Chapter 61: Here It Comes Again
He soon noticed a certain muscular male Mounted Police member, and a subtle panic flashed in his eyes.
After questioning Fina, it was revealed that his name was Buck.
Charlotte walked over to the other and began to ask questions while observing the details of the other party:
"Mr. Barker, where were you on the night of the 27th of last month?"
"I'm resting in the Mounted Police Corps dormitory."
"Can anyone prove it?"
"No one, my roommate went out drinking, I didn't like to drink, so I didn't go."
"Speaking ......of drinking," Charlotte looked at Fina beside her, and continued:
"Miss Fina, do you remember, there happened to be a drunk fighting near the dormitory of the Mounted Police Regiment that day, and the place where the incident happened was under the maple tree next to the dormitory building, and White Rose sent someone to deal with it. This is the ...... Did you know, Mr. Barker? ”
"Oh, this, I seem to hear it vaguely......"
"Hear or don't hear, give me an accurate answer."
The mounted policeman's eyes rolled, as if he was thinking, but Charlotte directly interrupted the other party's thinking: "Mr. Barker, hesitation is a sign of lying, please answer immediately according to the truth!" ”
"Listen...... I heard it, hey, it's not a small sound, it made me noisy at the time. ”
"How many people are arguing, can you hear the woman's cry?"
"I can't remember how many people...... A woman's cry? It seems to be a little, the little couples in the non-commissioned officer school have a conflict, it's normal. It's nice to be young......"
Buck touched his round head and snorted.
"Is the quarrel going east or west of the dormitory?"
"East!" Buck replied categorically.
"Mr. Bart has a good memory, and the maple tree is indeed located on the east side of the dormitory......" Charlotte smiled slightly, and just as Buck breathed a sigh of relief, Charlotte changed her words:
"It's a pity that there were no drunks arguing at all that day, this is what I just fictionalized."
Barker's face turned pale.
Charlotte first deliberately spoke to Fina to increase the authenticity of the fictional event, and then used a quick follow-up question to force Buck to show his feet.
The reason for the use of fast follow-up questions is that psychology has a seven-second rule.
After seven seconds, the suspect's memory association will help him to free himself from the dilemma of answering the question, so once the suspect is compulsorily questioned, he must be limited to seven seconds to answer the question, so as to cut off his association and avoid his quibble.
Buck is a mounted cop after all, and if he doesn't use a quick follow-up, his professional vigilance will soon make him realize that the question is a trap.
"So where the hell did Mr. Buck go that day?"
Buck swallowed: "Okay, I'll admit it, I'm not in the dormitory either, I'm going to have a tryst with the girls of the non-commissioned officer school." ”
"Can you explain the wound on your body?"
Charlotte lifted the other man's sleeve and saw that there were a large number of wounds on his arms that seemed to have been scratched by plant branches.
"In the non-commissioned officer school, the only thing that can cause this kind of wound is the sealed forest garden behind the material warehouse, and it happens to be the closest route from the mounted police dormitory to the material warehouse. Or do you report the name of the girl you had a tryst? ”
"This ......" Buck's face was bloodless, his lips trembling, and he stopped talking.
With a blushing face, Fina ordered the White Rose Knights to take him down.
"I am a member of the Mounted Police, and you have no right to arrest me!" Buck tries to break free.
"We represent the Joint Investigation Team, and naturally we have the authorization of your Mounted Police Corps, and if you confess honestly during the interrogation, you may be spared the pain of flesh and skin."
It was the first time that Charlotte had seen such a cold and bone-chilling killing intent on Fina's face.
The suspect who killed her most beloved predecessor is right in front of her, and it's no wonder that she lost her temper. Although Fina's strength is only the first glimpse of Sequence 8, it should be no problem to deal with Buck, who quickly gave up the struggle and was taken away by Fina.
Charlotte vaguely guessed why Marco of the Mounted Police Regiment was in such a hurry to draw conclusions. Could it be that Marco has vaguely guessed that it was his own subordinates who carried out the case and deliberately covered it up?
Anyway, it looked like the matter was over, and Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, and all she had to do was wait for the outcome of the trial.
At this time, Ilya suddenly tugged at his cuffs.
Charlotte frowned, and spoke to her with her mind: "Miss Elijah, could it be that you have discovered the Phantom Glass Realm again?" ”
"Yes, and this entrance is also improvised, very fragile, Mr. Charlotte, if you want to enter and explore, hurry up."
Charlotte snorted secretly, and after observing the surroundings, he stubbornly approached the warehouse manager and asked:
"Excuse me, is there a bathroom in the warehouse?"
The White Rose Knights whispered around them:
"See, it's coming and it's coming again, Miss Maid hinted to Mr. Charlotte."
"Well, I just solved such a tricky case, and it's understandable to release my body and mind a little."
"But I was released in the bathroom of the training building yesterday, and I heard that the maid spent the night in Mr. Charlotte's dormitory on the night of admission, and it was only three o'clock in the morning today, and she is coming again?"
They looked at the two Charlottes with all kinds of envy, jealousy, sighs, and other complicated eyes.
The management officer scratched his head embarrassedly: "Sorry, there are no bathrooms in the warehouse......"
But when he heard the conversation of the knights just now, he enthusiastically suggested:
"However, if you are in a hurry, there is a spacious washing room, which is a place to deal with the washing of monsters' bodies, and there are many restraints such as rings, openwork beds, and leg chairs......"
"Yes, too."
Charlotte calmly pulled Ilya into the washing room, and then slammed the iron door shut.
Upon entering, Charlotte looked around and found two lumps of iron in the corner of the room, which he tied to two rings hanging in the air, and then pushed them.
Soon, the iron began to shake back and forth regularly.
Squeak ~ Squeak ~ Squeak ~
The sound of the rings swaying was heard outside the room, and the knights gave each other a "you know" look, and the female knights were already covering their faces in shame, but still pricked up their ears to listen.
"Mr. Charlotte, what are you doing here?" Ilya tilted her little head.
"Oh, it's just a little trick to keep people from suspecting who we are, it doesn't matter."
Charlotte coughed dryly, urging Ilya to quickly summon the entrance to the Phantom Glass Realm.
Ilya raised her fingertips, and a red swirl of light quickly appeared in front of her, and the two of them rushed in.
……
After the familiar flush toilet-like dizziness, the two regained consciousness.
When Charlotte stood up, she found that they were in the same secret realm as the Bloodclaw Frost Wolf had been in before, because not far behind them was the circular platform where they had fought against the Frost Wolf before, but it was now completely collapsed.
Their current starting point is located due north of the Rotunda.
