"Absolutely!" Mary nodded, smiled at Marcus and explained, "Everyone is here, and you can also testify to my judgment!" ”

Marcus couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Mary's gourd, so he could only follow her wishes and let all the family members come one after another.

Mary cleared her throat, first explained her analysis of the body of the head of the house, still the speculation she had made with David before, and continued: "The head of the house was killed at about eleven o'clock at night, I want to know, at this time, where everyone is and what they are doing, can there be evidence from others!" ”

Mary winked at Lucy, who pointed to a few people, and Mary asked the members of the Mankiw family who were drinking with Lucy's brother Ivan.

"What were you doing on the night the head of the house was killed?"

"We're drinking and having fun......"

"You guys? What are the exactly? Mary asked, raising an eyebrow.

Several members pointed out to each other, none of them mentioned Ivan, Mary didn't know if they were all bribed, and deliberately smiled and reminded: "Except for a few of you, there is no one else?" Like what...... Ivan? ”

The people immediately looked at each other, and one of them, because he had a good relationship with Ivan, replied honestly: "There is indeed an Ivan ......."

Mary nodded, and continued to ask, "And then when are you partying?" ”

"I forgot the specific time, I only remember the cuckoo outside!" Someone scratched his hair and replied hesitantly: "Everyone drank a lot of wine, and they didn't look at the time!" ”

"And where the carnival ends? Did you go back to sleep? Mary nodded and continued.

"I didn't go back, but stayed in the carnival place and fell asleep, and then I got up and went to the toilet, and then I was awakened by the news that the head of the family was killed!"

"What's the pattern of your cuckoo calls here?" Mary turned to one of the guards again.

"Call once at eight o'clock at night, once at eleven o'clock, once at three o'clock in the middle of the night, and once at seven o'clock in the morning......" replied the guard honestly, not daring to hide anything.

"So the cuckoo call they heard this time was eleven o'clock, which is not too far from the time when the head of the family was killed!" When Mary said this, she looked around at everyone, saw that everyone had no objections, and said: "So just now these people were drunk and fell asleep after the carnival, and at this time the murderer is likely to be plotting to kill the head of the family, the Ivan you suspect did not have enough time to commit the crime, he was so drunk that he didn't even hear any movement!" ”

"Maybe he deliberately pretended to be drunk, and then waited for everyone to lie down and go to the head of the house's room to murder the head of the house!" Someone disagreed with Mary's inference and immediately retorted loudly.

Some members also nodded and whispered: "Yes, even if they happen to be carnival to the cuckoo, it doesn't mean that he didn't hurt it!" ”

Mary seemed to have expected this kind of question to be raised, and said with a light smile: "If you extrapolate like this, these people present are also suspicious!" ”

"We didn't kill the head of the house!" They didn't expect that they would also become suspects, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly waved their hands to clear their names.

"When you get up and go to the bathroom, do you look around, are there all the people who are revelry?" Mary asked again to the man who said he was halfway asleep and went to the bathroom.
