The incident occurred in the middle of the night on July 29.

On the same day, Anne and her boyfriend Jaime went camping in the countryside together, and the two of them planned to come back soon, but what to say, that night was crisp and the scenery was pleasant, so Jaime was together, and Anne was half-pushed, and then the two were combined.

Decided to exchange feelings in the wild.

As a result of this exchange,

Something happened.

And just when the two exchanged feelings, sorted out their clothes, and then lay on the grass, looking at the bright moon overhead, counting the stars in the night sky, and playing romance, a mysterious person suddenly appeared, and then attacked Anne and Jaime, and finally brutally killed Jaime.

Anne herself was knocked unconscious.

When he woke up, he found Jaime's body in tatters at the bottom of a small cliff near the two of them, and his death was extremely miserable.

No fingerprints were found at the scene, and there were no witnesses, and the ability to collect evidence in this kind of town was also very insufficient, so there was no clue to the murderer at all, and this kind of murder was a bit beyond the scope of ability in Tam Town, a town with simple and peaceful people.

It would have been an unsolved case.

But.....

As one of the victims, Anne, after waking up in the town's hospital, provided the sheriffs with a groundbreaking clue.

She saw the prisoner's face.

She even knew the prisoner.

Through her description, Marshall, as a sheriff, immediately led the town police to lock on to the target, and this person was one of the few successful people in the town, who had a horse farm in the suburbs, and Anne used to be his maid, but later resigned after getting along with Jaime.

Originally, there was the victim's eyewitness testimony, and the case could have been closed directly, but when the magistrates found the owner of the manor, the other party questioned it and gave very clear evidence, saying that he had no time to commit the crime at the time of the crime.

And the lord of the manor is himself one of the financiers of the sheriff of Taim.

Arrest each other without evidence,

Apparently not.

So the whole case immediately fell into a stalemate, Anne's boyfriend died, naturally refused to give up, and Mr. Mourning's side had sufficient evidence, the alibi proved perfect, and the two sides insisted on their own opinions, and the result was that Marshall, the sheriff standing in the middle, did not please both ends.

"That's about what it looks like."

"Uh-huh....."

After reading the details of the case submitted by Marshall, confidant Harder and Hua Qiong each glanced at each other, and then quickly came to a conclusion:

"The murderer must be this manor lord Mo Ning, that's right."

"It's an old-fashioned unfolding."

"Alibi or something is outdated."

"That's it."

The conversation between confidants and Hua Qiong naturally fell into the ears of Marshall and Anne, and the expressions of the two showed typical polarization.

"Really! You've found the proof!? ”

“..... Are you sure? ”

Anne, who was the first to speak, looked excited, looking at Hua Qiong's eyes full of anticipation, but compared to her, Sheriff Marshall had a heavy expression.

"I need to emphasize that even if we don't consider the conflict of time and alibi, just from the relationship between Mr. Mourning himself and the victim James, in fact, he has no reason to murder James, that is, there is no motive to kill, even if it is Miss Anne..."

Speaking of this, Marshall couldn't help but glance at Anne beside him: ".... Even Miss Anne did not have any contact with Mr. Mourning when she worked in Mr. Mourning's estate, but rather Mr. Mourning, who was away all the year round for business, rarely came back at all. ”

Marshall's implication is actually very simple: Anne, who used to work in Mourning's manor, has no contact with Mourning, who is the owner of the manor, and it is impossible for her to have a so-called relationship, in other words, the possibility of love giving birth to hatred and killing people because of love does not exist.

That's why.

"It's not advisable to casually wronged Mr. Mourning, although both of them are big names from New York, please don't jump to conclusions...."

"Enough!"

Before Marshall could finish speaking, Anne slapped the table again excitedly and said, "I knew you were standing next to that old bastard, you lackey!" ”

"Miss Anne, please calm down, I'm just analyzing it from a purely rational point of view, and you're ..... suspicious compared to Mr. Mourning."

"You! Are you trying to say I killed Jaime!? ”

“........ That was not what I meant. ”

Not to mention Marshall's helpless face to deal with Anne, the confidant on the other side is difficult to find and Hua Qiong re-examines the case information in his hand.

This case is actually really simple.

Although it was late at night, Anne was so sure that she had seen the murderer's face, and given her relationship with the victim, there must have been credibility.

But it can't be trusted.

As Marshall said, it is not impossible for Anne to kill by mistake, after all, there are deep mountains and old forests, and there are no witnesses, so there is a lot of room for maneuver, but she did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire detectives to investigate this case, Hua Qiong is psychologically more inclined to believe in the other party.

And there is actually only one key to this:

"This alibi."

"It's kind of interesting."

"The time of the crime was around half past ten in the evening of July 29, the victim Jaime was suddenly attacked by the suspect, his girlfriend Anne was knocked unconscious, and before fainting, he saw the murderer's face, that is, the owner of the manor, Mourning, and after that, Jaime was found dead from a cliff."

"After the incident, the police began to investigate the owner of the manor, Mourning."

"But Mourning said that at the time of the incident, that is, at half past ten in the evening, he was in the town of Dasco, a two-hour drive from Tymetown, and discussed with his friends about a trip abroad next month, and it was impossible to rush back to Tyme and kill James."

"Mourning's friends and some of the merchants and residents of Dasco who saw him testify about this alibi, and he was in Dasco for almost the whole day on July 29, and even the sheriff of Dasco had an impression of him."

Mourning's alibi, as Marshall said, is very complete and without any flaws.

But alas,

"The more perfect something looks, the less credible it is! This alibi is too good and makes people feel suspicious. ”

Confidants are hard to find, and they swear to raise their own questions.

"I always feel that the boss has said something similar..."

Hua Qiong muttered while looking at the confidant beside her who was hard to find, only to see that the confidant was hard to find at this time, her eyes were shining, and she looked happy to see the hunt.

"Sister Shaohua has a clue?"

"Not at all."

"That's right."

Hua Qiong nodded, then looked at Marshall and Anne, who were still arguing, and while coughing, she also tapped the table with her fingers:

"Officer Marshall, Miss Annie."

"If you can,"

"May I meet that Mr. Mourning?"
