"By the way, there should be another servant in this house, right?" As Feng Bujue spoke, he was intently dripping oil into a bowl of sauce. Although his hands are busy cooking, his brain is completely non-stop, and dual-purpose is not a burden for Brother Jue at all, on the contrary...... It's a kind of release.
He had speculated that Lovecraft's family was more than just Oliver's maid, after all, there were so many rooms up and down the villa, as well as corridors, foyers, stairs, and so on...... Even if it's just a superficial cleaning job, one person has to do it for half a day. Not to mention that there are chores such as cooking and laundry to be done, and even if you count the things that Henderson and Barton can help with, the manpower is not enough.
"Yes, there is also a maid, Mrs. Martha, who has returned to her hometown for Thanksgiving this year, and will be back after the holidays." Mrs. Odetta replied.
"So you don't even have to help out in the kitchen, do you?" Feng Bujue smiled.
Odetta naturally heard his words, and she replied with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry...... I do...... Not very good at these. β
Feng Bujue only watched it for a minute, and knew that this lady's cooking level could only be used, presumably she rarely came to the kitchen to do things on weekdays.
"No, no...... You've done a great job, and I think Ms. Oliver is grateful to have you here. Feng Bujue said.
"No, Mr. Feng, Madame has really helped me a lot these days." Oliver also continued, "The two ladies in the past were too lazy to pour a glass of water themselves......"
"Oliver!" Odetta interrupted the aunt and winked at her and shook her head slightly. Obviously, she didn't want Oliver to continue. Presumably, this maid has a lot of complaints about the first two ladies of the master, and often sends sao, and these contents are not suitable for an outsider to hear.
Oliver was also very knowledgeable, and when she saw her lady speak, she quickly shut down and got busy with her work.
"Hmph......" Feng Bujue sneered, picked up the bowl in front of him, and opened the topic, "Look, carefully dripping oil in like this, and then stretching and stirring like a string, can avoid the separation of oil and water." He set the bowl aside, "In a moment, pour this sauce over the oysters, and the despicable spinach nai cheese baked oysters will be done." β
"You always surprise people, Mr. Feng." Odetta was also grateful that he didn't ask any further questions, and complimented him on the slope, "Who would have thought that a detective would have such a skill in cooking?" β
"Huh...... This dish is only moderately difficult. Brother Jue replied proudly, "At a similar difficulty, I am also going to make two dishes of chicken liver mousse and Sichuan-scald Japanese-style filet mignon." He pointed to a pile of vegetables in the corner, "Pick a few old potatoes out, and you can make a unique pomme_souffle by frying them twice, and the French stuff is still quite good......
"Oh! I said, Mr. Detective, how many dishes are you going to cook? And I haven't heard of a lot of the dishes you cook. Oliver said.
"Don't worry...... I can cook this little dish by myself. Feng Bujue's demeanor does seem very relaxed and casual, but his movements can be called fast, accurate, and ruthless, at least twice as fast as the actions in the cooking show on TV......
At this time, Brother Jue's thoughts are actually not complicated. He came to the kitchen for two main purposes: first, he wanted to use the time before dinner to question the last two suspects; Two, he just wants to have a good meal......
In this scenario, the player is required to consume food and water. If you want to eat the same, why not eat better......
Thriller Paradise is a game that simulates the taste of food very well, and players who have bought food props in the mall know that from potato chips to steak, from candy to lobster, the game can fully simulate the most realistic deliciousness.
Right now, you can use the resources in the script to enjoy a cheap meal in real life for free, and you can also show off your cooking skills. Such a good thing, Feng Bujue must not want to miss it.
"By the way, madam, there is a question, I don't think the Mark Jingguan should have asked you......" Feng Bujue suddenly asked without warning, "What do you think...... Who is most suspicious in this case? β
Odetta's hand trembled slightly, and she stared at Feng Bujue with wide apricot eyes, and the uneasiness that had been suppressed in her eyes was instantly revealed with surprise.
Oliver also looked over to this side, with a worried expression.
After an awkward silence, Mrs. Odetta seemed to have made up her mind, and her expression became firm: "It's me. β
Feng Bujue was still busy with the work at hand, and calmly responded: "The reason? β
"Because...... I didn't have a good relationship with Dennis. "Odetta's words coincide with what Barton said to SΓΉ Jue Ge, "When I married into the Lovecraft family seven years ago, Dennis was vehemently opposed, and although I tried to ease relations with him later, he was always cold to me, and you ......can see it in the foyer today."
"What I want to hear is ......," Feng Bujue interrupted, "...... I didn't see it. β
Odetta's heart jumped, and then, as if she understood something, she sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that nothing can be hidden from you......"
Feng Bujue was saying in his heart: I'm just bluffing...... You're really in trouble!
Odetta continued, "Okay...... I...... I went to look for Dennis before the body was found. Before the other party could answer, she immediately said, "But I swear!" I didn't kill Dennis! I didn't even go into that room at all! β
"Well, I trust you." Feng Bujue picked up a large handful of washed vegetables, spread them in front of him, cut them at high speed, and said while cutting, "In my opinion...... Here's the thing......
This afternoon, your husband and Dennis got into an argument for some reason, and they also fired. As the mistress of this home, it is human nature that you will worry about this.
At that time, you must have speculated in your heart that the reason for the quarrel between the two was because of you. So...... After a while, you go to Dennis's room and want to talk to him. His words were as rhythmic and fast as the sound of a knife cutting on a cutting board.
"As a result, you knocked on the door for a long time, and no one answered in the room, so you left. Unexpectedly, it was not long before ...... Dennis was found dead in his room.
Since Dennis has always been at odds with you, and you happened to be in front of this room at the time of the crime, your suspicion is undoubtedly huge. Fearing that you would be implicated, you put the matter under wraps. (To be continued)
