Top stream at Infinite Theater [Infinite]

The singing sounded leisurely, then stopped abruptly, the pointer scratched the ear-piercing sound on the vinyl record, the enamel butterfly trembled at the top, and the phonograph stopped running.

This album seems to have only recorded this weird song.

"I'm going, it's so scary, what kind of underworld ditty is this?" Lu Shuangshuang was terrified, "Don't scare me."

Yu Ran didn't make a sound, he picked up the record, leaned towards the light slightly, and indeed saw an obvious scratch in the middle of the recording pattern, the shape of the scratch was like a feather, composed of a diagonal line and a long leaf-shaped line, It is this trace that makes the pointer stuck in the middle, unable to continue walking.

Ying said: "Play it again."

Yu Ran put the record back and turned the pointer to the original position. After a long prelude, the sighing female vocals sounded again, echoing slowly over the restaurant, which lasted for about 2 minutes, and then stopped again.

Yu Ran looked at each other for a second, then shook his head.

There are too many weird places in this script, not every detail is evidence, and there will be a lot of disturbing plots for this kind of slightly scary reasoning.

But obviously, neither of these two people got any seemingly useful information from the record.

"Leave that alone." Yang Guanyue said, "How did you say she died?"

He pointed at Han Xia, "The bleeding from the wound is far from reaching the standard of hemorrhagic shock, and the wound was blocked with wax. It stands to reason that this level would not cause an adult to die of pain. There is no obvious trauma in other places. There is no trace of a blow either..."

Ying glanced at the corpse, then passed his gaze to Yu Ran.

Yu Ran said bluntly: "Scared to death."

"Ah...ah?" Lu Shuangshuang asked in surprise, "Scared to death? How can people be scared to death so easily? Compared with this, it is more reasonable to go into shock from pain."

"No." Yu Ran nodded his chin, motioning everyone to look at the corpse, "Hands and legs spread out, lying on the back in a large font, his eyes widened in horror, obviously he was frightened and died suddenly. If he died because of pain -"

He stepped forward and patted Lu Shuangshuang on the shoulder.

With a cry, Lu Shuangshuang jumped away and covered the place where the young man hit just now.

"Look, it's like this." Yu Ran rubbed his palms with his fingertips, "People will instinctively cover the injured place to avoid a second injury, and the limbs are not so defenseless that it can be said to be relaxed Instead of stretching out, they will curl up tightly, preferably lying on their side and covering their mouth and nose."

Seeing Lu Shuangshuang's confused eyes, Yu Ran said, "To put it another way, it's like when someone hits your nose, your first reaction should be to cover your mouth and nose, bend your arms inward and tighten painfully, and subconsciously protect your bleeding spot , not with open arms . . . embracing the enemy."

"Could it be poisoning?" Yang Guanyue frowned.

"No." Yu Ran shook his head, "According to the death condition of the corpse, whether it is a chrysalis with a strong symbolic meaning, a cut tongue, or dense wounds on the mouth, it can be deduced that the murderer must have a cruel, cruel and merciless character, and he must have been murdered during the crime. He has an extremely strong psychological quality. This kind of person is generally indifferent, arrogant, and contemptuous of morality. If he commits a crime, he must not simply kill people randomly."

Hearing this, the man who had been leaning against the corner without saying a word glanced at the young man's face. Before the other party noticed his gaze, he folded his chest and closed his eyes, leaning his back against the wall in a daze of boredom.

"Hanxia is An Yejun's personal servant girl. She has nothing extraordinary in itself, and she doesn't have any irreplaceable symbolic meaning." Yu Ran pressed his knuckles against his lower lip and thought for a while, "If I were that An invincible murderer, killing a powerless woman like Hanxia will not bring me psychological satisfaction."

He raised his eyes and saw the others staring at him intently, listening to his analysis.

Yu Ran concluded: "Therefore, there is only one direction left, and that is vendetta, and it is a vendetta of extreme resentment. Poisoning is too cheap for the other party."

Ying nodded, "You're right, there is indeed a high chance of vendetta."

"So, we only need to screen out those who have hatred against Han Xia?" Yang Guanyue scratched his green hair, "Isn't that the young masters who made a bet? They said they wanted to cut the boy's tongue, but Han Xia stopped him Afterwards, intentional revenge."

"No." Yu Ran denied, "At that time, I was called by...Jiang Luochun to take the tea set from the cargo hold, and it took only ten minutes to go back and forth. The Hanxia you said to stop them from betting only happened a few minutes ago, those It is impossible for a person to complete the steps of plotting, planning, cutting tongue, and sealing wax within ten minutes."

"What's more, there's that butterfly chrysalis." Yu Ran said, "Just because Hanxia conveyed An Yejun's orders with a lot of mouth, why did you put a butterfly chrysalis in her mouth and create an unnecessary dense wound? Second, even if you want to take revenge on this servant girl, you won't be so stupid as to choose the day of Yang Fushui's birthday banquet."

Yang Guanyue opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but Yu Ran waved his hand and interrupted directly, "Also, as I said just now, Hanxia died of fright, why was she frightened? Was it simply because her tongue was cut off?"

"You have to know that a big maid will not have much grudges with the young master of the family." He looked at Yang Guanyue, "You were suddenly stabbed in the stomach by someone who had no grievances, and your first reaction was to be afraid, or to be confused? ?”

