Chapter 188 The Fallen Clothes 4

The second day of the game, eight o'clock in the morning.

There was a burst of noise outside, followed by a violent knock on the door. Su Tao put away her things before opening the door. At this moment, someone shouted: "Miss Russell!"

Su Tao came out calmly, and looked at a group of them standing in front of a door, looking very anxious, but she was just the opposite of those people, she leaned against the door frame calmly, "Shouting What's the matter with me?"

Cape Love's face was full of anger: "Didn't you say you wouldn't do it?"

"I didn't do anything."

"Miss Fan specifically asked me yesterday to call her around eight o'clock," Cape Love said, "We knocked on the door here for a long time, but there was no movement inside, and you still said you didn't do anything." ?!"

Su Tao didn't bother to argue with them, "I'll call the housekeeper and ask him to open the door."

Before they could speak, Su Tao went down the stairs.

The butler got up early, and he was preparing a rich breakfast with the chef in the kitchen.

Seeing Su Tao, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Dear Miss Russell, what can I do for you?"

"Can you open Miss Fan's room? I suspect something happened to her inside."

The butler's expression changed instantly, "Really? I have the key. Let's go see her now."

As soon as the door opened, a suffocating smell of blood came.

A headless corpse was lying on the door of the bedroom, the blood on the carpet had turned dark, her throat was cut flat, it should have been cut directly by a very sharp object, there were no signs of struggle on her body, and she He was still wearing pajamas.

"Russell, you are so cruel! What else do you have to say!" Capel Love made a sharp voice.

"Since the early morning, you have been saying that I am a murderer, Miss Love, and now I suspect you are a murderer even more."

The expression on Cape Love's face changed instantly, "But I have no reason to kill her."

"There's no reason for me to kill her." Su Tao raised an eyebrow and sneered, "How on earth did you get through customs and frame someone like this without providing evidence?"

Capel Love became more and more embarrassed. Did she directly say that she didn't deserve to come here?

"I, I'm not..."

Su Tao didn't want to waste time on such useless things. She turned her head slightly and said to the respectful butler standing aside: "Butler, can we go to see Mr. James' body in advance now? We are all here."

The steward did not directly agree, he set his sights on someone who had nothing to do with him, "Dear Duke Cavendish, what do you think?"

Gu Yanqing nodded, "Just listen to Ms. Russell's arrangement."

"Housekeeper, why did you ask him?" Mrs. Capet puzzled: "Your attitude towards him is really different from that towards us."

The butler said respectfully: "Mrs. Capet, the Duke of Cavendish is a good friend of my master, Mr. James. Naturally, I have to trust him more."

Cape Love asked: "Then don't you doubt that Cavendish is the murderer of your master? After all, there are many people who are duplicity."

"You can rest assured about this. Before and after Mr. James was killed, Duke Cavendish stayed in the hall. Many servants saw it, so there is no need to doubt him."

Gu Yanqing saw Su Tao's impatience, and he said, "Okay, let's go and see the corpse, so that my friend's suspicion can be cleared as soon as possible."

"Yes, Duke."

When the housekeeper faced the door of the study, his face was particularly dignified. After he opened the door, he did not look into the room immediately, but made a gesture of invitation, "Mister and Madam, please."

This study room is very elegantly furnished, the bookshelves are full of books in various languages, the corpse is lying on its back on the dark red carpet, it is also a headless corpse, he is wearing very ordinary clothes, but beside him A very gorgeous dress was casually discarded. Under the light, the dark golden gold thread embroidered into various patterns was radiant.

But unfortunately, this dress was stained with a large pool of blood, ruining its beauty.

The housekeeper groaned from the side: "It's such a pity, Mr. has spent a lot of effort to customize this gorgeous dress, but now it has been destroyed."

Cape Love said: "If you wash it again, can't you still wear it?"

"Miss doesn't know, this fabric is made of very precious material, it won't touch water."

Su Tao looked around in the study. There was a cup of tea on the desk, which was already empty. A design book was opened to a certain page, lying quietly on the table, without any other traces on the carpet.

"The point is, did Mr. James have no head when he was found?"

Butler: "Yes, Miss Russell. When I called my husband downstairs for dinner yesterday, I found his body. As far as I know, there were three other people who came in before me."

The memory of yesterday has already been passed on to the corresponding player.

De Gesse spoke first: "I was the first to go in, and I brought this tea. I came to see James because of business matters." He set his eyes on the teacup on the table, and said : "I want Mr. James to be my partner, and Mr. James has agreed to cooperate with me, so it is impossible for me to kill him."

Immediately after the second person spoke, Mrs. Capet said, "I saw that Mr. De Gesse went in after he came out. My husband is a good friend of James. I will say hello on his behalf."

"But you chatted inside for nearly an hour," the Duke of Argyll retorted: "I was sitting in the hall, and I checked the time when you went in. An hour later, you still haven't come out."

"However, Mr. James asked you to come in before I came out." Mrs. Capet meekly bent her lips, "When you went in, I had already left, but he was still fine at that time."

Argyle's face darkened. He was indeed the last of the three to go in, and the suspicion was the biggest. "He let me out within 10 minutes."

"So James was fine when you came out?" Cape Love couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that the housekeeper killed him?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Miss, you can't say this nonsense. I have served Mr. James for nearly ten years. He treats me very well. I will not hurt him in the slightest."

"Then Miss Russell," Capella Love still remembers what happened to Su Tao, "what are you doing?"

Su Tao said expressionlessly, "I'm resting in my room."

"What about your witnesses and evidence?"

Su Tao: "..." Did she bite her and won't let go?
