Murray frowned, the corners of his mouth twitching.

It was the first time he had been counted like this, and it was mapped to all "men".

What a dire situation!

"May I ask this young lady," Murray turned to stare at the iceberg beauty who had been snubbing him all along, "what do you think?"

"Ah, I can't talk about it." Elena closed her eyes, turned her face away, and said rather disdainfully, "I just think that someone is too stupid to see such an obvious trick."

"Please give me advice."

"Oh? Does that agree with me?" Elena sneered, "Well, you go find the key to this box."

So, Murray and Jefferson carefully examined Mr. Copol's body, and then rummaged through the entire box, but could not find the key to the door.

"Look," said Elena, "just lock the door beforehand and throw the key away. What a simple trick."

"Well, I'll learn that you're right." "But how did the prisoner hide the money bag under the deceased's body in such a short period of time, lock the door, and then disappear?"

"Uh......" Elena hadn't thought of it yet.

"Who said a prisoner had to do that much in a short period of time?" Bella spoke.

"Oh?" Murray was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's easy." Bella said, walking up to Mr. Arnold next to her, "May I ask this gentleman, how did you find out that your money bag was missing?"

"I ......," Mr. Arnold thought about for a moment, "and a masked man hit me and knocked my bag off the floor. Because there was money in the bag, I opened it and looked at it just in case, only to find that the money bag was gone."

"Okay." "As you know, the distance between the seats on either side of that carriage is about the same distance as the box here. In other words, the middle aisles are relatively spacious. So why did the other party bump into Mr. Arnold? Naturally, it makes people think that it must be to steal the money bag in the bag, right? But that's just speculation, have any of you seen it with your own eyes?"

"Possibly...... It's because the other party is moving too fast, and we don't even pay attention."

"That being said, in reality, you only saw the result of the money bag being stolen and guessed that the person who just hit you was a thief, right?"

This is influenced by preconceived notions.

「……」

"All in all, there is not enough evidence." Bella continued, "However, it is true that Mr. Arnold's purse was lost, but it is not known when it happened. It is understandable, then, that the prisoner had already stolen Mr. Arnold's purse, killed Mr. Corpor and put the body in the box with the purse, locked the door and threw away the key, thus completing the scene. Later, he rammed Mr. Arnold in full view of everyone, causing him to discover that his money bag was missing, which in turn attracted the attention of Mr. Nick, the passenger in the carriage, and chased him to the scene that had been set up long ago. Then he turned around and shot Officer Nick. At that time, Officer Nick will definitely subconsciously dodge and return fire. They seized the opportunity to go into hiding, waiting for Officer Nick to come and find Mr. Copper's body and Mr. Arnold's purse."

"So, it's true that Nick insists that he didn't shoot?" Sheriff Jefferson said.

"That's right." Bella replied.

"But how did the prisoner disappear?" Jefferson asked.

"It's simple." Lieutenant Murray spoke, "Just hide in the box on the left."

"The box on the left?" Nick was surprised, "But, as I looked, the box was empty."

"Yes. You said you saw it, but what did you think?"

"Forehead ......"

"You must have just taken a quick glance, right?" Murray said, pushing the door of the box inside, "The door here is designed to open and close in both directions, in other words, just push the door open and hide behind the door. Officer Nick was in such a hurry that it was certainly impossible to check closely. Because the locked room next door is too conspicuous, it naturally attracts attention."

"I see!" Nick suddenly realized, "I really didn't expect the prisoner to hide behind the door!"

"So, who is the prisoner?" Sheriff Jefferson asked.

"Well, I think, the most likely one," Murray said, turning to Mr. Copper's secretary, "You're you, Mr. Hazlit."

"......," Hazlitt was silent.

"I'm just skeptical, though, and you can deny it. But I think the evidence should be found." Murray continued, "It's not the peak season, but there are still a lot of passengers. When I booked my tickets, I found that all the boxes were gone. So I had to buy a standing ticket and look around for a suitable vacancy. That's when I met the three young ladies. And there is no one in this carriage, I guess, it should have been booked by you, right? Just ask the conductor to check it......

"No need to look it up." Hazlitt sighed, "I did it. The situation is similar to what a few people have inferred."

Sheriff Jefferson waved his hand, and Officer Nick stepped forward to buckle him up.

Hazlitt didn't want to resist.

Then, the other passengers dispersed. Jefferson and Nick escorted Hazlitt away.

Bella and Elena return to the carriage, where Anna is munching on fruit candy.

Mr. Murray walked in.

"I haven't introduced myself yet," Murray bowed politely, "My name is Murray, and I'm a lieutenant in Aragon."

Several ladies responded politely.

"It turned out to be the two great magic families in the north and south, and they really admired the name for a long time." Murray said, "Are the three of you going to Segovia's house?"

"Well," replied Bella, "because she was invited by Lady Isabel."

"Huh? That's a coincidence."

"Why, does Mr. Murray know Lady Isabel too?"

"Speaking of which, Lady Isabel is my aunt."

"Huh?" Elena was surprised, "Are you ......?"

"Terrence Sagovia's bastard." Murray said with a smile.

"Uh......" Elena frowned.

You don't need to emphasize the word "illegitimate child", do you?

"But then again." "Why didn't Mr. Murray ask about the motives of the prisoner?"

"Huh? Why do you ask?"

"You're not curious?"

"Not curious."

「……」

"Anyway, it's nothing more than murder for money, emotional impulsiveness, revenge and murder...... These are messy. Only when you can't solve the puzzle will you think of starting with motivation. Now that the case has been settled, all that remains is for the police and the judges. I'm not interested." Murray spread his hands, looking indifferent.
