Chapter Forty-One Night Visit to the Rich Mansion
There is no direct passage to the outside world in the Offa Library, so Ah Hao walked up the stairs for a long time before returning to the hall.
It was already late at night when we took the elevator to the upper city.
In this cold night, Ahao accidentally wanted to visit Mrs. Fu's residence again.
In fact, yesterday's experience made him feel very itchy. When he handed in the task today, he originally wanted to continue to solve the mystery of Mrs. Fu's death with Annie.
Unexpectedly, Anne directly counted him as completing the task.
Although the task has been completed, Ahao still has quite a lot of puzzles in his mind.
Why did the rich lady die? Why did the empty perfume bottles all over the floor and the mysterious watermelon ketone appear together in the rich lady's home?
In addition, Ah Hao has confirmed through the words of the Sheriff that that place is not the home of the rich lady. The rich lady rented that place for an ulterior purpose.
What are those purposes?
Seeing that the place where he was now was not far from the rich wife's house, Ahao walked all the way there.
Downstairs of Mrs. Rich's house, yellow warning strips were still fluttering in the wind.
After watching furtively downstairs for a while, Ah Hao confirmed that no one was in Mrs. Fu's home now.
So he skillfully climbed up the wall and came to the familiar balcony again.
Ah Hao noticed that the door lock position on the balcony was still empty.
He slid the door open and walked in carefully.
The room was much cleaner than when he came yesterday. Only the blood stains on the floor and the human figure drawn in chalk were still there.
The other stacks of perfume bottles and cans all disappeared.
Ah Hao guessed that the Public Security Department took it away.
Ahao sniffed his nose vigorously, trying to catch some clues from the smell.
It still has a chaotic and noisy human smell, and even the smell of blood has been diluted a lot.
Ah Hao shook his head, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
He now feels that the kitchen is a place more worthy of exploration. Because of the interruption of the two people yesterday, he did not explore the entire kitchen. He has always been worried about this, and this feeling of not completing anything has always been more in his heart.
This was the reason why he wanted to do it again today.
Walking towards the dark kitchen, Ahao was bold this time and secretly opened the closed curtains.
He decided that if anyone found out, he would blame Sheriff Johnny, or at worst, let Annie come to get him.
Ahao's courage gradually grew.
By the moonlight, Ahao took a good look at the kitchen again.
The kitchen is not big, but there are some peculiarities.
Especially the stove, Ah Hao could tell at a glance that the stove had been transformed into a tool for preparing perfume!
The stove replaced the alcohol lamp, and there were distillation utensils on the top. This was clearly a distillation device!
There are some bottles and jars placed next to the distillation device. It seems that Mrs. Fu is trying to make her own perfume.
Ahao twitched his nose, wanting to smell what had been distilled here.
Ahao smelled some perfume next to him.
If that can be considered a perfume.
The liquids in front of me had a rather confusing smell, and none of them smelled good.
Ah Hao frowned. He felt that Mrs. Fu's perfume skills must be quite bad.
At this moment, Ahao smelled the salty smell of the sea breeze coming from the side.
This is the taste of watermelon ketone!
Does Mrs. Rich still have some stock here?!
Ahao looked around excitedly, he was so short of this raw material now.
Looking around, Ahao could no longer see any trace of the white crystal.
But he found the source of the smell.
——It turned out to be a juicer!
In Ahao's eyes, this is a very weird juicer.
The brass fuselage is in a regular cylindrical shape, and there are several tubes of unknown purpose on the side of the fuselage.
The transparent removable part on the top looks like it holds ingredients, and there is a small hole protruding from the bottom of the transparent part.
The small opening is almost just a little taller than an ordinary cup.
No! Ahao suddenly discovered that there should be a cup in front of this juicer.
And that cup is the one that was taken away by me yesterday!
But it was so dark yesterday that he didn't notice that there was a juicer behind the cup!
Ahao opened the transparent box above the juicer and found that there were some white crystals in the box.
After picking it up and smelling it, Ahao was sure that it was watermelon ketone.
But, how come watermelon ketones are in the juicer? Why does Mrs. Rich put watermelon ketones in the juicer?
Looking at the juicer in front of him, Ahao gradually came up with a wild guess!
Watermelon ketones are not placed in the juicer, but this juicer is used to produce watermelon ketones!
Mrs. Fu is the manufacturer of watermelon ketone?!
Wen De's words suddenly rang in Ahao's mind
"I don't know why, but the raw material supplier suddenly disappeared, causing all prices to rise a bit now."
All the clues were spinning in Ahao's mind like electricity, and he felt that he was piecing together the truth of the matter!
Mrs. Fu probably got some magical treasure. It was a precious item that Sheriff Johnny secretly came to look for in the middle of the night.
Judging from Mrs. Rich’s lavish purchases of perfume bottles, this treasure may be inseparable from perfume.
And the most likely thing is that this treasure can produce flavor raw materials!
So the missing raw material supplier is Mrs. Fu?!
Everything makes sense!
Mrs. Fu originally wanted to use this treasure to make some perfume herself.
But she didn't expect that her perfume skills were so poor that she couldn't successfully make a perfume.
So she came up with the idea of selling perfume raw materials directly.
The timing was also right, Ahao received the news that the supply of raw materials had been stopped a few days ago.
This time point was just a few days before the murder.
Mrs. Fu may have sensed some danger, so she stopped shipping and wanted to hide herself. Unexpectedly, she was killed in the end.
It's possible that Mrs. Fu accidentally leaked the news about the treasure she obtained.
From the brief contact, Ah Hao could feel that Mrs. Fu is a person who likes to show off. It is difficult for such a person to hide such a secret.
Ahao recalled what Sheriff Johnny said, "...That baby might still be here!"
Could it be that...
Ahao looked at the juicer in front of him.
Is this the treasure they are looking for?!
A machine that produces strange perfume ingredients?
Ah Hao looked at this juicer in disbelief. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his thinking.
So in this case, the impossible is possible.
Ahao moved the integrated juicer and wanted to put it into his bag.
The cylindrical juicer is slender and Ahao's bag can barely fit part of it, but it can't be zipped up.
Half of the juicer is still exposed.
Ahao removed the white transparent part so that it doesn't look so exaggerated.
He couldn't care less. Thinking that this might be the treasure that others had been looking for, Ahao suddenly felt nervous.
It was as if an enemy would appear at any time and appear from his side to attack him.
He quickly moved the pieces on both sides of the table so that the countertop without the juicer would not look strange.
Chapter completed!
