Do you want to take a look with the magic eyes? Annick suddenly came up with an idea.

Ha, in a world where only magic power fluctuates, a discovery was made.

Beside the bathtub, there was a small piece of golden magic power that was pulsing. It was very weak and about to dissipate.

I think about it, gold should be the extraordinary person who believes in the God of Light. After all, the holy color of the God of Light is gold.

There are colorless and transparent magic wave fluctuations on the head, colorless? Are there no traces left by the extraordinary person of faith?

What can be concluded now is that at least multiple extraordinary beings have entered the room.

The corpse should have been used by someone with some kind of ability, or used on the bathtub.

As for the cause of death, Chedi's cause of death should be suffocation caused by someone using his power.

There should be only so much that could be useful, so Annick decided to check the alibi of the passengers on this floor.

Just as he was about to leave, a card with silver light attracted his attention.

When I turned it over, I saw a playing card. The face of the card was the 2 of diamonds, and the back showed four roses surrounding a cross.

"It's interesting. Our Mr. Chedi's card should be the identity card of some association or club." Annick decided to accept the poker.

Next, let’s find out the true identity of Mr. Cheddie, who was stabbed twelve times.

Still in the entertainment room, a total of fourteen people, including the first-class passengers including Sister Irena, Captain Booker and maid Mary, were summoned together by Annick.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to disturb everyone's rest. But as a police officer, it is my duty to call everyone here to collect information."

"That's right. I don't want to see this happen. After all, the gentleman I was playing cards with last night informed me that he was killed this morning." The speaker was Lieutenant Colonel Arnold, who looked relieved.

"Just pick up the key points." Viscount Campbell's speech was decisive and capable.

"To put it simply, Mr. Cheddie in Room 3 was murdered in the bathroom of his room. After checking with the ship's doctor, we found that he had been stabbed a total of 12 times."

"Oh my god, so cruel." A shrill female voice came from the sofa opposite. The owner of the voice was Helena. Irina seemed to like this stage actress very much.

"We have examined the cause of death, and there are some suspicious ones that we will discuss later. Let's talk about the motive, or the murderers' intention to treat Cheddy this way."

Annick glanced at the fourteen people opposite him, and basically none of them showed any strange expressions.

Only Mr. and Mrs. Master were a little uneasy. Mr. Master kept smoking cigarettes. Annick noticed that he was smoking the same model of Gunslinger cigarettes as Old Betsy. They cost about 5p a pack.

"That's right, our arms dealer Mr. Chedi is just a pseudonym. His real name should be Karedi. Have you heard of this name?"

"Caredi? A fraudster from ten years ago?" the salesman Cafu seemed to recall.

"You said that and I remembered that guy who opened a bank in the Northern Continent and defrauded many people." Lieutenant Colonel Arnold seemed to recall.

Others also began to discuss quietly.

"Everyone, please stop asking riddles about what fraud means." Annick was a little impatient.

"Ah, let me explain. I'm from the Customs and Finance Bureau, so I know more about it." Harman took over.

"You know a scam, right? To put it simply, it's borrowing new debts to repay old debts. Karedi partnered with a nobleman to open a bank in the Northern Continent, using 10% interest to absorb deposits."

"Can he repay such a high interest rate? None of you doubt it?" Annick wanted to laugh when he heard this. This has happened throughout the ages, both inside and outside the ball.

"Actually, a 10% profit is not an exaggeration in the Northern Continent. After all, there was a gold rush immigration boom, coffee, sugar and even slave trade. With legal and semi-legal methods, the annual gross profit rate can be 20-50%."

The person who made the supplement this time was the rich woman Linna. Judging from her elegant outfit, she must have made a fortune in the Northern Continent.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Harman."

"Then I will continue. Karedi announced that he had reached a cooperation with the Northern Continent Expeditionary Force, not only to absorb savings, but also to issue war bonds. This time, he asked an officer to endorse it. Although the bond yield was only 15%, he sold more.

"

When Halman said this, he glanced slightly at the lieutenant colonel and his adjutant. Although the amplitude was very small, Annick's sharp eyesight still captured them.

"Next, let me guess whether Mr. Cheddy paid a high amount of interest in the early stage and exchanged the bonds. After seeing the income, more people came to buy like crazy, right?" Annick saw this.

There are many scams, and you can all guess the outcome.

"Yes, this is how Karedi defrauded nearly 200,000 pounds in cash and fled. His partner committed suicide in shame. The major general of the Northern Continent Expeditionary Army who issued bonds with him also compensated the victim for bankruptcy and later swallowed

He committed suicide by shooting himself, and the savings of countless small families were wiped out."

Upon hearing this, Annick noticed that Mrs. Master couldn't sit still, as if she was about to vent her emotions. Mr. Master grabbed her hand.

"Can I understand it this way? Chedi or Kaledi is a bastard who has ruined countless families."

"Sir, I think you are right. Simply put, this gentleman is a scumbag. I'm sorry for being rude."

"Mr. Quinn, may I ask who arranged Cheddie's trip?"

"He made his own decision. He said he was going on vacation. As for the cabin, I booked it. The boss is busy with business and he won't care about such small things."

Cabins can be arranged, another useful piece of information.

"Mr. Quin, has Chedi offended anyone recently or had any conflicts with others?"

"Well, Mr. Sheriff, you know that our profession is more or less closely connected with the political, military and even the underground world. Mr. Cheddie should have done a lot of harming the interests of others regardless of official or private matters."

The cake is only so big. If you cut off a piece, others will eat less. Annick understands this truth.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let me make a judgment. Mr. Chedi or Mr. Kaledi had the following possibilities of being killed."

"How many possibilities are there? Brother, please tell me." Irina couldn't help but be curious.

"The first possibility is that a thief stole Cheddy's cash while he was taking a bath. When he was discovered, he was afraid of being caught and stabbed him to death."

"I think it's possible. Once people are greedy for money, they will do anything." This time it was the maid Mary who agreed, and the Masters and his wife next to her also agreed.

"There are many loopholes in this hypothesis, which we will discuss later. The second one is that someone on the ship coerced or intimidated Chedi in advance to let him board the ship, and then murdered him on the ship."

"Murder? You mean this is not a crime of passion?" Captain Booker said with some worry.

"As for murder, I will add more to this later."
