When the woman screamed, she obviously used all her strength, and the sound penetrated the entire mansion, and after a while, the entire mansion was alarmed.

The guards rushed to the third floor of the mansion. The servants were in a state of panic, and the whole mansion was in disarray.

Soon, Rosen recovered from his initial shock, and he listened intently to the sounds coming from the rooms.

About a dozen of the guards went to the third floor, and their footsteps eventually stopped on the balcony at the end of the corridor on the third floor....... Hmm~ There was a voice coming, the floor structure was too complicated, there were too many echoes, and I couldn't hear what was being said, but it was definitely not the earl who had the accident. ’

The reason is very simple, because Rosen heard the earl's shouting on the second floor of the mansion, although he couldn't hear the content of the words clearly, but his voice was full of anger, and it didn't look like he was injured.

"Since it's not the Earl, who is the one who died?"

With this question in mind, Rosen knocked on the back door of the kitchen again, and a middle-aged woman's panicked voice came from behind the door: "Who's outside?" ”

"It's me, Lawson the gardener."

"You...... What are you here for? The woman's voice came out again.

"It was Mr. Linnaeus, the head of the flower house, who asked me to come over, and he asked me to bring a message...... Are you Aunt Hallie? ”

"Squeak~"

The door opened, and it was Harley, the cook. Her face was pale and pale, and when she saw Rosen, her arm, which was thicker than Rosen's thigh, stretched out and pulled Rosen into the kitchen: "Come in and talk, it's not peaceful outside." ”

"What's wrong, Aunt Hallie?" Rosen asked, he didn't expect that Harley, a cook who was five big and three thick, with a waist like a bucket, would be as bold as a rabbit.

Hallie hid in a corner of the kitchen, her eyes looking around, as if she was afraid of a ghost popping up in the dark corner: "Boy, let me tell you, there is a dead man on the third floor." ”

"Dead? Who died? Rosen asked busily.

"I don't know yet. But Anna has already inquired, and she'll be back soon. ”

Anna is also a cook in the kitchen, in fact, there are more than a dozen cooks in this kitchen, four official cooks, but it is just the time of the afternoon, so there are not so many people in the kitchen.

Rosen continued, "Aunt Hallie, Mr. Linnaeus asked me to pass on a message. He said that the round-headed white mushrooms in the mushroom room will not fully ripen until the day after tomorrow, and when the time comes, they will be used to stew soup, and the soup will be very delicious. If you pick the ground early, you won't have this taste. ”

Hallie nodded repeatedly, "Oh, I remember." That one...... That young man, don't leave yet, stay here with me, I'm a little scared alone. ”

"Okay." Lawson actually wanted to know who died.

The two waited in the kitchen for about ten minutes, and a fat woman with a waist thicker than Aunt Hallie's came out of the kitchen door, it was the cook Anna.

Anna was much bolder than Hallie, and as soon as she arrived in the kitchen, she saw Rosen and greeted her warmly: "Handsome guy, why do you have time to come over today, are you hungry?" Come, my sister has a meatloaf here. ”

As she spoke, she actually took the meatloaf out of the pot by the stove.

Although Rosen and Anna had only known each other for two days, they knew that this cook would not be polite to anyone, and said that if she gave the meatloaf, it was really for him, so he took the meatloaf and thanked: "Thank you, big sister." I had come to deliver news to Mr. Linnaeus, and that happened to be the case. ”

"Oh~" Anna's face was abrupt, she suddenly lowered her voice, and her eyebrows fluttered: "Guess, who is in trouble?" ”

When Harley saw her like this, she feigned anger and said, "It's all dead, and you're still laughing." Don't sell it, let's talk, what the hell is going on? ”

Anna then said, "It was Old John who died." ”

Rosen was stunned: "That old John? ”

Anna pouted: "Which one else, the old pervert who is with you in the flower room." ”

"......" Rosen didn't expect such a thing to happen at all, wasn't he just whined, caught, and whipped a few times, how could he die? Is Count Derek a little too ruthless?

