"It's the same brand as the cigarette butts we found in the tunnel." Mary took it and looked at it and said.
"It's really a big suspicion."
After taking the cigarette box, the two closed the door and left.
When they returned to the annex just now, they went to ask the old butler, Kurahashi Benming, and found out that Kevin came with Clyde as an assistant.
So without any delay, Shirakawa Qing and Mary went straight to Clyde's room.
The two planned to report this incident as quickly as possible.
Chapter 427 I only eat the food you cook
~
"Damn it, that guy Tone Eijiro, what on earth was he thinking?"
That night, former British Navy Lieutenant Commander Clyde, who had changed into his pajamas, paced back and forth in his room, looking anxious.
"Kitakami Kazuhiko... Why was this person called here? At the beginning, we were..."
"Dong dong."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?!" Clyde stopped suddenly, looked up and shouted.
"Mr. Clyde, it's us." Mary replied from outside the door, "We want to ask you something about Mr. Yang. Is it convenient for you now?"
"Humph, it's you, the two green detectives from the daytime..."
Clyde snorted coldly, and although his tone was unhappy, he still stepped forward and opened the door.
"Ask anything you want to ask as soon as possible, and go back as soon as you're done."
The two men walked in, and out of professional habit, Bai Heqing instinctively scanned Clyde's room.
Unlike Kevin's room, Clyde's room looked much simpler. Apart from the original decorations in the room, there was only a large suitcase in the corner.
On the round table in the middle of the room stood an opened bottle of red wine, and next to it was a tall wine glass that was half full.
There were no marks on the edge of the wine glass, indicating that the glass of red wine had not been touched.
"What is your relationship with Mr. Yang?" Mary looked at Clyde and asked while sitting on the sofa.
"Yang and I have known each other for more than ten years." Clyde replied without hesitation: "That being said, we haven't seen each other much in recent years. I didn't expect that he would be killed just after we met this time..."
"How many years ago did you first meet?" Mary continued to ask.
"Fifteen years ago, in Singapore..." Clyde replied casually.
[Singapore? Fifteen years ago?]
Mary frowned slightly. According to the information she and Shirakawa Kiyoshi had obtained before, it seemed that Eijiro Tone also received the inheritance fifteen years ago and then moved from Singapore to the UK, right?
Based on this speculation, could it be that the final heir of the estate, Kazuhiko Kitakami, had also appeared in Singapore fifteen years ago?
Could it be that the three heirs designated by Tone Eijiro all have some relationship with the inheritance from fifteen years ago?
"Mr. Clyde, I heard that you once served in the British Royal Navy?" Mary asked again.
"Huh, you found out the truth really quickly!"
With a cold snort, Clyde nodded and replied, "Yes, I used to be a major in the Royal Navy, but I retired ten years ago..."
At this point, Clyde's expression suddenly changed. He subconsciously clenched his hands and hit the armrest of the sofa hard.
"Damn it! I shouldn't have come to this island! If it weren't for Tone Eijiro, I would still be living a leisurely retirement life in London! Damn it! Who on earth is he..."
Suddenly, Clyde stopped talking. He seemed to realize that there were other people in the room. He looked up at Mary and Shirakawa Qing who were looking at him curiously, and waved his hand impatiently:
"Alright! That's enough! Get out of here now! I need to rest! Get out, get out!"
Just like that, Shirakawa Qing and Mary, who maintained the moral bottom line of respecting the elderly, were pushed out of the room by Clyde in a very rude manner.
After slamming the door shut, Clyde shouted to the two of them through the door:
"If you want to continue investigating, then go investigate that Kitakami Kazuhiko! In my opinion, he must be the murderer of Yang!"
"What did he say?" Bai Heqing turned and looked at Mary.
"What a changeable old man..." Mary sighed helplessly and explained the conversation just now to him.
"It seems that Yang Douxin's death has had a great impact on him." Bai Heqing said as the two turned around and walked in the corridor.
"No, that may not be right..." After hesitating for a moment, Shirakawa Qing continued, "It should be said that the two events of Kitakami Kazuhiko appearing on this island and Yang Douxin being poisoned had a great impact on him."
"Clyde has some special hostility towards Kazuhiko Kitakami." Mary nodded in agreement.
