Brave World

Judging from the situation at the time of the case, it is naturally the old Steward who is the least suspect.

Because he was replacing the fuse at that time, and he didn’t return to the house until a few minutes after the light turned on.

Of course, even though the power outage was self-directed and performed by what device he used, and the electricity was restored regularly to produce an alibi, it was raining heavily outside. An Yizhi saw him from the window outside the house. Passing by, if he turns back and kills, there is no water stain around the impossible body.

Even if he enters the house with clean boots, it is impossible to leave no trace at all. In that kind of heavy rain, let alone holding an umbrella, wearing a raincoat is not very effective.

So he is the only one who is not regarded as an important suspect by An Yizhi. This time I asked him more about other people.

“Mr. Steward, I want to ask you how much do you know about the guests present?”

“Everyone is meeting for the first time. I don’t know any guests except the name.”

An Yizhi nodded, Steward’s answer is consistent with Monston’s testimony. Everyone present is basically not familiar with each other. At most, they have heard the rumors or have had several connections.

“I heard that you and all the servants were hired recently, right?”

“Yes, I was hired about a year ago, other People are slightly later than me, and I was entrusted by Master to recruit them.”

One year ago…

Hammill said that the last time he came here was two years ago. The people are not them, which means that after he came, what happened to Steward in the year that Steward was hired made Eugene fire the last group of servants.

“Do you know why the previous servants were fired?”

“No, they were not fired”

Old Steward shook his head and replied:

p>

“They are dead”

“They are dead?”

“Yes, they died in a fire. The official investigation found that the last chef was making supper at night The fire caused by the stove was not turned off. When the flames burned up until late at night, everyone fell asleep. When the fire burned, they could not escape.”

“But Mr. Eugene seems to be fine”

p>

“The owner was not at home at that time. In fact, he rarely came back. Generally, he would come back for a few days from October to November each year. Most of the time he would live in the city.”

So It seems that Eugene’s employment of so few servants can be explained. After all, it is only used to see the house, not that many people.

“Where did the fire happen? When did it happen?”

“Time…about two years ago, it should be less than two years ago. As for where it happened, I don’t know, I guess it’s a new house. When the owner hired me, all traces of it had been redecorated.”

“Why do you think it is a new house?”

“Because there is only The traces there are the latest. The library and the owner’s bedroom were moved from the old house after I came, but…”

“But what?”

” Sorry, I just remembered the master’s unfathomable mystery’s request. He said that he is not allowed to stay in the old house after 12 o’clock in the evening, and lock all doors and windows before then, saying that the servants who died in the accident will appear to hang out at night “

A ghost? Damn it, isn’t this another script with some scary stuff?

“Don’t you think it’s weird? Besides, since the rumors are haunted, why do you accept this job?”

“It’s so strange that I don’t think I have served several hosts. The old houses like them all have unfathomable mystery rules and legends. As for why they accepted this job…”

Old Steward straightened his waist, his figure looked like a young man Strong young man:

“I’m at this age, I just hope I can find a place that will not be too leisurely, but can also provide for the elderly”

Don’t say, His job is really not too tiring. Usually, he mainly cleans the desks and chairs to clean up the room and so on. At most, the owner is responsible for entertaining guests when he comes home, which is in line with what Steward said.

“No offense, what do you think of the victim?”

“The master is not easy to get along with”

Old Steward didn’t care, he The evaluation of Eugene was basically the same as that of others, and then the conversation changed: “However, this degree of arrogance is normal among the nobles, and may be difficult to understand from the perspective of ordinary people.”

“I see, thank you for your cooperation, I want to investigate Mr. Eugene’s room later, can you? Maybe I can find the reason why he was killed”

hearing this steward Stan hesitated a little, But he still agreed to open Eugene’s room for their investigation.

After the old Steward left, An Yizhi said to Tu Hongyu:

“Old Steward has a problem”

“Oh?”

An Yizhi poses as’there is only one truth’:

“The most impossible person who commits a crime is often the murderer. I have seen everything through!”

“…From the detective novel It’s a rule, what about the evidence?”

“No”

“…”

“Then you say a fart!”

Tu Hongyu’s headache holding his forehead, watching from the sideline is really all kinds of embarrassment. As soon as he thinks that he has been stupid like this second disease, his head hurts more and more…

Dividing line

There are a total of eight suspects, and three servants are left without questioning.

The answer of the male servant and the maid is almost the same as that of the old steward, they are all recruited by the old steward, including the rule that no wandering in the old house after midnight, and the evaluation of the employer Eugene .

