Fina asked, "Who makes the mint water?" ”

Dr. Grace stepped forward: "It's me. The water is mainly made from the runny mint and fresh lemon that are abundant in Yerba Buena and has an uplifting effect......"

Fina nodded, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this water.

After that, she summoned all three of the guests who had been present this morning for her questioning.

First up is John, a forty-year-old ingredient merchant.

Charlotte didn't have a deep impression of John, only that he had been alone for many years and always liked to lie on the window of the widow's house, and Jenny had been widowed in Yerba Buena Town for many years, so there were rumors that Jenny and John had a leg.

"I arrived at 6 o'clock this morning, and I went to the kitchen first, and Ms. Jenny asked me to prepare a lot of ingredients for today's tea party, and I put them away," he said. Then I helped clean up all parts of the house. After that, I sat in the doorway and cooled off, occasionally teasing the cheese. ”

He pointed to the dachshund in the corner of the courtyard, where Cheese was Jenny's pet.

The second person among the guests was the doctor Grace.

Grace had never been accustomed to Jenny's attitude towards Venia's siblings, and was notoriously jealous and hateful in the town.

"I came in close to 6:30 a.m. and went to the kitchen to mix all the drinks I'd be using today, including mint water. After that, I chatted with Viniaa and Jenny in the yard, occasionally teasing cheese. Later, when talking about Tori and Charlotte, Venia was a little upset and was pulled by Tori to the tearoom for tea. ”

Fina asked, "Lady Grace, who was in the kitchen when you went to the kitchen?" ”

"Mary was in the kitchen preparing dessert, and oh, and Tori was eating breakfast in the kitchen."

The last person was the maid of the house - Mary.

Mary looked to be in her early twenties, and her long messy hair couldn't hide her beautiful face, but her eyes were a little glazed and she looked like she had intellectual problems.

It was privately rumored in the town that Mary's temperament was very similar to that of the eldest lady of a noble family, and Jenny must have bought her from a slave trader because she was stupid.

Mary would weave very fine silk fabrics, which made her identity even more suspicious.

Jenny was not nice to her, and people around her could often hear her scolding Mary.

"I woke up around 5:45 today.

I cleaned the yard first, then went to the tea room to prepare black tea, and then made desserts for the tea party in the kitchen, and took the time to make a bowl of vegetable soup for Tori for breakfast, which was lettuce and spinach soup. ”

When Mary spoke, her eyes wandered from side to side, which alerted Fina.

She gives her teammates a look, and they understand it, find leftover vegetable soup from the kitchen, and test it for toxicity.

The results showed that this bowl of vegetable soup was also not toxic.

Charlotte noticed that Mary seemed to be afraid of dogs, so she deliberately avoided cheese when she walked around the yard.

Paul's face was full of smugness, and he began to go out into the crowd to reason:

"From the testimony just now, it can be judged that from the time Tori pulled Venia into the house for tea to the time when the door to the tea room was destroyed, all the parties had alibi, and their locations could see each other in their field of vision, which was simply a perfect alibi chain."

Jenny also cried:

"Venia's incriminating evidence has been conclusive, please bring her to justice."

Venia's face turned pale with despair.

Charlotte clenched her fists, didn't things really turn any better?

His instincts told him that the killer must be among them, but he needed more clues.

Ilya, who had been beside him for a long time, suddenly patted his shoulder, glanced at him, and motioned for him to come to the side and whisper.

"There's a new witch's cocoon nearby, and I've finally figured out where she's located." Ilya whispered, looking nervous.

"Could it be that this murder was committed by a witch?"

Charlotte was suspicious, if there were really witches or monsters nearby, it would be impossible for the knights, who were the chosen ones, not to notice it.

"No, it should be said that this murder itself will give birth to a new witch, and if you find her, it will help clear the suspicion of Sister Venia."

Ilya sneakily observes the people around her, and takes Charlotte into the bathroom in the corner while they are not looking.

With a thud, she closed the bathroom door.

Charlotte was a little stunned by Ilya's abrupt move.

What does it mean to be alone in the bathroom?

Just as Charlotte was about to ask, Elijah held out her finger and made a gesture.

"It's too late to explain, please be quiet first."

She finished speaking, holding out the tip of her index finger.

In the blink of an eye, a faint red light emitted from the white fingertips.

Then, the point of light leaves the fingertip and emerges into mid-air.

The point of light was the size of a fingernail at first, then grew larger and larger, slowly turning into a huge round hole that took up almost the entire bathroom.

The cave is full of wind and thunder, and Mercury is splashing everywhere.

Charlotte suddenly felt that she was being torn into the cave by a huge suction.

He caught a glimpse of the red light inside the cave spinning in a clockwise direction like water from a toilet bowl.

This made him have a very bad association in his heart, and he tried to pull the tile wall behind him, but to no avail.

Soon, Charlotte and Elijah were sucked into the hole, their bodies spinning rapidly, and they were shaken to pieces.

Finally, with the sound of a finished flush, they completely disappeared into the depths of the cave.

……

When Charlotte regains consciousness, she finds herself in the middle of nowhere.

The sky was light purple, and a red sun hung high above it, emitting a soft and eerie glow.

The surrounding land is black, but many of the stones glow white, and the whole world has a very strange hue, as if it has added an inverted color filter.

He could tell from the outline of the ground that the land under his feet was Yerba Chowden, but it was far from the real Yerba Chowden.

Not only is the color tone wrong, but in the air overhead, there are many chaotic objects of different colors floating in the air, which seem to have daily necessities, food, steam farming tools, and various animals.

Above the sky, lilac aurora surges like waves of seawater.

Charlotte wondered at first that she had traveled to a parallel world again.

But after seeing these impossible scenes in the real world, he felt that this place was more like some kind of fantasy world.

At this moment, Ilya got up from beside him.

It can be seen that her landing posture just now was not very elegant, and she fell a small buttocks.

"What do you see, haven't you ever seen a lady wrestling, woo~"

She wiped the tears on her cheeks with her little hand from the pain of the fall.

When she found that Charlotte was shocked by the scene in front of her, she proudly crossed her waist with her hands.

"Well, I can find here, it's amazing, right? This is a secret realm called "Phantom Glass Realm", and it is a witch territory created by a witch. ”
