Chapter 231: Leeds' Manor (18)
"It's ...... Cream? ”
"That's right, it's cream." Chi Yu nodded and continued, "Mr. Thomas's dinner is still on the table, we can go and check his preferences." If my assumption is correct, his dinner meat should still be intact, and the pudding should be gone. ”
Someone soon corroborated Chi Yu's guess: "That's right, it's true." ”
"Mr. Thomas has a penchant for desserts and has no interest in meat, in fact, similar to Detective Will."
"Was he just going to the kitchen to steal the cream cake? A gentleman of good taste would not do such a thing, right? ”
"Of course, it's not just about stealing cakes." Chi Yu rolled his eyes weakly, "Even if you want to eat secretly, you should wait until the banquet is over and the guests disperse before stealing food, and it's not a pig ......."
"Mr. White, please don't make fun of the dead."
"OK, I apologize." Chi Yu put away his indecent tone and continued to explain, "The reason why Mr. Thomas had to leave the table after 30 minutes was because he had received an invitation from someone. This man was very important to him, or rather, what this man could offer, and Thomas went. However, when Thomas arrived at the kitchen, the man had not yet arrived, and the freshly baked cream cake had a deadly aroma, so he couldn't help but break a small piece while waiting, ready to sneak it into his mouth while there was no one around......"
If this was the end of the matter, Mr. Thomas would not have died, but unfortunately he was bumped into by the guy who was late. In a panic, Mr. Thomas tried to stuff the cream into his sleeve, but he accidentally fell to the ground, and the guy took the opportunity to humiliate Thomas. The old gentleman, who had always demanded himself seriously, could not stand this humiliation at all, so he rushed up and knocked the other man on the head with a crutch. ”
"Does that sound like Thomas is the stronger side?"
"How strong can such an old gentleman with a crutch be?" As he spoke, Chi Yu had already picked up Thomas's crutch from the ground and showed the tip of the crutch to everyone, "Even if his crutch is specially custom-made, even if he suddenly attacks with a violent outburst, then he is not an opponent of a strong young man." ”
The tip of the stick, which was originally clean and round, was exposed by Chi Yu's operation, revealing a small section of the blade stained with blood, which caused everyone to exclaim.
"The wounded murderer...... Uh, sorry, this kind of rhetoric seems a bit weird, please get used to it. The murderer subdued the weak old gentleman and blocked the old gentleman's mouth and nose with a piece of wet paper. The old gentleman struggled violently, and the murderer had no choice but to grab his hair and pull his head back with such an action...... It's like this. ”
Chi Yu said while using a certain onlooker Rapunzel to make a demonstration, the other party was completely stunned, and he didn't know that he was resisting, if the housekeeper hadn't stopped Chi Yu's movements in time, this girl was afraid that she would have left a serious psychological shadow.
"Thomas does have scraps of paper in his nose." Someone else testified to Chi Yu's statement.
"That'...... This can only be regarded as suffocation, not drowning, right? "Also, it's worth mentioning that your current rhetoric doesn't explain why Mr. Thomas's body is abnormal. ”
"Miss, I'm not done yet."
“…… You continue. ”
Chi Yu sighed deeply, thinking that this is the most difficult part of Lao Tzu, "This old guy was killed by Uncle Ben", he couldn't say it!
Even he himself couldn't explain why he, who was sitting here eating, was the murderer of Thomas!
On the prescription of the traveling doctor, such a sentence is clearly written: The last words that George Thomas said before his death were: Abominable and despicable White, even if you are a ghost, you will not be spared!
White......
I'm afraid that on the whole dining table, you can only find himself such a "White", right?
Chi Yu couldn't help but start thinking that the only prop on his body that might cause such an abnormal situation should be the pocket watch. If this old guy really killed him, then ...... I'm afraid it was my future self who killed Thomas.
It's strange, why did the future White kill Thomas?
Regardless of whether this matter really has anything to do with this pocket watch, just talking about the current situation is really a headache. Chi Yu really didn't know how to continue to explain for a while, he couldn't tell this group of NPCs about the pocket watch, right?
At this time, Will made a move: "Next, let me continue to explain." ”
"Drowning death is actually a kind of suffocation death, and there are many ways to cause drowning death, not necessarily drowning, and drowning death does not necessarily require the whole person to be thrown into the water. Of course, if you have to see the so-called evidence, then I can autopsy Thomas's body on the spot and let you see if there is water in his lungs......"
"No need, no need......"
"Forget about this kind of thing, right?"
"Mr. Will...... Vomit...... I'm sorry, but I can't take that kind of scene. ”
……
Most people said that they didn't need to do that, the dinner was not over yet, and after watching this bloody scene, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat the meal.
"Thomas's corpse is anomalous, and it can be achieved by certain means. Normally, the body hardens within 30 minutes to two hours after death, but it will be delayed if it is in soil or water, or in a cold and dry environment.
As for the temperature of the corpse, hehe...... Miss, with all due respect, you are so ignorant, the human body does stop producing heat after death, but the temperature of the corpse only drops by 1 degree per hour, which is only 40 minutes, and the temperature is still maintained so well, it is not very difficult to understand, right?
Since Thomas did not die in the bathroom, his body could have been removed and disposed of during this time...... Of course, this is not within my reach, and I am only responsible for making conclusions, not answers. ”
"The answer ......," the housekeeper frowned, obviously not very satisfied, "I don't think this answer is very reasonable. ”
The weather is cold now, 40 minutes have passed, how can the corpse still be so warm?
"So, ma'am, do you have any opinions?" Chi Yu smiled slightly and said, "If you have enough evidence to convince us all, you can come up with it." ”
