Chapter 28 David's Covetousness

"No, I say, I say." David collapsed to the ground, swaying his hands.

"I really did nothing, I really did nothing."

"That's how it is."

As he said this, David talked in detail about what he saw and heard last night.

"I would go out to patrol every night to see if the mansion was invaded." David said to Officer Kui. Su Mei kept silence when she heard his words, but she continued to listen.

"At about 11 o'clock in the evening, when I walked through the backyard and was about to return to my room, I found that the wife's room on the second floor of the main house was on, and the paging was also on, and a figure was standing there..."

"I'll just say that the lady was taken away!" Officer Jones said excitedly after hearing this.

"No, no!" Butler David waved his hands repeatedly: "It was a very terrible figure, or it was not a human at all. It was a bloated and terrible human-shaped monster with a pothole-filled lump. I saw its huge arms stretching forward, as if looking for something, and at the same time I heard the roar of a beast."

"I tried to lift the lamp to shine it, and to find that its body reflected the light of the lamp like glass."

"I thought I had encountered a nightmare, so I rolled and crawled back, so I was still in shock and didn't clean my boots."

David said, "That's all I've hidden, I'm really not doing anything to my wife."

Jones looked at David maliciously: "Then let me ask first, why did you not sleep until eleven o'clock in the evening?"

"I..." David couldn't speak for a moment, and then muttered: "I'm trying to see if the mansion has entered the thief."

"So can anyone prove that Butler David inspected very late every night?" Su Mei asked.

The servants around looked at each other, and at this time they no longer trusted Housekeeper David.

"No, Butler David falls asleep before nine o'clock every day."

"He also lets everyone in the house fall asleep before nine o'clock, which can save money on lamp oil."

“I can prove it too.”

David was completely sank on the ground in the servant's words.

"What else do you have to say?" Officer Jones sneered: "Anyway, come back to the police station with me, and I will take out everything you know."

"No, no!" said the housekeeper loudly, "I said, I said, the reason I would walk in the house late at night was because I forged the letter of authorization of the Viscount's Viscount, so that I could obtain a portion of the money for this house to transfer to my name."

He lowered his head and said his crime: "But, but I really have nothing to do with the disappearance of my wife."

Lu Yuan and Su Mei looked at David who was desperate and didn't know what to say for a moment.

And - they already had their own guesses about the disappearance of the wife.

But like David said that terrible experiences and experiences like dreams, no one would regard these as real.

So Lu Yuan and Su Mei can't say anything.

"Anyway, thank you Miss Ke Yao and your assistant for your help." Officer Kui stood up: "It's getting late, let's just get here."

As he said this, Officer Kui waved his hand and asked the police to withdraw the team, while Lu Yuan looked at David: "Butler David..."

David looked at Lu Yuan resentfully. Lu Yuan originally wanted to ask about the gem, but looked at David's eyes and finally shook his head and gave up.

Finally, Lu Yuan and Su Mei and Ke Yao returned to the detective office together in the carriage from the Viscount's Mansion.

...

...

After returning to the warm and pleasant office, Ke Yao set up a fireplace and brought Lu Yuansumei black tea and snacks.

The black tea squirted slightly in the small ceramic-printed tea cup, and the crimson liquid exuded an attractive fragrance.

There is nothing in this world that warms the hearts of warm and delicious black tea when you sit down after running around for a long time, and after running around like this humid and cold Beckland.

"It's really thanks to you today." Miss Ke Yao said with a smile.

"It's just a duty." Lu Yuan shook his head.

"It's already amazing to be able to find Butler David." Ke Yao said: "It's like I've never thought before that Butler David was actually a potential murderer."

As he said this, Ke Yao paused: "After all, Butler David has served the Viscount's Mansion for many years. The Viscountess has praised his loyalty and competence in front of me more than once."

"This." Lu Yuan looked at Miss Ke Yao: "There is a saying I don't know whether to say it or not."

"What do you mean?" asked Miss Ke Yao.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, then looked at Miss Ke Yao and said, "Actually, I don't think Housekeeper David is the murderer."

"Actually, I feel the same way, because he has no motivation." Miss Ke Yao said: "What can kidnapping the Viscountess bring to him? Besides, where did he hide the Viscountess?"

"But no matter what, the suspicion of Butler David is undoubtedly the greatest."

"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded: "He is the most suspicious person, because he was the only person to come under the window on the eve of the Viscountess' disappearance, but I really care about the words that Butler David said."

"Are those words like dreams?" Miss Ke Yao asked back, pushing the black tea in front of Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan thanked him, then picked up the tea cup to moisten his throat, and then took a piece of creamy thousand-layer cake.

Let’s not talk about the other things, and talking about the taste of the black tea and the cream pancake, Lu Yuan and Su Mei almost forgot that this is a false world created by a bronze door, and everyone, including Miss Ke Yao, is an NPC.

But all this is too real, and Lu Yuan never can do anything to make it happen. He truly regards Miss Ke Yao as a puppet or tool person. After all, Miss Ke Yao took him and Su Mei in. Her kindness, her rigorous cooking skills, and everything about her proved to Lu Yuan that Miss Ke Yao is a beautiful and valuable friend.

"Yes, those dreamy words." Lu Yuan nodded.

If Lu Yuan had not become a gem man himself, then he would probably not be able to believe everything that Housekeeper David saw.

But now, the road is almost 80% sure that you can make such an inference.

That is, after Butler David took Miss Mary's precious sapphire, he presented it to the Viscountess, and must have claimed that the credit belonged to him.

But if this sapphire really has the terrible power to make people turn into a gem man, then the Viscountess herself has also become a gem man, and the disappearance case makes sense.
