Gurevin pressed his temples with a headache, and he swore that he had never been so excited like today, she almost uttered the worst foul words that she had never said in her life just now.

But he can't do that. The two delicate-looking little girls in front of him can be regarded as his ancestors to a certain extent. If they feel dissatisfied, maybe they won't help.

If they don't help, he won't be able to solve the case. If he can't solve the case, his name will disappear, and if he disappears, his job and status will be threatened. If he doesn't have a job, he will become a maggot. Maggots then he's finished.

You must not make them angry, even if you are humble, you must make them happy.

"Do you want to hear about the case that happened last night? This case is very bizarre. At least we don't have any clue now."

Victoria Liga: "Not interested."

Inaba Tsukiyo: "I don't want to."

The two little lolita answered without hesitation, making Gu Leiwen hang his head. He felt very tired, both physically and mentally.

"Why... How about just listening to it? It shouldn't have any effect on you, right?"

"Even if we solve this case, I'm afraid we won't get any substantial rewards, right?"

Inaba Tsukiyo said as a matter of course, the previous free help was just to let Gu Leiwen do some work for her, and now it would be a bit too embarrassing to ask them to help for free.

"We spend our brainpower here to help solve the case, and Mr. Detective will take all the credit. The credit will increase. In the end, we may get promoted and raise salary, marry Bai Fumei, and finally reach the pinnacle of life. We can only As a tool man, you can't get anything behind your back, no matter how you think about it, it's too bad."

"Hmm! You... you're right."

Gulevin took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off his brow. He didn't think much about it before, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that he was a bit too much. Unlike the high price that Victoria had paid for his help in the past, the recent cases all It's free.

"So what kind of remuneration do you plan to use to satisfy us this time? If it is not a remuneration that satisfies us, then this case can only be resolved by you."

Saying that, Inaba Tsukiya showed a cute smile, put his hands in front of him and made a gesture of fighting.

"I'm sure Mr. Inspector can solve this case, can't you?"

“…”

If I can solve this case, do I still need to come to you?

Gu Leiwen complained silently in his heart, he coughed a few times, and adjusted the collar of his suit pretending to be calm.

"If you help solve this case, I will give you a good reward. This reward can't be said now. It can only take effect when this case is solved. How? Is it okay?"

"Is it really ambiguous? I don't see your sincerity at all, Mr. Inspector."

Inaba Tsukiyo complained, she turned to face Victoria, and Victoria whispered something in her ear, thinking of the following things, she agreed to deal with the case first.

Inaba Tsukiyo nodded, and stretched out his hand to signal Gurewin to tell the case this time.

After seeing Inaba Tsukiyo agree with Victoria, Gurewin finally relaxed and told what happened last night.

"Last night, in an old house in a certain village, old lady Roshan, the fortune-teller, was killed. At that time, there were only three people living together in the old house: the fortune-teller, the Indian maid, and the Arab maid. Oh, yes. Her grandson also visited the old lady at the old house last night."

Gulevin stroked his chin, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and told the general situation.

"Wait, why is the manservant Indian and the maid Arab?"

Victoria interrupted Gurewin and asked.

"This old lady likes to recruit people with exotic styles. Although it is scary that they are Arabs and Indians, but she is a knowledgeable person, so there is no problem with daily Indian and Arabic, so there is no communication. obstacles arise."

"Oh, yes. The maids in the old house can only speak Arabic, while the servants speak English and French fluently."

Inaba Tsukiyo nodded. Although no doubts can be seen from these clues, the basic relationship between the characters has been sorted out.

"Also, before the case happened, the old lady was resting in her room. The servant was outside the window and took the wild rabbits in the yard back to the hut where the rabbits were kept."

"Hares? Does the old lady have a habit of raising rabbits?" Inaba Tsukiyo couldn't help asking.

Gurevin nodded, then thought of something, and shook his head again.

