我看到單位招牌外面寫是私人博物館,於是問:「慕容小姐?」205Please respect copyright.PENANA4itW4MhTrm
205Please respect copyright.PENANAUYLhrN3too
「嗯,我就是和阿晃住這兒。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAa1lEAvMt4D
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7zN3qNxFna
「但這兒明明是⋯⋯」205Please respect copyright.PENANAG1ARB1mVIt
205Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4DAmBPCGl
「博物館也挺好住的。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA89IB32FOrN
205Please respect copyright.PENANAkpOGkc2FQg
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA5aJMfhGg4j
205Please respect copyright.PENANAaxIwcbLAr4
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAHEmXg02cs4
205Please respect copyright.PENANAfPKA8MIzwF
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?205Please respect copyright.PENANAeuxHzV61up
205Please respect copyright.PENANAB21jHwJA8r
「阿晃會準備晚餐,我帶你逛一圈吧蔣醫生。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAU8gErq1DUR
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPu7LOjbAkf
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAz33MbUssnK
205Please respect copyright.PENANA4msRK8Oo8q
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAh8arL9XBJM
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbQQnfoqot3
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAylIedDjuGE
205Please respect copyright.PENANAl28TtoiYsw
「不用等你的邀請信和簽保密協議嗎?」我問。205Please respect copyright.PENANAyrDrUORMTM
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjX1k1LII97
「我相信你不會和外人說這兒的館藏。」慕容小姐道。205Please respect copyright.PENANAdOPDrgKuxU
205Please respect copyright.PENANA6wjspTXfPB
那我可更不能說了,竟然用信任來約束我。205Please respect copyright.PENANAc4BnFv7fzs
205Please respect copyright.PENANADIdRYF5q7o
「這是聖女貞德的盔甲。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAFrLoTHakpJ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZmiBiJALnP
「這是麥哲倫的指南針。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAdhAslisHwG
205Please respect copyright.PENANAfT5tNaPvhS
「這是拿破崙的雙角帽。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAiwT5hhGCJD
205Please respect copyright.PENANAe8UHU4ovjs
「這是阿提蜜絲神殿的大理石柱。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAMqH8t0Rid6
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqvawdgDc6B
「這是焦爾達諾·布魯諾的手稿。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAkL8p9WCMTt
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7UJzlL4qW5
「這是項羽的玉墜。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAJYyOsvk81e
205Please respect copyright.PENANAF7ZSmXPZS1
「這是凱撒的劍鞘。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAcaTsYWABBf
205Please respect copyright.PENANARxzCOpzUZc
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANANCZw0Wcloo
205Please respect copyright.PENANAroFDLBWavw
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA5hI1il8CP6
205Please respect copyright.PENANASMcfAgPaYp
但我們來不是參觀博物館的吧。205Please respect copyright.PENANApV3WVb5tZB
205Please respect copyright.PENANAxixAeHzjq1
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zkv8arwfr
205Please respect copyright.PENANAidk9xkHD8b
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAoE8ZOSgP9y
205Please respect copyright.PENANACFLKSLTCZd
那是一頓恰到好處的晚餐。205Please respect copyright.PENANA1oiV2cESl7
205Please respect copyright.PENANAcHDwInQ7qY
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAWrlozsxxND
205Please respect copyright.PENANAdSGCCl1S8R
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAwwWIJW5xds
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPZWEe1T1BB
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAJNJwiu5H8w
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9uCXnBTqYj
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAbYRe9zyZGc
205Please respect copyright.PENANAMYxwIZbaa1
「那麼,開始推理吧。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAS1M44AvWnG
205Please respect copyright.PENANAJGJtbxw6Cz
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAGMEu29fKfP
205Please respect copyright.PENANAnOTALgYy9D
「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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANA8YiQ5H6xTE
205Please respect copyright.PENANAD4ktOM41cB
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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAtCY3F5bdgf
205Please respect copyright.PENANAruHxmMWcmS
我點點頭道:「使用魔法引發乾性遇溺就是這種呢。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA26AFDmuHWT
205Please respect copyright.PENANAnv7IzZoFZ3
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAMKK6dIX5UK
