Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2988 The Death of the Fat Detective
At that moment, the old detective suddenly smiled:
"I can see it."

"Actually, it was the number one tycoon who was killed a long time ago."

"The murderer left after setting the trap."

“He went out for a late-night snack, then went to a party, just blending in with the crowd and confusing everyone.”

"The next morning, the murderer could simply take advantage of the administrator's inattention or set a timer to knock down the disguised bookshelf."

"Let the administrator find the body."

"The administrator would naturally assume that the body appeared after he locked the door."

"And since he had the key himself and opened the door himself, he naturally wouldn't understand why the body would appear in the secret room?"

"This is a time-based locked room, which creates a physical locked room by confusing the time of the crime."

"In this way, the number of people who are truly suspected of committing the crime immediately expands." The middle-aged man suddenly realized.

"Yes, the suspects are still those three people."

After the old woman detective revealed the secret, the three suspects, two men and one woman, did not directly refute it.

They simply said, "We didn't kill him. Anyone could do that."

However, Wenren Sheng noticed that all three of them had somewhat unusual expressions.

It is highly likely that the murderer is connected to them.

Perhaps it was a case of hiring someone to commit murder.

He turned to look at the detectives, hoping to find out what their respective badges were.

In this way, he can deduce the strength of the demons and then decide what methods to use to deal with them.

The detectives frowned immediately; they could also tell that the three were lying.

However, at this moment, Wenren Sheng noticed that a detective's eyes were fixed on one of the sons.

His eyes held a mixture of wariness, vigilance, and a hint of smugness.

It was clear from the detective's gaze that he already knew who the murderer was.

This detective was very fat, weighing a full 200 pounds and only 1.7 meters tall, definitely overweight.

The oversized suit could no longer support his body.

He was still smoking a pipe, looking like he already knew who the murderer was.

He just needs to find the corresponding evidence.

Otherwise, there would be no way to get the one ton of gold that was offered as a reward.

After all, anyone can arbitrarily point out that someone is the murderer.

Without evidence, who would admit that you are right?
So the fat detective began to act alone.

Wenren Sheng shook his head.

This guy's cheat code doesn't look very good.

It should be the kind of cheat that provides information but doesn't directly increase strength.

There were no patrolling police officers at the scene, so it was impossible to conduct extensive searches and conduct interrogations, and protection could not be provided.

In this situation, the fat detective, driven by greed or excitement, turned back and acted alone, which was clearly a move that would only lead to his own demise.

Sure enough, early the next morning.

The fat detective's body appeared in the library, covered in old books in the same way.

"Damn it, this is a provocation!"

Some detectives felt angry.

Some detectives also felt afraid.

Ultimately, they lacked the temperament and ability of true detectives.

They rely on cheats.

And so, the group began to investigate the scene.

As before, the deceased was strangled.

The others all appear to have alibis.

Because the library was locked yesterday, no one could get in.

Moreover, almost everyone was under surveillance and monitoring each other's actions.

"How was he able to enter the library?" "Was it the same method this time?"

The librarian said, feeling wronged:
"That's impossible. To avoid being deceived again, after your explanation, I understood. I deliberately observed those gaps and corners, and even invited three servants to conduct a thorough inspection together."

“We destroyed any bookshelves that might have been used to hide people.”

"We were busy until late at night."

The detectives stopped pressing for answers.

The administrator's explanation was accepted by everyone, and they believed in the administrator.

The administrator is unlikely to make the same mistake.

Then the problem is coming.

How did the murderer and the victim get in after the administrator locked the door?
At that moment, suddenly, another tall detective shook his head and said:
"That's simple, it just means that other people also have the key to this library."

"He can come in whenever he wants."

"And I think this time it must be the fat detective who discovered some secret."

"He went out alone many times to secretly investigate evidence."

"I reminded him before, but he never listened to me. I had no choice but to let him go. Now he's finally dead, isn't he?"

"Yes, he thought this villa was a relatively safe place, but he forgot that all sorts of dangers can easily occur on the sea."

"And now we are at sea, isolated from the outside world, with no one to rely on."

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed with emotion.

"It seems that this fat detective was quite skilled, which is why he was killed by the murderer to silence him."

"Now that he's dead here, what clues did he discover?"

What is he looking for?

Everyone began to rack their brains.

They began searching the other person's body, but unfortunately, there were no valuables on them.

Once they figure out the answer, they should be able to identify their opponent.

Soon, the group began to investigate the villa thoroughly.

They finally found the fat detective's notebook.

The other party did not carry it on their person.

This shows that he was wary of the murderer and also wary of negotiations.

But famous detectives would definitely have such a detective's handbook.

They usually write down what they need to do and then complete it one by one.

Similarly, suspects will be recorded and then systematically eliminated.

After carefully reading the manual, everyone was shocked.

Because it was clearly written above:

"I already know who the murderer is."

"Unfortunately, no evidence has been found yet."

"In any case, this ton of gold is mine."

Suddenly, late at night, someone invited me to the library to discuss something.

“I knew what he wanted to do, but I went anyway.”

"Because I believe the other party wouldn't dare to act recklessly if they didn't want to lose their inheritance rights."

"I don't ask for much, I only ask for 700 kilograms of gold."

"After all, the highest bounty offered is only 1 ton of gold."

And the diary ends here, abruptly.

Clearly, he went to meet someone.

Even though he took a huge risk, he still went, which shows that he had confidence in himself and was also protected by a miracle.

In fact, Wenren Sheng understood that this guy was able to get to this point because he had some kind of cheat code.

In terms of physique, strength, and mental acuity, he's still just a newbie in the workplace.
