Chapter 199 Suspects
When Ji Qiming and others hurried to the second floor of the castle under the guard of Munster, Wu Ming and Michael were already standing in front of the broken window to check the scene. Belatedly, appear in front of everyone.
With the joint efforts of several men, they pulled Fenrir, who was hanging upside down outside the window, into the house.
Fenrir had died long ago, his eyes were round and his face was ferocious, and there were obvious bruises around his neck, obviously he was strangled to death.The body was drenched in the pouring rain, and it was so cold that it was impossible to tell how long he had been dead.
And on his chest,
Pinned a tarot card.
──The Hanged Man.
This is already the second Tarot card that appeared next to the corpse. If the previous Grim Reaper could be regarded as a leftover unintentionally, this time the Hanged Man is like a murder notice. Sow the seeds of fear into everyone's heart.
Thirteen people,
In the isolated castle, the treacherous Tarot announced,
Then one after another died, this is simply the favorite plot of mystery novelists.
"What blood." Ji Qiming muttered to himself, but he couldn't deny it.
It was such a bloody and weird plot that ignited his enthusiasm for investigating the case.
"The body is cold,
It is impossible to say exactly when he died. "Michael half squatted and half knelt next to Fenrir's body, and probed Fenrir's carotid artery with his fingers for a while, reconfirming the death of the prince's nephew.
"We all saw the scene where he smashed through the window and was hung upside down outside the balcony," Medea said.
"So we who were in the greenhouse at that time would not be suspected? After Earl Fenrir left the restaurant, none of the eight of us had time to be alone, so naturally there was no possibility of killing him, right?" Leah looked around, hesitating. road.
"In fact,
Housekeeping is possible. "Munster, who has been uncooperative and silent since they went to the greenhouse, suddenly said at this moment, "Whether it was to tidy up the greenhouse at the beginning, or just happened to leave the room to make tea before Earl Fenrir fell through the window, he They all left us briefly. "
"However, it didn't take long for the butler to leave and we saw Earl Fenrir fall from the window. Is it possible that he ran from the greenhouse to the second floor to kill Earl Fenrir and throw his body?" Medea wondered.
Munster shrugged noncommittally: "I just pointed out that there is such a possibility."
Ji Qiming rubbed his chin. As Mengster said, the suspicion of the butler cannot be completely ruled out, but the seven people including himself did not have time to commit the crime. It seems that the remaining three left everyone to search the castle. The individual looks extremely suspicious.
Of course he knew that Wu Ming would not be the murderer,
Then the only suspects left are Delphi, Michael and the butler.
While everyone was arguing about the suspicion of the housekeeper,
Ji Qiming sneaked up to Wu Ming's side, and lightly bumped Wu Ming's waist with his elbow, who was meditating: "What happened after you left the restaurant?"
Wu Ming glanced at everyone subconsciously, and carefully pulled Ji Qiming to a corner not far away, avoiding everyone's sight, then lowered his voice and said: "After leaving the restaurant, the three of us made an appointment to split up and search The whole castle."
"Um...and then?"
"But because of last night,
I was more curious about Michael's actions, so I chose to follow him secretly. "Wu Ming whispered, "I saw him enter a room on the second floor, and searched out a book with a black cover. "
"Whose room is that?" Ji Qiming asked.
"I don't know." Wu Ming shook his head,
"But I've made a note of the location of that room, and I'll find out later when I inquire about it."
"What about the book?" Ji Qiming asked again.
Wu Ming took out a book with a black cover from his pocket and handed it to Ji Qiming, "Michael hid it in the lounge on the first floor, but I took the book away as soon as he left. I'm afraid it's very important." Clue. After I got the book, I heard the sound of glass breaking on the second floor, and when I came up, Michael was already standing by the window, looking coldly at Fenrir's body outside the window."
"You haven't seen Delphi since you parted?"
"No." Wu Ming shook his head.
"Thus,
Michael is the most suspected person. "Ji Qiming said while flipping through the book in his hand, "Let me see what this is... "The Devil's Call"?" "
"Wait!" Wu Ming seemed to have thought of something suddenly, grabbed the book in Ji Qiming's hand and flipped through it, "Look here, isn't this the spell used in the seance?"
"Fenrir did say that he got the books that can guide us in the séance... Could it be that Michael went to Fenrir's room??" Ji Qiming widened his eyes.
"If that's not Fenrir's room..." Wu Ming thought of another possibility, "It's the murderer's room."
"The murderer killed Fenrir in order to get this book, but Michael found out that he stole the book—no, the timing of the crime seems a bit subtle..." Ji Qiming thought hard, "I think the most likely, I'm afraid it was Michael who stole the book from Fenrir, but was caught by Fenrir, and he became so angry that he wanted to kill someone to silence him."
"All in all, there must be important clues about Michael. He seems to know a lot of things that we don't know." Wu Ming concluded, "The most urgent thing is that we have to figure out two things: First, who did Michael come from? The book was taken from the room; second, what did he know that we didn't know. But when we investigate, we can't let him find out that we doubt him, and of course we can't let him know that the book is in our hands .”
"If Michael is really one of the perpetrators,
And who is the guardian? "
"I predict,
The guardian may be someone in the greenhouse. "Wu Ming guessed, "We have to stop the murderer before he commits another attack.The longer it drags on, the more the Guardian's life is in danger.We can't afford to lose this game. "
