Morishhiro was frightened by Han Daring's repeated bluffs, and did not tell the truth about his entanglements with George Brown, and in order to protect himself, he also explained some of the circumstances after he witnessed the murder. It turned out that the Countess's waitress with a scar on her face had followed everyone up to the second floor when George Brown was screaming.

Han Daring speculated that this waitress was most likely the figure behind Yan Zhiyi who was faintly felt when he followed everyone into George Brown's room. Martin also felt that the lady-in-waiting might have something to do with the murder, so he immediately went to the countess's room.

The Countess was lying on her side on the sofa and was drowsy, and she had drunk a lot of wine tonight, but it seemed that this lonely old woman drank a lot of wine every day, because according to the amount of alcohol she had drunk tonight, if she had let ordinary people go, she would have been drunk and unconscious, but she was only a little dazed and sleepy, and that's all.

The Countess said that she had asked the maid to pour the wine, but she was in a daze, and she did not know how long the maid had been there. Martin asked the two policemen guarding the hall on the first floor, among them the tall and thin policeman Matt, who said that he had just gone to the toilet, and Walter, the short policeman, saw the waitress just come out of the countess room, stayed in the corridor for a while, and said that he was going to pour wine and went to the kitchen. Walter just looked down and lit a cigarette, and when he looked up again, the waitress disappeared, and he didn't know whether he ran to the kitchen or went up to the second floor.

Martin was very upset when he saw Walter still holding a cigarette in his hand, snatched the unfinished cigarette butt and threw it on the ground, and then reprimanded Walter and Matt to cancel their entire year of vacation. Han Dadaer thought to herself, they all said that the British are old-fashioned and rigorous, and it seems that they are the same as You Fei, they are all old fritters who like to be lazy and desert.

Han Daring and Martin feel that things are not good at the same time, and in order to prevent this key clue to solve the case from slipping away, Martin decides to search the entire Red Keep. Although there are more than a dozen police officers in the Red Fort, according to the current situation, most of the guests are in the lounge, and almost every room is guarded by police, so there are not many people who can search the Red Fort.

There were only three or four policemen in the hallway, and the two people near the stairs were still deserting just now, and they didn't even notice whether the waitress went upstairs or to the kitchen. Now we can only scatter the few people we have and search for the Red Keep together.

Although Martin despised the Chinese police in his bones, through these few hours of contact, he seemed to have an inexplicable sense of trust in Han Daring, so he asked Han Daring and the police downstairs to search on the first floor. He and Mills went up to the second floor and the old policeman Lenny, who was guarding the second floor, to search the second floor together.

The two groups of men split up, and as soon as Martin and Mills ran to the staircase on the second floor, they saw the old policeman Lenny lying on the staircase, a large sword used by a medieval knight, piercing his chest from behind. Martin immediately told Mills to hurry downstairs to call someone, and went to the police car to get the first aid kit. The medicine box contains an adrenal gland extract, which can be used for first aid when a life police officer is injured and his life is in danger.

Mills ran downstairs to inform the others, then quickly ran to the police box parked outside the Red Keep and retrieved the medicine box. But no matter how fast he went, it didn't work. That old policeman, Lenny, has been dead for a long time.

Han Daring was searching on the first floor, and when he heard the news, the guests had already gathered in the hall on the first floor, and he ran up to the second floor to see Martin with a solemn face, holding the body of the old policeman Lenny. The rest of the British police, with the exception of a few guarding the exit, gathered around Lenny's body.

Zhao Jingsheng, Bai Chongwei, Lao Cai, Little Jew, Calperez, Countess, Gao Yunlong and his son, and others all came to the corridor on the second floor.

A Western knight's great sword pierced through Lenny's back, the tip of the sword piercing through his chest. Pierced the location of the heart and lungs. Seeing that this big sword was familiar, Han Daring looked back at the wall of the corridor not far away, and the big sword that was originally hanging upside down on the wall was indeed gone. One of the hooks of the great sword hanging on the wall was crooked, and the other had fallen to the ground. This old policeman was stabbed to death by this big sword!

Mills, the police officer who went to get the medicine box, asked:

"Did the waitress you just say fled to the second floor and was discovered by Lenny, so she killed Lenny with the big sword on the wall?"

Martin shook his head and said:

"Lenny has a gun, he's going to shoot if he's in danger!"

Han Daring looked at the blood stains on the ground, the most blood stains were the hanging place of the big sword, and then as the blood stains fell, it was not far to the location of the floating corpse, which was only a few steps away. The Roman columns and glass display cases where the greatsword hangs have been tilted. Han Daring picked up the hook nail on the ground and looked at the nail hole in the wall.

At this time, Zhao Jingsheng appeared beside Han Da'er, looked at the nail hole together, and then said:

"It looks like the nail came loose and the hanging big sword fell, and the old policeman probably happened to be standing underneath, so he was accidentally punctured, and he struggled to push the display case next to him, and finally walked a few steps and died at the staircase!"

Saying that, Zhao Jingsheng looked at the blood stains on the ground again and said:

"The blood has been dry for a while, and it shouldn't have just died!"

