Bree in the elevator car calmed down a little. He cursed and began to operate according to the emergency instructions on the inner wall.
"...We won't have to wait here for him to be rescued, right?" Hesta whispered, "Someone will come, let's go first?"
Rico nodded, and she shouted towards the elevator: "Let's evacuate first, Bree."
"wait wait wait--"
Hesta closed her eyes, "Ignore him."
"What's sticking out...what is this?" Bree's voice suddenly became a little more frightened, followed by a series of heart-rending screams. The sound echoed in the closed elevator, like the depths of hell. The ghost number at.
This sudden change made Hesta and Rico look back at the same time.
"So much blood...so much blood!!! So much blood...help me...help me——!"
Rico entered bullet time again, and she easily tore open the metal door of the elevator - but it was useless. Bree's voice came from directly above her. The elevator happened to be stuck in the passage that was sealed on all sides.
"What's wrong with you, Bree?"
"I...I don't have the strength..." Bree's voice was filled with tears, "Help me..."
Li Ge was a little annoyed, "Can you provide some useful clues? What happened?"
On the other side, Hesta had already trudged to the lobby reception desk opposite the elevator and used the landline phone there to contact Chiba urgently.
…
"Okay! Get the person out quickly!"
At the slightly cramped elevator entrance, several people struggled to transport Bree out of the car. At this moment, the elevator has not returned to normal, but under the operation of several mechanics, the car containing Bree barely descended half way, revealing an exit of about 70 centimeters.
Bree was lying on the ground, his consciousness already a little blurry. His hands were huddled in his sleeves. The jacket he was originally wearing was now soaked. He wrapped his head tightly with the clothes. Above his head, two fire sprinkler heads appeared at some point. They were spraying water mist continuously, diluting the blood flow on the ground.
A pungent smell mixed with blood wafted out.
"Everyone spread out." Mantel persuaded loudly, "All irrelevant personnel should return to the cabin immediately and don't gather together!"
Despite what she said, few people actually walked back. Everyone just took a few steps back, and everyone's eyes fell on Bree.
Bree's eyes were always closed, and he was unconsciously carried on a stretcher in his sleep, and was quickly taken away.
"...How is he?"
"It feels like nothing is wrong," Chiba replied, "I didn't see any wounds on my body. The blood shouldn't be his."
"That blood is..."
Not far away, the elevator sank again. As the mechanics screamed, a fresh male corpse appeared on the top of the car. Although the swollen face seemed to have been soaked in water, some people immediately recognized it. After finding the deceased, they shouted the name "Fritz" and rushed toward the elevator, but were stopped by several security guards.
"Ms. Chiba! Can you come and see-"
"No, I can't digest this kind of thing at this point..." Qianye stood there with his arms folded, "Why hasn't Si Lei arrived yet? Did she take a long time to eat?"
"Officer Si Lei is not in the restaurant." Hesta said softly, "We called and asked more than half an hour ago."
"Yeah."
As soon as Qianye finished speaking, Si Lei's voice came from behind the crowd. The powerful "give way" was very recognizable. However, due to Si Lei's small stature, until she squeezed to the front of the crowd, He Star finally saw her.
At this moment, Hesta also saw Agnes. The girl was standing in the middle of the crowd with a pale face. When she heard the grief-stricken cries of the deceased companions not far away, her expression was a little surprised and a little dazed.
However, Agnes soon became aware of Hestad's gaze. When their eyes met, Hestad smiled at her inexplicably. She immediately glared back fiercely, and then left without looking back.
"Okay, the police are here." Chiba high-fived and stood up straight again, "Then leave professional matters to the professionals——"
"Wait a moment." Si Lei glanced in her direction, "I have something very important to tell you."
"I'm very busy——"
"Then wait for me here for a while!" Si Lei put on her gloves and walked towards the elevator entrance. Under her command, several security guards dispersed all the passengers. After taking photos of the scene, several crew members removed the body from the elevator. Carry the top down.
"Is there another one who's delirious?"
"That's Mr. Bree. He has been sent to the infirmary for rescue now..."
"Buli?" Si Lei was a little surprised, "Who reported the letter to you first?"
Several people turned their heads and said, "It's Ms. Chiba."
"It's Jane," Qianye said not far away with his hands in his pockets. "She and Rico are the first witnesses."
"...There were no witnesses," Hesta added softly, "We just heard strange noises coming from the elevator."
“Where are the Ricoans?”
"She has something to do and will be back soon."
Si Lei shook the door card in his hand and said, "Then come with me first."
…
The three of them came to Hesta's room together. As soon as they entered the room, Si Lei locked the door.
"...What's wrong?" Qianye asked.
"This morning I retraced the path Dietrich took before his death."
"you alone?"
"right."
"...Officer Si Lei," Hesta could not help but frown, "It is very dangerous to act alone. You just analyzed the reasons yourself yesterday."
"If being alone can lead to the murderer appearing, I really want to see this person with my own eyes..." Si Lei suddenly looked at Qianye, "And if something happens to me, can you have a more positive work attitude? "
"Let me reiterate," Chiba hugged the back of the chair and tilted the chair forward. "Since boarding the ship, I have not slept more than five hours a day - you can't blame me for my work attitude."
"...Then what are you busy with every day?"
"Confidential." Qianye smiled, "Today you walked the same path that Dietrich walked before his death, and then what?"
"I found this," Si Lei put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat, "this, and... this."
A folded piece of paper, a diary, and an open envelope.
"Have you taken the fingerprints on it?"
"I've taken it all, just look at it."
Hesta pushed the wheelchair a few centimeters toward the small coffee table, then picked up the folded piece of paper on the far left. After opening it, there were several lines of crooked writing on it:
If someone dies, it must not be suicide; someone is watching us and someone is listening; we can be silent but cannot lie;
Alex, please protect me...
The handwriting on the note was very sloppy, which showed that it was written in a very panicked situation. A few centimeters below this line of prayer, there is a line of reminder written in the same handwriting but with a different pen:
“The instructions in the Boarding Instructions are absolutely correct.”
There are four dots under the words "absolutely correct", probably for emphasis.
Chiba glanced at the note: "Where did you find this?"
