[Wolfman Killing] Don't open your eyes at midnight

The madam was stunned for a moment when she saw the corpse, and then fell down without a sound amidst Xiao Wuyue's screams.

Doctor Nancy hugged the man again before Mr. Khan, but when he reached out to touch the medicine bottle, it was empty.She frowned, returned the lady to her husband, turned back to Philip's room, and picked up the medicine box that had been dropped to the ground.

After being injected several times in a row, the passing wife gradually recovered her breathing.

Nancy wiped the sweat off her forehead, and then said to the terrified crowd: "Madam is fine. It's just that Master Philip has..."

Mr. Khan hugged his wife tightly in his arms with a livid face.Everyone sighed.

"I checked it just now. The young master only had a wound on his left chest. He was almost killed by a single shot. Judging from the size of the bullet hole, I think it should be a small gun."

Oh, it turned out that the murder weapon was □□... "Huh?! Wait, Philip was shot? Wasn't it the table knife he was holding in his left hand?" I jumped up in surprise.

"Of course not. I don't know why the table knife was held in my hand, but judging from the shape of the wound, the murder weapon is obviously a gun."

I slapped my thigh: "In other words, the murderer is not a werewolf, but a 'hunter'?!"

"hunter?"

"What hunter?"

"What does that have to do with werewolves in the night?"

Everyone looked at me suspiciously, I had no choice but to pick up a few rules of the werewolf game, mixed with the legend of "Curse of the Fallen Angel", and told them a long story short.After thinking about it, I told them about the note and the attic, and only hid my suspicion about Ding Kun.

"That is to say, after confirming that the murder weapon was a gun, the 'wolf murderer' you originally thought was defeated?" Mr. Khan put his arms around his petite wife and looked at me with a frown.

"Yes, if the murderer is a hunter, then he is probably hunting wolves...!" I looked a little depressed.

"It's just that the carpet blocked the footprints, but if he is still in my mansion, I have to find him." Mr. Khan sneered, "Seb!"

"Yes, sir. May and Cook, you search the first floor together; Benjamin, you go to the second floor with me..."

"Wait...wait a minute!" I raised my hand to interrupt the old butler, "I think it's safer to be in a group of three."

"I don't think it's necessary. No matter whether the other party is a wolf or a dog, as long as two people are careful, it is enough to subdue that one."

"I'm not only worried about safety. It's just Mr. Sheriff's guess that there are at most three wolves among us." I opened my eyes and began to blame "Ding-the quasi-fourth wolf", "So in order to avoid the wolves in a group The members happen to be wolves so that they cover each other and make small moves, I suggest that three people supervise each other, maybe it will be more beneficial..."

The old housekeeper frowned: "But in this way, there will be insufficient manpower... Master, do you think?"

Mr. Khan looked at me blankly, then got up and handed his wife to Nancy reluctantly: "Just do as she said. Ms. Xiao Wei, since it is your own suggestion, would you like to share with me?" Go to rounds with the old housekeeper?"

"..." I looked at the distribution of manpower on both sides, and wanted to say something, but seeing Mr. Khan's faint impatience, I swallowed the words back.

Unexpectedly, it was Dr. Nancy who stood up instead: "I think the distribution can be more reasonable. I, Mr. Cook and the butler will make a team to check the first floor and the backyard; Mr. Khan, you and Xiao Wuyue and Ban Together with Jemin, check the rooms on the second and third floors. As for Madam, she will not wake up in a short time, and it is enough for Ms. Wei to stay here alone. In this way, not only will the father and daughter suspected of covering up , and I, who is also suspected, can be removed from the scene of the crime. That’s what you think, isn’t it, Ms. Wei?”

Dr. Nancy looked at me with a half-smile, knowing my inner thoughts.I couldn't help but nodded: "Well, yes."

She smiled with satisfaction: "It's just right, I also want to go to the yard to see for myself...Mr. Khan, do you think this is feasible?"

Mr. Khan glanced at her, then walked downstairs without saying a word.The others followed him as well.

The doctor wrapped his wife up with a spare quilt and laid it flat on the carpet.Before leaving, she used her hands as a comb to casually stroke her short light chestnut hair, revealing her white and round earlobes, on which a diamond-like stone shone brightly under the light: "How about it, my sincerity Is that enough, Ms. Sheriff?"

"..." Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat twice.Oh my god, she is too handsome.

……

The situation is urgent, and everyone's actions are much faster than I imagined.Not long after I tucked Philip in a clean sheet, someone returned, panting.

"No, all unlocked rooms on the second and third floors have been searched, and there is no trace of outsiders breaking in at all."

"We didn't find anything on the first floor...Moreover, Dr. Nancy took us around the backyard outside the young master's window, and we didn't find a single footprint."

I froze.This is completely beyond my expectation...how can there be nothing?He was neither in the house nor showed signs of escaping, so didn't he disappear out of thin air?

"Clatter——" Suddenly, the sound of glass shattering came from the next room.