"You suspect it has something to do with the process by which Eijiro Tone obtained the inheritance from Singapore fifteen years ago?" Shirakawa Kiyoshi looked at her.
"Well, there is a possibility."
"It doesn't matter, let's go find it..."
Halfway through his words, Bai Heqing suddenly turned around and looked at the corner of the corridor behind him, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"What's wrong?" Mary also looked back and asked in confusion.
"I feel like someone is following us..." Bai Heqing replied, his eyes still fixed on the corner of the corridor.
Upon hearing this, Mary did not hesitate and took out the small pistol she had kept in her pocket, pulled the bolt, lowered her steps, and walked over quietly.
Standing on this side of the corner, Mary took a deep breath, held the gun with both hands, then quickly stepped forward and aimed sideways at the other side of the corner.
"M-Detective Mary?!"
"Butler Kurahashi?"
Almost at the same time, the old butler Kurahashi Motoaki came out from the corner holding a plate with a bottle of red wine. If Mary had not reacted quickly, the two would have collided with each other.
"Detective Mary, what are you doing..." Hurryingly holding the plate in his hand, Kurahashi Motoaki looked at Mary and the pistol in her hand with some fear.
"Butler Kurahashi, where are you going?" Mary put the pistol back with a calm expression, looked at him and asked.
"Oh, the other guests in the hotel wanted to drink red wine tonight, so I went to the warehouse to get some and sent it to them..."
"That's it..."
Nodding, Mary glanced at the empty corridor behind Akira Kurahashi and a kind smile appeared on her face.
"Then I won't bother you anymore... By the way, we want to ask Mr. Kitakami Kazuhiko something next. Do you know where his room is?"
"Mr. Kazuhiko? His room is just in front..."
"I get it, thank."
"You're welcome. I'm glad I can help."
Just like that, after Kurahashi Motoaki left, Mary turned and walked towards Shirakawa Kiyoshi who had been standing behind her.
"Did you see any strange people?" Bai Heqing asked.
"I think he is the one with the most problems," Mary replied.
Out of intuition, she felt that the sudden appearance of Kurahashi Motoaki was a little unusual, but unfortunately, she did not see anyone else behind Kurahashi Motoaki just now.
Upon hearing this, Bai Heqing just nodded slightly.
"It's okay, just be careful next time."
"I know."
The two turned around and continued to walk towards Kitakami Kazuhiko's room. After a brief thought, Shirakawa Qing suddenly asked:
"Mary, can you cook?"
"Yes, why do you ask this suddenly?" Mary looked at him puzzled.
“I’ll be asking you to help out in the kitchen over the next few days, from getting ingredients from the warehouse to cooking in the kitchen.
Just in case, I will only eat your cooking until I leave this island."
I only eat the food you cook.
I only eat your cooking...
I only eat the food you cook.
Mary's brain suddenly felt a little dizzy, and Bai Heqing's voice kept echoing in her mind.
"I, I understand. Baihe, please stop talking..."
"Huh? What? What happened?"

Chapter 428 Undercurrent
"Kitagami Kazuhiko, Kitakami Kazuhiko..."
In Clyde's room, after Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary left, Clyde was still pacing back and forth in the room anxiously.
"Tone Eijiro...what on earth are you thinking? Why did you call him over? Have you already told him everything that happened fifteen years ago?"
Sitting back on the sofa, Clyde just picked up the glass of red wine on the table that he hadn't drunk yet, and then he seemed to have thought of something and immediately put the red wine back heavily.
"Yes, that must be the case, he must have known everything, that's why he killed Yang, he must have killed Yang!
Next, I will definitely be the next one... No, I can't just sit there and wait for death!"
Standing up again and starting to pace around the room again, a fierce look appeared on Clyde's face.
"I must find the inheritance as soon as possible. I will leave this island as soon as I get it. Those two young detectives may be of some use. And Kevin..."
Clyde clenched his right fist and slapped it hard on the palm of his left hand, and the corners of Clyde's mouth rose slightly.
"If it really comes to that, I'll just let Kevin go..."
"Boom, boom."
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
"Who?" Clyde asked somewhat dissatisfiedly after being interrupted.
