Through Anne's introduction, everyone had a general understanding of the Custer family.
In general, because of this congenital genetic disease, the entire family rarely shows up. The last one to appear in front of outsiders should be Baron Wood Custer thirty years ago, who led his family into seclusion after selling arms.
Anne also accidentally learned about the existence of such a family when she was investigating in Country Y. After all, this family is very mysterious and very suitable for the material in her novel.
"Well... then this baron is likely to be the head of the Custer family of the previous generation? He lived in seclusion on this small island with his wife and two children, living a secluded life?"
Bailey touched his chin and analyzed based on the existing intelligence.
"Thirty years ago? If what that woman said is right, the people of this Custer family will not live beyond 40 years old, then his two children should have died long ago."
The rich businessman sat aside and said casually when he heard his words.
When they came, they only saw Mrs. Custer, and the housekeeper also told them that the other owners had died, so there was nothing wrong with what the rich businessman said.
But his tone made people feel uncomfortable. Song Nan stood aside, frowning, and disliked him in his heart.
"But I think this Mrs. Custer is very young, she seems to be less than 30 years old..."
The blonde woman spoke for the first time since entering the villa, but when he heard her words, Phil couldn't help but stare at her with disgust:
"Sophina, you stay here honestly, you have no right to speak here."
Hearing Phil's words, the blonde woman, that is, Sophia, trembled and quickly buried her head in Brussels' arms.
Brussels also hugged her tightly. Although he was very dissatisfied with Phil's attitude, he could only try to speak calmly because he was afraid of his family's power:
"Phil, I know you brought Sophia on board. You are uncomfortable with her sticking to me now, but you are a man, how can you always swear at women?"
"Heh! Have you forgotten what she did before? Okay, you can protect her if you love her. I want to see what you will end up with."
After that, Phil drank the red wine in one gulp, and went upstairs without caring what others thought.
The rest of the people downstairs also looked at each other.
At this time, the atmosphere was already frozen. Only Brussels didn't take it to heart and was still whispering to comfort Sophia.
Originally, everyone was going to discuss the search of the villa, but in the end it was disturbed by Phil.
Fortunately, they did not get nothing. They knew that the Caster family was not some ghost family, but a real family. They at least let down their guard a little.
Since they couldn't reach a consensus, and since Phil mentioned that matter, other people also began to get impatient.
So these people returned to the room one after another.
Time passed quickly on the island, and it felt like night had come soon.
Through the window blocked by iron bars, you can see that the moon has set outside, and the darkness is surging again, wanting to swallow everything.
Xie Qi had been waiting in the kitchen for a long time, wiping the half-arm-long kitchen knife with a white cloth in his hand.
This knife is indeed a product of the system. It is as smooth as a mirror. Even if it is stained with blood, as long as the knife is swung, the blood on it will slide down like raindrops, and he doesn't need to work hard to clean it.
He didn't let Nicaros work overtime tonight. His resentment during the day had made Xie Qi a little overwhelmed. If he let him come tonight, I'm afraid that the other party will ignore his identity and kill him.
As a former capitalist, Xie Qi knows how to give a sweet date after a stick. He can't push the workers too hard, otherwise he will probably be hung on the street lamp.
Xie Qi hummed a tune while wiping the knife. At 10 o'clock, the rich businessman had not come yet.
He put the knife down, turned around, and his hand touched the chopping board. A soft touch came from his palm.
He stroked it unconsciously with his hand for a few times, and whispered: "What a pity, I wanted to treat you to a meal at the end."
After that, he wanted to put the meat on the table back to its original place, but found a ball of things on the dining cart at the kitchen door.
Xie Qi didn't turn on the lights when he came to the kitchen, and all his actions were done in the dark.
He put the meat away first, turned around and saw that it was the clothes that Lina took away to wash last night.
The black shirt and suit have been ironed, and you can smell a faint fragrance when you get close.
Xie Qi was a little speechless, wondering why this little maid was so elusive, and she always did these things in places where she didn't pay attention.
Since she just came, just give him the clothes in person. Could he eat her?
Xie Qi shook his head, took his clothes and knife, and prepared to go back to his room.
When he reached the second floor, the long and narrow corridor was like the mouth of a ghost, with scarlet tonguesThe carpet on the head guides the traveler to the abyss of death.
When he stepped on it, his whole body seemed to be stained red by blood, reflecting the dim candlelight.
He casually turned the back of the knife to himself and dragged a dark mark on the carpet.
The doors on the corridor were arranged neatly, like the giant teeth of a beast, locking up its prey.
Originally, Xie Qi just wanted to pass by and go back to the house, but unexpectedly a sound kept him here.
The rich businessman lived in this door. I didn't expect that he jumped out before I went to find him.
Xie Qi approached with a knife and put his ear to the door. Unfortunately, except for the sound just now, there was silence afterwards.
With a strange premonition in his heart, Xie Qi couldn't help but touch his chin, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Could it be...
Someone intercepted his prey?
A sense of hostility rose from the bottom of his heart, and he took out a key chain from his waist, on which there were more than a dozen keys scattered.
He picked one at random and inserted it directly into the keyhole in front of him.
As soon as the door opened, the familiar smell of blood hit him.
The previous premonition became a reality. The fat rich businessman was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, looking incredulous. Next to him was a fallen chair.
The sound Xie Qi heard just now was that the back of the chair could not support his weight, and when it flipped backwards, it also brought the dead rich businessman to the ground.
There was a wound on the rich businessman's neck, and blood flowed all over his body from there, staining the ground red.
Xie Qi observed at the door for a while and uttered an ambiguous hum.
Then he walked around the rich businessman step by step and observed.
[Oh my God! I didn't expect that there was a murderer hiding in this villa besides the chef? ]
[He killed the fat man before the chef. The chef failed for the first time~ (watching the show)]
[Look at the way he wiped the neck, it doesn't look like a novice. It seems that the chef has an opponent. 】
【The chef is still pretending to be calm, but he is actually panicking, right? (dog head)】
Just as the barrage thought, Xie Qi was also thinking that the person who stole his prey did not seem to be impulsive, but was very skillful and had a very accurate timing. If he was a step later, he would have been hit by him.
As for panic?
Xie Qi grinned, his eyes deepened, like a bottomless cold pond.
He is so naughty, he actually dared to steal my prey...
Are you ready to compensate me?
My lamb?
(My lamb)
