"You're right, as long as we can achieve our goal..."
As Hoshino Aoi spoke, the corners of her lips gradually rose slightly, but when Kudo Yusaku heard these words, he felt that there was something wrong with them.
He glanced thoughtfully at the girl standing next to him, his eyes especially wandering for a moment on her fingers and knuckles, as if observing something, but he did not ask about her identity.
Hoshino Aoi did not take the initiative to introduce herself. The two of them just stood in the crowd, silently watching Burris Brown and Judy investigate step by step to find out who the murderer was.
However, it is not enough to just know who the murderer is. They also need to find the weapon used to commit the crime. However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find any object on the other party that could be used to store potassium cyanide.
The case gradually reached a stalemate, and as time went on, more and more people began to become impatient.
"When can we leave?"
"Yeah, we don't know these people, so why should we stay here together?"
"Officer, can we please leave now? I have something else to do later."
Everyone was talking at once, and their voices were full of dissatisfaction with Burris Brown and Judy.
Seeing this, Judy opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she saw Burris Brown frowning and said impatiently:
"What are you arguing about? Can't you see they're investigating a case?"
Upon hearing this, Judy instantly felt bad.
Sure enough, as soon as Boris Brown said this, the voices of the people around him suddenly became louder, and everyone was venting their dissatisfaction. Boris Brown, who was being criticized by everyone, was also full of lawsuits.
He frowned, his hand already intending to reach for the gun.
At this moment, Judy took the initiative to stand up and comforted:
"Everyone, please don't worry. We know we've taken up your time, but we still have some very important evidence that we haven't found, so please wait a little longer to prevent anyone from accidentally taking it away."
If everyone had heard Judy's words before Burris Brown, they would still have some complaints, but they would not really confront the police. Unfortunately, no one is willing to listen now.
Everyone looked at each other, but after a moment's silence, the troublemaker, taking advantage of the fact that there were more people on his side, shouted at Judy:
"You mean to say you suspect that there are accomplices among us who are the murderer?"
"Why do you have to take up our time when it's clearly your incompetence?!"
"It's not like we didn't cooperate. It's just that you guys are incompetent and can't catch them. What does that have to do with us?"
"Exactly. Mr. Kudo was just trying to speak, but you guys rejected him. I was wondering how amazing you were, but you actually delayed me for so long."
The person who spoke had a look of contempt on his face, and he obviously looked down on Boris Brown and Judy, who were obviously incompetent but still put on airs and refused help from capable people.
This squeeze made Boris Brown's face even uglier, and even the look he gave Kudo Yusaku became unfriendly.
But even so, he still didn't lose face and go to him for help. He just looked at those who were talking and asked sternly:
"You guys have been stirring up trouble since the beginning, saying it's for everyone's good, but I see you're clearly accomplices of the murderer! I'm afraid it's not really a serious matter, but you're just trying to use this opportunity to get out and dispose of the murder weapon, right?!"
"No... Mr. Policeman, you can't just accuse someone if you can't find something, right?"
"That's right, how did we become accomplices? Did you see us helping the murderer with your own eyes, or did you find the murder weapon on us? You actually said it so decisively!"
Hearing his words, those troublemakers, who had originally looked down on him for not solving the case for such a long time, couldn't help but start shouting.
Seeing this, Judy didn't know what to say.
All she could think about was, "Is Boris Brown sick? Sick? Sick!"
However, no matter how much she cursed him in her heart for not being able to speak and just shut up, Judy still took a step forward with a wry smile, trying to calm everyone down.
We can't really let the situation continue to develop, right?
Given Boris Brown's character, if he fired a few more warning shots, the situation would only become more complicated. It would be better for her to take the initiative.
But just as she was about to open her mouth to calm everyone down, she heard a familiar voice coming from the crowd, and it seemed to carry some doubts.
"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious. Why are there faint water marks on Miss Davis's handkerchief?"
Hearing this, Judy looked in the direction of the voice and met Solana's gaze.
As the two looked at each other, Boris Brown also looked over in the direction of the voice. Seeing that the person who spoke was the person who had just sat with Judy, his face darkened and a sneer appeared between his lips.
"What's so strange about that? Isn't it normal to wipe your hands with a handkerchief after washing them? I'm afraid the handkerchief got wet at that time too?"
Although many people are accustomed to using paper towels to wipe their hands after washing them, who says that people cannot use handkerchiefs?
Besides, the reason people carry handkerchiefs is to use them, right? Otherwise, why would they carry them?
Thinking of this, Boris Brown couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Stelyn, take care of your people. The police are investigating a case, why would she butt in on the matter?"
And the issue he was talking about was irrelevant to the case.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but once he spoke, the anger that Judy had suppressed in her heart suddenly burst out.
"Since you're so smart and look down on others, why don't you just find the murder weapon right away? Why are you showing off in front of this little girl?"
Although Solana's question seemed a bit silly to Judy, she was still her friend. Judy said that she just didn't want to argue with him because the case had not been investigated clearly, but he still took advantage of her!
Don't blame her for being angry with him.
