Chapter 41 This is my duty.
The detective did not shy away from taking a closer look, and quickly confirmed the traces on Ronald's body.
Immediately, he nodded and admitted:
"It was indeed caused by outdoor activities, and it lasted for at least one day." "
But this does not prove that you were wearing the same clothes when the crime happened again." "
After all, if you have been prepared, this is Something that can be forged."
"Mr. Swift!"
Ronald raised his voice and immediately retorted:
"I told you, don't question innocent passengers as prisoners!" "
According to you, the entire train Who else would, without suspicion, carry an unclothed baby in a pregnant woman's belly?"
"."
"Okay, I apologize."
"But this is what my profession brings."
Hear Ronald's retort , Swift was silent for a few seconds before choosing to apologize, and then continued:
"Next question."
"I heard that there is another passenger besides you in this box."
"Do you know his whereabouts?"
The most important thing is The inquiry has arrived!
Passengers in other carriages are asked this question. As long as they answer honestly, nothing will happen to them.
But Ronald is different!
Nessos, a guy who concealed his real name and also disguised his gender and appearance, used the identity of a merchant. It
probably existed in reality, but there were definitely problems!
If Ronald didn't want to get into trouble, he would have to cut ties with this guy.
This matter
is very difficult.
The ticket in my hand is the entire ticket for the private room in this carriage. This means that the entire private room belongs to Ronald, the ticket holder, and others cannot ride without permission.
The facts are before our eyes.
Nessos spent a lot of time on the train with him.
So there must be a connection with yourself.
The answer at this moment was very important -
he deliberately raised his hand to touch his chin, and after sorting out his words in thought, Ronald spoke:
"The passenger's name is Nassos, and he claims to be a merchant."
Swift was very keen and immediately He noticed Ronald's wording and cast a suspicious look:
"Are you saying that this gentleman named Nassos 'claims' to be a merchant?" "
That's right." Ronald nodded, "Self-proclaimed." "
"That Nessus and I just met by chance. I have never even heard of his name in the past, and naturally I don't know much about his profession, so I can only treat his self-introduction as 'self-proclaimed'." "
. "
The sharp eyes collided in the quiet car.
Swift stared into Ronald's eyes, as if trying to find something in them.
But facing Ronald's unwavering gray pupils.
After staring for a few seconds, he gave up.
Swift took out a small notebook and charcoal pen from his jacket pocket, and began to write on it:
"Okay, let me tell you more about Mr. Hongshang."
"Did you buy the tickets together?"
"No." Ronald shook his head and denied. "To be more precise, after I revealed my aristocratic status, Mr. Nessos, who bought the ticket, showed his kindness to me and then took the initiative to invite me to travel together."
" Even before getting off the bus, he gave me the ticket for free."
"."
Visibly to the naked eye, the end of Swift's charcoal pencil stopped shaking.
The stagnant wrist dragged Xiao Ben, and the pensive detective was thinking about Ronald's words.
About four or five seconds passed before he continued to speak:
"When did this Nessos get off the bus?"
"When I passed through the first town this morning."
He answered the other party simply, Ronald still hadn't Forgot to add:
"Before that, I washed my face with Nessos, and the guards in the car also saw it."
Swift continued to ask:
"Then you separated?"
Ronald nodded:
"That's right, I was the only one left when we returned to the carriage."
Snap -
with a slight push of his fingertips, Swift closed the small book he used to record clues.
He took a puff of the pipe and then frowned and continued:
"Mr. Ronald, I can tell from the conversation just now that you are a smart man." "
So."
"You should know the meaning of your answer. What are you talking about?"
"Of course." Ronald nodded generously, "The answer just now undoubtedly deepens the possibility of me being suspected."
Swift was still puzzled:
"Then why did you..."
"Because Rather than using lies to protect yourself, I hope that you, the detective, can get the most accurate information, and then investigate the truth and announce it to everyone." "
As a nobleman loyal to Her Majesty the Queen."
"This It's my duty."
"."
Ronald wasn't sure whether his words, which didn't come from the bottom of his heart, had any effect. After all, this detective named Swift was very good at concealing certain details.
Just like now -
after listening to Ronald's statement, Swift just lowered his face and thought for a moment, and then stretched out his right hand:
"Okay, thank you very much."
"Then next, I hope Mr. Ronald You can stay in the carriage and don't move around at will."
"If nothing else, I will bother you again after a while."
Ronald stretched out his hand to hold the other person and shook it vigorously:
"I am happy to help."
After the brief inquiry, Swift Te immediately turned and left the train compartment.
Behind him, the young guard helped close the compartment door.
Snap -
the door closed, and the lights on the train aisle were also isolated.
This small space fell back into the silent night, with only starlight shining through the car window into the seat on the chair, casting a wisp of white in front of Ronald.
"."
He leaned against the train wall behind him.
Ronald waved towards the table in front of him.
The black mist transformed from the crime of 'rape' emerged from it, and then hid inside the clothes along the cuffs.
"Huh--"
After the second inquiry, Ronald let out a long sigh of relief.
But this is not a relaxation after letting go, but a move to be more alert to the current situation.
The direction Swift came from just now
was at the other end of the civilian carriage.
Let’s not talk about the questioning skills displayed by the other party when negotiating.
Just by listening to the movements of the people around him when he appeared on the train, you can understand that this Mr. Detective must enjoy a lot of fame in Burrenwich.
People with such good economic conditions will not take the civilian carriages on the train.
I had never heard any noise caused by his appearance before.
From this, a simple inference can be drawn.
Within more than three hours when the Dongfeng stopped, someone on the train notified Burrenwich, a hundred kilometers away, and the detective accepted the job and rushed over.
First, the soldiers forced the train to stop, and then invited a famous detective from a hundred kilometers away.
Make him travel starry and night to the suburban railway.
What a huge event happened on this steam train named Dongfeng!
