The guest's entourage was directly rejected by Li Changheng.

If these people enter the study, they will definitely be driven away by Gosford, who is angry, even playing with antique guns, and putting gunpowder and projectiles on the desk.

Even if it's dangerous, picking up the antique gun in your hand and scaring unsuspecting strangers will definitely delay a little time.

Then yelling, or smashing things can arouse servants, even people like Li Changheng.

After all, when Louisa screamed, her voice overwhelmed Ivor's piano and singing.

This means that the sound insulation of the manor is not good.

Immediately, Li Changheng shook his head again.

It happened that the son killed the father.

Nothing is absolute, it can only be said that the probability of a guest's entourage will be lower.

The rest are the servants and male servants in the manor.

Condela the butler and the other person who had been staying in the meeting room can be directly eliminated.

Excluding those servants who are not qualified to come, the scope is actually not very large.

But do you want to expose this?

You don't need to think about it, you can know why the poisoner has to do it.

So under what circumstances, let a servant who has been staying at Gosford Manor start tonight?

Perhaps the answer lies with the Countess of Trenson.

Since she can know the illegitimate children of the old Gosford, does she also know who the mothers of these children are?

Who would be willing to be threatened by the old Gosford and take his own flesh and blood away?

Since Defoe's younger brother is married and has children, it means that this happened about 30 years ago.

During the Second World War around 1940, as long as they could provide accommodation and work, the number of women who could be bought by Old Gosford would never be small.

And these maids who can't eat enough after leaving the manor and don't wear warm clothes, if they want to live, they can only accept the threat of being immortal and reluctantly let them take away their children.

Therefore, if Defoe's mother has been living in the manor and accidentally discovers that he is her own son because of photos, necklaces, or other tokens.

While ecstatic, calm down a little bit and wonder why he came to the manor?

Accident?

Perhaps the possibility of retaliation is higher.

Then things were simple. It shouldn't be a surprise that a mother secretly killed a master who had hated for decades to protect her children.

Now that one of the mother and son is destined to be arrested, the other is still to let her take the child with the hope that she will always be released from prison, so she can live quietly.

Moreover, the old Gosford was dead, and the sins of his life also disappeared with his death.

I really don't need to expose all his scandals.

But Li Changheng immediately thought that maybe Defoe's mother had already tried to save Defoe once, and she shouldn't mind coming forward to confess guilt again.

Thinking about it this way, the scope of who is the poisoner is very small.

Throughout the manor, the housekeeper Wilson and the kitchen supervisor Mrs. Clotte were the right ages.

And the only person who can really go up is the housekeeper Wilson.

But exactly how she poisoned her is still unclear.

Also, Li Changheng just couldn't understand why that Teddy kept barking at Anthony, who was not a murderer.

"SIR, something went wrong."

Li Changheng, who was standing by the window of the billiard room, turned around and saw Condra the butler said anxiously, "Sergeant Tedell asked me to tell you.

Although Defoe was arrested and admitted that he stabbed the earl in the chest, he kept shouting in the basement restaurant that he did not kill.

Say yes, say yes... "

Kondela nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, his expression was terrified and he didn't dare to continue.

Li Changheng sighed and shook his head. England only officially passed the amendment to abolish the death penalty in July this year.

In other words, this news is likely to be unknown to 80% of English people.

In this case, Defoe, who doesn't want to die, will of course tell what he knows.

After all, he was not an idiot. When he stabbed him down, even if Old Gosford fell asleep, he couldn't be unresponsive.

Move a few times, struggle a few times, or at least open your eyes.

But he was stabbed in the chest but didn't move. The fool knew there was a problem.

After a little inspection, you can find that Old Gosford has actually been cold, even stiffly dead for a while.

"Okay, I know."

Standing by the window, Li Changheng hesitated again and again whether to reveal all the mysteries.

Or maybe he was waiting for the housekeeper Wilson to confess.

In this case, even if Defoe doesn't have to die, he will remember and be full of love for his mother in his prison and the rest of his life.

Instead of blaming the resentment and hatred of his mother who threw him to the orphanage from birth, he continued to live.

"Henry?"

Andrew and others standing at the entrance of the billiard room saw Li Changheng standing still and not talking.

Can't help but ask in doubt, "Since the murderer has admitted to killing, why does he say that he didn't kill?"

Li Changheng said without looking back, "Acknowledging Earl Thorn with a stab does not mean that he killed Earl Gosford."

"This, what does this mean?"

Not only Andrew felt puzzled, but everyone else also had an expression of incomprehension.

Li Changheng didn't speak at all, and took out the cigar bag Anne prepared for him from his suit pocket.

Draw out a cigar and put it in your mouth regardless of whether you want to cut off the cigar cap or not.

But after looking around, I suddenly remembered that I didn't bring a lighter at all.

Butler Condra hurriedly took out the matchbox and lit the match with a ‘stab’.

After lighting the cigar, Li Changheng opened the window and looked at the garden surrounded by the circular manor building. He spit out the smoke with a sip of the cigar silently.

Ten minutes later, Li Changheng's brows became deeper and deeper.

Why hasn't the news that the housekeeper Wilson surrendered yet?

Wait, Li Changheng suddenly remembered.

Since everyone could think that Old Gosford died first, Defoe was not charged with murder.

The housekeeper Wilson not only can think of it as well, but also understands that surrendering herself is even more unfavorable to Defoe~lightnovelpub.net~ No matter which country or civilization it is, son killing his father will never be tolerated by anyone.

Under the legal system of England, the jury, which is easily influenced by public opinion, self-concepts, and moral values, is likely to vote by unanimous consent to sentence Defoe to death.

If this happens, it is not impossible for the House of Lords in England to empathize with the death of Earl Gosford and forcibly revise the amendment to abolish the death penalty just passed in July.

After all, you don't need to guess to know that this case of the son killing the father will be disgusted by many ordinary people, and then support the sentence of death.

With public opinion and citizen support, and this matter has touched the most fundamental interests of the nobles, Downing Street and other regular guests are indeed likely to be ignored.

If someone proposes that the death penalty should only be applied to such cases as Defoe, Defoe is really likely to be sentenced to death.

As for the question that Gosford was dead when he stabbed that knife.

This is not only difficult to identify, but no one can prove it.
