我看到單位招牌外面寫是私人博物館,於是問:「慕容小姐?」276Please respect copyright.PENANArzNNgVCIsA
276Please respect copyright.PENANAtXpl3PMJxd
「嗯,我就是和阿晃住這兒。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAskIQVlW0r4
276Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ15pKaOCp
「但這兒明明是⋯⋯」276Please respect copyright.PENANA2VL8kMWg2j
276Please respect copyright.PENANAN9wJTtljQT
「博物館也挺好住的。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAZ05cl6t05G
276Please respect copyright.PENANAJBTmaDPhz4
大門打開,博物館內的裝潢與外頭走廊滿是鋼材與玻璃的現代風格不同,檀木的香氣撲面而來,視線穿過有格調的層次式燈光可以看到在正中央的一張巨大紫檀木太師椅。276Please respect copyright.PENANAhWdnxlKvGj
276Please respect copyright.PENANAmuXQEP5k53
我看到椅上有近期的使用痕跡,已經能想像慕容小姐坐在在上面翹著腿的樣子了。276Please respect copyright.PENANAR48H7yiSi1
276Please respect copyright.PENANAOznz93B6dx
圍繞著太師椅的是林林總總的玻璃櫃,玻璃櫃內有著不同的展品,看樣子古今中外的也有,話說這兒的樓底⋯⋯也太高了吧?這上層不是天台嗎?276Please respect copyright.PENANA0qdeUwzn5N
276Please respect copyright.PENANA2vLhwxST0I
「阿晃會準備晚餐,我帶你逛一圈吧蔣醫生。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAizJYJ4K6pB
276Please respect copyright.PENANAErmkYiyyhW
說我沒有興趣是騙人的,這兒的館藏不亞於政府的博物館,甚至更加精緻珍貴,看得出慕容小姐很用心經營著。276Please respect copyright.PENANAWL9OTGpPKD
276Please respect copyright.PENANAflYoJad0R1
按慕容小姐的介紹,如果正常想前來博物館參觀的話不但需要預約,預約後更加要等待館方的邀請才能參觀。而即使獲邀參觀,亦更要簽下保密協議同意不得披露館藏內容。276Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3Jwoz0RgK
276Please respect copyright.PENANAsxopRZ6B4Q
這樣的特殊規矩不但沒有使人興趣全消,相反地使得這博物館在上流社會,特別是收藏家們之間趨之若鶩,雖然不能披露內容,但人們總是以自己有幸見識過這邊的館藏而沾沾自喜。276Please respect copyright.PENANAGCoZnwJSO8
276Please respect copyright.PENANAneUV6eS4Gi
「不用等你的邀請信和簽保密協議嗎?」我問。276Please respect copyright.PENANA1tb48cLjuR
276Please respect copyright.PENANA10CA2NVLhX
「我相信你不會和外人說這兒的館藏。」慕容小姐道。276Please respect copyright.PENANAydIfFfLnjO
276Please respect copyright.PENANAA0sBEkLSR8
那我可更不能說了,竟然用信任來約束我。276Please respect copyright.PENANAusDJquwgyO
276Please respect copyright.PENANArdtYDBzsFN
「這是聖女貞德的盔甲。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAstteYiPFf0
276Please respect copyright.PENANARgQ5eGaWDg
「這是麥哲倫的指南針。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAUCxi7SVvWH
276Please respect copyright.PENANAfQY8zs5hgF
「這是拿破崙的雙角帽。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAu3nGrXnCe1
276Please respect copyright.PENANAtEQAGTDObg
「這是阿提蜜絲神殿的大理石柱。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAgkSkLZF4vu
276Please respect copyright.PENANA608Yuc1FYD
「這是焦爾達諾·布魯諾的手稿。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAcdhrMw4Gn2
276Please respect copyright.PENANABdbYWdUSoY
「這是項羽的玉墜。」276Please respect copyright.PENANATXntJtufQH
276Please respect copyright.PENANAHrzsgwaMBR
「這是凱撒的劍鞘。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAbr74skXKM9
276Please respect copyright.PENANA5rSJQgsnu6
慕容小姐如數家珍地領著我悠閒地在博物館中參觀,只能說這博物館名不虛傳,幾乎每個櫃子中都有堪稱能成為別處鎮館之寶的文物。其中一些展品我甚至在新聞上看過,是說在拍賣會上被匿名買家以天價買走,原來匿名買家就是慕容小姐。276Please respect copyright.PENANAq9VXPMgf7B
276Please respect copyright.PENANAPor3uiInSD
不過按她所說,這兒很多東西都是其亡夫所買入的,她只是負責管理。276Please respect copyright.PENANAoATs3PwMnb
276Please respect copyright.PENANAosEp1j9Yxm
但我們來不是參觀博物館的吧。276Please respect copyright.PENANAn6UagwAsxE
276Please respect copyright.PENANAxmNiP8dfZR
「慕容小姐,蔣醫生,晚餐已經準備好。」阿晃不知從那兒冒出來說。276Please respect copyright.PENANApl4ngyizDF
276Please respect copyright.PENANA7QunNPpCur
「不用著急,蔣醫生,我們晚餐後才進正題吧。」如看穿我心思的慕容小姐向我點點頭,然後突然在展櫃後出現了一個剛剛還不在的通道,通往一個同樣古色古香的飯廳。276Please respect copyright.PENANAFvYtFf1K2M
