It doesn't matter whether the old Count has a cuckold hobby or interest, but almost everyone in the circle knows that the Countess is out and about.

"Count Acheson has a health problem, he can't have children, so the cheating behavior, including his ex-wife, is tacitly approved by him."

"Ex-wife, is he divorced?"

"No, it's dead, it's infected...... Well, not a disease worth talking about. ”

An Yi pointed clearly.

"You said you knew Charlie and Mary's servants because they were frequent guests?"

"They were commissioned by Mr. Edward, a week before he died."

Casually adding a phrase to the relationship diagram in the notebook, 'I have known each other for a long time and may be close', An Yizhi continued to ask:

"Do you know anything about Berlick and Miss Anasta?"

"Not much"

Able shook his head and said:

"It's the first time I've heard of the name Burik, but there are some rumors about Miss Anasta."

"Speak, and I would like to hear about it."

"Miss Anasta is a cousin of Mr. Edward, and I heard that he is also a nobleman, but he has long since declined. As Mr. Edward never married and had no children, it was rumored that he had adopted Miss Anasta as his adopted daughter, but this was only a rumor. ”

For now, the credibility of the rumors is also quite limited. If you really adopt as an adopted daughter, just give her the inheritance, there is no need to make a treasure hunt, unless Edward's idle egg pain is full of bad taste......

"What else do you know about the victim?"

"Mr. Earl's finances have been in trouble lately, and he likes to invest in the stock market too much."

"That's why he is so interested in Mr. Edward's legacy."

"I think so."

Then An Yizhi asked a few other questions, such as whether the deceased had a feud with several people present, and the answer was naturally no.

There's nothing more to ask for a while, send Abel away and let the next person in.

Judging from the current clues, the most suspected murderers are Buric and Countess Lydia, these two people gave the old earl a green hat, so they are naturally suspected of murder, but even the old earl himself knows about this matter, so the motive for this murder is slightly lower. It is more likely to kill for money.

A woman in her early 20s marries an old man in her 60s, do you believe that she really loves her?

That possibility is not ruled out, but with common sense, the probability is negligible.

And unlike the last copy of the Deep Mountain Pavilion, Lydia has married the old earl, they are a legal husband and wife, once the old earl dies, the inheritance will naturally be inherited by his widow, considering that the old earl has physical problems and is unable to have children, there must be no heirs, Lydia and others murder to inherit the inheritance is more logical.

Although the old earl had some financial problems now, his legacy, as the saying goes, a camel is bigger than a horse, and his inheritance is still not to be underestimated.

Lydia's name was circled in red first, and regardless of the motive, she was the most suspicious of the crime.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"You may be seated, Mr. Burlick."

The second one to come in was Burik, and Ann Yizhi wanted to ask Lydia, the most suspect, first, but she was still dizzy, whether it was real or fake, she just couldn't get up anyway.

As the saying goes, you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Of course, it mainly depends on the method, you kick his balls to see if he wakes up......

"I'll ask, let me ask."

Tu Hongyu choked enough, he had long thought about the addiction of the police. Ann shrugged with one finger, giving him the limited opportunity to speak.

"Name"

"Burik. Joyce"

"Gender"

“……”

Sure enough, it's still this routine!

History seemed to repeat itself, and Burlick looked at Tu Hongyu with the eyes of a fool.

"Let's not come to this set, will you order anything else?"

"Isn't that the classic question?"

Too lazy to pay attention to him, An Yizhi took over the conversation:

"Mr. Burrick, where are you in the wee hours of the morning and what are you doing?"

"I was resting in my room, and I drank a bit too much whiskey after dinner, so I fell asleep as soon as I got back to my room."

Everyone was in the recreation room after dinner, and at that time Ann remembered that Buric was drinking whiskey and playing darts, and it was indeed possible that he had drunk too much.

This question basically can't ask anything, An Yizhi is just a routine, hoping to get some clues, but so far nothing has been found.

"What is your relationship with the dead?"

"I don't know, today is the first time we met."

Tu Hongyu couldn't help but say:

"You have a hot fight with other people's wives, but you don't know other people's husbands?"

"I really don't know."

Buric was amazed for a moment, as if wondering how he knew, and then said:

"But I know Lydia, who used to be a student I taught and dropped out."

Not only NTR but also teacher-student love, real Nima chaos......

"You don't seem to want to hide the relationship."

"There's nothing to hide."

Buric Says:

"I know Lydia about it, just ask casually in college, I don't have to lie about it."

"She dropped out of school because she had a relationship with you?"

"No, she dropped out of school because she was married to Monsieur Earl, and we didn't have any affection for each other, just to find some excitement, I haven't seen her since she dropped out, and I know that we met again when I came here."

The credibility of this sentence is not particularly high, after all, it is only a one-sided statement, and there is no way to prove it.

An Yizhi had no choice but to add a sentence on interpersonal relationships, and then continued to ask:

"Do you know anyone else?"

"I don't know, except for Lydia, everyone else is meeting for the first time."

