"This is a big deal."
Such words coming out of Xiaozafu's mouth made the Hermann couple feel as if they had been involved in a very troublesome incident.
The couple looked at each other tacitly and decided to remain silent.
Speaking too much at this time will only cause unnecessary trouble.
Xiao Zhafu himself was also very helpless. He had originally planned to attend a banquet at the home of the wealthy businessman Eugene after get off work to relax, but he did not expect to be involved in the struggle among high-level officials.
Suo Ou suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Zhafu who was about to speak. He noticed that something was wrong.
"Brown, come here."
Soou shouted to Bron who was not far away.
Bron walked silently to Soo's side and asked in a low voice,
"There's something wrong with the position of the body."
Suo Ou nodded and turned to ask,
"You bastard from Orlos, you were the first person to discover the crime scene. Was the body already in this position when you came in?"
Ketchlov nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and responded,
"Neither Mr. Herman nor I touched him. As soon as I found out about the situation, I went to the banquet hall to find Mr. Herman. I was going to report to Mr. Eugene, but Mr. Eugene drank too much, so I had to ask Mr. Herman to come. And Mr. Herman didn't touch the chef directly."
"Never touched it directly?" Suo Ou asked this question, because every detail at the scene is a very crucial clue.
"I just reached out my hand to feel his breath. After confirming that he was not breathing, I asked Ketchlov to watch the scene here and not let anyone in. Then I went back to the banquet hall to find Lord Xiaozhaf." Hermann defended himself.
At this time, Hermann no longer wanted to get into more trouble and just wanted to protect himself.
"Fingers." Bron reminded Suodao.
Hermann glanced at his index finger and didn't see anything unusual, and he didn't understand what Bron meant.
And Suo Ou lowered his head to look at the chef's hands.
Soou boldly put his nose close to the chef's bent fingers and sniffed hard, then frowned.
"It smells like metal and engine oil, but it's definitely not a kitchen knife or ordinary kitchen utensils." Suo Ou frowned and began to observe the surrounding environment carefully.
The fire in the fireplace crackled, the sound of something burning.
Soou immediately rushed to the fireplace, picked up a bucket of water from the side, and put out the firewood in the fireplace.
There were still some metal parts remaining in the black firewood. Suo Ou put on his rubber gloves and picked up the still hot parts one by one.
"Master Xiaozafu, I think you have to come and see this thing yourself."
Soou said with a wry smile.
"Oh my God, I shouldn't have come today." Xiao Zhafu roared.
After seeing the remaining parts, Xiaozhafu recognized that they belonged to a telegraph machine.
This means that the identity of this French chef is not simple, and he may be a spy sent by French to lurk.
If Ketchev is also a spy, then this kitchen symbolizes the smokeless battlefield between the three countries.
Such a telegraph machine should not appear in a place like the kitchen. Apparently, there is a secret compartment in the kitchen where this telegraph machine is usually stored.
"I guess this telegraph machine is usually placed in a secret place where only the chef often uses it, which is under the chopping board where the body is."
Suo Ou pointed at the French chef and said,
"The man who dismantled the telegraph was very skilled and did not leave much information for later generations, but he was too confident.
That man did not notice in the darkness that the French chef, who was also an elite spy and had received rigorous training, had left a message on the chopping board that he could not see from his perspective before he died - Dusk.
Bron nodded and continued what Soo said.
"There are sawdust between the Frenchman's fingernails. They are freshly removed. They correspond to the sawdust on the cutting board."
"So this French chef already knew that he was exposed, and the person who killed him might be related to the word Dusk. Maybe it's an organization, a code, a cipher, or a code for an action."
Suo Ou explained to Xiao Zhafu the information he had deduced.
Xiao Zhafu frowned and turned to Hermann and said,
"Mr. Herman, I would like to ask you for a list of the guests that Mr. Eugene invited today."
Herman nodded quickly and responded with a wry smile,
"No problem, but I hope you can keep today's matter confidential."
"You don't need to tell us this. We will keep it a secret. There may be a big conspiracy behind this matter."
Xiao Zhafu responded distressedly.
Suo Ou heard the conversation between the two, thought for a moment and then raised his voice,
"Mr. Hermann, I also need a list of your servants."
"Of course, Mr. Soo."
Herman answered, but he was a little confused, so he asked Soo,
"But as far as I know, this French chef has been in my brother's house for some time. If someone in the house did it, why didn't they do it before now?"
Suo Ou glanced at Xiao Zhafu, who shook his head and signaled Suo Ou not to continue.
Xiao Zhafu turned to Hermann and said,
"Mr. Herman, there are too many factors involved in this matter. I think it's better for you not to know too much. Curiosity kills the cat."
Kirk immediately understood what Shawzaf meant when he heard this, and immediately bowed to Shawzaf.
"Thank you for the reminder, Herman. Let's go out."
Then Kirk glanced at Ketchlov who was acting panicky, sighed, and pulled Hermann, who was confused, out of the kitchen.
After the couple walked out of the kitchen, Kirk looked a little unhappy.
She pinched the fat on Hermann's arm again, and Hermann screamed in pain.
"Oh, dear, what's the matter?" Herman looked at Kirk with some resentment.
"Are you still asking me what's wrong? They say a woman will become stupid for three years after pregnancy. I'm afraid you're not the stupid one, right?" Kirk said with a pout.
"Ah? I'm stupid? Why am I stupid?" Hermann asked helplessly.
"Where is your usual wisdom? You were so flustered today that you couldn't even see such a crucial problem?"
Kirk was so angry that he couldn't find a single spot to hit, so he joked.
"Think about it, if this was an ordinary homicide case, would there be a telegraph? Besides, the body of the French chef was found not long ago, so he must have died after the banquet started. What did you say at that time? Do you remember?" Kirk carefully analyzed for Herman.
"Oh my God, could it be because of the decision made by my brother Eugene and me?" Herman suddenly realized.
