Chapter 189

The zombie fled quickly, but the aftermath of the incident was far from over.

The old house and the new house are only more than ten meters apart. They are connected by a corridor similar to an overpass. They witnessed the zombies and opened fire not far below. The noise of pistols easily passed through the rain curtain and alerted several guests in the new house.

Charles, with a revolver in his hand, ran over with Hamill and Mrs. Green. In a hurry, they didn't even bring their raincoats.

An pointed to them and looked in their direction. With a deep thought, the four people soon became drowned in soup. When they got close, they stood still. Hammill asked:

"What's going on? Who is it? Why did you shoot?"

"Yes, yes, we met the ghost"

The old housekeeper was the first to wake up from the panic. He said something.

"Ghost?"

The faces of the four people are incredible. Now it's the 20th century. How can ghosts really exist?

"It's true! He was just there," the old housekeeper pointed to the broken window. "He's not afraid of bullets. Mr. an and Mr. Tu fired several shots. It's useless. Poor Mary has been killed by the ghost. In the storeroom under the kitchen, he cut off his master's head and soaked it in a water tank. God"

The old house in the mountain, where there is no village in front and no shop behind, when you hear the word ghost, you can't help but start some less beautiful fantasies.

The remaining three swallowed their saliva. Even if their three outlooks could not accept the fact that there were ghosts in the world, they had to feel afraid, because the words of the old housekeeper were too realistic.

"Is the legend true?"

"Do you know the legend?"

Ann asked Charles curiously.

"Well... Ah, I do know some. Before I came here, my friend joked and told me not to be caught by the ghost, or you will become a ghost. I always thought it was just a joke..."

"We, can we leave here first..."

Hammill looked very frightened. He stood at the far edge of the crowd, as if he were on guard.

The old house in the middle of the night is really not very comfortable. When you think of something incomprehensible hidden in the dark, several NPCs present can't help shivering.

"By the way," Ann pointed and looked around. "Where's Mr. munston?"

"Munston went to the bathroom before he heard the gun..."

Mrs. Green answered. The more she said, the more she felt something wrong. When she saw Ann's serious face, she suddenly understood. She ran frantically towards the new house. The other people were vaguely aware of something and hurried to follow Mrs. Green behind her.

Hearing such a dense gunshot, most people will come out to see what's going on, but there's still no one in mengston for so long. I'm afraid it's already

"Munston! Munston, are you there? I'm Fanny"

Mrs. Green knocked hard on the toilet door, but there was no reaction behind the door.

"Mrs. Green, please get out of the way"

An Yi pointed forward and screwed the door lock. He found that it was locked inside.

"It's locked inside. Housekeeper, do you have a key?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "the toilet is never locked. The key given to me by the master is not in the toilet."

"Let's knock the door open."

Charles suggested that, indeed, there is no better way at present.

Tu Hongyu and Charles hit the door with their shoulders. They hit it several times in a row, and the door was finally opened.

Then they saw munston sitting on the toilet with his hands and feet trapped by tape and a lot of blood flowing from his neck.

"Munston!"

Mrs. Green, perhaps from now on, will call her real name Fanny. She screamed and wanted to rush over, but she was held by an's finger:

"Don't go over there. You'll destroy the scene, Mr. Hamill."

"Oh, okay"

Hammill hesitated for a moment and reacted that he wanted to help test.

An Yizhi also followed. He pulled up munston's wrist and felt as if there were still some slight pulsations, but soon the slight pulsations disappeared.

"The fatal wound was a wound in the neck. It cut the trachea and Mr. munston died of suffocation."

"Can you calculate the time of death?"

"Er..."

Hammill hesitated as if he was a little uncertain:

"Mr. munston died no more than a minute. He seemed to have a heartbeat when I examined him just now."

In other words, he died under the eyes of everyone.

"Murder in the secret room. Did you find anything?"

Tu Hongyu whispered and asked.

"I'm not sure, but why should it be arranged as a secret room to kill?"

"Yeah, it doesn't seem necessary."

Munston's hands and feet have been trapped, which shows that he has been subdued by the murderer. The murderer doesn't need to kill him at all.

Generally speaking, there are three main purposes of killing in a secret room.

The first is to disguise as suicide or accident.

Second, it is to change the time of death of the victim in order to create an alibi to escape guilt.

Third, the suspect array was deployed to interfere with the search.

But none of the above three points seems to meet.

