Chapter 271: I miss it so much
Ji Ran didn't answer, but motioned to Mo Niannian to look at the floor in front of him.
By this time, Finney's body had been removed. But there is a slight difference in the traces, and when Finney died, the people around him saw it clearly, so naturally there was nothing to say.
It's just that after Ji Ran's reminder, Mo Niannian really found something wrong.
According to the descriptions of those around Finney, it is at least known that she is a person who thinks highly of herself and is defensive. If this kind of person finds someone approaching her, she will definitely subconsciously keep her distance. β
Ji Ran nodded and said.
"That's right, Finney was killed by a dagger, and there are very few signs of struggle before he died. Obviously, she didn't expect the other party to kill her. And judging from the distance, the other party is obviously someone who is very familiar with Finney. β
"Not only is it familiar, I'm afraid the relationship between the two is not bad."
After Mo Niannian finished speaking, he noticed a trace of red left on the corner of the table on the side. The mark seemed to have been formed by a strong force rubbing.
This is?
Mo Niannian poked his head out to look at the place, and he didn't see anything for a long time.
"What is this?"
Mo Niannian couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Ji Ran chuckled and said.
"It looks like a paint-like substance, and if I'm not mistaken, red nail polish. This kind of thing, generally speaking, women who love beauty will use it. Lucy is using this bright red nail polish today. β
Sensing the teasing in Ji Ran's tone, Mo Niannian secretly rolled his eyes. Who said that a woman who loves beauty must have this kind of nail polish? What's so good about this kind of thing, as if you don't use it, you're not a beautiful woman.
Mo Niannian snorted lightly and said.
"You're observant and listening. Who else has this red nail polish on their nails other than Lucy? β
Ji Ran shook his head and said.
"There are no such people among the current suspects. Don't forget, though, that Finney's hands are also red with nail polish. β
Mo Niannian nodded, annoyed that he hadn't been more careful. Otherwise, such a clue would not have been missed.
"You mean to say that this nail polish is Finney's and not the murderer's?"
"It's up to Finney's nails to see if there's any signs of nail polish peeling."
With the initial clues, Mo Niannian couldn't hold back the little excitement in his heart and directly found Jason and told him the clue.
Not to mention, with Mo Niannian's reminder, Jason's eyes lit up, and he felt more and more that the Chinese friend brought back by Miss Lucy was extraordinary.
Jason said hurriedly.
"Miss Mo, this is indeed an important clue. Finney is a woman who pays a lot of attention to her image, and she will never allow any imperfections in her image. Usually, not to mention anything else, even if the color of the nails is not evenly applied, it will be angry and depressed. In this case, it is quite possible that Miss Feeney has left us with some important clues. β
Without further ado, Mo Niannian hurriedly dragged Ji Ran and followed Jason to find Finney's body.
Finney's body was not placed in the castle at this time, but in a small cabin in the corner.
When Mo Niannian and the others arrived, there were already people inside.
Seeing the people in the cabin, Mo Niannian exclaimed in surprise.
"Jack?"
Although the man in front of him shaved off his beard, the whole person looked a lot younger, and he was more sunny, and even the clothes on his body were changed, but Mo Niannian still recognized the other party at the first time.
Who knew that Jack raised his eyebrows, looked at Mo Niannian and said strangely.
"Who are you?"
As one of today's protagonists, Jack naturally doesn't doubt that there will be people in it who don't know him. It's just that Mo Niannian's surprised tone made him a little unhappy. Shouldn't he be here?
Hearing this, Mo Niannian frowned.
"We've met before, don't you remember?"
Although she concealed the fact that Jack took her to that room before, Jack in front of her inevitably denied it too quickly, right? What is this man hiding?
But Jack in front of him sneered, looked at Mo Niannian with a smile and said.
"Women often say things like this to me, believe me, you are not the first and you will not be the last. But I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now! β
Jack said with a smile, with helplessness and doting on the little girl's coquettish tone in his tone.
Mo Niannian was suddenly angry, although Jack is indeed very handsome, but it doesn't mean that he can be narcissistic to this extent, right?
Even Ji Ran on the side couldn't help it. This guy is really a natural match with Lucy.
Ji Ran looked at Jack coldly and spoke.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Jack is going to be disappointed. Nian Nian is here to investigate the cause of Finney's death, and I don't think you're hiding anything, right? β
Jack seemed to have just noticed Ji Ran now, and looked him up and down carefully, and then said abruptly.
