"Your reasoning has flaws," Nicolas frowned, visibly uncomfortable as he countered. "I've only been frequently ill or faced accidents in the last five or six years. Before that, I was doing perfectly fine. If the murderer is as you say, why did she wait until the last five or six years to act against me?"
"I've pondered that question as well," Athena replied. "One principle of detective reasoning is that if you can't determine who the real murderer is, you can start by assuming someone is the murderer and then work backward from that conclusion to deduce the murderer's motives, methods, and behavior. I'm assuming that Adele is the murderer. So, why did she wait until the last five or six years to drug you?"
She stared at Adele, her expression neutral and devoid of emotion. "First of all, she fell ill right after Mrs. Maggie's incident and spent several years recovering. Secondly, Mr. Matthew and his sister have been investigating this case for years, and Adele was also on the list of suspects. She had to remain hidden and low-key, unable to do anything.
"Furthermore, after Mrs. Maggie's death, Mr. Nicolas had to manage household affairs and prepare to marry a new wife, spending more time at home. This allowed Adele to feel emotionally and psychologically fulfilled. In the end, after Mr. Matthew and his sister had been investigating for over a decade without finding any new clues, they began to ease their efforts.
"As a result, Adele was no longer under such close scrutiny. At this time, Mr. Nicolas was also tired of his second wife and was increasingly looking for lovers outside, rarely coming home. This made Adele unable to tolerate it any longer."
Nicolas's frown deepened as he listened, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
Farrah revealed that mocking and mean smile again.
Athena continued, "Adele has been living in a wealthy family since she came to the Graham family at the age of 16. She certainly doesn't lack money, connections, or insight, and since no one suspects her, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to drug the food at the Graham family. Additionally, Mr. Nicolas has never hidden his romantic affairs, so if Adele wants to track him and his mistress to seize the opportunity, it wouldn't be too difficult. Of course, there are times when she might fail or be unable to act, but it wouldn't prevent Mr. Nicolas from going on a trip at all. Because of this, her suspicions are better concealed."
Upon hearing this, everyone sneered.
Lockwood's analysis was indeed reasonable, and Adele completely fit the analysis, making it hard for anyone to find flaws.
Everyone then turned their gaze toward Adele, their eyes filled with mockery, disgust, and shock.
Adele finally looked up, her face pale, her gaze sorrowful, and her voice trembling. "Are you... suspecting me?
"Yes," Athena said calmly. "You are the real culprit behind the murder of Mrs. Maggie and the one who has drugged Mr. Nicolas multiple times."
"All of this is just... your speculation," Adele said with tears in her eyes. "Where's the evidence? Accusing me like this could cost me my life. You can't just convict me publicly based on speculation."
"I've pondered that question as well," Athena replied.
