Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat

Although he had generally believed Albon's statement, Adrian still investigated Albon according to the procedures. As expected, Albon had no conflicts or grudges with the victim's family.

Before this, it can be said that they had almost no connection with each other, so it means that Albon had no motive to commit the crime. However, although Albon's suspicion has been temporarily ruled out, it does not mean that he is clear.

Albon violated discipline by seducing a married woman and even assisted her in disposing of the body. Even if he was threatened by her, he cannot escape blame and will be severely punished by law.

But when Albon was taken away, Miss Holmes asked him.

"Mr. Albarn, can you tell me when you disposed of your last body?"

"I was worried that carrying too many at once would arouse suspicion, and the locations I was asked to go to were far apart, so I handled one a day until last night when I finished the last one."

After saying this, Albon was taken away, and Holmes began to sort out the existing clues.

It is currently known that the murderer is a female who is familiar with the victim's family. She has sufficient conditions to poison the victim, and can determine the effect in the first time and carry out subsequent processing. In other words, the murderer is likely to be at the scene when the victim's family is eating.

He was also very familiar with the layout of the victim's home and knew the key to the warehouse.

The most crucial thing is why the murderer deliberately used the methods in the book to deal with the corpse after committing the crime, and even went so far as to seduce Albon, a security guard, and threaten him to help him. This undoubtedly entailed a huge risk.

Generally speaking, after committing such a serious crime, the murderer would definitely hide from the security guards. Such counterintuitive behavior means that this step is definitely the core of the murder plan. As long as the purpose of the murderer going to such great lengths is solved, all the questions in the whole case will be answered.

In addition, Holmes guessed that given the importance the murderer attached to this ritual, he would definitely observe Albon in secret and would not leave until he was sure that the other party had indeed completed the process according to his requirements.

In other words, the murderer is likely to still be in Fontaine, and has not escaped abroad. However, Holmes knows that he does not have much time left. After making sure that Albon has dealt with the body, the murderer is likely to escape from Fontaine today.

While Holmes was thinking, Adrian was not idle either. He arranged for the guards to visit and investigate the surrounding neighbors and people related to the victim. Unfortunately, most of these people had alibis or did not have the conditions to commit the crime, so the case came to a standstill.

"Ms. Holmes, Captain Adrian, you all should come out and have something to eat. You've been investigating for so long, why don't you come over and take a break? I bought a big strawberry cake nearby. It's delicious."

Just then, the voice of Miss Pink Fairy came from outside the door.

The guards walked out of the door and saw Miss Pink Fairy had brought a small table from somewhere. On the table was a 12-inch strawberry cake and a pot of black tea.

"Miss Pink Fairy, I'm sorry for the expense. Everyone has worked hard on today's investigation. Let's eat something and take a rest."

Adrian called the guards over. After staying in such a depressing environment for a long time, it was very necessary to relax properly.

After hearing Adrian's words, the security guards at the scene all breathed a sigh of relief. They thanked the pink fairy while taking the cake she had cut.

For these security guards who are used to big scenes, eating at the door of the crime scene is just a trivial matter.

"Miss Holmes, you should try some too. It's delicious."

Miss Pink Fairy walked towards Holmes who was still in deep thought, holding a piece of cake. This was his old habit. Once he started studying a case, he would forget to eat and sleep. Miss Pink Fairy's main task as an assistant was to take care of his diet.

Holmes came back to his senses, saw the cake in front of him and refused with a smile.

"I've already eaten a lot at noon. If I eat more, I'll become fat."

……

"Ellie, are you hinting at something?"

After seeing this, Funina frowned and said to Alicia.

"How could that be? A beautiful girl like Fufu can never gain weight no matter how much she eats."

Alicia quickly denied it. Although Furninna was still a little skeptical, she had no choice but to give up because she had no evidence.

……

After several refusals, the pink fairy had to give up feeding the baby and put the cut cake back to its place. It was this scene that made Holmes suddenly realize. The corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and she already knew who the murderer was.

"Captain Adrian, among the six bodies of young girls, which one is the one without a head?"

Adrian, who was eating cake, paused after hearing this, then said.

"She is the youngest of six sisters, her name is Chloe."

"Any picture of her?"

After hearing Holmes' question, Adrian looked at the security guard who was keeping the evidence.

"Yes, a family photo was found in the victim's home. Apart from the known ones, the remaining one must be Chloe."

"Take the photo to your neighbor to identify it, and once it's confirmed, make a few more copies."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The guard did not refuse Holmes' request. Although Holmes was not his superior, after several collaborations, his prestige among the guards was very high.

After the security guard finished the cake in his hand in a few big bites, he rushed out of the door with the photos to find his neighbors for confirmation.

Adrian watched all this silently, and when he saw the guard go out, he asked Holmes with expectant eyes.

"Ms. Holmes, why did you do this? Do you know who the murderer is?"

Ms. Holmes said with her hands on her hips in a confident tone.

"The purpose of doing this is of course to arrest people based on the photos."

"Catch someone? Could it be that the perfect woman Asoide in the book really appeared?"

Adrian's hair stood on end when he heard this, and he spoke in an incredible tone.

"Of course not. Everything in the book is false. What we want to catch is not the so-called 'Asword', but the culprit of this murder, Miss Chloe!"
