"From the time when the doctor bandaged my wound at 3:36 until Mr. Housekeeper called me downstairs for dinner at 5:00, I stayed in this room to take care of the sick Mr. Sheriff..."

"Pfft..." Ding Kun finally couldn't help laughing, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come on, what are you talking about, do you regard me as an unconscious vegetable?"

"...?"

"I mean, although I'm sick, I'm still alert. At least I know how many times you moved the chair next to me, not to mention your escape attempt to do something else... as it has nothing to do with this case. You might as well take pen and paper and record my testimony for me, Miss Watson."

Wow, isn't this implying to me that he knows exactly when I "broke my promise" and run away without sleeping on the floor!I confessed: "...Okay, everything is under your orders, Mr. 'Folmore Kun'."

……

Cook: I was indeed the last to see the young master, but definitely not the young master I hurt... I stayed in the kitchen all the time, and at first I prepared dinner for everyone with old Benji.After old Benji was called away by the doctor, Butler Seber came in to replace him.They can all prove my innocence... Yes, as you said, Sergeant, it is true that the right-handed young master would not use his left hand to hold a table knife for self-defense, but this table knife is definitely not used to imply that I am a cook.If the master wants to imply to me, he should hold the plate and the knife and fork in his hands instead of throwing the plate by the window and dropping the fork under the bed...

Cyber ​​Butler: Yes, Mr. Cook and I were in the kitchen after 4:00... until then?I'm tidying up the restaurant as usual...no one can prove it for me.Oh, by the way, when I was tidying up the dining room, I saw Dr. Nancy leave the mansion through the window.However, I don't think she noticed me either.

Dr. Nancy: That's right, I did go back to the clinic shortly after telling Benjamin to deliver the medicine for Carole.But I can't confirm whether Butler Seber saw me in the restaurant or somewhere else... Benjamin and I both left through the front door, never went to the back, and the backyard didn't leave our footprints, did it?You can't doubt us just because we have been exposed to the rain.Cook and the butler also got caught in the rain when they carried the young master down from the mountain. ...I was busy all afternoon with my feet on the ground.Madam, I prepared all the medicines for today on the spot, and I have recorded every minute of the dispensing process. You see, there is not even a minute of free time.This is enough to prove my innocence, right? …Of course I went back to the hospital to check on Mario’s situation. The time I went back and forth was very short, not enough to commit the crime…It couldn’t be him, he was in a coma all the time…Yes, I can 1% affim.Because my medical center was once ransacked by Fei... I have been very careful about my things since then, even if it was only moved by half an inch, I can feel it... However, when I came back, I was not in front of me. The courtyard saw Benjamin's carriage, and he was late.

Benjamin: Well, that's because my carriage broke down on the road.On the way back, the wheels got stuck in the mud, thanks to the little brother named Yamazaki Ao who passed by and helped me push the car back to the front yard... how do I know why he passed by, oh, he seemed to say that he was going up the mountain to find something Road, I don’t know if I found it in the heavy rain...A Ling and Alan are doing well, they have been staying in the grocery store, there is nothing wrong...What are you talking about?Am I suspicious? !Just because I was in the rain for a while longer?Let me tell you, it's impossible!Even if I have time, I have no reason to kill the young master...

"Oh, who said that you have no reason to kill the young master, uncle." Xiao Wuyue interjected without hesitation, "Are you afraid that you forgot who smashed your wife's belongings?"

"You!" Benjamin's face turned red and blue.

"Little May!" the father Cook yelled, "You went too far today."

"I'm telling the truth!" Xiao Wuyue said aggrievedly, "Mr. Sheriff asked us such a serious question, of course he wanted to hear us tell the truth, I just told the truth to clear up the grievances of others as soon as possible That's all!"

"Clean up your grievances? I think you are throwing dirty water!" Benjamin was completely enraged, he gritted his teeth and stared at Xiao Wuyue who was hiding behind his father, "Damn girl, then don't blame me for talking too much! Mr. Sheriff, let me tell you the truth, there is no one standing here who doesn't hate Master Philip. When the master is not at home, no one can stop the young master. He goes to the hospital to make trouble, hide the housekeeper's key, and steal the old warehouse. He even harassed this damn girl. A few days ago, he was fined by the master for putting Xiao Wuyue’s obscene pants on his head and flaunting it everywhere...Master, don’t blame me To tell the truth, I also want to clear everyone's grievances early, so as to save the gangsters from taking advantage of loopholes..."

"..."

