The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 753 - 751 Mother and Daughter
[Chapter 3: The Sinister Heart]
Facing the fierce argument between her fiancé, Calvin, and the police officer, Sebastian, at the conference table,
"Mom, who should we support?"
Sharon, the second daughter, asked her nanny through telepathy. In fact, they had already recognized each other’s identities the night before.
The nanny, Ima, corresponded to Lia Roman—second only to Fish Origin and from the Deep Sea, the [Ancestor Primordial Body-Octopus]—and the second daughter was one of her daughters.
Everyone in this performance had their own targets of enmity in their scripts, and the blizzard corresponding to [Night] was the best opportunity for them to act.
Once night fell, there would certainly be a casualty.
However, the nanny did not carry out any subjective killing the night before. In her opinion, it was better to recognize her daughter first. If the situation worsened, they could form a majority against a minority.
It’s a pity that of the two daughters participating in the performance, only one had been found; the other one, who was supposed to play the electrician, had already been killed.
"Based on the plot, currently, fiancé Calvin has the upper hand in the debate... Moreover, he is also half a member of the family.
On the contrary, this police officer is completely an outsider, just superficially on good terms with the master."
"Mom~ but from the perspective of the danger level, that police officer seems to have the upper hand."
"The three of us versus one of him, could there still be any variables? Besides, we don’t necessarily have to kill him, we just need to pin the crime on him and restrict his behavior.
If he dares to make trouble, his ’Danger Level’ will rise, and danger will befall him.
Once we restrict this man, we can slowly take care of the others."
Ima, the nanny, stood up to interrupt their argument and gave her opinion to indicate her stance. "Oh! I just remembered something. Last night, Sharon couldn’t sleep because of the fear of the blizzard, and I saw the officer coming up the stairs on our way back to the room.
And when I bumped into Jennifer, it was already more than ten minutes ago.
If Officer Sir, you went downstairs earlier than Jennifer~ why did it take you so long to come up?
And you’re right, Calvin Sir, coming up the mountain in the big snow to notify us is indeed suspicious. More importantly, the electrician’s death is also directly related to you.
We do not trust you right now,
For safety, we hope Officer Sir will put on this and follow us to a storeroom, where we will wait until the snow stops and then call your colleagues over to investigate.
As for the missing Jennifer, we will search for her ourselves."
Saying this, the nanny produced from nowhere a wet hemp rope. At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but a closer look would reveal that at the core of the rope was a special octopus tentacle, covered with ancient seaweed.
Once bound, the suckers would attach perfectly to the skin and endlessly suck the captive’s blood and flesh as well as energy. Such an object was commonly used to bind those who dared to offend the Arc Sea’s Silver Circle patients.
The police officer immediately noticed the uniqueness of the hemp rope. "Are you planning to imprison a local police officer?"
The nanny responded with a smile, "We are restricting the movement of a suspect to prevent more casualties! If Officer Sebastian feels his personal freedom has been invaded, he can sue us afterward."
The officer moved his hands on top of the table, speaking with a sinister look, "Does this mean there’s no room for discussion?"
"Correct. We hope Officer Sir cooperates, especially since there are three of us here. Plus, if you undertake any dangerous behavior, you might receive divine retribution."
"Divine retribution?"
The officer flicked his cigarette butt away and then took a long breath out, a very evil aura being exhaled along with it.
Huh...
All three on site tensed up, ready for battle.
The officer stood up, his face expressionless as he stepped closer to the nanny. During this approach, the nanny’s performer, Lia Roman, even got nervous, sweating at her temples.
Tentacles were already squirming beneath the skin, ready for combat.
Unexpectedly,
when the officer reached her, he extended his hands voluntarily.
"Since everyone suspects it’s me, there’s nothing I can do! Tie me up then, and find a sealed room to lock me in. I hope no one else dies after this."
Seeing this, the nanny promptly tied him up with the rope.
Sshh! The hidden suckers immediately attached themselves to the officer’s arms, starting to suck his blood and flesh, suppressing the illness. The nanny was also certain that her prisoner was restrained, and she felt much more at ease.
Then she led the officer to a four-walled windowless storeroom, set up the sealing, and imprisoned him there.
Fiancé Calvin followed the entire process, and when the storeroom door closed, he even waved goodbye to the officer inside.
Click~ the door locked.
