03. "When I was accused, I made an understatement joke and passed it perfunctorily. ”
The top hat landed on a bush of flowers.
In the midst of the flowers and plants, Mu Su came close and reached out to grab the top hat and put it back on. He glanced back covertly, and the flowers and trees were all the way, and there was no longer this place in sight.
Everything was within his plans. He had to act alone.
In the background of the plot revealed by Eugene, the murderer is hidden among these people. Everyone is suspicious.
Mu Su wants to rush to the scene of the murder before all the suspects. Find useful clues.
His pants and coat were soaked with dew along the way, and he squirmed all the way to the bottom of the wall of the mansion, and along the wall to a maid who was sweeping the fallen leaves not far away.
"Don't make a sound."
He covered his mouth and pulled the panicked maid into the shadows.
Just about to struggle, the maid thought that there would be a TV station here to shoot today, so the panic faded, her bright eyes blinked, and she looked at Mu Su's side face with a slight widen.
"I'm a detective commissioned by the police to investigate the murder. Let go of you now and don't make a sound. ”
The maid nodded.
Mu Su let go of her. The maid stepped back a little, her eyes looking around for something with curiosity, and then landed on Mu Su.
"Your master Wei ...... Belch...... Wei ......"
"Mr. Wesley."
"To Wesley. Where is the place of his death. ”
The maid pointed upstairs, and Mu Su looked up to see a window on the second floor that had been opened, but the curtains had been drawn.
The green vines meander all over the exterior wall of the mansion, which is quite sturdy. Mu Su had an idea, and after saying goodbye to the maid, he bit his hat in her surprised gaze, grabbed Qingteng's hands and feet, and climbed up.
He had to get to the scene as soon as possible, before anyone else.
……
"Mr. Wesley had the vision taken out at the age of 23, so we don't have access to a video record of him before he died. According to the post-mortem analysis, Mr. Wesley died at 3 a.m. and the cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation. We found dark red choke marks on his neck. After comparison, the size of Wesley's palm is consistent with his fingerprints. The duration was roughly twenty to thirty-five seconds, and the first to notice was early-"
"Do you police want to say that my brother strangled himself to death! He would never do that. He was killed! In the hallway, a violent shouting rang out suddenly. Wesley's brother Fast in the crowd expressed a different opinion. And cast hateful glances at Lancelot and Monroe. Then he suddenly pointed at the two and shouted, "I know, you must be with them and want to fight for my Addams family property!" ”
Fast was unkempt and wore a dirty sweater. The perennial wine has hollowed out his body, and his face is sallow.
Shi Qi silently recorded this scene.
Fast: The deceased's younger brother; Eligible to inherit; irritability; There is a deep contradiction with the second son of the deceased;
Eugene pushed open the door of the study, with a touch of anger on his face, and said in a cold voice: "I'm just explaining to Shiqi's assistant what the police have confirmed, and whether it's right or wrong can't be judged now." ”
"Then what's the use of us spending money to feed you moths! If you can't solve a single case, you have to go to the detective for help! ”
Eugene was about to open his mouth when a cold voice rang out.
"The meaning of the police is to maintain the law and the order derived from it. The point of a detective is to solve various puzzles for the client by observing and collecting clues. Specialized in the arts. You can't have an all-around athlete and a sprinter race for a sprint. ”
Ishiki spoke his opinion. "It comes down to Mr. Wesley's fault for taking out the horizon when he was young."
"What the do you say—" Fast's eyes were bloodshot as he tried to rush up. A tall figure blocked him.
Eugene said expressionlessly: "Mr. Fast, are you going to attack the citizens he protects in front of the police?" ”
Fast's cheeks twitched, and he said something you are waiting to leave angrily.
"I'm sorry, but my father and uncle have always had a good relationship. He...... Spoiled by my father. ”
Lancelot said apologetically, and took the lead in entering the study, "Come in, this is where my father was killed." ”
The crowd followed and entered.
There were signs of the door being knocked open, and the blankets on the floor were left with wood chips falling from the door. The study room is clean and tidy, and the bookcases attached to the wall are full of ancient books. The fiery red wool blanket is outlined in a human shape by white lines, in front of the table.
The neat placement of pens, lamps, and paper on the table indicates that Wesley died with no obvious signs of struggle.
The self-justification on Musu's aircraft happened to test out a few keys: the deceased killed him, and the murderer was in this group of people.
As if touching the pain inside, Lancelot's wife, Kimberly, began to sob softly. Her eyes were red, and she seemed to have cried earlier.
Shi Qi swept across everyone's faces.
Wesley's wife, Sarah, was overly sad and stayed in her bedroom to be cared for by a maid. Lancelot's good man gestured softly to comfort his wife. The youngest son, Monroe, has no emotion on his face and is a rebellious boy. The head maid, Audrey, is quite old and has a seemingly gentle and kind personality.
Everyone has a standard personality template.
Eugene continued as before: "The first thing I noticed was Audrey who was tidying up her study in the morning. After discovering that the door was locked, she went to the bedroom to wake Sarah, and the two of them went to knock on the door again. After a long time, Audrey called Lancelot to knock the door open. Wesley was found dead on the ground. Then the police called us and we came. ”
"The doors and windows were locked from the inside, and no new fingerprints were found on the doors and windows. In other words, no outsiders entered the 10 hours that Wesling entered the bedroom until the time the dead were discovered. ”
The head maid, Audrey, lowered her eyebrows and sighed, with a sad face: "Sir has never been in the habit of locking the door. He loves the rain very much, and every time it rains, he will open the window in the study and listen to the sound of the rain to read for a long time...... It didn't rain much last night, and he couldn't have locked the windows and closed the curtains......"
Just as she finished speaking, the curtain that swayed slightly in the wind suddenly protruded, forming an outline.
The silhouette clearly highlights the human form, and then it falls with a thud. Mu Su hurriedly got up, and looked up to find that everyone in the study didn't blink.
Damn it...... It's late......
Secretly gritting his teeth, Mu Su smiled forcefully: "It's all ...... It's all here. ”
The atmosphere that was a little suspenseful and weird just now was destroyed without a trace in an instant.
"Shepherd's beautiful detective is really Yaxing." Sun Meili is half improvised, half complaining.
Mu Su craned his neck to defend: "I'm simulating the murderer's route." If there is a murderer, he can only enter and exit through doors and windows. ”
In order to restore the majesty lost from the previous scandal, Mu Su turned his back and put on his top hat. His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally walked to the man who stood in the corner of the unsociable, without saying a word from beginning to end.
He asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" Why is it here. What do you have to do with the Addams family? ”
Eugene coughed lightly and reminded him.
"That's just the photographer, the staff."