The master didn't say yes or no, but his face was ugly and scary.With his right hand, he gently embraced his sleeping wife, while with his left hand, he tightly held his carved cane, the joints were bluish white.After a while, he let out a long sigh, sinking deeply in the chair.

Ding Kun coughed twice, then turned to Xiao Wuyue: "What about you? What were you doing during that time?"

"Me?" The eloquent little man stuttered suddenly, "I... slept in the room, and when I woke up, I went downstairs to help my father with work... I went downstairs at about 4:30. "

"Sleeping? No way." Benjamin sneered, "Why did the shawl get wet while sleeping? I can see it clearly. It's in the laundry room on the second floor. That wet shawl wasn't there this morning!"

"Wet shawl?" Xiao Wuyue was stunned for a moment, "Which shawl?"

"It's the brown-gray one! You must be wearing it and sneaking outside to do shameful things, why are you guilty?"

"I'm not guilty! I'm not guilty! It's just that I took a shower after waking up and accidentally wet my gray shawl as a bath towel, not going outside to get wet in the rain. Sheriff Sir, don't listen to this old man, I'm not guilty at all... I'm just a little worried that no one will prove that I'm sleeping in the room!"

"Of course no one can prove it, because you were killing..."

"Benjamin!" The host suddenly slammed the floor with his cane, "Do you think I can tolerate you talking nonsense in front of me again and again?"

"I'm sorry, I, I just..."

"Okay, I don't need you to explain for anyone anymore. I've said enough about what I have to say. Mr. Sheriff, is it your turn? Please also tell me who the bastard who hurt Philip is." ?”

I bit the hair of the quill pen, looked at Mr. Khan with a bad tone, and suddenly worried about whether Ding Kun, who was ill, would be able to do it.

Luckily, Ding Kun didn't have a fever. He coughed and his voice was hoarse and weak, but he didn't fall into Mr. Khan's tricks: "Of course I will find out the murderer clearly. It's just that I want to hear your testimony before making a judgment." , Mr. Khan."

"My testimony?" He sneered, "You mean, even me, the father, is also doubted by you?"

"It's just the police investigation practice, please cooperate."

"...I stayed with my wife in the room, and I didn't wake her up until dinner, and took a bath for her. At that time, the effect of the medicine hadn't worn off, and water splashed on me when I took a bath, so I also have a set Wet your clothes. But if you use this as a reason to doubt me, I will not admit it."

"...Then you have been watching the madam in the room and didn't go out? Did the madam wake up halfway?"

"nothing."

"Unfortunately, Madam cannot prove that you are not present in a comatose state."

"... Whatever you think. But don't forget, it's impossible for me to climb any tree with my lame feet. And Nancy can also prove to me that with my mother's physical condition, I can't go to the dirty attic. Xi's place."

Ding Kun was about to say something, but suddenly he paused, and his face turned red.He clutched his chest and coughed painfully, his breathing was mixed with the murmur of wheezing and wheezing, which even I, who was far away, could hear clearly!

Dr. Nancy's expression changed, and she stepped forward holding the medicine box, and slapped him on the back: "Bring the water quickly! Clean drinking water for medicine!"

I hurried to get the kettle, but I almost missed it when I picked it up: it's empty!

I was anxious like an ant on a hot pot: "There is no water! The water in the room opposite me is also used up..."

Housekeeper: "I'll check in the young master's room next door. If there's no water, I have to go to the second floor..."

"Excuse me..." I was halfway through my words when Ding Kun grabbed the corner of my clothes.His flushed face revealed a pale whiteness, and the bloodshot eyes made his expression more ferocious, which made my heart ruthlessly tug.

I understand that he would rather cough himself to death at this moment than let a suspect out of his sight.

Only I, completely innocent, can help him right now.

"Let me go, Mr. Seber."

As I said that, I bent my knees and ankles hard.The bandages on the knee and ankle were pushed away under my violence, and the knee that was tied up straight was finally able to bend freely.

I gritted my teeth and ran away.Rough strips of gauze rubbed against my broken knee, and deep in my ankle was a bone-drilling pain.I didn't care about screaming for pain anymore, I just thought that Ding Kun was still waiting for me to deliver water.water!water!water……

There really wasn't any water in Philip's room either.I couldn't help holding my ankle that was so painful that it was about to explode, and glanced at the undrinkable rainwater outside the window, and my temples were so painful that I hated it.

If only I could jump directly from the window to the second floor to get water like I did on the fire scene this morning, so I don't have to go all the way up the stairs...

I suddenly froze.

The thick sky restrained the rain.The rain that came in from the window of Philip's room was as soft as silk, licking my face lightly.

...that's what happened.

how so……