No, it's Ding Kun's room!Just now, I didn't go in and search for fear of disturbing his rest!Hateful murderer, if he dares to hurt Ding Kun——

At the moment of life and death, I jumped on one leg faster than I could fly.A slammer slams the door open:

"Ding—er, huh? Mr. Sheriff, are you all right?"

Seeing my embarrassment, this unscrupulous guy even smiled: "I heard the commotion outside, as if something happened. I couldn't use the strength to call someone, and it was inconvenient to move. As a result, I held my hand while drinking water. One slip...Sorry, Mr. Khan, I broke your cup, and I will be with you afterwards."

Mr. Khan put his arms around his wife wrapped in silkworm chrysalis, sat down on the only chair in the room, and said in a weak and weak voice, "No need."

Ding Kun glanced across the crowd, and finally landed on me: "So, what happened just now?"

I was still struggling with his mocking smile just now, so I deliberately turned my head and pretended not to see it.

Seeing that I ignored him, Ding Kun suddenly coughed violently, so that Dr. Nancy had to go forward to give him medicine.I sighed and turned away worriedly.Ding Kun, with a black potion in his mouth, was also looking at me with a playful smile, two blushes on his face, and a pair of autumn-like eyes...

I closed my eyes in an attempt to block this insane sight, and told him what happened just now.

Ding Kun touched the little green stubble on his chin with his left hand, and unconsciously put the middle finger of his right hand toward the center of his eyebrows: "Can you tell the time of death?"

Nancy: "Based on the condition of the corpse, it should be four to one and a half hours ago."

"I think this range can be narrowed even further." I said, "Three hours ago, at about 3:30, Philip returned to the room with the help of Butler Seber and Mr. Benjamin. I was sitting On the stairs outside."

Ding Kun looked at me: "What are you doing sitting on the stairs? Is your leg broken?"

Listening to what he said, I really wanted to be angry: "I'm sorry, I really broke my leg..."

"The specific time is 3:36." Nancy took out the notebook in her arms and interrupted the nonsense between the two of us, "That's when I was bandaging Ms. Wei's wound here, I heard the young master's call from the next door." Pain."

"...Yes, I heard that too." Wow, the time is accurate to single digits, how about she remember it in such detail.

Chef Cook: "I was still there at that time. The young master couldn't go to the restaurant to eat at night, so the master asked me to deliver the steak in advance. The young master twisted his wound when he took the plate, so he yelled a few times. I was the last one to leave The people in the young master's room."

"Did the window open before you left?"

"The window? It should be open. The young master always finds it too hot, so the windows are often closed."

"Where is the door? Isn't it locked?"

"Not locked. The mansion is all our own people, so there is no need to lock it."

Ding Kun lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly turned to me: "Well, you come to think about it on behalf of everyone, what kind of person is this murderer, and how did he commit the crime?"

"Hey, I'm coming?" I was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding why Ding Kun suddenly called my name.I thought for a while and said, "The prisoner should be the hunter who came into the mansion from the attic. His body should be very flexible and strong, so that he can climb up the big tree outside the window smoothly. Arrive at 3:36 At some point between 5:00 and lying on a tree, he shot and killed Philip from a distance through an open window on the third floor. It happened to be the time when the thunder was at its worst, helping him to cover up the crime. After successfully killing the target, he continued to climb up the tree trunk, entered the mansion through the attic window, and disappeared completely in the mansion after leaving a string of wet footprints..."

Everyone nodded in agreement after listening to my words, and I gained confidence and continued: "As for who the murderer is, I think the most suspected person is Yamazaki Ao. He has the ability to steal the gun in the Alarm Hall, and then Climb up the tree nimbly, and then shoot and kill."

"No, he didn't do it." Ding Kun shook his head, "First of all, the diameter of the bullet in the alarm hall is a circle larger than what the doctor described, and the murder weapon is not my gun. Secondly, if it is really him who crawled If the tree comes in, it will definitely leave footprints under the tree. But didn’t you check just now, there is nothing on the ground in the backyard, right?”

"Mr. Sheriff is right. We witnessed with our own eyes that there is really nothing under the tree." The old butler nodded, "It has been raining since early in the morning, and the tree is full of mud. If you want to climb the tree, you must It should leave a mark on the ground. How did the murderer manage to leave no footprints?"

"Wait, why did you categorically say that it wasn't Xiao Cang..." I pinched my eyebrows tightly, my brain was spinning wildly, "Could it be that you mean that the murderer didn't come from outside, and no one climbed the tree to get in or out?" Mansion—because only in this way, there will be no footprints, right?"

"Bingo! You are getting more and more in my favor, ma'am." Ding Kun snapped his fingers and squinted his eyes to inspect the people with different expressions, "That is to say, during the period from 3:36 to 5:00, Someone shot and murdered Philip, and after disguising the scene as a burglary, he actually appeared in this room pretending nothing had happened.

"Whether you are a hunter or a werewolf, no matter what kind of cover-up you use to kill people, since you dare to commit crimes in the area under my jurisdiction, you must be prepared to be executed in public.

"I swear as my sheriff—I'm going to find you out!"
