CHAPTER XVI
"Let's go check it out!" Miss Genius reacted before I did, grabbing my arm and running inside.
Suddenly, Miss Genius stopped, she stood at the door of the prison, bowed her head, and sighed.
I looked inside, and Mr. Tom had a big hole in his head, and he was bleeding.
"It's a musket! A smell of gunsmoke. In other words, the person who smells of gunpowder on his body is the murderer. I reasoned as I looked at Miss Kit.
"No, I already know who the killer is. It's the messenger of the crow, the one who is not sure if it exists. You see, he holds a crow's badge in his hand, which may be a sign before he dies. MISS KIT SHOOK HER HEAD, OBVIOUSLY EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME, "WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO GAIN, BUT I BELIEVE I CAN SOLVE THIS CASE." ”
"There's still a lot to gain." I smiled.
Indeed, there is still a lot to gain.
We went to the villa where Miss Chris lived before her death to look for clues, and I knew that Miss Chris must have some other information about my childhood than that photo.
I don't really remember much about my childhood. I just remember when I was a kid I had older sisters and they were very beautiful. She would hold me in her arms and sing lullabies. Later, I was abandoned and studied with Miss Genius.
I don't really know my birthday, and I'm not sure if I have any relatives in this world. I can't find my sister anymore. It's fair to say that Miss Kit is my only safe haven anymore, and I'm scared of losing her again.
However, I must have some relationship with the messenger of the crow. No matter what... No matter what...
"We're here." Miss Genius pulled me out of the carriage.
"What do we do, how can we find more leads?" I asked her.
"I think let's go interview the maids first and ask them if they know about the two maids with strange hair." It's rare that Miss KIT didn't tease me.
"That's right. Then let's go our separate ways, and we won't have to fear the crow's messengers in the manor. You're in charge of asking those people, and I'm in charge..."Before I could finish speaking, Miss KIT spoke first.
"No, we have to do it together! For safety reasons. She shook her head and said firmly.
"Okay!"
We questioned nearly 50 maids, and they all said they didn't know each other, and then we went to ask the butler, who said that there were no two of them.
I felt amazing, that... Who are those two people, and where are they going to move Miss Chris's body?
"I figured it out!" Miss Genius shouted, "What the hell do you mean those two people who exist in reality!" ”
"Who is it?" I was puzzled.
According to the different titles of those two people, one is "Master Alerney" and the other is "Miss Kayla", indicating that there is a huge difference in status. Therefore, by the order in which the two maids with strange hair colors left, it was discovered that the purple-haired one was "Lord Aleni" and the blue-haired one was "Miss Kayla"! Miss Kit analyzed it with relish.
"So it's like this! It's getting late, and I don't think it's safe to go back now, or we'll stay here for the night! I proposed.
“OK! Ask the housekeeper to prepare two bottles of absinthe, and a safe and clean room. MISS KIT MADE AN OK GESTURE.
"Okay. Let's rest early today, and we'll continue to solve the case tomorrow morning! ”
