The Whispering Verses Chapter 1293: Closing argument

Chapter 1293 Closing Arguments

After half a minute of silence, Mr. Henry Mafal, who kept wiping his sweat, finally couldn't help but said:

"Okay, I admit it."

"Huh?"

This time it was Shade's turn to be surprised, because the murderer was not the gentleman who just invited him to play cards.

"I admit that when I went to that corridor, I actually asked the **** a date. Yes, I actually had a childhood sweetheart, but my father always wanted to arrange my marriage. At home, I never took the initiative to refute I can't obey any of my father's instructions, but only this thing, only this thing."

He seemed to have collapsed, covering his face and crying, and then suddenly said loudly:

"Oh, I love you, Emily, yes, I love you, now I want to say this, tomorrow I will go to you to propose, I can't stand this kind of hiding anymore."

"Emily" was also in the corridor at the time and was one of the insiders. At this time, the sound was heard from the small study room across the door, and the girl with light yellow hair also ran over crying, and the two hugged each other tightly.

"Is this a scandal?"

Xia De asked Agelina, and Her Royal Highness the Princess thought about it:

"For the Mafal family, Emily Churchill is just the daughter of a baron, and this marriage will not be blessed."

Xia De nodded, stretched out a finger and shook it at the little princess. The latter naturally knew what it meant, and now there was only the last one left.

"In this way, Mr. Mafal's suspicion will be cleared. As long as we get the correspondence between him and Miss Emily Churchill, we can be sure that what he said is true. So, two people"

Following Shade's words, people's eyes moved to the two remaining people on the sofa again. The valet looked in surprise at Raphael Birmingham, who was wearing a black tuxedo on the other side of the sofa. The handsome aristocratic young man took the lead. Taking a step forward, he pointed to the valet with a surprised expression:

"It's really true. How could the Duke's son commit such a horrific murder!"

This clearly refers to Mr. Mafal, who has basically been cleared of suspicion, but it actually refers to himself.

The arrogant butler George Wayne looked at the finger pointed at him in surprise, stammering and wanting to explain but not knowing how to prove himself. He looked at Sha De for help, but found that Sha De was also looking at him seriously:

"Mr. George Venn, why did you appear in that corridor?"

The detective's sharp gaze made his scalp tingle, as if those eyes were shining directly into his soul. The valet shrank his head:

"I, I"

Such a stern questioning and the detective's fierce momentum directly caused his spirit to fall into a brief confusion. At this moment, the closed door was hurriedly opened, and Tifa, wearing a black and white maid dress, walked in using Shade's coat and holding an orange-white cat that was poking its head.

The small cat seemed quite uneasy about this place. It wasn't until he saw Shade that he barked and scurried over. It was not easy to get this cat out of the house, even if Tifa was allowed to go, it was almost impossible, so Shade asked Tifa to bring her coat, and then Mia also came to Yodel Palace.

"Look, my detective assistant is back with another assistant. Good job, Miss Servit."

He said to Tifa with a smile. The black-haired girl pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, and then stood behind Shade again.

Xia De, holding the cat, asked the people behind him:

"Have you heard of all the rumors about me?"

Senior Superintendent Mr. Johnson suddenly realized:

“That cat that’s better than a police dog? I mentioned it from Hamilton. I mean, my daughter was reading Hamilton.”

Dorothy's Detective Story is currently the best-selling and most popular popular novel. Even the sales of "Steambird Daily" have tripled and opened up more distribution areas. Of course, people know that the stories in detective novels contain fictional elements, but most people think that the majority of them are true.

Therefore, the cats in the story who often play a huge role - the patch that Dorothy uses to fill in the ring wizard's abilities that cannot be written out - really have extraordinary abilities in the eyes of readers.

"Okay, since the manservant George Vane doesn't want to admit it. Come on, Mia, smell it."

Shad asked someone to bring the murder weapon and let Mia smell it. If anyone else did this, they would definitely be considered crazy, but everyone thought it was appropriate for Shade to do it, because in stories and rumors, he relied on this cat's sensitive sense of smell to solve one weird and confusing mystery after another. case. The significance of Dorothy's story lies not only in her personal significance, but also in making Shade not the best, but the most famous detective of this era.

"Meow~"

The cat held by Shade was forced to sniff the murder weapon with a look of disgust on his face, and then Shade led it towards the two people on the sofa. The valet took a deep breath and stopped talking, while the young and handsome Mr. Raphael Birmingham, after not being obviously flustered, pointed at Shade in disbelief and said:

"Wait, you actually trust the judgment of a cat? No, that's not fair, I refuse to let that cat get close to me!"

"But that cat did solve a lot of puzzles, and I saw that in the story of 'The Missing Third Coin' that Detective Hamilton solved. Oh, and I saw that when Detective Hamilton and I first met."

