Chapter 451 Who is it?"It is known that Tok was killed while painting, and the place of his death was a forbidden place that the servants of the castle would never set foot in..."
"The Earl's Rose Garden."
Ran Ran said calmly: "We can come up with two possibilities here."
"First, Toke went to the garden completely voluntarily and on his own initiative."
"Second, Tok went there passively under the scheme of others."
Everyone nodded as they listened, and Minister Gao couldn't help but think...
As expected, this kind of reasoning still has to be left to the evil boy.
"If it is the first possibility, it means that Tok is a very adventurous person who is not bound by rules."
"If it is the second one, it means that Toke's death was a carefully planned murder from beginning to end."
Zhong Ning asked, "But we don't know Tok's character, and he's dead now. Even if we want to understand, we can't do it. So how can we determine which possibility it is?"
"That's the point we need to ask in the room later."
Ran Ran said calmly: "According to the first possibility, we need to find out about Toke's personal deeds, such as whether he has done anything out of the ordinary in the castle? Occasionally or often?"
"The second possibility is that we need to investigate Tok's interpersonal relationships. How popular is he in the castle? What do others think of him? Is there anyone who has a grudge against him or is dissatisfied with him?"
Minister Gao narrowed his eyes more and more as he listened, "Why do I feel like you are a professional villain?"
"You have won the hat profession at such a young age?"
Ran Ran shook her head, "I just dealt with Aunt Hat."
Zhang Wei, who was sorting out materials in the non-investigation bureau, sneezed unexpectedly, "Strange... It's not cold, is someone talking about me?"
Zhong Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Is there anything else we need to pay attention to?"
Ran Ran was silent for a while. "We currently have too little information."
"We don't know the murderer's motive, method, or murder weapon."
When Zhong Ning heard the murder method, he was puzzled: "Wasn't Toke's throat cut by a knife? What other methods are there?"
"Can't you just take a knife and cut it open?"
Ran Ran shook her head. "After all, I'm not a professional, so my words may not be accurate enough. What I mean is, what specific actions did the murderer use to kill Toke?"
"Because professional forensic doctors can roughly estimate the gender, height and even occupation of the murderer just by observing the wounds of the deceased."
"The wound caused by a knife piercing the skin is specific. The wound will be different if the angle is different, and the wound will be different if the force is different."
Zhong Ning listened with fascination, "If we master this...then the investigation will become so much easier..."
Minister Gao ruthlessly broke his fantasy, "It's a pity that I can't master it."
"Let's think of something useful first!"
Zhong Ning said pitifully, "But it's unexpected that it's useful... Not only do we know nothing about the murderer, we don't even know anything about Tok."
"Except for the evil boy who had contact with him before, the rest of us don't know anything about him."
"All I know is that he was a gardening boy who mowed the garden and that he loved painting, but nothing else."
Ran Ran added silently, "He draws very well."
Zhong Ning immediately changed his words, "Although it's just a hobby, he draws very well, and I don't know anything else."
His innocent and fair face was full of worry. "We don't even know who in the castle we should ask for information, because we don't even know who he is close to."
"Count Armand can be ruled out." Black Tea said calmly: "When he scolded Toque, it was obvious that he was not familiar with this male servant at all."
Doctor Bai said in embarrassment: "Except for Christine, we don't know anyone else in the castle."
Ran Ran shook his head. "There is a person who appears very frequently. We can't miss him." "Butler Ah Fu."
Ranran tried hard to recall more details of when Ah Fu took her to see Toke, but she could not remember anything except vague blocks of color.
"It was Ah Fu who entrusted me to Toker, so at least Ah Fu has a certain understanding of Toker. Otherwise, how could he dare to entrust a disabled person like me to someone he didn't trust?"
As soon as Ran Ran finished speaking, the door of the secret room was slowly opened.
Armand was standing at the door. His eyes immediately found Ranran and then stuck to her.
The bright and dark gaze made the light in his cold gray eyes become uncertain.
"We have been communicating for a long time. Please come out and discuss."
Ran Ran looked behind Armand and saw Ah Fu and Christine standing at the door of the secret room opposite. Ah Fu said the same thing as Armand.
Christine kept leaning towards Melris, seemingly unaware that there was a new person inside her husband.
The twelve people sat back at the round table, and Alfred stood quietly beside Armand.
Ran Ran immediately raised her hand, indicating that she wanted to speak, "I have a question for Butler Ah Fu."
Armand watched, a slight smile in his eyes, "Of course, please let Miss Elizabeth speak."
Christine said dissatisfiedly: "The order of this kind of questioning shouldn't be decided so hastily. Why can't the right side ask first?"
Armand didn't even raise his eyelids. "Opportunities need to be fought for. Miss Elizabeth has done a good job in this regard. Of course, she can win this opportunity."
He nodded slightly to Ran Ran, and Ah Fu took a step forward and said, "I will do my best to answer your questions."
"What kind of man is Tok?"
Ranran's question was so vague that Ah Fu didn't know where to start.
Armand tapped the table and said, "Let me first tell you the basic information, and then I'll introduce your personality, your way of dealing with people, your interpersonal relationships, and so on."
After his master spoke, Ah Fu immediately felt the pressure, and his brain began to work frantically on Tok's self-introduction when he first met him.
"The male servant Toke is from Jinsui Village. He is eighteen years old. His parents are still alive and he has a pair of younger brothers and sisters who need to be raised."
"He is positive, cheerful, and generous. People around him mostly describe him as kind and gentle."
Ran Ran frowned slightly, "Mostly? What about the opinions of others besides this group of people about him?"
Ah Fu recalled the disgusted expressions of several villagers in Jinsui Village when he went to do the background check, "... a big fool, a heartless idiot, stupid... something like that."
Ran Ran frowned even deeper. These comments, even if they were negative, were not very aggressive. Instead, they were more like a feeling of disappointment.
"So Tok basically doesn't make enemies with anyone?"
Ah Fu: "That's indeed the case in Jinsui Village. Everyone likes him."
"As for the castle, Toker has only been working here for a short time. He is a newcomer and I don't know his interpersonal relationships in the castle."
"I roughly understand." Ran Ran suddenly asked without thinking, "Is Toke busy with his work?"
Ah Fu was startled. "It must be very busy, because there are so many plants everywhere in the castle."
Ran Ran nodded to Ah Fu, "Thank you for your answer."
Under Armand's indifferent gaze, Ah Fu retreated to his original position in a cold sweat.
Ranran exchanged glances with his teammates, and the meaning was very clear.
Toker is usually busy with work, so he doesn't have much time to spare, and coupled with his hobby of painting...
The paintings he showed her in the attic had taken up a great deal of his time and energy, and Toker had no time to make friends in the castle.
So who killed him?
