"Frankly speaking, I don't agree with what the butler said about his innocence. Since this copy lists him as one of the suspects, he must have a motive for the manor owner."
"Maybe it's the day-to-day care that makes him bored; or maybe it's the manor owner's young age that makes him want to overstep his authority and seize power that he shouldn't have."
"You don't have to rush to refute me. The more impossible something seems, the more likely it is. From a conventional perspective, you, who is least likely to be the murderer, are also the person with the greatest suspicion."
"Then there is no need for me to imprison you here. On the contrary, the sooner you leave, the better it will be for me." Li Zhi retorted.
"Really? Is this really the case?" Feng Cuo smiled: "If you choose to send us away as soon as possible, will Miss Meng give up?"
"She came here just to take away her share of the inheritance. Even if it was possible for her to take it all, she would not let it go."
"And if the owner of the manor dies at this time, the person who is more qualified to occupy these properties between you and her should be her, not you."
"So you can imprison everyone here, and then frame all suspicions on Miss Meng. In this way, other people who are qualified to inherit this manor will not come here in a short time, and you can Sell all your possessions as a butler, take the money and fly away."
"Are you framing the case to solve the case?" Li Zhi said angrily: "No matter how much you say, these are just your guesses. You have no definite evidence."
"That's right." Feng Cuo nodded: "But I just want to explain. The person least likely to be suspected is me."
"First of all, if I want to go out of the room I live in and go upstairs to the manor owner's room, I have to pass through at least two people's rooms. And with my current posture, you will accurately hear the sound of my cane. Thus locking I am the real murderer.”
He turned sideways to let go of the things behind him, and it was only then that Shuli noticed that there was a cane behind his chair.
After Feng Cuo finished speaking, he stood up and walked a few steps with his crutches. Everyone heard the clear sound of his crutches landing on the ground, as well as the sound of his one foot landing heavily, which indeed corroborated his words.
First of all, not to mention how troublesome it was for him to go upstairs, the sound alone would not make anyone aware of it.
Then the next player is the last player, Wen Zhefeng, whose space is not clear for the time being.
Simply looking at his performance, Shu Li was not sure whether he was the person she had met and made a grudge against.
The other party seemed to be completely unfamiliar with them and had no intention of communicating.
But that’s what makes it weird.
Being in the same dungeon, he didn't have any doubts about Li Zhi and himself? No need for any communication?
Under Shu Li's intense gaze, Wen Zhefeng seemed a little nervous.
"I, I am the chef who applied for the job not long ago. Because, because of my good cooking skills, I was promoted to chef a few days ago."
"You...are not suspicious, and I...I am even less likely." I don't know if it's because of his personality or because he was really nervous in this game. He stumbled when he spoke, but he seemed to be hiding it. What.
"I...I prepared the ingredients for this morning after dinner and left here and returned to the backyard, because I live there like other hired people. And at night the door of this building will Locked. So, I...I can't possibly break in in the middle of the night and...kill the owner of the manor."
Hearing this, Shu Li asked a question that he had wanted to ask since just now: "Is the only way to reach the master's bedroom is the stairs?"
Everyone present was not stupid. After hearing this sentence, they understood what she wanted to ask.
The person who answered her was Li Zhi, who was the housekeeper: "There are no protection measures outside the other windows, but the window outside the master bedroom of the manor and the nearby windows that can touch her room are covered with poisonous thorns. It is impossible for that kind of passage to happen." He entered the room outside the window and harmed her."
"Then she died of poisoning?" Shu Li blinked and asked a question that he wanted to ask from the beginning, but was constantly deflected.
Although Shuli understood that the reason why they did not tell the real cause of death at first was because they wanted to know whether there would be any information related to the cause of death in what others told them.
But now that everyone has roughly told their information, there is no need to continue hiding it.
"We did not conduct any search on the deceased." It was Li Zhi who spoke again: "After previous discussions, we determined that everyone entered this dungeon after the death of the deceased, so it was not me who found the deceased. I was present.”
"In the panel, the information on this point is also in a gray status to be explored."
"That means you haven't gone to see the scene yet?" Shu Li raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, because we think we need to talk about everyone's information before going to the scene. We also want to see the cause of death and who has a greater relationship with it."
"Can we go up now?" Shu Li looked at reporter Xiao, whose tone was still a bit unfriendly, and asked in a good voice.
The opponent's punch felt as if it had hit cotton. He turned his head angrily and ignored Shu Li.
It was Li Zhi who was the one to smooth things over: "Then let's all go up together first, and after seeing the crime scene together, we can then decide to divide into groups to check other people's rooms and access areas, and then we can start discussing who the murderer is. Everyone thinks it's okay. ?"
"Agree!" The first person to respond was Ms. Meng, who was particularly supportive. She really has a completely different personality from the one set in the script.
"I have no objection either." Feng Cuo stood aside, leaning on a crutch.
Although he really looked like he was voting in favor because he was too lazy to sit down and get up again, everyone was tacit and did not show this intention.
"Agreed." Shu Li smiled and had no objection.
Although the remaining two people did not speak, there was no hint of displeasure on their faces. Since the proposal is not rejected, it is agreed.
So Li Zhi took the lead, and Wen Zhefeng fell at the end.
The six people went up to the fifth floor together and entered the room of the manor owner, Xiao Rongge.
While going upstairs, Shu Li still didn't forget to look at the interior of the current manor.
The wooden floor underfoot, the surrounding wallpaper, the murals hanging around, and other small details were far more luxurious and noble than what Shuli saw when she first entered the dungeon.
This also shows that in such a long time, Rong Ge was not only killed in his room, but also trapped here forever, watching his home fail bit by bit.
Does she really still look that harmless?
Will she really be able to maintain her sanity and let him go after Shu Li finds the real murderer for her?
Shu Li thought calmly, and was already thinking about how to leave a backup plan in order to leave the manor smoothly and safely.
Even though she had a promise from Rong Ge, she was really unsure. (End of chapter)