Calperez said again:

"If the big sword accidentally falls and stabs him to death, the tip of the sword should be pierced from above, how can it be the back, this must be murder, it is the waitress who the police just said did it!"

As he spoke, he looked at the countess, who was slightly sober, and when she heard Karl say this, she immediately argued with him, claiming that his squire was a good man, and such a vicious thing as murder could never be done!

Han Dada'er found a cigarette that rolled to the corner of the wall with a trace of blood sticking to the bottom of the hanging position of the big sword, Zhao Jingsheng also saw the cigarette, he picked up the cigarette and said:

"He should have wanted to smoke when the cigarette fell to the ground, and when he bent down to pick up the cigarette, he happened to be stabbed by the falling sword."

At this time, Martin reached out and touched Lenny's body, and found a pack of freshly opened British cigarettes, which were indeed missing. He took the cigarette handed over by Zhao Jingsheng and inserted it into the cigarette case, the length and size were just right. It seems that this is indeed the cigarette that Lenny dropped.

Zhao Jingsheng's speculation is basically reasonable. Calperez also went silent when he saw the cigarette roll inserted into the cigarette case. He didn't want to humiliate himself again, so he kept silent.

Martin says:

"When the big tree in the courtyard caught fire, Mr. Han and I rushed to the fire, and when we turned around, we saw Lenny walking around on the second floor!"

Han Daring nodded and said:

"I saw that the sword on the wall was still hanging in its place! Then there were at least two to three hours between the rush to the fire, the discovery of George Brown's head, and finally the return to the hall until the discovery of the officer's body. Judging by the dried blood, it's been at least two hours! ”

Martin Road:

"It should be the accident that happened to Lenny when he was fighting the fire!"

Everyone present basically agreed with this point of view, and Martin asked Lao Cai to take Mills and a few other police officers to move Lenny's body downstairs first, and temporarily put it in the lounge on the first floor. Martin and Lenny had known each other for many years, and his heart was heavy at the moment, but there was more important things ahead of him.

Martin perked up a little and said:

"The key suspect in that case, the countess's lady-in-waiting, Lenny's accident interrupted the search, and now we must continue to search for the Red Fort to find this person!"

Lao Cai and Mills carried Lenny's corpse downstairs, Han Daring had been silent, and now he was trying to go downstairs with him, looking for an opportunity to take a closer look at Lenny's corpse.

At this moment, George Brown's room suddenly made a noise! It was like something had fallen to the ground. Everyone heard the slight noise. Everyone is concentrated in the corridor on the second floor, and there should be no one in George Brown's room, unless the knight's armor in the basement really moves, and from the basement to the second floor, there is no way to make a strange noise of things falling!

Han Daring was already about to go downstairs, when he heard the noise, he ran directly back to the corridor on the second floor, and walked with Martin to the door of George Brown's room, followed by the little Jew and two policemen.

George Brown's door is a baroque carved double door. Martin stood on the right, pulled out his pistol, handed it to his left hand, and reached out with his right hand to gently push the door on the right. Han Daring stood on the left, leaning sideways and pushing a door on the left with his left hand. Both of them are police officers and have a lot of experience, so they both lean sideways in case there is any danger inside or someone suddenly makes a sneak attack.

Pushing open the door, the reception room was empty, and no one was found under the sofa or behind the curtains. A few people walked into the study again, and Han Daring looked around and found that there was a corner of his clothes exposed under the desk, which was the corner of a Japanese kimono. Han Daring knew in an instant, just now he found out that the old policeman Lenny was dead, many people ran up to the second floor, and the Japanese Morishithiro must have followed, just when everyone's attention was on Lenny, he quietly walked into George Brown's room at the end of the corridor on the other side.

Han Da'er and Martin glanced at each other, and said towards the desk:

"Come out! Don't look for a man, let me do it, but I won't have your good fruit to eat! ”

The figure under the desk shook slightly, as if hesitating whether it should come out.

Han Daring said to Martin:

"He's not coming out! Just shoot! ”

When Morishhiro heard this, he hurriedly exposed his head from under the table, but at the same time, Han Da'er and the others suddenly jumped behind him. The rooms in the Red Fort are very high, this person just supported himself with his hands and feet, and on the corner of the top of the cabinet, when he heard Han Da'er's words, he thought he was talking about him, so he jumped down from the corner of the wall!

This person moved extremely fast, and when Han Daring and the others found someone behind him, and when he turned around again, he had already quickly pulled out the matching gun on the British policeman Jack and pressed it against the little Jew's head! He was very clever and knew that the police were well-trained and it was very dangerous to hold them hostage, so he chose the little Jew who came in with him as a hostage!

The man whispered:

"Don't move! Otherwise, I'll kill you! ”

The light in the study was not bright, and the man was afraid that Martin would shoot him, so he hid behind the little Jew, put a gun to the back of the little Jew's head, pulled the little Jew's clothes with one hand, and retreated backwards to the door.

He was shorter than the little Jew, and he could use the little Jew to cover his body, but the two of them retreated, their bodies swayed, and when they retreated to the living room, the lights were much brighter, and from the shaking figure, Han Daring still recognized at a glance that this person had long hair and a scar on his face, and it was none other than the Countess's maidess!
