Even the Captain couldn't help but praise it.

But no woman would be happy with his praise.

Himeko followed closely behind and explained the current situation to the Captain. No one had ever seen the true form of the [Pirate King]. The Captain couldn't help but rub his temples; the situation was far too complicated.

Just as the Captain was pondering the problem, the expressionless girl handed him a cup of coffee.

It was none other than Bronya from this World Bubble.

The leader who united all the pirates is Himeko than Himeko, but the real "Pirate King" who provides her with funds has never actually shown his face.

Among the three major forces in the Pirate Federation, the most powerful are Himeko, Yang, and a certain female fox.

The Captain couldn't help but ask, "What does the Federation's secret have to do with the current situation?"

"Because the king's messenger is dead."

"Messenger?"

"The deceased was an information broker codenamed 'Gray Serpent'..."

The youthful and beautiful Himeko immediately attracted the attention of all the viewers upon her appearance.

She had never seen Himeko with a high ponytail before, and Sirin never expected that Himeko would look like Kiana with her hair up, resulting in a huge change in her overall appearance.

"Pfft."

When she heard that the deceased was Gray Serpent, Sirin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Both Gray Serpent and the Captain are voiced by Yaqing.

"Your Queen, who do you think this 'Pirate King' is?"

Bella asked, puzzled.

"I don't know, maybe Joyce? Apart from Himeko, the entire Pirate Federation is Anti-Entropy. The female fox? It's undoubtedly Cocolia."

While complaining, Sirin gave her reply.

On the live stream's chat screen, viewers were also speculating.

Some guessed Edison, some guessed Joyce, and some guessed Kevin. After all, Gray Serpent is loyal to Kevin, so it's normal for him to become Kevin's messenger in this World Bubble.

Sitting on the sofa in Yaqing's office, Mobius was also making guesses, but her guesses were a bit outrageous. She actually guessed that the "Pirate King" was Mebius.

There was not a single clue, not a single piece of evidence.

Mobius relied entirely on guesswork.

Cocolia, the prime suspect, has been imprisoned. After the King left on business, he handed Gray Serpent a box containing a note announcing who the leader of the Pirate Federation was.

But the Gray Serpent suddenly died, and its personal key also disappeared.

The Captain was summoned to find out the truth.

This was also the only request from the Vodka sisters.

This side story is much more serious than the other two, and feels more like the main storyline, yet it gives the audience a strange sense of being out of place.

Detective reasoning.

As the search for evidence progressed, the truth about Gray Serpent's death became increasingly clear. The Captain seemed to have figured out the real reason for Gray Serpent's death and was about to knock Einstein unconscious...

To everyone's surprise, every piece of evidence pointed to one person.

Someone no one could have guessed.

Bronya.

Many things happened that night, including the recovery of the key, the capture of the real culprit, the release of Cocolia, the interrogation of the prisoners, and the public reveal of the King's decree in the box.

There was only one letter in the box.

Himeko will become the de facto ruler.

Bronya is the murderer.

No one in the audience could have predicted it.

That expressionless, emotionless girl is the murderer.

"Huh? Bronya is the murderer?"

Kiana's CPU is about to burn out; it's starting to emit steam.

"A very elegant murder method, just as I expected."

Bronya was quite proud.

Three branch lines.

The other two subplots are both erratic and rather abstract, lacking any formality. However, this subplot is completely different from the previous two, creating a sense of tension simply through its character development.

After a long night of work, the Captain returned to his assigned room and fell into a deep sleep. As night fell, he knocked on Himeko's door.

"Oh my, you're a very punctual guest."

Under the pink filter, Himeko, dressed in a formal gown, smiled at the Captain, her loose hair making her look even more ladylike, and the bright red liquid swayed slightly in the wine glass.

"I may miss a beautiful lady's invitation, but I will never be late."

"That's what the Captain said in a gentlemanly manner."

Himeko smiled and explained the subsequent events to the Captain, which were roughly the same as the Captain had guessed.

