Chapter 222: Leeds' Manor (9)
The dark-skinned man just looked tall, but in fact, his momentum was very weak, and his wife was obviously not a character to be messed with, with a sideways face and a terrifying appearance. In the face of such a lady, maybe she can be honest and die more comfortably......
The number of onlookers gradually increased, and the bell rang on the hour outside, and it was time to eat.
The housekeeper, who was dressed as a maid, rushed over half an hour after the quarrel and carefully asked the reason for the incident, but the butler, who looked young, made a very powerful decision.
"Since the maid made a mistake and angered Mrs. Leeds' important guest, she should be executed."
Hearing this, the husband and wife, who were still arguing, stopped arguing and looked at the housekeeper in unison.
"Come, bring the woman who made the mistake and let the viscountess identify it, and if it is verified, then ...... In an hour, I would take her to the execution ground. ”
As he spoke, the man was brought up.
It was the maid who tried to buy Chi Yu with her flesh last night.
In the discussion of the onlookers, Chi Yu knew the identity of the dark-skinned man - he was a viscount who was not favored by everyone, and his fierce wife, I heard that she had a very strong maiden background, even if she was married to a viscount, she never had the intention of being afraid of the other party, not only never saved face for him in public, but also scolded him behind his back, and managed him so that he dared to be angry and dare not speak.
"Wow, that's interesting." Chi Yu said with a smile in his heart, "Throughout the ages, the fault of such a thing as cheating is counted on the head of the woman, and the man is clean, this is a model of ruthlessness." ”
The execution was exactly what the Viscount wanted, and without hesitation, he agreed to the housekeeper's suggestion, and took advantage of the lunchtime to be courteous to his wife.
However......
Before lunch was over, something new happened.
A flustered servant rolled down from the second floor, and began to cry in front of all the visitors, crying and slurring his words, "No, it's not good! Yes, someone hanged himself in ......"
"Looks like it's another death." Chi Yu sighed, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and watched with everyone.
A few minutes later, the capable housekeeper walked down from the second floor with a gloomy face, followed by several black-clad bodyguards, who carried a stretcher in their hands, and the white cloth on the stretcher outlined a human figure.
"What's going on?" Someone in the crowd asked.
The housekeeper sighed and motioned for the two bodyguards who were carrying the body to put down the stretcher.
"Miss Harrison's killed herself in her room."
The white cloth was lifted by the do-gooders, revealing a face that had become terrifying due to suffocation, and frightened many people.
"Harrison? Is that the Harrison family, one of the newspaper's Big Three? ”
"Exactly."
"It's a problem, the Harrison family is not small, her father is a very talented man, and he has a lot of connections in politics...... This ......"
"So what?" The housekeeper's expression was very calm, "Everyone who comes here should abide by Mrs. Leeds's rules, if they don't follow the rules, then ...... Even if he died, he just deserved it. ”
The crowd fell silent.
Chi Yu took advantage of the gap in the crowd to see the deceased's face clearly, and immediately matched the information in his head.
"This woman...... If I'm not mistaken, I think it was the third from the bottom on the left side last night. Chi Yu thought in her heart, "At the dinner yesterday, she wore a dark coat, her sense of presence was relatively weak, she buried herself in eating the whole time, and did not do anything that could make an impression. Such a person, even if he kills him and then disguises himself as suicide, it will not arouse everyone's suspicion, after all, a person who has no sense of existence is the easiest to become cannon fodder. ”
Last night's detective, Will, stood at the front of the crowd, looking at the crowd with different looks, thoughtfully.
"Can I take a look at the body?" Will asked.
The housekeeper made a gesture of please.
Will nodded, then crouched down, dug through his jacket pocket for a pair of dissecting white gloves, and began to look through Miss Harrison's body.
This middle-aged man, who is dressed ordinarily and even a little simply, has a very sharp gaze and an unusually calmness.
Ten minutes later.
"The time of death, around 10 o'clock last night, the cause of death ...... It's not suffocation. ”
"It can't be! At 10 o'clock last night, the banquet had not even started, how could she have died at that time? Last night's lady in the black dress stood up again, but this time, she refuted Will's opinion, "Will, your judgment should be more reliable." ”
"I'm not going to convince you to trust my judgment, ma'am." Will took off his gloves, "I'm just announcing the truth." ”
"What? Are you laughing at me! ”
"I'm not laughing at you, ma'am."
"It's a disappointment, it's disgusting to have this kind of unpleasant thing happen every time I eat, and disturb my pleasure ...... dining."
"Ma'am, you can continue to eat, in fact, no one forced you to stand here and look at the corpse."
Detective Will's indifferent face is truly speechless.
He doesn't care what others think of him, he just objectively states a fact, and yet...... His objectivity makes people feel cruel.
Maybe......
He didn't know what his image had become in other people's hearts, he didn't even care about it, he didn't know why everyone was laughing, so he showed a slightly puzzled look.
The lady in the black dress wanted to say something more, but when she saw that the people around her were covering their mouths, looking like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, she immediately lost her temper: "You are all laughing at me!" You're all looking at my jokes, aren't you? Damn fools, damn ......"
After hearing the invective of the lady in the black dress who had lost her grace, he understood.
Ah, that's ...... The people around him were laughing at him.
After figuring out this, he was relieved and regained his calm appearance.
"The real cause of death was a heart attack. The killer sneaked into her room before 10 o'clock, and it was at that time that he bumped into Miss Harrison, who was about to go to a banquet, and caused her to suffer an unbearable shock, causing her to have a heart attack, and the second thing the killer did was Miss Harrison, who had a heart attack...... Hung on the wall. ”
Will said, making a twisting motion, his eyes tinged with a certain murderous aura.
