Chapter 183: Ghosts

Nearly three hours had passed since Eugene's study and bedroom had been searched, and although there were still many details that had not been thoroughly searched, there was no need. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ann initially thought that he could find clues about the motive for the killing, but now it seems that all he knows is that Eugene's pharmaceutical work is somewhat unusual, plus that he keeps a lot of drugs in his home.

Finding the murderer according to the motive of the murder is a relatively common method of solving the crime, and there was a saying that humans are the only creatures that will kill each other except for the three factors of territory, mate and food.

That's true, but there has to be a reason for humans to kill each other.

Whether it is manslaughter caused by impulse or premeditated murder, there is essentially a motive, and even a murderer who takes pleasure in killing can only do it because he can get pleasure and satisfaction from killing.

By asking the old butler, the players know that Eugene's career is not small, and most of the big people have open and secret enemies, and there are countless guys who think of him disappearing, and there is no way to investigate them one by one.

This is also one of the reasons why An Yizhi insisted that the prisoner was among these people, the system would not arrange an unsolvable task for the player, if someone else from the outside world bought the murder, then the mastermind behind the scenes was not at all a copy that could be checked.

If the prisoner and the person who cut the drawbridge were the same person, then there were at least four suspects, the four guests.

In terms of motives, Munston is the most likely murderer, after all, there is a commercial rivalry between the two. But if Mrs. Green hadn't lied, Munston who was being held by his wife would have had no chance to go around Eugene and stab him in the back. Besides, with his size, it was easy to be noticed, even in the dark.

To put it another way, who of these four has the ability to quietly go around Eugene's back and knife and then return?

The answer is Charles.

He has been a soldier and a combat hero, so his skills are naturally very different from other ordinary people. But his location is the farthest away from Eugene, and even if he starts immediately after the power outage, there is not enough time. The call came less than two or three seconds after the scream sounded, and it was necessary to cross a distance of more than ten meters in such a short time and ensure that no one noticed it quietly......

To put it mildly, Charles' crippled left leg couldn't do it at all.

In this way, the answer seems obvious.

Hamill.

He had the time to go around Eugene's back and return to his seat in three seconds, and he was a former surgeon who was so familiar with the anatomy of the human body that he could find the vest with a little flash. The image of cowardice is most likely a hoax disguised to paralyze others.

However, he doesn't seem to have any motive to kill, as Eugene gave him a steady job after he lost his status as a surgeon.

Of course, maybe his injury to his hands had something to do with it, or maybe he was paranoid about passing on his injuries to Eugene.

All this is just speculation, and the possibility of an accomplice committing the crime, such as Hamil's murder and one of the other helpers cutting down the drawbridge, cannot be ruled out. It is also possible that Mr. and Mrs. Green have problems and have confessed to each other in advance.

Just now Mengston shouted to go back to the room to rest, according to the normal way of thinking, without knowing who the murderer is, it is the best and most rational choice for everyone to stay together and wait for someone to rescue them tomorrow, An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu, the two 'future people' from the era of the information explosion, could not have thought of this.

But Ann didn't stop it.

The reason has been said once before, and there is another layer of truth.

Why did the prisoners cut down the drawbridge?

Wouldn't it be better to pretend to be innocent and blend in with the crowd after killing someone, or encourage everyone to leave here and escape as soon as possible?

This illustrates a fact.

He, or they will continue to kill.

So An Yizhi is holding a very bad fishing idea, anyway, the main quest does not require the number of survivors. He was waiting, waiting for the prisoner to strike again, and even if no useful clues could be found at that time, at least one suspect could be eliminated.

Judging from this kind of thinking, NPCs really don't have any human rights in An's finger......

But three hours later, it was still very calm.

After searching Eugene's room, An Yizhi planned to return to the old mansion to continue the search, but the housekeeper said that Eugene had strictly instructed him not to enter the old mansion after 12 midnight, even if the owner was already dead, he still planned to continue to carry out Eugene's instructions.

After trying to convince a few times to no avail, An Yizhi temporarily gave up his plan to return to the old mansion, anyway, there was nothing to explore over there, he had seen all the rooms, all of them were guest rooms and empty rooms without furnishings.

The three of them carried umbrellas to the place where the old butler had changed the fuse, which was a small building behind the old mansion. Outside the house there was a huge water tower with cylinders, which the old housekeeper said was a tank for storing diesel fuel, which would be replenished at regular intervals.

When the door is opened, the machinery in the building is still roaring, and three diesel generators and a huge battery form a unit, enough for the daily use of this Yamanaka Western-style museum.

