Over the next few days, Henry's situation was mixed.

In order to help keep him alive, Hawke had to feed him meat soup every day, but he was still getting thinner and thinner.

Just when everyone thought that Henry couldn't hold out for another week.

His high fever actually gradually subsided, and as soon as the news came out, the doctor said that it was a miracle, and Henry might not have to die.

Henry doesn't have to die?

Lin Yao was not happy with the news, and was even a little disappointed.

He wasn't cold-blooded, but if Henry survived, his share of money would have shrunk severely.

"Let's celebrate in the evening and wish our boss a speedy awakening!"

Taylor bought roast goose and rum and suggested to the crowd.

No one could object to the free drinks, and everyone drank a lot that night, talking about their plans for the future.

Before you know it, everyone is drunk, and even Lin Yao dreams that he has become a billionaire and lives a sinful life of a capitalist society with a lot of money and drinking.

When I woke up, it was already the next morning.

Lin Yao patted his head with a faint pain, suspecting that Taylor was buying fake wine, and good rum would not give people a headache.

"Taylor, where did you buy your wine, I have a headache to death!"

Lin Yao went out with the smell of wine, and asked Taylor's room while going to the water room to wash.

"Morning!"

Glass also got up, he first said hello to Lin Yao, and then went to the boss's room.

Click!!

There was a knock on the door, followed by Glass's muttering, "Henry, are you feeling better today?" ”

"Henry!!"

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yao heard that Glass's voice was a little wrong, and walked over with a towel.

Looking into the room, Henry was lying upright on the bed, his face purple and blue, and there was a pinch mark on his neck.

......

Henry died, strangled to death the night when his fever subsided, and he probably survived.

It was a premeditated murder, and judging by the ashes that the killer dropped on the ground, he even smoked a cigar without haste after killing Henry.

The drawers in the room showed signs of being turned over, and everything of value was missing, including his fur coat.

The sheriff in the city came over and took a look.

He was not a detective like Sherlock Holmes, and after a brief review and questioning, he quickly defined the case as burglary and murder.

Other than that, he didn't do anything.

"You may have been targeted by a thief, who knew that there was an immobile patient, and that there might be something of value, so he broke in through the window at night, stole Mr. Henry's belongings, and ended his life."

The sheriff was a middle-aged man, and after a few words of reassurance to everyone, he quickly chose to leave: "I will post a notice in the city, and I will notify you immediately if there is news, please mourn and change your ways." ”

After a few words, the sheriff left.

Lin Yao and his party are not local residents, and they didn't give him filial piety, so you don't have to expect him to be very dedicated.

After the sheriff left, Glass summoned Lin Yao and the others, and said bluntly: "I suspect that the person who killed the boss is among us!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other.

Hawke saw that everyone's mood was a little wrong, and was the first to speak: "None of us smoked cigars, and the murderer left cigarette ashes at the scene!" ”

"Soot is misleading, and you don't have to smoke a cigar to leave it." Glass said.

"Why should we kill the boss?"

William was the second to speak, shrugged his shoulders and said, "We share ups and downs, and you shouldn't doubt us." ”

Glass knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday we were sure that the boss might get better, and he would be killed in the evening, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" Why kill the boss, is it enough for the sake of money? If the boss dies, this batch will have no owner, don't think I don't know, many of you are fighting its idea! ”

The crowd fell silent.

Lin Yao looked at Taylor, then at Glass, and even William and Hawke were glanced at by him.

He knows very well that he is not the one who attacked Henry, and a gentleman loves money in a good way, and he still has this bottom line.

In addition to him, all four people present were suspected, including Glass himself.

Of course, Lin Yao felt that it was unlikely to be Glass, and if Glass wanted to swallow this batch of goods, he only needed to leave the boss in the wilderness.

The fact that he was able to pull his boss out of the reserve with a homemade sleigh shows that his loyalty is still guaranteed.

On the contrary, it is Taylor's uncle and nephew, who are more likely to attack the boss.

Because last night, Taylor had bought the wine and food, and if they hadn't been drunk, they would probably have found out about the burglar, if he was really a thief.

"What do you have to say?"

Glass's face was furious, like an angry golden lion.

"Alas!"

Lin Yao sighed and spread his hands: "There are a lot of ideas, but there is no evidence, and in the absence of evidence, I don't want to doubt my partner." ”

"Me too, I'd rather believe it was a burglary, a murder, than believe that my boss died at our hands."

Taylor also spoke, full of emotion: "I have been with the boss for several years, he is a good person, we all respect him, I am sadder than anyone else when this happens." ”

"Mr. Henry is a nice man, and I have great respect for him." William followed suit.

Glass opened his mouth, picked up the bottle without saying a word, and drank a small half bottle of rum in one gulp.

He couldn't ask any more, not to mention whether he could ask the answer, and if he didn't get it, it would cause everyone to break up.

Now that the boss has just died, Lin Yao and Taylor have brought Hawke out safely, and he has to admit this favor.

"That's it, I'll go out and look for people in a while to bring the fur out as soon as possible." Glass's face turned pale, and he continued: "After the fur is brought out, it is sold for money, and everyone will go their separate ways after dividing the money." ”

Lin Yao nodded slightly, this is already the best result.

Along the way, the three months in the camp were like shadows, and they seemed so vulnerable in the face of money.

It seems that the idea of opening a factory in partnership with Glass to produce hunter's bait has also been dashed.

Henry's death had filled their seemingly harmonious surfaces with rifts, and Lin Yao could swear that Glass must have been more suspicious of him than the respected leathersmith foreman Taylor.

This is not difficult to explain.

Lin Yao worked with Glass for three months, and Glass knew very well that he was a ruthless person.

He likes to carve crosses on bullets to ensure that the bullets will explode inside the animal, an act that no other hunter has ever had.

One is Taylor, a good old man who is drunk and bald all day, and the other is a young and strong young man who looks dangerous.

If it were you, who would you think would be more suspicious?

"Did you kill the boss?"

While eating lunch, William asked Lin Yao in a whisper.

Lin Yao shook his head lightly and silently gave a negative speech.

William was a little unconvinced, and said in a low voice: "My uncle said that it was you who did it, he asked Glass, Captain Gerald did not meet the first echelon at all, and said that you may have killed Gerald in that fruit grove, and then lied to us that he had left." ”

Lin Yao looked at William deeply, patted him on the shoulder, and replied, "I advise you, it's best to be careful of your uncle, his story may be much more than it seems!" ”

"Are you serious?"

"Maybe!"
