Chapter 724: Chapter 724: The Detective of Tomorrow’s Inn
The atmosphere was tense.
So avoided Bai Youwei’s gaze with a look of annoyance, while others squared off against her with justified confidence.
The n felt indignant for being suspected.
The won, on the other hand, didn’t say a word, as if they were detached from the situation.
Suddenly, the Detective spoke: “So, that’s how it is! If one is acting hastily, they wouldn’t have ti to choose a location! Hence, this note was most likely hastily stuck on. Being able to stick it at this height swiftly implies that the person who posted this note isn’t too short!”
The Detective sternly faced the n and asked, “Who placed this note here?”
Of course, no one confessed.
“Don’t outsmart yourselves,” the Detective said with a stern face. “I know the culprit is among you, I’ve noted down the suspicions.. From now on, I’ll be monitoring your actions closely. If I spot any anomalies, I will arrest you!”
The n looked on, their faces grim.
Bai Youwei pondered: It seed that as long as she provided leads to the Detective, he would automatically record the suspicions.
And when these suspicions accumulate to a certain degree, they would be deed as: Arrestable.
The reason Yan Qingwen and Lin Kui got arrested was due to the accumulation of suspicions:
1, they were seen in contact with the corpse;
2, the door and the entrance were covered in blood;
3, they were accused of being the murderer by the guests in room 405.
…
Robert suggested, “Since we are clueless now, let’s go back to the dining hall for breakfast. They only serve two als here per day, and the next one isn’t until six in the evening. So, we better eat as much as we can.”
Upon hearing this, everyone slowly returned to the dining hall.
Bai Youwei lagged behind and asked the Detective, “Detective, can I copy the note?”
The Detective looked down at Bai Youwei, “Of course. In fact, I plan to leave the note in its original place to see what the culprit is trying to do. Miss, are you trying to uncover the murderer’s plot? It’s not going to be easy.”
Bai Youwei gave a light smile, “It’s worth a try~”
“What a beautiful lady,” the Detective chuckled, “I don’t know if you are overestimating your abilities or you are really smart. Either way, I look forward to getting an answer from you. After all, this is a very complicated case, and it would be great if soone could help .”
Bai Youwei smiled, took a pen and paper from the front desk, and copied the strange ssage from the note exactly.
When she returned to the dining hall, everyone was eating breakfast.
They didn’t really care about the taste, just filling their bellies was enough. Everyone was silent, only the clattering sound of cutlery against plates could be heard in the dining hall.
Bai Youwei didn’t touch her utensils, but spread a pile of papers on the table, with a pen in hand, she scribbled, sotis stopping to think, sotis seeming to have thought of sothing and vigorously writing on the paper.
Mr. Robert, sitting diagonally across from her, asked with a smile, “You’ve been studying these Chinese characters, have any clues been found?”
“No, not yet.” Bai Youwei answered. “Yet, I want to try and study it because I am very curious… ”
She raised her head and looked at Robert and the others sitting near Robert, and asked:
“Aren’t you all curious? I reckon only the criminal wouldn’t be curious.”
People were getting agitated by her words.
But Robert didn’t lose his temper, he squinted his eyes and said, “Miss, you are very humorous.”
“No, not at all.” Bai Youwei responded modestly with a smile. “I truly thought so. Because only the murderer would know the aning of these ssages, right? The murderer wouldn’t need to rack their brains thinking like , and they wouldn’t be curious about the content on the note. Mr Robert, don’t you feel curious about the aning behind the words on the note?”