His hands and feet were bound with tape, which was obviously not suicide. It was even more unnecessary to make an alibi. Just now, except that the old housekeeper had been following an Yizhi and Tu Hongyu, everyone else had time to commit a crime. Considering the mental problems of the male servant, he might be the lowest.

It is impossible to interfere with the search, because people with a clear eye can see what techniques the murderer used.

The murder weapon has been found. It's a very thin piano wire.

The killer made a simple pulley mechanism. Once the door was opened, it would tighten the piano cable and cut munston's neck. Yes, until just now munston was alive.

The window of the toilet is open. Although the position is a little high and small, it is enough for an adult to climb in and out. It is not difficult to climb out as long as stepping on munston.

An Yizhi found some dirt and footprints on munston's belly and head, which further explained that the other party escaped from the toilet window.

Since the beginning of the plot, three people have died here. Even if Mary, the maid torn by the monster, is not included, two people have died under the arrangement of a murderer.

The murderer hiding in the crowd, the monster hiding in the dark, what's the secret of this other restaurant in the mountain?

It makes people more and more curious

Ann pointed and thought.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Everyone gathered in the entertainment room on the first floor of the new house. This time, munston, the most unstable factor, died, so everyone dared to put forward any brain disability proposal to go back to each room. Everyone realized that it was safest to stay together and monitor each other.

"Mrs. Green, I know you are sad now, but may I ask you a few questions?"

Fanny's cry was sad. Others thought she would cry and faint.

"Please, Mr. Ann"

It took a long time to stop the tears, Fanny said in a squeezed voice.

"Did Mr. munston say anything before he went to the bathroom?"

"Nothing special. At first, I wanted to go to the bathroom. Because there was a homicide, I didn't dare to go alone, so I asked munston to accompany me. When I came out, he said his stomach was uncomfortable and asked me to go back first."

"Did you meet anyone on your way back to your room?"

"Yes, I met Mr. Hamill and Mr. Charles."

Both?

He looked at the two men and Hammill said quickly:

"At that time, I went to the bar in the recreation room to find some wine. So did Mr. Charles. I saw Mrs. Green when I returned to my room with a bottle“

Charles nodded approvingly, as if to say that Hammill was right.

Ann glanced at the wine rack not far away. There were two bottles of wine missing on it.

"Did you go straight back to your room after taking the wine?"

"Yes, until I heard the gunshot. I ran out of the room. I saw Charles standing downstairs in the hall with a gun. He asked me to go with Mrs. Green to see what happened."

If they didn't lie, all three had time to commit a crime, especially Fanny. Only she finally came into contact with the victim. At the same time, she may use drugs and other things to control munston and set up mechanisms, but the motivation

"Mrs. Green, may I ask a rude question?"

"Excuse me, Mr. an Yizhi"

"Have you officially married Mr. munston?"

“……”

Fanny was silent for a moment, and then cried even more sadly:

"No, we didn't register."

Well, Fanny's suspicion was ruled out.

At first, an Yizhi thought that the motive was inheritance. Munston was a rich man anyway. After his death, his inheritance would certainly be given to his widow, so Fanny was the most likely. After all, it was a common trick for young daughter-in-law to murder her older husband for inheritance.

But they are not married at all, that is to say, all the things under munston will be auctioned by the government without an heir. Fanny has no place and she can't get anything.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why she cried so sad

So the suspect was locked in Hammill, Charles and Oliver, the cook. In fact, in an Yizhi's opinion, Charles is the most suspect, but he always feels as if there is something he ignores. In addition, without evidence, an Yizhi dare not scare the snake.

Charles also has a gun in his hand. Besides, he is a veteran who has participated in the war. Tu Hongyu and an Yizhi are not sure to take him because they don't make good preparations.

There's another thing that goes around and around, and it goes back to the unavoidable problem.

Motive for murder.

Even if Charles did all this, why did he do it?

An Yizhi felt that his motive for killing seemed to be related to the so-called truth in the main task.

"I have something to investigate. You should be safer here," said Ann. She looked at the clock. It's almost 1 a.m.

The old housekeeper said with cooperation:

"People will come here from 5:00 to 6:00 in the morning. They will find out about the suspension bridge."

In other words, the rescue will arrive in 4 ~ 5 hours.

Nodding, Ann pointed and said:

"You heard that you can leave here in a few more hours, so you'd better not walk around during this time."

The system prompt just sounded again.

[mainline task update: time limit is added, and the remaining time is 4 hours and 37 minutes]

An Yizhi wants to give himself a mouth. Mom's mouth is cheap again
