From Biluen's body, Mary drew two important clues.
One is the approximate time of Bi Luen's death.
The second is the fake phone call Gunna received.
Biluen was already dead before he spoke to Gunna, so how did Biluun, who was already dead at the time, make this call?
Mary was curious.
She took a closer look at Biluen's body again.
His expression was in pain, and there were a lot of scratch marks on his neck, as well as the strangulation marks left by the rope...
Um?
Suddenly, Mary tilted her head and glanced at the strangulation marks again, and nodded slightly in sudden realization.
She was negligent before, and there was something wrong with this strangulation mark.
The strangulation marks were under the throat of Biluen's neck and were relatively horizontal. These were not the strangulation marks left by a person who hanged himself.
Because if it is a person who hanged to death, the strangulation marks are usually upward on the throat, and the direction should also be upward.
This means that Biluen was not hanged. He had been strangled with a rope long before he was hung outside the tower.
Judging from the strangulation marks, the murderer should have strangled Bi Luen to death with a rope from behind.
Interesting, did you strangle someone and then hang the body outside the tower? How did the murderer do this without telling everyone and not worrying about being noticed by people in the annex? Could it be that the murderer was in the dungeon at that time?
Suddenly, Mary remembered the electric lamp with scratches on the metal decorative ring that she had seen in the corridor.
After closing her eyes and thinking carefully, Mary suddenly lifted Biluen's jacket and glanced at the belt around his waist.
If this is the case, then Biluun's belt should be the most likely place.
And the fact is exactly as Mary expected. There are also very obvious scratches and damage on the back side of Biluen's belt. It seems that some thin thread has been tightened and rubbed in this area.
What's even more strange is that there are some black and red stains on Biluen's shirt near these scratches.
[So it turns out, it’s a bold but full of flaws. 】
At this moment, the murderer's method was completely solved. Under her thick sunglasses, Mary looked at one of the people in the watchtower.
But she didn't reveal it right away because she still needed evidence.
She stood up and walked over to take a look at the electric lamp inside the watchtower. She also saw similar scratches on the metal ring of the lamp.
Then she walked out of the watchtower and continued down the stairs and corridors. She found that the metal rings of the electric lights on one side along the way had similar scratches on them, which was completely consistent with her speculation.
As for the metal fragment she stepped on before, Mary picked it up and took a look at it this time. She found that there were also some black and red stains on the outside of the fragment that looked like solidified liquid.
[This is one of the important physical evidences. 】
Carefully collecting the fragment, Mary continued walking down until she was out of the stair corridor and in front of the dungeon door.
This dungeon castle has a long history, and its door is made of wood. Mary looked at the wooden door, trying to find something special from it.
In her speculation, this door is actually the most critical step for the murderer to complete this series of plans.
Therefore, there must be some mechanism on it that the murderer does not have time to deal with.
Finally, somewhere on the upper side of the door, Mary saw a nail, a nail that was not completely driven in.
This is a useless nail. It will not have any meaning if it is hammered here. Its only use is to help the murderer complete his method of pretending to be the victim.
Logically speaking, from the moment Biluen's body was discovered, the murderer should have recovered the nail.
But unfortunately, the murderer had neither time nor opportunity, because while forging an alibi for himself, the murderer was forced to act with everyone, and there was no suitable time for him to recover the nail.
Withdrawing her gaze, Mary walked out of the door.
There was a small river outside the dungeon castle. Mary walked along the outside of the castle until she reached the corresponding bottom of the watchtower. A few steps away was the flowing river.
Looking up at the watchtower above, Mary followed the direction of the river and walked along the river. After walking a hundred meters, she finally found what she wanted.
It was a piece of cloth washed up on the shore, one meter wide and two meters long, with tiny holes in two corners.
One side of this piece of cloth is black, and the other side is brown similar to the color of the castle's exterior.
Mary reached out and picked up the piece of cloth, and also fished out the thin thread wrapped around the piece of cloth.
This circle of thin thread was very strong and extremely long. Mary stretched it by the river for a long time before she could collect all the thin thread.
And at the end of these thin lines, there is a wooden sign tied to it.
【it is ready. 】
Finding this, Mary felt it was enough, and the next step was to find the murderer.
Taking these things, she turned back to the dungeon and followed the staircase corridor back to the watchtower. At this moment, the detectives here were still discussing the truth about Biluen's death fiercely, while Barry, the kingdom's police chief, crossed his arms with his chest. He leaned aside and watched this scene coldly.
Glancing at Captain Gunnar, who was also discussing with the detectives, Mary walked straight to Barry and asked:
"Chief Barry, may I ask the prisoner who escaped from prison that was notified on the radio before, has the Kingdom Police caught him?"
The translator beside him repeated Mary's words in Andrewian, and then Barry replied: "Don't worry, the police are searching and they will catch him soon."
"Um."
Mary nodded, and Gunnar, who was originally discussing with the detectives, glanced at her subconsciously after hearing her voice.
And this glance happened to let him see the piece of cloth and the circle of thin thread in Mary's hand, and an extremely shocked expression suddenly appeared on that handsome face.
At this moment, Mary turned to look at him, and the two looked at each other. Behind Mary's sunglasses, Gunnar seemed to see her playful eyes.
Why? Why do those things appear in her hands?
"Okay everyone, no need to discuss this anymore."
Under Gunnar's confused eyes, Mary suddenly called out to everyone.
"I have found the murderer of Commander Birun."
After the translator repeated this sentence, Barry's remaining right eye looked at Mary quite unexpectedly.
Not only him, but the other detectives, officers and police officers in the watchtower also looked over with the same look.
Only Gunnar seemed to be distracted by the two things in Mary's hands, and he was extremely nervous.
Without doing anything extra, Mary looked directly at Gunnar under the gaze of everyone and said:
"The murderer is you, Captain Gunnar."
I’m so sleepy, I’ll wait for an extra update tomorrow (﹃)