"There are indeed wild rabbits in the old house, but the old lady doesn't seem to like those rabbits. According to the servant's description, she sometimes let the hounds to kill these wild rabbits. This is something that people who like to raise rabbits will not believe. "

"Maybe those rabbits are just rations for the hounds, and maybe they will be added to the hounds when they are fattened up."

I always feel that this fortuneteller is getting more and more strange. Whether it is hiring servants from different countries or having strange interests, it all shows that she is not an ordinary person.

Gulewin ignored Inaba Tsukiyo's complaints, he regained his energy, and continued to talk.

"Last night, gunshots rang out suddenly. Everyone in the old house panicked and gathered in the corridor. The door of the old lady's room was locked. The maid shouted something at first, but the old lady didn't get her response." In response, at this time the male servant proposed to open the door and go in to see the situation."

"It's just that the granddaughter disagrees, because she thinks that if the old lady dies, the old house will become her property, so it is not allowed to be destroyed."

She is really a very realistic granddaughter. When something happens, the first thing she thinks of is not the safety of her grandma, but when she inherits this old house, she doesn't want to spend money to repair the gate.

"In the end, because the maid couldn't understand what the granddaughter said, she directly found a pistol for self-defense from the next door, and fired a shot at the keyhole. When the door was successfully opened, the old lady inside had been shot in the left eye. The window was locked from the inside, and the murder weapon was never found."

Having said that, Gulewin looked at Inaba Tsukiyo and asked.

"Do you think the murderer will be the granddaughter of the old lady, or the male servant or the female servant?"

Chapter 021: Little Ghost

Inaba Tsukiyo lowered his head and thought, repeatedly recalling what Gulewin said just now in his mind, and began to simulate the scene at that time in his mind.

This kind of simulation of the crime scene in the mind is very important. It is precisely because of the invisible relationship that Inaba Tsukiya can accurately simulate the scene at that time in the mind.

Gulewin looked at Inaba Tsukiya who was thinking with his head down, and turned his head to look at Victoria secretly, only to find that this guy took advantage of Inaba Tsukiya's time of bowing his head to think, and tiptoed to the cabinet where the desserts were stored, stealing the sweets inside. Dessert was eaten.

After noticing Gulewin's behavior of discovering her stealing food, he gave him a displeased look, which made Gulewin scratch his hair, and he couldn't help feeling sorry for Inaba Tsukiyo's ability in his heart.

I didn't expect that she could train such a fierce spirit to such an extent. It seems that she is not simple.

"Victoria, I have an idea. Let me handle this case, can you?"

While Victoria was happily eating dessert, Inaba Tsukiya who suddenly spoke made her delicate body tremble, like a child who was found to have done something wrong.

When she noticed that Inaba Tsukiyo had not turned around, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied in her usual indifferent tone, pretending to be calm.

"Well, let me see how far you can go, Yue Ye. If you can't even solve this kind of thing that can't even be called chaos, then I will be very disappointed in you."

"Is it such a big request? But you are right, this case is indeed very simple."

Inaba Tsukiyo smiled and turned to face Gulewin. This guy was looking at him expectantly, waiting for her answer.

"You can't grow by waiting for someone else's answer, Mr. Detective. Before I express my speculation, can I hear your thoughts?"

"Of course it's okay. I've read all of your detective novels, and I've learned a lot from them. Don't think that I'm still the old Gurevin."

Gulewin shook the drill on his head very coquettishly, as if he had read a few detective novels, and he also became like the great detective in it.

"May I take this as your realization that you have never been able to solve a case before, Mr. Inspector?"

It didn't take long for Gu Leiwen to be proud, Inaba Tsukiyo's slightly teasing words made Gu Lei Wen's face full of embarrassment, which made him how to answer.

"Cough! Cough! Those are not important! The most important thing is this case. You just asked me what I think about this case, right? In fact, I was more suspicious of the male servant. Because he was in front of the window of the room at that time, he The suspicion is very high."

"Well. And then? Just because he works in front of the window, so he is regarded as a prisoner, Mr. Inspector."

