I Develop A Detective Game And The Police Call Me To File

Chapter 189 The Suspect's Related Testimony

"Then let me tell you first.

McQueen stood up.

"Well, at breakfast this morning, Mr. Ratchett told me that the thirteenth-century ceramic bowl and six large-caliber glasses he bought from Islam were out of stock and damaged."

"One of the large-caliber glasses was missing, and one of the ceramic bowls was broken, so Mr. Ratchett ordered me to send a telegram to the other party when the train arrived in Belgrade at night, telling the seller to make up the relevant items, or We will refund the corresponding fees.”

"After I finish, I will report to Mr. Ratchett, and after the report is finished, I will return to my room."

"But not long after, Mr. Ratchett took the initiative to come to my room to find me, chatted about the threatening letter, and asked me if there was any way to deal with it."

"Although he's not afraid of those jumping clowns, it's not a solution to be so worried all the time."

"Also said that he asked Mr. Poirot to be his private detective this morning, but was rejected, so he wanted to settle this matter even more quickly."

"After the chat, Mr. Ratchett went back.

"After a while, I remembered that there was another threatening letter I hadn't forgotten to tell Mr. Ratchett, so I hurried to his room and knocked on his door."

"As a result, no matter how I knocked on the door, Mr. Ratchett did not respond."

"Maybe I was in a hurry, which caused the knock on the door to disturb Mr. Poirot's sleep. After he opened the door, he reminded me to find Michel to use the master key.

"But the train had just arrived in Zagreb and Mr Zell was on the platform.

"After Mr. Michel came back, he opened the door with the master key, and found that the room was still locked."

"When we finally opened the door, we found Mr. Ratchett lying in the room with a knife stabbed in his chest, blood all over the floor, and the dagger fell aside."

"Then, Mr. Poirot asked Michel and I to come out first. He wanted to investigate the scene of the crime and asked Michel to call you over. The whole process was like this."

After McQueen finished speaking, Miss Zhou looked at Coupolo.

"Poirot, with regard to the few points McQueen said that can be compared with yours, can you confirm whether what he said is true or not?"

"What Mr. McQueen said should be true."

"Let me tell you what I have learned."

Subsequently, Poirot began to share the situation he encountered.

"I knew Mr. McQueen was looking for Mr. Ratchett the first time, because I heard his knocking and talking."

"Then, I heard the door opening and closing and it was supposed to be Mr McQueen leaving."

"Not long after, I heard the sound of the door opening and closing again. It should be what McQueen said, and Mr. Ratchett went to find him."

"Then, when Mr. Ratchett passed by the door of my room, he accidentally bumped into the door of my room. I thought someone was knocking on the door. When I opened the door, I found that Mr. Ratchett was in the elevator.

"Not long after I got back into bed, I heard Mr McQueen's knocking and talking again.

"Because there was no response after knocking inside for a long time, so I poked my head out to look, and then asked him to open Michelle's master key directly."

"It turned out that Michelle was on the station platform at the time, and did not appear again until the train officially started to start."

"During this period, I had a brief exchange with Mr McQueen until Michelle showed up.

"When Michelle opened the door, she found that the back of the door was chained, and then she saw the scene of the crime."

Michelle took the initiative to spread her hands.

"Mr. Bianchi, the situation I encountered is the combined situation of the two of them."

Sister Zhou frowned, and continued to ask: "Poirot, is there anything different at the crime scene?"

Poirot shook his head: "It's nothing different. The scene of the crime was very clean. When I came in, I saw Ratchett lying on the ground near Mrs. Harbart's small door, covered in blood. The windows are open."

"Mr. Poirot, do you have any thoughts on the case?"

"nothing now!"

"To be honest, Mr. Ratchett's death is very strange!"

"From when he opened the door to when McQueen knocked on the door, it took only ten or twenty minutes."

"But when we opened the door, the room was locked with iron chains, but there was no one inside. Therefore, I suspect that the murderer probably opened the window and escaped from the top of the train.

…… Ask for flowers………

Sister Zhou frowned and asked, "Actually, is it possible to leave the room of Mrs. Ha Zhongte? Isn't there a small door as a link between these two rooms?"

"Impossible!" Poirot immediately denied.

"Because this small door is a two-way latch bolt. It is made of wood. It doesn't mean that one side can be opened and the other side can be opened. Both sides must be opened at the same time."

"And when we walked into the room, I saw that the latch on the side of Ratchett's room was inserted into the door frame.

"That is to say, the murderer must be standing in this room before he can hang up the iron chain and push in the latch of the door.

"So, my only deduction at the moment is that the murderer escaped through the window."

"Of course, if we don't find relevant footprints on the top of the car window, then we'll have to really think about this case."

"Poirot, will you help me with this case?" Sister Zhou asked.

Poirot replied with a smile.

"If you can find footprints on the roof, the rest is the police's business. It doesn't matter if I help or not."

"But if there are no footprints on the roof, then this case is very interesting. Needless to say, I will take the initiative to follow up.

"good!"

Sister Zhou looked overjoyed and pointed at Michelle.

"Michelle, come with me and go to the roof of the train to have a look."

"Mr. Bianchi, now? The train is still running now, which is very dangerous."

"Yes, it must be now!"

"It is snowing now, if you wait for the train to arrive at the station, it is very likely that the murderer's footprints will be covered by the heavy snow.

Under the compulsory order of sister Zhou.

Michelle and sister Zhou found a rope and tied it to their bodies to ensure safety.

Soon, the two came to the top.

The howling cold wind blows into the bones of the person, which is very cold.

Sister Zhou and Michelle checked carefully, fearing that they would not be stable, so they just rolled down.

After carefully inspecting the two ends from the middle of Ratchett for a long time, Sister Zhou finally confirmed that there were no footprints on it.

That is to say, according to Poirot, this case has become interesting.

Because, no matter how you look at it, this is a secret room that is impossible on the train!.
