Chapter 189 The Fallen Clothes 5

"Whatever you think." Su Tao looked at the housekeeper and asked, "Has Mr. James never come out?"

The butler looked at the Duke of Argyll a few more times, "Duke Argyll, you were the last to see Mr. James, did you have any conflicts?"

Argyle's expression changed instantly, "What do you mean, I'll just put my words here, I haven't killed a single person, I'm a civilian."

Capel Love looked at the absent-minded Su Tao vigilantly, and said kindly, "Housekeeper, I think you should pay more attention to Miss Russell."

"Miss Capet, I will pay attention to everyone here."

Su Tao didn't pay much attention to what they said. She just looked at the flat wound on the corpse and fell into deep thought. Where did his head go, or was Miss Fan's head upstairs also taken away.

Could the cause of his death be that his throat was sealed with a knife?

"Jiujiu, would you like to guess why the murderer hid his head?"

Su Tao glanced at Gu Yanqing who was very idle, and replied calmly, "I can't guess."

"Don't worry, maybe the murderer has some very powerful skills?" Gu Yanqing said with a smile, "This wound can't be cut like this with an ordinary murder weapon."

Su Tao suddenly remembered something, "I have seen a murder weapon that cuts off the head directly. It seems to be called... a blood drop?"

Gu Yanqing touched Su Tao suddenly, he squatted down, and picked up the clothes on the ground with two fingers, "The embroidery on this collar is so delicate."

Su Tao looked over.

A delicate rose was embroidered on the collars on both sides, and the thin red thread was flawless, as delicate as two real roses.

"Mrs. Capet, I heard that your embroidery ability is very strong." Gu Yanqing said suddenly, startling Mrs. Capet who was silent at the side.

Mrs. Capet took a few steps forward, and her eyes stayed on the embroidery, "Ah, yes. But I haven't picked up a needle and thread for a long time." After a pause, she continued: "But although this embroidery looks very Delicate, but as long as someone has a certain level of skill, it can be embroidered."

Su Tao raised her eyes and said tentatively, "Mrs. Capet, you and James have been in the study for an hour now, didn't they just say hello?"

"I..." Mrs. Capet lowered her eyes, her eyes averted a little, "The system said, this cannot be said, it is a private secret."

"Doesn't it mean you didn't say anything?" Su Tao looked at the Duke of Argyll again, "Did Mrs. Capet leave when you went in?"

In fact, Argyle didn't really want to answer. He was the last one to see James. No matter what he said, he was the most suspicious, but looking at Su Tao, he couldn't help saying: "Yes, Mr. James said Madame Capet has gone upstairs to rest."

Su Tao thought about it for a while, and in the memory sent to her by the system, she was indeed awakened by a noise outside in the middle of her sleep. It sounded like footsteps.

"What did James say to you?"

"Well... I didn't say anything. I asked about various situations in my family. At that time, Mr. James looked very strange. Although he had been talking to me, he was looking at the book with his head down at the time." Argyle The Duke pointed to the half-turned design book on the table, and said, "This is the one."

"Then this cup of tea was empty before you came in?"

"Yes," Argyle had a flash of inspiration, "could it be that there was poison in the tea? Mr. James was actually poisoned to death, and the head of the corpse was cut off to confuse our thinking."

If we really follow what Argyle said, he directly pointed the finger at De Gesel. After all, it was him who sent the cup of tea, and now that the cup is empty, there is no way to verify whether there was anything in the tea. thing.

Moreover, none of them is a forensic doctor who can dissect the corpse and test the real cause of Mr. James' death.

"Don't talk nonsense," De Gesse said anxiously, "After I went out, I never went in again. The housekeeper can testify."

The butler acting as an NPC at the side echoed: "That's true. Mr. De Gesse's hand was accidentally scalded by boiling water. I took him to the cold storage to get two bags of ice packs, and then I have been helping to treat his wound."

"For such a big man, how careless is he? Will he be scalded by boiling water?" Gu Yanqing couldn't help laughing, and then poked Su Tao's arm, "You think so?"

"Well," Su Tao said, "After you came out of the study, were you burned?"

De Gesse nodded, "Yes, I was a little thirsty at the time, so I poured a cup of tea. Because I was too excited, I accidentally spilled it on my hand."

"What are you excited about?" Capel Love asked.

"Miss, I have already said that I went to Mr. James for my own business. Mr. James has agreed to fund me. Of course I am excited, otherwise I will be sad?"

Capel Love didn't feel any embarrassment, "Didn't I forget it?"

"By the way, Mr. Andrew, what were you doing at that time?" Su Tao turned his target to the man standing upright.

"I've been reading the newspaper in the lobby." Andrew said slowly without panicking, "During the period, I saw James come out and call Mr. Argyle up."

Mrs. Capet put in: "You see, Mr. James was all right when I came out."

Su Tao was a little distressed, they were all her own witnesses and evidence, except Argyle, but her intuition told her that it would not be that simple.

Recalling the person who fought her in the early morning, that kind of body shape and strength can only be a man.

"Butler, after Argyle came out, how long did it take you to go to the study?"

The butler thought for a while and said, "I should have called Mr. James at dinner time, but last night Mr. De Gesse kept crying for pain, so I delayed for a while and went to the study at about seven o'clock in the evening."

This time Argyle was very self-conscious, "I came down at almost six o'clock, because the butler said that dinner would start at 06:30, so I checked the time when I went downstairs."

With an hour in between, the killer can do a lot.

"Cuckoo~"

An inappropriate voice suddenly appeared, and everyone's eyes were on Cape Love. She smiled awkwardly and rubbed her belly, "I'm sorry, I'm really hungry now. From last night until now, I I really didn’t eat a single bite.”

The housekeeper also smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot to consider your food and clothing issues, sir and madam, let's go down to have breakfast first, there is still a lot of time in the morning to find clues."

When going out, the butler locked the study room on purpose.

Su Tao and Gu Yanqing were at the end, thinking about something, when a horrified scream suddenly came...
