Volume 1: The Gate of Flesh and Blood Chapter 64 You are the murderer!
Goethe was startled.
Almost subconsciously, Goethe looked in the direction of the scream.
kitchen!
Frowning, Goethe walked over.
Then he saw a body with a sunken back of the head and the brain bursting out, lying face down in a pool of blood.
The surroundings were in chaos.
“Call the police! Call the police!”
"Call the police!"
"Everyone, stay in your seats!"
"Let's wait for the police!"
Amid the screams, a fat man in chef's clothes shouted loudly.
This loud shout gradually calmed the panicked crowd.
And soon, the police showed up.
It's an acquaintance.
Lanster and Kudzu root.
When Goethe saw the two men, the two men also saw Goethe.
Ge Gen's eyes lit up almost instantly, and he took two steps at a time and came to Goethe.
"Why are you here?"
Ge Gen questioned.
"Obviously, eating."
Goethe pointed to the restaurant sign behind him.
"Have a meal?"
"You came to eat, and a murder happened here. Is it such a coincidence?"
Ge Gen looked unconvinced.
"It's just a coincidence."
"Although I don't believe in coincidences, sometimes things just happen so suddenly - you can ask the waiter and the guests in the restaurant. I just opened the door and heard screams."
Goethe sighed helplessly.
Goethe was really helpless at this time.
He really just wanted to avoid the 'blood-replenishing soup' Maria made and have a simple meal.
"You better not lie!"
Ge Gen said viciously.
Then, the sheriff's partner took the patrol officer to question the situation at that time.
And soon, there were results.
What Goethe said is true.
Immediately, Ge Gen seemed deflated.
"Don't be prejudiced. Calmness will help you."
Lanster patted his partner on the shoulder, then walked towards Goethe with a smile on his face.
"We meet again, Mr. Marple."
"If possible , I don't want to see you."
Goethe answered this while looking past Lanster and at Gegen who was questioning the people on the scene. He was able to quickly confirm that what Goethe said was true. Besides Gegen's strong action ability, it was also because it was not really meal time at this time, so there were not many guests, only six people including Goethe.
One of the couples was a couple in love, and the lady’s scream just now was still fresh in people’s memory.
At this moment, her face was still pale, and she spoke intermittently under the constant comfort of the man next to her.
"I, I heard screams in the kitchen, and then I ran over and saw the body."
"That body is horrible."
As she spoke, the lady began to sob again.
"Who discovered the body first?"
Ge Gen asked.
"It's me!"
A male waiter raised his hand.
"Because the restaurant was about to open, but the chef hadn't announced today's specials yet, so I went to the kitchen to find the chef, but the door was locked from the inside. I knocked on the door several times but no one answered, so I told the sous chef about it, and finally, the sous chef decided to break the door."
"Then……"
"I saw the body of Mr. Chef."
At this point, the male waiter swallowed.
Undoubtedly, seeing the corpse was not a pleasant experience for this person.
“Who’s the sous chef?”
Gegen inquired.
"I!"
The fat chef who was in charge of the situation came over and confirmed what the waiter said.
"Why don't you use the key to open the door?"
Ge Gen asked.
"I can't find my key. It's usually hung here, but I couldn't find it just now!"
The deputy chef pointed to the wall nearby.
There was a hook for hanging keys, but at this moment, it was empty.
"oh?"
Ge Gen grasped the key point, and then began to question the remaining people one by one.
Including three other waiters and four other guests.
Basically everyone said the same thing as the first male waiter, that they all heard the scream, rushed to the kitchen, and saw the chef's body.
When everyone had finished asking questions, Ge Gen clapped his hands.
"Now, everyone stand still, we're going to search you!"
The situation now is very clear. Whoever has the key is the murderer.
Everyone was searched one by one.
Including Goethe.
But nothing was found.
No one had the key.
Then--
"Sheriff, Deputy, here are the keys!"
A patrolman who was checking suddenly shouted.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the scene, and then they saw the turned-over body and the key held in the hand.
"this?!"
Ge Gen was a little dumbfounded.
If the deceased took the key, how did the murderer leave the locked room?
Ge Gen had just checked the door lock. Without the key, it was impossible to lock it from the outside.
"Before breaking into the door, it was locked, but the key was in the deceased's hand. That means... unless the murderer can walk through the wall, there is no way he can leave the kitchen!"
Suddenly a voice was heard.
They are the guests other than the couple, and these four guests are traveling together.
Goethe looked over.
There were four people in the other party's group. Except for the young man who had just spoken, who was sitting, the remaining three sturdy middle-aged people were standing with the young man as the center of the circle - the three people's standing positions were very particular, one stood upright behind him, and the other two were on the left and right. Moreover, they all stood sideways to maximize their field of vision.
bodyguard!
Goethe confirmed the identities of the three people immediately.
Then, curiosity flashed in his eyes.
He brought three bodyguards with him to eat, he is not an ordinary person.
The clothes and gold watch chain that looked like they were worth a fortune also expressed this point.
Facing Goethe's gaze, the young man responded with a smile.
Ge Gen, who was standing aside, frowned.
Another idle rich kid!
The deputy sheriff commented in his heart.
Then, he said in a very affirmative tone.
"It is impossible to walk through walls in this world."
"The murderer must have left the kitchen in a way we don't know about. Maybe there is a secret passage in the kitchen!"
Then, he ordered his men to begin another detailed search.
The result was naturally nothing.
Goethe glanced at the deputy sheriff who was doing useless work and couldn't help shaking his head.
"Mr. Marple, have you found anything?"
"In your novel 'Into the Wild', the demon hunter Sherlock Holmes is a very observant person. I believe that you, who can write such a character, must also have keen observation skills, right?"
Lanster, who had been paying attention to Goethe, immediately noticed Goethe's actions.
The sheriff asked immediately.
At the same time, the other party's voice did not lower.
Therefore, almost everyone in the restaurant heard it.
The eyes of the guests and waiters were immediately focused on Goethe.
You know, in Hessetings these days, the name Poirot Marple has become famous.
This guy did it on purpose!
Goethe looked at Lanst, and the sheriff was still smiling.
"I have no ill intentions. As a reader of Wild Adventures, I just hope that the author can be as magical as the characters he writes about!"
When the other party said this, his face was full of anticipation.
This is undoubtedly acting.
As for why the other party did this?
Maybe he wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
More likely it was an attempt to diminish his reputation.
His growing fame was not a good thing for those who were still keeping a close eye on him.
Look at the reporters who were blocked outside the door. They were noisy before but now they are all quiet and staring at him!
If he makes a fool of himself, these reporters will show no mercy.
Even before, they had a good relationship.
However, he was destined to disappoint the other party.
"The author and the characters he writes about are not the same. Just as an author likes food, but the characters he writes about may not be interested in food at all, I am not the same as the characters I write about."
Goethe said modestly.
Lanster still had a smiling face.
"Yeah?"
"This is so disappointing, I thought..."
“But I still found something.”
Before Lanster could finish his words, he was interrupted by Goethe.
Under the other party's gaze, Goethe walked up to a waiter and pointed at him.
"You are the murderer!"
