The dead man is, Bitos.
The young man who was trying to pull Jason into his camp just now was being hanged on the stairs leading to the second floor from the third floor.
Bitos stared, his tongue sticking out, a leather shoe fell on the stairs, a hemp rope was wrapped around his neck, tied to the wooden railing near the landing of the third floor of stairs, and he hit a Very strong double single knot.
It was high enough that Bitos' feet were suspended 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 close.
Several guards guarded the scene.
This was what Jason saw when he arrived.
"Hanged?"
Jason looked at Bitos' body, and didn't intervene at will, but quietly waited for Gerald's arrival.
Gerrard is not only the owner of this mansion, but also the manager of Hans Harbour, so he should leave it to the other party to deal with the situation and reason.
During this waiting time, Jason glanced at the gathering relatives.
There was horror in the eyes of these people.
but,
More is secretly happy.
The kind of secret joy after no competitors.
As Bitos said, he is different from these relatives in that he should have considerable 'competitiveness'.
only…
That competitiveness is now gone.
Death always takes everything.
It will also bring something.
There is sorrow.
There is also joy.
And at this moment, the latter is clearly more.
Step, step.
Gerald, who changed into a blue knight uniform, came down.
The butler walked beside Gerald.
Undoubtedly, the steward has already informed Gerald of what happened. The man in charge of Hans Harbor has a gloomy complexion, and his breath is full of depression.
No one likes a murder in their own house.
Gerrard is no exception.
Even more disgusting.
Because, his identity is different.
"Go block the news."
"Put the body down."
Gerald ordered the butler, and then, when the guards were ready to act, the manager of Hans Harbor walked up to Jason, stood shoulder to shoulder with Jason, and watched the guards put the body down together.
"Together?"
Gerald invited Jason.
Jason walked forward in silence.
He wasn't interested in Beatos' body.
Can…
The faint scent on Bitos' body made him very concerned.
That's the smell of food!
But, very weak!
It's so dim that even Jason's perception is more than three times that of ordinary people, he can only smell a little at a close distance.
And, more importantly, there was no such food aroma on Bitos just now.
If anything, Jason would never mind the other party entering the room for a chat.
"Meet 'food' or 'food' related people after leaving."
"And get killed?"
Jason guessed, looking 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 strangle mark is not a half circle, but a complete circle.
Then, Jason walked up the stairs leading to the third floor. He checked the position where the rope was tied before, and there was no trace of friction.
There is no doubt that murder is certain.
But not directly hanged.
Instead, he was strangled to death in the stairwell and then hung up.
Otherwise, the strangle marks should only be on one side of the throat, not all of them, and there should be some friction on the railing of the stairs. You must know that after being hung up, people will not die immediately, at least they will dance with their hands and feet.
The shoes on the stairs should be used by the other party to confuse everyone, making people think that Bitos was hanged.
However, why did the other party do this
Jason was slightly puzzled.
Hanging and strangling are both death, and the essence will not change. The murderer has spent so much effort to turn strangulation into hanging...
"Is there any hanging legend in this mansion?"
Jason asked Gerald.
"No."
"It was built in the last ten years. Since the start of construction, there have been no accidents until now."
Gerald answered in the affirmative.
At the same time, there was a flash of appreciation in his eyes.
You know, he was thinking about this question just now.
And his cousin already had a direction of suspicion, which pleased Gerald greatly.
Smart as a kid!
A picture of his childhood appeared in Gerald's mind, but at this time Jason's eyes were on those so-called relatives.
In Jason's view, these relatives were quite suspicious.
In fact, many people started to dodge when Jason's gaze swept over them.
This scene, Gerrard saw.
He waved his hand at the butler, and pointed at the value of the gesture.
Immediately, the butler walked over with several guards.
"Master Gerald!"
"It's none of our business!"
"It was Raul who said he was going to hang Bitos!"
Before the housekeeper could say anything, these guys whose eyes were shining just now spoke directly.
Raul
Like some uncle's son.
Once a Confederate soldier, but left the army because of a mistake.
When we met at the gate of the mansion before, the other party stood in the middle of the crowd, and was the only one who directly showed a slight hostility towards him.
It's a reckless guy.
It is not surprising to do such a thing on impulse.
only…
Jason didn't see Raul in the crowd, he subconsciously raised his nose.
No smell of food was detected either.
"Where's Raul?"
Gerald asked in a low voice.
After looking at each other in blank dismay, these relatives shook their heads.
Gerald looked at his butler.
"Mr. Lauer said before that he wanted to go to the beach."
replied the butler.
"go to the beach."
Gerald turned and walked towards the beach.
Jason followed.
The group heard Denise's heartless laughter from a long distance away.
Such laughter eased the tense atmosphere of the team.
Then…
Everyone saw three people buried in the beach, and Denise piled a pile of... poop-shaped sand on everyone's head.
The faces of those relatives changed.
Many of them knew what these three people were doing on the beach.
But this result
It's a little different from what they imagined.
The corners of Gerald's mouth curled up, revealing a smile.
His study room can also see this piece of beach. Although he didn't pay attention to it, he can guess what happened. Or, will also choose the innocuous approach.
Very kind girl.
As for those poop-shaped sand
So what
He and Jason threw cow dung at each other when someone tried to bully him when they were kids.
"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 person buried in the sand, and asked directly, "Did you see anyone else here?"
Before Dennis could answer, Jason's nose twitched and he looked towards the seaside.
Seeing Jason's movements, the people around subconsciously followed Jason's gaze.
Then
Screams one after another!
"died!"
"Raul is dead!"