The last person, the cook who was accused by Monston as the murderer, said something different.

When asked if she knew the guests present, she said that except for An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu, everyone had met.

“Please elaborate, when and where did you meet them”

“Okay, Mr. Detective”

The chef Oliver frowns works hard Recalling time:

“Before I was hired by Mr. Eugene, I used to be a trainee chef in a restaurant in the city. I remember that it was about two years ago, Mr. Eugene, Mr. Mr. Ston and his wife ate dinner together. Because I am very good at making soup, Mr. Eugene generously gave me a lot of tips, so I have a deep memory.”

“Charles What?”

“Sorry, I can’t remember the exact time when I met Mr. Charles. It seems that it was also during that period. I only have some impressions of him”

” Are you sure what you saw is not a photo? Mr. Charles’s deeds have appeared in newspapers several times.”

“No, I’m pretty sure what I saw was Daoist. It seems to be in the place where I worked. I have seen it in the restaurant, but the exact time is…”

It’s no wonder that after two years, the cook remembers that 80% of Eugene’s people are still looking at the tip. Maybe it’s Charles. He was just going to eat, and he was a celebrity, Oliver took a few more glances and left an impression.

“Oh, by the way, I remember being with him is very similar to him. Although the beard and demeanor are a little different, the facial contours are the same”

“People who are very similar “

Mrs. Green once mentioned that Charles had a twin brother who disappeared during the war in North Africa. Could it be him? But the official record is missing…

An Yizhi thinks of the term deserter.

Maybe Charles’ twin brother couldn’t stand the battlefield environment, and secretly became a deserter, waiting for the end of the war before changing his face.

In this era, it is easy to forge identities, especially the chaos caused by wars, so it is not particularly difficult for a person who has been officially recorded missing and died to step onto the stage again.

But…

Charles’ deserter brother seems to have nothing to do with Eugene’s killing. The relationship between the two is ineffective. Is this also a clue? ?

In short, make a note of it first, and we will talk about it later.

Olif looked at An Yizhi in thought anxiously. The murder weapon for killing Eugene was the Bone Blade under her management. He met a confused detective who was eager to close the case. Really treat her as a murderer.

“Mr. Ann, please believe me, I am really not a murderer, I dare not even slaughter animals”

“en? Since you dare not slaughter animals, I eat them for dinner How did the ingredients come from?”

The air conditioners in this era are all super-large equipment, and there is no such thing as a refrigerated car. The vegetables and fruits that are kept for a long time are good to say, fresh meat and the like. There is no guarantee that it will not spoil during transportation.

So the country villas of wealthy people usually eat freshly killed animals.

“is Master, he likes doing this very much. Mr. Monston also joked that if the master goes to the slaughterhouse to kill pigs, he must be the most skilled butcher”

Looking at the dressing of successful people in Eugene Sven, I can’t imagine that there is even this hobby.

“You can go back now”

“Then I…”

“Don’t worry, I will not accuse someone of being a murderer without evidence. From now on Look at your suspicion is very low”

Regardless of whether Olive’s anxiety is pretended or not, her chances of committing crimes are about the same as those of old Steward. If you come to the restaurant from the house, it will definitely pass The servants and maids who are doing the dishes in the kitchen will leave visible marks if she enters the house from the exit outside the storage room.

In fact, the whole thing seems to be impossible for everyone to commit a crime. If nothing else, the technique alone is very confusing.

How did the murderer find Eugene’s heart in the dark? How did you get Eugene with his back to the wall to be hit in the back?

The scene environment An Yizhi has carefully looked at and there is no trace of any organs left, so this can be ruled out.

“What’s the next step?”

I have also asked all the questions. The confessions of several people have almost no weak spots, and there is nothing suspicious about it. Tu Hongyu looked worried at the rows of handwriting recorded in the notebook.

“There is a way in the world that only you can take. You can never ask where it leads, just go forward BY: Nietzsche”

“…speaking of people”

“Well, I want to go to the few places they mentioned”

It is impossible to infer the whole story based on confession, instead of waiting here to worry It’s better to go to the scene to see how the situation is.

“Let’s go, just now you asked for the old steward to ask for the key is the same plan?”

“I’m waiting”

“Waiting for?”

“Waiting for the event to happen”

tone barely fell, just listen to the old steward’s rapid knock on the door:

“Mr. Ann, Mister Tu! Suspension bridge The suspension bridge is gone!”

“Did you know?”

Tu Hongyu said in surprise.

“Ah, this is the smell, the smell of conspiracy”

“…”

With the second disease, my heart is so tired…