"What about the rumors? Haven't heard of it either? ”

Buric shook his head:

"Mr. An, I'm just a university lecturer, and most of them are upper-class people, even if I want to get to know them, I can't help it."

That's true. Although a university lecturer is a good job, the social status is far from that of other people, and the social circle is different, so it is normal not to hear rumors about them.

But......

All this was based only on the fact that Countess Lydia had no contact with him before this, and if it was all conspired by the two of them, the above testimony would not be established at all.

So, Ann Yizhi decided to test it.

"I heard that Earl Acheson's property is invested in the stock market, and the situation is not optimistic."

"Really?"

Ann pointed to his eyes, and he didn't show the slightest flaw.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Burlick, I have nothing more to ask."

"You're welcome, I also hope to find the killer sooner, after all, he makes me feel very unsafe around us."

The two shook hands, and before Buric went out the door, he pointed and said:

"Please help wake up Lady Lydia, you know she is a key witness."

"I do my best."

Burlick's answer was unequivocal, and there was nothing wrong with either his voice or his actions.

"He's got a problem!"

After Beric left, An Yi pointed to Tu Hongyu and said.

"There's no evidence to guess intuitively, right?"

"Yes!"

“…..”

Tu Hongyu flipped through the notebook and said:

"Judging from the testimony, there seems to be nothing wrong with him, even if he is suspected of committing the crime with others, it does not mean anything"

"It's true that it can't, but it's okay to be suspicious, anyway, even if he and Lydia's confessions can match, it can be explained that the two have confessed to each other before."

"That's it?"

If you just say that there is something wrong with the people, there will be no suspicious people in the whole house, including the two of them.

An Yizhi took out a pipe from his pocket and put it in his mouth, sat on the sofa with his hands and knees in his hands, and said in a hoarse and low voice:

"Nothing is possible, and the rest is the truth, even if it is unbelievable"

“……”

This has something to do with the problem! You really just want to pretend to be this force!

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Next to come in was Countess Lydia, with some tears on her face and her eyeshadow. However, it is unknown whether these tears are real or acting.

At least on the surface, you can't directly pick it out, it would be too ugly, An Yizhi said euphemistically:

"Lady Lydia, I know you're grieving, but allow me to ask a few questions."

"I'm willing to cooperate, Mr. Ahn."

This time, he didn't give Tu Hongyu a chance to continue to enjoy himself, and asked:

"Where were you in the wee hours of the morning? Do what? ”

"Sleep in your room."

"Was Mr. Earl there then?"

"Yes, we got back to our room and drank some brandy from the wine cabinet, and then we slept together."

At least the Count was alive last night, which was true, and in line with the time of death indicated by the corpse spots.

"When did you find out that Mr. Earl was missing?"

"Probably...... It's about 5:30 in the morning, and my husband doesn't sleep much, so I'm used to waking up early. ”

"Because he has a habit of morning exercises, at first you thought that Monsieur Earl was just going to do morning exercises, right?"

"Yes."

This was mentioned by Lydia before the discovery of the body.

From the time the two of them fell asleep to the time they woke up in the morning to find that the Count was not around, the murder that occurred in the past few hours, but one person who slept next to him got up, and the other person should have some impression, so An Yizhi asked again:

"Didn't you notice anything unusual?"

Lydia thought for a moment and said:

"Like, there was some movement, but I don't remember exactly."

When a person is awakened by a little movement, he or she is likely to be in a hazy state, and it is normal for him to remember clearly.

"What time was that?"

"Hmm...... It should have been four o'clock, and in a daze, I looked at the clock placed at the head of the bed. ”

"What is that movement, Mr. Earl?"

"It's a heavy footstep sound, which seems to be in the hallway."

Heavy footsteps...... Is it movable armor?

"Do you know what that is?"

"I've heard from my husband that Mr. Edward has made a kind of mechanical puppet that patrols at night."

It seems that An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu are not the only ones who know about this, maybe you can ask others if they heard this movement.

"Was Monsieur Earl still there then?"

Tu Hongyu saw what An Yizhi was thinking, so he asked for him.

"It should still be with me, I can feel it."

If Lydia's testimony is true, then the old count was still alive at four o'clock in the morning.

Ann pointed down his notes and asked the next question:

"How are you in relation to other people?"

"It's the first time we've met."

"Don't know Buric either?"

"Well, now that you already know, yes, I do have something to do with Burlick."

It seems that she doesn't really want to talk about Burlik, after all, cheating is not honorable.

Her description is essentially the same as that of Burik, mentioning that Buric was once a lecturer at his university.

"I heard from Perrick that you've been in some contact with him since you dropped out of school?"

An Yizhi tentatively fused.

"No, we didn't have any contact with each other, and although I don't know why he lied, yesterday was the first time I had seen each other since I dropped out of school."

It seems that temptation is useless, the other party is not fooled at all.

However, such a shallow temptation is nothing in front of well-prepared criminals, who will surely anticipate the scene of being interrogated.

The inquiry was more difficult than expected, and there were no clues to Lydia being the murderer for the time being, so I hope Anasta, who has been brought up by them, can give some useful hints......
