Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

Chapter 356: Shouldn't, how is this possible?

So if Raymond doesn't talk nonsense himself, if his lawyers do a good job, maybe he can get acquitted directly.

Even if he accused Anthony for the reason, the Sefal Department in England might have reached a settlement agreement with his lawyers, looking at the circumstances where his crime was not serious.

Under the Anglo-American legal system, in order to target larger crimes, it is simply normal for the prosecutor to engage in private transactions with accomplices or people with lesser crimes.

Li Changheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he watched Reggie who was lying on the ground finally come over.

If this is elsewhere, even if he is buried, Li Changheng's eyes will not blink.

But if everyone died in full view, the matter was in trouble.

At least Felanche must face the ambiguity of manslaughter or protecting dignitaries and not guilty, waiting for Li Changheng to release him on bail, and then see how it works.

When Li Changheng took Felanqi into the billiard room, she saw Sheriff Tadel holding a cue.

He kept tapping on the surrounding walls, wooden frames and so on, listening to see if there was an abnormal sound.

Moreover, this guy is still smoking a pipe, his eyes are always on Anthony.

Every time the club hits, Anthony's face shows a slight expression unnaturally.

The flustered and nervous Anthony, who was stared at by Merlin before, not only began to sweat on his forehead, but his body was trembling a little with fright.

Anyone who sees it knows that there is a ghost in his heart.

Then I saw his gaze, occasionally aimed at the window of the billiard room.

Sheriff Teddle's eyes lit up, he walked quickly to the window, leaned over two meters away, and carefully looked at whether there were any footprints on the window sill.

But the footprints were not found, but a shallow fingerprint appeared on the marble outside the window.

When he and Li Changheng looked out through another window, they saw the garden of the manor.

And no balconies or prominent marble eaves were found for people to walk on.

FK.

After Li Changheng cursed in his heart, he knew that Anthony must have done something through the window, and it must be related to the death of Old Gosford.

Otherwise, no matter how low his mental quality is, he won't be so unbearable.

Wait, could it be a key or a murder weapon?

And since Anthony didn't leave the billiard room, why did that Teddy keep yelling at him?

Then it occurred to me that since there is a garden under the window, the possibility of saying the key is not high.

It is normal for the servants of the manor to lock the gate, but the internal gates are generally not locked.

In other words, there are some doors for the owner, and there are guests here tonight, they can't lock all the doors leading to the garden.

Then it's a murder weapon.

Unlike ordinary families, nobles are also human, and they are more afraid of death.

As far as Li Changheng knew, in Philip's palace, the kitchen knives used every day in the kitchen would be locked up after being counted by the chef.

The knives used by Philip and the staff to open envelopes were either round heads or mini-long swords with only one finger, and the blades were not sharp.

Even, Annie has always used a wooden letter opener.

The knife and fork for eating are also just opened, but the tip of the knife is also round.

This kind of knife is only suitable for cutting, and it is difficult for ordinary people to pierce the human body with a single knife.

In Old Gosford's study, the smell of blood was not strong, and there was no blood on his neck.

In other words, if you want to kill him, the murderer needs a sharp knife to pierce his heart so that he won't make much noise.

Even if there is, as long as the voice is not loud, it will be masked by Ivor's singing and piano.

Moreover, this is also in line with Anthony's character, otherwise a timid person like him would not necessarily have the courage to kill Old Gosford.

Li Changheng turned around and walked out of the billiards room, let people stare at Anthony and Raymond, and asked for some flashlights from the butler Kondra.

Let the butler lead the way, take Ferange, the sheriff and the only policeman, and walk to the garden.

When he came to the garden, shining a few flashlights together, Li Changheng, who had outstanding eyesight, quickly saw a small pit appearing on the gravel.

Turning around, he said to the butler, "Go and get a piece of paper."

After the paper was brought, Li Changheng folded several times, and then gently stretched the pointed paper into the small hole.

After confirming, the people present all looked up, and the butler Condela exclaimed, "This is the window of the billiard room."

Li Changheng got up and walked inside, and then took everyone to Old Gosford's study.

Moreover, since he knew that many people had already come in before, he didn't care about the footprints.

However, after a closer look at the study, he suddenly found that the place where Old Gosford was sitting was solid wood, and the front of the desk, in the middle of the study and the reception area, was carpeted.

Moreover, through the flashlight, you can easily see the dry mud footprints on the solid wood floor.

FK.

Li Changheng's first thought was that this must have been deliberately made by the murderer to confuse the police.

As long as there is no motive for the murder in the manor, or no one clearly identifies someone as the murderer.

The police are likely to use outsiders to enter the room to kill people to close the case.

Judging from the performance of Sheriff Teddle, we know that these people are actually not willing to really get involved in the affairs of the nobles.

After all, they are the police, and they will bring down a nobleman, or offend most noblemen, and it will not do them any good.

Only politicians who want to be famous, want to get the support of ordinary people who hate or even hate the aristocracy, will focus on and bite the aristocratic group.

But it would be more difficult to find the murderer through a mud footprint.

When Li Changheng returned to London yesterday, Annie was holding an umbrella to pick her up.

September is the most rainy months of the year in England.

When he went out hunting today, he was wearing rainproof riding boots. The others were either rubber shoes or special shoes for outdoor activities.

The activities of nearly a hundred people, as well as the identification technology of this era, must have so many footprints that it takes ten days to count.

So, he didn't rush to look along the footprints.

Instead, he helped the old Gosford who had been lying on the desk up~lightnovelpub.net~ to see what he was killed by.

But after leaning the old man on the wooden chair, Li Changheng suddenly cursed hell.

Seeing a dagger, all the blades sank into the old man's chest, only the hilt was left, but there were very few blood stains that could seep into Baise's shirt.

An incredible idea floated in his mind.

But it made him think it shouldn't.

Then he thought that the person who killed Old Gosford with a dagger must be a man, and it was definitely not something a thin person like Anthony could stab out.

Then, he looked at Sheriff Tedel and found that he was about the same height and size as the old Gosford.

Looking around, he immediately asked the sheriff to sit on the same wooden chair in the reception area.

Tadel quickly understood what Li Changheng wanted to do.

He looked at the desk very cooperatively, confirmed the height, raised his hands falsely, and made the illusion of being placed on the desk.
