"enough!"
In the king's bedroom, the king's brother Preburn finally lost his patience. He interrupted the butler Ole's entanglement with a roar and said angrily:
"Ole! Don't mess around with me here. As the highest officer of the kingdom's police, Barry died in the king's castle unknowingly. This matter must be explained to our citizens! The murderer must be found. come out!"
"But……"
After saying that, Preburn didn't give Ole a chance to speak anymore. He turned to look at Mary behind him and said directly:
"Detective Mary, I'll leave the rest to you. I believe you can find the murderer of Barry and give Brother Wang and me the truth."
"Of course, Your Highness Preborn."
Mary nodded slightly and smiled.
“Then, let me start with the cause of Chief Barry’s death.
Although the body of Chief Bali was first found in the central courtyard below, in fact, according to our investigation, the place where he was actually killed was actually in the king's bedroom where we are now. "
"Humph." As soon as Mary said this, Preburn sneered and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
As for Olei, who was standing in front of King Henning's ancient bed, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly said:
"Detective Mary, since the body was found in the central courtyard, Chief Barry should have been killed there, right? How could it be in His Majesty the King's bedroom? Are you guys..."
"It can't be in the central courtyard." Mary interrupted him directly and explained: "Chief Barry's fatal injury was the dagger on his back that penetrated his chest.
Such a fatal penetrating injury did not leave any traces of blood spatter in the entire central courtyard, nor the blood that should have poured out after the injury. This is not logical at all.
Of course, what's more important is that Chief Barry still has many fractures caused by falling from a high place.
These points alone are enough to prove that the central courtyard was not the real murder scene of Chief Barley. He was killed somewhere else and then hidden there. "
"B-but, this doesn't mean that Chief Bali is under the King's command..."
"The reason why it must be in His Majesty the King's bedroom is because we found absolute evidence."
Without getting entangled with Ole, Mary looked at King Heningu who was sitting on the bed and asked directly:
"Your Majesty, there should be a carpet in your bedroom, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Ou Lei's pupils shrank suddenly, but Hening Gu still closed his eyes to rest.
"This, this, there is indeed a piece..." It was Ou Lei who replied, his tone was stammering, sweat broke out on his forehead, and the expression on his face suddenly became nervous.
"Where is that carpet now?" Mary looked at him and tapped the floor under her feet with her toes.
The place she was stepping on was exactly where the carpet should have been.
"Speaking of which, I did not see the carpet in Brother Wang's room today... Ou Lei, where was that carpet taken?" Although he didn't know the reason, Pui saw Ou Lei suddenly becoming so nervous. Ben also echoed Mary.
"Well, the carpet... was a little dirty, so I asked the maids to take care of it this morning..." Under Preborn's pressure, Ou Lei's eyes wandered and he stammered.
"Well, which maids are those? Can Butler Ole tell us?" Mary continued to ask, directly forcing the general into a blind corner.
"No, it's just a carpet... Detective Mary, why are you asking this? Does this have anything to do with Chief Barry's murder?"
"Of course, because Chief Barry died on that carpet. It is the most important physical evidence."
After Mary finished speaking, she looked at the shocked Ou Lei and asked, "Butler Ou Lei, did you hide that carpet?"
"Uh...!" When Mary said it, Ou Lei's face turned pale instantly.
"When you were serving breakfast to His Majesty the King this morning, you pushed the body of Chief Bali from the window to the central courtyard, and then hid the blood-stained carpet in the small room where you served breakfast. In the cart, he was quietly taken out of the king's bedroom under the cover of the cart.
We have found that carpet in Chief Barley's office, and the process of transporting the carpet was also seen by Esther's maid who was in the central courtyard at that time.
In the center of the carpet, we also found residual blood stains. As for whose blood it is, it will be clear if the police do a little testing..."
"No need."
As soon as Mary finished speaking, Ole hung his head, his face was gray and his expression was bitter.
"Detective Mary is right, that carpet is indeed the carpet in His Majesty the King's bedroom, and the blood stains on the carpet are indeed Chief Barry's..."
With that said, he looked up at the people in front of him and laughed.
"Yes, I am the murderer of Chief Bali. When I was delivering meals to His Majesty the King this morning, I saw Chief Bali speaking rudely to His Majesty the King again. I was so angry that I took advantage of him not to spare His Majesty the King. The dagger in the desk killed him.
I was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I threw his body out of the window, then cleaned up the blood stains in the room, and hid the blood-stained carpet in a small cart and quietly transported it out.
This is how the whole thing happened... I thought I could hide it, but I didn't expect to be discovered by Detective Mary, haha..."
After hearing his words, Preben's face immediately darkened.
And Heningu, who was sitting silently on the bed, also opened his eyes at this time. He looked at Ou Lei standing beside the bed, with a hint of surprise in his cloudy eyes.
Mary also looked at him, shook her head slightly, and sighed.
"Ole, you are lying."
"W-what?" Ou Lei was stunned when he heard Mary's words.
"You are not the murderer of Chief Barry at all."
Mary's tone became much calmer, and she gently exposed the flaws in Ole's words just now.
"You said you killed Chief Barley while serving breakfast, but the fact is that based on the condition of Chief Barley's body, he had been killed as early as midnight last night. You were not able to kill him this morning at all. possible."
"This, that..." Mary's words completely exceeded Ou Lei's expectations, and his face showed extreme panic again.
Different from the previous panic, this time he seemed to be really panicked.
"I, I think I may have remembered it wrong, but actually I..."
"Okay, you don't need to lie anymore. Chief Barry was not killed by anyone, he committed suicide."
