From Birune's corpse, Mary draws two important clues.

One is the approximate time of Birun's death.

The second is the fake phone call that Gunner received.

Birune was dead long before he spoke to Gunner, so how did Birune, who was already a dead man at the time, make this call?

Mary was curious.

She took a closer look at Birun's body.

He looked pained, and there were a lot of scratches on his neck, as well as strangulation marks from the rope......

Well?

Suddenly, Mary tilted her head to look at the strangulation mark again, and suddenly nodded slightly.

It was her negligence before, and there was something wrong with this strangulation mark.

The strangulation marks are under the throat of Birune's neck, and go relatively horizontally, which is not the strangulation marks left by a hanged person.

Because if it is a person who hangs himself, the strangulation marks are often in the throat upwards, and the direction should also show an upward trend.

This means that Birune was not hanged, he had been strangled with a rope long before he was hung outside the tower.

Judging from this strangulation mark, the murderer should have strangled Biruen to death with a rope behind him.

Interesting, strangled people and then hung their bodies outside the tower? How did the murderer hide it from everyone and not worry about being noticed by the people in the annex? Could it be that the murderer was in the dungeon at the time?

Suddenly, Mary remembered the electric car she had seen earlier in the staircase hallway with scratches on the metal trim ring.

After closing her eyes and thinking about it, Mary suddenly lifted Birune's jacket and glanced at the belt around his waist.

If that's the case, then Birune's belt should be the most likely place.

And the fact is indeed as Mary expected, on the back side of the Birune belt, there are also very obvious scratches and damage, as if some thin thread has been tightened and rubbed in this area.

What's even stranger is that there are some black and red stains on Birun's shirt near these scratches.

[I see, it's really a bold but flawed technique. 】

At this moment, the murderer's method was completely cracked, and under the thick sunglasses, Mary's eyes looked at one of the people in the watchtower at this moment.

But she didn't debunk it right away, because evidence was still needed.

She stood up and walked over to look at the electric light inside the watchtower, and on the metal ring of the lamp, she saw similar thin wire scratches.

She then walked out of the watchtower and down the staircase, discovering that the metal ring of the electric light on one side of the way had similar thin wire scratches, which was completely consistent with her assumptions.

As for the piece of metal that she stepped on before, Mary picked it up and took a look at it this time, and found that on the outside of this piece, there were also some black-red stains that looked like liquids had solidified.

[This is one of the important physical evidences. 】

Carefully putting away the shard, Mary continued down until she walked out of the staircase corridor and into the door of the dungeon.

This dungeon castle has been around for a long time, and this gate of its is wooden, and Mary looks at this wooden gate, trying to find something special from above.

In her speculation, this gate is actually the most crucial step for the murderer to complete this series of plans.

Therefore, there must be a mechanism left on it that the murderer has no time to dispose of.

Finally, somewhere on the inside of the gate, above it, Mary saw a nail, a nail that had not been fully driven in.

It's a useless nail, it won't make any sense here, and the only use is to help the murderer complete his trick of disguising the victim.

It stands to reason that from the moment Birun's body was found, the murderer should have recovered the nail.

But unfortunately, the murderer had neither time nor chance, because while forging an alibi for himself, the murderer was forced to act with the crowd, and there was no suitable time for him to recover the nail.

Retracting her gaze, Mary walked out the door.

There was a small river outside the dungeon castle, and Mary walked along the outside of the castle until she reached the bottom of the watchtower, and a few steps away was the flowing river.

Looking up at the watchtower above, Mary walked along the river's edge in the direction of the river, and after walking a hundred meters, she finally found what she was looking for.

It is a piece of cloth that has been washed to the shore, one meter wide and two meters long, with tiny holes in two of the corners.

One side of the cloth is black, and the other side is a brownish yellow similar to the exterior of the castle.

Mary reached out and scooped up the cloth, pulling out the thin thread that was wrapped around it.

The thread was so strong and so long that Mary had to hold it all the way to the river.

And on the very end of these thin lines, there is also a wooden sign tied to it.

[It's already possible.] 】

Finding this, Mary thinks it is enough, and the next step is to find the murderer.

With these things in hand, she turned back to the dungeon, and walked down the staircase corridor back to the watchtower, where the detectives were still discussing the truth of Birune's death, while Barry, the chief of the kingdom's police, was leaning on his chest with his hands on his chest, watching the scene with cold eyes.

Glancing at Captain Gunner, who was also discussing with the detectives, Mary walked straight to Barry and asked:

"Chief Barry, may I ask the escaped prisoner who was announced on the radio earlier, has the Kingdom Police caught him?"

The translator next to him repeated Mary's words in Andrew's language, and Barry replied, "Rest assured, the police are searching and will be able to capture him soon." ”

"Hmm."

Mary nodded, and Gunner, who was discussing with the detectives, subconsciously glanced at her when he heard her voice.

And this look happened to make him see the piece of cloth and the thin thread in Mary's hand, and the handsome face suddenly showed an extremely shocked expression.

It was at this moment that Mary turned her head to look at him, and the two looked at each other, and behind Mary's sunglasses, Gounner seemed to see her playful eyes.

Why? Why did those things end up in her hands?

"Okay guys, no more talking."

Just as Guenner looked at him in disbelief, Mary suddenly opened her mouth and called out to everyone.

"I've found the killer of Commander Birune."

After the translator repeated the sentence, Barry's only remaining right eye looked at Mary in surprise.

Not only him, but the rest of the detectives and officers in the watchtower also looked at him with the same eyes.

Only Guenner, who seemed to be distracted by the two things in Mary's hand, was extremely nervous.

Without doing anything superfluous, Mary looked directly at Gunner under the gaze of everyone, and said:

"You're the murderer, Captain Goonner."

I'm so sleepy, I'll wait for tomorrow to provoke (『)
