A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 686 - Chapter 686 Chapter 509 Lingering Evil Spirit_2

Chapter 686: Chapter 509 Lingering Evil Spirit_2 Chapter 686: Chapter 509 Lingering Evil Spirit_2 Then it was past six o’clock, Williams’ bodyguard Dort went out to fetch breakfast for Williams — her statement was confirmed by Esther, who was setting up the tableware in the dining room at the time. When Dort had prepared breakfast and returned to the room after about twenty minutes, Williams was gone.

Then another passenger, Fred Winston, went to the smoking room for a smoke and discovered the body, followed by a loud screaming.

The time was around seven o’clock.

If bodyguard Dort’s account is correct, then for some reason, Williams left his room and went to the smoking room after she left the cabin, and was then murdered.

Of course, this is assuming her statement is correct. Since the doctor cannot accurately determine the time of the victim’s death, there is another possibility, that is, bodyguard Dort is the murderer. She kills her employer, deliberately goes out to use breakfast as an excuse to create her alibi. Then after coming back, she drags Williams’ body into the smoking room next door…

Anyway, at least one thing is certain.

Williams was alive when he boarded the airship, as everyone saw.

Meaning… he was killed on the airship.

So there’s only one truth, the culprit is among us!

Yes, that’s right, very simple reasoning.

After all, this is not like the train before. If you want to say, people in the train can somehow climb out of the carriage. But it’s different for an airship – it’s sealed high in the sky, who can get out?

And the space of the airship is also fixed. At the farthest front is a large rectangular viewing platform and restaurant. Sofas and coffee tables are placed at both sides by the window while several dining tables are placed in the middle for dining. There are two doors at the back of the viewing platform, the one in the centre leads directly to the corridor, which is a straight line with no branches. On the right side of the corridor are seven guest rooms, on the left side are three guest rooms, a crew rest room, crew bedrooms and a cargo hold.

As for the two doors at the end of the corridor, they lead to the medical room and engine room. Of course, these are strictly forbidden for outsiders. Only when the airship has a problem does the captain open the door for repair.

If you draw a diagram, it’s basically like this.

Viewing platform – Room 1 – Room 2 – Room 3 – Room 4 – Room 5 – Room 6 – Room 7 – Engine Room.

Viewing platform – Crew Rest Room – Crew Bedroom – Cargo Hold – Smoking Room – Room 8 – Room 9 – Room 10 – Medical Room.

In the seven guest rooms on side A, belong to Duanmu Huai, Lorena, four students from the Royal Institute and the body discoverer Fred Winston.

As for the three guest rooms on the other side, they belong to the deceased Williams Ford, his bodyguard Dort Fischer, and Arthur Lancer.

At the time of the incident, almost all the passengers were resting in their rooms, only the crew members on the airship were busy, the captain was responsible for observing the direction, and the navigator was in the crew rest room. Only Esther, the “maid”, was in the viewing platform setting up the dining table for everyone and preparing breakfast. According to her, besides her, only two people came to the viewing platform. One was Arthur Lancer, who appeared in the viewing platform earlier than her and never left it. Then there was Dort, the bodyguard who came to fetch breakfast for Williams.

Right now, everyone is sitting in the viewing platform in a circle, looking nervously at the others. No one on scene is a fool, what Duanmu Huai can think of, they all can too. Although they’re not sure who the murderer is, but at least… it’s better to stay away from a stranger.

“Bang bang bang!!”

However, before long, a rush of footsteps were heard, then everyone saw the captain walking in with a strained face.

“Captain!!”

Seeing the captain appear, the maid Esther got up quickly from the corner.

“What’s the situation?”

“We cannot connect with the radio.”

However, the captain’s news made everyone’s heart sink.

“What happened? Is it because of the weather?”

“No, this…”

Faced with a question, the captain hesitated for a moment, but eventually chose to tell the truth.

“The radio seems to have been sabotaged.”

“What?!””

Hearing this, others also couldn’t sit still all at once, even Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

Now, things are interesting.

“What do we do now?”

“Wait, so what should we do!”

Now, everyone was understandably panicking.

It’s understandable, after all, the current situation is even more dangerous than the train or the stormy mountain lodge.

After all, with a train, if you feel unsafe, you can force the driver to stop, then leave the train and try to survive in the wilderness. The same with the stormy mountain lodge, you could indeed choose to stay in the lodge and wait for death, or choose to go out in the snow, find a place and dig a hole to hide in.

Although the survival rate is not high, at least there is a chance.

But now they’re on an airship, with the Atlantic Ocean beneath them, and tens of thousands of meters of altitude in between, what could they do?

Jump out to feed the fish? Or jump out to feed the fish? Or jump out to feed the fish?

But if they don’t feed the fish, do they have any other options?

“Detective sir, do you have a way to solve the case?”