276Please respect copyright.PENANAmhFoHfEOgC
那是一頓恰到好處的晚餐。276Please respect copyright.PENANAIw4qQ26jta
276Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y9cjc7VIg
在那之後她又領我前往書房,不只剛剛的樓底,整所博物館的室內空間比起外頭看起來更巨大,即使不斷往深處前進,空間還是源源不絕地出現,恐怕是設下了某種魔法吧。276Please respect copyright.PENANASummeNYbKd
276Please respect copyright.PENANAuR6XDQdBht
慕容小姐的書房以深木色為主,與慕容小姐的黑色洋裝相襯,深紅地墊配上木書桌木書櫃,以空中的水晶吊燈和牆上的油畫作點綴,還有慕容小姐亡夫的畫像在遠方,突然有種穿越時空的感覺。276Please respect copyright.PENANAac6ZnxG06M
276Please respect copyright.PENANAk3uOPz3CK8
這時我才發現房中竟然沒有任何現代電器,例如電腦或是列印機之類,但剛剛因為進來後連上的WIFI卻是滿格,似乎只是巧妙地藏了起來。276Please respect copyright.PENANAYz9VVaUVtM
276Please respect copyright.PENANAIjvMORpkCW
阿晃坐在我旁邊,他為慕容小姐遞上了長煙斗與煙絲,然後興致勃勃地看著她,似乎滿心期待。276Please respect copyright.PENANAwVZmTdjctM
276Please respect copyright.PENANAfxv2LqWZjI
「那麼,開始推理吧。」276Please respect copyright.PENANALSZY4vyVeK
276Please respect copyright.PENANAtO6ARLEWUe
慕容小姐優雅地點燃長煙斗坐在大班椅上沉思了片刻,雙眼掃視自己吐出的煙雲,如要在一片混沌之中梳理出秩序和真相.276Please respect copyright.PENANAi8WABrfbNO
276Please respect copyright.PENANAnISEzL1B6B
「蔣醫生,不少人質疑在魔法世界中是否需要偵探,畢竟世界上存上魔法,很多推理也不能成立,比方說結界師可以穿牆傳送,要完成密室殺人不是輕而易舉嗎?」276Please respect copyright.PENANARQ4Ze6IAij
276Please respect copyright.PENANA75yVFvO6JO
慕容小姐不以為然地說下去:「但是,如果案發現場在科學角度是密室,那麼結界師的作案嫌疑就極大了,而且使用穿牆或傳送的話也會留下魔力痕跡,追蹤和分析這些痕跡的技術和術式歷代魔法研究機構也有開發鑽研,即使是你也聽過大名鼎鼎的獵戶座天文台吧。也就是說即使魔法存在,還是能進行推理的。」276Please respect copyright.PENANArtGo7ATlwX
276Please respect copyright.PENANAeDityDm1dz
我點點頭道:「使用魔法引發乾性遇溺就是這種呢。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAl9Ht8RbBNs
276Please respect copyright.PENANAwC1RVA72zs
「沒錯,不愧是蔣醫生,能同時明白兩邊的概念實在太好辦事了。而且推理時除了物證推理,還能推理犯人,受害者,受害者親友的心理。夏洛克.福爾摩斯是世界上最著名的物證推理偵探,而心證推理的偵探代表就是吉爾伯特·基思·卻斯特頓先生筆下的布朗神父吧。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAgBnv1k2t0P
276Please respect copyright.PENANAaGlVzUMdV2
「似乎慕容小姐你是後者。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAjBGGuJvxi0
276Please respect copyright.PENANAdXGZHuX4OT
「沒錯,雖然魔法師們能超越物理法則,但是他們更受精神和心理活動約束。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAMM7GzS9e5L
276Please respect copyright.PENANAGhfNXxpyrb
我年輕時的確也看過布朗神父的小說,和慕容小姐一樣他也被描寫為隨身攜著一把大傘的人。276Please respect copyright.PENANAy676uG6QEC
276Please respect copyright.PENANALzs88nZ680
「先來整理一下現在手上有的線索吧。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAv0NEKBdlo4
276Please respect copyright.PENANAAU7fG8edny
慕容小姐從書桌的一個抽屜中取出一截粉筆,然後走到一個書架旁邊輕推。276Please respect copyright.PENANAXiiUmLbLrL
276Please respect copyright.PENANA6GD1zIJJQr
「索——」276Please respect copyright.PENANA5g5tco3fFD
276Please respect copyright.PENANA7WBLSoaZ51
書架滑開,露出後方的黑板。276Please respect copyright.PENANA4svAVX0nQD
276Please respect copyright.PENANASF4tsqeS1X
「四名死者的真名分別是——」276Please respect copyright.PENANAqZMfnfSULS
276Please respect copyright.PENANAZUJKBI4ZlF
郭麒楓,男,24歲。276Please respect copyright.PENANAs550tLkAv4
276Please respect copyright.PENANApmfNvTXUqp
方家熙,男,30歲。276Please respect copyright.PENANA2zcnUqtYEE
276Please respect copyright.PENANA1PY4SRBqiX
林珈熙,男,32歲。276Please respect copyright.PENANADgGD0fSDj0
276Please respect copyright.PENANA0TX0TvWTGj
王思雯,女,32歲。276Please respect copyright.PENANAla5K2hLWIT
276Please respect copyright.PENANAy5DQgyFdfd
「四人的死因都是乾性遇溺,全靠你的解剖,蔣醫生,容我向你表示感謝,只靠我的話絕不能發現這樣奇特的死因。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAyaIogKU3FL
276Please respect copyright.PENANAKJEqQOzakz
「乾性遇溺本來就不常見,我也是第一次解剖這死因的遺體。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAm2ZmAqVz8y
