Chapter 1532 The Risk of Leaving
When everyone was in a fog, Gene raised his glass and tapped the glass with a metal spoon, making a crisp sound.
"It's a pleasure to be here with you all." He stood tall, smiling.
Everyone fell silent in unison, all looking at Gene.
Mu Zi glanced calmly and counted. The last time when they docked, most of the guests had already disembarked, so there were not many guests on this floor. Including Murong Cheng, Gu Liang and Tangtang, there were only thirteen people in total.
Thirteen, this is really not an auspicious number.
Gene said: "Tragedies happened one after another in the past two days. I am very sad. No one in the great Stan family died so unexplainably. Therefore, I invite you to come here and witness the moment when the murderer surfaced."
Everyone stared with bated breath, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
Gene was unhurried, shaking the wine in his hand, and then said, "The murderer is in this room now."
After the voice fell, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Even Mu Zi subconsciously looked for the waiter in the crowd.
Murong Cheng gently held her hand, and whispered: "He's testing us, he doesn't know who the murderer is, he just wants to find a scapegoat!"
Someone asked Gene: "Who is the murderer?"
"I'm pretty sure that the murderer is among us." Gene said, "The murderer's goal is to retaliate against the Stan family, and he will do it tonight, so I hope everyone stays here tonight, let us monitor each other , can be regarded as the last dinner before parting, I have already prepared food and wine, please enjoy it to your heart's content, there is no need to look outside."
Everyone understood.
He gathered everyone together so that the murderer would have no chance to do anything!
It's all because of the fear of death!
Many of the guests showed disdainful expressions, but Gene seemed to be invisible, still maintaining a decent smile.
Someone said disdainfully: "Mr. Gene's idea is good, but I'm not interested in attending the dinner party today. The ship will dock tomorrow. Before that, I just want to go back to my bed and have a good sleep."
The man turned around and was about to leave, Gene said immediately: "Of course, but if a murder really happened tonight, those who are not here will be regarded as suspects without an alibi."
The opponent's footsteps were stagnant, and his face was full of shock and anger.
Gene smiled and said, "I advise everyone, don't be alone, remember to stay in the crowd at all times, so that you can completely clear your suspicions."
"He's so insidious." Mu Zi whispered to Murong Cheng, "Not only does he want to force a scapegoat, but he also wants all of us to protect him."
"If you're not careful, how can you flatter Brother Stan?" Murong Cheng smiled coldly.
Forcibly leaving, will be regarded as a suspect; face-to-face conflict, and the risk of offending the Stan family.
In the end, all thirteen guests stayed.
There were all kinds of dishes, drinks and cakes on the table, but no one touched them. In the spacious living room, people were either sitting on the sofa in silence, or leaning against the wall and chatting, and the low-pitched conversation was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
And Gene stayed on the balcony alone, watching the night, pouring himself a drink.
Tangtang saw the parents of the twins last time, and ran over to say hello: "Where's your baby?"
Of course, Gu Liang was needed to help her translate.
The young couple recognized Tangtang as an evil spirit, and their attitudes were very respectful, saying that the child stayed in the guest room and was taken care of by a nanny and servant.
It was hard to hide the uneasiness in his words, obviously he missed his child very much, but he didn't dare to leave rashly.
Tangtang curled her lips, originally she wanted to play with other people's children, but now she just stays here dryly, it's really boring.
Time passed by, and the room was getting hotter and hotter. The temperature of the air conditioner had been adjusted to the lowest level, but it didn't help much.
Someone couldn't bear the hunger and thirst, picked up the glass jug, and poured himself a glass of iced lemonade.
With the first one, there will be the second one. Gradually, everyone let go of their scruples and began to enjoy the drinks and food on the table.
