hall
Everyone gathered here, surrounding a long table covered with a white cloth in the middle. The thing hidden under the cloth on the table was clearly a person.
And it was the body of the previous owner of this mansion.
Now it is time to dig it out not only for autopsy, but also to use necromancy to try to call back its soul with magicians gathered here...
"...How about it?"
"No...still no response..."
"It seems that something must be interfering with the necromancy."
"...So this is man-made?"
"I'm afraid so."
"In that case, please allow me to follow the usual practice of investigating the criminal, who is the biggest beneficiary of this incident..."
Huaye pushed his glasses lightly, and his eyes through the lenses were fixed on Wells, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"How could that be! If the young master was the criminal, why would he go to the Clock Tower to invite the Lord?"
"Maybe it's to prove his innocence."
Shizijie was the first to express dissatisfaction with Huaye's statement, but no matter how much he argued, there was no doubt that the final decision was not here.
The one who can really convince the other party...
"The murderer was not Wells, but someone else."
Weber said with certainty.
Huaye's gaze immediately shifted to the other party. After staring at him for a long time, he waved his sleeves, and a white snake suddenly appeared, then tied up Wells next to him.
"?"
"It seems that the Lord has already figured it out. In that case, let me see the detective's reasoning... But until then, Mr. Wells must stay within my sight."
"can."
Wells:!
......
afterwards
Weber, Shishi Jie, Gray, and Shinji, who had not participated just now, came to a conference room together. Some of them were sitting and some were standing, looking at each other, intending to discuss the next countermeasures.
"This is really troublesome."
"really..."
Weber lit a cigarette and smoked it while thinking.
He had just gotten some clues from Wells's fairy eyes, but they were cut off at this moment, and Lion Jie on the side was even more helpless.
"This is really troublesome. Even if I am sure that the young master is not the murderer, the lady will not let him go easily without evidence."
"Evidence?"
Waver glanced around the room, his eyes finally landing on Shinji, who was trying to talk to Gray.
"Shinji... I remember you were very sure that Wells was not the murderer. So how did you get that conclusion?"
"Ah? What... Oh, you mean that..."
Shinji was stunned when he heard Waver suddenly call him, and for a moment he almost couldn't react to what the other person was saying.
"What? There are things that a famous detective doesn't know? This is really strange!"
"...I'm not a god. How can I be omniscient and omnipotent? Besides, now is not the time to talk about this!"
"All right..."
Shinji spread his hands helplessly, then put on a thoughtful look:
"In fact, I don't have any solid evidence, but I am sure that guy is not the murderer, and even all of us, are not the murderer."
"why is that?"
"Because of malice."
"...Malice?"
Hearing this word, everyone except Shinji was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
"That's right. Whether it's a human or a creature, when they show their violent side, all kinds of negative emotions will be attached to them."
"For example, if you kill someone, whether it's intentional or accidental, you'll be tainted with murderous intent, fear and other emotions, and I can accurately sense this malicious aura, and Wells..."
At this point, Shinji's face suddenly changed and he became speechless.
"Don't even mention the murderous intent of that guy. He's just a fool... He has such a pure soul. Except for Gray, no one here can compare to him. How could such a person be the murderer of his father?"
"Eh! Me?"
When Gray heard Shinji mention her, she exclaimed in surprise. Then, seeing that everyone was looking at her, she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head, pulling her hood down at the same time.
Weber saw Gray's reaction and shook his head helplessly.
"...I see. I didn't expect you to have this ability...But now we can only look for new clues. So, Mr. Lion Jie, could you please join us and help us?"
"...Humph, I want a reward."
"Just don't go too far. I don't have that much money."
"Hahaha! In that case, then... give me one of those."
"that?"
Weber looked at the direction of Lion Jie's finger in confusion, and finally his finger landed on the cigar in his hand.
“…Is that so?”
After knowing what the other party meant, he took out another one from his body without hesitation, put it on the table and slashed it towards the other party.
On the other side, as soon as the lion got the cigarette, he immediately showed a somewhat ferocious smile:
"So, deal's done."
