Chapter Eighty-Three: Death Upon Succession
At night, there is always great silence, and several ravens fly by outside the window. The noisy cries add a bit of weirdness to this ancient castle.
I sat on the couch and watched everyone's reactions.
When the mistress died, the cook and the servants seemed restless, and even if they didn't do it, they were not to blame.
Most of the rest of the guests had fears and unease on their faces, but there was only one woman... Her reaction seemed to be somewhat different.
Underneath the same fear, there seemed to be a grim smile in her expression.
And the man's reaction to his wife's death, except for the heart-rending cry just now, seems to be a little too calm.
Seeing this, I already have a rough conjecture in my heart.
The man had an affair with this woman, but he didn't want to be discovered by his wife and killed people first, and the motive was there, so what was the method?
Is it poison! The hostess's face seemed to be sickly pale.
But is the truth really that simple?
At this time, Li Tianyi walked over: "It seems that you already have an answer." β
I got up lightly and said in a heavy tone, "Let's investigate first!" There's no point in guessing here. β
He nodded, and the two of us came to the living room.
The man watched us leave, and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going, no one can move until the real culprit is found." β
"We're here to get to the bottom of it." I looked at him and said.
"That's the police, you'll have to listen to me here." He looked at me and shouted.
"Your own woman is dead, and you don't care about the truth at all, you're a bastard." I watched him shout, my body trembling with rage.
The man's eyes lit up, and he was about to have a seizure. At this time, Li Tianyi took a step forward, held up a work card, and said, "My identity is a policeman." Let's investigate! β
The man glanced at Li Tianyi and said, "You can go, but he can't go." β
"He's my helper in my investigation, I have to take him with me, I believe you won't refuse a policeman's request!" Li Tianyi said calmly, and he specially accented the word "request".
The man stared at him deadly, his eyes full of threats, as if he had said that you had thought about it, and you would die if you meddled in your business.
And Li Tianyi did just look at him lightly.
After a long time, the male protagonist said, "Let it be, but if you damage anything, you have to pay double the compensation." β
"Of course!" Li Tianyi replied lightly.
"Hmph." He snorted and walked away, glaring at me fiercely as he left.
Li Tianyi and I also walked to the other side and began to investigate.
The first stop is the place where the crime occurred, the bedroom. "I said, why are you a policeman?" I crouched on the ground and said as I searched.
"The game gives each of us an identity, I'm a police officer." Li Tianyi glanced at me and said lightly.
"And what am I?" I asked, expectantly.
"You..." Li Tianyi looked at me and touched his chin and pretended to think.
"How do I know?" He shrugged and turned around.
"You," I picked up a notebook and threw it at him.
"You..." Li Tianyi frowned and looked at me just as I was about to speak, when I found that there were words on the notebook.
He picked up his notebook and flipped through a few pages, his brow furrowing.
After a while, he put the notebook in front of me, "This is the truth!" β
I looked at him and took the notebook, and saw what it was written by the manβX/17/20XX: Oh, my dear God, today I met a beautiful girl, she is so beautiful, compared to her, my wife is simply extremely ugly.
Today, X/25/20XX, we are officially together, and I have a little worry in addition to excitement.
I am a wealthy man, and the property rights of the house belong to my wife, what should I do?
On X/26/20XX, by the way, she happened to have a chronic disease, as long as the dose was controlled, she could be allowed to die slowly, hahaha......
At the end of the diary, I looked at the notebook in my hand, full of doubts, this notebook seemed to have been deliberately put by someone. The closer you get to the truth, the more confusing it becomes!
"Cao Fan?" Li Tianyi looked at the silent me and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Ahh I'm fine. I shook my head and fell silent again.
Li Tianyi gave me a strange look, got up and said, "Go and tell them the truth!" The longer we stay in this game, the greater the danger we will become. β
I nodded and followed him out.
We had just walked into the living room only to find them looking at us strangely.
"What the hell is going on?" I was the first to speak.
"The man is dead." Xiang Tian looked at us and said.
"What?!" Li Tianyi and I shouted at the same time.
"He was stoned to death when he went to the toilet when he fell from the chandelier on the top of the toilet." The housekeeper on the side said in a heavy tone.
Li Tianyi threw the notebook in front of everyone and said, "The male owner is the murderer who killed the hostess, and now the truth is revealed." Let's go! β
Listening to his words, everyone looked at each other in confusion, and Xiang Tian and I were also silent.
After a long time, I looked at him and said, "Maybe, it's not over yet!" β
