Whispering Poems

Chapter 1293 Closing Arguments
After half a minute of silence, Mr. Henry Mafar, who kept wiping his sweat, finally couldn't help but said:

"ok I admit it."

"Ok?"

Now it was Xia De's turn to be surprised, because the murderer was not the gentleman who invited him to play cards just now.

"I admit that when I went to that corridor, I actually asked a girl out on a date. Yes, I actually had a childhood sweetheart girl, but my father always wanted to arrange my marriage. At home, I never took the initiative to refute my father's Any order, but only this, and only this."

He seemed to have collapsed, covered his face and began to cry, then suddenly said loudly:
"Oh, I love you, Emily, yes, I love you, and now I'm going to say this, and I'm going to propose to you tomorrow, and I can't stand this concealment anymore."

"Emily" was also in that corridor at the time and was also one of the insiders.At this time, the sound was heard from the small study room across the door, and the girl with light yellow hair also ran over crying, and the two hugged each other tightly.

"Is this a scandal?"

Xia De asked Adelina, Her Royal Highness thought about it:
"For the Mafal family, it must be counted. Emily Churchill is only the daughter of the baron, and this marriage will not be blessed."

Xia De nodded, stretched out a finger and shook it at the little princess. The latter naturally knew what it meant, and now there was only the last one left.

"In this way, the suspicion of Mr. Marfar will be cleared. As long as we get the correspondence between him and Miss Emily Churchill, we can confirm that what he said is true. So, both of you"

Following Xia De's words, people's eyes moved to the remaining two people on the sofa again. The manservant looked at Raphael Birmingham in black tuxedo on the other side of the sofa in surprise. Pointing to the servant in surprise:

"It's really Ni! I knew how the duke's son could commit such a horrible murder!"

This refers to Mr. Mafar, who has basically been cleared of suspicion, but actually refers to himself.

The inarticulate butler George Wayne looked at the finger pointing at him in surprise, and stammered to explain but didn't know how to prove himself.He looked at Xia De for help, but found that Xia De was also looking at him seriously:
"Mr. George Wayne, why did you appear in that corridor?"

The detective's sharp gaze made his scalp tingle, as if those eyes were directly looking into his soul.The servant shrank his head:
"me"

Such severe questioning and the detective's fierce aura directly plunged his spirit into a short-term chaos.And at this moment, the closed door was hastily opened, and Tifa, who was wearing a black and white maid dress, walked in with Shard's coat, holding an orange-white cat that was poking its head.

The small cat seemed quite uneasy about this place, until it saw Xia De, it screamed and rushed over.It was not easy to get the cat out of the house, even if Tifa was allowed to go, it was almost impossible, so Shad asked Tifa to bring his coat, which made Mia also come to the Yodle Palace.

"Look, my detective assistant is back with another assistant. Good job, Miss Servitt."

He said to Tifa with a smile, and the brunette nodded with a pursed smile, then stood behind Shad again.

Shad, holding the cat, asked the people behind him:
"Have you heard all the rumors about me?"

Mr. Johnson, Senior Superintendent, suddenly realized:
"The cat that's better than a police dog? I got it from Hamilton Detective Stories. I mean, my daughter mentioned it when she read Hamilton Detective Stories."

Dorothy's detective stories are currently the best-selling and popular popular novels, and even the sales of "Steambird Daily" have tripled and opened up more distribution areas.People certainly know that the stories in detective novels have fictional elements, but most people think that most of them are true.

Therefore, the cat in the story, which often plays a huge role-the patch that Dorothy uses to fill in the unwritten ring magician ability, really has extraordinary abilities in the eyes of readers.

"Okay, since George Vane the valet won't admit it. Come on, Mia, take a sniff."

Xia De asked someone to bring the murder weapon and asked Mia to sniff it.If other people did this, they would definitely be considered crazy, but everyone thought it was appropriate for Xia De to do it, because in stories and rumors, he relied on the cat's keen sense of smell to solve one after another. case.The significance of Dorothy's story lies not only in her personally, but also in making Shade the not the best but the most famous detective of this era.

"Meow~"

The cat held by Xia De was forced to sniff the murder weapon with a look of disgust, and then Xia De brought it closer to the two people on the sofa.The male servant took a deep breath and stopped talking, while the young and handsome Mr. Raphael Birmingham, after not being obviously flustered, pointed at Shad in disbelief and said:

"Wait, you guys actually trust a cat's judgment? No, that's not fair, I refuse to let that cat come near me!"

"But that cat does solve a lot of puzzles, and I saw it in the 'missing third coin' story that Detective Hamilton cracked. Oh, and I saw it when Detective Hamilton and I first met."

