() "Yes, Ezreal is right. The possibility of robbing money and killing people is really very low." Caitlin agreed with Ezreal's view. Indeed, killing people and covering up their corpses seems like a crime no matter how you look at it.
A premeditated murder.
Caitlin couldn't help but look at Ezreal twice. She didn't remember that Ezreal had such keen analytical and judgment skills before. Could this be due to amnesia?
Bliss snorted lightly and said nothing. The deflated expression on his face made Ezreal feel relieved. You are so pretentious.
Now that the possibility of robbery and murder has been ruled out, Caitlin's attention returns to Lady Mary and Delon again.
In order to find clues among the clues, Caitlin interrogated Lady Mary and Delon again.
"What else can I say? I told you that I spent a whole day gambling in the casino in a dark way. Scott, Wynn and other gamblers can prove it to me. After gambling, I went to Paradise to drink heavily.
After a meal, I got drunk, got into a fight with a group of gangsters, and finally played with the alcoholic bunny girl Enri all night. You have asked me dozens of times, what else do you want to ask?"
"I heard that you hooked up with Ford's wife, and Ford threatened to make you look good a few days ago? How do you explain this?" Billis asked aggressively.
"Yes, I admit that I had an affair with Mary. My strength is not comparable to that of the old man Ford. Of course, Mrs. Mary loved me to death. But this cannot be the reason for me to kill Ford. If you insist on saying yes
I killed Ford, please show me the evidence!"
Delong sat on the chair in the interrogation room, looking helplessly at the group of police officers in front of him. After repeated interrogations, there was no clue at all. He had said this argument more than a dozen times, and he was already very tired of it.
Caitlin shook her head when she saw this. There was no breakthrough on Delong's side. Delong was a noble and the arrest warrant had not been approved yet. She could not take people to Delong's house to search for evidence for the time being, so she could only place her hope of opening a breakthrough in
On Lady Mary.
"Ford got up early that day and went out, probably around five o'clock. Not long after Ford went out, Bella went upstairs to sleep with me. I held Bella and slept until about six o'clock when I heard Manus upstairs.
"Mrs. Mary, where is Mr. Ford? Tell him to get up quickly, otherwise the journey will be delayed."
"I also felt strange at the time, so I walked to the window and said to Manus downstairs, 'Ford has gone out to find you. Isn't he with you?'"
"Manus was also very confused at the time. He said he didn't see Ford. Later, we searched for a long time and found no trace of Ford, so we went to the police station to report the case."
Mary sat on a chair in the interrogation room and repeated what happened that morning.
"Was Bella awake or asleep when Manus shouted?" Caitlin asked.
"I'm awake, I was woken up by Manus not long after I fell asleep." Mary's answer was exactly the same. Caitlin shook her head, feeling that she had no clue, and the case was once again at a deadlock.
"Wait a minute, Mrs. Mary, repeat what Manus shouted at that time!"
At this time, Ezreal, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Mary glanced at Ezreal strangely. Although he was not wearing a uniform, she still repeated: "At that time, Manus called Mrs. Mary, where is Mr. Ford? Tell him to get up quickly, otherwise the trip will be delayed.
Already."
Ezreal felt as if the clouds were lifted for a moment, and when he saw everyone's eyes turned towards him, he smiled happily and said to Caitlin: "Caitlin, I know who the murderer is, do you hear it?"
"Really? Who is the murderer?"
Caitlin's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she stared at Ezreal with a pair of expectant beautiful eyes. The other noble officers also stared at Ezreal, subconsciously asking: "Who is the murderer?"
"Manus!"
"How could it be him?" Not only Caitlin, but also Wei and all the police officers looked at Ezreal with puzzled faces, as if they didn't seem to believe that the murderer was Manus.
Ezreal shook his index finger and let it slip: "You will know later. Bring Manus first."
With Caitlin's nod, Billis and several police officers went to summon Manus. Not long after, Vice President Manus, dressed in a suit and ties, came to the interrogation room of the police station.
This guy was quite familiar, and he greeted all the officers enthusiastically. After Manus sat down, Ezreal asked.
"Manus, did you see Ford on the morning he disappeared first?"
"No." Manus shook his head: "Ford told me before that he would come to my house at four o'clock to come to Freljord with me. I got up at four o'clock and waited for Mr. Ford.
, I thought Mr. Ford had overslept, so I went to Mr. Ford’s house to call the door. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mary told me that Mr. Ford had gone out long ago. I felt something was wrong at that time, but I didn’t expect that Ford would actually be harmed.
..." Having said this, Manus sighed softly.
Ezreal curled his lips and asked again: "What were you shouting downstairs at Ford's house?"
Manus was stunned and replied: "At that time, I shouted, 'Mrs. Mary, where is Mr. Ford? Tell him to get up quickly, otherwise the journey will be delayed.'"
"Are you sure?" Ezreal showed a meaningful smile.
"Yes." Manus nodded and affirmed: "My voice was not too quiet at that time. It is estimated that many neighbors around me heard my voice. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate with Mrs. Mary's neighbors."
Ezreal had already come to a conclusion in his mind. He turned around and said to Caitlin with a smile: "Caitlin, the murderer is Manus."
"What, me?" Manus was surprised when he heard this and looked at Ezreal in disbelief.
"How do you conclude that Manus is the murderer?" Wei, Caitlin, Bliss and others all looked at Ezreal in confusion, wondering why he dared to conclude so easily.
"Are you kidding? This police officer, please don't talk nonsense. How could I be the murderer of Ford!" Manus looked at Ezreal angrily. He subconsciously thought that Ezreal was also a police officer.
official.
Ezreal ignored Manus and stared at Caitlin's eyebrows: "This is actually a simple matter of common sense. What he said downstairs showed flaws."
"What's the flaw?" Caitlin asked hurriedly.
"It was still dark at that time. If you called the door in the middle of the night, how could you directly call someone's wife? This is not common sense at all."
As soon as Ezreal said this, Manus's face changed slightly.
"So there is only one possibility, that is, Manus knew that Ford was not at home at all, so he subconsciously called Mrs. Mary. If he had not seen Ford before, how would he know that Ford was not at home?"
"Manus had seen Ford, but he strongly denied it. There is only one reason! Ford was killed by Manus! He denied seeing Manus to cover up the fact that he killed him. After killing Ford, he buried him in the suburbs
, and then pretended to go to Ford's house to find Ford, and finally reported the police together with Mrs. Mary, it was really like catching a thief."
"I..." What Ezreal said made Manus blush, and he quibbled: "I... I just made a slip of the tongue."
"Slip of the tongue? Haha, you went downstairs before dawn and called Mrs. Mary. This is an extremely rude thing. As the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, don't you even understand basic social etiquette?
"
Ezreal's rebuttal made Manus speechless, and he could only lower his head and say nothing.
Ezreal glanced at Wei and said: "Investigate the relationship between Manus and Mr. Ford clearly. After all, they are from a chamber of commerce. You can also find out from those members of the chamber of commerce. This is a premeditated murder.
Then there must be a conflict of interest or contradictory relationship between the two of them."