The old housekeeper first turned off the generator, saying that it would be turned off every night before resting and would be turned back on the next day when needed. Then lead the two to the position to prevent the fuse.

"The spare fuse is in the box over there, and the locked box over there is the place where the fuse is in, do you need me to open it?"

An Yizhi nodded, and the old butler took out a large bunch of keys and picked the smallest one to open the safe.

"Doesn't seem to be a problem"

"Hmm"

An glanced at it and replied to Tu Hongyu casually, but he had a trace of suspicion about the old housekeeper in his heart.

The inside of the fuse was so clean......

The fuse works by blowing itself when the circuit is overloaded to protect the circuit from fire. However, the inside of the fuse box is too clean, and there are no traces left by the fuse blowing. Maybe it was just a coincidence that there was no trace left, but this situation made the old butler's suspicion increase rapidly.

Although the old housekeeper has no time or opportunity to commit crimes, he has every chance to create a power outage and provide convenient conditions for committing crimes!

The case is more complicated if the condition of multiple accessory offenders is considered.

Who else is a collaborator besides the old butler? Who is innocent of the 8 people?

Then they looked at the box where the fuse was stored, and in addition to the spare fuse, there were some maintenance tools such as wrench and taper, and found nothing else suspicious.

There were already doubts in his heart, An Yizhi was silent, he didn't question directly, and he didn't tell Tu Hongyu. The set of keys in the old butler's hand was very important, as long as they wanted to investigate other places, the assistance from the old butler was indispensable, and they could not be caught by surprise for the time being.

"Mr. An, is there anything else you would like to see?"

"Hmm...... There was one, the room next to the maid's room."

It was the place where Tu Hongyu had explored after entering the foreign pavilion but did not dare to go in and search directly.

"Wine cellar?"

The old butler was a little puzzled, and he said:

"It's all the owner's wine, and it's dusty everywhere, does it have anything to do with the incident?"

"It's just curiosity, curiosity, maybe it's related."

Hearing An Yizhi's perfunctory answer, the old butler didn't care about his tone, and after a little hesitation, he happily led the way.

- Ahh

As the three of them passed under the overpass connecting the old house to the new house, a scream came from the other side of the old house.

As soon as the two players heard this, they knew that something was happening, and they ran in the direction of the sound source, and the old butler was too strong to hang far behind.

At this moment, a figure ran towards them in a panic, letting out an intermittent and breathless scream as it ran, looking as if it had been greatly frightened.

It was Tu Hongyu's turn to appear, and it was more difficult for An Yi's little arms and legs to subdue a frightened adult, so he changed to Tu Hongyu's 300 kg + figure, and just one 'pair of touches' pressed the person firmly to the ground.

"What, how is this thing sticky?"

Tu Hongyu complained that neither of them had a light source, and it was a dark night with heavy rain, and they couldn't see what it was.

"Mr. An, Mr. Tu, wait, wait for my ......"

The old housekeeper also rushed over at this time, and he used a flashlight to shine a light on the person who was held down by Tu Hongyu, and said in surprise:

"Mark? What happened to you? ”

He was one of the servants, the manservant.

With the help of a flashlight, both players also see what Mark looks like.

He was not wearing a raincoat, he was drenched all over his body, his pupils were exaggeratedly dilated, his face was irrepressibly frightened, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

And what makes Tu Hongyu feel slimy is actually ......

Blood!

Quickly pulled him up and checked him up and down, and he didn't seem to be injured, but where did the blood on his body come from?

"Mark? Mark! ”

The old housekeeper tried to call him a few times, but there was no response, and Tu Hongyu didn't dare to let go, because as soon as he let go, the manservant had the urge to run away.

Gentle methods don't work, so try a rough one.

An didn't say a word, and went up to snap three big mouths, the corners of the manservant's mouth were bloody, and his empty eyes finally regained some sanity.

"Calm down, you're safe now, tell me what's going on!"

The manservant woke up like a dream, he first looked at the two players, and then turned his eyes to the old butler, and he actually cried.

"Don't worry about crying yet, what's going on?"

"Mary, Mary is dead!"

"Mary is dead? You make it clear to me! ”

The old butler grabbed the manservant's shoulders and shook him vigorously.

"Who is Mary?"

"The maid, I remember Eugene once mentioned"

The two players whispered, and on the other side, the manservant said with tears in his eyes:

"We see it! See! ”

"What do you see? Don't talk to you, don't leave half a cut of the line."

"Ghosts! There are ghosts in the old mansion! A ghost dressed in white! ”

The old butler's color changed, and the expressions of the two players were not very good-looking.

Detective cases are mixed with supernatural things? What the hell is the system doing again!
