Chapter 45 Chapter Twenty

Out of nowhere, my eyes fell on the back of his hand, which didn't have any scars.After the murder, I paid special attention to the backs of other people's hands, probably out of a subconscious habit.Of course, I didn't doubt the idea of ​​three fools at all. However, when I was staring at the other party, this idea suddenly appeared: "Since yesterday, no matter how you ask, this person always asks three questions. Could it be because the way of asking is wrong? Recall that everyone who asked the question did not clearly indicate the time point. They did not say that the murder happened. I just asked him if he heard any sound, wouldn’t it make it impossible for people to answer? If he could clearly indicate the time, maybe he would have a different answer.”

Therefore, I resolutely decided to disclose the specific time of the incident to him. "I think the murder happened around ten thirty last night." I lowered my voice, "At that time, I seemed to hear an unusual cry coming from the bathing place. Did you notice it?" "Hey, half past ten..." Sanzao seemed to have thought of something, his expression became clearer, and he replied, "When it comes to half past ten, ah, maybe. Master, the younger one was not in the bath at that time, but just in the kitchen Supper." I couldn't help asking further, and found out that because of work, Sanzao went to bed very late, so that his meal time was later than other servants. He would wait until all the guests had taken a shower before eating.

"But it doesn't take long to eat just a meal. In such a short period of time, can a person be killed? If you think about it carefully, what kind of noise should you hear before or after eating. " "Hey, the little one didn't notice at all." "So, before you went to the kitchen and after you came back, was there anyone in the bathroom?" "As soon as you reminded me, when I came back from the kitchen, there seemed to be someone in the bathroom." "Didn't you confirm it then?" "Eh." "What time is that? Is it ten-thirty?"

"I'm not too sure about it, it should be later than half past ten." "What kind of sound is it, the sound of flushing water?" "Hey, it sounds like you're trying to flush. Only my master can flush like that." "So, the one who was in the bath at that time was the boss here?" "Well, it seems not." "It seems not, how do you know?" "The cough doesn't sound like a sir." "Then you don't recognize that voice?" "Hey, no, I think that sounds like Mr. Kono." "Huh? You said Kono, is that Mr. Kono who lives in Room 26?"

"Eh." "Hey, is what you said true? This matter is very important, are you sure that's Mr. Kono's voice?" "Hey, little one can hear clearly." Sanzao replied confidently, but it was difficult for me to judge whether this fool's words were credible.Compared with his ambiguous rhetoric at the beginning, isn't Cai Cai's words too decisive?So I inquired further and tried to sort out Sanzao's vague memory, but for some reason, he repeatedly claimed that the bather at that time was Kono, but without any conclusive evidence, he couldn't convince me after all.
