"Almost."

As soon as he walked out of the manor, his confidant was hard to find, so he said calmly: "Our eldest lady already knows the truth of this case!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed suddenly.

Marshall: "!! ”

Annie: "!! ”

Hua Qiong: "??? ”

However, thanks to Hua Qiong's quick reaction, her consternation only showed a moment, and when Marshall and Anne looked at her in surprise, she had already made a gesture of covering her mouth and chuckling, not only covering her stunned expression, but even showing a confident appearance.

"Really, Miss Watson!?"

“... Of course it's true. ”

"How is that possible!"

The first sentence is Anne's excited inquiry, and the latter sentence is the emotion of Sheriff Marshall.

I'm a good one.

Is this a detective from a big city?

It's too efficient!

Speaking from his heart, Marshall, as a sheriff, initially had the evil idea of whether to drag back a little bit in the investigation for the sake of his own face, but before he could put this evil idea into practice, the aristocratic detective from New York announced that he had solved the case?

However, after the excitement, Marshall showed hesitation again: "Who is the murderer.... Wait, you don't want to say that the murderer is Mr. Monning, do you? ”

"It must be right, right!"

“.......”

Bearing the expectant or suspicious gaze of Marshall and Anne, Hua Qiong grinned, but saw that behind the two of them, the confidant was holding up his index finger and constantly making a zipper movement on the side of his mouth, so he changed the conversation: "You don't need to know this for the time being." ”

"What!?"

“.... I just know the truth. Hua Qiong's mind turned quickly, and she immediately came up with a reason: "But there is no evidence that can make him subdue." ”

"So ....."

Hua Qiong saw that the confidant behind the two was difficult to find, and compared the movements of a thumbs up.

"Huh?"

Anne and Marshall curiously turned their heads along Hua Qiong's gaze, only to see their confidant with their hands folded in front of them and smiling.

(This is so fast..... Did I just see an afterimage? ）

Hua Qiong's smile remained unchanged on the surface, but she muttered a little on the inside. And just as Marshall and Anne turned around again, they saw that their confidants were hard to find and nodded in Anne's direction.

Hua Qiong understood it at the moment.

“.... Miss Anne, could you please stay and talk to me again? ”

"Me?"

"Yes, I think the information I'm missing is on you."

"No problem!"

finally saw that the murderer of her boyfriend was brought to justice, and Anne immediately nodded excitedly, expressing her willingness to cooperate with all her might.

Almost at the same time,

The long-awaited confidante finally stood up, first patted Marshall's shoulder, and then spread his hands: "Sheriff Marshall." ”

"Huh?"

"Could you please stay out of the way?"

“........”

Come on! I'm the sheriff! Shouldn't I know the details of solving the case!? Even if you are a detective, the police should be around when you question witnesses, right?

Marshall had the heart to make a soul accusation and question.

But considering that these two people in front of him are from very big backgrounds, not only from New York in the lighthouse country, but also the eldest lady of a noble family, in case he offends them.....

.... Mother-in-law.

That's too much of a career.

Endure!

"I see."

Marshall tugged at the corners of his mouth very reluctantly, and then pulled away from the three with difficulty, and just retreated until he was a hundred meters away and his confidant was hard to find before he nodded.

"Well done!"

Seeing this, Anne said viciously: "This lackey of capitalism! I only know how to touch Moning's stinky feet, and I will definitely not vote for him in the next election of the sheriff in the town! ”

"Hahaha...."

Hua Qiong laughed awkwardly, then glanced at the confidant beside her, who was hard to find, and gave her a reassuring look, and then said: "Miss Annie, in fact, the question that our eldest lady wants to ask is very simple, may I ask what your boyfriend James does?" ”

"Huh?"

Anne was stunned, she thought she was asking about the details of the crime, but she didn't expect to ask her boyfriend?

After a brief pause, Anne showed a bit of sadness and whispered, "Jaime was actually a worker under Mourning, just like me. ”

"That's why I know him."

"I see."

The confidant's eyes showed a little understanding, and he continued: "I roughly guess, Jaime should often go to other places with Moning to do business, right?" ”

"How do you know?"

Anne was stunned when she heard this: "Indeed, Jaime's previous job was to help that guy Mourning load and unload goods, and often went to the next town with him..."

"And he's richer than you think, right?"

“..... Yes. ”

Anne nodded, she seemed to sense something was wrong: "Miss Butler, what do you mean?" Jaime is richer than the average worker, but he earns it bit by bit, and the reason I'm with him is not his money. ”

"I understand, I understand."

The confidant smiled and waved his hand: "By the way, does Jaime know how to use a gun?" He must be very accurate in marksmanship. ”

"Of course."

Anne nodded naturally when she said this: "Not only him, but I also know how to shoot, I have a shotgun at home, in fact, I am ready, if Marshall's lackey is still unwilling to arrest Morin, I will take the gun and find an opportunity to do it myself....."

"Well, let's not talk about that, let's talk about Jaime's marksmanship first."

“.... Oh, yes, Jaime is much better marksman than I am, but that's normal, after all, he used to go on business with Mourning. ”

"Why do you need good marksmanship in business?"

"Because of the horse thief."

Anne said as a matter of course: "I want to know that caravans are the easiest to target, if you want to do business in peace, how can you do it without a guy in your hand?" ”

"That's right."

The smile on her confidant's face widened, and then she glanced at Anne from beginning to end, and finally rested on her right ring finger:

"Miss Anne, did James give you this ring?"

"Huh? Ah yes. ”

Anne opened her right hand and proudly showed the gold ring on her ring finger to Hua Qiong and her confidant: "This is a token of promise that James gave me, made of pure gold, and Jaime said that he almost spent all his savings in order to get such a ring." ”

"Hohoo...."

"Oh...."

Confidants are hard to find and Hua Qiong, the corners of one mouth twitched, and the corners of one eye curled.

Immediately afterwards, the confidant was hard to find and subconsciously stroked the long hair in his ear, but Hua Qiong suddenly felt a little itchy in her throat, so she reached out to cover her mouth and coughed lightly.

【Teleport】

【Enhanced Regeneration】

The two rings on their fingers immediately caught Anne's eyes.

“.........”

Anne blinked in confusion, her eyes lingering several times between her confidant and Hua Qiong, and her mind quickly flashed back to the little stories of love and hatred between the noble butler and the noble lady that she had seen in some small texts when she was a child..... Xuan even showed a look of understanding.

"Rest assured! Miss Watson, Miss Housekeeper. ”

"As long as it's true love."

"No problem!"

Confidants are hard to find: "??? ”

Hua Qiong: "??? ”
