Chapter 19: There Is Only One Truth

Charlotte's eyes flashed red, and she reappeared in the bathroom.

Nothing changed around me, it was like a dream.

He turned his head to look at Ilya beside him, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, she came out with her.

Seeing Elijah's side face, Charlotte suddenly thought of a question, why did she become a witch in the first place?

But this must be the deepest secret of the girl's heart, and at the right time, she will tell it herself.

Compared with these, I have more urgent dilemmas to solve.

It's been a short time since I've entered the Phantom Glass Realm, I don't know what's going on outside, has my sister been taken away?

He was in a hurry, and hurriedly pushed open the door of the bathroom and walked out.

After going out, he looked at the mechanical gear wall clock hanging on the wall and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

It's only been about 5 minutes since I entered the bathroom.

But he had the impression that he had been in the Phantom Glass Realm for more than half a day.

Ilya walked up behind him and explained:

"The flow of time in the Illusory Glass Realm is a hundred times slower than in the real world."

In other words, Charlotte still has time to turn the tide before the Mounties take Venia away!

He began to think.

Tori's Phantom Glass Realm was born out of her resentment and the killer's murderous intent, and the scenes inside were all made up of the memories of the people involved.

In other words, many things there may also be what the murderer saw and heard when he committed the crime, and may even be related to the means of committing the crime.

Of particular note are exaggerated objects that do not correspond to the proportions of reality, which are certainly the most impressive in the memory of the person concerned.

Items that meet these conditions are "Dachshund Cheese", "Ice Worm Silk", "White Ceramic Bottle", and "Aether Stove".

Charlotte needs to find a way to find these clues in Jenny's house and then reconstruct the murder process, but the Mounties will certainly not allow him to act casually, and someone needs to attract the other party's attention.

"Miss Elijah, I need your help."

……

A moment later, the front yard of the mansion was already a mess of porridge,

Ilya crossed her arms around Xiao Man's waist, her tongue was warned, and she resolutely protected Venia in front of her, preventing the mounted police from approaching.

And Fina was expressionless, as if she was hesitating in her heart.

At this time, Ilya's simplicity played a role, the Mounted Police Regiment said things and things, she pulled the north and south, and the Mounted Police Regiment and her broke one plus one equals two, and she said nonsense with her backhand, two plus two equals four.

Although the two sides are not talking on the same channel at all, they have their own opinions, and they even quarrel back and forth.

According to the previous style of the Mounted Police Corps, this Diao Min who found fault would have been arrested a long time ago.

But now that the White Rose Knight is present, they are not too out of line, how should this case be handled, and in the end, it depends on Fina's face.

And Charlotte took this opportunity to quietly start searching the entire mansion.

Once in the kitchen, he quickly found a door on the south side of the kitchen.

He pushed open the door, and inside was a simple bedroom, which was the maid Mary's room, and he found the silk of ice worms stacked in a metal plate.

The position of one of the rolls of ice worm silk was obviously crooked, and it had been torn apart, and a section was missing.

Charlotte picked up the silk thread, which felt tough and able to withstand great pull.

The door lock in this bedroom caught his eye, and all the doors in Jenny's house used the same steam valve.

He wound the thread around the door's inner opening, just enough to fit through the tiny keyhole. Pulling with your hand outside the door, you can hear the aether crystals driving the steam trap and locking the door completely.

With a stroke of skill, he could successfully lock the door, and then, the broken silk thread returned to his hand.

The silk threads are too thin and transparent, and the hidden crevices are so deep that almost everyone did not notice this detail when they first investigated the scene.

This secret room is indeed a fake!

Later, Charlotte found the two white ceramic bottles in the kitchen.

A bottle of mint water, a vegetable broth with Tori's leftovers.

He used the elimination method to analyze the contents of the stomachs of the two men: Venia and Tori both drank herb black tea, both drank mint water, and only Tori drank vegetable soup in the morning.

He used a small bowl with some samples of vegetable soup.

Later, he found the ether stove on the north wall of the tea room, with the remaining burnt cinders in it, and he thought for a moment before picking up some of the cinders and putting them in his pocket.

After coming out of the tea room, he saw the cheese in the corner at a glance.

At this time, the little girl next door was playing with cheese, and I saw her snap her fingers, and the cheese ran away for some distance with joy, and then ran straight back.

"Well, I'm doing well, aren't I?"

The little girl was very proud. As long as the people around you are familiar with cheese, after sending the signal, the cheese will do the same action, and then run back with its tongue hanging to receive the reward.

This is a very typical Paplov conditioning.

The fog in Charlotte's mind began to dissipate.

He came to Fina of the White Rose Knights, handed him a small bowl and cinders, and said:

"Ask Miss Fina to help identify these things."

"Haven't you tested for toxicity, it's not poisonous." Paul was a little dissatisfied, and threatened in a low voice:

"As a relative of the suspect, if you pester, you will be suspected of obstructing the investigation, so that even White Rose will not be able to protect you."

Charlotte smiled calmly, "No, what I want Miss Fina to test is not the toxicity, but the ingredients." ”

With that, he pulled out a few leaves from the vegetable soup.

If you want to detect the ingredients, you need more sophisticated instruments.

The knight next to Fina connected the magic guide to the test tube, then threw the mashed vegetable leaves into the test tube, and clicked the screen several times.

After a moment, he said in surprise: "This ...... It's not spinach, it's dragon scale fireweed. ”

Although it looks and tastes like spinach leaves, it is one of the ingredients of alchemy, and there are a few lords in the northern suburbs of Frank's Domain, and it is usually used to refine the secret medicine for physical strength.

"What if...... Dragonscale fireweed and flowing frost mint together, what is the effect? Charlotte twitched the corners of her mouth and asked.

Fina was silent for a moment, and said slowly with a blue face:

"Will produce a highly poisonous elixir - Dragon Scale Frost Poison!"

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and sure enough, it was exactly as he expected!

The white ceramic bottle containing these two things appeared in the memory of the murderer, and it was destined to be not simple.

Previously, the White Rose Knight used a probe to test for poison twice, but only came up with a non-toxic result.

But it does not take into account the possibility that two things that are not poisonous in the first place will be toxic when combined.

"Oh, by the way, and this thing, please identify it too."

Charlotte took out the cinders she had found from the aether stove in the tea room.

This time, without waiting for the knight next to her to make a move, Fina personally produced the cinder and sniffed it.

"The very concentrated black kite spice is produced in the sea of tama trees, and if it is in a closed room, it can make people unconscious quickly."

The results of the appraisal caused an uproar among all those present.

"So, do you know who the killer is?" Fina's face was solemn.

"That's right, after all, there is only one truth."

Charlotte helped her non-existent air glasses, then pointed at someone in the crowd.

"The murderer is you!"
