"What?" Arthur was still thinking hard about the time.
"Matt." Linn called Matt who was guarding the stairs, whispered a few words to him, and then Matt left the second floor with some reluctance.
"What do you know?" Arthur asked.
Linn was not in a hurry anymore and looked at Calvin Dean calmly: "You will soon understand that there is still a final step of verification."
After a while, Matt came back and told what Lynn asked him to investigate: "There is no clock in the single room on the third floor, but there is one hanging on the wall in the hall."
"What about the two ladies who played cards with the Buzzell brothers earlier? Were they wearing watches?" Lynn was always observing Dean's reaction. As expected, when the two ladies were mentioned, Dean, who had always been calm,
Well, I felt a little moved.
"No." Matt shook his head.
"Arthur, you stayed in the private room for three or four minutes. Did you notice who was wearing a watch?" When Lin went to the private room, his attention was focused on observing the environment and people, and the watch happened to be ignored by him.
Although Matt reported back that there was no clock in the single room and the two women did not have watches, it cannot be ruled out that the two women were originally wearing watches and hid the watches within just enough time.
"This...I didn't pay attention either." Arthur understood Linn's thoughts, "Do you suspect that the two women colluded with Dean and deliberately let the Bazell brothers go downstairs at that time? This can explain Dean
How to control time perfectly?”
Lin En nodded slightly: "Yes. The mission did not say that there is only one murderer. We may have fallen into a misunderstanding."
"But didn't your brother say that they didn't have watches? We were all watching outside at that time, and no one of them opened the door to the single room and came out to look at the clock in the hall. You can't always rely on mental calculations, right?" Arthur felt that Lin Enxin
The idea that was developed was blocked again.
No trace of the watch was found, which made Lin slightly shaken in his conclusion.
However, recalling Dean's unnatural expression when he mentioned the two ladies, he still strengthened his determination to break the situation from this aspect: "Matt, go see if Brother Bazzell is wearing a watch."
"I..." Matt was a little disgusted by the two murdered corpses, but in the end he did not refuse Linn's request, "I know."
Ten seconds later, Matt came back quickly and said exciting news: "Bazel Burton wears a watch."
Done!
Dean can check the time with the help of the clock in the restaurant on the second floor!
The lady who played cards with the Buzzell brothers could also check the time from the watch Burton wore!
The reasoning is established!
"Arthur, you can let everyone else leave, just keep Dean." Linn said.
When Arthur heard that Bazel Burton was wearing a watch, he also saw hope, but he was still a little unsure about Lynn's bold move: "Are you sure?"
Linn thought briefly: "Let them all go to the third floor first, and then bring the two ladies over."
"I hope you're right." Arthur chose to do so.
A few minutes later, everyone on the second floor was rushed to the third floor, and the two ladies who had been standing at the stairs of the third floor watching were brought over.
For a time, except for Matt who was still guarding the stairs, there were only two ladies left on the second floor, Lynn, Arthur, and Dean.
The two ladies looked quite frightened and were far away from Lynn, Arthur, and Dean.
Dean, on the other hand, deliberately avoided the two ladies and stared at Linn, as if he was about to rush over in the next second.
Arthur noticed the tension in the atmosphere and stood slightly in front of Linn, holding a gun in one hand and a knife in the other.
"Arthur, lend me the gun." Linn said behind him.
This time Arthur gave it quite happily and did not ask what Linn was doing with the gun.
Linn asked for a pistol from Arthur. While playing with it, he looked at the two pretty ladies and asked, "What are your names?"
"Bev."
"Dina."
The two said timidly.
"Do you know this man named Calvin Dean? I suggest you answer this question carefully." Lynn asked word by word.
"I don't know, I've never seen him before." Bev answered simply.
"I don't know him either..." Dinah half lowered her head.
Seeing that no one acknowledged it, Linn deliberately raised his gun and pointed it at Dean, pretending to kill him immediately: "Since no one knows him, goodbye, Dean."
"No!!" As soon as Linn finished speaking, Dinah stood in front of Dean regardless of what happened. Tears burst into her eyes immediately, and she begged with tears in her eyes, "Please don't hurt him, everything is-"
"Dina!" Dean stopped Dinah and didn't let her say the second half of her sentence.
"Ms. Bev, you can go up to the third floor first." Linn made a gesture of invitation to another confused lady.
"Okay! I didn't see anything!" Bev quickly picked up her skirt and left the restaurant, escaping back to the third floor as if she was running for her life.
"It's done." The murderer surfaced, and Linn returned the gun to Arthur.
Arthur took the gun and looked at Dean, Dinah: "I really didn't expect..."
"Now that things have happened, there's no need to hide it anymore, right? What's your relationship?" Lin En basically understood the process of committing the crime, but he was still very curious about the reasons why the two did what they did.
"He is...he is my brother..." Dinah choked.
"What do you want?" Dean pulled Dinah behind him, took off his disguise, and revealed a fierce look.
"Don't worry, I just want to know who the murderer is. It has nothing to do with me whether he wants to be brought to justice." Lin En kept the requirements of the mission in mind and did not intend to cause trouble, not to mention his physical condition. He wanted to be able to kill Ba easily.
It was a dream to capture Dean from Brother Zell.
"If you admit it, I can turn a blind eye." Arthur followed suit.
The cautious Dean did not believe it easily: "So what if she is my sister? What does it mean? Do you have evidence to prove that I killed the Bazell brothers?"
Lin En pushed the wheelchair forward by himself: "Since you refuse to tell me, I will boldly tell you what I guess happened."
"Huh." Dean scoffed.
"Brother Bazeer hurt your sister, and you held a grudge, so you decided to join forces with your sister to retaliate against each other." Linn said slowly, "But it is not easy to kill the Bazell brothers. Once you come to this building, there are almost no people in the building.
You are all his people, and even if you succeed, you will either be arrested or become a wanted criminal. Therefore, in order to successfully complete your revenge and ensure the safety of yourself and your sister, you have formulated a fairly thorough plan."
Dean swallowed subconsciously.
"First of all, you chose to do it on Christmas Eve. Because there will be a lot of guests on this day, the people around the Bazell brothers will be too busy to follow them, which makes it easier for you to commit the murder. After you kill everyone
, he can also blend into the crowd, and even if he cannot follow the crowd to leave, he can still use the large number of mixed people gathered in the tavern as his cover."
"It makes sense." Arthur also listened carefully.
"After that, you and your sister made an appointment for the specific time to commit the murder. One was on the third floor to accompany the Barzel brothers, and the other was on the second floor waiting for the opportunity." Lin En said, "When the time was approaching, you deliberately ordered a meal.
The purpose of ordering food was not only to prove that you did not have time to commit the crime, but also to steal the murder weapon from the kitchen. After that, you hurriedly ate half of the meal, and at the right time, you took a knife and ambush your sister at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.
You also started to urge the Bazell brothers to go downstairs on the third floor. Soon, even less than a minute passed, you saw the Bazell brothers appear at the stairs. They didn't notice you at all, and you took advantage of them.
, used the fruit knife stolen from the kitchen to kill them very smoothly, then returned to the restaurant as quickly as possible, threw the fruit knife back to the kitchen, and framed everything on the drunk chef, while he
I sat back at the dining table and continued eating."