276Please respect copyright.PENANAz8LFwWfxzm
「嗯,除了死因外他們都有不少共同點呢。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAFPiQ2Y4TYl
276Please respect copyright.PENANAePvXVZsQp1
接著慕容小姐在黑板上寫下四人的共通點。276Please respect copyright.PENANARxVFJH9ppp
276Please respect copyright.PENANAic8rDlNhxH
其之一,四人都精通泳術。276Please respect copyright.PENANA9pxKwY0rbd
276Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6ga1uhNcP
郭麒楓讀書是學校泳隊,在學界之中小有名氣,方家熙是救生員,林珈熙熱衷於滑浪,王思雯是浮潛教練,四人都不只是會游泳那麼簡單,更加是熟練的泳手。276Please respect copyright.PENANAuV6QHxfz5v
276Please respect copyright.PENANAGz5J0BtT4y
其之二,四人都曾經於水上發生過小意外。276Please respect copyright.PENANAtvZnjmUmF3
276Please respect copyright.PENANAQg0IOSzDZu
郭麒楓是船上派對時撞到頭遇溺,但被救起。同樣地,方家熙是在玩直立板時意外落水,林珈熙滑浪時落水撞到頭部,王思雯是浮潛時抽筋輕微遇溺。解剖四人時都發現其身上,手上有瘀傷,那時因為被救時造成,不是致命原因,報告中清楚寫明,身為法醫不可能混淆這點小傷與致命的原因。276Please respect copyright.PENANAyeQiNgz8tf
276Please respect copyright.PENANAxMc7qV9X1E
其之三,四人都去過觀鯨。276Please respect copyright.PENANARExVUBrRTu
276Please respect copyright.PENANAA7VigRUM1n
怨鯨索命一說本來就只是因四人的死是在那鯨魚死後連續發生才傳出,但是經我的陰陽眼查問後才發現四人都去過觀鯨。本來不相信怨鯨索命一說的我也覺得非空穴來風了。276Please respect copyright.PENANAM2g1b3AvcZ
276Please respect copyright.PENANAWcx1AAFQyS
其之四,四人死前都作過一個惡夢。276Please respect copyright.PENANAXNcp8vrTXS
276Please respect copyright.PENANAmybsThqgvl
惡夢的內容是自己被一群鐵魚包圍,然後被鐵魚身上的鐵魚鰭將之活生生地剖得腸穿肚爛,而自己卻動彈不能。276Please respect copyright.PENANAEBmA183mGt
276Please respect copyright.PENANACEKzYw8tvG
這我就不知有甚麼意義了。276Please respect copyright.PENANAOs7QjUhFow
276Please respect copyright.PENANAqZWmvH6Lab
「真是經典的連環殺人呢。」慕容小姐看著黑板上自己寫下的線索概嘆說。276Please respect copyright.PENANASO2NJBwrQN
276Please respect copyright.PENANAxFPcJZLPyL
「的確。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAGCgpFb7UHE
276Please respect copyright.PENANAqvjenq9edQ
我也接觸過連環殺人事件,那次的死者大部份都是醫生或醫護相關的人士,似乎連環殺手就是有著這種偏好。276Please respect copyright.PENANAVHJwKUWxqA
276Please respect copyright.PENANAeZTquzku35
阿晃說:「既然四人都作過惡夢,是夢魔殺人之類嗎?或是入夢的術式。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAlKNpPcKLkN
276Please respect copyright.PENANAd9p2aqXcWw
「不,這是不可能的,阿晃。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAPApYcTIgHD
276Please respect copyright.PENANA8QhHu9J82W
「咦⋯⋯」276Please respect copyright.PENANAByvEx8De5F
276Please respect copyright.PENANAFT26smyysk
「第七期她們那時候不是叫我們出海試圖除靈嗎,那些座標可不是溫台長隨機抽出來的,而是她們的魔力雷達探測到曾經有魔力活動。而海上面不會無故出現魔力活動。」276Please respect copyright.PENANADFDkuwffFw
276Please respect copyright.PENANAq9GQjwMLmY
「所以說,那些地點才是作案現場?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAHi3WZKtg5U
276Please respect copyright.PENANAU5YNOH5e6o
「沒錯,海面上才是作案現場,準確來說,是施法現場。四個地點都是四個死者遇溺的地點附近,也沒有魔法師施法在海上行走的痕跡,那麼人是不可能在海上飛的對吧?那麼凶手在哪兒施法嗎?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAb4WPqQLrxd
276Please respect copyright.PENANApjfxENbJ5u
「凶手在船上。」我說。276Please respect copyright.PENANAHyJjuvRJhZ
276Please respect copyright.PENANAJ00nWId7Fr
「看,連不是偵探的蔣醫生都推理出來了呢。」慕容小姐還不忘挖苦我說自己不是偵探的主張。276Please respect copyright.PENANA0S4W3e9g6J
276Please respect copyright.PENANAVzucvxtmZq
「但那些死者的最後之夢⋯⋯」阿晃說。276Please respect copyright.PENANA3x3F6RTUA5
276Please respect copyright.PENANAeIjMq8d6Zq
「作夢的地點是在他們家,但是根據第七期的魔力觀測,他們斷氣時身邊並沒有魔力活動,這也證明了施法現場不是他們家,而是海面上。那個夢的確很奇怪,但別被那個夢誤導了阿晃。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAPRuPJp0w7S
276Please respect copyright.PENANA63wBLAAXHw
「我會去查查看死者出事時附近海域上的船。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAjZTMEVTiWD
276Please respect copyright.PENANAefqDko7l45