"Isn't this a matter of course? At that time, the room was in a secret room, and the people in the old house came to the corridor immediately after hearing the gunshots. There was no time to leave after shooting the old lady. Set up that secret room in the room."

Since he couldn't leave through the door, the only possibility was to commit the crime through the window.

"Then did you find any signs that the windows were broken? You said that there was a gunshot from the old house at that time, so besides the shot fired to open the door, are there other bullets in the room?"

"Eh? This... this, it seems that there is no such thing."

Gulewin, who was still full of confidence, blinked his eyes, and quickly recalled the scene investigation in his mind. There seemed to be no sign of the window being broken, and there were no traces of other bullets in the room.

If the prisoner really attacked the old lady from the window, the window would definitely be destroyed. Even if the window was not closed at that time, it would be impossible to lock the window from the outside after killing the old lady.

Therefore, there is basically no possibility that the male servant is the murderer, and his assumption was wrong from the beginning.

Thinking that his confident guess turned out to be wrong, Gulewin's handsome face suddenly became distorted, as if he had eaten something that was not easy to digest.

"If it wasn't for the manservant, that is to say..."

"That's right, the real culprit in this case is actually the maid, Mr. Detective."

Inaba Tsukiyo couldn't help but smile, it seems that no matter how many detective novels he reads, Gulewin's mind will not improve much.

This aspect still depends on brains. Unfortunately, this guy has nothing worthy of praise in his mind. Without her and Victoria, I really don't know what he would do as a police detective.

"Why? Miss Inaba. Can you tell me the reason? She was working in the house at the time, so she shouldn't have had the chance to kill the old lady."

"So, why do you think the old lady was dead when the first gunshot appeared? Let me ask you, why did the old lady die?"

Inaba Tsukiyo sighed, he didn't expect that this guy still didn't know the reason even after eliminating the wrong answer?Really, so what if you think about it carefully?Is it difficult?

"Die for what reason... She died because she was shot through the left eye. She fell into a wheelchair and slid down quickly..."

"Well, then where is the old lady's position?"

"The location... the location is a little closer to the door. Eh? Wait a minute... Could it be..."

Gulevin finally thought of something, showing a suddenly realized expression.

"Well, that's right. The reason why the old lady was shot through the left eye was because she made an action before she died."

Saying that, Inaba Tsukiyo bent down, opened his right eye, and acted as if he was peeping at something. In fact, the old lady was watching the door opening at that time. The reason for watching the door opening was to observe the situation outside.

"You said that when everyone gathered in the corridor, the maid who only spoke Arabic knocked on the door and shouted something, but there was no response. Then she went to the next room and took out a pistol and broke the door lock. Then you What do you think the maid will call?"

"Probably to tell the old lady that someone wants to kill her, and there are attackers in the old house?"

Gu Leiwen thought about it, and asked cautiously like a student who was called by the teacher to answer the question.

"Well, that's it. Maybe let the old lady leave the window and come to the door. The reason for doing this is because only she knows that the old lady is still alive. Only she and the old lady can understand Arabic, get her to the safer door, and then..."

Saying that, Inaba Tsukiya made a pistol pose and shot Gurewin, making a 'biu' sound from his mouth.

"Is that so... What happened to the gunshot at the beginning?"

"In order to make everyone think that someone is going to kill the old lady, the maid must have shot in the next room. The purpose is to attract other people in the room, and also to let the old lady have an idea that someone The signal to attack her. If you look in the next room, you should be able to find the bullet holes."

After saying this, Inaba Tsukiya turned and faced Victoria who had finished eating and still had crumbs on her mouth.

"That's what I think, how many points can you score? Victoria Liga."

"Ninety. Although it is basically correct, there is still a little distance from the full score."

With a pipe in her mouth, Victoria commented sternly and selflessly.

Inaba Tsukiya pretended to be disappointed and lowered his head: "Hey~ It's really a harsh evaluation. Obviously, I have already figured out the similar situation."

Victoria snorted coldly: "Hmph! How long do you want to think about such a simple case? You are only a little bit better than someone who can't even pass the mark."