205Please respect copyright.PENANAt4sBSWxMm8
「似乎慕容小姐你是後者。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAHMWfEYYC0u
205Please respect copyright.PENANAk3CpFNJP4a
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAUnJnGiZMUs
205Please respect copyright.PENANAks2TEui7S4
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAwMULjREogX
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZbGeV8xCue
「先來整理一下現在手上有的線索吧。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA3T7Odjkz60
205Please respect copyright.PENANAX7oMwE4C2h
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA0bytogx81e
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjmxlYOt7GA
「索——」205Please respect copyright.PENANAcUA7gjSMTL
205Please respect copyright.PENANAWUioFpGxmr
書架滑開,露出後方的黑板。205Please respect copyright.PENANAda1YdOfq7v
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzfNCURI0Fr
「四名死者的真名分別是——」205Please respect copyright.PENANAba9xUJmBXC
205Please respect copyright.PENANAMrYevCy7Ay
郭麒楓,男,24歲。205Please respect copyright.PENANAVae8uHlXT0
205Please respect copyright.PENANATE79sNtODv
方家熙,男,30歲。205Please respect copyright.PENANA8LIya1ajCD
205Please respect copyright.PENANAhitd4DkiF7
林珈熙,男,32歲。205Please respect copyright.PENANAcnXiNdqqGT
205Please respect copyright.PENANAISsoxkNDhu
王思雯,女,32歲。205Please respect copyright.PENANAirkUQeD7iN
205Please respect copyright.PENANArTJveMrUBa
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANALh4dnbaz0f
205Please respect copyright.PENANA5vm363RCTd
「乾性遇溺本來就不常見,我也是第一次解剖這死因的遺體。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA5ABiOcXxvV
205Please respect copyright.PENANAR27QbBRdxe
「嗯,除了死因外他們都有不少共同點呢。」205Please respect copyright.PENANApBpjKayKYj
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPp7tUb3FRT
接著慕容小姐在黑板上寫下四人的共通點。205Please respect copyright.PENANASjjTk9cNn5
205Please respect copyright.PENANA2UWhJvI7J3
其之一,四人都精通泳術。205Please respect copyright.PENANAWFHMRxHkbI
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqcWFBilOJu
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAe55Y95PHxc
205Please respect copyright.PENANAi4AvALVGuS
其之二,四人都曾經於水上發生過小意外。205Please respect copyright.PENANAl2PoIeCBGV
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7l4SDlK9FB
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANApcGSX6Gu3D
205Please respect copyright.PENANAyD1sgxIZuQ
其之三,四人都去過觀鯨。205Please respect copyright.PENANA6kxYH1vjJJ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAfZE6HEavOO
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA5bXi0SkoSL
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjQY2inJD2q
其之四,四人死前都作過一個惡夢。205Please respect copyright.PENANAqS0wANqSkN
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjKoW1QEvtv
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAc9cgWKKsLx
205Please respect copyright.PENANAq5p16NQb0o
這我就不知有甚麼意義了。205Please respect copyright.PENANANbJc4YLMxJ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAQVyzkOQQdz
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANARPuza3kHNB
205Please respect copyright.PENANAE0UUFv0TGk
「的確。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAzYGUMm1950
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7YG0rTIDMY
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAf5eT9Tc11T
205Please respect copyright.PENANAw8KKrJgRgf
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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA8Aertl4aua
205Please respect copyright.PENANAdd0glhggCv
「不,這是不可能的,阿晃。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAuxxAVugiAd
205Please respect copyright.PENANASochF0uFXe
「咦⋯⋯」205Please respect copyright.PENANANqzi4StsTg
205Please respect copyright.PENANAgo4MZmmcWZ
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA1I8PE4ZGwA
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZujGJwnPSL
「所以說,那些地點才是作案現場?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAxg5ExCV1Ay
205Please respect copyright.PENANAau4h9m0Kx6
「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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAbPpB2bhFxB
205Please respect copyright.PENANAiSsQJySOuL
「凶手在船上。」我說。205Please respect copyright.PENANASCkjdXchWn
205Please respect copyright.PENANAQZWogKmp0A
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA14uYnA7Gvw
205Please respect copyright.PENANAB3nN0EKe3n
「但那些死者的最後之夢⋯⋯」阿晃說。205Please respect copyright.PENANA3kOOUhCzzw
205Please respect copyright.PENANAz2ik2pcM6S
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAjrr6wKLJok
205Please respect copyright.PENANAS8cGfYTQ3I