「不用那麼心急,阿晃。」慕容小姐叫著正要離去的阿晃,「以我的推理能力就只能到這兒了。」276Please respect copyright.PENANALKSZM774Bp
276Please respect copyright.PENANAIesPqmsnaQ
但這離找出凶手還差得遠吧。276Please respect copyright.PENANAzhnpKGgfjC
276Please respect copyright.PENANAxft1MNQgAv
「蔣醫生,今天下午你見過我徒手捉住亡靈,我想向你交代原因。」276Please respect copyright.PENANA1wMjhTYrbO
276Please respect copyright.PENANAdGEPwanv8V
「⋯⋯嗯。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAaGL9uxyjZ7
276Please respect copyright.PENANAyYuRm1Dtnz
自問見過怪事多的我,也覺得那一幕莫明地使我不舒服,慕容小姐就那樣捉住空中如煙團那樣的亡靈,然後摔到阿晃的草人中將之暫時封印。276Please respect copyright.PENANAPU5V3lWidJ
276Please respect copyright.PENANA0S9Ywhyr9H
「阿晃,向蔣醫生解釋一下甚麼是魂俱。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAlCP6GflZ0i
276Please respect copyright.PENANAM3mtcR0pG9
「我嗎?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAD2QoRzouER
276Please respect copyright.PENANAruqtEzPg4Z
「難不倒你的。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAMVMJFAOxwv
276Please respect copyright.PENANABt4LdGJbrW
「嗯⋯嗯。所謂的魂俱,是指某種有靈魂寄宿著的物件,例如劍客死後靈魂寄宿到其劍上,雕塑家的靈魂寄宿在自己窮一生雕出的傑作中⋯⋯蔣醫生你看過那套叫棋靈王的漫畫嗎?棋士的靈魂寄宿到棋盤上,就是魂俱的一種喔。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAyss6AOBlBr
276Please respect copyright.PENANA5IHwy7PzR3
「我不看漫畫。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAMVlg2J9rHz
276Please respect copyright.PENANAH7urWexXFY
「這樣喔⋯」276Please respect copyright.PENANAFhmdeB3au3
276Please respect copyright.PENANA1TBeg27oS9
「但概念我是明白了,也不罕見,物件被亡魂附身也是老生常談。」276Please respect copyright.PENANA9PAMDQWnq7
276Please respect copyright.PENANAydOlP8myMn
以慕容小姐的傘子為例,老人家常說路上看到傘子別拾回家,就是因為傘子易有靈魂寄宿,因為執有了靈魂寄宿的物件回家也招至不幸的故事也是比比皆是。276Please respect copyright.PENANAo1YSoCEvY0
276Please respect copyright.PENANANKqXsB2KMz
「嗯,你那麼易明白就好了,使用魂俱的魔法師我們稱之為魂俱使,同樣是靈魂的魂俱可以對付凶靈與成精的妖物,Jean與奏你聽說過嗎?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAbCUxXrHfkQ
276Please respect copyright.PENANATQydLm9v5g
「我相信我認識的Jean不是甚麼魔法師,哪一個也是。」276Please respect copyright.PENANALQ4zb5HBh4
276Please respect copyright.PENANAmbYVnOPajz
「嗯,這不重要⋯⋯總之,抱歉,我不打算交代前因,也許直接給你看看更快。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAdp32QpdGdR
276Please respect copyright.PENANA6GXj6xs6pZ
然後慕容小姐開始脫起了衣服。276Please respect copyright.PENANAlxxWq4LOsf
276Please respect copyright.PENANArQLQOqcyVr
「喂,慕容小姐!?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAiRy8jO6ajQ
276Please respect copyright.PENANAEzJaDeRRpK
「別緊張,只是解兩個鈕扣,我才不讓阿晃看便宜呢。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAzjbkHPcVk2
276Please respect copyright.PENANAaeQYBwOib0
阿晃滿臉通紅地別過臉去,雖然慕容小姐年紀不詳,但樣子很年輕,身材也不差,這畫面對阿晃來說也很刺激吧。276Please respect copyright.PENANAa2sKygyDUG
276Please respect copyright.PENANAcDRoIJCJwk
一直以來也是穿著黑色蕾絲洋裝的慕容小姐解開胸前的兩個鈕扣,誘人的胸溝彈出坦露在我與阿晃眼前,這時我才發現她胸口有著密密麻麻的紋身。276Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gazcm0VKk
276Please respect copyright.PENANADo4wE1BR6d
定眼一看那些紋身全是魔法陣與咒文,而且似乎遍佈她全身上下,除了大腿頂端和臉頰外慕容小姐全身如被法陣和咒文包裹一樣。276Please respect copyright.PENANARxW63KM9FG
276Please respect copyright.PENANAVYb7oWUbzH
「亡魂能寄宿於生前執著的物件上,這描述大致上是對的。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAELUtjooz2G
276Please respect copyright.PENANAZH8oKXxKt9
「大致?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAvWlgzNQTLe
276Please respect copyright.PENANALpfl5iQaNp
「畢竟這也算是前無古人的魔法實驗,問題很簡單:如果亡魂執著不是一件物件,而是一個人會怎樣?答案就是我——活體魂俱。」276Please respect copyright.PENANARZIRGoujSL
276Please respect copyright.PENANAiAaqPrpjtd
慕容小姐結出手印輕輕在自己胸前橫掃一下,法陣與咒文閃爍光芒,接著光芒沿著紋身流竄至慕容小姐全身如甚麼東西啟動了一樣!
