I keep peace by drawing cards

Mrs. Slick's source of income is actually Iluka.

Even if the two are both students of St. Mary's Women's College and have a close relationship, Iluka will not use it by herself and give all the jewelry to Mrs. Slick.

Xia Youjie remembered what Eli said that the butler had had a quarrel with Mrs. Slick.

At that time, the butler said, "Don't think I don't know what you and Ailuka have done for many years, the money is well spent."

The meaning of the butler's words is very obvious. Mrs. Slick and Ailuka are doing some secret things. This matter was learned by the butler. Perhaps it was this matter that brought them a fatal disaster.

Obviously, this secret matter has something to do with money.

"I still don't understand that Mogg will leave most of the inheritance to his illegitimate son."

Gojo Satoru shrugged and said indifferently, "It's his son anyway, it's better to give it to him than to outsiders."

Xia Youjie was still puzzled: "Why did Mogg only give Ailuka your painting and nothing else?"

Wujo Wu didn't like his words, and immediately said: "I am a famous talented painter in the world, and my paintings are not ordinary things, each painting is worth thousands of gold!"

Xia Youjie didn't want to argue with him. He asked the servant in charge of taking care of Ai Luka's daily life, but he still didn't get many clues.

Iluka lives in seclusion and doesn't usually go out. She only goes to church on one fixed Sunday every month.

Aluka and Mog don't often live in the castle on this isolated island. They have a manor outside, and they came to this isolated island to hold this banquet.

All the servants who came to the castle were brought from the manor, so there were only a dozen servants in the whole castle.

There is a manor, why come to this isolated island to hold a banquet?

What exactly is Mogg trying to do?

There was no one else on the island, and the boat to pick them up was arranged by Mogg.

Soon after they arrived at the isolated island and entered the castle, the ship was burned down, and they were trapped on the isolated island, unable to communicate with the outside world, and then the owner of the castle burned to death in his own house.

Why did the murderer burn the ship?Trapped them here?

But doesn't this also trap myself?

Xia Youjie asked the time when the servant Ailuka went to church to attend lectures, and it unexpectedly coincided with the day when Mrs. Slick gave him gifts every month.

From Joan's memory, I know that Mrs. Slick will become very rich that day, and she will buy him a special gift on that day, the same every month.

It's a pity that they are trapped on the island now, unable to go to that church to find clues.

Xia Youjie thought of Ailuka's lover, Mogg's illegitimate son.

In the entire castle, he is the only one who still knows about Iluka.

"You ask me Aluka? Didn't I say everything I should have said?"

Xia Youjie asked: "In your memory, what kind of person is Ai Luka?"

Nakahara also frowned and recalled: "In my memory, she is a naive and simple girl. She doesn't dislike my poverty. Every day we love each other is very romantic."

Xia Youjie: "Why did she marry Mogg?"

Nakahara Chuya: "She came to me suddenly and said that her father forced her to marry Mogg for money. Joan originally wanted to take her to elope with her, but for some reason, she didn't arrive on the agreed day."

"What else? What happened after you sneaked in, why was Ai Luka captured again?"

"I finally found the room where Ai Luka was, planned everything, and took Ai Luka to leave at night, but when I was about to leave, she suddenly said that she had left something important in the room and she had to go back to get it She left suddenly, and someone found me again, so I had no choice but to leave alone, and Ai Luka was taken back."

Such a coincidence?

how does it look...

Gojo Satoru said bluntly, "Ai Luka doesn't want to leave with you, does she?"

Nakahara is not Joan, who is in love with Ai Luka, and he doesn't feel much about Gojo Satoru's words.

"It seems to be like this. She always has one or another reason not to leave Joan." Zhong Yuanzhong also thought of the weird place, "In my memory, Joan went to Ai Luka because he forced Ai Luka to marry Mogg. Ka's father questioned why he married Iluka to an old man who could be her father, and Iluka's father said it was her own choice."

Xia Youjie continued to ask: "Then how did Ailuka contact you afterwards?"

Nakahara Chuya: "Suddenly received a letter from Iluka, and we got in touch. After that, we will meet in church every month."

church?

Iluka is too busy, I have to meet Mrs. Iluka and her lover that day.

"We met each time at sunset and stayed until she came home at night."

So he was meeting Mrs. Slick during the day?

Real time management teacher.

"Do you know the relationship between Iluka and Mrs. Slick?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also replied: "I don't know. You have asked so many questions, do you know who the murderer is?"

Xia Youjie also replied, "I don't know."

"..." Zhong Yuan was speechless, "Where's the squint-eyed detective from the detective agency? Let him come out to solve the case!"

Xia Youjie: "I went to find Mr. Luanbu, but he only said something vaguely, the living are not the only ones who can kill."

"What does he mean by this, is it not a living person or a dead person? A dead person can cheat a corpse and kill someone?" Zhongyuan Zhong was also heartbroken, "You never thought that the murderer was him, did he fool you?!"

Xia Youjie was very sure: "A lawyer is not a murderer, even if he is related to the case, he is at most an accomplice."

accomplice?

Xia Youjie suddenly thought of something.

The relationship between lawyers is simple, and they don't know the guests who came to participate.

If he is an accomplice, there is only one person who will help.

And if the housekeeper who pleaded guilty is also an accomplice, he will only help that person.

But the most puzzling thing is that the only person they can help is already dead.

