Outside the study room on the second floor of Grimm Castle.
Except for Juliet, who helped dispose of the body, all the other detectives were there.
"I told you I can't, right?" Miao Kun glanced at the crowd and said, "There are so many of us. If we all go in, it will definitely destroy the evidence.
"You are all experts. You should know that even the smallest detail can be the key to solving the case!"
"That's right," First Lieutenant Chante nodded and said, "My men have verified it. If Miss Molly wanted to go to the little garden, she could have gone through her room or the first floor. There was no need for her to go through the study!"
"In other words," Tanizhao Ichiro agreed, "although this may not be the crime scene, there may be important information hidden here."
Miao Kun put his arm around Zhao Yu's shoulder and said to Lieutenant Qiang Te, "Listen to me and let Detective Zhao handle it! There's no case that he can't solve! "
"You really know how to brag!" Jessica was the first to stand up and object, "He just said that Miss Jasmine committed suicide! It's about to become a classic joke! "
When Jessica said this, everyone laughed.
"But …" Lieutenant Qiang Te said awkwardly. "Mister Miao is right. There are so many of us. If we go in together, it will inevitably cause damage to the scene!"
"I say, what kind of question is this?" The shrewd Yusuf said, "Everyone has their own specialties. There's no need to divide the work, but at least we can cooperate!
"Let's do it this way. We'll take turns to go in and take a look. Then, we'll summarize our thoughts. Won't we be able to maximize our advantages?"
"Hmm … that makes sense!" Lieutenant Qiang Te looked at Zhao Yu and said, "If that's the case, let the least suspicious detective go in first! The rest of you, please wait outside for a while … "
"Yes!" Miao Kun shouted proudly, then turned to Zhao Yu and said, "Zhao, check it out! Don't disappoint me again! "
Then, someone brought over gloves and shoe covers for Zhao Yu to put on. Then, a special agent police officer brought him into the study.
Grimm's study was quite spacious. The bookshelves on all four sides were filled with all kinds of books. Of course, in addition to books, there were also many expensive decorations. The whole place was filled with the aura of British nobility.
Kacha, kacha …
The police officer was in charge of taking pictures. Zhao Yu was only allowed to take a look after a certain area had been photographed.
"Is the light always off?" Zhao Yu turned around and asked in Chinese.
After Miao Kun translated, he quickly got the answer. When the police came to check, the lights were indeed off.
Zhao Yu carefully looked at all the items in the room and found that everything was in order. There was no sign of disorder.
In the middle of the study was a huge and heavy European-style desk. There were some stationery neatly placed on the desk, as if no one had touched it.
"Is the window open?" Xi Mengna, who was at the door, reminded Zhao Yu, "Did Miss Molly crawl out from there?"
Zhao Yu had already seen the windows. In this luxurious study room, there were two windows. The one on the left was open.
Zhao Yu went to the window to check, but he didn't find anything unusual.
"Although it's the second floor …" Zhao Yu frowned and said, "It's at least four meters high. It's impossible to jump down, right?"
"Yes," Qiang Te, who was at the door, said. "We checked from the outside, and there were no footprints under the window. Miss Molly probably stepped on the protrusion on the outer wall and went down somewhere else!"
"Really?"
Zhao Yu bent over and looked out of the window. Indeed, there was a protrusion under the window. If one stepped on it, it would be big enough for a person to stand on.
Previously, Miao Kun had used this protrusion to get to Zhao Yu's room from his room.
However, seeing this protrusion deepened Zhao Yu's doubts.
Something doesn't seem to make sense, right?
He thought to himself. Miss Molly went out to meet a mysterious person, but she didn't know that this person wanted to kill her. It didn't seem to make sense.
If this mysterious person was one of the many guests, then … Why did Miss Molly choose to meet him in the small garden outside?
It seemed that by following this protrusion, she would be able to reach the guest's room.
"Hey!" Jessica's voice interrupted Zhao Yu's train of thought. "Have you finished looking? If you can't find anything, then hurry up and get someone else! Don't waste time … "
"F * ck you!" Miao Kun scolded. "Why are you rushing me? Which detective doesn't think before investigating a case? "
"Can you guys stop arguing …" Tanizhao Ichiro reprimanded impatiently. "If you have the time to argue, why don't you think about the case? This case might not be as simple as we think!
"Even if you don't care about the dead, you should at least care about yourself, right?"
That's right!
Tanizhao Ichiro's words reminded Zhao Yu. Ever since the case, Zhao Yu had been feeling that something was wrong.
Because, even if there really was a murder case, he would never have thought that the person who died would be Miss Molly!
Although it wasn't exactly heavily guarded, at least Miss Molly was in a relatively safe position. There were so many secret agents protecting her, and there were many surveillance cameras inside and outside the castle.
Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to kill Miss Molly without anyone noticing.
It was also because of this reason that Zhao Yu thought it was a prank by Green, and that Miss Molly's death was just an act.
However, the truth was cruel. Now that it had been proven that Miss Molly was murdered, Zhao Yu couldn't help but think of more things.
First of all, the most important point was the motive of the murderer. Why did the murderer take such a big risk and insist on killing Miss Molly?
Although Jasmine had information on this group of people, everyone knew that Jasmine didn't represent an individual, but the entire British intelligence organization.
So, just killing Molly alone wouldn't solve the problem at all!
Also, Zhao Yu didn't believe that the murderer killed just to provoke the detectives!
That reason was too absurd. Only a lunatic would do that.
So … What was the murderer's motive?
The unclear motive, coupled with Molly's abnormal behavior, and the unprecedented "Qian Kun" hexagram, made Zhao Yu feel a deep sense of foreboding.
The "Qian Kun" hexagram represented a huge event, which was very likely related to Molly's death!
Just then, Lieutenant Qiang Te, who was at the door, suddenly raised a tablet and said to everyone, "This is the video footage of Miss Molly entering the study last night. Take a look!"
After saying that, he handed the computer to everyone and showed them the video on it.
"Hey? That's weird! " Tanzhao Ichiro saw the problem with just one look. "Looking at Miss Molly's expression … She doesn't look like she's sneaking around."
"That's right," the black man, Sisay, said. "Miss Molly looks tired, but she doesn't look sleepy. She probably didn't sleep the whole night!"
"She was holding a document in her hand," Tanzhao Ichiro said. "Going into the study in the middle of the night, holding a document in her hand, and looking calm … Could it be …"