Yang Guanyue frowned tightly, and said for a long while, "Must."

"Yes, everyone will wonder why the other party wants to kill him without any grievances, and it is far from scaring himself to death." Yu Ran turned his head, "Unless there are two situations."

"First, Hanxia knows this person, and she knows that she has a grudge against him, and this grudge will bring her the disaster of killing her life." Yu Ran said, "In this case, the identity of the murderer is not that of the Yang family. His appearance was unexpected by Hanxia, ​​that's why he was so terrified."

"Second, Hanxia may or may not know this person, she has made an enemy with him without knowing it, and she has done certain things, and these things have caused someone to be greatly implicated for it-probably The involvement of life-threatening, even more serious-in this case, the murderer may be a hired killer, or a direct or indirect victim of those things. Before committing the crime, the murderer told Han Xia the purpose of the murder, the purpose is to let She died in excruciating terror."

"Which do you think it is?" Ying asked lightly.

Yu Ran chuckled, "It's the same as you thought."

It took Lu Shuangshuang a long time to understand, "What charades are you playing?"

"First of all, we can rule out the fact that Hanxia doesn't know the murderer." Yu Ran explained, "She is Mrs. An's big maid, and when An Yejun is preparing for Yang Fushui's birthday banquet, it is impossible to run around by herself. It is all Hanxia. Take care of these boatmen and helpers, of course they know everyone."

Yang Guanyue: "What if a stranger sneaks up?"

Yu Ran: "And then, in broad daylight, swaggered across the upper deck to the restaurant to commit murder?"

The young man sneered, and asked back: "Come here on purpose to kill people on such a yacht that you can't escape? Expose your identity. If someone searches the boat carefully, ah, this is a face that has thrown itself into a trap? He Why don't you kill people before you get on the boat? It's so much fun to run away immediately after killing."

Yang Guanyue pursed his lips, "Based on what you're saying, even someone Han Xia knows doesn't have to commit murder on the boat."

"It is necessary." Yu Randai's eyes flashed a dark light, "Didn't I tell you, because no one can escape."

Ying on the side suddenly frowned, staring at the young man, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is," Yu Ran narrowed his eyes, "Han Xia will not be the only target, the murderer can deliberately kill people on board, use the weird symbol 'chrysalis', and create such a big fanfare, it must be to give someone Some people warned that they were here for revenge. But all those who received the warning had no chance to leave in the boundless ocean, and could only hopelessly wait for death. This is an exquisite psychological torture.”

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Yang Guanyue gritted his teeth, his eyes darkened, "This is just your guess, there is no actual evidence."

"Yeah." Yu Ran glanced at him without warmth, "Just treat me as a shocker."

"..."

"Find someone to move the corpse down first, and discuss other matters after seeing if there are any new clues." Ying said, "Everything should follow the plot first."

The dinner was lighter than the lunch. Yang Fushui was in poor health, so the dinner should not be overcooked, so everyone followed his habit.

After resting for an afternoon, Yang Fushui's complexion was much better than before, but still gloomy, it seemed that he was affected by the Hanxia incident.

An Yejun twirled the beads, still with a kind and generous smile on his face, while serving dishes to Mr. Yang, he said: "Master, don't be angry, Han Xia has blocked you, which means that this year, Mr. Yang is safe and sound. There will be no more misfortunes."

After listening to An Yejun's words, Yang Fushui's face softened a little. Anyway, she is just a maid, it's not a big deal, Mrs. An is right, at his age, crossing the age of 69 is as difficult as reaching the sky, and that girl dies. There was a blow.At worst, I'll find someone to record her later, and when I return to Hong Kong, I will bury her with a generous gift.

After Jiang Luochun finished eating, he took people to play cards again. An Yejun was unwell and went back to his room first, and there were still a few bold juniors who liked to play and huddled in the mini casino to make trouble.

Jiang Luochun didn't call Yu Ran this time, so he went back to help in the boiler room below. He didn't rush into the bathroom to wash it until he was sweating profusely, his face was ashamed, and he put all the coal on it all night. Boatmen's quarters.

The boatman’s dormitory is a small single room with a narrow door and a single iron frame bed. There is a sealed window at the head of the bed, facing the dark sea.

Yu Ran was so tired that his muscles ached, and he quickly closed his eyes as soon as he touched the pillow.

It's just that he slept really badly this time, dreaming about the past all night, Yu Yuanyi for a while, Jiang Luochun for a while, the real mother and the woman in the drama overlapped together, and his memory All messed up into a pile of paste.

Yu Ran didn't know whether he was awake or asleep, and all the hallucinations finally mixed into a grotesque picture.

A woman in a sapphire blue cheongsam sits in the white light, her green earrings and her eyes complement each other, she stretches out her hand painted with Danko, her pale skin is almost transparent, revealing the thin blue blood vessels underneath.

"You come, you come..." She smiled kindly, her face became blurred, "Xiao Ran, come to mom..."

The closer Yu Ran took a step, the further away she was, and all the details disintegrated frame by frame like an old movie, as if they were about to disperse in the white light.

Everything disappeared, only one sentence echoed in Yu Ran's consciousness all the time, making him feel uncomfortable and trembling all over——

"Xiao Ran, be obedient, come to mom."
