Chapter 10: The Chameleon

Things are out of Jack's control. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he did want to fix the Viscount Eno Byron, he had absolutely no intention of killing him, for no one in modern times has the habit of killing a killer when someone else is unhappy! Not to mention the modern age, even in Eitletta, there are not many such radicals - and such radicals have either gone to prison or lost their lives in successive battles.

What's more, even if Jack were to kill someone, he wouldn't let someone die in his house, that would cause him a lot of trouble. So, instead of rejoicing at the death of Eno Byron, Jack was full of pity for the innocent man who lost his life.

"Tsk, that's pathetic. ”

Shaking his head, Jack sighed and stood up.

"Aunt Lucy, get someone to call the police...... Ah no, call the Detective Task Force!" Jack kept his composure, and instructed the frightened Aunt Lucyβ€”the old woman had never seen a dead person several times in her life, but her years had calmed her down quickly.

Turning his gaze away from Aunt Lucy's hurried back, Jack looked at Lilith, who had a pale face with a wide open mouth. Her eyes widened as she stared at the corpse on the floor, the shutters tightened to dim the light in the toilet and Lilith's dazzling red hair.

Lilith's red lips tentatively opened and closed a few times, and she seemed to say something, but in an instant she was defeated and shuddered.

"What do you want to say, Lilith?" asked Jack curiously.

The maid lady suddenly turned her head to look at Jack, her wide eyes were full of despair, and after three or four short breaths, she finally mustered up the courage to question Jack:

"Why do you ...... Why did you kill him???"

"Me?" said Jack, pointing at himself, frowning, "how could it be that I killed him? I don't have that much enmity with him, and I just want to fix him!"

"You killed it, you put the poison into the ice cubes of the black tea! When the ice melted, the toxins slowly seeped out, and then Master Eno was killed!" Lilith shouted excitedly, staring at Jack viciously, her blue eyes full of anger.

"I didn't do it, the only thing I told people to add to the ice was laxatives. I didn't poison him, Lilith, and you have to calm down, if I really want to kill him, why should I let him die in my house, it will get me in trouble. Jack explained as best he could, "Calm down, breathe deeply, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale!"

He grabbed Lilith's white and tender little hand, feeling the tender skin on that hand, of course he didn't want to take the opportunity to rub the oil, he just wanted to use the transmission of this power to calm down Miss Lilith, who was obviously in a state of excitement.

After Jack took two deep breaths, Lilith finally calmed down, her face still pale, but she no longer trembled.

"I'm sorry for being rude. She shook off Jack's hand and bowed slightly to Jack, and then Lilith raised her head and said to Jack with a blank face, "But you may have taken advantage of people's habitual thinking to deliberately let Master Eno die in your house!"

"But it's really not me! Why can't you believe me?" Jack, who had been suspicious like this and deeply understood his innocence, was a little unhappy, and his tone became a little excited, "I'm really innocent! Why should I kill the young master of the Byron family if I have nothing to do? Is this not good for me at all? Then why do you want to be so sad for this kind of person? Don't you think that this young master Byron has a very difficult personality to get along with?"

"Isn't it good for you, and how can someone like me know?" Lilith's voice was low, her long eyelashes full of sadness, "I only know that if Young Master Ino is dead, then our family is finished." ”

"Do you think the Byron family will take their anger out on you?"

"Isn't that true of you nobles? The young master of the Byron family is dead, and they must need a man to vent their anger, and they will kill my whole family to pity my four-year-old sister, and they will also go to the cold grave because of my fault, she has not enjoyed the sun for long!"

"Don't think about it so much, I won't let such a tragedy happen, please believe me, I will find the real murderer, if the Byron family really dares to anger you, then I will also protect you! Don't worry, the current Western Continent is already a human rights society, and no people can be killed in the city, as long as it is ......"

"What do you know?" Lilith interrupted Jack with an excited shout, "Human rights are equal? Hehe! The common people and the nobles are guilty of the same crime? Hehe! You use your money and power to make the law bend over, and you use your hypocritical smiling face to make people sing praises, but I have long seen through it, you moths, who in this world can stop you from sinning, you say?

Jack was silent for a moment, and he felt that what Lilith said seemed to make sense, because as a person who was familiar with history, he knew that many times equality was just a slogan for rulers, but on the other hand, he felt that it was biased, because personally, he felt that he was a good person.

"I'm coming!"

Just as Jack was about to reply, he heard a strong male voice coming from the aisle.

Jack and Lilith looked away.

A burly man was coming around the corner.

He was dressed in a dark black police uniform, with a tall gentleman's hat, and a square face with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, which made people think that he was an upright and rugged person at first sight.

Aunt Lucy, Tifa, and the other police officers followed the man and walked towards Jack, which made Jack understand the identity of the man, who was presumably the new Inspector Quinn Jonashe.

"I'll do justice!"

The man named Quinn shouted in his rough voice, which made both Jack and Lilith not only nod secretly, but felt that this was a strong-willed and admirable man.

Quinn strode up to Jack, then smiled innocently and greeted Jack, "Dear Earl Scallett, down there is Quinn Jonathy of the Guards Reconnaissance Special Team. I heard that there is a case in your area, so I have come to investigate. ”

"Hello, I'm Jack Scarlett. Jack nodded and shook Quinn's hand.

"You are as personable and approachable as rumored, and you are worthy of the hero who saved Ember City. Quinn's rough voice didn't make people impatient, because his words made people feel like a spring breeze.

"You're overrated, I'm not as good as you say. Jack smiled a little awkwardly.

"Now the world is really chaotic, why do people commit crimes everywhere? I really admire the courage of that criminal to dare to commit a crime in the Earl's Court. ”

"The body is in the toilet, Mr. Quinn, as you can see, I was no longer there when the deceased died, I didn't kill this man!" Jack added, believing himself innocent.

Quinn nodded again and again, as if he had gotten something, and said, "Of course, of course! I absolutely believe in your innocence, how can a big hero like you knowingly commit a crime and deliberately kill someone at home! Don't worry, I will definitely find all the evidence, catch the real murderer, and wash away the stain for you." By the way, please ask the identity of this deceased. ”

"Eno Byron. Lilith said, who was standing aside.

"Eno Byron?" Quinn repeated the name twice, then suddenly thought of something, and his face changed, "But that Eno Byron?"

"Yes, he is my master, the first heir to House Byron, Eno Byron!" Lilith affirmed.

Quinn's face changed, and the innocent smile on his face was gone.

A cold face spat out a disrespectful tone: "I'm sorry, Count Scarlett. ”

"What's wrong?" said Jack wondered.

"It is my duty to handle cases impartially, and I cannot be biased. ”

"That's right!" Jack nodded.

"So, I must take this case of Viscount Byron's death at Scarlett House very seriously, and in my opinion, Mr. Scarlett, you are still very suspicious!" Quinn indifferently asserted, "I ask you to cooperate with the investigation. ”

"Heh!hehe!" Jack laughed at Quinn's contrasting attitude.

Jack thought the strong man was a warrior chasing justice, but he was wrong.

This Quinn is obviously a chameleon who clings to the powerful and is keen to stand in line correctly.
