Chapter 363 An Unexpected Assassination Method

"Lorraine".

Li Changheng called Lorraine Theron over, "You go to the basement with me."

Then he ordered the bodyguards of Andrew, Grosvenor and others to separate two people to watch Reggie Clay who was wounded by Frankie and tied up again.

Only then did Lorraine and Frankie go to the basement under the leadership of the butler.

While going down the stairs, I was thinking about the figure of that fat cook, Abby.

Thinking about it now, besides being fat, her stomach is indeed a little protruding.

If you insist on using speculation to suspect that Abby is an accomplice, or even simply wants to kill old Gosford's motive.

Probably except for the old man's child in his stomach, and the fact that Wilson, the housekeeper, used his own experience and that of other maids who had left the manor to provoke him.

That would really prompt Abby to agree to become Wilson's accomplice.

A poisoned cake, let Wilson, who pretended to be ignorant, or someone else who could enter the study, send it to the old Gosford.

When the old man had dinner, he was pissed off before half of the meal arrived.

When he is not full and angry, when he sees his favorite dessert, the probability of him rejecting it will be very low.

No, it must have been delivered by the housekeeper.

Because, there is no dessert plate on the desk in the study.

Wilson should have watched old Gosford finish eating, and said that he would bring food up for Teddy later, to prevent Teddy from eating the cake too, and then take the plate away without leaving any evidence.

However, Wilson is not without flaws.

In case she goes back to the basement with the dinner plate, she will be easily encountered by servants and guests' entourage.

That said, she probably hid her dinner plate somewhere.

etc.

Li Changheng thought again that the screams of Louisa who had gone to call Gosford before had caused chaos in the manor.

The chances of Wilson taking advantage of the chaos and taking the dinner plate are not small.

Li Changheng frowned and thought, if Wilson had a strong mental quality, he would quietly take the dinner plate somewhere to wash it.

But if she was nervous and worried about being seen.

Likely to hide the dinner plate in your bedroom, or somewhere else where it's less likely to be found, or where it won't arouse suspicion.

Restaurant, mixed in with other plates?

No, Li Changheng quickly shook his head.

There was an interval of three hours between the time I waited for the others to finish the meal, and the time when Sylvia's second sister, Louisa, found out that Old Gosford was dead.

After such a long time, the servants must have packed up the kitchen utensils and hurriedly sent them to the kitchen. After their day's work is over, they can rest, chat with other people, and listen to the radio.

When he came to the large restaurant in the basement, dozens of people were all staring at him.

Li Changheng frowned and looked at the handcuffed man sitting alone on the long table.

Needless to say, he must be Defoe.

"SIR, I am innocent, I did not kill anyone."

"I know."

Li Changheng's words made dozens of people around him exclaim in an instant.

But what he said next made everyone even more incredible.

"If I were you, I would admit that I killed someone, because in this way, you will not spend the years to come in regret."

It's a pity that it is impossible for Defoe to listen to Li Changheng's words before he knows that his mother is the one who poisoned him.

He even felt that he was cheating himself.

Li Changheng Dewen glanced around.

In addition to Mrs. Clott, who was always wearing a chef's gown, there was a woman who looked about 60 years old.

"Butler Wilson?"

"Yes, Sir, I'm Wilson Colin."

Li Changheng looked at the corners of his mouth twitching a few times. Although he couldn't tell whether he was nervous or not, he kept looking at Defoe's Wilson from the corner of his eyes.

Just as he was about to ask her why she wanted to kill Earl Gosford, he suddenly heard a voice from his left.

"Wait, Sir-LEE, this matter has nothing to do with Wilson, she was just used by me."

"God."

All the people present looked at the speaking Mrs. Clott in disbelief.

And it didn't take long for someone to believe her words.

Li Changheng frowned and looked at the butler Kondra, seeing him hurrying to his side, he explained in a low voice.

"SIR, Mrs. Clott and Ms. Wilson have been fighting secretly in this manor for decades."

But when Li Changheng saw Mrs. Clott's expression, he knew that there was no secret fight at all.

Some are just two poor women who care about each other, but must not pretend that they are rivals in order to gain the master's peace of mind.

etc.

Mrs. Clott said that Wilson was just being used, but she didn't say anything poisonous, which immediately gave Li Changheng the idea that things might get out of his control.

But I heard Wilson say with a straight face, "I don't need your pity."

Before Madam Clott could speak, she hurriedly said, "The count's death was just an accident.

I heard from the footmen that the count, annoyed by the guests and Lady Sylvia, left the table.

Let the kitchen make a red velvet cake and send it up, lest the count be hungry at night and ask us servants to get up to prepare food.

When I came to the study, I saw the earl was drinking non-stop, and asked me to get sleeping pills, saying that I couldn't sleep. "

Li Changheng would believe this, but he immediately thought of sleeping pills with strong wine, which is simply courting death.

Drinking both together, the high quality of the alcohol will at first counteract the medicinal properties of the sleeping pill.

But once drinking too much alcohol, it will cause people to fall into a state of confusion and unconsciousness.

At this time, it was added together with An Mian Pill, and old Gosford was already in his 60s.

Not only getting older, being obese can definitely cause a lot of problems.

Therefore, it is indeed possible that he stopped breathing unknowingly due to the dual effects of spirits and sleeping pills.

But Li Changheng didn't believe her words.

Because seeing Fat Cook Abby's expression of surprise and surprise, I knew that sleeping pills were probably added to the cake in advance, and there must be a lot of them.

It's true that some things are mutually exclusive, but not mentioning the dose is fooling people.

Even if old Gosford was extremely stupid, he couldn't take several sleeping pills at once.

Even what Wilson said just now was a lie.

The old man didn't ask for sleeping pills at all. Wilson was sure that the cake was eaten into Gosford's stomach, and the old man died without evidence. If the prosecution couldn't get evidence, they couldn't sue her.

Then Li Changheng heard Wilson continue to say, "I reminded the Earl that he was even more unwilling and afraid to get the medicine, but he threatened me with the antique gunpowder gun in his hand that he would shoot me dead if I didn't take it."

Now many people whispered, and some even glared at Li Changheng.

Li Changheng snorted coldly, looked at Wilson with a calm expression and asked, "How do you know that sleeping pills and spirits cannot be taken at the same time?"

But Wilson shook his head and said, "SIR, just using spirits instead of water, the harm is not serious.

But if you drink a lot of alcohol beforehand, then take sleeping pills, and then continue to drink, that is the most harmful.

As for how do I know? "

After returning to my hometown for three days, I was drunk for two days. If I hadn’t saved the manuscript, I would have cried.

The normal update will resume tomorrow, and I will apologize to all the book friends.
