Chapter 356 No, How Is This Possible?

So if Raymond himself doesn't talk nonsense, and if his lawyer handles it well, he may be able to get away with it directly.

Even, if he accused Anthony of the cause, the judicial department in England would probably reach a settlement agreement with his lawyer considering that his crime was not serious.

Under the Anglo-American legal system, in order to focus on larger crimes, it is simply normal for prosecutors to make deals with accomplices or minor criminals in private.

Seeing that Reggie who was lying on the ground finally recovered, Li Changheng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

If it was in another place, even if he was buried, Li Changheng would not even blink his eyes.

But if someone dies in full view, then things will be troublesome.

At least Ferranci must face the dilemma of manslaughter or protecting a dignitary without guilt, and wait for Li Changheng to release him on bail to see how it works.

When Li Changheng took Ferranci into the billiard room, he saw Sergeant Tedel holding a cue.

Constantly knock on the surrounding walls, wooden frames, etc., and listen to whether there is any abnormality in the sound.

Moreover, this guy was still smoking a pipe, and his eyes were always on Anthony.

Every time the cue was struck, Anthony's face showed a little expression unnaturally.

The flustered and nervous Anthony, who had been stared at by Merlin before, not only began to sweat on his forehead, but his body trembled with fright.

Anyone who sees it will know that he has a ghost in his heart.

Then I saw his eyes, occasionally aiming at the window of the pool room.

Sergeant Tedel's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to the window, leaned over two meters away, and looked carefully to see if there were any footprints on the window sill.

But no footprints were found, but a shallow finger print 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 there were no balconies, or projecting marble eaves, 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 wouldn't behave so badly.

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

And since Anthony hasn't left the pool room, why is that teddy yelling at him?

Then I thought, since there is a garden under the window, the possibility of talking about the key is not high.

Because it is normal for the servants of the manor to lock the gates, but the internal doors are generally not locked.

In other words, there are some doors for the owner, and there are guests tonight, so it is impossible for them to lock all the doors leading to the garden.

Then it's the murder weapon.

Different from ordinary people's families, nobles are also human beings, and they are more afraid of death.

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

The envelope-opening knives used by Philip and his staff were either round-headed or miniature 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 is also just Kaifeng, 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 stab into the human body with one 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 he wanted to kill him, the murderer needed a sharp knife to stab the heart, so as not to make much noise.

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

Moreover, this is also in line with Anthony's character, otherwise a cowardly person like him might not have the guts to kill old Gosford.

Li Changheng turned around and walked out of the billiard room, making people stare at Anthony and Raymond, and asked the butler Condra for some flashlights.

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

When he came to the garden, he shone several flashlights together, and Li Changheng, who had excellent eyesight, soon saw a small pit appearing on the gravel.

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

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

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

Li Changheng got up and walked in, and then led everyone to the old Gosford's study.

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

However, after taking a closer look at the study, I suddenly found that the place where old Gosford sat was made of solid wood, while the front of the desk, which was the middle of the study and the reception area, was covered with carpets.

Moreover, through the flashlight, it is easy to see that there are dried mud footprints on the solid wood floor.

FK.

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

As long as there is no one in the manor who has a motive for killing, or if no one is clearly identified as the murderer.

The police are likely to close the case with a burglary.

Judging from Sergeant Tedel's previous performance, he knew that these people were actually unwilling to really get involved in the affairs of the nobles.

After all, they were the police, and it would do them no good to bring down a nobleman, or offend most noblemen.

Only politicians will target and bite the group of nobles because they want to be famous and want to gain the support of ordinary people who hate or even hate the nobles.

But it is very difficult to find the murderer through a mud footprint.

When Li Changheng returned to London yesterday, Annie picked her up with an umbrella.

September is the wettest month of the year in England.

When he went hunting today, he wore rainproof riding boots. The others were either rubber shoes or shoes specially used for outdoor activities.

With the activities of nearly a hundred people and the identification technology of this era, there must be so many footprints that it would take ten days to count them.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to find along the footprints.

Instead, he helped the old Gosford who had been lying on the desk all the time, and wanted to see what killed him.

But after leaning the old man back on the wooden chair, Li Changheng immediately cursed to hell.

There was a dagger, all the blades of the blade had sunk into the old man's chest, leaving only the handle, but there was very little blood seeping into the Baise shirt.

An incredible idea floated in his mind.

But it made him feel that this shouldn't be done.

Then it occurred to him that the person who killed old Gosford with a dagger must be a man, and it was definitely not something that a thin person like Anthony could stab out.

Then he looked at Sergeant Tedder and saw that he was about the same height and build as 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 up, and pretended to be on the desk.