「我會去查查看死者出事時附近海域上的船。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAZiaCHfRs5X
205Please respect copyright.PENANAhxjooVmyNn
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ5oAZ86ZB
205Please respect copyright.PENANAsswrQhlapF
但這離找出凶手還差得遠吧。205Please respect copyright.PENANA0w8HJmRoXj
205Please respect copyright.PENANAS1IHlNv2nu
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAU4puIVNtvz
205Please respect copyright.PENANA02eICZJXVX
「⋯⋯嗯。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAKmc6JfxIBr
205Please respect copyright.PENANA25pqRQ5d0r
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAUMDsXXFUj5
205Please respect copyright.PENANAIWaMS2UqGy
「阿晃,向蔣醫生解釋一下甚麼是魂俱。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAq5Uo4JeLdU
205Please respect copyright.PENANAdk3qZMudJz
「我嗎?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAvzEftOvpCi
205Please respect copyright.PENANAOtZmCfmAv3
「難不倒你的。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA0KpqkIviAu
205Please respect copyright.PENANAEGuNTTNJUk
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAedSO6LqNUJ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPEwVyZURDS
「我不看漫畫。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAIpM2UD4CKV
205Please respect copyright.PENANA6TdaIAXh25
「這樣喔⋯」205Please respect copyright.PENANAq9lqjp6kIU
205Please respect copyright.PENANAmLpIBKvN4h
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAKLR7XpEJxI
205Please respect copyright.PENANAAEOwznxRge
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAiOZIGhjbIP
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwYvWriAfRO
「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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAl4vSVMshKG
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXMnGT86zUb
「我相信我認識的Jean不是甚麼魔法師,哪一個也是。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA2lehW0LN3O
205Please respect copyright.PENANAG8urLw5ueT
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA2M49XrPOCF
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqaxCEVWblM
然後慕容小姐開始脫起了衣服。205Please respect copyright.PENANAj2eoOazrNY
205Please respect copyright.PENANArEMWSSDpJl
「喂,慕容小姐!?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAPlYsZLXnwY
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjpW7LPsZDV
「別緊張,只是解兩個鈕扣,我才不讓阿晃看便宜呢。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAEBk57WE7yn
205Please respect copyright.PENANA2u5lrkfTvQ
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANABGk4aJkYXo
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZKLQbz4bLy
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAy9L0wPj1ba
205Please respect copyright.PENANAraTkSqIgBK
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAK4Vx1oA7qa
205Please respect copyright.PENANAmQcBvp8Z90
「亡魂能寄宿於生前執著的物件上,這描述大致上是對的。」205Please respect copyright.PENANALV2WywIQOI
205Please respect copyright.PENANAYb0SXwyLYZ
「大致?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAaTdTV9ScD7
205Please respect copyright.PENANADbJGb6xHIJ
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAfeVrbuuqeE
205Please respect copyright.PENANAt8D6BYBZQK
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!」205Please respect copyright.PENANArbHmLEU702
205Please respect copyright.PENANAiqNa7PpRad
「咦?咦咦咦?!」205Please respect copyright.PENANANwj2tzfBs5
205Please respect copyright.PENANA445WWeNWcu
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?205Please respect copyright.PENANAAhqLEP6EV6
205Please respect copyright.PENANAvIBHfR45F6
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA4riXQYDOST
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwuuGW5DdGv
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAIHDgwHjzoh
205Please respect copyright.PENANAcgIloihyM5
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAk2ZMK7IyWP
205Please respect copyright.PENANASir6qRkQNs
「不,不客氣⋯⋯」我一下子還未能處理到眼前發生的事。205Please respect copyright.PENANAhpktT5ORF1
205Please respect copyright.PENANAW4IyT7TwDj
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAVpjVwqKfV3
205Please respect copyright.PENANAARLbUeqfgr
「船員資料?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAhltczxp29s
205Please respect copyright.PENANAoIAiCaQdSO
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAhLhWZT48xg
205Please respect copyright.PENANA8FYfImMZf6
「明白!」205Please respect copyright.PENANAm57birp9kK
205Please respect copyright.PENANATSB10AfCnm
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAbfrCcBVenc
