Chapter 190 Good news and bad news
Deidara felt as if a hand grabbed him when he was about to fall into hell. He had never heard such a beautiful knock on the door.
"Miss Eva, please pause."
"It's all up to you." Eva felt that the only way she could vent her dissatisfaction was when the boy outside the door was cut into pieces.
Deidara opened the door, and there was Annick standing at the door, still holding the white paper he put on the door.
"I didn't disturb your good things, did I?" Annick said with a teasing smile.
"If you come later, maybe we can heat up the situation further." Deidara did not forget to comfort Eva next to him.
"Then I'll borrow it for a little while. As you know, our two sisters want to consult on how to transfer to your academy." Annick followed Deidara's instructions and told him once.
"The procedure is a bit complicated, let's take a step to discuss it in detail." After speaking, Deidara decisively put on the coat he had just taken off.
"Then let's go."
The two left, leaving Eva alone in the lounge.
"Bang!" Eva smashed the champagne in her hand.
"There's an accident. How about I get rid of this witch in advance?" Cornell said to himself after seeing the scene while hiding in the shadows.
Just as Eva was about to put on her coat and go out, Connell came up to her.
"Geez, how can this professor repeatedly reject the most beautiful lady in Eggsburg?"
"Huh?" Eva stopped and looked carefully at the middle-aged man in front of her, who was the official host of the dinner.
"Ma'am, do you mind if we find a quiet place to talk?" Cornell leaned forward, put his left arm on his chest, and extended his right arm in a gesture of invitation.
Are you taking a fancy to me? I didn’t get to eat the old-fashioned professor tonight. It would be a good idea to change my prey. I heard that this gentleman is quite rich, Eva thought.
"Of course I don't mind. I think it's great here."
"Then I'll close the door and talk in detail. The night will be long tonight."
Connell hugged Eva and closed the door.
"Let's go back, it's getting late." Annick looked at his pocket watch. It was ten o'clock in the evening. Cornell, the host of this dinner, was not here, so his subordinates took on the task of seeing off the guests.
"Okay, Mr. Parker, let's go."
Captain Parker looked at a place in Cornell's mansion. He didn't react until Irena called her mentor. "It's really interesting. Are you going back now? Let's go."
Annick didn't understand what the captain saw. Maybe there was some personal secret?
After helping the two sisters onto the carriage, Annick also climbed into the carriage and prepared to leave.
"Thank you, junior, for escaping tonight." Deidara walked over and said close to him.
"It's nothing. If this Ms. Eva is serious, senior you can consider it."
"talk later."
If she can still see the sun tomorrow, Deidara added in his mind.
On the morning of the last Monday in October, while Annick was fishing in the clerk's room, Captain Parker knocked on the door. After seeing himself there, he said:
"One good news and one bad news. Let me tell you the good news first."
Actually, I want to hear the bad news first, "What's the good news?"
"The murder of the butcher last week has been solved. The murderer was found opposite the Cornell mansion of the business tycoon we went to last night."
So fast? Annick had a bad feeling.
"The bad news isn't that the murderer is dead."
"Just the bad news, Connell and Eva are also dead."
Huh? Annick calmed down and heard the message.
"You mean the host who invited us and the widow known as the witch last night?"
"The dead are the most important, you should call me Mrs. Eva." Captain Parker corrected.
"Okay, why are they dead?"
"I received news this morning that two people died in the same room. It was initially determined that one was poisoned and the other suffered a heart attack. Moreover, the conditions of death of the two people were different, so it was judged that they did not die from a poison."
Poison? This is something Annick didn’t expect.
"How did the murderer of the coachman die?"
"He died of suffocation. The strangest thing is that there were no strangulation marks on his neck and no external injuries on his body."
There are no marks or external injuries? Could it be poison again, or even supernatural power?
"I think we need to ask a little black man to help with this case." Annick estimated that the complexity of this case exceeded the limit that one branch could handle.
"The Ryde District Police Department has asked us to assist."
"As long as we are not left to shoulder the blame."
"Three people died over there, one with a gun and two influential people. They couldn't throw them at us this time."
"Then let's go take a look?"
"Let's go, the car in Ryde District is still outside."
It took half an hour to arrive in front of Cornell's mansion. The gate of the mansion and the hotel opposite were cordoned off, and several patrol officers were asking about the situation.
"Captain Parker, I've been waiting for you for a long time." A tall, round man stretched out his hand and shook it. Annick noticed that there were two silver stars on the shoulders of this man who barely stuffed himself in a blue police coat.
Star, same level as the captain.
"Long time no see, Captain Torre, how's the on-site investigation going?"
"It's not good. The hotel owner who discovered the suspect upstairs died of a heart attack this morning."
"Kill and silence?" Annick blurted out without even thinking.
"Who is this?" Torre obviously did not expect that a subordinate would interrupt his speech.
"Oh, our clerk was invited to the dinner party at the latest, and this guy is very clever. He solved several of our major cases."
After watching the captain introduce himself, Annick had to say: "Hello, Chief Torre, I am Annick, the clerk of the Port Branch."
"Oh, you are the broom star everyone promotes in Gonia." Torre obviously also knows his nickname.
"Yes, that's me. Do you mind if we go to the Kaikai Inn? I feel that the cause of the innkeeper's death was not such a simple heart attack."
"This way."
Across the cordon, a man in a white coat wearing gloves was inspecting the body of the hotel owner at the front desk.
"Good morning, Mr. Forensic Medical Examiner, what's going on with the body?" Annick greeted the medical examiner.
"You are? Forget it, it doesn't matter. Four people died this morning. I'm very busy now."
"Maybe I can help." Annick gestured.
"Okay, come and take a look."
In front of the forensic doctor was a middle-aged corpse, with his eyes closed and his teeth biting his lips. His right hand clutched his chest, showing a very painful death.
"heart disease?"
"Yes, at least it looks like it."
"Have the patrol officers asked anyone around here? If the boss has a heart disease, the people around him should know about it."
"Not yet. The strange thing is that after searching all the drawers, there is no medicine in them."