「嘩嘩!好久沒出來啦!哎喲你就是蔣醫生嗎?終於親自見面了呢!幸會幸會!」慕容小姐突然站起來捉住我的手搖動兩下說,「阿晃,最近怎麼啦?慕容小姐有好好吃飯嗎?又在抽煙了豈有此理!我不是叫你勸她戒掉嗎?!你這傢伙只對我老婆言聽計從她是不會接受你喔!」276Please respect copyright.PENANAIqslrBwAVS
276Please respect copyright.PENANA6eRxerMq77
「咦?咦咦咦?!」276Please respect copyright.PENANASn61Yeh0YC
276Please respect copyright.PENANA35VW1ftIW0
慕容小姐整個人好像變了樣一樣,連說話語調也完全不一樣!她是解離症?276Please respect copyright.PENANAMUeIFV2Qm3
276Please respect copyright.PENANAmSKbKHCJN0
「我妻子是活體魂俱啦,不過既然她不說我也不方便說原因呢!那麼自我介紹一下吧,我姓司馬,是我妻子的亡夫,這些法陣就是把我封在她體內的儀式⋯⋯不用怕,我也是偵探!厲害吧~嘿嘿~她的推理就是我教她的,本來只是炫耀,但沒想到她能舉一反三,差點就要教識徒弟沒師傅了⋯⋯」司馬先生說。276Please respect copyright.PENANAuqWrwj1yi6
276Please respect copyright.PENANA4MWuvjyBmi
「司馬先生,線索慕容小姐寫了在那邊。」看樣子早知情的阿晃指著那邊的黑板。276Please respect copyright.PENANAneRP4TwVbP
276Please respect copyright.PENANAjhfXEe6kPo
「我知道我知道,在內側的時候我也不是完全沒意識啦,就是很模糊,我來看看啊,嘩是連環殺人!乾性遇溺嗎,還好有你幫助呢蔣醫生。」276Please respect copyright.PENANArr8z7oSYDs
276Please respect copyright.PENANAgYhhkOyEEo
「不,不客氣⋯⋯」我一下子還未能處理到眼前發生的事。276Please respect copyright.PENANA7kIVbg0DL9
276Please respect copyright.PENANAFOG1NXmD8o
「嗯嗯嗯,明白了明白了,喂阿晃,慕容小姐叫你去查船隻資料吧,別忘了查船員資料,無論是死者的船還是出現在附近的船。」276Please respect copyright.PENANA2MgVAQorPj
276Please respect copyright.PENANAD5UmKUGXNG
「船員資料?」276Please respect copyright.PENANA7Gfo9iLoHu
276Please respect copyright.PENANA25rrfyuwAq
「一艘船是船主擁有的,但是通常船長,水手等等都是流轉的,特別是這種娛樂用的租賃船,你要去查查看這些死者出事那天的船員名單,如果有共通的名字出現,那傢伙就很可疑了。按獵戶座…現在叫第七期吧,按第七期的觀測,這是第二類魔法:扭曲無形之物,距離和範圍恐怕是關鍵,畢竟死者出事都是在海中心。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAt7ndZHYFYB
276Please respect copyright.PENANAxqB616ifGT
「明白!」276Please respect copyright.PENANAlCc3AJtwdw
276Please respect copyright.PENANAbTWkkJ4z4b
司馬先生看樣子性格與慕容小姐大相徑庭,但是其推理能力似乎不比她弱。按慕容小姐說,其推理技巧是其亡夫傳授的,也就是說司馬先生是她的師傅吧。276Please respect copyright.PENANAzIj8vsV0d1
276Please respect copyright.PENANAQChnHhK7t4
「Whodunit應該不成問題了,但最後之夢,怨鯨索命⋯⋯似乎就是howdunit和Whydunit的範圍呢。」276Please respect copyright.PENANArZLPvqfNcv
276Please respect copyright.PENANADhyT4lz5O5
這我知道,推理小說中的三大元素,Whodunit—犯人身份,Howdunit—犯案手法,Whydunit—作案動機。276Please respect copyright.PENANA3wSFdwbakB
276Please respect copyright.PENANAjZI7CUOUoA
「你看著我幹甚麼。」我說。276Please respect copyright.PENANA0ibPnrLgOB
276Please respect copyright.PENANAnmN5nsac4i
突然之間我看到了相當詭異的一幕,使用慕容小姐身體活動著的司馬先生在剎那間好像閃爍了一下子,如慕容小姐浮現了片刻也潛回身體內一樣。276Please respect copyright.PENANAnCEvOX2UYA
276Please respect copyright.PENANA1zrrnYQIL3
簡直就如二人在慕容小姐體內討論著般。276Please respect copyright.PENANALQbOCeuzZS
276Please respect copyright.PENANA7i3HEXEfVr
但那瞬間實在太短,我根本不確定是我想多了還是真有其事,但我的陰陽眼的確能看到亡靈,待我定眼細看後,眼前還是頂著慕容小姐肉身一臉漫不經心的司馬先生。276Please respect copyright.PENANAbvtU27iVZM
276Please respect copyright.PENANAIxQnI7LgWu
司馬先生還是看著我說:「蔣醫生,我在內側一直聽得不太清楚,你⋯⋯是有陰陽眼對吧?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAlKYycJ7A2z
276Please respect copyright.PENANAla39wINiog
「對,那又怎樣。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAa8cDunfKm0
276Please respect copyright.PENANAqUYWOvyDu3
「你也是法醫對吧?」276Please respect copyright.PENANApvdywNoHBN
276Please respect copyright.PENANAcjR5qbyCCB
「嗯。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAGEIMtgWrcZ
276Please respect copyright.PENANAtDI3hH95kN
司馬先生好像想到了甚麼點點頭。276Please respect copyright.PENANA9lwcTulwHt
