Chapter 98

Daniel widened his eyes. He stared at Athena for several seconds before falling back and smacking the ground with his hands, laughing until his stomach hurt. "You're Lockwood? What a joke! If you're Lockwood, I'm Sherlock. Athena did not argue with Daniel and said, "In the last case serialized online in "The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Holmes, the murderer is Keith Jenson, the waiter of the soup house." Daniel was still laughing. He did not take Athena seriously at all

the broth

Athena continued. "When Keith cleaned up the private room, he put the poison on the chandelier above the dining table. When the victims are broth, the heat from the broth rose. Coupled with the heat produced when the chandelier is lit, the poison melted and dripped into "The victims were poisoned after eating the broth. However, because the poison was not strong enough, it did not act up in the restaurant. Instead, itacted up on the drive back, causing a car accident. One person died, one was seriously injured, and Two were slightly injured.

"The murderer Keith cleaned up the private room immediately after the victims left. He cleaned the remaining poison on the chandelier and didn't leave any traces behind.

"Because Keith was only in charge of cleaning up the private room and was not in charge of delivering the food, he did not enter the private room during the victims meal. Thus, he was not listed as a suspect by the police at first.

"Keith wanted to avenge his girlfriend. His girlfriend used to be the manager of the restaurant. She was harassed and framed by the victims many times. In the end, she lost her job and tried to commit suicide." At this moment, Daniel had stopped laughing He looked at Athena with his mouth agape. "Y-Your deduction is quite reasonable."

The writer had been despicable and did not make it clear or hint at the identity of the murderer. It drove tens of millions of readers crazy. To this day, readers still argued over who the murderer was. Athena calmly tapped on her phone. "This is the author's page of the website where I published "The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Holmes. I'll make an update now."

Then, Athena clicked on the "Create Chapter and posted: [Lockwood is writing again. The real culprit will be announced in three days.]

After sending it, she showed her phone screen to Daniel. "Do you yield?"

Daniel got up and leaned over. He opened his eyes wide and went as close as he could to the screen. "Oh my god, is this really the author's page? There's even a new update?" Athena put away her phone. "What else do you have to say?"

Daniels gaze shifted to Athena's face. He was no longer arrogant "If you really Lockwood, why don't you continue to write online? Do you know how traumatic it is for readers to be left hanging without knowing who the murderer was!" Athena said righteously, "I was busy and forgot."

Daniel replied, "The author said these cases are all real-life experiences but slightly modified. Is that true?"

"It's true
