After returning to the lounge of the annex, the two young masters of the Ligen family first informed the rest of the people about the situation on the bridge.
Faced with such a dangerous situation like a blizzard villa, no one else reacted with too much worry or panic.
This is also in line with Bai Heqing's previous guess. Long before he and Mary, these people had spent a lot of time on the island and had some understanding of the situation here.
They know very well that the island currently has sufficient supplies. They only need to wait a few days before someone from the outside world discovers abnormalities and comes to rescue them. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about this.
After informing everyone of the current situation, the two young masters of the Ligen family locked the rest hall. In the next few days, this hall will not be opened again until everyone is rescued.
Also locked in the hall were Yang Douxin's body, which was temporarily stored in the refrigerator, and the physical evidence in the hall that could prove that he was poisoned.
When the police arrive on the island, these will become evidence for the police to track down the murderer.
Bai Heqing and Mary went to the warehouse of the annex together to confirm the status of the gunpowder stored in the warehouse.
After that, the two of them had to test the rest of the people on the island, collect their intelligence, and then identify the murderer among them as quickly as possible.
Time was urgent, and neither Bai Heqing nor Mary had any intention of wasting time.
In this case, the two of them should have acted separately, but...
Since the identity of the murderer is still uncertain, although Shirakawa Qing is not worried about his own safety, he is more worried that Mary will be attacked by the murderer. Considering that Mary came to this island with him, he thinks that he should at least guarantee Mary's safety. Safety Responsibility.
As for Mary, she is also not worried about her own safety. Instead, she is more worried about Bai Heqing. After all, his injuries have not healed yet. If something happens to him again, how will she explain to Bai Heqing's family and friends? ?
In this way, under the mentality of Bai Heqing who thought "I should ensure your safety" and Mary who thought "I can't let you get hurt again", both of them tacitly did not propose the idea of splitting up.
"..."
Since there was no connection between the warehouse and the annex, Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mari took the assault boat outside to go to the warehouse.
It was a not very big house. Standing on the stone platform in front of the warehouse, Bai Heqing was about to open the door, but suddenly stopped when he reached halfway.
"The door lock is broken." Bai Heqing said.
Around the metal keyhole of the warehouse door, there were traces that seemed to have been rubbed by metal bars. The lock of this door had been broken by someone before.
Without turning the doorknob, Bai Heqing reached out and pushed, and the door that originally seemed to be closed was pushed open by him.
The two walked in and found an old lady wearing an apron rummaging through something in front of the shelves in the warehouse.
The old lady heard the movement behind her and turned her head to look over.
"You two should be detectives invited here by the young master and the others, right?"
"Who are you?" Mary asked.
"My name is Orimizumi, and I am the housekeeper of this annex. The young master told me before that the gunpowder stored in the warehouse might have been stolen, so he asked me to come over and confirm..."
"Is the gunpowder still there?" Bai Heqing stepped forward and asked.
"It's true that he's no longer here..."
Oirumi shook her head and took out a large, square porcelain jar from the shelf. When she opened the jar, it was empty inside.
"I remember it was full of stuff before. Who stole it..."
Bai Heqing stretched out his hand and rubbed the inside of the porcelain jar, then put it in front of his nose. The pungent smell of gunpowder suddenly hit his face.
"When did the warehouse door lock break?"
"Ah? I don't know about that either. I remember that when I came to pick up the things in the morning, they were still in good condition. Could they have been broken by the murderer?"
"Who usually keeps the key to this warehouse?" Mary suddenly asked.
"Usually, Kurahashi holds it, but if the two young masters and I want to come to the warehouse, we can ask Kurahashi for it, but that won't work for others..." Oirumiko replied.
Kurahashi Motoaki is the old housekeeper who came to greet Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary.
According to Ori Sumiko, except for her request for a key once this morning to prepare breakfast, no one asked Kurahashi Motoaki for the warehouse key again.
"..."
"There are only four people who can get the key to the warehouse." Mary suddenly said as she returned to the second floor of the annex in the assault boat.
"But the warehouse key has been with Kurahashi Motoaki since breakfast this morning. Therefore, in fact, we cannot rule out the possibility of these people in the annex picking the warehouse lock based on whether we can get the key." Suspicion." Bai Heqing replied.
But not everything was found. At least they knew that the gunpowder used by the murderer was indeed taken from the warehouse, and they only needed to continue investigating in this direction.
After returning to the annex, Bai Heqing and Mary quickly came to Kevin's room door.
According to the previous analysis of the two men, this muscular man who was suspected to be a retired soldier was highly suspected of being the person who blew up the viaduct.
"Mr. Kevin, are you there?" Standing in front of the door, Mary raised her hand and knocked on the door.
However, there was no response from the house.
"Mr. Kevin?"
Mary shouted again, but after there was still no response, she and Bai Heqing looked at each other, opened the door and walked in.
As for the consequences of such reckless behavior?
They didn't think about it at all.
Even if Kevin knows, it doesn't matter. Just say that they are investigating. If he is not convinced... Sorry, both of them have slightly higher force values. There is no one on this island who can bring them down at the same time. Life form.
There was no one in the room. Bai Heqing walked in and quickly scanned the layout of the room.
"It's really a room with an ocean atmosphere." Mary said with a smile.
Kevin's room is filled with small models of marine life. There are several marine magazines on the desk. There are even diving equipment and an oxygen bottle in the corner.
"Cigarette boxes." Bai Heqing squatted down and picked out two discarded empty cigarette boxes from the trash can nearby.
"It's the same brand as the cigarette butts we found in the tunnel." Mary took it and took a look at it and said.
"It's really not a small suspicion."
After taking away the cigarette case, the two closed the door and turned to leave.
When they returned to the annex just now, they asked the old housekeeper Akira Kurahashi. Kevin came with Clyde as an assistant.
Therefore, without any delay, Bai Heqing and Mary went directly to Clyde's room.
The two planned to clear this incident as quickly as possible.
