Chapter 187: Spontaneous Combustion Murder

The thief Kidd sent a notice, but Roberts didn’t send the gems out because she couldn’t believe anyone. After dinner, she carried the gems next to her body.

It was late at night, and the time had already passed the agreed eight o’clock. Roberts couldn’t support it, and went to sleep after washing up and changing into pajamas.

Even the fans of the thief went back. They thought that maybe this time it was really the thief who wanted to scare Roberts. How could the same thing be stolen twice? You see it’s almost midnight now, and the thief hasn’t come yet, maybe it’s the thief’s fault this time. The most dedicated reporter stayed here and continued to wait, waiting for the white thief to fall from the moonlight.

The second hand ticked forward, the lights in the villa dimmed, and the police were still trying to stay alert. Stone also stared around with his eyes wide open. It’s getting quieter and everyone is tired.

The temperature at night in mid-April was still a bit low. People hugged their arms in the chilly night breeze, but the sleepers would not let them go. Everyone got sleepy and sleepy…

But at this moment, a scream from the villa alarmed everyone. But this was just the beginning, and after a short interval, another scream sounded more sternly.

Stone rushed into the villa for a long time, only to see a ball of fire rushing towards him, and quickly avoided.



I saw the fireball swaying towards the outside of the villa, plunged into the swimming pool at the end, and finally floated on the water and stopped moving.

“Ms. Roberts??!!!” Stone could not believe his eyes, and the owner of the villa was burned to death. A terrifying murder happened before his eyes.

Dragging the corpse out of the water, the director shook his head. Ms. Roberts was no longer saved: “Notify the identification department that there is a forensic doctor.”

Roberts’ children also rushed out in their pajamas and cried sadly when they saw their mother’s body.

“It’s the thief Kidd. He must have killed mother.” Hunter, the eldest son, roared, “It must be him, the murderer.”

The police looked at their chief, and they had suspicions in their hearts, but the thief Kidd didn’t even show that he might kill?

“Quiet, wait for someone to ask you questions.” Stone said.

“What do you mean?” Hunter said.

“It’s just a routine procedure. Everyone in the villa, including the servant butler, has to ask, and you definitely can’t be an exception.” It’s not a trivial matter that theft becomes a murder case.

The people outside the wall heard the screams immediately, and they all craned their necks to know what was going on inside, whether the strange thief had come.

While recording the confession, Stone walked into Roberts’ bedroom and found that the carpet at the door had been burned and the door had been blackened. It was obvious that she was suddenly set ablaze here. But why are there two screams?

“Chief, I think it was a spontaneous combustion incident.” The police said, “Because the fire was obviously on Decedent, who was awakened and suddenly caught fire when he escaped the door.”

“Do you think it is spontaneous combustion?” The director looked in the bedroom and felt like, “But why did Decedent wake up suddenly in the middle of the night?”

“It must be the thief Kidd,” the policeman said confidently: “She must have seen Kidd before she was taken aback and reflexively escaped.”

“Don’t make the conclusion too fast.” The director said, “Go and call the butler. I have a few questions to ask.”

Calling the butler, the director personally asked: “Ms. Roberts’s bedroom has always been decorated like this?”

“Yes, it’s been several years. This carpet was bought specially by the lady. She is her favorite carpet.”

“Then her pajamas have been worn for many years?”

The butler said: “That’s not true. How can a set of pajamas be worn for a few years? This set of pajamas is a gift from Miss Ma Lin today.”

“Then the fabrics of the pajamas sent by Miss Ma Lin are the same as those worn by Ms. Roberts before?”

“Yes, madam, she only wears fluffy pajamas.”

It turns out that the Chief Stoner probably knows why Ms. Roberts was ignited, but was this an accident or a deliberate murder?

“Sir, there is one thing I have to say.” The butler said, “This afternoon, Madam and Master Hunter had a quarrel. It was very fierce. It seems that Master Hunter is in financial crisis.”

“Thank you, this is very important.” Mr. Stone said: “There is another question. This room has a special fragrance. What is this smell?”

“Sir, this is a good Indian spice that can enhance sleep.”

The director nodded, then he looked around in the villa again, and walked around in each room.

“Director, the appraisal department is here.” The police officer walked over and said.

The people in the identification department did not inspect much on the spot, but it was confirmed that decedent was burned to death, and there were burn marks in her mouth.

“Housekeeper, Ms. Roberts likes to wear socks to sleep?” the chief asked when he saw the socks on the corpse.

“Yes, Madam is old and chills, so she can sleep in socks.”

Seeing a silver cross hung on the lady’s chest again, it seemed that this incident was not an accident, but a murder, and the murderer was not a thief Kidd but someone in the villa.

The people in the villa also had transcripts one after another. The director read all the transcripts of seven or eight people in the living room. It was almost early in the morning.

Hunter is still clamoring about thief and murder, and he has not avoided the quarrel with his mother, because he recently became obsessed with gambling and he lost all his money in Alaska before he wanted to come back to borrow money, and he also said that the company’s dividend has not been paid for half a year. He had no way to borrow money. Now he is not only urged by the bank, but also by the tax bureau, and even loan sharks are urged. Hunter is almost driven mad.

“Director, I think this is a murder. The murderer is the eldest son Hunter, a case designed with all his heart to seize the inheritance.”

But some people thought it was an accident: “It’s obvious that the human body is ignited well, and it’s murder.”

Stone has his own opinion: “You are all wrong. This case is a murder case with spontaneous combustion as a cover. Now that everyone is gathered in front of the swimming pool, I want to uncover the truth.”

“Secretary?” The chief seems to be very powerful today, and the beer belly seems to have become smaller. The police led away, and the chief asked the appraisers to help appraise a few things, and the evidence was almost complete.

Several important items in this case, pajamas are gifts from decedent’s daughter, crosses are gifts from decedent’s younger son, and socks are gifts from decedent’s elder son. What a sad incident.

Everyone is here in front of the swimming pool.

A brave reporter climbed over the wall and climbed up the tree in the courtyard. He was now putting the camera under the object. Seeing that the people are so uniform, I thought it was going to be a meeting of oaths. But he knew that a case had happened here, and even the appraisal and forensic doctors came, indicating that it was a murder case.


That’s why the reporter took the risk and broke in. If he is lucky, he will be able to make a big news tomorrow with the headline “Weird Thief is a Murderer”.

“Everyone is here, so I will reason about the unfortunate incident that happened last night.” The director said: “While waiting for the appearance of the thief Kidd last night, our respected Ms. Roberts was unfortunately burned to death and died in front of everyone. In this swimming pool…”

Roberts is dead? She is a big shot, she died yesterday? The reporter hiding in the tree was excited. This time it was really big news. If the thief were the murderer, he would have developed. This news is worth at least five figures.



Then I heard the director say: “I am very sad, but I have to find out the truth of the sadness little by little.”

The police looked at their chief, and asked when the chief was so detective? The style seems wrong.

The director said with piercing eyes: “This time the case is carefully disguised as a spontaneous combustion incident. The murderer who planned this tragic case is in the villa, right between you.”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone changed their faces. ..