276Please respect copyright.PENANAhmRPkk6DDF
「你想怎樣,慕⋯⋯司馬先生。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAoMckj6asmX
276Please respect copyright.PENANANMA1X4oRKe
「沒問題,只是我有個想法⋯⋯應該說,我有個假設罷了。你有沒有聽過有一種法醫專門解剖動物,為與動物有關的案件找出真相?他們叫動物法醫。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAfiuCWtAfWS
276Please respect copyright.PENANAYe9gBGIzBD
我當然有聽過,動物法醫最早是為了野生動物而設,追查動物的死因是否涉及非法走私,盜獵珍貴動物等等。後來動物法醫進階為調查與虐待動物有關的案件,或是案件中有動物參與。我在非洲工作時就曾經與動物法醫交流,尚算略懂略懂。276Please respect copyright.PENANAskdBJ8Ll5s
276Please respect copyright.PENANAUoxK6WmZav
「我知道,那又怎樣?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAxdYz8VMgFJ
276Please respect copyright.PENANAM7uBHZSKWt
「鯨魚的屍體埋葬地點,就在西貢萬宜水庫西壩喔。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAAiK7FucIC0
276Please respect copyright.PENANABeyipOPeiv
我心領神會他的意圖,但也馬上拒絕:「不,我不會去,鯨魚的屍體已經下葬了,也早就開始了自然分解,我也不是甚麼動物法醫,你覺得我會半夜三更拿個鏟子去把牠的屍體掘出來嗎?」276Please respect copyright.PENANASrvsYZOexB
276Please respect copyright.PENANAQr0kpOxzh4
「嗯,的確不會呢,那洞也不是鏟子能掘出來的程度。那麼今晚我先到這兒吧,我這樣到外側來這邊對我妻子也很大負擔,我換回去囉!」276Please respect copyright.PENANAYLVWgvAmNc
276Please respect copyright.PENANAXkiQZr23z2
司馬先生結出手印又在慕容小姐胸前橫劃一下,她馬上軟癱倒坐到大班椅上,然後揉揉眉心坐直扣好胸前的衣鈕:「船員名單嗎,我還真不知道呢,是因為他年輕時沉迷過遊艇吧。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAutRWTwUSca
276Please respect copyright.PENANAY0YlFUIq0v
「慕容⋯小姐?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAjbc2OU8QQS
276Please respect copyright.PENANAw2JT5g14Z5
「嗯,是我,我回來了,沒嚇到?我這亡夫老是不正經,死了還當自己是當年的花花公子。」她說,這語氣,這眼神,是慕容小姐沒錯,只是眼中多了份愛意和懷念。276Please respect copyright.PENANAutZKMDCIke
276Please respect copyright.PENANAFK7N0tPItJ
她坐直身子說:「別理會我丈夫,鯨魚已經下葬了就隨它去,動物有沒有靈魂這件事即使在魔法界也還未下到定論,應該說我們對靈魂的本質也了解不多。再說了,難不成我真的叫你拿把鏟子去半夜掘鯨屍嗎?」276Please respect copyright.PENANATKSb2MaU9X
276Please respect copyright.PENANAaus198Cpms
「倒不用鏟子呢。」阿晃說。276Please respect copyright.PENANAq5ML1GiG46
276Please respect copyright.PENANAE8oT1P7FWl
「甚麼意思。」我回首問。276Please respect copyright.PENANAiVU30QFYxk
276Please respect copyright.PENANA5BMJuJaHa5
「鯨魚的屍體沒有棺材吧,也就是說在分解的時候屍體的有機物會分解到泥土中,也就是說只要蔣醫生用手按住地面的土壤——就等於觸碰到鯨魚的屍體了。」阿晃就,「既然是這樣根本不用把鯨魚屍掘出來呢。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAcbcDIAUt0F
276Please respect copyright.PENANA3uS5ger1hE
「這樣有點牽強吧。」慕容小姐說。276Please respect copyright.PENANAxYmVrbzdzU
276Please respect copyright.PENANAbnZoxF8rIk
「也許呢,但蔣醫生在解剖室通靈時也沒有接觸屍體,接觸與否真的重要嗎?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAyIawefB6yK
276Please respect copyright.PENANAUtTHyEJle2
「重要的也許是其他事。我想起蔣醫生在解剖前會說的那句——」阿晃模仿起我的語氣和動作:「咳咳,現在是某某時某某分,我是法醫蔣靜文。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAlcPpFuuXHF
276Please respect copyright.PENANAP12GEPAwZK
「咦,這不就是⋯⋯」慕容小姐說,「魔法師的真名宣告嗎?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAbFTVqyOv1s
276Please respect copyright.PENANAqLGfb1TBLT
那時候我在解剖室中看過,阿晃在使出封印凶魂時也這樣說:「吾名為宮城晃!」,但這其實是甚麼意思?276Please respect copyright.PENANAfDIKiueOrS
276Please respect copyright.PENANAvFNpFUnjO5
「蔣醫生不是職業魔法師,你也是半桶水,所以由我來解釋吧。人們的名字大有意義,除了是父母灌注的心念和願望外,更象徵我們這個存在。而向世界宣告自己的真名,按魔法師們說法就是強調自己的存在,所謂 『強烈的存在』與『強調自己的存在』,通常魔法師在使出高深的術式或要強化自己的魔法時,都會先宣告真名。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAvkSQBmVHSq
276Please respect copyright.PENANAsXawabdBiR
