Chapter 564

Human beings need a reason to murder their own kind. Whether they want money or hate, even if they are purely for fun to obtain morbid satisfaction, they must have a reason.

This is the criminal motive in criminal psychology.

From the current situation, all the people present have criminal motives. After all, one less person can share one less inheritance. However, if we add the consideration of "who is most beneficial to the death of the old count", the number of suspects will be reduced to the countess in an instant, at most plus her lover burlik.

However, it is not enough to have a criminal motive alone, but also the conditions for committing a crime.

This is not a condition for killing people. This can be explained by "gang crime". The real problem is the location of the body.

The old count was found inside the seemingly "completely sealed" glass wall. He knew that the only people who opened the secret door were lawyer Abel, two servants and anasta. The two most suspected murderers don't know the secret entrance.

Of course, they may find it themselves, or get it from others, or simply get it from the old count.

But overall, the probability is still relatively low.

Because the two players have spent almost all their time in the library since they arrived at the mansion. If someone didn't tell them, it would take a lot of time to find it alone, which overlaps with the positions of the two players, so they contradict each other.

In short, those who have the ability to dump the body have insufficient motive for killing, and those who have sufficient motive for killing have no ability to dump the body.

An Yi pointed to the names of each person in his notebook and thought of a possibility.

Will someone lie in the confession? They say they don't know each other, but they do?

This makes a lot of sense.

At first, Ann Yizhi always considered Countess Lydia and burlik as a group. She preconceived that the murderers of the gang were them, but if Lydia cooperated with others, such as a lawyer. In this way, the motive for killing and the conditions for throwing the body in the secret room are all available. It is likely to be a lie to say that you don't know.

As soon as I read this, it suddenly became clear, but there was still a problem that I couldn't get around anyway.

Evidence.

He doesn't have any evidence. Besides, Lydia + lawyer is only one of the possibilities. Maybe it was Lydia + anasta. Even who the suspect is, let alone solve it.

But one thing, Lydia can't escape.

There was no evidence, just a feeling. Ann pointed to the feeling that Lydia was lying.

An Yi pointed out that considering these, the inquiry continued.

This time, Charlie, the valet, came in. He seemed a little nervous. He might have been frightened by Ann's random drawing of a gun and never dared to look at him.

However, there was no problem with the testimony. When asked what he was doing at the time of the crime, he would only get the answer that he was sleeping, and there was little progress.

Later, turning to interpersonal relations, he told them that he and his wife Mary had just been married for a month. Shortly after their marriage, they were hired by lawyer Abel as a servant of Mr. Edward's house. They didn't know any other guests except Abel, and they didn't hear any rumors.

When asked about Mr. Edward, Charlie said that they had only seen Mr. Edward once. It was in the hospital. He explained some precautions about the mansion to them, and then they came here in the lawyer's car until now.

"You said you arrived here in Abel's car? Do you remember what car Abel drove?"

"Remember, he has a black Ford parked outside the door."

Ford?

Ann clearly remembers that when Abel came, he drove a Rolls Royce.

Charlie answered this:

"The Rolls Royce phantom was the owner's car and was given to Mr. Abel as a reward for the will reader and notary."

In other words, two of the cars parked in front of the mansion are owned by lawyer Abel.

So, the lawyer did come to the mansion first, then left on foot, and finally came back in a Rolls Royce that once belonged to Mr. Edward

But why?

I can't figure this out for the time being. An Yizhi feels that it may be related to the treasure.

The most troublesome thing about this copy is that the clues about the treasure are likely to be intertwined with the clues about the murder, rather than single-line processing, which requires the player's ability to distinguish, otherwise he will be confused.

Ann had doubted Charlie before, because his suspicion was higher than that of lawyer and anasta, and lower than that of Lydia and burlik.

The reason, of course, is one word.

Money.

As a servant, he certainly did not expect that he would have the opportunity to inherit part of the fortune from the millionaire. Even if it was only a half of it, it was enough to make him crazy.

It's like an ordinary person who comes home and suddenly finds that there are millions of winning lottery tickets at home.

But this is not always a good thing. If you can't control it, evil desires will breed in the bottom of your heart.

Wouldn't it be more if there was one less person?

Moreover, from the perspective that the victim is the old count, he is old and frail. He is the easiest person to deal with except anasta. The others are either young or young. Therefore, from this perspective, the two servants Charlie and Mary are also highly suspected.

It's just that sentence. There's no evidence.

After Charlie left, his wife and another servant Mary came in next.

She looked pale as if she had not recovered from her shock.

