Chapter 476 The jig Was Up!

Everyone kept wondering how the liar in the group could be.

Why would the person lie if he wasn't guilty?

The most surprising thing to them, was how this inspector was able to tell if they had any visitors in their rooms or not.

Of course amongst them, there was one person who's heartbeat increased nervously.

Inspector Morgan looked at them and smirked.

"As I said, all except 1 of you was telling the truth.

Mr. Hemrew, I think you can stop pretending now."

"_"

Hearing that, everyone's eyes bulged out in shock when they heard Hemrew's name.

He was the most unlikely in their opinion.

He was the shy one of the group, and always needed convincing whoever they wanted to do anything.

Did the inspector make a mistake?

.

"Yes.... for a lot of untrained civilians, you might be able to fool them.

But... I'm sorry to say that, your luck has finally run out.

For starters, even though you came as a tourist.... you claimed to be a merchant.

Now, anyone who has spent enough time with merchants would know their uncontrollable urge to buy and sell.

If there was anything new and amazing, they would try to get any sort of deal, discount or contract for any new item on the market.

And that's where you gave yourself up.

What sort of merchant leaves the place with just 3 pieces of baggage?

In fact, let's forget about the number for now, and loom at the items within them.

Your luggage only had single items in them, and not items bought in bulk.

If you had even bought 4 pairs of shirts that looked alike and were different sizes like large, small or medium..... that would even be somewhat believable.

But you have just 1 pair or type of product for yourself only.

And what sort of merchant leaves with just 3 suitcases?

In addition to that, while you were here, you never tried to get deals for your so-called business or even show signs of interest in buying any item in bulk.

In other words, you shopped with only you in mind.

So no matter how I see it, there's no way that you're a merchant.

Your skin is extremely fair and in no way the same to those of peasants or ordinary folks.

So maybe you're a noble instead."

.

The more inspector Morgan spoke, the more shocked everyone became.... especially the other suspects.

What the hell?

You could catch a lie using just this?

Even though the other suspects were all amazed, they couldn't help but agree with inspector Morgan's analysis.

What sort of merchant didn't care about expanding his business, as well as getting enough products to market out?

It was like Hemrew had been shopping for himself rather than for his store.

3 bags?

Even they as nobles had at least 40~50 bags.

But Hemrew who they just found out was also a noble only left with 3 bags?

Come on!.... even peasants who were leaving Baymard, left with 4 or 5 bags.

But this dude wanted to leave with just 3?

Nah.... it was definitely suspicious!

"Mr. Hemrew, with all that we've said... it seems like your identity is a fake isn't it." Inspector Morgan said, with a broad smile on his face.

Hemrew looked at him and sneered.

"So what if I came here using a fake identity, what does that prove?"

"Ahh.... you're finally showing your true self.

I always knew that, that cowardly appearance and demeanour of yours was all an act."

It was all an act?

All the other suspects looked at Hemrew in shock.

Was this still the shy and overly obedient guy that they all knew?

They had never seen anyone's facial expression change so fast.

One moment he looked like an angel, and the next... he looked like a demon.

.

"You're really a smart one.

In case you got caught during your departure, you already planned for others to take the fall in your place.

So 2 weeks before your departure, you began looking for your targets.

You would always sit in the lounge area for several hours while observing everyone that came and went.

And that's how you spotted the other suspects.

You then made your move by 'accidentally' spraining your ankle in front of them.

And sure enough, you took the opportunity to bond with them and tell them about how you had no friends here in Baymard.

Of course from there, the rest was history.

You see, from the get-go.... you had planned for us to crucify one of them as the culprit.

But never in your wildest dreams, would you have believed that we would uncover the whole case and still find you as the culprit.

In other words, your bags were never touched by anyone else."

--silence--

The room was dead silent, and after listening to inspector Morgan, they finally knew that they had been had.

Their blood began to boil with rage, as they thought about how they would never see their families again if they were actually found to be guilty.

Luckily..... luckily, the Baymardian police and military forces were too skilled to let them suffer any losses.

Many of them felt like breaking their handcuffs and smashing Hemrew's head against the table.

Motherf***er!!!

'Bam!'

They hit their tables hard and cursed Hemrew with all their hearts.

.

"So with that said, even though everyone except Hemrew is free to leave..... we will ask for you all to stay here until nightfall before we secretly transport you out again.

And of course, I have to remind you all that everyone should keep this experience a secret.

Many people want information about baymard.

So when they hear that you went through this scenario, they might capture, torture and even kill you and your families just to have any information about your experience during the case.

So for your own sake, keep this experience a secret.

Now..... as we had promised, your stays in Baynard will be expended by 14 days.... and you will get 2 free tickets each to any of the theatre shows.

This is our little thank you for cooperating with us."

With that said, the soldiers took Hemrew to the secret dungeon within the wing.... while the other suspects stayed in the room instead.

They were once again uncuffed and allowed to do anything they wanted in the room.

Now.... it was time to get the names of those Baymardian traitors.
