Chapter 16: The Titanic Murder Case (Part II)

"Sheriff, there is a Mr. Monet who claims to know who the murderer of the Titanic is!" On this day, Sheriff Klein had just arrived at the police station, and his officers reported to him.

"Monet? Why does this name sound so familiar! Sheriff Klein muttered to himself.

"It's the writer Monet who has been watching lately!" The officer prompted.

Sheriff Klein suddenly realized, "Oh, it's him, then please come in!" ”

Two minutes later, the police officer walked in with Monet, and then Sheriff Klein asked him, "Mr. Monet, do you know who is the murderer of the recent series of murders against the survivors of the Titanic?" ”

Monet hesitated for a moment, then replied: "To be precise, I have a guess, but I think I am very sure!" ”

To be honest, Klein was very disappointed when he heard that Monet was just a speculation, but since he had already invited people in, and because he liked to read Monet's novels, Sheriff Klein had a good impression of him, so he reluctantly gave him a chance and urged: "Then please tell me your speculation!" ”

"I speculate that the murderer should be the third deceased, Tom Donne's younger brother, Jack Donn!" Monet said in a deep voice.

"Why do you think he's a murderer? You must know that his brother is just like you, a survivor of the Titanic! Sheriff Klein asked, puzzled.

Monet explained: "In fact, this incident has nothing to do with the Titanic incident at all, or the reason why the murderer makes us think that this series of murders is related to the Titanic incident is to mislead us."

You think, if there was only one murder of Mr. Tom Donn, would you be the first to suspect his brother Mr. Jack Donn? Because as far as I know, Mr. Tom is not married, only his brother Jack is the heir, and he is not happy with his brother, because Mr. Jack is a loser who spends his days drinking, so he has been thinking lately about taking in an excellent stepson to inherit his family business......"

Before Monet could finish speaking, Klein interrupted: "So he killed three survivors of the Titanic incident one after another, and at the same time deliberately wrote a letter to the newspaper to make everyone mistakenly think that he murdered the survivors of the Titanic incident because a relative died in a shipwreck, so that no one would suspect Jack's head, right?" ”

Monet nodded and replied, "That's right, that's what it means, in fact, he is a combination of "Jack the Ripper" and "ABC Murders......"

But halfway through the sentence, he suddenly realized that Aunt Agatha was still just a little girl, so "ABC Murder" had not yet been written.

But unexpectedly, Sheriff Klein asked, "Mr. Monet, what does this ABC murder mean?" ”

Monet had no choice but to reply embarrassedly: "Well, it's actually a mystery novel I wrote, but it hasn't been published yet." Then, the general plot of "ABC Murder" was repeated.

Unexpectedly, Sheriff Klein was not surprised by this: "It turns out that Mr. Monet, you can also write mystery novels, no wonder, in fact, your "Treasure in the Declaration of Independence" is barely a mystery novel, and the derivation process is still relatively rigorous." Well, I don't know when this article of yours will be published, but I'll definitely buy it and read it when the time comes! ”

"When I'm done, I'll give you a copy!" Monet said.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, but I still don't understand a little, in that case, then the families or heirs of the other three deceased should also be suspicious, why do you only suspect Jack Donne, Mr. Monet?" Sheriff Klein asked curiously.

"Because of the four deceased, only Mr. Tom Don left a huge inheritance, and the other three were poor, and there was no good in killing them.

And this order of death of Mr. Tom is also very important, if he is the first to die, then this trick will not work, and if he is the last to die, then it will also seem a little abrupt, only in the middle will not be so conspicuous.

In the end, Mr. Tom's dyeing factory had the cyanide that poisoned the four dead, which was not so easy to buy, and Mr. Jack could easily get it at his brother's factory. Monet explained.

Sheriff Klein nodded and agreed, "Well, what you said makes sense, then I'll arrest this Mr. Jack now!" With that, Sheriff Klein stood up.

Monet asked with some surprise, "Huh? Why don't you investigate first? ”

"Bring him here first and then investigate, lest he run away." Sheriff Klein replied disapprehantly.

Afterwards, Sheriff Klein came to thank Monet with a gift and said to him: "Mr. Monet, I think you should really write a mystery novel, this case is exactly the same as your analysis, at first that Jack Don still wanted to deny, but we asked him about the time of the four cases, he did not have an alibi, and after investigation, there were witnesses who found that he had contact with the other three deceased, and then he quickly confessed to these four crimes. ”

Unexpectedly, Monet frowned and asked, "It's so easy to admit it?" ”

"It's all conclusive, what else does he not admit?" Sheriff Klein asked in confusion.

"I just think that it shouldn't be a simple guy who can devise such a complex modus operandi, how could he leave so many flaws and admit it so quickly."

"But during the interrogation, I didn't see what a smart man he was!"

"Don't you think there's a bit of a contradiction in this, Mr. Sheriff? If this Jack wasn't smart enough, how did he come up with this modus operandi? ”

Hearing Monet ask this, Sheriff Klein thought for a moment, and then asked with some deep thought: "Mr. Monet, you mean that this modus operandi was told to him by others?" ”

Monet nodded and replied: "Well, it's very likely, and according to my previous investigation of Jack, he is an uneducated guy, so how did he know that the other three dead were Titanic survivors?" You must know that the list of survivors has never been released to the public. ”
