Ezreal walked up to Caitlin and handed her the roses in his arms.
"Thank you." Caitlin was stunned, took the bouquet of roses with a smile, and put them in the empty vase behind her desk.
This scene caught the attention of all the nobles and elites, and they immediately showed a fierce look on their faces.
It's not like they never gave Caitlin flowers, gifts, and small things, but Caitlin had never accepted their feelings. Now Caitlin has accepted Ezreal's flowers, which made several noble officials start to worry.
.
For Caitlin, she didn't think too much. As Ezreal's good friend, she was the best able to feel the changes in Ezreal before and after his amnesia. She felt that Ezreal became more interesting after his amnesia.
, I didn’t feel any rejection towards him, so I accepted his flowers.
"Who did I think it was? Isn't this our great adventurer Ezreal?" Finally, a police officer named Bliss recognized Ezreal, and then the other noble officers remembered
, Caitlin has a friend who has been playing since childhood, and is Pitwolf's chief adventurer Ezreal.
Bliss walked up to Ezreal and patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically: "Why would a great adventurer come to the police station instead of doing archeology? We don't have scraps here."
Bliss's tone sounded extremely passionate, his words indeed contained sarcasm, and his eyes shot a provocative light at Ezreal.
Ezreal was unmoved and said quietly: "Aunt Eve asked me to come here to accompany Caitlin."
Ezreal looked like he was trying to pick up girls, and he immediately pinched the seven inches of all the nobles. Who knew that Eve was Caitlin's mother. As soon as Ezreal said this, everyone's eyes changed instantly.
I was thinking: "Did this guy take the first step and get Mrs. Philip's approval? Damn it!"
Although Caitlin was a little confused, she didn't think much about it. She said to Ezreal: "Since you're here, it's okay to sit down. But now I don't have time to accompany you. A major case happened in the city yesterday. Now
The suspect has not been identified yet, and we are discussing the case."
"Oh, then I'll just listen here. You continue, I won't disturb you." Ezreal smiled slightly, showing the look of a well-behaved child.
Caitlin nodded. Even if Billis and others had opinions, they were too embarrassed to raise them. However, Caitlin's friend Wei gave Ezreal a meaningful look.
"I think Mary and Deron are the most suspect." As soon as Billis said this, all the officers present immediately fell into a tense discussion mode.
"But they all have alibis."
"We don't rule out the possibility of hiring a murderer. It's too easy to forge an alibi." For a while, the police officers had different opinions, and no one could convince anyone.
Ezreal listened for a while and heard the general content of the case.
It turns out that Mr. Ford, who lives in the south of the city, is the president of a chamber of commerce, mainly engaged in the shoe business in Pitover. His chamber of commerce is large in scale and has trade relations with other city-states, and his family property is quite impressive.
A few days ago, Manus, the vice president of the Ford Chamber of Commerce, and Ford's wife Mary came to the police station to report that Ford was missing.
Just yesterday, Ford's body was discovered in a small forest further away. The body was buried in a pile of sand and was discovered by a local farmer.
Caitlin Inquiry immediately took over the case and launched an investigation. After investigating and collecting evidence, they discovered that Ford's wife Mary had an affair with a young aristocrat named Delong who was a neighbor. Ford beat her severely when he learned that his wife was cheating on her.
They had a meal and threatened to make Delong a good-looking young man. Unexpectedly, Ford died tragically in the suburbs a few days later.
Based on the circumstances of this case, Lady Mary and the nobleman Delon are the most suspected.
So Caitlin took Mary and Delma into prison for interrogation, but she could not find evidence to prove that they were the murderers because both of them had alibi.
According to Ford's daughter Bella, Ford planned to go to the neighboring city-state Freljord for trade on the day he disappeared. Ford went out to find his vice president Manus early that morning, but Manus was at home.
I waited and waited but didn't see Ford. I thought Ford was sleeping.
It was too much, so they took the carriage to the yard of Ford's house and asked Ford to go on the road, but Mrs. Mary told Ford that he had already left. Manus and Mary could not find any trace of Ford, and after being delayed for a long time, they finally chose
Reported the case to the police at night.
