Chapter 31: The Battle of the Tearing Ratio
Liu Xiaofei looked at the suspects in front of him.
He suddenly spoke: "Okay, since Dr. Frankenstein and Countess Elena have alibi, then please tell a few people who left the hall just now and have the time to commit the crime to tell us what they did when they left the hall just now." β
Aunt Oprah said, "That fat detective made me feel sick to my stomach. I went to the bathroom and vomited twice, washed my hands and went straight back to the hall. β
Zhao Fatzi said angrily with a pipe in his mouth: "Rub! I said Auntie, don't take you so hurtful! What's wrong with fat? The fat man didn't eat your rice, as for making you nauseous and want to vomit when you see it? Damn, you're over seventy years old, and the Count won't support you. You've always dreamed of the Earl burping and catching a cold, so that he can share his inheritance and retire, right? β
Oprah exclaimed, "I'm looking forward to my nephew's death? There are so many people here who are looking forward to my nephew's death more than I do! Erin, your bills for luxury goods are stacked as thick as a book, right? And Badman, I heard you owe hundreds of thousands of pounds in gambling debts outside? Oh, my nephew is dead, and you two will be able to get half of his property! β
Li Qian whispered to Hu Dazhuang: "Look, the tearing war has begun." β
Badman glared at Oprah: "Grandmother, please take responsibility for what you said!" I'm out there in a gambling debt. Gambling is such a thing, there has always been a win and a loss. Maybe tomorrow I'll be lucky enough to win back all the things I lost before? I wouldn't have murdered my own father-in-law at all! β
Erin helped: "That's right! I think you are the murderer, aunt and grandmother! My father said that you didn't like him since you were a child. Of course, he doesn't like you either. But you are over 70 years old, you have never married, you have no children and no daughters, in order to provide for your old age, you took the risk to kill my father, and it is entirely possible to divide a small part of his property. β
Coach Mourinho nodded: "Kill people for the sake of inheritance?" I was only a friend of the Earl, not a relative of his, and legally I could not get a share of his Β£sterling inheritance. That excludes me, right? The murderer should be one of Oprah, Badman, and Irene! β
Badman said to Mourinho: "Coach Mourinho, you are not necessarily innocent! You've just been in the study, haven't you? β
The butler John suddenly said an important situation: "Just now I passed by the study when I went up to the wine room on the second floor to get red wine for Mr. Plyushkin, and I heard Coach Mourinho and the Count arguing in the study! β
Zhao Fatzi took a puff of his pipe: "Oh, passion kills? It is also possible to kill the killer on the spur of the moment. β
Liu Xiaofei said: "Coach Mourinho, explain, what were you arguing with the Count just now?" β
Mourinho sighed: "Well, I'll tell you what you were arguing with the Count just now!" Earl... Simply a villain! He asked me to instruct my players to release water in the FA Cup, and he was able to make a big fortune in the London game! β
Mr. Wang was a little surprised: "At the end of the nineteenth century, Britain also had a black whistle for match-fixing? β
Zhao Fatzi laughed: "I don't understand, Mr. Wang." If you want to talk about match-fixing black whistles, Europe is the ancestor of match-fixing black whistles. What fake A and fake B league in our country are compared to them, they are simply grandchildren! β
Mourinho continued: "The Earls are Newton Hill's biggest patron. In fact, sponsoring the team is fake, controlling the team to play match-fixing and making money in the gambling game is real. I've always believed that football is sacred... But he insulted this sacred sport. But despite the conflict between the two of us, I won't kill him. I am a man of high character! Definitely will not be a murderer. β
Zhao Fatzi laughed: "I said Coach Mourinho, are you a three-year-old child?" He said that he was like a lotus flower that came out of the mud and was not stained. I'm afraid the Earl's sponsorship of your Newton Hill team is not a day or two, right? He instructed to play match-fixing more than one game or two, right? You haven't paid for match-fixing in the past? β
Mourinho was momentarily speechless. It took a long time before he replied: "That's right, in some non-important games in the past, I asked my players to give the opponent water and money. But this time is different. This time it's the FA Cup! Winning the FA Cup is every English football coach's dream! Newton Hill made it to the fourth round for the first time this year, and I will never give up on that dream! That's why I had a big fight with the Earl just now. But I'm still the same sentence, I didn't kill anyone! If you want to talk about the motive for the killing, heh, I would like to reveal to the detectives that the motive for the murder here is the biggest one is Mr. Plyuskin! β
The eyes of the crowd shifted to Plyushkin.
Mourinho continued: "Once the Count drank too much and told me that his business partner, Mr. Plyuskin, was trying to embezzle his share of the business. β
Plyushkin looked flustered and said: "Hmph, Mourinho, you are right about one thing. The Count is a villain! In fact, it wasn't me who wanted to embezzle the whole business, but him! He's bribed one of the Chancellor's subordinates, and he's concocting all sorts of charges to get me to jail, and... He'll be able to take over the whole business! β
Miss Sansi'er finally spoke: "Mr. Plyushkin, are you insulting the count's personality?" β
Plyushkin said angrily: "Personality? Is a professional lover who sells his body for money also worthy of talking about personality? Sansi'er, haven't you been using some trick to blackmail the Count into divorcing Yelena? Hello to the throne as a countess? As for what the handle? Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, it was one of the Earl's men who bribed the Chancellor of the Exchequer to frame me, right? β
Liu Xiaofei made a pause gesture: "I said everyone, can your tearing war stop for a while." β
Liu Xiaofei turned his head and glanced at the earl's "corpse", and then Liu Xiaofei carefully checked the window again. The windows are indeed locked.
Teacher Wang said, "The Earl died in the secret room. There were only two keys, one in the Count's trouser pocket. One in the hands of his wife Elena. Yelena hadn't left the hall just now. The door was locked again. I saw that this kind of lock can only be locked with a key. So the question is, how did the murderer lock the door to the study after killing the Count? β
Zhao Fatzi said: "It is possible that someone else made a mold and copied a key. β
John the butler said, "Fat detective, I need to warn you. The plot says that there are two keys, which are two keys. There is absolutely no third key! β
Liu Xiaofei muttered to himself: "Doesn't there exist a third key?" β
He walked to the door. Suddenly, he noticed that there was a small gap between the door and the door frame, 60 centimeters from the ground!
Liu Xiaofei pointed to the gap in Zhao Fatzi.
Zhao Fatzi understood, took out the key from the earl's trouser pocket, walked to the gap and tried it, and then he said to Liu Xiaofei: "This gap can be stuffed with a key." Could it be that after the murderer killed someone, he took the key and locked the door, and then threw the key in... No, even if you put the key in, it will only fall to the ground. How did it end up in the Count's pocket? β
