Chapter 358 Some People Really Deserve to Go to Hell

Anthony's face changed instantly.

He couldn't even stand still and backed away until he leaned against the pool table and pressed his hands against the table, and then he didn't slump on the ground because of his weak legs.

He really never thought that Li Changheng would use the revenge of killing the hereditary earl to focus on his other problems regardless of the evidence.

Even spending money and experience, just to make him bankrupt.

Moreover, Anthony broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of what he had done because the business was not good and the company was about to go bankrupt.

Li Changheng chuckled, "Are you thinking that even so, it's better than being convicted and going to jail, right?"

Anthony raised his head instantly, and heard the young man in front of him smile and say, "If I say that we only want to catch the perpetrator, we don't care about anything else.

Even helping you out, giving you the opportunity to sell that bankrupt company, leave England with a sum of money, and start over elsewhere, so do you say or not? "

After hearing this, although Anthony still didn't speak, the expression on his face and eyes all said that he wanted to agree to the condition, but he didn't dare to speak directly, lest he be cheated by Li Changheng.

After thinking for a while, Li Changheng decided not to tell the story of old Gosford being poisoned.

Looking at Sergeant Tedel, he asked, "What if Earl Gosford had died of a heart attack or other diseases before he was assassinated.

So the person who assassinated him has nothing to do with murder? "

Sergeant Tedel was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Li Changheng in disbelief.

But soon he frowned and lowered his head to remember, and then exclaimed, "God, is there not much blood on the white shirt?"

Li Changheng smiled and nodded, "Only people who have been dead for more than half an hour will be stabbed in the chest, and only a small amount of blood will flow out."

"Hell, is it true that the count drank too much alcohol and died of a heart attack?"

While Sergeant Tedel was dumbfounded, he held his forehead regretfully.

I thought it was a great contribution, but now there is such a turning point.

If the assassin is not caught, let alone the credit, as long as the statement that Earl Gosford had a heart attack and died first appears in the report.

The superiors and the nobles would definitely think that he was perfunctory, or that he was a cover for the murderer, or even bought by the murderer.

Tedel looked at Anthony with a sullen expression and said, "As long as you say it, I promise that I won't mention the little hole in the garden that was smashed by the dagger in the report."

Li Changheng instantly understood that Sergeant Tedel was lying to Anthony just like himself, because his subordinates saw it, and the housekeeper also saw it.

It is not so easy to say that there is no and there is no.

Moreover, if he really intends to let Anthony go, he should say that he will tell the prosecutor that Anthony has performed meritorious service.

At the very least, we have to wait until Anthony's lawyer arrives. It is safest to let his lawyer reach an agreement with the monitoring party.

But Anthony was stunned by the surprise that Old Gosford had a heart attack.

Then what I thought in my heart was that although I don't have to go to jail, if I don't tell who is the assassin, I will still be impoverished by the nobles for the rest of my life, and my wife and children will be separated.

Therefore, Anthony didn't think about letting his lawyer handle it at this time, or he didn't deal with lawyers in criminal cases at all.

Or maybe he doesn't understand the law at all.

"The murderer was Defoe, Raymond's driver."

Li Changheng frowned and asked hastily, "Why?"

"Because, because."

Anthony stammered for a while, and said excitedly, "Because Defoe is the illegitimate son of Earl Gosford."

FK.

Li Changheng and Sergeant Tedel immediately cursed in their hearts.

Then I heard Anthony continue, "Moreover, he was sent to an orphanage since he was born, and even the orphanage that adopted him specially adopted the Earl of Gosford's private children."

Li Changheng couldn't help clenching his fists, he himself was born as an orphan, empathizing with himself, he cursed the old Gosford by secretly cursing 'death'.

But after a while he asked in disbelief, "Since it is an orphanage dedicated to adopting those illegitimate children, it is very likely that Defoe does not know his identity and the identity of his brothers and sisters.

And even if he had a hard time, could he hate Gosford to the point where he had to kill him?

After all, the orphanage raised him. "

"It's not that simple," Anthony sighed, "until we found Defoe, he really didn't know anything.

But after we told him, when we went to look for our brothers and sisters, except for one younger brother who started a family and had a good life with children.

Three of the other four died early, and the only remaining sister was sick and would not live long. How much do you think he would hate his father? "

After hearing Anthony's words, Li Changheng and Tedel couldn't help but fell silent.

Then he stared at Anthony and asked, "According to what you said, this happened at least ten years ago, so how did you know.

Besides, the 'we' you mentioned just now, besides Raymond, is there the Countess of Trenson? "

Li Changheng suspected Countess Terence, Countess Sylvia's aunt, because the old woman had prevented him from continuing his investigation when he was in the study.

Now that I think about it, it is probably only people of her age who may know about old Gosford.

What is the reason?

Before Anthony could speak, he asked, "Why does Countess Terencen want Earl Gosford to die?"

When Anthony heard this, he immediately showed a shocked expression, but after seeing Li Changheng's expressionless eyes.

While being taken aback, he could only say, "Probably because of the alimony."

Just because of this?

Li Changheng didn't believe it at first, but then he thought that the old woman looked at least 70 years old.

How would she survive without a source of income?

"So, you were all dragged into the pirate ship by Countess Terence?"

Anthony shook his head, "I got involved because Raymond told me that my wife Lavinia had a special relationship with the Earl for 4 years.

Furious, plus he promised me £10,000 if I stole the knives from the manor kitchen.

Besides, I didn't throw the knife, but Raymond threw it. "

Li Changheng curled his lips after hearing this, it doesn't matter who threw the murder weapon at this moment.

He really didn't want to take revenge on people like Anthony, but what Philip would do was none of his business.

Then he looked at Anthony and asked, "Then you should know Raymond, why did Earl Gosford die?"

Anthony was silent for a while, "Do you think old Gosford will attack my wife, so the prettier and more vain Louisa can escape his murderous hands?

And combined with the fact that Raymond has been speculating in foreign exchange and instigating the Earl to buy South African currency, it can be guessed.

He should have one in his hand. The South African foreign exchange futures contract is about to be delivered.

If the contract cannot be sold, or if someone takes over the contract, it is likely to go bankrupt and even owe a lot of money to the bank. "
