Chapter 357 Assassinated by Two Groups
Li Changheng found a piece of paper and rolled it into a long tube.
Then, with a short body and slightly bent knees, he stood behind the sheriff holding the paper tube, and slowly covered the sheriff's mouth with his gloved left hand.
The right hand clenched a fist to demonstrate whether a man of Anthony's height stabbed the old Gosford's heart from behind, whether the angle of the dagger would be the same as that in front of the old Gosford's chest.
Sure enough, the old Gosford was tall, and he was a bit fat in addition to being pampered.
Therefore, even if he was sitting on a wooden chair, a person of Anthony's stature could indeed stab him in the chest with a dagger, but the angle of the dagger would be stabbing downwards obliquely.
Instead of the flat dagger hilt on Old Gosford's chest at this time.
"Basically, the suspicion that Anthony and the American producer Morris directly killed Earl Gosford can be ruled out."
Sergeant Tedel, as the person who conducted the experiment, of course saw Li Changheng's fist just now.
After thinking about it for a while, and then looking at the body of old Gosford, he nodded accordingly.
"Unless someone of Anthony's height, unless it's standing on tiptoe, or jumping up.
Otherwise, the angle of the stabbing can indeed prove that he and Morris are not the ones who did it. "
After finishing speaking, he shook his head again and said, "However, standing on tiptoes and jumping up, it is much more difficult to hit the chest with a knife.
We'll interrogate Anthony anyway, maybe he knows who made him throw the dagger through the window, or even who picked it up. "
Li Changheng nodded, but did not leave directly. Instead, he picked up the crystal wine glass that was poured on the desk, put it on his nose and smelled it.
He went to the wine cabinet again, opened the crystal bottle and smelled the whiskey inside.
He frowned instantly.
The advantage of his body being strengthened several times is that although his nose is not a million times stronger than a dog's, or even tens of millions of times stronger than a human's, but to his surprise, he didn't smell anything abnormal.
Did I guess wrong?
Li Changheng didn't even know how many times he scolded him this day.
Old Gosford drank too much wine, got drunk and fell asleep, so he was easily stabbed to death?
But it shouldn't be!
There was not much blood on the white shirt on the chest, which was obvious evidence that he was dead before he was assassinated.
Otherwise, the blood would at least flow through the white shirt to the waist, instead of just a circle of blood the size of half a fist.
After all, where is the heart? That is the source of the pooling and supply of human blood.
Only when a person is dead and the blood does not circulate will it settle and pool in the lower limbs after half an hour.
As a result, the blood in the upper body is insufficient, and the blood will slowly coagulate, so there is not much left from the wound.
In other words, there are two groups of people with the same purpose, one for poisoning and the other for assassination.
Damn John Gosford, how many people have he offended?
How many evil deeds did he do so that so many people wished him to die immediately?
But apart from alcohol, old Gosford was poisoned to death by something.
Could it be that he was already poisoned during dinner, that's why Sylvia and Mabel acted together in that scene?
For a moment, Li Changheng suddenly felt that his direction was completely wrong.
After the old Gosford left the restaurant in disregard of etiquette, all the host's family and guests continued to dine in the restaurant for nearly an hour before leaving.
This time is long enough for him to be poisoned to death alone.
But within a few seconds, this idea was rejected by him.
There are too many uncertainties in this approach.
Or was it someone who entered the study and took the opportunity to poison the old man to death in the name of giving him snacks because he was not full?
And after watching him finish eating, he packed up the tableware and went back to the basement to wash it off?
Then the person who wanted to assassinate him could easily stab the old man in the heart without arousing any resistance from him.
After all, normally speaking, even if the bullet pierces the heart and breaks the heart, the person will not die immediately.
In other words, legally, the person who assassinated did not commit the crime of murder, but the crime of assassination, or additional crimes.
After all, murder, murder, at least the person killed must live, this is called murder.
The evidence that can prove that the assassin was not a murder is the blood on the old Gosford's chest, and the poison that will definitely be found after the autopsy.
But now Li Changheng has a headache.
It may be difficult to find out who poisoned, or it may be very simple.
According to the rules of noble families, not many people can enter the study.
But the situation at that time was that because of Ivor's singing and piano sound, all the servants and guests' followers in the manor were attracted.
Li Changheng himself heard a lot of walking and talking outside the living room. It is very likely that no one saw anyone entering the study.
Even, the murderer probably entered the study while Li Changheng and the others were still eating.
Also, why?
Everyone knows that murder must have a motive.
Moreover, Li Changheng was 100% sure that the person who could enter the study room would not arouse old Gosford's guard.
But why didn't kill him sooner or later, why did he choose this time tonight?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Changheng felt that there might be a secret hidden in it that no one could think of.
Rubbing his forehead, he immediately thought that maybe if he found the poisoner, he could find the assassin.
No, maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome.
Since the old Gosford died of poison first, if Anthony knew about this, his crime would depend on how Li Changheng and Sergeant Tydel determined.
"Come on, let's interrogate Anthony."
Quickly go back to the living room.
I saw Andrew walking over quickly and asking, "How's it going?"
Li Changheng shook his head, "If you're sleepy, sleep on the sofa; if you're not sleepy, continue the game with Bell and the others."
After finishing speaking, he ignored Andrew, but took Anthony back to the billiard room directly.
"We found your fingerprints, and found the grave in the garden where the dagger had been plunged, and that dagger is now reappearing in the heart of Lord Gosford."
As Li Changheng said each sentence, Anthony's face became paler and paler.
But he is not stupid. Although his voice was trembling, he said with certainty, "I, I am innocent, you, what you said is all guesswork."
Li Changheng smiled, "We can ask you to go back to the police station for investigation, lock you up for 48 hours first, and then check whether you have committed crimes in the past, whether you have commercial fraud, and whether you have irregular business operations.
I don't believe you lived like a saint in the first half of your life.
And even if you're really a super nice guy.
We will also let you understand that although the nobles have no real power, how difficult it will be in society and public opinion to treat an accomplice who helped the person who killed the hereditary earl.
Unless you hide at home and don't go out, you will see private investigators and reporters staring at you every day when you go out.
No one does business with you, no one deals with you.
We'll bankrupt you and make you miserable like a wild dog for the rest of your life.
Your wife will leave you, your children will starve every day without food, and will be as poor as you in the future because they cannot go to a good school.
Even if your child studies hard, we will make him unable to work hard.
Because, you and others murdered a hereditary earl. "
Li Changheng patted the pale-faced Anthony's shoulder with his palm, "Dude, you are the common enemy of the nobles of England, do you understand?"
