Chapter 26 Going Deeper Step by Step

Listening to the familiar sob, Lu Yuan and Su Mei looked at each other, and finally chose to knock on the door of the servant's room one by one.

When he heard the knock on the door, the crying slowly stopped. Finally, Mary, who was covered in tears, was stunned when she saw Lu Yuan and Su Mei outside the door, and then plunged into Lu Yuan's arms and started crying.

It took Lu Yuan and Su Mei a long time to soothe Mary, and then asked carefully why Mary was crying. Only when she heard Mary pursing her lips and slowly told what had happened in the past two days. : :

"Do you still remember? At noon the day before yesterday, I took the sapphire and wanted to find you, and handed the gem to Cynthia or you as a gift. But after you refused, I brought the gem back to the Viscount's mansion with me, and planned to show my wife and ask her to estimate the price."

"But when I went to find my wife, I learned that I had been transferred from her wife and became an ordinary maid."

Lu Yuan and Su Mei looked at each other and felt the wisdom of the viscountess at the same time.

The viscountess may have locked up the prisoner of his gem necklace, but it may be that he did not want to be this evil person, so he entrusted Miss Ke Yao to give this family scandal a relatively decent end. However, he happened to be intercepted by himself and Su Mei, and used Oriental Magic to retrieve the gem necklace and protected Miss Mary well.

Although the Viscountess was satisfied with her final treatment, even though the culprit Mary did not fire her, she was not relieved of her continued serving her side, so she transferred Mary away from her side, which was a very serious exile for the maid.

"What then?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Then I couldn't see my wife, so I took the gem and looked for Butler David. Butler David said he would hand over the gem to his wife, but when I asked again yesterday, Butler David cursed me and said that the gem was just a piece of blue glass. Therefore, he was scolded by the wife. I wanted to get back the gem, but the butler told me that he had thrown away the gem." Mary cried.

Su Mei pursed her lips: "Hey! Is this the reason why you cry?"

Mary shook her head vigorously: "No, no, what I cried was the sudden disappearance of the lady."

"It's all my fault. First, I secretly took away my wife's gem necklace, which made her worried. Then she used a fake gem to fool her. The wife must have been so angry that she was so angry."

Su Mei looked at Lu Yuan, thought for a while, and then asked Mary: "You haven't seen the Viscountess again these two days, are you?"

"Well." Mary nodded with tears in her eyes: "Then I heard about the disappearance of the Viscountess."

"So, is the Viscountess feeling uncomfortable these two days?" Su Mei continued to ask.

"I don't know very well, but Dr. Conton came here last night," said Mary.

"Doctor Condon?" Su Mei asked.

"Doctor Condon is a private doctor in the Viscount's Mansion. Usually, he will invite him to come if he has any headaches and fevers in the mansion. Although he is not a skilled doctor, he is very good at treating some common diseases." Mary said with tears in her eyes.

"So do you know where the lady feels uncomfortable?" Su Mei continued to ask.

"Then I don't know much about it. I have to find Dr. Conton." Mary shook her head.

"So do you know the address of Dr. Condon?" Lu Yuan asked.

Mary nodded, then picked up the paper and pen from her hand, wrote the address of Dr. Condon for Lu Yuan and Su Mei, and then Su Mei carefully put the address away, and then said to Mary: "Can you let me see your boots?"

Mary was very confused, but she still took out her boots. Lu Yuan and Su Mei looked at it and found that the footprints were completely different from those in the garden, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Viscountess may have been taken away from the room, but it is not only confirmed." Lu Yuan said, "We are here to find you, don't tell anyone for the time being."

"Do you understand?"

Mary nodded vigorously.

After giving this advice, Lu Yuan and Su Mei temporarily bid farewell to Mary. Because time is limited, they cannot waste too much time here.

"That footprint cannot be a woman's footprint, because it's too big and very masculine leather boots." Su Mei said: "But the end of the footprint does not extend beyond the garden, but the servant's room."

"Most of the servants employed in the Viscount's Mansion are women, and there are almost a handful of men."

"So." Lu Yuan looked at Su Mei: "Do you suspect this person is David's housekeeper?"

Butler David is a rare male in the Viscount's mansion, and because Viscount Delaney himself was not in the mansion for a long time, butler David is basically the most suspicious.

"Yes." Su Mei nodded: "But I can't think of the reason why Butler David did this."

"Where is Butler David now?" Lu Yuan asked.

"He should be dealing with the police officer." Su Mei said: "So what do you want to do?"

Lu Yuan looked at Su Mei: "Of course it's a detective investigation."

...

...

The two of them are now familiar with detective work and are gradually realizing why all policemen don’t like detectives.

Because the detective's investigation is more inclined to interests, he adopts various unconventional means, that is, with Ke Yao, a senior detective who is more trusted by the police, he will have this and that convenience.

How do you say something?

A detective's degree of destruction to a crime scene is far better than an experienced gangster.

Butler David's room was a very bookish room. Everything was neatly visited, and there was a faint perfume to cover up the white people's body odor. Lu Yuan and Su Mei searched carefully in his room separately. Su Mei suddenly heard a low scream. Lu Yuan looked at Su Mei, but saw Su Mei slowly took out a pair of wet leather boots from Butler David's shoe cabinet.

The soles of the boots were covered with black viscous soil, and you could tell at a glance that it was the soil belonging to the small garden.

In other words, butler David really arrived at the small garden after twelve o'clock last night.

"We'll go find Miss Ke Yao now!" Lu Yuan said.

Su Mei nodded and put the boots back into the shoe cabinet. It was not because Su Mei didn't want to bring this key evidence, but because the shoes were too big and dirty, it was inconvenient to carry them with her.
