"Enough!"

In the king's bedchamber, the royal brother Preben finally lost his patience completely, and he interrupted the entanglement of the butler Ole with a loud roar, and said angrily:

"Ore! Don't mess around with me here, Barry, the highest officer of the kingdom's police, died in the King's castle so unknowingly, and this matter must be explained to our people! The killer must be found! ”

"But ......"

After speaking, Preben didn't give Ou Lei a chance to speak at all, turned to look at Mary behind him, and said directly:

"Detective Mary, I'll leave the rest to you, I'm sure you can find out who killed Barry, and give me and Brother Wang the truth."

"Of course, His Highness Preben."

Mary nodded slightly, smiling.

"Well, then, I'll start with the cause of Chief Barry's death.

Although the first place where the body of Chief Barry was found was in the central courtyard below, in fact, according to our investigation, the actual place where he was killed was actually in the King's bedchamber where we are now. ”

"Hmph." As soon as Mary said this, Preben let out a sneer, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

And Ou Lei, who was standing in front of King Hening's ancient bed, changed his face greatly, and he hurriedly spoke:

"Detective Mary, since the body was found in the central courtyard, then Chief Barry must have been killed there, right? How could it be in His Majesty's bedchamber? Aren't you ......?"

"It can't be in the central courtyard." Mary interrupted him directly, explaining, "Chief Barry's fatal wound was the dagger that pierced his chest on his back.

It is not at all logical that such a fatal penetrating wound did not leave any traces of blood splattering throughout the entire central courtyard, and the blood that should have gushed out after the injury.

Of course, more importantly, Chief Barry also had multiple fractures on his body from a fall from a height.

These few points alone are enough to prove that the central courtyard was not the actual scene of Chief Barry's murder, but that he had been killed elsewhere and then hidden there. ”

"But, however, that doesn't mean that Governor Bali is in His Majesty's ......."

"The reason why it must be in His Majesty's bedchamber is because we have found absolute evidence."

Without entanglement with Oulei, Mary looked at King Heningu, who was sitting on the bed, and asked directly:

"Your Majesty, there should be a carpet in your bedroom, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Ou Lei's pupils shrank suddenly, and Heningu still closed his eyes and recuperated.

"This, this, there is indeed a piece of ......" replied to Ou Lei, his tone stammered, sweat broke out on his forehead, and the expression on his face suddenly became nervous.

"Where is that carpet now?" Mary looked at him and tapped her toes to the floor beneath her feet.

The place she was stepping on now was exactly where the carpet was supposed to be covered.

"Speaking of which, I really didn't see the carpet in Brother Wang's room today...... Ouray, where was that carpet taken? Although he didn't know why, seeing that Auray suddenly became so nervous, Preben echoed Mary.

"That's, the carpet...... Because it's a little dirty, I'll let the maids take care of it this morning......" Under the pressure of Preben, Ole stammered with a fluttering look in his eyes.

"yes, who are the maids? Can Auray Butler tell us? Mary continued to ask, directly forcing the general into a corner.

"No, it's just a rug...... Detective Mary, what do you ask this for? Does this have anything to do with the murder of Chief Barry? ”

"Of course, because Chief Barry died on that carpet, and it's the most important piece of evidence."

Mary's voice fell, she looked at the shocked Ou Lei, and asked, "Steward Ou Lei, that carpet was hidden by you, right?" ”

"Uh-huh......!" was broken by Mary's words, and Ou Lei's face turned pale instantly.

"It was this morning when you brought breakfast to His Majesty that you pushed the body of Chief Barry, who had fallen in the King's bedchamber, down the central courtyard from the window, and then hid the blood-stained carpet in the cart where you delivered breakfast, and quietly took it out of the King's chambers under the cover of the cart.

The carpet has been found in Chief Barry's office, and your delivery of the carpet has been seen by the maid of the Church of Esther who was in the central courtyard at the time.

In the center of the carpet, we also found residual blood, as for whose blood it was, as long as the police tested it a little, it will naturally be clear......"

"No need."

As soon as Mary finished speaking, Ole hung her head, her face gloomy and her expression bitter.

"Detective Mary is right, that carpet is indeed the carpet in His Majesty's bedchamber, and the blood stains on the carpet are indeed the ...... of Chief Barry."

As he said this, he looked up at the people in front of him and smiled.

"That's right, I am the murderer of Chief Bali, and it was when I was delivering a meal to His Majesty this morning that I saw that Chief Bali was again speaking disrespectfully to His Majesty, and I was so angry that I killed him while he did not spare the dagger that His Majesty had placed on his desk.

I was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so I threw his body down the window, cleaned the room of blood, and hid the blood-stained carpet in a small cart and quietly transported it.

That's how the whole thing went...... I thought I could hide it, but I didn't expect to be discovered by Detective Mary, haha......"

Hearing his words, Preben's face immediately sank.

And Heningu, who was originally sitting on the bed without saying a word, also opened his eyes at this time, he looked at Ou Lei who was standing on the side of the bed, with a hint of surprise in his cloudy eyes.

Mary looked at him as well, shook her head slightly, and sighed.

"Ole, you're lying."

"W-What?" Hearing Mary's words, Ou Lei's whole person was stunned.

"You're not the murderer of Chief Barry at all."

Mary's tone was much calmer, and she softly picked out the flaws in Ou Lei's words.

"You said you killed Chief Barry while delivering breakfast, but the truth is that based on Chief Barry's body, he was killed in the middle of the night last night, and there's no chance that you could kill him this morning."

"This, that......" Mary's words were completely beyond Ou Lei's expectations, and his face once again showed extreme panic.

Unlike the previous panic, this time he seemed to be really panicked.

"I—I think I may have misremembered, but I ...... actually."

"Well, you don't have to lie anymore, Chief Barry wasn't killed, he committed suicide."
