"Damn it, that guy Eijiro Tone, what on earth is he thinking?"
That night, former British Navy Lieutenant Commander Clyde, who had already changed into his nightgown, was walking back and forth in his room, looking restless.
"Kitagami Kazuhiko...Why was this person called here? We were..."
"Dong dong."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?!" Clyde suddenly stopped, raised his head and shouted.
"Mr. Clyde, it's us." Outside the door, Mary replied: "We want to ask you something about Mr. Yang. Is it convenient for you now?"
"Huh, it's you, those two stupid detectives during the day..."
With a cold snort, Clyde stepped forward and opened the door, although he sounded unhappy.
"If you have anything to ask, please do it as soon as possible, and when you have finished asking, go back as soon as possible."
The two walked in. Out of professional habit, Shirakawa Qing instinctively scanned Clyde's room.
Different from Kevin's room just now, Clyde's room seemed much simpler. Apart from the original decoration in the room, there was only the large suitcase placed in the corner.
On the round table in the middle of the room was a bottle of red wine that had been opened, and next to it was a half-filled tall red wine glass.
There were no marks on the rim of the wine glass, indicating that the glass of red wine had not been touched.
"Excuse me, what is your relationship with Mr. Yang?" Sitting on the sofa, Mary looked at Clyde and asked.
"Yang and I have been friends for more than ten years." Without any hesitation, Clyde replied: "Although I say so, we haven't seen each other very much in recent years. I didn't expect that he would actually meet him this time. He was killed..."
"How many years ago did you meet?" Mary continued to ask.
"Fifteen years ago, when we were in Singapore..." Clyde replied casually.
【Singapore? Fifteen years ago? 】
Mary frowned slightly. According to the information she and Shirakawa Kiyo had received before, it seemed that Eijiro Tone also received an inheritance fifteen years ago and then moved to the UK from Singapore, right?
According to this speculation, the last inheritance heir, Kitakami Kazuhiko, must have appeared in Singapore fifteen years ago, right?
Are these three inheritance heirs designated by Eijiro Tone all somehow related to the inheritance fifteen years ago?
"Mr. Clyde, I heard that you served in the Royal Navy?" Mary asked again.
"Humph, you're really quick to inquire!"
With a cold snort, Clyde nodded and replied: "Yes, I used to be a major in the Royal Navy, but I retired ten years ago..."
At this point, Clyde's expression suddenly changed. He subconsciously clenched his hands and smashed the armrest of the sofa hard.
"Damn it! I shouldn't have come to this island! If it weren't for Eijiro Tone, I would still be living my leisurely retirement life in London! Damn it! Who is he..."
Suddenly, Clyde's words stopped abruptly. He seemed to realize that there were other people in the room. He looked up at Mary and Bai Heqing who were looking at him curiously, and waved impatiently:
"Okay! That's enough! Get out now! I want to rest! Get out!"
In this way, Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary, who retained the bottom line of respecting their elders, were pushed out of the room extremely roughly by Clyde.
After slamming the door shut, Clyde shouted to the two of them through the door:
"If you want to continue the investigation, go and investigate Kitakami Kazuhiko! Let me tell you, he must be the murderer of Yang!"
"What did he say?" Bai Heqing turned to look at Mary.
"He is really an old man with a changeable personality..." Mary sighed helplessly and explained the conversation just now to him.
"..."
"It seems that Yang Douxin's death has greatly stimulated him." The two turned around and walked in the corridor, and Bai Heqing said.
"No, that may not be the right thing to say..." After hesitating, Bai Heqing continued: "It should be said that the appearance of Kitakami Kazuhiko on this island and the fact that Yang Douxin was poisoned greatly stimulated him. .”
"Clyde has some special hostility towards Kitakami Kazuhiko." Mary nodded in agreement.
"You suspect it has something to do with the process in which Eijiro Tone obtained the inheritance from Singapore fifteen years ago?" Shirakawa Kiyoshi looked at her.
"Well, it's possible."
"It doesn't matter, then let's go look for it..."
Halfway through his words, Bai Heqing suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner of the corridor behind him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Mary also looked back and asked doubtfully.
"I feel like someone is following us..." Bai Heqing replied, still staring at the corner of the corridor.
When Mary heard this, without hesitation, she took out the small pistol she had always kept in her pocket, pulled the bolt, lowered her steps, and walked over quietly.
Standing on this side of the corner, Mary took a deep breath, held the gun in both hands, and then quickly stepped forward and aimed sideways at the other side of the corner.
"Detective M-Mary?!"
"Butler Kurahashi?"
Almost at the same time, the old butler Motoaki Kurahashi walked out from the corner carrying a plate with a red wine bottle. If Mary hadn't reacted quickly, the two of them would have collided.
"Detective Mary, what are you..." Quickly holding the plate in his hand, Kurahashi Motoaki looked at Mary and the pistol in her hand with some horror.
"Butler Kurahashi, where are you going?" Mary put the pistol back with a calm expression, looked at him and asked.
"Oh, several other guests in the hotel wanted to drink red wine in the evening, so I went to the warehouse to get some and sent it to them..."
"That's it..."
Nodding, Mary glanced at the empty corridor behind Akira Kurahashi, with a kind smile on her face.
"Then I won't disturb you... By the way, next we want to ask Mr. Kitakami Kazuhiko some questions. Do you know where his room is?"
"Mr. Kazuhiko? His room is over there in front..."
"I get it, thank."
"You're welcome, I hope I can help."
In this way, after Kurahashi Motoaki left, Mary turned and walked towards Shirakawa Kiyo who had been standing behind.
"Did you see any strange people?" Bai Heqing asked.
"I think he's the one with the biggest problem," Mary replied.
Out of intuition, she felt something strange about Kurahashi Motoaki's sudden appearance, but unfortunately, she didn't see anyone else behind him just now.
Bai Heqing just nodded slightly when he heard the words.
"It's okay, just be careful from now on."
"I know."
The two turned around and continued walking towards Kitakami Kazuhiko's room. After a brief thought, Shirakawa Qing suddenly asked:
"Mary, can you cook?"
"Yes, why do you ask this suddenly?" Mary looked at him doubtfully.
"I'm going to ask you to help in the kitchen in the next few days. You have to participate in everything from picking up ingredients from the warehouse to cooking in the kitchen.
Just in case, I will only eat your food before I leave this island. "
I only eat what you cook.
I only eat your food...
I only eat the food you cook~
Mary's brain suddenly felt dizzy, and Bai Heqing's voice kept echoing in her mind.
"I, I understand, Bai He, please stop talking..."
"Huh? What? What's wrong?"