「我⋯⋯那個只是我工作時錄音檔的開首,不是甚麼真名宣告。」我說。276Please respect copyright.PENANA0JOWynKg3a
276Please respect copyright.PENANA4poq3z5tkm
「但在你不覺得在解剖室中你說了真名後,和靈體的互動與感應比起在外頭更加強烈嗎?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAQy521nFn0Z
276Please respect copyright.PENANApP5G0Y8NFc
的確我在外頭看到的靈體也沒有那樣活躍地和我互動,但又或許地庫的靈體大多是與我負責案件的死者所以我才會特別留意他們⋯⋯276Please respect copyright.PENANASWTHAsQ1Wg
276Please respect copyright.PENANAyIbWSTKKvK
「天啊,如果蔣醫生去了埋葬鯨屍的地方宣告真名會怎樣?」阿晃說。276Please respect copyright.PENANADIHJ2uYZqZ
276Please respect copyright.PENANAJqHWEWg5K7
「可能會變成蔣醫生的案子呢,畢竟與解剖前的儀式已一致。屍體有了,真名也宣告了,但我們對動物靈了解不多,能不能做到,直接與那條死去的鯨魚溝通找出線索和真相,除非蔣醫生親自去試一下,否則誰也說不準⋯⋯」276Please respect copyright.PENANAghcZJIxqKU
276Please respect copyright.PENANAcrMcii1Qbe
「把戲與話術就到此為止了吧,慕容小姐。」我板起臉說。
「⋯⋯」她與一唱一和的阿晃都閉上嘴,沒想到我竟然中了二人圈套到最後才發現其詭計。276Please respect copyright.PENANAC0JuD16Jgs
276Please respect copyright.PENANAK3zR18T5tW
那天她似乎說得對,我要多點和人接觸,缺少與人交際的經驗已令我不知第幾次被慕容小姐牽著鼻子走。276Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Op5NmLF5
276Please respect copyright.PENANAjEj2XAAxC7
或著我身邊缺乏這類耍手段的人。276Please respect copyright.PENANAhB7IRO1rSz
276Please respect copyright.PENANAGpioBuuT54
「被發現了呢,那麼蔣醫生恐怕不會去試了。」慕容小姐苦笑。276Please respect copyright.PENANAuF4BuAbORY
276Please respect copyright.PENANAwvGIodu2h8
果然是在故意告訴我做法和試圖勾起我的興趣,說甚麼只有我能做到云云。276Please respect copyright.PENANAUZFNeZPZrZ
276Please respect copyright.PENANAEYhV6uMqw0
「對,我不會試,剛剛說的那些無聊幻想一點都不科學。我是法醫,不是偵探,更不是魔法師。」我說,「我剩下的工作就只有完成驗屍報告,沒有其他,然後我就會離開香港。」276Please respect copyright.PENANANOyEpMi3Nx
276Please respect copyright.PENANAbEntX37cH3
「當然呢。你可是有陰陽眼的法醫,那報告也只有你能完成,和去西壩一樣呢。那麼接下來交給我們吧,蔣醫生,這段日子辛苦你了,難得你回來休假也要你這樣勞累還真是過意不去。」慕容小姐說。276Please respect copyright.PENANAeqRHaCmOIy
276Please respect copyright.PENANAh81qqCa9vH
「嗯,那我回去了。」繼續留在這兒不知還會發生幾多麻煩。276Please respect copyright.PENANAPzsoooDwtg
276Please respect copyright.PENANAuM4CYjDUmX
「我們送你出去吧,沒人領著還真是不易離開博物館。」276Please respect copyright.PENANADbyLHSCXJV
276Please respect copyright.PENANAIySU1Ilt14
書房的大門再次打開,剛剛的飯廳已經不見了,外頭的走廊通往剛剛博物館的入口附近。阿晃帶上房門跟著我們走幾步,我藉展櫃的玻璃倒映看看身後,書房門更是已經消失在展櫃之間不見蹤影。276Please respect copyright.PENANAhbZbbA5WvG
276Please respect copyright.PENANADNbE3HzdPR
「我幫你叫的Uber已經到了,這一程車錢就由我付當賠罪吧,路上小心,晚安,蔣醫生。」276Please respect copyright.PENANARCwFUAXA0e
276Please respect copyright.PENANAkZS9jvAPrM
我點點頭步出博物館,升降機剛好到達。276Please respect copyright.PENANAhslVJZ3Zod
276Please respect copyright.PENANADP6SwlhBTm
總算能擺脫這件事了,如果不是今天連續解剖了三具遺體後又看到司馬先生與慕容小姐的切換,我還真想當晚就通宵解決掉解剖報告,然後買最早的機票逃離香港。276Please respect copyright.PENANA198nWUt2jU
276Please respect copyright.PENANAVJZsbGfN1i
「很累的樣子呢,蔣醫生。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAz9ne6JsXCd
276Please respect copyright.PENANAy4qdVm4NLC
頭都有點痛了,沒想到還遇上愛搭話的司機,真倒楣。276Please respect copyright.PENANA9aOeZnRlbA
276Please respect copyright.PENANA4SUT4wPIoy
「嗯。」276Please respect copyright.PENANA41lvzZPGVP
276Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3eyy13M4g
「我這次不會打攪你休息啦,放心。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAWK7s63Jv2y
276Please respect copyright.PENANAA0xQrpxQ5d
「嗯,那就好⋯⋯咦,這次?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAX5p5eLqKX9
276Please respect copyright.PENANA0tKdRTHdLs
