Chapter 10: A Sharp Turn

This is the first time that his boss has not listened to Eric's instructions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What's going on, Mr. Detective, please give me a reasonable explanation. Justin said.

Edith motioned for Mr. Justin to sit down, "It's easy. Mr. Rich had two boxes of matches. And he gave you a box on the platform and that's it. As for the other box, it was clearly destroyed by the prisoners. ”

The little detective was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

Yes, Eric's strategy does have a loophole. Although most people are accustomed to carrying a box of matches, no one can deny that some outliers like to carry two, three, or even more.

Although he didn't think Justin would think of this, he never expected to be discovered by his boss, who was always clumsy. Now, he can only rethink his countermeasures.

"So, can I take your assistant's statement as evidence of slander?" Justin looked relieved, but he didn't forget to bite back without stopping.

Edith clasped his hands together and smiled, "I don't think that's necessary. What I said just now was just to make the real murderer let his guard down. ”

"Okay. I hope the murderer you caught will satisfy me. "The aristocracy's rare generosity once said that it would not be pursued again.

Edith motioned for his subordinate to return to his deputy's seat. Eric had no choice but to obey orders. The Detective then spoke: "As my assistant mentioned before, Mr. Rich knows Mr. Justin's name, so the word 'noble' left behind just proves that Justin is not a murderer. ”

Eric shook his head slightly, judging from Justin's resolute refusal to hand over the match just now, the identity of his murderer could be confirmed. There is a clear bridge between the eyes of the boss and the nobleman. No doubt they had reached some sort of consensus outside of Eric's sight.

Eric then remembered the phrase "Let the captain vacate the dining car in an hour". For an hour, I went to Box No. 4 to complete the negotiation and then came out as if nothing happened, which was more than enough time.

Habits are habits, and they are hard to change.

It seems that the boss is determined to protect the noble lord.

"Now, it's time to talk about who the real murderer is. Edith said, slowly walking over to Pat's side, "Mr. Justin's suspicion has been cleared, and Mr. Rowan is a well-known wealthy businessman. Therefore, there is only one person left for the murderer. ”

All eyes were on Pat.

Pat then spoke, "Mr. Detective." I have to say that you are simply illogical. I repeat, I did not kill Mr. Richie. ”

His eyes were frighteningly cold.

Edith, however, did not look at the murderous Mr. Pat: "No criminal will easily admit his guilt." But as long as the detective's reasoning is convincing enough, he has to be sent to prison. ”

"Where's the convincing reasoning, Mr. Detective?"

Edith straightens his collar: "First of all, you are a nobleman. The nobility of the remote areas is often not well known. ”

Pat sneered.

"You've been friends with Mr. Richie for a long time, and he's got something you desperately need. It's a terrible thing that can't be known to anyone else. So you pretend you don't know each other, intending to trade on the midnight train. ”

Pat asked, "So I went to his room in the middle of the night and killed him for that item?"

Edith clapped his hands and pointed at Mr. Pat, "Yes! You thought you had killed Mr. Richie, so you rummaged through his luggage, threw everything out the window that could reveal your identity, destroyed it, and erased all traces of your entry into the room, and took the item. But you don't realize that Mr. Ritchie is not completely dead, and he tries his best to pretend to be dead until you leave, leaving a message on the floor with his viscous blood. And just now, you have finally confessed your crime. ”

This is what Eric told his boss. Originally, it was going to talk about Mr. Justin, but it was replaced by Mr. Pat by his boss.

Pat asked, "I didn't admit to the crime I didn't have. You say we're old acquaintances, so why didn't he leave my name? This is not in line with what you just said. ”

Edith immediately had a new saying: "Well, I'll take back what I said. Now that I think about it, you left that message on purpose, to confuse the public, to make us suspect Mr. Justin. ”

Bummer.

"Looks like no matter what I explain, you recognize me as a murderer. Mr. Pat said.

The detective looked confident: "Although the evidence is not sufficient, I still have to ask you to go to the Oude police station first." I believe that in further investigation, the evidence will naturally emerge. ”

At that point, perhaps the evidence will be available.

After all, it's man-made.

Mr. Pat seemed to understand something, and the expression on his face was very strange: "Judging by these clues alone is not a good detective. ”

"But the truth is, I'm a detective, and you're not. Edith said in a straight voice.

Bang bang bang. Mr. Justin applauded. Although the crew heard it in a fog, they also applauded.

Now that the detective has found the murderer, it is naturally right. "Sir......" Eric looked like he wanted to say something, but he saw the fierce face of his boss.

That's what it means to shut him up.

Eric admits that while he is not an absolutely good person, he has never framed an innocent person. Before arriving in the Holy Capital, his boss was still in control of his future, and now his boss told him not to do anything superfluous.

He didn't want to, but he decided to keep quiet.

Seeing his boss's face, countless more terrible thoughts poured into Eric's mind one after another.

If Mr. Justin had decided to frame Mr. Pat in the first place, then deliberately leaving the word "noble" after the murder would have become a better way to use people's contrarian thinking to exonerate themselves from suspicion. If you make your thoughts a little more vicious......

Perhaps, before getting into the car, Justin wrote to Inspector Edith and told the detective his plan and asked him to help him with his plan, and got the detective's promise, so he dared to commit the crime boldly.

In any case, Eric's judgment had been grossly erroneous, as it was a well-planned homicide.

Eric lost, and lost completely.

After this battle, he finally has a new understanding of his boss: his boss is never stupid, he is stupid. As for why Mr. Inspector was able to climb to today's position, he finally had an answer.

At this point, Inspector Edith clapped his palms in a victorious stance. The door on the side of the dining car opened, and a team of uniformed police officers entered, presumably on the bus when they had stopped at the previous stop. They surged forward toward the Pats. Eric couldn't bear to be maliciously framed by an innocent person like this, and he, a detective, couldn't do anything about it.

He has no evidence.

"A country detective is a country detective after all, and he always likes to do things hastily. "It was Miss Fiancée, who had always been quiet and silent, who spoke.

The fiancé next to him scolded: "Triss!"

Triss suddenly took out a spherical object and threw it on the ground. A police officer had no time to stop it. The sphere cracked, and in an instant, dust filled the entire carriage. All eyes are temporarily out of action. Everyone suddenly became headless flies, and the loss of a sense made them panic a little, and began to stir irregularly in this limited space.

Unfortunately, the detective, bathed in dust, still retained a trace of sanity, and hurriedly ordered: "No, they have to escape! Block the doors on both sides, don't let them slip!"

Bang bang!

Six gunshots, followed by a loud bang. The woman's screams followed, and it was Mr. Justin's maid, and the sudden gunfire frightened her. The people in the carriage were also shocked into a cold sweat, and they all found cover and squatted down.

Probably because the murderer started shooting indiscriminately in a hurry, it was bad if he was hit by a stray bullet.

"Open the window, open the window!" shouted Edith again.

The officers near the window finally came to their senses and hurriedly lifted the only two windows.

The dust gradually dissipated.

Everyone looked at each other, some were coughing, some were patting the dust off their bodies. The two suspects, who were supposed to be in the middle of the carriage, were nowhere to be found.

Eric subconsciously looked at the roof of the carriage, where a circular hole appeared. Obviously, the six gunshots just now pierced the thick iron sheet and allowed the suspect to break through.

"Hell, let them run!"
