Chapter 26 Werewolf Killing
"Colonel, you drive a very expensive car. For your salary, I'm afraid..." The butler looked at the colonel again, but was interrupted by the colonel before he could finish speaking.
"You don't need to tell me anymore. I gained money in the war, but I also lost my parents because of it." The colonel seemed unwilling to let the steward say more and made him tell all his shameful secrets, so he took the initiative to confess.
Profiting from war and losing both parents was the best retribution for the colonel. Countless people lost loved ones and families were torn apart during the war.
Seeing the colonel's frankness, the butler didn't want to reopen old wounds and turned to look at Mrs. White.
Please welcome the next victim!
"Mrs. White has been paying money to the people who are blackmailing you ever since your husband died, well, he died in some mysterious circumstances."
Hahaha!
Scarlett suddenly laughed, attracting the attention of the others.
"Why are you laughing?" Mrs. White asked Scarlett, puzzled.
“I see, no wonder he was lying in the coffin.” Scarlett’s words were puzzling.
“I didn’t kill him,” Mrs. White said immediately.
"Then how did he die?" Li Qing asked.
“He died at home. His head was cut off, and his… you know.” Mrs. White looked at the men present as she said the last sentence, pointing downwards.
Several men present, including Li Qing, felt a chill in their groin and quickly crossed their legs in unison.
What a ruthless woman! Dressed all in black, you should be called the Black Widow!
Cough!
At this moment, Mr. Green, who had been sitting, stood up, and his secret was the only one left that had not been exposed.
Hmm! Except for one person!
“Everyone look to me, I’m gay.” Mr. Green took off his glasses, showing no embarrassment.
“I don’t feel ashamed or guilty, but I have to keep it a secret, otherwise I’ll lose my job.”
Li Qing didn't believe it was his secret; homosexuality wasn't a big secret. Don't you think so, Brother Jie?
Seeing that everyone's secret had been exposed, the butler continued, "Extortion requires incriminating evidence against the other party. You have all admitted why Body is extorting you, right? All you need to do is tell the police, Body will be tried, and your problem will be solved."
Li Qing was speechless. Calling the police would mean Body would be arrested for extortion, but the secrets of the six men would also be exposed. The colonel's profiteering from the war would surely be condemned. Mrs. White would be imprisoned for murdering her husband. Scarlett's prostitution business wouldn't fare much better. Mrs. Peacock's husband's bribery charges were even more serious. Mr. Green, being gay, would lose his job and suffer social death.
The housekeeper is perfectly fine. If it's not you who has the problem, then who is?
"I've already called the police, they'll be here soon!" The butler is quite decisive; he's already made a decision for the six of them.
At that moment, Bodie went outside and brought in a box.
The box was opened, revealing several black cardboard boxes tied with purple ribbons. There were six boxes, just enough to distribute to the six people who had been blackmailed.
Why isn't there a housekeeper?
Everyone opened their black cards; Scarlett's was a golden candlestick that looked quite heavy.
Mrs. White's was a noose for hanging.
Mr. Green's is a steel water pipe.
The colonel had an old wrench.
Professor Plum's weapon was a silver-white revolver.
Mrs. Peacock is a dagger.
Everyone looked at the items in their hands with a puzzled expression.
“Each of you has a deadly weapon. If you report me to the police, you will be exposed and humiliated. But if one of you kills the butler, no one but the seven of us will know.”
“That’s not right. How can there be seven people? Am I not a person? Isn’t the maid Yvette a person?” Li Qing pointed out Bodie’s mistake.
Bodhi ignored the man who had taken his chair twice.
“The butler has a key to the front door, and he said it can only be opened if he’s dead. The way to avoid making headlines is to kill the butler.” He then walked to the light switch.
"Let's get started!" They pressed the switch simultaneously.
pat!
The room went dark.
pat!
The room lights came on again.
Bodie stood next to the switch, completely bewildered.
???
He only pressed it once, so why did it make two sounds and the light turn on again?
Thinking about it, I pressed the switch again.
pat!
pat!
Two more sounds rang out, and the lights went off and then came back on.
Press it again.
pat!
pat!
This repeated itself, and the originally serious atmosphere became strange.
Everyone, including the butler, looked at Bodie's actions with confusion. What was he doing?
Should we take action or not?
Are you kidding us?
"What are you doing, Bodhi?" That's what the colonel said.
"I don't know! The switch seems to be broken." Bodie looked completely innocent.
Professor Plum, holding a revolver, was also completely bewildered. Coming to his senses, he quickly withdrew the gun from Body, hoping he hadn't been discovered.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Bodie's strange behavior, except for Li Qing, who naturally noticed it.
Watching Plum's actions, Li Qing thought to himself: "Trying to play dirty tricks, like Werewolf, huh? If anyone's going to kill Bodie, it'll be me. If you kill him, and he's the target, what am I supposed to do? Playing Werewolf now needs to be lively; let them suspect each other first."
pat!
The light went out again, and this time it didn't come back on.
Bang!
There was a gunshot.
Bang!
There was another gunshot.
A flash of light appeared in the darkness, followed by a thud as someone was shot and fell to the ground.
"what!"
"Someone got shot!"
"Ah! Who fired the shot!"
"I do not know!"
Who has a gun?
"Who touched my chest? Oh! They even pinched it."
"really not bad!"
"I want to touch it too!"
"Are you touching your mother?!"
"Professor Plum! Professor Plum has a gun!"
"I didn't fire the gun, don't talk nonsense!"
"Turn on the light!"
The study was in complete disarray, with the constant sound of shoes stomping on the floor and objects hitting the ground.
A moment later, the lights came on.
Mrs. Peacock was standing by the light switch; it was Mrs. Peacock who turned on the light.
When the lights were turned on, everyone was no longer in their original positions, and their belongings, including the revolver, were lying on the ground.
Scarlett stood next to Li Qing, and a red, swollen mark could be seen on her chest, which was particularly noticeable against her milky white breasts, clearly indicating that she had been pinched quite hard.
Scarlett reached out and rubbed the red and swollen area.
You can even see a different color.
At Mrs. Peacock's feet, Bodie lay sprawled on the ground, motionless, and appeared to be dead.
Professor Plum, a former doctor, ran to the body, knelt down to examine it, and soon said, "He's dead."
The colonel walked over, squatted down, and turned Boddy's body over. He saw that Boddy's chest was red and blood was dripping from it, and the ground was covered in blood.
“It must have been Professor Plum. He had a gun. If it wasn’t him, then who was it?” Mrs. Peacock said, pointing at Professor Plum.
"It wasn't me! It really wasn't me. Someone took advantage of the darkness and snatched my gun. I really didn't fire it!" Professor Plum quickly explained.
