the fifth floor to kill Mr. William, and then pretended to be innocent and looked for scapegoats everywhere?"

"What are you talking about? It was almost 12 o'clock when I went back. The person died after midnight. What does it have to do with me?"

"Oh? Why do you think the person died after midnight?"

"Didn't Miss Alyssa say that? She was still alive before she went to bed at 12 o'clock. Is she lying?"

Chris pointed at Alyssa with one hand, and the others turned to look at her.

Alyssa didn't expect that the question would turn to her again. Before she hurriedly explained, she heard Xie Qi smiled and said to Chris: "Let's do this. Since we can't convince each other, let's wait until the first half of the performance is over. During this period, I suggest you check what Mr. William did last night. I think you can find some clues."

The host on the stage has gone up to warm up the scene. If you look down from the backstage, you can see that the densely packed heads have already sat in their seats.

The mechanism master also came over and said that the mechanisms under and above the stage had been checked and there were no problems.

Chris and Kezhi also knew that they had delayed the performance here, so they said they would go to other places to look for clues first.

Brian came here just to ask Alyssa if she had seen John. Now that he had nothing to do, he said that he would also go to the stage to watch the performance.

Before leaving, he looked at Xie Qi and Alyssa with intriguing faces, and it seemed that he had not given up the idea that there was something fishy between the two.

"I'm so sorry that I actually involved you."

Hearing Alyssa's words, Xie Qi smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to apologize, I think this matter is quite interesting."

After putting the mask back on and preparing the outfit, Alyssa pretended to ask him unintentionally: "Speaking of which, what did you mean by what you said just now? Do you think William died before 12 o'clock last night?"

Xie Qi put all kinds of small props on his body and shook his cloak.

"Hmm?"

He turned to look at Alyssa, chuckled softly, and then leaned over to whisper in her ear: "Didn't you tell me? When we first met today."

After saying that, he stood up, restored his elegant and calm appearance, and went on stage at the host's beckoning.

"What...?"

Alyssa's face changed drastically, and she turned around to ask clearly, but saw Xie Qi had already stepped onto the stage, saying welcome guests, but when he turned his head, he met her eyes.

'Last night. ' (Last night)

"!!!"

Alyssa's eyes widened unconsciously.

Suddenly she remembered what she said when she saw Xie Qi appear.

'...Because something happened last night...'

Just based on this sentence?

Even if it was true, Alyssa could not accept Xie Qi's determination of William's death time based on this sentence alone.

Isn't this too much of a joke?

But no matter how she questioned, Xie Qi had no intention of continuing to answer, and continued to perform magic for the guests on the stage.

Most of the guests sitting in the audience had seen the performance in the Colosseum yesterday, so they were looking forward to his performance today.

Some people didn't know the inside story and were still discussing why the magician was changed, and then they were popularized by others about the latest gossip.

When they heard that someone died on the ship, they were shocked at first, then a little panicked, and finally all turned to investigation.

They all wanted to know if there was any part of this death case worth talking about.

Without knowing it, Alyssa became the protagonist of the most famous peach news on the ship.

The other male protagonist is still unknown, but with the powerful associative ability of the crowd, Xie Qi, who was performing on the stage, has become one of the candidates.

And in the center of the front row of VIP seats, Ivan sat there quietly.

There was a white-haired young man squatting at his feet, wearing a collar around his neck, and the chain of the collar was held in Ivan's hand.

At this time, Zero no longer had the aggressive look he had before. Instead, he looked full and stared at the people on the stage with his red eyes.

He moved his nose slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then turned to look at Ivan.

Feeling the sight of his pet, Ivan raised the corners of his mouth under the silver-white mask and said to him with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you hungry again?"

Then he rubbed Zero's white fur casually, and felt that it felt good, so he didn't let go and continued to rub.

Zero felt the temperature on his head and was a little uncomfortable. He wanted to stretch out his paw to pat it away, but when he thought that the other party could give him meat to eat, he tried to resist this impulse.

After rubbing it to his heart's content, Ivan released his hand from Zero's head and smoothed his fur.

Then he changed his posture, put his hand on his chin, looked at Xie Qi on the stage with admiration, and said to Zero:

"See? The one above is also your owner."
