Chapter 169: Huh? You guys? My eyes!!!
Greenhouse flower house.
Shirakawa Qiu raised his head, looking at the various flower pots and green plants in the greenhouse, and looked at Kudo Shinichi in surprise: "Young people, your brains are so quick."
Kudo Shinichi chuckled: "It was mainly because of their puddle of clear water that caught my attention."
If it was alcohol, he was not sure of the source. After all, drinkable alcohol was provided everywhere at the party, and the murderer could easily get it, so it would be a bit complicated to trace the source.
But if it is clear water, it is actually simpler.
The nearest thing to here is the drinking water tap in the tea room, but there are people there. If the murderer went there specifically to get some clean water, he would definitely be seen and might have been found out by the police by now.
The murderer must have gotten his water from this platform.
So this greenhouse caught the attention of Kudo Shinichi.
The boy's eyes swept across the furnishings inside the greenhouse, finally stopping at the tool cart in the corner.
There is a watering can there.
"This should be it."
Kudo Shinichi took out a handkerchief, picked up the spray bottle, and sprayed it twice.
Sure enough, there was still a lot of water inside, and the water sprayed out was misty with some fine water droplets.
Kudo Shinichi sprayed the water on the ground and finally understood why he felt that the water was a little strange just now.
It turned out that the water was not sprinkled directly, but sprayed from a watering can. The edges of the water stains on the ground were not particularly clear, showing a gradual transition. There were many tiny water droplets distributed around them, just like mist condensed together.
Such water marks are indeed not easy to see in places where the lighting is not particularly good, let alone when both parties are a little drunk.
Baichuan Qiu also squatted down and took a look.
"From this perspective, Morgana was really set up."
Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up: "Mr. Shirakawa, since the murderer chose to take the tools from here, could it be that the murderer also hid the thin wire here?"
Baichuan Qiu raised his head when he heard that and turned to look at the flower bed.
Kudo Shinichi also looked over.
The two looked at each other in understanding.
Bai Chuanqiu pointed to a spot and said softly, "The soil here looks a bit new. It must have been moved recently, right?"
Kudo Shin nodded: "Indeed."
He wrapped his handkerchief around his neck, picked up the small hoe from the tool cart next to him, and started digging the soil without hesitation.
Soon, a circle of silver-white lines appeared in front of them.
"I really found it!"
Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up, and he picked up the thin thread through the handkerchief and observed it carefully.
Judging from the thickness of this thin line, it is very consistent with the scratches on the railing!
"Looks like the case is over," Shirakawa Qiu concluded. "I can finally go back to sleep."
Kudo Shinji glanced sideways: "Mr. Shirakawa has also locked onto the target?"
Bai Chuanqiu didn't answer, but gave him a meaningful smile: "Guess?"
Kudo Shinichi: "..."
Okay, just one more question.
……
The police, having obtained new clues, finally followed the clues to identify the real murderer.
Looking at the two people in front of them, everyone fell silent.
Because the two people in front of him were Baldwin, the deceased's friend, and Mira, Morganna's friend.
This was completely unexpected.
After all, Morganna and Olivia have a hostile relationship, and almost everyone in the circle knows it. Even people who follow some entertainment reports have watched the scene of these two people pulling each other's hair.
No one expected that the two people's respective friends would actually work together to commit the crime. Not only did they kill Olivia, they also almost succeeded in framing Morgana.
Just incomprehensible.
"why is that?"
Morgana was the first to break down her defenses. Her eyes were filled with terrifying red bloodshot as she stared straight at Mira, the resentment on her face almost turning into substance.
Anyone who was almost mistaken for a murderer would feel bad. Especially since she only just realized that she had this misfortune because of her best friend.
What a good friend! How dare you take the blame for her——
Morgana stared at Mira without blinking, her breathing becoming heavier.
Everyone has reason to suspect that if Morganna had a gun at this time, she would probably have pulled it out and shot Mira.
The rest of Olivia's friends looked at Baldwin in disbelief. "Baldwin, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? Olivia treats you well, and you treat her like this?"
Neither Mira nor Baldwin spoke.
Lex stared at the two people in front of him, his face terribly gloomy, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his eyebrows.
The next moment, Morgana rushed over, pulled Mira's hair, and slapped her hard: "Fuck, damn bitch, I trusted you so much, and you dared to do this to me, I will kill you——"
"Eh--"
The police rushed over to pull her away, and even Lex had to step forward to hold Morganna back: "Stop it! Now that we've caught her, let's hand her over to the police."
"Bah!" Morgana shook off Lex's hand and pointed at Mira's nose. "Just wait and see if I kill you."
"housekeeper--"
Lex called directly to the butler: "Take your young lady back to her room."
"I won't. I'm going to tear this bitch apart today—"
The old butler looked embarrassed, but still took a step forward and walked back with Morgana supported by several maids.
Obviously, this is also what the head of the family, Green Chat, meant.
"Let me go, today I must——"
Morgana's curse was still ringing in everyone's ears, but she had been taken away, and only the sharp and harsh voice was still lingering in everyone's minds.
In comparison, everyone else's reactions were mediocre.
Even the murderer didn't show much emotion.
After Lex dealt with Morgana, he turned his gaze to the two people in front of him, his face gloomy: "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
He clicked his fingers, his tone thick with threats: "Although we really can't touch you now, don't forget that there are other people in your family."
He looked at Mira first: "If I remember correctly, you have a younger brother, right? He seems to be still in school? Do you want me to send someone to help look after him?"
The woman shuddered.
Then Lex looked at Baldwin again and said, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, I can immediately bankrupt your little family. Do you believe it?"
Baldwin also closed his eyes.
Surprisingly, the first person to speak was not Mira, who looked weak, but Baldwin.
"It was indeed me who pulled her down here," Baldwin said calmly. "I braided the fine threads into a silver bouquet and tied it into her hairpin. She was already on the second floor at the time. I called her downstairs and lured her to the spot I had prepared. Then I told her her hair was messy and asked her to fix it."
While Olivia was fixing her hair, the braided threads fell apart and the thread with small pearls tied to it fell to the first floor. Baldwin picked it up and waited for the opportunity.
When a person's hair is pulled extremely strongly, the person will subconsciously tilt his head back and shift his center of gravity backwards. Coupled with the fact that his feet slip, a normal person will really fall backwards if he is not prepared.
And because of the pulling force, there is a high probability that a person will fall headfirst.
So even though it was only a one-story height, the deceased was still "unlucky" enough to break his neck.
"Actually, Olivia and I have been lovers for a long time, but due to pressure from her side, we have never been able to be together publicly," Baldwin continued.
Everyone was stunned.
what?
The two of them?
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Baldwin.
Baldwin has a very strong sense of giving. For example, his big, shiny lips, his deliberately raised butt, his big, fluttering eyelashes like moths, and his colorful brin brin eyeshadow...
Uh, and the pink vest and white leggings...
Rather than saying they are lovers, everyone believes that Baldwin is Olivia's gay male friend.
