Molly's tone was very calm, but Wayne's expression immediately changed.
He immediately shot a sharp look at Jaime.
Jaime instantly felt a chill down his spine, he said solemnly, “We were playing by the lotus pond gazebo just now, Ivy mentioned smelling a foul odor, and when I took a closer look, I indeed detected a stench. I thought maybe an animal had died in the pond, so I started searching subconsciously…”
The scene in front of him was probably something Jaime would never forget in his life.
His eyes first caught sight of a few flies buzzing around the lush lotus leaves.
He instinctively walked towards it, and then he found a swollen, discolored human foot hiding under the lotus leaves.
“Did Ivy see it?” Wayne asked, his face turning sour.
“No. As soon as I saw it, I blocked the kids’ view. I picked Ivy up, grabbed Cory, and ran back.” Jaime quickly replied, glancing at the composed Molly, “Molly, you were so close to me, did you also realize something was off about that smell?”
“I knew it was the stench of a corpse, so I sent Ivy, Cory and Liam to look on the other side.” Molly responded, “I know who's the dead one!”
“You know?” Jaime was dumbfounded, a thought suddenly struck him, “Don’t tell me you…”
Molly looked at him with clear eyes, “I'm just a regular elementary school student now, I don't kill people.”
Jaime subconsciously became prejudiced towards Molly...
“The pants on the corpse, I’ve seen them before.” Molly continued, “It belongs to the butler who has been missing for two days.”
“The butler has been missing for two days? How did you know?” Jaime asked, shocked, while simultaneously shooting a message to Baillie.
He had already sent Baillie a message as soon as he found the body.
This time, he added the information that the deceased might be the butler.