"You, it's Ji Ran? I've often heard Lucy mention that you're pretty good-looking, but you're nowhere near as good as me. β
ββ¦β¦β
Mo Niannian twitched the corners of his mouth fiercely, another strange thing? But this person spoke with a hint of frivolity, why was it different from what he felt before?
Mo Niannian went straight to Finney's corpse, and couldn't help frowning when he saw that her nails were intact and there were no traces of being scratched. It's not Finney, but the murderer is a woman?
But judging from the state of the dagger on Finney's chest, the other party was fatal with a knife, and even rotated the dagger in order to make Finney die faster, so Finney shed so much blood.
If that's the case, then this murderer must be a woman with a lot of strength.
It's just that...... If this is the case, the murderer must have been too careless. Was this an unintentional move by the murderer or a deliberate clue to mislead others?
Mo Niannian asked subconsciously.
"Who was the last person Finney saw before he died?"
"It's me."
A voice came, but Mo Niannian felt that there was a bit of a cheap taste inexplicably.
Mo Niannian looked at Jack and asked.
"What did you say to Finney?"
"It's just something I haven't seen for a long time, and I miss it very much."
Jack spoke, but his eyes kept falling on Ji Ran's body.
He has no confidence that a petite woman like Mo Niannian can solve the case. In contrast, Jack, who has been listening to Lucy for this time, has a different kind of affection for Ji Ran.
Jack looked at Ji Ran and asked.
"Commander Ji, you didn't come here to elope with Lucy, did you?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Mr. Jack is also the heir of a large family, do you really think that Lucy will elope with me?"
"That might be."
Jack pretended to think about it and said uncertainly.
Hearing this, Mo Niannian twitched the corners of his mouth fiercely, now he is investigating the cause of Finney's death, are you here to say that Lucy will elope with Ji Ran, no matter what the situation and occasion, it is not suitable to say this, right?
Here, Ji Ran looked at Jack seriously and said.
"It seems that Mr. Jack has no confidence in himself, and if he can't even control himself as his fiancΓ©e, there is really no need for this engagement banquet to go on."
The corners of Jack's mouth stiffened. The next moment, he turned to look at Mo Niannian impatiently and asked.
"How's the investigation going? If you don't find out before the engagement feast is over, then you don't want to go back to your country! If your husband takes my fiancΓ©e, you can keep it for me!" β
It seems that Jack knows about her relationship with Ji Ran! Then why did you act like you didn't know her at all?
What exactly does this Jack mean? What is he trying to hide?
Mo Niannian took a deep breath and said lightly.
"If Mr. Jack wants this engagement feast to go well, it's best to tell you all the things you know. Otherwise, judging from the current situation and clues, it will be difficult to solve the case before the engagement banquet begins. Even after the engagement feast is over, the case may not be solved. β
Jack shrugged indifferently, then muttered.
"That's not going to work! Almost everyone knows about the engagement party, and the media has come a lot. If you say that if you don't get engaged, you won't get engaged, how faceless is that? I'll have to go to the godfather first. How could such a thing happen because Finney was a little butler? β
As he spoke, Jack glanced at Finney's body with disgust. No matter how beautiful a woman is, as long as she dies, she is left with a disgusting skin.
Seeing that Jack had finally left, Mo Niannian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why is he here?"
Mo Niannian couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Jason hurriedly explained.
When Mr. Jack heard about this, he was very interested...... cough cough~ I was in a hurry, so I came to take a look, saying that it was a beauty like Miss Feeney, how could anyone be willing to kill her. β
ββ¦β¦β
Mo Niannian twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Jason curiously, hesitated for a moment and asked.
"What kind of person is Mr. Jack?"
"Mr. Jack, as the heir of the Jack family, likes to eat, drink, and be merry, hugging left and right. is a young master, but his heart is good. There is also ability. This engagement banquet with Miss Lucy was said to be to cement Mr. Jack's position in the family. Mr. Jack has the support of his godfather, and he is even more convincing in the family. β
Mo Niannian blinked, a little unclear.
"Since Jack is the heir, why would he do such a thing?"
This means the same as the political marriage or business marriage in our China. The engagement banquet of Lucy and Jack has more to do with the two forces behind them. β
