When I was choked by Mu Zihan's words and didn't dare to speak again for a while, he began to explain the reason why Luo Zhigang, who was hanging outside the balcony railing, was not discovered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Actually, the simplest way to say it is the principle of blinding by bright light." Mu Zihan explained: "This is why it is stipulated in the traffic rules that it is forbidden to drive in the city with high beams. It's not just that when the high beams are shining, the driver will be distracted due to eye discomfort. There is an even bigger reason, that is, if the eyes are illuminated by the high beams of the oncoming vehicle, the driver will be blinded by the strong light, resulting in the inability to see the surrounding pedestrians, then it is easy to cause a car accident. ”

In retrospect, I remember that at the beginning of the festival's paper-burning event, four high-wattle spotlights shone on the brazier from four directions, and the brazier was blazing with fierce flames, and the strong light emitted by these almost dyed the night near the brazier into day.

And at that time, everyone's attention was focused on the brazier, and even if I got bored and started looking around, like me, with the human eyes that had just seen such a strong light, I couldn't see the situation in the darker corners of the castle.

When this technique was explained clearly by Mu Zihan, I finally understood it completely. After thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be really simple, just put Luo Zhigang, who was in a coma, on the paper boat according to the previous method. After that, he rushed back to the celebration site when the paper boat carrying the unconscious Luo Zhigang was carried to the brazier by four housekeepers. Then, you can follow everyone to witness the process of Luo Zhigang being burned to death. If you pretend to be panicked in the end, you won't be easily suspected.

"I see. But that doesn't prove that the killer must be Miss Millie. Although, this modus operandi needs to be used in her room. However, it should be the chief housekeeper who gives us specific room arrangements. Millie doesn't necessarily know which room she'll be placed in. If it weren't in that room, wouldn't it be impossible to do it? Fei Yiping asked suspiciously.

"You're right, this wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the room right above the warehouse exit. Therefore, the arrangement of the room is by no means left to the discretion of the chief housekeeper. I'm right, Mr. Liu Zhen, the chief housekeeper. Saying that, Mu Zihan looked at Liu Zhen, who had been waiting for Liu Wei.

"That's right, in fact, the room where each guest stays is decided in advance by the host and notified me by text message. Moreover, since most of the guests are regular guests of the manor, they are usually arranged in the rooms where they used to live. The old housekeeper pondered and replied: "Mr. Fei, I remember that I only started to interact with my master five years ago, and besides, there has been no event in the manor for the past three years, so I have not invited Mr. Fei to come, so I may not know much about it." ”

"So, was Millie and Luo Zhigang's room the same?" I finally recovered from my embarrassment and looked at the old butler and asked.

"No, that room originally belonged to Mr. Luo Zhigang, but this time Miss Millie and Mr. Luo Zhigang came together, and they also asked to stay in the same room, so ......," said the old housekeeper.

"Exactly." Mu Zihan interrupted the old butler's words, signaling that he didn't have to say any more.

"That doesn't necessarily have to be Millie, even if it's not her, other people can also kill Luo Zhigang in this way." Fei Yiping asked.

"That's right, if it's just that, someone else can do it. However, in the second murder case of Han Tao, she left too many flaws. Mu Zihan admitted: "As for the flaws in the second case, I don't think I need to talk about it." ”

"It's not her, I'm doing everything, I'm doing everything." At this moment, Liu Wei, who had been silent before, suddenly shouted and rushed to the long table, and said to everyone: "It was I who killed Luo Zhigang with this method, and it was also me who sneaked into her room, killed Han Tao, and smashed the window to escape, everything was done by me, and it has nothing to do with Millie." ”

"Bastard, what are you talking nonsense?" Seeing Liu Wei's excited confession, the old housekeeper scolded angrily.

"Dad, I'm not talking nonsense, I really did it, I like Millie and don't want anyone to get close to her, so I killed all the men who tried to get close to her." The man didn't flick when he had tears, but he didn't get to the sad place, I didn't expect Liu Wei to be the son of the old housekeeper Liu Zhen, and I didn't expect him to be so excited, while confessing his guilt, he actually cried bitterly.

"Liu Wei, why are you doing this?" Seeing the scene in front of him, even Mu Zihan didn't know what to do for a while, and after a while, he sighed and said.

"Aren't you just going to be a murderer? I confessed that I did everything, and I was the one who poisoned these refreshments. Now that you're satisfied, don't say any more. Liu Wei said that he actually picked up a cup of tea in his hand and was about to drink it.

Seeing this scene, Mu Zihan and I were startled, and we suddenly got up to stop Liu Wei from doing something stupid, but because we were sitting at the end of the long table, we were separated from Liu Wei by a considerable distance, and it was too late to stop this tragedy.

"Smack"

At this moment, Millie, who was standing beside him and had been silent, suddenly stood up and slapped Liu Wei in the face, knocking away the cup of poisonous tea and saving his life. Do you think that suicide after taking my sin is enough to atone for the sins you committed back then? Not enough, far from enough, I tell you, I want you to live well, to bear the pain and suffering in your heart day after day, year after year, so that you can live in the hell of self-blame every day. ”

"Mu Zihan, Detective Mu, I know you want to say that everything is indeed done by me, and the poison in these refreshments is also the poison I took advantage of Han Tao's time to remove makeup in the bathroom, and ran to the kitchen of the restaurant on the second floor to poison it. But, as I said before, all this is just your reasoning, what evidence do you have? After yelling at Liu Wei, Millie turned to shout from this Mu Zihan.

"I don't know what crime you committed back then, but it makes no sense for you to take the blame for others like this. Moreover, you were also wrong just now, I don't want a murderer, I want the truth of the whole thing to be revealed. Mu Zihan looked at Liu Wei, who was already crying, and after saying with a serious face, he turned to look at Millie and said, "Don't worry, I will give you evidence." Because you are the 'fourteenth guest'. ”

"What? It's the second time you've said she's the 'fourteenth guest', what the hell is going on? Shouldn't the fourteenth guest be Wang Xinyan? Although I was shocked by the scene in front of me, I was also curious about what happened to Liu Wei and Millie back then, which would make such a big man cry bitterly and seek death. However, hearing Mu Zihan's words, he couldn't help but ask this question first.

"She's more than that. She is the 'fourteenth guest' of this celebration, the planner and organizer of this celebration, and the current owner of this manor on the other side, yes, she is the current 'Earl of Butterfly' herself. Mu Zihan said a message with a solemn face, which made me go straight from shock to stunned

"What! She's the 'Butterfly Count'!? Mu Zihan's words also made everyone in the restaurant explode at once. It's not that they didn't suspect that Millie was the 'Count of Butterfly', after all, everything before had vaguely shown this, but when they actually heard it with their own ears, that kind of inner shock was still unavoidable.
