Alexander Sumrs connected the events and vaguely understood what Purple Sumrs ant.
"Soone hid the blade in advance. After the maid entered the bathroom, she wrapped one end of the blade with a towel, walked further in, reached the vicinity of the bathtub, and precisely stabbed the other party’s chest. She threw the towel into the bathtub, washed the blade in there, put it back into the vase, and then pretended to be frightened and scread to attract the bodyguard inside..."
Alexander Sumrs looked from the bathroom door to the vase, then to the bathtub’s position. He found it hard to believe, "If it was a professional assassin, the entire process might take only five or six seconds."
"But the premise is, there must be an inside man on the yacht for the assassin. Otherwise, killing is easy, but getting away is not." Purple Sumrs’ voice was low and heavy. "The murderer is not alone; there are at least two, maybe three, four... so Cherry mustn’t speak, it’s too involved."
On this yacht, regardless of the noble status of the guests, their food, clothing, and accommodation all rely on the service staff onboard.
They provide water and food for the guests, clean rooms, launder clothes, repair equipnt... They are everywhere.
Imagine, if the elevator attendant was the murderer, they could suddenly cut the power while a guest is riding, causing the elevator to fall... If the room cleaner was the murderer, they could secretly sar poison on the rim of a teacup or connect live wires into the bathtub...
Once Alexander Sumrs and Purple Sumrs caught that maid, they would face the mad revenge of her accomplices among the staff.
Alexander Sumrs’ brow was deeply furrowed, "This doesn’t make sense... The service staff hired by Under The Rose are thoroughly screened; there’s no reason for such malicious people to get in!"
"Maybe there’s an inside story we don’t know..." Purple Sumrs sighed.
Alexander Sumrs asked, "The elder of the Stan Brothers died in his bed at midnight, without a maid entering. How did he die?"
Purple Sumrs gently shook her head, "Maybe soone tampered with the room, so kind of chanism or sothing."
Alexander Sumrs’ expression grew darker.
On such a luxury cruise, setting up chanisms and doing tricks would cause quite a stir; re service staff couldn’t pull that off.
The real mastermind must be soone on this ship with a certain level of authority, including the room manager waiting outside, who is also suspicious!
Who are they taking orders from?
Could it be that the boss behind Under The Rose wants to teach the Stan Brothers a lesson?... That doesn’t make sense either. The Under The Rose organization is mysterious and powerful; they could carry out this deed unnoticed, why commit murder on their ship and cause such a scandal?
At that mont, footsteps were heard outside.
Alexander Sumrs and Purple Sumrs both looked over to see the room manager from earlier coming in, saying apologetically, "Mr. Gene is inviting everyone to his room. He says there’s a clue about the killer he wants to share."
Alexander Sumrs asked, "Has he figured out who the murderer is?"
"Not quite sure, he just said he needs everyone present. Mr. Gene wants to reveal the murderer’s identity in front of everyone."
Alexander Sumrs and Purple Sumrs exchanged a puzzled look.
With nearly a thousand service staff on the yacht, how did Gene identify the real culprit?
They went to Gene’s room and found many guests there, including Gavin Graves and Cherry.
As soon as Cherry saw Purple Sumrs, she raised her eyebrows to complain, "I didn’t want to co, they forced ! They also said if everyone’s not present, Gene won’t tell who the killer is! Ha! Who cares to know?!"
"The yacht will dock tomorrow, and Gene is surely trying his best to find the murderer before docking. It’s normal for him to use so extre thods." Purple Sumrs soothed Cherry, "Let’s watch and see what happens first."
What they feared was not Gene, but the fearso Stan Family.
If Gene wanted to catch the murderer, then they should cooperate as much as possible, otherwise, if Gene accused them of obstructing the investigation in the future, it would be too costly to bear the bla.
At this point, the Stan Family’s bodyguard pushed a dining cart in, filled with fine wines, delicacies, and various pastries.
Purple Sumrs frowned, wondering what exactly Gene wanted to do?
