Macdonald inquired for a long time, but couldn't decide on a target, so he couldn't help but think of Arthur.
At this time, Arthur and Jabi also returned to the manor. Seeing Macdonald helpless, they couldn't help but ask: "How is your inquiry going?"
"I just asked these people, but it seems that there is no murderer among them."
Arthur raised his eyebrows and looked at the seven people present, "Huh? Why is there one person missing?"
"The other one is Baron Locke's girlfriend. It is said that she went to see a play on Broadway today."
Arthur suddenly had a bad premonition and asked Baron Locke: "That girlfriend of yours, how old is she?"
Seeing Arthur seeming to be asking questions, Baron Locke felt very unhappy and said with some coldness and arrogance: "At 25 years old, does she still have any problems?"
At this time everyone looked at Arthur, and James Bond also walked over.
"Mr. Doyle, did you find anything?"
Arthur rubbed his brows and ignored Baron Locke's attitude. Instead, he said to James Bond and Macdonald: "If my guess is correct, Baron Locke's girlfriend should be the murderer of last night's case."
"What? You mean a woman who killed two strong men last night?"
Arthur's guess made Macdonald feel unbelievable.
Baron Locke also jumped up, "You are talking nonsense, you actually doubt a weak woman like Edoma."
Seeing that the two of them didn't believe his friend, Jabi stood up angrily and said, "Arthur's speculations are never wrong. I advise you to listen to him."
Although the two did not refute Jabi, their faces showed distrust.
Arthur took out his new pipe, slowly put in the tobacco, lit the fire, and after taking a strong puff, he asked Baron Locke: "Excuse me, Baron, when did you meet Where’s your girlfriend’s?”
"Two months ago."
Looking at the exquisite pipe in Arthur's hand, Baron Locke was actually fascinated.
"This pipe of yours is truly a rare masterpiece."
"This is a gift from a friend."
After answering Baron Locke, Arthur said to Macdonald: "According to my previous speculation, the murderer heard the conversation between Director Michel and me last night and immediately carried out the murder. He always carries his chemical substance with him, and at the same time he can kill people cleanly, so this is the person.”
Before Arthur could finish speaking, James Bond shouted in unison: "She's a spy!"
It's simple. As an agent, he always keeps cyanide on hand.
Arthur gave James a thumbs up appreciatively.
Leonard, who had been watching the show just now, suddenly called to his subordinates, "Follow me quickly and go to the Broadway Theater immediately."
Leonard's secret police qualities were immediately reflected at this moment.
Macdonald still doesn't understand this series of drastic changes. The truth is probably what Arthur said.
Seeing him still smoking his pipe leisurely, he couldn't help complaining: "Since you know the murderer, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Arthur waved his hand and sighed: "It's useless to go now, because if my guess is right, she would have escaped long ago. If not, she would have come back on her own."
But now Baron Locke is still in a state of confusion, and he keeps saying: "No, Edoma can't be a spy."
Baron Locke was a member of the House of Lords, but Arthur did not know his specific position.
He couldn't help but ask: "Are you responsible for a very confidential task recently?"
After Arthur reminded him, Baron Locke's face immediately turned ugly, and then he rushed back to his office.
After a while, he was seen returning to the hall in despair. It seemed that Arthur had hit the mark again this time.
Arthur did not ask him why he was so rude, but Baron Locke took the initiative to grab his hand and begged: "Mr. Doyle, you have to help me catch Edoma because she stole it from me." Let’s go, the manufacturing blueprints for the latest artillery.”
Arthur smiled bitterly and blew out a smoke ring, "I haven't even seen her face, so how can I know where she escaped to?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but point to James Bond, "Maybe you should ask our Mr. Agent first."
In fact, James Bond has been thinking about it, but there are too many ways to escape, so he can only suggest: "The most important thing now is that she cannot take the drawings out of London. More patrols should be sent to the station The police took her portrait and kept watch. But whether they can succeed or not depends on luck."
At the end, James Bond sighed helplessly.
Baron Locke slumped in his chair sadly, and Leonard returned empty-handed not long after.
Angry, he asked Baron Locke again, because this matter was probably related to the kidnapping case 12 years ago, so Arthur also listened to this inquiry.
Fortunately, Leonard didn't drive them away like last time.
During the inquiry, Locke told Edoma that she was the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman. She met him when she wandered to London. No need to ask, these must be lies.
Throughout the whole process, Arthur was still smoking his pipe slowly. Leonard, who was doing things vigorously and resolutely, finally couldn't help but scolded with a somewhat resentful tone after Baron Locke walked out of the room: "Since you know she is a spy, Why didn’t you tell me last night?”
Before Arthur could answer, Jabi jumped out, "Isn't it your duty to find the murderer? You still blame others when you don't have the ability. If it weren't for Arthur's speculation, I'm afraid you don't know who it is now. Where’s the murderer!”
Jabi spoke righteously, and Arthur also ignored Leonard's accusation. Seeing that there was no outsider in the room at this moment, he suddenly whispered to everyone: "It is very possible that there are companions of the murderer in the manor."
McDonald's eyes lit up, "Who is that person?"
Arthur touched his chin, but shook his head.
"That's going to be difficult. There were more than 60 people here last night. I'm afraid she might have escaped again before we finished questioning her."
Leonard looked at Macdonald as if he were an idiot. James Bond couldn't help but say at this moment: "Since Mr. Doyle told us in private, it was just to avoid alerting the enemy."
MacDonald's IQ was obviously not on the same level as the three of them. Arthur pondered for a long time before saying: "There are two types of people who are most likely. One is the people in the entertainment room last night, and the other is the servants."
James Bond and Leonard immediately understood, because last night's case was obviously too difficult for one person to complete.
James Bond also touched his chin at this moment and said in deep thought: "It would be okay if it was a servant, but it would be terrible if it were the remaining seven."
Because if they are servants, it means that the penetration of the spies is not deep enough, but the remaining seven are all very influential people in society.
