Next day. Queen woke up from her sleep, the girl was initially unconscious. But when he realized the position of his hand hugged Regan tightly. His head was right on the chest of the male field.
"Crazy...what the hell is this?" inner Queen.
The girl looked back at her hand. Not only did she hug Regan, but the man also hugged her body. Regan's burly hands coiled around her stomach. Queen was silent to the warmth of Regan's embrace, Regan's regular heartbeat sounding comfortable in her ears.
"What feeling is this?" inner again.
The girl shook her head repeatedly, then slowly let go of her embrace and Regan's embrace. He does that slowly so Regan doesn't wake up from her sleep. It wasn't because of anything, she didn't want Regan to know how their sleeping position just now was. After escaping, the girl went to the balcony.
But not according to Queen's expectations, before Queen woke up actually Regan was awake first. But he prefers to pretend to sleep to know what Queen would do when they know their sleeping position like that. Eits, but it wasn't Regan who purposely hugged the girl. The hug scene was purely unintentional as they fell asleep unconscious with their movements.
"Basic.." he sizzled Regan then woke up from her sleep. The man sat down and looked towards the balcony. A girl was standing there. Regan chose to approach him.
"What are you doing?" ask Regan.
"A-you're up?" ask Queen back.
"Hm, just now." Regan deliberately lied so Queen wouldn't be ashamed.
"Ah that. Now then? How's bath? We don't have a change of clothes, do we?" ask Queen with her innocent face.
"Just relax, my uncle-" has not finished Regan speaking suddenly the door on knock from the outside. Regan smiled as she looked at Queen, "Look, the answer to your question has arrived" she said, then left to open the door.
The door opened and saw a man dressed as a royal servant carrying a tray containing two pairs of clothes, one pair of men's clothes and one pair of women's clothes. Queen was stunned to see the clothes worn by the female servant.
"I'm teleporting to what age?" muttered Queen astonished.
Since yesterday the girl was astonished. Starting from the remote location of this house, then a house similar to a fantasy kingdom, and now the service is also dressed as a royal servant.
"Why that expression of yours?" ask Regan in amazement.
"No, I just didn't expect Senior Louis to like this style of home" Queen replied.
Regan smiles. He understood with Queen's intent. Indeed, his uncle's taste was somewhat different from the others. He is rich but still wants to be a detective for many years. He said just join.
Regan gives a change of clothes to Queen, and tells her to take a bath in the bathroom in this room. While he went outside the room and took a bath in the bathroom near the kitchen.
After bathing and breakfast they both took Loius to the flower garden near the stables. Queen's eyes immediately glared when they knew what flowers were planted there.
"These flowers." murmured Queen while pointing to the flowers.
Loius smiled meaningfully looking at Queen who was looking at her beloved flowers with a serious look. "So? What do you want to ask until you come all the way here?" ask Louis.
"Senior has certainly not heard about the case I've been handling lately?" ask the Queen back to the one Louis was referring to. "I'd like to ask, did the case have anything to do with my mother's death five years ago?" ask Queen.
"Don't your mother die of heart disease?"
Queen was speechless as she disagreed with what her former senior had said. In his heart he still did not accept the death of his mother was said only because of heart disease. Though he believes his mother was deliberately killed by poisoning through intravenous fluids.
Loius chuckled softly at Queen's expression. "True, the case you were working on when it had something to do with your mother's death. Your mother died not from heart disease, but from poisoning. And this is what used to poison your mother" Loius said as he stared at the Wolfsbane flower garden in front of them.
The fact that Louis said made Queen stunned. Apparently his guess was not wrong. One that becomes the question. "Who did that?" ask Queen.
Louis breathed a rough sigh. "I do know who did it. But I can't tell you because I'm bound by a promise with his parents to protect him for the rest of my life" Louis replied with his head lowered.
"Can't uncle tell us the man's traits?" ask Regan.
Louis was silent for a moment. "I can't mention his features directly. But...." Loius hung up his sentence then looked at Queen and Regan took turns with a serious look. "The culprit is all around you" he continued.
The hearts of the two of them instantly beat rapidly in shock at the information they had not expected.
"He was alone, meaning he had no plotters or men to help him carry out his mission. He only kills people close to you, detective Queen." Louis said. His eyes turned to look at Regan. "Even maybe you will also be the victim." he added.
"Me?" regan asked while pointing at himself who was nodded by Louis.
"Why did he put these flowers in every place where his victims died?" ask Queen.
"She's beautiful, but deadly. The flower describes itself. All of his victims were killed using the flower's poison. After the victim died, then he dismembered the victim's body." Louis replied as it were.
Regan was silent trying to think about who her uncle meant, that person was around them. That means they know the perpetrator, there's even a chance that he's their close friend. But he could not conclude this just like that, the fall even became a slander.
"Listen to uncle. The culprit is all around you. Do not trust anyone but yourself. You don't know what the people around you are doing behind your back" Louis said.
"Seeing from uncle's words, why is it as if I also have something to do with this?" ask Regan curiously.
Loius. Then answer. "You have something to do with all this Regan" he said.