Princess Agelina smiled and said that the "first meeting" refers to the time when she and her friends used tortoise shells to divine fortune in the Seer Association and ended up getting injured.

Her words were echoed by others.

"Yes, I also read it in the article about 'Old Man Living Alone'."

The **** attendant sent by His Majesty the King to oversee the progress of the case also said.

The corners of Little Birmingham's mouth trembled:

"Are you crazy? It's just a detective story. How can you believe it?"

Seeing Shade getting closer and closer, he stood up:

"Even if you bring a police dog, it will be better than this. No, I don't accept this result!"

"What result? I haven't made a judgment yet."

Xia De asked seriously. The young man subconsciously wanted to retreat, but then realized that he was standing in front of the sofa.

Shad pointed the cat at the manservant, but the cat didn't react. So he pointed the cat at Raphael Birmingham again, but the cat still had no reaction.

Shade quietly poked its butt.

"Meow~"

Mia immediately screamed and turned around to scratch Shade.

Xia De’s eyes became sharp:

"Mr. Birmingham, I didn't expect it was really you. Why did you want to murder Daniel Philip?"

Seeing such a result, everyone looked at Mr. Raphael Birmingham with scrutiny, and the latter opened his mouth wide:

"How is this possible?! This is crazy! I can't let a cat wrong me, no, I won't accept it!"

"You can't explain why you're in the hallway!"

"In exchange for gifts!"

"You have no witnesses!"

"That's because this matter cannot be known to others!"

"Everyone else has a legitimate reason!"

"Not that valet!"

"You have been acting strange since just now!"

"I have always been normal!"

"I bet you'll be haunted by the victim's ghost!"

"You actually cursed me!"

"My cat has smelled the blood on your right hand!"

"Obviously left."

He was stunned for a moment, and the rapid exchange of words between the two parties made him subconsciously say something extraordinary.

"Left what?"

Xia De tilted his head slightly and looked at him with his left eye widened.

"Oh?"

People also understood, and Mr. Birmingham opened his mouth even wider:

"I, you, I, you, you"

Seeing this, Shade threw the cat to Tifa behind him, but Mr. Birmingham had already rushed up with his fist:

"You **** a**"

He said bad words.

"If you have read "Hamilton Detective Stories", you should at least know that I am good at flying cards and fighting. Unfortunately, Miss Louisa did not make this up."

Shad raised his hand to push away his fist, and bumped forward sideways, causing the charging Birmingham to lose his balance and fall backwards. Then he suddenly raised his leg and hit his abdomen with his knee. While the latter howled from his throat, he took his hand and turned around to do a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw——

Bang!

Pa bang bang~

Applause rang out and the truth of the case was found out. Apart from the wailing murderer on the floor, only little Mia was very dissatisfied with this. Even lying in Tifa's arms, it was still dissatisfied.

"What about you, tell the truth, what on earth were you doing in that corridor?"

Shad did not forget to ask the valet who had cleared his suspicions. The latter looked at Mr. Birmingham lying on the floor, hunched over and wailing, and swallowed subconsciously:

"I say! I say! I went to peek at the guests at the banquet, and I heard that several very beautiful ladies also came."

Although the suspicion has been cleared, his job has been lost. I hope that the number of **** attendants in Yodel Palace will not increase by one for this reason.

"But we still don't know what the motive was."

Agelina watched this scene with interest and said, Shade then pulled Mr. Birmingham up, grabbed his collar and asked:

"What's the motive?"

"Damn you."

"Your Highness, he said that he fell in love with Daniel Philip. But the latter did not accept this immoral love and rejected him tonight, which made him angry and killed someone. Let's use this as the closing argument. , the key is to end this case quickly, and using this kind of tidbits to attract the public’s attention will prevent anyone from paying attention to the place where the case occurred.”

"Oh, you **** devil! Are you considered a famous detective? You can't tarnish the reputation of the Birmingham family! I killed him because he knew that I had a lover outside and wanted to use this to blackmail me into withdrawing from the pursuit. Your Highness Agelina! I was so angry that I lost my mind. Oh, my God, what have I done?”

Birmingham, who was choked by his collar, cried as he spoke.

Shad let go of his collar and let him lie on the ground crying.

I wiped my hands with a handkerchief, turned around and said to the little princess:

"Look, Your Highness, the case is closed. I think we can report this matter to His Majesty. In tomorrow's newspaper, we can set aside the smallest corner to explain this case as appropriate. But the truth is best not to be known to the public too much. "More."

Agelina Cavendish looked at him with a flushed face:

"Very well, Knight, you did a great job, it was definitely the most interesting"

"Ahem."

"I mean the most unforgettable birthday party."
