Chapter 241: Yodel's Trap
The trio arrived in the kitchen, and Caitlin immediately began a carpet search around the oven and the table where Niko was drying the cake.
It didn't take long for her to find clues.
"There was a string of water stains on the floor that hadn't dried yet, and it looked like footprints from the water tank to the table ......"
Caitlin paused for a moment and pointed to the water tank used to store the ingredients and live fish: "The murderer jumped out of the water tank, this footprint is webbed, obviously not left by a person, it is more likely that the thief is a seabird or something, such as a skua or something......"
Hearing the webbed footprints, Jeno immediately thought of who the thief was, and smiled meaningfully.
He didn't plan to expose the murderer now, it was to have some fun for Caitlin, she definitely hadn't investigated this kind of supernatural case, and by the way, she also let Niko learn the logical thinking of others, don't know to eat and sleep all day long, and sell cute when you wake up.
"It's not a seabird...... How can seabirds leave kelp after eating the cake? Jeno handed the cake bowl to Caitlyn and asked her to take a closer look.
"I just said that it was possible that the seabirds committed the crime, and I didn't finalize it. Judging from the pattern of footprints, there is only one prisoner, and it is impossible for a bird to eat so much cake, and it will not leave kelp to pay, let alone jump out of the water tank. ”
Only conclusions that stand up to scrutiny are conclusive, and Caitlin knows this.
She picked up the kelp and smelled it, it was fishy, the smell of the sea. Then focus on the cake crumbs on the inside of the basin.
"The crumbs are very flat, which means that the cake was eaten in one bite by someone upside down, rather than being dug up piece by piece."
"I can actually eat the cake in one bite, the murderer's mouth is not small." Jeno teased, not in a hurry at all.
Hearing that the murderer had eaten a pot of cake in one bite, Niko burst into tears on the spot, and a pair of big amber eyes couldn't stop shedding tears like diamonds.
"What can you eat in one bite? The fruits of Niko's labor have been ruined! ”
"I'm really curious about the cake made by Niko, why don't you make it again?" Jeno didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and began to fan the flames.
"Niko just ran out of sugar, and now she can't make cheesecake without sugar." She took out a jar of sugar and opened the lid to show Jeno the empty inside.
"Wait...... How much sugar do you use? ”
"Uncle Chef told Niko to use a spoonful, and Niko likes sweetness, so she added a little more and used a full spoonful!" With that, she picked up the large iron spoon used for stir-frying and demonstrated the steps of quickly stirring and whipping the cake.
"It's not just a little bit, it's completely lethal, and it's a shame that you didn't eat the cake you made......" Jeno felt his brain tremble as he imagined the murderer swallowing the cake in one bite and then being killed.
On the other hand, Caitlin fell into a cycle of self-denial, constantly overturning her own assertions and establishing new conclusions again.
"Big mouth, webbed feet, love sweets, what kind of sand sculpture animal is this?!"
"Why do you have to treat the murderer as an animal, can't it be a person?" Jeno nodded, which immediately elicited a fierce retort from Caitlyn.
"It's not like I didn't think about it, but how can anyone look like this, this set of footprints is too small, not much bigger than a baby."
"I said it was human, but I didn't say it had to be human."
Jeno shrugged, Caitlin had been in Leather City for a long time, her mind was as rigid as a machine, and many possibilities were subconsciously filtered through her mind.
"You say the murderer could be a Vastaya? Or yodelers?! Ay! How did I come up with that! Caitlin suddenly slapped her head, and felt that her IQ seemed to have dropped a lot without wearing a police uniform.
If these two races are present, it is very likely that they will grow organs that match the existing evidence, but the search needs to be narrowed down a bit.
After two Raisings by Jeno, she begins to match the evidence to the characteristics of the suspect, trying to find out the exact ethnicity of the killer who mutilated the cheesecake (polysaccharide, super doubled).
"The suspect is fine after eating so much sugar cake, so he must like to eat sweet ......"
Caitlyn glanced at Niko, who liked sweets, but it was clearly her personal preference.
So she checked with Jeno again, and Niko would never be able to eat perverted sweetness, which proved that the taste of the Vastaya people was not much different from that of ordinary people.
So, there is only one truth!