Rosen asked, "Was he beaten to death?" ”

Anna shook her head repeatedly: "No. According to Guard Drew, nine times out of ten when looking at the scene, it was a suicide. I heard that the old guy had just been whipped by the manager more than a dozen times for being too talkative, maybe he couldn't get his face up and down, and he couldn't think about it, so he hit his head against the wall. ”

Hallie looked incredulous: "How is that possible?" Old John was cheeky, and even if his skin was broken, he would never commit suicide. Someone must have harmed him! ”

Rosen also didn't believe it, although he had only known Old John for a short time, but with Old John's lazy temperament, if he would commit suicide because of a few whips, the old sow would be able to climb the tree.

Anna shook her head again and again, and said colorfully, "Drew is not the only one who says this. In fact, the first person to notice that something was wrong was Lorna. Hallie, remember that Lorna? ”

Hallie nodded: "Of course I remember, the maid who is smaller than me, skinny and small, specializes in cleaning on the third floor." ”

Anna looked mysterious: "She saw old John banging his head against the wall at the end of the corridor, at first, it was a gentle collision, while bumping, crying, and then hitting it more and more heavily, and he killed himself." You don't know, I went to see it, old John's brains were knocked out and pulled, white flowers and cream, tsk, miserable~"

Hallie trembled with fright, her teeth gurgling: "It's really fake, old John is not usually such a person." Could it be that he has fallen for some evil? ”

"Who knows. I'm not going to go to the third floor anyway, it doesn't matter if he falls in love with us. But Lorna is miserable, she is in charge of cleaning the ground on the third floor, and she still lives in a cubicle in the corner of the third floor. As soon as this happened, she was very upset. Anna gloated, not taking Old John's life seriously.

Rosen had been listening, and when he had finished, he asked, "Was there anyone else there besides Lorna?" ”

Anna shook her head: "I don't know much about that. However, I just saw that Lorna's face was pale when she was frightened alone, and there was usually no one on the third floor, so she should have seen the whole process alone, right? ”

Rosen asked again, "Why didn't Lorna stop Old John if she found out that something was wrong with him early on?" ”

"Who knows?" Anna sat down and took a sip of water: "But if it were me, I wouldn't be too lazy to meddle." Who would have thought that old John, the pervert, would not be able to think about it and slam his head into the flowers? ”

"That's just as well." Lawson nodded.

He saw that Anna had said about the same, and couldn't ask anything more, so he said, "I still have something to do in the flower room, so I'll go back first." ”

He turned and walked out of the kitchen, but instead of running around, he honestly walked all the way back to the glass flower room.

It's not that he doesn't want to check the scene, but because the Blue Moon Mansion has recently been under martial law, and it is strictly forbidden for servants to visit the door everywhere, once he is caught, he will be whipped at the least, or driven out of the mansion on the spot, and he will not talk about it at all.

It is said that this was the idea of the sorceress Lilith.

Thinking of the sorceress Lilith, Rosen looked back at the third floor of the mansion: "You should also be investigating the scene on the third floor now, I don't know if you can find out something." ”

Rosen guessed correctly, Lilith was indeed at the scene of death, Count Derek and the three captains of the guards in the mansion were also there, and as for the other idlers, except for the maid Lorna, the first witness, all of them were blown away by Count Derrick.

Lilith wore a leather glove in her hand, reached out and brushed the hair on the back of Old John's head, looked at it, and said, "It's not a suicide, someone grabbed his head and hit the wall to death." ”

Lorna cried with a sad face: "But ...... But I only saw Old John alone. ”

Count Derek didn't believe it either: "In the afternoon, the sun is shining right in this area, so bright, Lorna won't be dazzled, right?" ”

"Don't believe me?" Lily glanced at the Count.

The Count spread his hands.

"I'll prove it."

She took out a shiny blade from her waist bag, and quickly scraped it on Old John's scalp, shaving off several handfuls of hair, revealing a few clean scalps, on which five blue-purple spots were visible, and if you looked closely at the shape of the spots, they were finger prints, and the position corresponded to a person's gesture of opening five fingers.

Everyone present gasped when they saw it.
