Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

"We also asked many passengers, but none of them knew Miss Celes." Lin Ruier said distressedly, "Logically speaking, the murderer should have some motive for the murder of Miss Celes. We have looked at Celes carefully. No personal information about the young lady was found in her belongings, and I don’t know how to notify her family members at that time.”

"Officer Lin Ruier, now that the passengers' rooms have been almost investigated, I suggest that the rooms of the sailors and other staff should also be investigated." Elliphant stood aside with her arms folded and said suddenly.

Compared to Link and Charlotte, Elephant didn't seem to care much about Celes' room and only took a symbolic look at it.

"Well, I also suggest investigating the work area below the deck." Link immediately agreed. This was a good opportunity for him to enter the work area and search openly.

"Captain Venado, what do you think?" Lin Ruier nodded and turned her gaze to the tall Venado.

"I..." Venado's face froze and he hesitated for a moment, but then nodded helplessly, "We will definitely cooperate fully with Officer Lin Ruier."

Now that all the passengers' rooms have been searched, it would be unjustifiable to grant privileges to the crew.

After briefly exchanging their opinions, Link followed the others to the work area below the deck.

Link first pretended to check the staff dormitory, and then came to the captain's room with a clear goal.

The captain's room has the layout of an ordinary office, with a desk surrounded by many cabinets containing various information medals. If you go inside, you can see an independent bedroom.

"Mr. Venado, could you please open these cabinets of yours?"

"...I made Mr. Link laugh." Although he didn't want to, Venado couldn't show any dissatisfaction. He took out the keys and opened several cabinets under the desk.

Gold bars, jewelry, bill information, and some... adult toys.

"Mr. Vinardo is happy." Link looked calm, picked up the information in Vinardo's office, and started looking through it "casually."

"Mr. Venado, as the owner of the Eye of God, is it a bit unfair to be a captain?"

"Haha, what are you talking about, Mr. Link? My dream since I was a child is to become a captain. I got this Eye of God after I luckily survived a storm." Venado smiled and waved his hand.

"Mr. Venado, as the captain, should know the structure of this ship very well. I wonder if there is anything similar to a secret room on the ship here?"

"No." Venado shook his head, "This ship is produced by Fontaine Industries. Although it has been renovated at the back, I can guarantee that there is no secret room where corpses can be hidden like Mr. Link said. If you need it, I can show you the structural diagram of this ship."

"I'd better trouble Mr. Venado to show me the specific drawings."

"Okay." Venado saw that Link didn't believe what he said, so he rummaged through the cabinet, found a blueprint and handed it to Link.

Link took it, spread it out on the table, and examined it carefully.

Link was already quite familiar with the structure of the first and second floors on the deck, and the contents on the drawing were similar to what he had imagined. As for the work area below the deck... it seemed to be quite the same.

"Mr. Venado, what is this area used for?" Link suddenly noticed that there was a relatively large space on the Katis under the work area.

"Oh, this is a place where garbage is discharged." Venado explained patiently, "The feces discharged by passengers and the leftovers eaten by everyone will be discharged to this area through pipes. But Sir Link, you can Don’t worry, our pipes are not thick. Without treatment, the murderer would not have been able to hide Celes’ body directly in this area.”

"This area is only connected by pipes? How do you usually deal with garbage?"

"This area is a passage for people to enter and exit, but the entrance of the passage is opened on the side of the hull. The passage will only be opened when it docks. We have hired professional cleaning staff to help us clean up the garbage." Venado He seemed a little nervous, "Lord Link, if this channel is opened during navigation, seawater may flow into it. For safety reasons, please allow me to refuse to open this channel."

"Don't worry, I'm not someone who likes to get to the bottom of things. Everyone's safety must come first."

Link moved his arms lazily and suddenly saw the basket of ticket stubs on Venado's table.

"Do you still have all the verified ticket stubs?"

"Just leave it for now, and then basically throw it away."

"Will there be someone responsible for checking tickets when we get to the station?"

"That's not true. After all, I already experienced it once when I got on the ship."

Link nodded, picked up the ticket stub and fiddled with it casually.

The colors of tickets for different classes are different, second class is green, first class is blue, first class is red...

. ?

"...How many guests are there in the second class?"

"Six private rooms, two empty seats... a total of 10 people."

"Including Miss Celes?"

"Forget it, Mr. Link, what happened?"

"...There are only 9 second-class tickets here."

There was once a story in the legend of Fontaine that in the bottomless trench, a huge transparent beast slept.

The name of the giant beast is "Fogot", which is translated as "forgotten" in the ancient language of Fontaine.

The giant beast sleeps for thirty years at a time and wakes up every thirty years, and when it wakes up, it swims out of the trench to look for food.

The giant beast's mouth is so huge that it is said that it can swallow a dragon lizard in one bite, and the giant beast also possesses a very strange and mysterious power.

The traces of the things swallowed by Fogot in the world will be gradually erased, and even people's memories of the things they swallowed will become blurred until they are completely forgotten...

"Dani! Are you sure you collected everyone's votes?"

"I, I'm sure! Lord Venado! I watched them get on the boat one by one! Before everyone gets on the boat, I will ask them to give me their tickets! I will tear off the ticket stubs and then return the tickets!" A The sailor, who has a sinister eyebrow and a slightly stature, has a sad face and looks very innocent.

When Link discovered something was wrong with the ticket stub, Venado pulled the sailor who was responsible for checking the tickets over to question him.

"Look at these ticket stubs and say it again!!"

"I...I... seem to remember that Miss Celes took a special class ticket..."

"Seems like!?" Venado's face showed an angry look, "You lose your chain at the critical moment, why did I raise you!! Think about it carefully, who didn't hand in the ticket!! "

"Lord Venado! I, I really didn't think that someone would evade the fare! Besides, it's meaningless, don't everyone's rooms be checked in according to the ticket!" The little thin man cried sadly.

"you!!"

"Mr. Venado, there is no need to force him." Link waved his hand, "Dozens of tickets correspond to dozens of people. Most people will definitely not be able to remember it without paying careful attention."

"Mr. Link, I'm so sorry!" Venado showed an embarrassed look, "You finally found a possible clue, but I didn't expect that the clue was broken now."

"It's okay. I believe Mr. Venado, like us, hopes that the murderer can be caught as soon as possible." Link said helplessly, "If the murderer is not found before arriving in Sumeru, this ship may be captured. The Xumi Feng Disciplinary Officer detained it.”

"This..." Venado's expression suddenly became panicked. He struggled and hesitated for a while, then sighed helplessly.

"This is really unlucky. I couldn't make much money from this one trip, but I didn't expect that I would get involved in a lawsuit."

"Unlucky." Link shrugged, "But there's nothing we can do about it."

Dong dong dong~~

"Excuse me, do you have any structural drawings of this ship? I want to see if there is a secret room on this ship." The tall woman crossed her arms and appeared at the door of the captain's cabin at the right time.

This woman seems to be Link's confidant. Every time she makes a move, she will change the situation on the field to be beneficial to Link's exploration of the slave.

Miss Elliphant......

A faint smile appeared on Link's lips, as if he knew what everything was going on.

(（Σ⊙?⊙）So what’s going on?)
