Can I take a look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Taotie hid behind Ji Guang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Guang glanced at the girl, “Right now, solving the case is the most important.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl shrugged, “I was just curious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Taotie managed to protect her pocket and prevent others from seeing her toy pipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She too wanted to play the great detective Sherlock Holmes, but her timing was off due to a lost tooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between showing off and losing face, she naturally chose not to lose face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even if she realized something was off about the Gardener, always looking toward the direction of the dog hole, she wouldn’t say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Murder always requires a motive. Why would the maid and Gardener want to kill the Earl? The Earl is not a bad person, and he doesn’t seem like the type to mistreat his servants,” a middle-aged artist remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl pursed her lips, “In front of us, he certainly wouldn’t show any signs of mistreating his servants, but who knows how he treats them when we’re gone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regardless of how he treats his servants, it doesn’t justify killing him, right? You know, if the master dies here, they won’t end up well either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly is the murder motive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I feel…the maid’s gaze at the Earl is a bit off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Off?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It has a look of admiration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft!” The girl laughed, “You must be mistaken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Gardener likes gardening,” Ji Guang suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Likes gardening? That’s not surprising, after all, he is a Gardener. It’s his job to care for the plants and flowers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, if he didn’t know how to garden, he wouldn’t be qualified to be a Gardener, would he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Guang shook his head, “The Earl isn’t rich, he couldn’t afford such a professional Gardener.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He is still an Earl, after all—a camel, even when starved, is still bigger than a horse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, he should have enough money to hire a Gardener.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe the Earl also liked gardening, otherwise he wouldn’t have hired a Gardener.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Ji Guang clapped his hands, “Exactly, if there’s no money, why hire a Gardener at all? A Gardener isn’t necessary! If you’re hiring two servants, you could go for a maid and a guard, or a maid and a cook, so why hire a Gardener who isn’t much use? If there’s no money, why bother with the yard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like a lightbulb went off for the girl, “Unless, aside from tending the garden, the Gardener has another use.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Guang and she looked at each other and said in unison, “Selling flowers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobility here all liked to indulge in refined tastes, so the flowers were very expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they sold the flowers, they could indeed make a good sum of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Gardener loves to garden, but the flowers he grows end up being sold by the Earl. Feeling resentment towards the Earl, he is driven to murder?” the girl speculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man shook his head, “That’s unlikely, isn’t it? Killing over flowers? That’s just too insane. Plus, even with a different master, it would be the same fate; the servants’ belongings are all meant to be handed over to the master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, killing over some flowers, that’s just not reasonable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Earl that was killed, over flowers, of all things. How is that possible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also find it unrealistic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s not about the flowers, then what is it for? What exactly is the Gardener’s murder motive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people exchanged glances and fell into silence once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when they thought they had a lead, everything became more confusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them with furrowed brows, Little Taotie also wrinkled her little brow, getting caught up in the dilemma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fished a face mask out of her pocket quietly and put it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that no one opposed her wearing it, she felt justified in keeping the mask on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mask-clad Little Taotie spoke up, “I saw a dog hole, a rather large one.”\u003C\u002Fp>",728,"2026-06-08T09:58:40.032Z",1,"novelbin.me","37f16ef9bffab0cec554be6dd7c7dd5de5b33b901e6c06ca11a81120ba394e19","the-lovely-heiress-is-actually-a-god-beast-chapter-758","the-lovely-heiress-is-actually-a-god-beast-chapter-757",1668,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lovely-heiress-is-actually-a-god-beast-cover.jpg"]