It's no wonder that ordinary people will suffer a strong spiritual impact when they suddenly see the body. If it is put in kesulu TRPG, it's a carnival of San value

Her testimony also has no problem, which is basically consistent with Charlie's, but she knows anasta. To be exact, she has heard of anasta's rumors.

"That's what I did as a maid in another master's house. My colleague mentioned that miss anasta came from Mr. Edward's hometown in Switzerland. Mr. Edward brought it back when he returned home and temporarily placed it in a villa in the city."

Write 'from Switzerland' on the page about anasta in the notebook, and then Ann pointed and asked:

"What else do you know about her?"

Mary thought for a moment and hesitated:

"I don't know if it's strange..."

"Please."

"Miss anasta was the first to arrive yesterday morning, but I didn't hear the sound of the car engine and there was no parking outside."

"Are you sure you didn't hear any traffic?"

"Well, I'm sure I was just wiping my master's clock in the corridor. When I heard the doorbell ring and looked out of the window, I saw Miss anasta standing at the door."

Did she come from the foot of the mountain without taking a bus?

Although it's not a distance that can't be reached by walking, it takes 40 minutes to drive to the nearest city. It can be imagined that it takes time to walk. I'm afraid it's impossible with the physical strength of anasta's sister.

But maybe someone drove her to the door of the mansion and then turned back. This possibility also exists.

The more you ask, the thicker the fog on anasta.

Although it may have nothing to do with the murder, anasta must not be so harmless to humans and animals on the surface. She must have hidden some secrets.

Just

I'm afraid I can't ask

Seeing off the maid Mary, the last person to be questioned was naturally anasta.

"Please sit down, miss anasta. Don't be nervous. We won't ask questions unrelated to the murder."

I thought anasta would be nervous, so Ann added one more sentence, but I didn't expect that people were not nervous, but full of interest.

"Can you show me your notepad? It's said that the police always fill the Notepad every time they handle a case, isn't it true? How many cases have you worked together? Do you need a warehouse to hold those case files? I heard that Mr. an, you are a famous detective. Can you tell me some stories about your case solving? Next, go search for clues and take me with you ？”

It's not just fun, it's fun!

Before ANN could ask a question, anasta flashed her big eyes and muttered like a string of guns.

"Miss anasta, you don't seem to have any reaction to the count's body..."

Anasta didn't mean to be frightened by the body at all. Except that she didn't look very well at first, she now felt elated.

"Body? I've seen it."

"Yes, you've seen the body?"

It's Ann's turn to be surprised.

"Of course, in the book."

“……”

In the book, I've seen three thousand harem beauties! Is the result useful!

There was something wrong with her brain circuit. She didn't feel anything wrong with her answer.

Maybe she has strong paranoia?

This is not uncommon. Strictly speaking, the second grade disease is also a kind of paranoia. An Yizhi and she may have some common language

After uncovering this paragraph, an Yizhi and Tu Hongyu began to ask about business.

"Did you know anyone else before you again?"

"It's the first time we've met except when we've heard of Mr. Abel."

Anasta's testimony was consistent with that of Abel. Neither of them had met, but they had heard of each other, presumably from Mr. Edward between them.

"What were you doing at the time of the crime“

Tu Hongyu asked boring questions. He has asked this sentence many times, and the answer is only "sleeping". This time, he has a different answer.

"I'm reading."

"Reading in the early morning?"

Or do you keep reading until early in the morning?

However, from the current contact situation, anasta really likes reading. She brings a book with her at almost any time. It can be understood whether she gets up in the morning to read or reads until the morning.

"Since you are reading, have you heard any sound or found anything unusual."

An Yizhi hurriedly asked, and finally there was a different answer.

"Abnormal sound?"

Anasta thought:

"I didn't hear it. There was no sound except the footsteps of guardians patrolling the corridor."

Guardian again!

An Yi pointed and thought about it. The guardian may be an important clue given by the system, but he asked several people. Many people only know about it. They don't know the details. Maybe they can learn about it through anasta.

"What else do you know about the guardian?"

Anasta looked at Ann strangely and said, "does this have anything to do with the murder?" But she said:

"It is an automatic patrol doll made by Mr. Edward. It looks very powerful. In fact, it has no combat effectiveness and will not attack anyone. It just walks according to the established time and route every day."

"Do you know its route?"

Anasta shook her head and said:

"All I know is that it will come out for a walk at three in the morning. I don't know what route to take."

It sounds like it has nothing to do with the murder. An Yizhi just wrote one more note in his notebook, and then he felt a headache.

What exactly does this copy mean?
