Chapter 359: After All, It's Still for Profit
"That is to say, Raymond pulled you in, and he was pulled in by the Countess of Terence?"
Li Changheng finished speaking with a frown, and said deliberately, "You and Raymond's wife may not know about this, but what about Sylvia?"
But he didn't expect Anthony to frown when he heard that he took the initiative to put aside his wife's responsibility.
It seemed that he really hated his wife for being unfaithful to him, and then presumably thought that the more people involved, the safer he would be.
He replied without the slightest hesitation, "Of course Sylvia knows about this, because the Countess of Terence can only confirm from Sylvia whether Countess Gosford will stop her alimony."
Li Changheng agreed with this. After all, the old woman would not ask Gosford directly about this kind of matter.
The first thought of a normal person must be to try to see if there is any chance of redemption.
So once the old Gosford is asked directly, there is probably no chance for him to take back his thoughts.
Then, maybe she didn't think of killing Gosford at first, but after asking Sylvia, maybe she was stimulated by what Sylvia said, and then she began to conspire with the uncle and nephew to kill the earl.
But the two women wanted to kill an earl, let alone if they couldn't do it, it would be safer to do it by themselves than to find someone who wanted Gosford to die.
And it's not that simple to bring a grown man into the manor.
At least in order to get rid of suspicion, Sylvia couldn't directly recruit people in.
She doesn't even have the right to do so.
Not to mention that recruiting is the job of the housekeeper, and the identity and birth of the newcomer will definitely be investigated.
And normally, the butler would only recruit people who were familiar with or who lived near the manor.
And there must be many families living near the manor, who have served the Gosford family for generations.
Then you can only enter the manor openly by becoming the entourage of the guests, the driver and the like.
However, what Li Changheng couldn't understand at this time was, if Gosford died, how would Raymond get a large sum of money?
"Is Sylvia having an affair with that Mickey?"
Anthony pointed at Li Changheng in disbelief, and then his wrist was hit by the cane in Li Changheng's hand.
He almost cried out in pain.
And Li Changheng didn't need Anthony to say more, and then asked, "That guy named Defoe, did Mitch find it for you?"
This time, Anthony's face was full of horror.
The young man in front of him is really too smart, and his smartness is frightening.
But for Li Changheng, this is actually very easy to think of.
Anthony and Raymond can only be regarded as people with some assets at best.
How can such an ordinary person with little money and no influence find someone who has been away from the orphanage for many years?
Only a rich and well-connected person like Mickey can easily find Defoe.
It is even possible to send someone pretending to be a gangster to humiliate him, even his younger brother who is still alive, and his younger sister who is dying of illness.
Arouse his dissatisfaction with society, the injustice of God and other negative thoughts, so that he can pass all his hatred on his father.
This kind of routine is nothing to Li Changheng.
Now that Sylvia and Mickey are having an affair, and Gosford intends to move his family to London.
Does that mean that after Gosford died, Isabel Gosford, who was only 18 years old, would definitely not stay in the sad place of the manor.
She wants to sell the estate and Mickey will take over.
If she doesn't sell it, she will go to London again.
If Sylvia told her that all the income of the manor would be handed over to Isabel after leaving labor and alimony, then the manor would most likely be handed over to Sylvia.
In this way, the widowed Sylvia can hang out with Mickey openly, and even marry him without any problem.
Mickey doesn't have to worry about the exposure of the farm, but to destroy the underground plantation farm, he only needs to dispose of all the special tobacco first.
After three to five months, when everything calms down, you can continue to work.
They even directly brought Sylvia into the group, and after Raymond and Anthony received the money, it was not so easy for them to get off the ship.
If these two people don't know how to play, or if the mud can't support the trash on the wall, then it's not difficult to kill them both.
Even if they died, no one would necessarily care.
Li Changheng patted Anthony on the shoulder, then smiled and said to Teddle, "Sheriff, do you have any evidence that Anthony, Raymond, Countess Silvia and Countess Trenson were involved in the murder?"
Taidel looked back at his subordinate, and saw that he also frowned.
In the end, I could only shake my head helplessly and said, "Both Police Officer Elder and I didn't make any records. Moreover, without the interrogation in the presence of a lawyer and the signature of Mr. Anthony, I can't sue those people you mentioned."
Anthony looked overjoyed, while Li Changheng smiled and nodded, telling Anthony to leave the billiard room.
Looking at Teidel and his subordinate Elder, he said, "Very well, then the credit for catching Defoe will be given to you.
Moreover, this is a case of a follower murdering someone on purpose, isn't it? "
Not only did Tedel not hesitate at all this time, but he wished to smile like this and said, "That's right, that's the only description in the report between me and Elder."
Officer Elder saw Tedel and Li Changheng looking at him, his heart tightened, and he nodded immediately.
The threatening words that Li Changheng said to Anthony just now are effective for Anthony, and they are also effective for him, a small policeman.
Moreover, I didn't see Teddle, a guy with a backstage, and I was too scared to participate. Unless I wanted to kill myself, I better keep my mouth shut.
As for what is just and unjust.
When Elder thought of Earl Gosford throwing several illegitimate children in the orphanage like trash, he felt that people like him should have gone to hell long ago.
Now that the murderer has been found, let's talk about other things when I get old and see God soon.
Seeing Tedel and Elder leave, Li Changheng not only didn't have the slightest idea of happiness, but worried that this matter might not end so easily.
Because it is a fact that cannot be changed.
Gosford was indeed poisoned.
So who poisoned him?
Why did you choose to poison him tonight?
Those who were looking forward to Gosford's death, except Anthony and four others.
Who else not only wants him to die, but also has enough hatred to really do it?
Close your eyes and carefully recall who was in the living room before.
It seems that Sylvia, who assigned Ivor to play and sing, left the living room before Ivor's singing sounded.
Then he brought Countess Terence, Isabel, Mabel, Perelin and It, and entered the living room with a smile.
The other guests, including the butler Condela and a valet who assisted Condela, remained in the drawing room at all times.
Even if someone goes to the toilet, it won't take long, because there is a special toilet next to the living room.
That is to say, the man who poisoned was the servant and maid of the manor, the kitchen staff, or the entourage of the guests?