Now, all the police officers believe that Lady Mary and the nobleman Delon are the most suspects. However, due to the lack of concrete evidence and long discussions with no results, Caitlin decided to find a breakthrough through Ford's daughter Bella.
As a bystander, Ezreal didn't say much. He stood quietly in the corner and watched the whole process.
"Bella, are you sure your father went out at five o'clock in the morning?" Caitlin asked Ford's 11-year-old daughter Bella in the interrogation room.
"Yes, Captain Caitlin. My father hurried out of the house around five o'clock, and many maids saw it. It was convenient for me to get up at that time. After seeing my father go out, I ran to my mother's room and slept with my mother in my arms until the morning.
Nine o'clock."
"What did your mother do all day?" Caitlin asked again.
Bella said: "Mother stayed at home all day and didn't go anywhere."
Caitlin nodded, told Bella to go home and was about to leave. Bella grabbed Caitlin's hand and said with a tearful voice: "Chief Caitlin, my mother will never be a murderer."
, please believe me."
Caitlin turned around and saw that the little girl's eyes were full of tears, with panic and despair in her eyes. The fear-covered look inspired a woman's unique maternal brilliance. She gently stroked Bella's head and spoke softly.
Said: "Little Bella, don't worry, I will definitely catch the real murderer."
Caitlin spoke very skillfully, and Bella thought that Caitlin believed her. She smiled and wiped away her tears, said goodbye to all the police officers and returned home.
Caitlin watched Bella's thin back leave, but her head started racing.
According to the autopsy report, Mr. Ford died on the day he disappeared, within 12 hours after he left home. However, the most suspected ones, Mrs. Mary and Delong, both have alibis, and Bella is Mrs. Mary's alibi.
.
Her intuition told her that Bella shouldn't lie. After all, children have a lot of holes in lying, and they can easily find loopholes in their language. And Deron also had an alibi. He spent the whole day in the gambling house that day, and many gamblers
All the gangsters could prove to him that he did not have time to kill Ford. The case was temporarily at a deadlock. Of course, it is not ruled out that Delong hired a murderer to kill, and then pretended to be relaxed and stayed in the casino for a whole day to create an alibi.
However, it is worth noting that according to Mrs. Mary, Ford took a large amount of gold coins with him before leaving home, which were transaction fees for trade with the city-state of Freljord. However, the police officers did not find the whereabouts of these gold coins on the bodies. Than
Liss pointed out: "Sir Caitlin, I don't rule out the possibility of killing people and taking wealth. After all, Ford was carrying a large amount of gold coins on his person at the time, and the sky was dark, so he might have encountered gangsters who were jealous of wealth on the way."
Caitlin nodded: "What you said makes sense."
After receiving Caitlin's approval, Bliss cast a demonstrative look at Ezreal, as if to say: "So what if you're here to pick up girls, you're far behind compared to me."
Ezreal thought it was a bit funny. The love scene is really a battlefield, and rivals in love are bound to fight to the death. Ezreal is not such an easy person to offend. Since the other party provoked him, how could he just laugh it off.
Ezreal shook his head: "I don't agree with Bliss's view."
"Oh? What do you think? Great adventurer?" Bliss raised his eyebrows and looked at Ezreal with a burning gaze.
"Yes, great adventurer, I wonder what you have to say?" Some other officers shouted. Although these officers usually fight to the death secretly, the appearance of their biggest enemy Ezreal has made these officers laugh.
In the past day, my love rival and my enemy became angry.
Under the booing, even Caitlin and Vi looked towards Ezreal, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Ezreal still shook his head: "If it was really for money, then the murderer's first reaction after killing Mr. Ford and grabbing the gold coins would definitely be to run away. Having just killed someone, he would naturally be extremely nervous, as most people would.
If you choose to run away right away, how can you have the thought to drag the body to the woods outside Pitover and bury it? So I am sure that this is definitely a premeditated murder!"