話說這Uber是慕容小姐幫我召來的吧,司機怎麼知道我姓蔣?我想到這點連忙看看司機在後視鏡中的樣子。276Please respect copyright.PENANA0cksYFKdQM
276Please respect copyright.PENANAe76ML0DB1g
「⋯⋯鴻哥。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAXpSpPdVEzJ
276Please respect copyright.PENANAKgjjwSPd2t
姓慕容的那個女人!!這一切都在她的計算之內!276Please respect copyright.PENANA7Fpx8havCU
276Please respect copyright.PENANArflN28dOaz
「不用這樣吃驚啦,這年頭只開的士連生活也不夠呢,我也不是甚麼古老石山,休息時也會開開Uber,討生活嘛。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAVuhAg0XWjp
276Please respect copyright.PENANAYjHAEfhJOx
豈⋯⋯豈有此理!沒想到我又被她算計了!突然間我甚至想起自己難得的假期被她毀了,本打算從古戰場,亂葬崗之類喘一喘氣,結果不但捲進甚麼怨鯨索命,連回酒店路上她也故意找來鴻哥開的車,這女人是魔鬼嗎?276Please respect copyright.PENANAEo0poPRSfb
276Please respect copyright.PENANAvvTRC2vLcf
我愈想愈氣,最後我竟然氣得拳頭發抖甚至想哭,慕容小姐這女人的性格真是惡劣至極,糟糕至極,這女人,這女人⋯⋯!276Please respect copyright.PENANA6hiso6TTOX
276Please respect copyright.PENANAhV2Ni3eOyA
「我今晚真的不會打擾你,好好休息吧,蔣醫⋯蔣小姐。我答應過慕容小姐一定會迅速,安全地送到你回酒店,更千萬不可打擾你休息,剛剛是我老毛病犯了,容我說聲抱歉。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAVFz7ljsaMs
276Please respect copyright.PENANABm3HU1vwki
鴻哥微笑點點頭,然後就自己戴上了耳機,全程不發一言雙目炯炯有神地專注駕駛。276Please respect copyright.PENANAKmKgCAqfph
276Please respect copyright.PENANAhcGr0JeTh9
外頭夜色飛馳,車內卻是寂聲無聲。鴻哥的駕駛技術之熟練連我這種門外漢也清楚感覺到,起步,停車,轉線,每個動作行雲流水,如果不是望向外頭的夜色甚至使我懷疑車子根本沒在動,可是把視線投向窗外——276Please respect copyright.PENANAbsJc7gOzVA
276Please respect copyright.PENANA4CHCERIyo3
萬家燈火,如星羅棋佈。276Please respect copyright.PENANAQUuT2A7l3Y
276Please respect copyright.PENANAExBW3Lj2Nb
漸漸地,城市隱沒在夜色之後。276Please respect copyright.PENANAIiwJAuWXt6
276Please respect copyright.PENANAOBSMoMEiCI
「⋯⋯,嗯?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAYuUsmXPt1o
276Please respect copyright.PENANA1DgC57i1hd
當我醒來時,車子已經安然到達了酒店大堂門口,他沒有叫醒我,而是透過慢慢地煞停車子產生有規律的晃動使我緩緩醒來,這也是職業司機叫醒後座客人的技巧吧。276Please respect copyright.PENANAMlFWGcBY17
276Please respect copyright.PENANAMn9Rr3aydW
「到了喔,蔣小姐。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAJxrawi5R7h
276Please respect copyright.PENANAC3skqh6Ofi
「不叫我做蔣醫生了?」276Please respect copyright.PENANAvoB5Wnsv24
276Please respect copyright.PENANA6QxK8IwoU6
「畢竟你下了班嘛,還是叫你蔣小姐會比較好吧,叫你蔣醫生好像在逼你上班似的,哈哈。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAtYqAyTKfJ8
276Please respect copyright.PENANActnvmQxUtA
剛剛喪子的鴻哥,反而有餘力擔憂起我這個一直冷淡待她的路人起來。276Please respect copyright.PENANAF2Fg7MfYSw
276Please respect copyright.PENANAaaXCPJhq1N
我看看懸在後視鏡上,其亡子林珈熙的遺像,今天下午我才在殮房與其亡魂碰過面呢。276Please respect copyright.PENANAt8qHclr6OR
276Please respect copyright.PENANAoR2s9znUra
⋯⋯啊啊,還是中計了。276Please respect copyright.PENANA599rzuEbmA
276Please respect copyright.PENANAtFamEmvneF
「鴻哥,後天⋯⋯不,大後天晚上你開工嗎?」276Please respect copyright.PENANA3C9YA1OTXw
276Please respect copyright.PENANAhmpmL22mMT
「開啊,那天我會開綠的。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAf0KdxpbXsh
276Please respect copyright.PENANA5oZVm111pr
「萬宜水庫西壩你熟不熟路?熟路的話我到時會打給你,你來載我一趟吧。」276Please respect copyright.PENANAZNAo9t3J9f
276Please respect copyright.PENANA5doo6gR3Vw
鴻哥先是一楞,然後點點頭:「放心,那晚的車我只留給你!」276Please respect copyright.PENANA16zZTtSVeg
276Please respect copyright.PENANAwimyLNcOOX
「那麼晚安了。」276Please respect copyright.PENANARbhwunrN1J
276Please respect copyright.PENANA7TjjceEy8l
我關上車門,盤算著待會兒喝哪一個口味的咖啡,看看今天晚上能把驗屍報告完成多少。