The dead don't kill, only the living can.

After figuring everything out, Xia Youjie suddenly realized.

The fog dissipated, and all the clues connected together to form the truth.

***

The castle is dead again.

The one who died was Iluka's painting teacher, Eli.

When hearing this news, Takizawa Yume was also very surprised.

Could there be other murderers hiding in the castle?

In the middle of the night, Takizawa Yume also entered another secret passage. This secret passage leads from the room where he lives now to the area where the guests live.

At the end of the secret passage, Takizawa Yume also bent his fingers and tapped on the edge.

There was the sound of the gear turning slightly, the mechanism was activated, and the secret door opened.

After Takizawa Yumeya walked out, the door closed automatically, as if nothing had appeared in this corridor.

very quiet.

Takizawa Yume also walked very lightly, only the sound of footsteps could be heard.

He walked in the dark, his back was slightly bent, and he looked like a ghost in the night.

He went to Eli's door and took out a bunch of keys.

The keys collided slightly and made a crisp sound, which was a little out of place in such a quiet atmosphere.

The door opened.

Takizawa Yume also slowed down, closed the door gently, and looked at the corpse lying on the ground under the moonlight.

This figure...

Takizawa Yume also smiled imperceptibly: "Get up, the ground is cold, don't catch a cold."

The "corpse" that was lying down sat up, and the light in the room was turned on.

In addition to the person who just sat up, there were many people standing in the room.

Oda took the photo and compared it with Takizawa Yumeya's face, and affirmed, "It's him."

Gojo Satoru, who was sitting on the ground, waved enthusiastically to Takizawa Yume: "Hello, the owner of the castle, Jack Mogg, is also a murderer."

Takizawa Yume also sat down slowly, and was not flustered when he knew the murderer's identity, calmly: "How do you know the murderer is mine?"

"It's hard for anyone to recall, the murderer's body is already dead, everyone is dead, how could they kill?" Xia Youjie said slowly, "The butler is obviously not the murderer, why did he plead guilty, is there anyone who can make him ignore the crime?" Life needs protection too."

Takizawa Yume also nodded: "The housekeeper is indeed very kind to me, treating me as his own son, and I didn't expect that he would plead guilty for me."

Xia Youjie continued: "A lawyer is also someone who helps you hide your secrets. In this castle, the only person he will help is his employer."

Takizawa Meng also admitted: "Yes, he is my accomplice, but he has been paddling, did not help me, and even reminded you."

I knew that Edogawa Ranbu was unreliable.Backstab if you don't help, rubbish teammate!

"Although I know that the murderer is you, there are still some things I don't know, such as the relationship between Aluka and Mrs. Slick, and why you left your property to an illegitimate child you don't care about..."

Takizawa Yume also interrupted him suddenly: "Who told you, I don't care about my well..."

Takizawa Meng also realized that he didn't pronounce the word "Da'er" and paused for a moment, but no one noticed.

He continued: "My son, things can't be seen on the surface. If I don't care about him, how did he grow up alone? He has always been in poor health. If I didn't help him secretly, how could he live like this when he is so weak? good?"

I don't know which sentence hit Gojo Satoru's smile, he laughed out loud: "Thank you for your good father."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

If it wasn't for the conditions, he would have already fought fist-to-fist with Gojo Wujo.

Before Xia Youjie could ask, Takizawa Meng just said everything.

"I'm about to die, but there are too many people coveting my property, even if I leave it to him, but two wolves are staring at him, he is still bewitched by beauty, and sooner or later he will give all my money Aluka."

Zhongya Zhongyuan: "???"

What do you mean?What do you do with a fatherly tone?Feeling inexplicably taken advantage of.

"It was Ai Luka who abandoned Joan for my money. After she married me, she knew that Joan was my illegitimate child, and also knew that my time was numbered, so she left most of my property to Joan. So, She reconnected with Joan, and is going to be my son's wife after I die."

Look at the top of his head, is it green?

But it's nothing, his tall son, the top of his head is also green.

Let green father and son go green together!

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

He has never been speechless as many times in his life as today.

"Killing Mrs. Slick was actually not in the plan. She was killed because she knew that Ai Luka had an affair with Joan, and she used this to threaten Ai Luka for a long time to get money. I can't leave this disaster behind, so I solved it he."

Takizawa Yume also said indifferently: "It's okay to solve one more."

Xia Youjie figured out why Ai Luka's death gesture was atonement.

To atone for her sin of playing with their father and son.

"Why did you choose to commit crimes here?"

Takizawa Yumeya gave a simple answer: "This is an isolated island, it is difficult to get in and out, and it is not so easy to investigate the truth, and I will be a dead person by then, and no one will think that I killed people, At that time, the police will place this case as an unsolved case, just like the case that happened in this old castle before, maybe there will be more mystery in the population in the future."

"Why did the butler commit suicide?"

Takizawa Meng also thought about it, and answered him: "Actually, I don't know, but I think someone in him knows the truth of the matter and doesn't want people to know that I am the real murderer. If he voluntarily pleaded guilty and committed suicide, there will be no crimes." People know that the murderer is me."

What else did Xia Youjie want to ask.

But everything in front of them began to dissipate, and in the blink of an eye, they were separated from the world.

Poe curled up, with his raccoon.

Well, a lot of people!

Mr. Ranpo, where are you!
