I keep peace by drawing cards

The butler's suicide note explained how he killed Mogg and the hostess, and the reason was very simple, because of money. As for Mrs. Slick's death, she accidentally found out that the butler was the murderer and wanted to threaten him. Asking for money, the housekeeper accidentally pushed her down the stairs during the quarrel.

Comparing the handwriting left in the housekeeper's room, it was confirmed that it was written by the housekeeper himself.

The whole case became complicated and confusing again.

Originally, Xia Youjie suspected that the murderer was the housekeeper, but no evidence was found.

But now that the housekeeper committed suicide and pleaded guilty, they are still here, which proves that they haven't found the real murderer yet.

"Is it possible that these three people were not killed by the same person? We still need to find other murderers besides the housekeeper."

Gojo Satoru gave a guess.

Xia Youjie held the spare keys for all the rooms in the housekeeper's house. After a rough scan, there were more than 40 keys on the key chain. Some of them were pasted with cloth strips on which the keys were written, and some keys were not marked. I don't know where to open it.

Xia Youjie just thought for a while, and there was a loophole in the five enlightenment words: "If it is a different murderer, why does the housekeeper take the crimes committed by other murderers onto himself? Unless..."

Zhong Yuanzhong, who was looking for clues in the room, also started thinking. Almost at the same time, he and Xia Youjie spoke, their voices overlapped, and echoed in the small room of the butler.

"The butler and the murderer are together."

Gojo Satoru moved a stool and dragged it over: "Now there are two situations. The butler is the murderer, but he is not the only murderer, but why did he commit suicide and bear all the crimes?"

Xia Youjie said another situation: "The other one is that the butler is just an accomplice, and the murderer is still hiding someone else. But no matter what the situation is, how did the other murderer make the butler willingly commit suicide and write The one who issued the confession? The relationship between the housekeeper and the murderer must be complicated and intimate."

Gojo Satoru supported his head: "It's also possible that the murderer didn't know, and the butler was responsible for it."

Xia Youjie immediately said, "Do you have any information about all the guests and the servants in the castle? Presumably, we should check whether there is any connection between these people and the housekeeper."

Although Nakahara Chuya is too lazy to use his brain, he is very good at searching for clues.

He found the information of all the servants in the butler's room, as well as the list of all those who came to the banquet.

Xia Youjie first checked the information of the servants carefully. According to the information, the housekeeper and these servants were not related by relatives. They simply worked for Mogg in Mogg Castle, and they were colleagues.

"middle……"

Xia Youjie only uttered one syllable before he received Zhongyuan Zhongya's sharp eye knife. He swallowed the remaining words and changed his words: "Mr. There must be more news than us."

Zhong Yuanzhong also snorted, and did not refuse the task assigned to him.

If it weren't for this shell's lack of force, he would have left this world with his fists.

"Aren't you afraid that he is the murderer?" Gojo Satoru asked casually.

Xia Youjie hesitated to speak, "...do you think he looks like him?"

Thinking of Nakahara Chuya's identity being exposed, and the stupidity of insisting that he is Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Gojo Satoru shook his head, very sure: "No."

What's more, Zhongyuan Zhong also seems to want to leave here.

"If he is a murderer, he will definitely blow himself up in order to leave."

Xia Youjie agrees with what Gojo Wu said, if Zhongyuan Zhong is also the murderer, he must have yelled "he is the real murderer" to the sky and left this place now.

But is it possible...

"If the murderer is someone like us who entered the book, isn't his mission different from ours? Our mission is to find the murderer before we can leave, but he hides his identity so that we can't find the murderer before we can leave?"

Gojo Satoru shrugged: "Who knows, maybe he is a person who likes to make trouble, loves to watch the excitement, and is afraid of chaos in the world. He deliberately made it difficult to find the murderer. Seeing that we are struggling to find the murderer, he may be laughing at us for being stupid."

Xia Youjie sighed: "Or maybe the murderer is just an NPC."

After the death of the butler, the castle ushered in a brief period of tranquility.

His confession made the guests and servants of the castle, perhaps including the murderer, sleep peacefully.

Takizawa Yume also knocked on the door three times, seeing that there was no response from inside, she directly opened the door with the key.

Ranbu was crouching in the chair, with his back against the backrest, his head raised, facing the ceiling.

His voice was slightly elongated, with some small bubbles: "It's very rude to break into other people's rooms at will."

Takizawa Yume also said directly: "The butler died, and he wrote a confession letter, confessing all the crimes."

Luanbu let out an "oh", and stood up lazily: "They won't be so stupid as to believe that he is the murderer."

Takizawa Yume also sat down: "No."

Luanbu stopped talking.

Takizawa Yumeya picked up the apple on the table, opened the knife, and slowly peeled the apple.

Luanbu supported his head, watching him peel an apple.

The slender fingers pressed against the knife, and slowly peeled off the skin. The skin was peeled off in circles, hanging down, but not broken.

After Takizawa Yumeya finished peeling, he went to ask for an apple.