Cocolia did exactly the same thing as in the main storyline. In that experiment, Bronya lost her family and then tried to frame Cocolia.

As for why she didn't kill Cocolia herself, Himeko thought it might be because Bronya wasn't ready to kill her mother.

Himeko has confirmed the Captain's hypothesis.

However, the Captain overturned his own assumption. If it really was to frame Cocolia, then how could he guarantee that an eyewitness would be present at the scene?

"Or let me put it another way: Who exactly was the person who lured Dr. Einstein to monitor the Gray Serpent?"

The Captain had barely finished speaking.

The pink filter vanished instantly, leaving a somber atmosphere. Himeko's previously smiling face turned cold, and her golden eyes coldly stared at the Captain.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Ah?

An unexpected reversal.

Sirin didn't react.

"Didn't you just say Bronya was the real culprit? How come you're suspecting Himeko now?"

Sirin's little head was filled with big questions.

"It doesn't seem like they're doubting Himeko, but Himeko's reaction is a bit over the top."

Bella nodded.

["Holy crap, is this really a mystery?! One plot after another, I want to see something outrageous! Don't watch something so formal!!!"]

"What are you looking at? No, I want to see knives!"

When Mobius saw the Captain knocking on Himeko's door in the middle of the night, his face darkened.

Her face darkened even more when she saw that Himeko had actually changed into a formal dress.

But when she saw the Captain suspect Himeko, she smiled.

Yaqing stared blankly at the scene.

He didn't understand why Mobius looked both embarrassed and cheerful while watching web series.

Mobius noticed Yaqing's gaze, snorted coldly, and turned her pretty face away.

Yaqing didn't understand why Mobius was angry again.

"The mastermind behind this was Himeko! I knew it! How could Bronya possibly come up with such a perfect murder plan?"

Kiana laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.

Bronya: (00)

0)

"How is this possible?!"

Bronya crossed her arms, making Kiana's wickedness tremble.

Kiana bit her handkerchief.

How many years has it been?

How did she suddenly become the youngest of the three?

Mei patted Kiana's head.

To express comfort.

Kiana envied Mei's wickedness, so she leaned in and rubbed her face against Mei's. Her bra was a little bumpy, and she casually slipped her hand inside Mei's sweater.

Mei blushed.

He slapped Kiana's hand in an annoyed tone.

Seele blushed when she saw this.

Bronya, holding Seele's hand, continued to focus her attention on the web series.

"I have a bold idea."

In Captain speculations about this case, there is one person whose motive he can't understand: the Pirate King. The whole thing started because of the King, and at the same time, he set up a trap. What exactly is he trying to do?

The Captain couldn't figure it out, so he looked at the problem from a different angle.

The death of the Gray Serpent was merely a special stage, which may have been the King's original purpose. This means that the King is not far from them.

They might be on the ship.

The Captain smiled, a smile that sent chills down one's spine, as if everything was part of his plan.

"So let's make this assumption a little more dramatic."

"[Wang] is an avenger. He created this stage and persuaded a subordinate to participate in the plan on the condition that the subordinate become [Wang]'s agent."

"According to the plan, [Wang] will use a special method to kill Gray Serpent and frame her for revenge. But the prerequisite is that her subordinates, as accomplices, must prepare a witness for her."

"Her subordinate successfully completed the task, but then she suddenly thought of something:"

"What would happen if, at this point, the hidden 'King' was exposed as the culprit?"

"This [subordinate] can still act as the [king's] representative, while the [king] who has no chance to reveal his identity may simply leave the stage."

Himeko was speechless.

But the Captain dropped a bombshell.

Bronya is the [Queen]

Chapter 366 The Captain is a Succubus, Mobius Shatters a Glass with His Bare Hands

Bronya is the true "Queen"?!

An unexpected reversal.

If what just happened was an ordinary detective mystery, then the Captain's sudden, shocking guess is what brings this detective mystery to its climax.

It suddenly became terrifying to think about.

"My hair stood on end!"
