Mir and Cyril stayed at Gaynor's house until midnight and then left.

Before leaving, Mir repeatedly instructed Waldrue to just keep an eye on the house opposite, and not to arrest anyone he saw, so as not to startle the snake.

Mir relayed it to Gano and told him to look at Waldru, and if Waldrux did not listen to his orders and took matters into his own hands, he could let Gayno get him drunk until dawn.

After saying goodbye to Gaynor, Mill was about to take the carriage back to the New Orleans Hotel when Mill spotted Marcos in front of him.

He told Cyril to wait here for a while, or to take him out of sight of the Gaenor house for a while.

Cyril asked curiously, "Mr. Detective Edward, are you going to do something?" Please, could that person be the real murderer? ”

"Cyril, don't inquire about this matter first, obediently wait for me in a place, and when I come back, I will naturally tell you the reason." With that, Mill quickly walked over to Marcos.

Cyril stared blankly at Mir's back, pondering Mir's plan for a while, he thought that Mir could never be the murderer, so why did he meet that guy.

Then he stopped thinking nonsense, and drove the carriage to the road ahead as Mir had requested, waiting for Mir to return.

In the darkness, Milmai hurried towards Marcos, much to Marcos' surprise.

Mill leaned over Marcos and asked directly, "Why are you only here now?" ”

"I'm sorry, sir." Marcos looked around and whispered, "I just asked Laura." ”

"Oh, yes, I thought you weren't coming." Mir didn't go on to blame: "The plan has changed for the time being. ”

"What? Am I not going in? Marcos said, gesturing to the house.

"It's not." Mir shook his head and said, "Your plan is going on as usual, but a few things have changed temporarily. ”

"Sir, please speak."

Mir touched his arms, and then he took out a Scher scimitar: "You take this, I originally asked you to come to me tomorrow morning to get it, and I will give it to you now." ”

Marcos took the knife and stroked the blade and hilt: "Osman Scherschel's scimitar?" ”

"Yes, there are three kinds of this kind of knife, no matter which three are there, the curvature of the scimitar is basically not much different, only the position design of the handle is slightly different." Mill explained, "I got it from Inspector Louie, it's a new knife, and I'm trying to make it a little older." ”

"Also, you're going to ask your boss for leave tomorrow morning."

Marcos was surprised and asked, "Huh?" Why? ”

"You're the murderer from now on, so you can't show up tomorrow." Mir leaned in and said, "Don't show up all day and all night tomorrow, tonight yours have to think of your escape route, I will send someone to arrest you, you better find a hidden place, you only need to hide for a day." ”

"By the way, you didn't tell Laura about this, did you?"

Marcos immediately replied, "No, sir, don't you believe me?" ”

"It's not that I don't believe you, I don't believe Laura, I'm afraid that you won't be able to resist all kinds of temptations and say things you shouldn't say, I hope you can understand me, Marcos."

"Sir, you know, I'm always trying to get out of her, even the New Orleans Inn, and I'm tired of everything here."

Marcos had to tell the truth, he wanted to make Mir trust him from now on, and since he had agreed to join the detective team, he wanted to say these things in his heart for a long time.

"Yes, I understand, or you wouldn't have chosen to join us." Mir simply comforted Marcos, who felt that Marcos's mood was very unstable: "Don't worry, when the murderer is caught tomorrow, we will go find a place to spend a vacation, in order to celebrate the victory." ”

"Thank you, sir, I'll follow your orders."

"I need to create some public opinion tomorrow morning, and you have to run away before I can do it."

Marcos looked at Mir and asked, "Sir, what time is it?" ”

"Eight o'clock in the morning, on time." Mill told him how Marcos could leave the house: "Jumping from the window of the upstairs storage room before eight o'clock will allow you to get out and run out as early as possible to avoid being seen." ”

Marcos nodded and said, "Okay, sir." ”

Mir raised his arm and pointed to the house diagonally opposite him and said, "At this time, there is a man from the police station inside, who is watching you here, and I asked him to come." ”

Marcos followed the direction of Mill's finger and looked: "Spying on me? ”

"Yes, don't worry, I've already explained to him, he won't act on his own, you can stay in the house with confidence." Mir had to tell Marcos about it, and he changed his trick and said, "It's also to better protect your safety." ”

Marcos probably understood Mir's intentions: "Sir, he refers to you as the most critical witness in creating public opinion, right?" ”

Marcos's words surprised Mir, who didn't expect Marcos to be so smart.

"That's right." Mir smiled: "Tomorrow he will correct you, and he will send someone to arrest you, remember my words, don't show up for 24 hours tomorrow." ”

"Now there's one more thing."

"Sir, you command."

"I told you to tell me tomorrow morning about the rooms where Tabit lived, so you don't have to tell me." Mill said.

"I've found it, and that's what I was about to say." Marcos was surprised.

"It doesn't matter." Mill waved his hand and said, "I have found a new person who can appear in the place of the victim." ”

Mill continued: "His identity can better attract the attention of the murderer, and I am sure that the real murderer will appear tomorrow." ”

"While creating public opinion, his identity will also be leaked out at the same time, and we will do our best to arrest him tomorrow."

Marcos's hanging heart finally let go, and he was still worried all the time, what should he do if his identity really confirmed the identity of the murderer, if things don't go well tomorrow, even if the chief comes forward to clarify, he is very aware of the methods commonly used in the French police station to extract confessions.

"Yes, sir." Marcos asked tentatively, "Can I know who he is?" ”

"You know this man, Cyril Stuart." Mill replied.

"Oh, no, how could it be him? I don't understand sir. Marcos said excitedly, "Sir, Cyril is Laura's man, and you seem to have been deceived by him." ”

"I know, it's just that he's going to atone for his sins, and I need the right person." Mir glanced behind him, and he chose to cling to Marcos' ear and said, "We're just using each other, and I've never believed what he says." ”