Princess Adelina said with a smile, "the first meeting" refers to the time when she and her friends were injured when they used tortoise shell divination in the Prophet Association.

Her words were echoed by others.

"Yes, I also saw it in the 'Old Man Living Alone' article."

The eunuch servant sent by His Majesty the King to monitor the progress of the case also said.

Little Birmingham's mouth trembled:
"Are you crazy? It's just a detective story. How can you believe it?"

Seeing that Xia De was getting closer, he stood up at once:

"Even if you bring a police dog, it's better than this. No, I don't accept this result!"

"What result? I haven't given a judgment yet."

Xia De asked seriously, the young man subconsciously wanted to back away, but then realized that he was standing in front of the sofa.

Xia De pointed the cat at the servant, but the cat didn't respond.So he pointed the cat at Raphael Birmingham again, but the cat still didn't respond.

Xia De poked its butt quietly.

"Meow~"

Mia screamed immediately, and turned around with her teeth and claws ready to scratch Xia De.

Xia De's eyes became sharper:

"Mr. Birmingham, I didn't expect it was really you. Why did you murder Daniel Philip?"

Seeing such a result, people also looked at Mr. Raphael Birmingham with scrutiny, and the latter opened his mouth wide:

"How is this possible?! This is crazy! I can't let a cat wrong me, no I don't!"

"You can't explain why you're in the hallway!"

"In exchange for presents!"

"You have no witnesses!"

"That's because this matter cannot be known by others!"

"Everyone else has valid reasons!"

"That manservant doesn't have one!"

"You've been acting weird since just now!"

"I've always been normal!"

"I bet you'll be haunted by the ghost of your victim!"

"You actually cursed me!"

"My cat already smells blood from your right hand!"

"Obviously left."

He froze for a moment, and the rapid exchange of answers between the two parties made him subconsciously say something extraordinary.

"Left what?"

Xia De tilted his head slightly, staring at him with his left eye.

"Oh?"

People also understood, and Mr. Birmingham's mouth opened even wider:
"I, you, me, you, you"

Seeing this, Shad threw the cat to Tifa behind him, and Mr. Birmingham rushed up with his fists:
"You bloody fuck"

He swears.

"If you have read "Hamilton's Detective Stories", you should at least know that I am good at flying cards and fighting. Unfortunately, Miss Louisa did not make up this point."

Xia De raised his hand to push away his fist, and slammed forward sideways, causing the charging Birmingham to lose his balance and fall backwards.Then he raised his leg sharply and slammed his knee into his abdomen, while the latter wailed from his throat, took his hand, turned around and threw a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw——

Bang!
clap clap~
The applause sounded, and the truth of the case was found out.Except for the wailing murderer on the floor, only Miya was very dissatisfied with this.Even lying in Tifa's arms, it was still dissatisfied.

"And you, honestly, what the hell are you doing in that hallway?"

Xia De did not forget to ask the male servant who had cleared his suspicions. The latter looked at Mr. Birmingham lying on the floor, bowed and howling, and subconsciously swallowed:
"I say! I say! I went to spy on the guests at the banquet. I heard that some very beautiful ladies were also here."

Although the suspicion has been cleared, his job is considered lost. I hope that the number of eunuch servants in the Yodel Palace will not increase by another one.

"But we still don't know what the motive was."

Agelina looked at this scene with great interest and said, Shade then pulled Mr. Birmingham up, grabbed his collar and asked:

"What's the motivation?"

"Damn you."

"Your Highness, he said that he was in love with Daniel Philip. But the latter did not accept this immoral love affair and rejected him tonight, which made him so angry that he killed someone. Just use this as the closing statement and end it quickly This case is the key point. And using this kind of lace news to attract the attention of the public, no one will pay attention to the place where the case happened.”

"Oh, you damn devil! Are you a detective? You can't tarnish the reputation of the Birmingham family! I killed him because he knew that I had a lover outside and wanted to use this to blackmail me and withdraw from pursuing Ajieli Your Highness Na! At that time, I was stunned by anger, oh my God, what have I done?"

Birmingham, who was strangled by the collar, burst into tears as he spoke.

Shad loosened his collar and let him lie on the ground crying.

After wiping her hands with a handkerchief, she turned to the little princess and said:
"Look, Your Highness, the case is closed. I think it's time to report this matter to His Majesty. Tomorrow's newspaper can draw out the smallest corner to explain this case as appropriate. But the truth, it's best not to let the public know too much."

Adelina Cavendish looked at him with a flushed face:
"Very well, Cavaliers, you did a great job, this was definitely the most fun"

"Cough cough."

"I mean the most memorable birthday party ever."
