Arthur's faint voice stunned everyone who was about to clash.

Ramit and Geert were stunned.

Vontel subconsciously looked at his father's corpse.

'Detective' Albers had already raised his hand to touch the hair of the old lord's corpse - unlike the middle-aged people who lost their hair and lost their heads, the old lord still had thick hair that many young people envied even though he was old.

Because of this, such hair will obscure many things.

Like what......

"Nails!"

When Albers brushed the old lord's hair, Vontel saw the nail on his father's head at a glance, and Lamit and Geert were also surprised.

Arthur stared at the two.

Under [Eyes Like a Torch] and [Observing Words and Looks], there was no problem with the expressions of the two, and they obviously didn't know how the old lord died.

But Arthur was not disappointed.

Because, the two don't know how the old lord died, but it doesn't mean that the two are not murderers.

Almost subconsciously, Arthur thought of the figure that had just flashed by the window.

The other party's killing intent, Arthur is clear.

As for who the other party is?

Arthur also guessed a rough idea.

At this time, Vontel had already rushed towards Lamit and Geert with red eyes, but was stopped by the butler Vic.

Vic, who participated in the Seven Years' War when he was young, still has quite good skills, and after hugging Fontel, he blocked Lamit and Geert with his body.

"Wait!"

"Master Vontel and so on!"

"Lamit, Master Geert, etc.!"

The butler tried his best to persuade the three of them.

Seeing this scene, Arthur couldn't help but squint his eyes and have more thoughts in his heart, and when he found out that Lamette and Geert were about to gradually gain the upper hand and his employer was going to suffer, he gestured to Maltz without a trace.

"Stop! Stop it! ”

"I'm Sheriff Shire, Maltz!"

Maltz, who had remained invisible, stepped forward.

The sheriff held his badge high in front of Lamit and Geert, and said in an unquestioning tone: "Please return to your room now, both of you cannot leave without my permission—in the name of Justice Nanlos!" ”

Who is the Justice of South Los?

Count of South Los!

The Doyle family is known to be the most loyal courtiers of the Count of South Los.

Ramit and Geert were pulled away smoothly.

The two glared at Fontel, then followed Maltz upward.

Vic, the butler, walked behind with Fontel.

In the basement, there were immediately only 'mediums' and 'detectives' left

The 'detective' walked in front of the 'medium'.

"How do you know?"

"How can you be so sure?"

"Have you used it?"

Albers was still so unkind.

But Arthur was still kind, he looked at the detective in front of him, and smiled: "I swear by the 'House of Credos' that I have never used such a despicable method to mutilate anyone—this nail was only told to me by the old lord." ”

Albers' brow furrowed immediately.

He didn't believe what Arthur said, and the scene in front of him could only be ......

He was also examining the corpse when I was examining it, and he was more meticulous than I was! ’

Albers, who came to this conclusion, was not frustrated.

Instead, the detective strode towards the ground.

One step slower, not terrible.

As long as you get the first step to find the truth, it is him who wins.

The detective, who is full of desire to win, strides forward.

And the 'spirit medium', who stood on the shoulders of so many giants and had insight into most of the truth, did not leave immediately, he turned his head to look at the coffin that had fallen into darkness, and sighed softly.

It's helpless.

"Lord Credos, do you know who the murderer is?"

As soon as Arthur walked up, Fontel rushed up and asked.

At this moment, in the hall, except for Vontel, there were only the butler and some servants left, and seeing the butler who followed Vontel closely, Arthur became more and more sure of that guess in his heart.

Therefore, instead of answering immediately, he looked at Vic, the butler, and asked.

"How often is the old lord bedridden?"

"In the afternoon of a month ago, when it rained suddenly, the old lord fell down the stairs on the third floor when he came back from hunting."

The butler didn't think about it, and immediately gave the exact answer.

"You were the one who gave Vontel a birthday present before, right?"

Arthur then continued to ask.

Vontel also looked at the old butler with a surprised face - he had received a gift, but it was handed over by someone else, and when he asked the person who had handed it over, the other party only told him that the noble man was making a carriage and could not see his true face, so Vontel did not know who sent it.

And, in the bottom of his heart, Vontel regarded him as a father who couldn't show his face.

Unexpectedly, it was the old housekeeper.

Vontel looked at the old butler.

The old butler did not answer immediately, but first motioned for the servants to leave, and then nodded when all the servants had gone.

"It's me."

"You should ...... this Don't know, right? ”

Arthur deliberately lengthened the corner of his pajamas with the word 'help' written on them from his pocket, and immediately changed his tone when he saw the old butler's eyes widen in surprise.

However, when he found that the old butler was tightly pursed at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of remorse and self-blame, he immediately guessed something, and then added.

"But you should have guessed something, but you're not sure—or rather, you don't believe it will come to this, so when you come back and find the old lord dead, you start to blame yourself for being negligent."

Arthur didn't say anything specifically, but said vaguely in a tone of extreme certainty.

But the old butler, who was already flustered, didn't notice this, he just nodded mechanically.

"Yes, yes, when I came back, I found that the master was dead.

I shouldn't have left my lord's side!

No, even so, I lost the trust of the master! ”

The old butler nodded with difficulty, but the words made Vontel confused.

What happened to make his father stop trusting his butler?

Vontel couldn't have imagined.

Arthur guessed.

"Butler Vic, who lives in the room on the right on the second floor?"

He asked.

"It's Lady Marianne, she lives there......"

The old butler replied instinctively, but after the words came out, his whole body trembled, and he looked at Arthur incredulously, and asked, "You, you know it all?" ”

"No, I was just told by the old lord."

Arthur shook his head, looked at the old butler's current expression, and said with great certainty.

He's a 'medium', not a detective, and no evidence.

Therefore, he would never say that he felt the killing intent of this Marian lady when he entered the manor.

Not to mention, you see a bigger flaw in you, the butler of the Doyle family—when you just pulled the fight, Vic, who is the butler, should have been more towards Lamette and Geert, the two sisters-in-law who grew up in the oak manor.

But the result?

The butler Vic was partial to the illegitimate son Vontel.

What would have caused this faithful butler to do this?

It must be that the butler does not approve of Lamit and Geert.

And what did the two of them do to make this housekeeper disapprove?

There are two traditions of the nobility that cannot be ignored: honor and blood.

In terms of bloodline, it is very likely that one of the two has a problem, but it is really unlikely that the two of them will have a problem together.

Therefore, only 'honor' remains!

The two of them did something that damaged the honor of the Doyle family!

Plus the killing intent of that old lord's current lady!

So......

What did Lamit and Geert do?
