191: Identity
The skeleton lying on the big bed was wearing a bunny-print pajamas, covered with a thin quilt, and folded its hands on its abdomen, as if it was sleeping quietly.
A few people unconsciously slowed their movements, as if they were afraid of disturbing its light sleep, and walked lightly to the side of the bed to observe the newly appearing skeleton.
Its skeleton was smaller than the one that Eric had dropped on the floor, and its bones showed signs of blackening, and judging from the clothing on its body, it was a female skeleton.
"What's the situation? Why is there a skeleton in this room?! Eric lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress his irritable emotions.
He was completely bewildered by the situation in front of him.
Didn't you say that you had to move the bones of your "daughter" back to her room, and finally moved to the second floor, why are there still a pair of bones lying in the room?
Vera consciously bears Eric's wrath, and she, like everyone else, is confused by the situation in the room. But as a smart heroine, she turned the corner in just a moment.
"Obviously, we were misled by the news." Vera said.
"There were 3 corpses mentioned in the report, and the ingredients of poison were found in the stomach of the daughter, so we subconsciously identified the poisoned corpse as the little owner Lilith. But as things stand, there should have been four dead. β
The news in the newspaper does provide quite a bit of useful information, but it is not necessarily completely accurate.
Vera carefully compared the details of the two skeletons, and the skeleton on the bed was clearly more in line with "Lilith's" characteristics than the one on the floor.
If the corpse in the basement is not the little owner, then the suspicion on the envelope can be explained.
The letter written by the man to his lover should not have appeared next to the body of his daughter. It was supposed to be in the hands of the lover Jennifer, or they also had the audacity to speculate that the letter was discovered by the mistress Monica.
The crib in the basement, the doll that fell on the floor, was more like a mother's tool for coaxing her child than a toy for her daughter Lilith.
"Could it be that the person who died in the basement was Jennifer?" Augs asked.
Vera nodded, then shook her head after a while, "It's possible, but it's also possible." β
Andri, Monica, Jennifer, Lilith......
In the story of the castle, there are four known characters, and the corpse in the basement is a woman, which can rule out the possibility of Andri. After discovering the bones in the bedroom, Lilith can also rule out suspicions.
The only ones left were Monica and Jennifer.
Who will be the one who dies in the basement?
"Don't think about it, it must be that junior." Eric said, "I got involved in other people's feelings, and finally the hostess found him poisoned in the basement, so I became a ghost because of my resentment." β
Eric's words are extreme, but they are indeed a possibility.
Andri's letter says that Monica has gone completely insane. As a crazy woman, poisoning the mistress who snatched her husband, such an extreme thing is not impossible to do.
"What do you explain about the strollers and dolls in the basement?" Vera asked.
There's nothing wrong with putting people in a basement and poisoning them, but if they've poisoned Jennifer, why put strollers and dolls in them?
Eric was stopped by Vera, "Where are there so many whys!" β
He began to babble in exasperation, saying a very bloody brain supplement, "Maybe that lover is pregnant, but the mistress beats the child and becomes a psychopath, thinking that the doll is her child......"
He said that he also felt that the plot made up was bloody, and stopped indignantly halfway through the story.
Vera laughed at him, "Eric, I don't see you still have a talent for writing soap operas. There are too many contradictions in this story, why would the vicious hostess take the doll Jennifer, and watch her psychoticβ"
"Wait a minute, psychopath?" Vera seemed to think of something, "Did the man mention that the hostess has a family genetic disease?" β
"Yes, he said that the hostess hid his family genetic history from him, because this ended up for the two of them." Augs suddenly thought about the contents of the letter.
"Compared to Jennifer's mental illness, Monica, who has a family genetic disorder, is more likely to get the disease."
Vera paused, her gaze lingering on the skeleton on the ground for a moment, "Besides, this skeleton is still wearing Monica's clothes. β
Vera's words hit the nail on the head.
Ma Hao forced himself to cheer up and said, "Yes, I don't think anyone wants to let their rival wear their own clothes. β
Vera looked at her, shrugged her shoulders and added, "No one has a woman with a normal aesthetic who would wear a lace tutu of this design. β
Eric tugged at his hair, and his reasoning was denied one after another, putting him on the verge of a rampage: "It's not it, it's not that. You think this is the hostess, but who is the one who was stabbed to death in the report? β
Augs was ignorant, and it made sense to listen to anyone, so he also asked: "Yes." If she's Monica, who is the hostess in the report? β
"It's Jennifer." Vera bluntly said, "I think the police probably got the victim wrong, which is why the wrong report came about." β
"You say yes? I also said that it was the hostess! Eric spoke disdainfully, fooled by Vera's misguess once, and he didn't want to believe it a second time.
Vera, an arrogant and rude woman, has a smart face, and in fact, her IQ is not much higher than his!
"Eric, you're not going to forget the dagger we used to unlock the door, are you?" Vera hurriedly threw out her argument, "The blood stains on it don't look like the corpse left it by itself." β
Ma understood the meaning of Vera's words.
A person who is poisoned by poison really does not need to stab him with a dagger again. Both horizontally and vertically were dead, and the dagger seemed redundant next to the corpse.
"Alright, don't sell it!" Eric said unhappily, "If you have something to say, if you have a fart, this is not a place to show off your cleverness." β
"Clever?" Vera raised her chin, "I thought I was simple enough, but I blame some people for not being smart enough, but they blame others for their problems." β
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Eric to refute, she continued: "We have reason to suspect that the murderer of Jennifer and Andriy is this genuine lady. Her husband is about to break up with her, Jennifer snatches her lover, Monica has enough motives to kill, and she finds the murder weapon by her side. β
"So this is a love murder......," murmured Augs, "and in that case, will the ghost of the house still be her?" What is her obsession? β
Yes, the mistress who killed her husband and mistress will still be a ghost wandering in the house?
If so, all her resentment should have been vented on Andri and Monica, what obsession did she still have to complete?