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzM8R0mG0hw
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA9RpHwv6kt1
205Please respect copyright.PENANAoQdx5BTBu1
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAYq99Ypj70O
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9cXZmsmiY4
「你看著我幹甚麼。」我說。205Please respect copyright.PENANAap2zOgvA6g
205Please respect copyright.PENANAP17ODD0nJE
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAJJJCbf6X8I
205Please respect copyright.PENANALozFZGmHA0
簡直就如二人在慕容小姐體內討論著般。205Please respect copyright.PENANAWKVnavnaoW
205Please respect copyright.PENANAuORvfLmvYl
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANATXUqwwER7T
205Please respect copyright.PENANAgQX8qNGwxi
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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAsHkYeQkzha
205Please respect copyright.PENANAifyipRK7Zo
「對,那又怎樣。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAUGwvSOZ1XY
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXjvUQc7iiM
「你也是法醫對吧?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAQOs3SLz9Uv
205Please respect copyright.PENANANA6fqjYePa
「嗯。」205Please respect copyright.PENANARrV0OjlRYa
205Please respect copyright.PENANAr3jf7QUiLk
司馬先生好像想到了甚麼點點頭。205Please respect copyright.PENANAH5M6zz9RJG

「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAQBdz8lFqaM
205Please respect copyright.PENANA4pOCuIEV3f
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAE6sVoAW8Zb
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZPpDdCVZsh
「我知道,那又怎樣?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAHjaLHjZlum
205Please respect copyright.PENANAh9FyaoV3yf
「鯨魚的屍體埋葬地點,就在西貢萬宜水庫西壩喔。」205Please respect copyright.PENANApUFZvEjFTJ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXPfixLDshx
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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANA96cKhVEs6C
205Please respect copyright.PENANABEQ9Ip5pJX
「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!」205Please respect copyright.PENANAoNRfglbTH0
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwTqIpJFKnh
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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAMXYeQuNPtA
205Please respect copyright.PENANAuLKyk7j0If
「慕容⋯小姐?」205Please respect copyright.PENANACK90n3jY3V
205Please respect copyright.PENANABp23g2qDe3
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA1iJu1DcwMX
205Please respect copyright.PENANAvJVMGZaKkd
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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAowLB7PqjtE
205Please respect copyright.PENANApxaTUCJDHS
「倒不用鏟子呢。」阿晃說。205Please respect copyright.PENANA9HpXsLMyui
205Please respect copyright.PENANADcyoT7gDS6
「甚麼意思。」我回首問。205Please respect copyright.PENANAgAMjzSwthT
205Please respect copyright.PENANA16vnGoN1MG
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAVwnaR3bMKV
205Please respect copyright.PENANAvLYVHBu0dM
「這樣有點牽強吧。」慕容小姐說。205Please respect copyright.PENANAyOxshKoRu0
205Please respect copyright.PENANA3InV8NwEQw
「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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAXWqieoKpCS
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbLwHcD1tSP
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA9cTr9f4vKI
205Please respect copyright.PENANA2njkcosgQh
「咦,這不就是⋯⋯」慕容小姐說,「魔法師的真名宣告嗎?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAHKnuAmkmFh
205Please respect copyright.PENANAUf1QpRji9e
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?205Please respect copyright.PENANAso9p7gs9Il
205Please respect copyright.PENANAWrH5zkRLZ1
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAMTQVQLbYg0
205Please respect copyright.PENANALSdzvNfWWY
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAxcKQsZv1Gl
205Please respect copyright.PENANAnQTLsepnQp
「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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANACpAnTewg2W
205Please respect copyright.PENANArPOC8v0gAL
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⋯⋯205Please respect copyright.PENANA2O2g08I7rw
205Please respect copyright.PENANAycrj1xy7EK
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAHOp5UvHYhH
205Please respect copyright.PENANAUmrk42J94t
「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⋯⋯」205Please respect copyright.PENANAyJxBM3337p
205Please respect copyright.PENANA3fF7PLDvGA
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAiUQ8yYngZ9
