The Murders at the Beilschmidt Manor

Chapter 4

The Chef & His Cluelessness

Maria adjusted her black gloves and walked into the Kitchen with Arthur. "What's wrong with ye now?" A Scottish accent welcomed them. "We have two detectives here to interrogate you on the murder." Lili said still a bit pale. "What murder, lassie?" The Scottish man asked. "Sir Antonio of Spain was murdered in the den!" Lili said making hand movements. "Is that so? Well he must've gotten himself into it, aye lassie?" The red headed man asked her, obviously not seeing the detectives in the same room. "If it were my choice, the job would've gotten done earlier!" Arthur glanced at Maria and nodded, she quickly wrote down his words. "What er what do you mean?" Lili asked trying to help the detectives. "Well, Tonio wasn't a good man and he deserved what he sot. Ye don't just go around kidnapping innocent girls and hurting 'em, aye lassie?" He said continuing to cook. "Right. What did he do in Spain, Mister Allistor?" Lili asked, earning Arthur and Maria's nod of approval. "I just told ye!" Allistor said, his back to them. "I meant his occupation, Sir." Lili said giggling. "Oh! Well I think he was a Prince. Why so curious, aye lassie?" Allistor asked. "I just want information. Say Allistor? Was he involved in any... recent cases? Like um.. a kidnaping case or something?" Lili asked. "Yeah I think he was in some kind of case about a kidnapping of a little girl around your age. I don't remember the details very much though." Maria quickly jolted that down. "Do you er know the girls name?" Lili asked. "I think her name was Mei or some kind of foreign name. Thinkin' about it, I think the father of the girl is in the mansion! His name is Yao I believe.." Allistor said grabbing something. "Thank you Mr. Allistor. You're information was very helpful." Arthur smiled. Allistor turned around quickly and gaped at them. "Y-Ye heard all of that?!" He asked shocked. Maria and Arthur nodded. "Why didn't ye warn me, lassie?!" He asked Lili. She shrugged. Maria smiled at him warmly. "You won't be in much trouble unless you're the murderer. If you're not then you have nothing to worry about!" She smiled. "Thank Ye, lassie. You're not bad to look at, what's yer name?" He asked smirking. "Maria Diaz Hernandez Santos." She said shaking his hand. He had a girly grip that Maria took note of. "This is my Superior, Arthur Kirkland." Allistor smirked. "I know who he is. Is this yer new girl?" Arthur turned a bright red. "Assistant." He corrected him. "C'mon lad I'm just messin' with my wee lil brother!" Allistor said hugging him. Maria and Lili giggled at the two. "W-We don't have time for this! We have to go interview Mr. Yao and at least ten other people!!" Arthur said freeing himself of Allistor's grasp. Maria nodded. "Alright then! Visit me if Ye need any more info, alright?" Allistor said smiling. "Alright." The two said as they walked out. "So Mr. Yao's room right?" Maria asked. Arthur shook his head. "Before that I wanted to show you something.." Arthur led her to the body and pointed at the neck area. "It seems as if he was stabbed by a syringe!" Maria exclaimed. "Only a few know a lot about medicine, not including us." Arthur scowled. "Like that blasted Frenchman." Maria thought for a bit before grabbing his wrist. "He's first!" Arthur stared at her, shocked. "The Frenchman?!" Her response was a small nod. "One question. You're related to Allistor?" Maria smiled. Arthur blushed. "Long story now can we please go to the Frenchman's room and get this interview over with?!?" Maria smiled. "Patience Arthur. patience."

WHOA! We learned some new things didn't we, lassie? GOD I LOVE TYPING LIKE THAT! So far we've learned the Antonio was a prince, was in a case involving a young girls kidnapping, had a stab in his neck, & is from Spain. That's a lot of progress, da?

Until next chapter, Liebes!