Takizawa Yume had no choice but to give him the apple, and peeled another one himself.

The two of them ate the apples, without saying anything, and seemed to have said everything.

"It's boring." Luanbu said.

"The murderer has not been found yet."

Luanbu pushed the hat down and put it on his face, and an unhappy voice came out of the hat: "A group of idiots, idiots, idiots! I haven't found something that can be seen at a glance, and I haven't found it for so long!"

Takizawa Yume also laughed and said: "Not everyone is the No.1 detective, who has the ability to see the truth at a glance. What's more, all of this has something to do with you, Mr. Ranpo."

Edogawa dragged the chair in random steps, turned his back to Takizawa Yumeya, lost his temper and let out a "hum".

Takizawa Yume was also helpless, he was really a child with a strong temper, and he was not angry when he was tricked into coming here.

I lost contact with the briquette, and I don't know if the card character was taken back by the briquette, or it helped to hang up and continue to run.

Takizawa Yume wasn't worried either. Except for Ania and Xingxingjimontong who didn't just disappear because of their special identities, the other card characters were originally mysterious characters, so it didn't matter if they disappeared for a few days.

To be honest, these two days here are actually the best two days for Takizawa Yumeya to rest.

Central Plains has also finished asking all the servants.

He recorded everything the servants said in the notebook, word for word.

"Here, it's all in here."

After handing over the notebook to Xia Youjie, he slumped on the table: "When I went to ask the servant for a question, I met the postman."

He forgot the postman's name, only remembered that he was a postman.

"Postman Miller?" Xia Youjie opened the notebook and said casually, "It's quite strange that a postman came to this banquet."

It seems that we still need to check the guests who came to the banquet.

"I don't see any problem. The relationship between these servants and the butler is not close. The only one who was close to the butler, Master Mogg, is dead."

Xia Youjie closed the notebook: "Let's go find the postman."

Oda was in the butler's room, and the room was in a mess, as if it had been ransacked by robbers.

The steward's body was lying on the bed. He carefully observed the body. Except for the scar on the neck, there was no external injury.

There is only one red mark on the neck, and it was not hung after being strangled to death in advance.

He had asked the servants, and almost all of them said that the butler was not short of money, and it was almost impossible to kill Master Mogg and the mistress for money.

Even if he wanted to kill him, he would never kill Master Mogg.

According to the servants, the butler is the child left by the old butler. After the old butler passed away, the current butler took over the position of the old butler.

After Jack Mogg was born, he was accompanied by the housekeeper and grew up, and the relationship was as close as father and son.

The butler is not married and has no children. Judging from his daily performance, he completely regards Mogg as his own child.

How could he kill Jack Mogg, whom he regarded as his own son, for a little money.

The murderer is not him, who is he committing the crime for?

Faces flashed in Oda's mind, but he couldn't determine which face belonged to the murderer.

"Mr. Miller, do you want to talk?"

Xia Youjie didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Mr. Miller, you are Oda-kun from the Armed Detective Agency, right? Mr. Lawyer is Mr. Edogawa Ranpo from the Detective Agency, right?"

Because of Ania's relationship, Xia Youjie still knows the members of the detective agency.

"Sorry to trouble everyone."

The people in the detective agency are unconditionally tolerant of Ranpo, and so is Oda.

What can children do if they love to play, they can only get used to it.

Zhongyuan Zhong also immediately rolled up his sleeves: "Where is Edogawa Ranpo!"

Let's see if he doesn't beat him up violently!Damn Edogawa Ranpo!

"Central Plains cadre, I don't know where Luanbu is."

Nakahara Chuya almost vomited blood, and he said angrily, "Who says I'm Nakahara Chuya? I'm Akutagawa Ryunosuke!"

Since taking on the identity of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Nakahara Nakahara has brainwashed himself several times that he is Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and now he can say that he is Akutagawa Ryunosuke instead of Nakahara Chuya, and he is already handy. I am not guilty at all.

Oda said honestly: "Central Plains cadre, have you changed your name?"

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

"I've said it all, I'm not Chuya Zhongyuan!" He changed the subject with a fierce expression, "What are you doing sneaking around here, are you a murderer?!"

"I'm not."

Xia Youjie took a deep breath, acting as a peacemaker to adjust the atmosphere.

"Did Oda-kun find any clues?"

Oda told them what he had learned from the servants about the relationship between the butler and Master Mogg.

Xia Youjie asked again: "Did Mr. Oda know from the servant what illness Master Moge has?"

"No." Oda shook his head, "Is Mogg sick?"

"This is what I heard when two guests quarreled in the living room. They said that Mr. Mogg was not in good health. He had no children and few relatives. If he died, most of the property would fall to the mistress. They didn't think I don’t know, Mogg has an illegitimate son living outside.”

Oda: "Bastard child?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also silently turned his head away.

Xia Youjie suggested: "Let's go to Mogg's room again. He was the first to die. I always feel that there are some clues missing."

Xia Youjie had a vague premonition that if he found the secret hidden in Moge, he would find the murderer.