205Please respect copyright.PENANAOqOlVYzPmt
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANATnCEQxr1RD
205Please respect copyright.PENANAfAMKK5GyAA
或著我身邊缺乏這類耍手段的人。205Please respect copyright.PENANAEwBVLGNcwk
205Please respect copyright.PENANAuFnBLiNz9s
「被發現了呢,那麼蔣醫生恐怕不會去試了。」慕容小姐苦笑。205Please respect copyright.PENANAVS80ouhAwm
205Please respect copyright.PENANAKqeBwyQdUp
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAOOU7a8iryc
205Please respect copyright.PENANAhaIROiRdYy
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAJ89S4y5PMT
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjD1wtBtVbu
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAZN7lQk9lhr
205Please respect copyright.PENANA0DWxthveT2
「嗯,那我回去了。」繼續留在這兒不知還會發生幾多麻煩。205Please respect copyright.PENANAIIvxjj3C5o
205Please respect copyright.PENANAxTnHOeFiy1
「我們送你出去吧,沒人領著還真是不易離開博物館。」205Please respect copyright.PENANASGKof1ur9W
205Please respect copyright.PENANAxMmDS9hyi7
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAZMvrRywRfX
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXFVwUVXLLB
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA59jExjd98q
205Please respect copyright.PENANAElWWFjL36g
我點點頭步出博物館,升降機剛好到達。205Please respect copyright.PENANAd4oAPMWDdj
205Please respect copyright.PENANATGHI7AWabc
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA11ciWPoH1g
205Please respect copyright.PENANAyQUjEtcGjY
「很累的樣子呢,蔣醫生。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA6cd2iOIjlw
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPG0QB7qEft
頭都有點痛了,沒想到還遇上愛搭話的司機,真倒楣。205Please respect copyright.PENANAOVKIEHmKen
205Please respect copyright.PENANA5wGYnDtVDc
「嗯。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAK1fTr6Gw2q
205Please respect copyright.PENANARm77NDRiU3
「我這次不會打攪你休息啦,放心。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA5NhQGeyjKm
205Please respect copyright.PENANAlDpnuTaPbt
「嗯,那就好⋯⋯咦,這次?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAm2PdoTPLZ4
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7b1ZGXBygp
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA3xLuS93sr2
205Please respect copyright.PENANA475rhLzNr4
「⋯⋯鴻哥。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAZ82qmwDC0A
205Please respect copyright.PENANAsV1oF0VuNg
姓慕容的那個女人!!這一切都在她的計算之內!205Please respect copyright.PENANAalr6EJsnjj
205Please respect copyright.PENANA1aCapFdnYc
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAISGFZ8lDIZ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjonWXUPXhm
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?205Please respect copyright.PENANAJl8rWbFJ9M
205Please respect copyright.PENANA0D7lXkrrJJ
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⋯⋯!205Please respect copyright.PENANACONQe5uRlv
205Please respect copyright.PENANApbslk51b2g
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAmhXneCWCJq
205Please respect copyright.PENANAhnYPQtjjiE
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA6idRFS4uS3
205Please respect copyright.PENANAz1o1kvKMZe
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——205Please respect copyright.PENANAgcLCXnuldk
205Please respect copyright.PENANAAdclOBM11E
萬家燈火,如星羅棋佈。205Please respect copyright.PENANADU7yVpZZga

「⋯⋯,嗯?」205Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rj6GdHmvX
205Please respect copyright.PENANAl7OfzRUFfi
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAku2vMxDfFA
205Please respect copyright.PENANAJsnRWYjqMe
「到了喔,蔣小姐。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA2OJ0ZLAnSC
205Please respect copyright.PENANA24ZFrdYOSj
「不叫我做蔣醫生了?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAY5f98szlYm
205Please respect copyright.PENANARXaQES182Y
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAXc1Jq1KJX7
205Please respect copyright.PENANAMsDL1WWPQr
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAQeJANrvNwq
205Please respect copyright.PENANAGfCnff2pHL
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA40BtfddEyo

⋯⋯啊啊,還是中計了。205Please respect copyright.PENANA7I4RKNJUCM

「鴻哥,後天⋯⋯不,大後天晚上你開工嗎?」205Please respect copyright.PENANA9iVGujsYec
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZkYhoiwoJE

205Please respect copyright.PENANA56gpllKfF3
鴻哥先是一楞,然後點點頭:「放心,那晚的車我只留給你!」205Please respect copyright.PENANAqWiwciuy0M
205Please respect copyright.PENANAncb2eovuSk
「那麼晚安了。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAPOhSkYtA2a
205Please respect copyright.PENANA3SfreSKH7g
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。
