Hogwarts Melon Eater

Chapter 233: Detective Anna

The door of the hotel was opened, and Officer Harvey walked in in embarrassment. He glanced at Frank who was sitting at the bar, and said nothing. The policeman who was talking to the witnesses just now came down and handed a small book to Harvey.

Hermione followed the police and walked down the stairs, swiftly running to her friend's side, "I did hear a lot of things when I was with Ms. Lina just now." In my head, I did not use a small notebook to record.

"Ms. Penny, the wife of the boss of Dortmund, first discovered the body when she was walking through the corridor with a teapot, when she heard a quarrel in the Dort room," Hermione rubbed her chin. "By the way, At this time, Ms. Mitty, who was holding Ivan, happened to pass by and heard the voice, and she thought that it was a woman who was in the room with Dot."

"Ms. Penny knocked on the door and asked Dott who was inside, but no one spoke, which made Ms. Penny uncomfortable, and since the door was locked, she went downstairs to the bar and got a spare key Come back and unlock the lock, which probably took a few minutes."

"When she opened the door, she saw Dort's body at first sight and screamed. There was no one else in the room except the body. The window was locked from the inside, and after opening the window, no trace was found. "

This is a case of murder in a secret room, Kudo Anna's eyes are blank.

"Almost everyone has an alibi, but there are a few special ones," Hermione pointed out solemnly, "The first one, Mayor Gray, he was staying with everyone, but suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, It happened to be the time of the incident, but both Mitty and Penny said they heard a woman's voice, so Gray was temporarily ruled out."

"The second is a female staff member, Nana, who was alone in the room to modify the plan. Her room is located on the right side of Mr. Dort's room, and there is a narrow stone platform outside the window passing through Dort's The room window, Nana is petite, maybe she can fit into Dort's room through the window..."

"Does she know Dot?" Anna asked.

"No, this is the first time Ms. Nana has come to Little Hangleton," Hermione added, "but Mr. Dott seems to have said something unpleasant before, which offended Miss Nana and made her a little angry."

Probably not this lady Nana, Anna shook her head, Dot should be familiar with the murderer, because the body was lying on his back on the bed, which means that the murderer attacked him head-on... Wait... If the murderer is a woman, she has such a big The strength to throw down a strong middle-aged man? Is it really a vampire?

"Then let me continue. The third is Ms. Sandy, Mrs. Penny's best friend, and Mr. Dott's friend. They have known each other for a long time. They are childhood sweethearts. They grew up together in Little Hangleton. After the renovation, Sandy temporarily rented a hotel with a fixed room," Hermione paused for a second, "Sandy's room was on the left side of Dort's room, and she said she had been sleeping until she was woken up by screams."

"Everyone who heard the movement and ran out happened to see Sandy come out of the room sleepily, her eyes red and she didn't seem to have slept well," Hermione shrugged, "I think her suspicion is very small, after all, it is such a A slightly emaciated lady, and her window is on the other side, so she can't get to Dort's house."

Sandy... Anna remembers her, the woman she met in the backyard just now, the lady in jeans with dust on her pants, she had a good chat with Penny on the way to the hotel, and she and Dot had a lot in common. The three seemed to be good friends.

"Just those three... oh! And Mrs. Penny! She doesn't actually have an alibi, though she's constantly busy putting fire-fighting sand by the fireplace in every room, or pouring tea, She's been seen in various positions all the time—"

"In fact, she still has time to commit crimes," Hermione shook her head, "but I don't think she would do such a thing. Mrs. Penny was crying and people around her said she had a good relationship with Dort. "

Anna thought for a moment. "Where's Sandy? Did she cry?"

Hermione frowned as she recalled, "Ms. Sandy hugged Penny for a while to comfort her, but when she cried...it didn't seem like she didn't like to show her feelings, but Sandy still looked a little distressed," Hermione added. "She left the room after taking the transcript, saying she was going downstairs to find some drinks."

"We saw her!" Ron and Harry interjected. "She doesn't look very good."

"Although she didn't cry, she was immersed in sadness. She looked away when she saw Frank sitting at the bar, probably because she didn't want to be with the suspect, and she quickly left the door."

"This Sandy...Is there any more information about her?" Anna somehow felt that the woman was suspicious.

"Hmm..." Hermione was silent for a while, rubbing her head, and suddenly a flash of light came, "Oh! This Lady Sandy works in the town's clinic, which Dr. Burns mentioned, but it shouldn't matter. Information…"

Maybe it's time to take a tour of this Sandy lady's room and, albeit impolitely, might find some key evidence...

"I'm going to the toilet," Anna used a universal excuse, and quickly came to Sandy's room door, the door was unlocked, she easily entered the room, the layout here is similar to the Dort room, bed, wardrobe, fireplace , there is no place to hide secrets.

Also searched under the bed and couldn't find any "Sandy's Secret Diary", Ana crouched in front of the fireplace, she remembered seeing Sandy in the backyard with ashes stuck to her jeans, Sandy herself said that the coal The ash was glued in the fireplace in the hall, but according to Ron and Harry's recollection, Sandy herself did not go near the fireplace in the hall, but went straight out the door.

Anna touched every stone that made up the fireplace, but couldn't find any possible secret door. She stuck her head into the fireplace, and she couldn't see anything in the darkness.

"Bangdang," Anna accidentally mentioned the iron bucket on the side when she exited. She quickly helped Tietong up. Fortunately, no sand was scattered because it was empty.

"Huh?" Why is this bucket empty? Anna looked at the fireplace again. The charred wood was not covered with new sand. Where did the sand go?

Anna Ma Dongmei's memory reminded her of Dot's room, where his fireplace had freshly laid sand, and the sand in the wooden barrel next to him was almost full.

It's a bold assumption that the sand from Sandy's room somehow made it to Dort's fireplace.

Anna got back into the fireplace, put on dragonskin gloves and groped on the dirty pipe wall, her eyes widened at the startling discovery - there was a hole in the wall, and the fireplace was opened.

Sandy's room and Dot's room were opened, and the secret room was no longer a secret room.

With a little effort, Anna pulled the wall over and stepped on the firewood in the fireplace in Dort's room smoothly. It turned out that the firewood broke at that time because of this reason.

It was Sandy who killed Dort.

Anna!

After a few seconds of pride, Anna went back to Sandy's room. She tried to activate the "fascinating eye pupils" that sounds oddly named, but nothing happened, oh... not nothing happened, the air There were a few more mosquito-sized pink bubbles, which looked a little disgusting.

Ah, that's all, Anna is a little disappointed. I didn't expect this skill to be useful for a while, but also, what kind of fun can a copper melon quest come up with?

She put her hand on the doorknob, and was just going out to find a police detective to be stunned. She hid behind her to perform \'Sleeping Detective\'. Suddenly, she noticed that someone was walking towards her outside.

But that's not the point.

At the same time, the strange hissing noise behind her made her even more frightened.

Anna turned her head stiffly, dozens of pink bubbles emerged from the large wardrobe on the other side of the room, and a pair of eyes appeared from the slightly opened cabinet door.

Weird snake eyes. _
