Chapter Twenty-Eight: Take Two~Ask for a Monthly Pass~)
The dead person is Bitos.
The young man who had just tried to pull Jason into his own camp was hanged on the stairs from the third floor to the second floor.
Bitos stared, his tongue stuck out, and one of his leather shoes fell on the stairs. A hemp rope was wrapped around his neck and tied to the wooden railing of the three-story staircase near the stairway.
Very strong double single knot.
It was high enough that Bitos' feet were dangling in the air and his head almost touched the bottom of the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
Waiters and attendants blocked relatives who wanted to get closer.
Several guards protected the scene.
This is what Jason saw when he arrived.
"Hang?"
Jason looked at Bitos's body and did not intervene at will, but quietly waited for Gerald's arrival.
Gerald is not only the owner of this mansion, but also the person in charge of Hans Harbor. He should be left to the other party to deal with matters and reasons.
During this waiting time, Jason glanced at the relatives who were constantly gathering.
There was fear in these people's eyes.
but,
More of a secret joy.
The kind of secret joy when there are no more competitors.
Just like Bitos said, unlike these relatives, he should be quite 'competitive'.
only……
This competitiveness is now gone.
Death always takes everything away.
It will also bring something.
There is sadness.
There is joy too.
At this moment, the latter is obviously more.
Tread, step.
Gerrard, who had changed into a blue knight uniform, came down.
The butler walked beside Gerald.
Undoubtedly, the steward had informed Gerald of what had happened. The man in charge of Hans Harbor looked gloomy and his aura was full of depression.
No one likes a murder in their house.
Gerrard is no exception.
Even more annoying.
Because his identity is different.
"Go and block the message."
"Put the body down."
Gerald ordered the butler, and then, when the guards took action, the leader of Hans Harbor walked to Jason's side, stood side by side with Jason, and watched the guards put the body down together.
"Together?"
Gerald invited Jason.
Jason walked forward silently.
He was not interested in Bitos' body.
Can……
The faint fragrance of Bitos' body made him very concerned.
That's what the food tastes like!
But, very light!
It was so faint that even Jason, whose perception was more than three times higher than that of ordinary people, could only smell a little bit at a close distance.
And, more importantly, there was no such food aroma on Bitos just now.
If so, Jason would never mind if the other person came into the room to talk.
“After leaving, I met ‘food’ or ‘food’-related people.”
"And then get killed?"
Jason guessed and looked at the corpse.
The rope marks are clearly visible.
The throat bone was completely broken, which shows that the murderer was very strong.
Moreover, the strangulation mark is not a half circle, but a complete circle.
Then, Jason walked up the stairs to the third floor. He checked where the rope was tied before, and there were no signs of friction.
Murder is certain without a doubt.
But he was not hanged directly.
Instead, he was strangled to death in the stairwell and then hung up.
Otherwise, the strangulation marks should only be on one side of the throat, not all of it. There should also be some friction on the railings of the stairs. You must know that after being hung up, the person will not die immediately, but will at least dance for a while.
The shoes on the stairs must have been used to confuse everyone's attention, making people think that Bitos was hanged.
But why did the other party do this?
Jason was slightly puzzled.
Hanging and strangulation are both deaths, and their essence will not change. The murderer went to such great lengths to turn strangulation into hanging...
"Is there any hanging legend in this mansion?"
Jason asked Gerald.
"No."
"It was built in the past ten years. From the beginning of construction to now, there have been no accidents."
Gerald answered firmly.
At the same time, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
You know, he was thinking about this issue just now.
And his cousin already had the direction of suspicion, which greatly satisfied Gerald.
As smart as when I was a kid!
Pictures of his childhood emerged in Gerald's mind, and at this time Jason's eyes were looking at those so-called relatives.
In Jason's opinion, these relatives are quite suspicious.
In fact, many people started to dodge when Jason glanced at them.
Gerald saw this scene.
He waved his hand towards the butler and pointed at the value.
Immediately, the housekeeper walked over with several guards.
"Lord Gerald!"
"None of our business!"
"It was Raul who said he wanted to hang Bitos!"
Before the housekeeper could say anything, the guys with twinkling eyes spoke directly.
Raul?
He seems to be the son of some uncle.
He was once a soldier of the Union, but he left the army because of his mistakes.
When they met at the entrance of the mansion before, the other person stood in the middle of the crowd and was the only person who directly showed a hint of hostility towards him.
He's a reckless guy.
It's not surprising to do something like this in the heat of the moment.
only……
Jason didn't see Raul in the crowd, and he subconsciously twitched his nose.
There was no smell of food either.
"Where's Raul?"
Gerald asked in a deep voice.
After these relatives looked at each other, they all shook their heads.
Gerald looked at his butler.
"Mr. Raul said before that he wanted to go to the beach."
The butler replied.
"go to the beach."
Gerald turned around and walked towards the beach.
Jason followed.
The group heard Denise's heartless laughter from a long distance away.
Such laughter made the depressing atmosphere of the team relax slightly.
Then……
Everyone saw three people buried on the beach, and Denise piled a pile of...baba-shaped sand on each person's head.
The expressions of those relatives changed.
Many of them knew why these three people came to the beach.
But this result?
It's a little different from what they imagined.
Gerald raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile.
His study room could also see the beach. Although he didn't pay attention here, he could roughly guess what happened. In this regard, Gerald admired Denise's behavior very much: even if she had the ability to punish offenders in a real sense
Otherwise, they will also choose the innocuous approach.
A very kind girl.
As for those dada-shaped sands?
So what?
When they were kids, he and Jason even threw cow dung at each other when someone wanted to bully them.
"Jason!"
"Let's play together!"
When a group of people arrived, Denise saw Jason at a glance and waved her arms repeatedly.
Jason didn't even look at the people buried in the sand and asked directly: "Did you see anyone else here?"
Before Denise could answer, Jason's nose twitched and he looked towards the seaside.
Seeing Jason's movements, the people around him subconsciously followed Jason's gaze.
