They all call me master

Arthur looked at the empty dressing table and immediately realized where the strange feeling after entering the villa came from -

accessories!

The whole villa lacks small embellishments.

All decorations are large in size and difficult to carry.

And in such a villa, it is impossible not to have small embellishments!

unless……

Arthur guessed in his heart and looked at the corpse.

The corpse was wearing pajamas and fell on the side of the big bed. His head hit the head of the bed and he leaned down. One arm was forward and the other arm was pressed underneath him.

The bloody wound was on the back of the head.

Next to the body was a hammer, which should have been the murder weapon - the murderer attacked from behind and killed him with one blow, without any hesitation when he struck.

Arthur glanced at the blood and hair stained on the murder weapon and was very sure of this.

Then he got closer to the body.

He smelled a hint of jasmine mixed with the smell of blood.

'perfume? ’

Arthur twitched his nose and smelled it a few more times, then went straight to the bathroom - he tried to find the perfume. There was no perfume on the dressing table, it should be in the bathroom.

Then, under the sink, Arthur found the perfume.

At the same time, he also found a razor.

It's not a new razor, but one that has been used for a long time, and the matching sharpening cloth is full of marks - and Jenkin just came back yesterday.

Obviously, there is another unnamed male owner of the villa: the lover of Jenkin's wife.

Putting the razor back again, Arthur walked to the body again.

"Turn the body over."

Arthur motioned to Maltz.

Maltz immediately complied, and when the body was turned over, the sergeant's eyes widened in surprise.

In the hand of this corpse, I saw a small knife - smaller than a dagger, but larger than a table knife. Such daggers are very common among golden fingers, but they should not appear in the hands of a painter's wife.

Maltz frowned slightly, but immediately looked at Arthur.

Why should he think when Arthur is here?

Wouldn't it be nice to just ask for the answer?

“Let Dico ask the servant here, who is this lady’s lover?

Also, what happened after Jenkin came back yesterday?

The point is who has been here. "

Arthur didn't answer

"clear!"

Maltz walked out immediately.

Arthur walked towards the bedroom window - the window remained open, and Arthur could clearly see shoe prints, and there were more than one.

There are them on the windowsill and on the walls.

But some were wiped out.

Arthur frowned slightly, and after temporarily writing it down, he began to connect the clues just now. Immediately, such a picture appeared in his mind——

Jenkin, who had been trapped for a year, returned to his home. Before he could feel the warmth of home, he suddenly discovered that his wife had a lover.

Moreover, he had packed up everything he could take with him and was ready to elope with his lover.

In a rage, Jenkin questioned his wife and became murderous.

Where is this wife?

It's not for nothing, the knife in his hand speaks volumes.

Unfortunately, Jenkin acted faster.

He hit his wife to death with a hammer from behind.

Finally, escape through the window.

That's how it all looks.

But there are a few things that Arthur cares about.

If it was what he thought, it was impossible for Jenkin to lose his memory, then what was the other party looking for him for?

And what happened to that check?

Finally there is the perfume.

Who puts perfume under the sink?

It was like leading him to find the razor, confirming that the lady had a lover.

Of course, there are also traces on the windowsill and wall that are worth noting.

Standing in front of the window, Arthur's eyes quickly understood - the feeling of standing on the shoulders of giants was really better than ever before.

Not only does he have enough experience for him to learn from.

Moreover, many times, he was given the perfect solution.

Soon, Maltz came back.

"When Jenkin came back yesterday, in addition to the servants, there were Jenkin's wife and apprentice Ailon in the villa. After learning that the teacher was back, Ailon was very happy, but Jenkin looked serious and motioned to Ailon to leave first. What's the matter? Let’s talk about it tomorrow.

And after Elrond left, Jondis came - he was the lady's lover.

However, when he learned that Jenkin was back, the lover was shocked and turned away immediately.

Then, an argument broke out upstairs.

The housekeeper asked what happened, and Jenkin said it was fine.

Both servants can attest to this.

Until the discovery of Madam's body this morning. "

Maltz recounted what he learned.

Then, he asked subconsciously.

"Jenjin killed someone in anger because of his wife's lover?"

"Um."

Arthur nodded and didn't say much.

he shouted downstairs.

"Dico?"

Dicko, who was promoted to a trainee police officer, ran up.

"Counsellor, what's the matter?"

Dicko asked after saluting.

“I have something to ask of you.

You help me go to Freeman's house and ask the check expert to come over. I need to make sure of one thing. "

Arthur ordered.

"good!"

After Dicko saluted Arthur and Maltz again, he quickly ran out - Freeman was also in the White Bird neighborhood, not far away.

After doing this, Arthur went directly to the lobby on the first floor and sat down, waiting quietly.

"Don't we need to go to that Jondis' house?"

"Need not."

"already dead."

Arthur said with great certainty.

"died?"

"Did Jenkin kill him?"

Maltz was stunned.

Now that he has killed his cheating wife, his wife's lover will naturally not let go and will definitely be killed together - Maltz has come into contact with many criminals, and it was normal at first, but as long as he kills one person, his conscience will collapse. , coupled with self-destruction, it really means killing everyone who has a grudge against himself.

Is this what Jenkin is?

Maltz recalled the brief meeting yesterday in detail.

A bit like!

When the other party came to the White Bird neighborhood yesterday, he felt a kind of...anger?

That's right!

Just anger!

It is so normal to kill people continuously in this state.

The police chief looked at Arthur again while he was thinking.

Arthur shook his head firmly.

"Not Jenkin."

"After killing his wife, Jenkin was no longer able to kill anyone else."

Arthur meant something.

The police chief was stunned again.

Arthur spoke again.

"Andy, go take a look at Jondis' house - remember, there may be danger there, so be careful and don't touch anything."

"Yes, Mr. Advisor."

Andy bowed in response.

"Didn't you say you don't have to go?"

Maltz was confused.

"We don't have to go, but others have to go - this is a necessary preparation for our 'protagonist' to take the stage."

Arthur said as he opened the cat cage and took Pendragon out.

While petting the cat, I thought about whether I had missed anything.

Soon, Dico came back first, and the invited guest also arrived as promised.

That check expert.

The other person had white beard and hair, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and had a cane in his hand. He moved slowly, but everyone faced the old man with respect—the other person was not only an expert on checks, but also the old lion of Neiwan. One of the financial advisors.

Of course, retired.

But it's still enough for anyone to understand how to treat this old man.

"Which gentleman invited me?"

The old man asked with a smile.

"I."

Arthur also smiled and signaled Maltz to take out the check again.

When he handed the check to the expert in front of him, his voice was low and authentic.

"I feel a strong message of the dead above. Can you tell me why?"

Everyone looked at the old man.

Under the gaze of everyone, the old man said directly——

"cannot!"