As the nanny removed her palm, one could faintly see beads of water continuously emerging on the surface of the door. Even within, droplet-shaped eyes would appear, constantly observing the police officer’s condition.
"Mr. Calvin, shall we search for the young lady together now? I’ve lived in the mansion for several decades, I know every corner here very well.
I’ll handle the indoor search with Sharon,
"Could you please go outside and have a look? It’s entirely possible that the young miss has been killed and her body dumped in a snowdrift."
"Of course, I am Kelvin, not Kelvin, I hope Aunt Ima won’t get it wrong next time."
They decided to split up and search.
After a full day of searching, they still had not found the oldest daughter, Jennifer. As for the master’s body in the study, given that the police would investigate later, they did not tamper with the crime scene.
Late at night.
Catherine, disguised as the fiancé, walked with silent steps, using the darkness to conceal herself, and arrived at the storeroom where the policeman was,
By coincidence, a ’mother and daughter’ pair emerged from the darkness, the smirking nanny and the second daughter,
With nightfall, people revealed their true natures.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Kel... Kelvin~"
"Yes~ The thought of a murderer staying in the mansion, even though he’s tied up with hemp rope, still keeps me awake."
The nanny quickly agreed, "Exactly, my second miss can’t sleep because she’s so scared! How about we execute this murderer tonight?"
"Great! That’s exactly what I was thinking!"
In the darkness, the three of them raised their sinister smiles,
Creak!
The door was pushed open,
With a playful smirk, fiancé Kelvin stepped into the room, "Mr. Policeman, we’ve come to visit you!"
But the next second, his expression froze instantly.
Not only him, but the mother and daughter following him also stopped in shock, hardly believing what they were seeing.
Policeman Sebastian lay in a pool of blood, with a gun in his mouth, the back of his head blown open, and his brain matter splattered all over the walls behind him.
"What happened!"
Kelvin immediately went up to check, not expecting that the policeman was indeed dead, with not a trace of life left! It was certain that it was neither a staged death nor any kind of feigned death trick.
Kelvin’s impersonator was actually Catherine,
She had also deduced early on that the policeman was probably her current boss, Art.
Last night, after Catherine, posing as the fiancé, killed an electrician played by a member of the Deep Sea sisterhood at the art collection, she accidentally encountered the policeman who came to her. She quickly climbed out of the art room and, taking the initiative, pretended to be looking for her fiancée and appeared at the entrance of the art collection, just as the policeman was touching the body, and accused him in turn.
Today she thought she could temporarily join forces with her mother to get rid of the troublesome Art,
Who knew that things would turn out like this.
"Did the boss choose to give up and deliberately commit suicide to leave this performance because he was at a disadvantage?
Impossible, Art is not that kind of person, I tricked him last night, and with his vindictive nature, he would definitely seek revenge! Moreover, before joining this performance, he even had a conflict with Mr. Yi and would have seized this opportunity to settle scores.
But what’s the deal with the body before me? According to the rules, once a character is confirmed dead, the actor must also leave the stage.
What kind of method did the boss use?"
While Catherine bit her nails incessantly, even biting until blood dripped continuously,
Lia Roman, playing the nanny, was very happy,
In her view, the policeman took his own life after realizing the situation, choosing to exit the performance.
During the appropriate period, she picked up a kitchen knife that had been prepared earlier and chopped the body into finger-sized pieces, then had the mansion’s maids process it in batches, either flushing it down the drain, burning it in the kitchen, or simply throwing it into the outside snowstorm.
That way, there was no chance of the body coming back to life.
This big problem was solved effortlessly. Nanny Ima immediately moved her plan forward, holding the hand of the second daughter, Sharon, while looking at the fiancé Kelvin.
She also passed him a handgun,
"Mr. Kelvin... actually, it should have been you who killed the electrician, right~ The second miss privately told me she saw someone crawling on the outer wall the first night, and you fit the description best.
How about you also commit suicide as an apology?"
Pop pop~ Two successive gunshots
The nanny and the second daughter were shot in the head and fell heavily to the ground.
With an ugly expression, Kelvin said, "I’ve said it before, my name is Kelvin~ You and your daughter really are dense, obviously there’s trickery with this death and yet you couldn’t wait to make a move on me..."
Hiss hiss hiss~ Tentacles sprang from the bullet holes in their heads, 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
The nanny and the second daughter suddenly stood up, looking ominously at the fiancé Kelvin, "You can go to die now!"
