Chapter 832: DEDUCTION (II)

Chapter 832: DEDUCTION (II)

EDWARD’S eyes widened when his deceased wife was suddenly mentioned. And it was still under the premise that Catherine killed her. Before he could say anything, his son, Harry, was one beat faster.

The other stood up and said, “Why the bloody hell would Aunt Cathy kill my mother?”

Luo Yan turned to the young man. The other looked like he would explode any second from all the information that Luo Yan just dished out. Poor kid.

“Show us evidence! Don’t just present these things as if they were the truth! How can you call yourself a detective in this way?” Harry added.

Luo Yan almost laughed. Because the other had a point. He was really just saying these things without any evidence to back it up. Instead of deduction, it was more like he was telling a story. But what could he do? He had the ‘detective talent’. So, he was certain that the conjecture he arrived upon was the one closest to the truth.

Of course, this damn game wouldn’t tell him directly that his final conjecture was the right one. The game devs wouldn’t be so kind. Thankfully, his IQ was enough to piece everything together into a coherent conclusion. Thus, presenting the truth to everyone. Although he was indeed a phony detective, none of what he said was a lie.

Before Luo Yan could respond to what Harry said, Edward already scolded his son.

“Sit down. Now.”

Harry obviously was very unwilling. But at the end, he still sat down and looked as if the whole world owed him something.

Edward turned to Luo Yan, his expression very grave. “Explain. What do you mean by Catherine killing Elizabeth?”

“To answer that, let’s all go back to that night 20 years ago, when the original Magnolia Manor burnt down,” Luo Yan said in a mysterious voice to add more drama to his performance. “On that night, your family returned to the manor because of the news you received about your father’s will. Catherine and Richard were already there. After you had dinner, you all decided to rest. But what you didn’t know was that Charles was on his way back to the manor.”

Everyone turned to Charles as if on cue. It’s actually quite funny seeing it. Imagine a group of people turning to one direction at the same time. It’s like a rehearsed scene from a movie or something.

“When Charles arrived at the manor, it just so happened that the bombs planted in some of the rooms went off and exploded. If he arrived just a little bit earlier, he would have exploded along with the manor and died. And that was indeed the plan. But Saunders purposely arrived late by faking a car break down. He probably had an attack of conscience that night and he couldn’t bear a young boy to die.

“You’re now probably wondering how would Saunders know that something like an explosion would happen that night. The answer was simple, really. It’s because he’s the one who planted the bombs. That day, he became Catherine’s accomplice. Saunders was a greedy man who would do anything for money. She paid him off to do that dirty job. But he was not the only accomplice Catherine had that day. Elizabeth was the other.”

Edward and Harry’s expression was full of disbelief. Some others were also shocked.

“I- I don’t understand. Why would Elizabeth do that?” Edward asked.

“Because of her gambling debt. When the news about the change in the will was released, Catherine most likely talked to Elizabeth to convince her to join in on her plan. It’s not that hard to do. Because if that will was carried on, then she would lose her source of income. Money could make people do things they thought they’re incapable of doing.

“You may ask how I could be so sure that Elizabeth indeed partnered up with Catherine. We should go back to what happened to Charles after he was thrown off from that explosion. Before he lost consciousness, he heard two people talking. I’m pretty sure it was Catherine and Elizabeth.

“If it were them, then it could explain a lot of the end of Elizabeth. It was said that she suffered from heart attack. But I don’t think so. On the day that she died, a veiled woman was seen visiting her. If that woman was Catherine, then she could have poisoned Elizabeth. And then, Doctor Blake changed the caused of death to heart attack.

“It’s easy to think of the reason why Catherine would do that. When Elizabeth died three years ago, it was before everyone went to the Americas to meet your father. For reason unknown, she was probably planning to confess everything to everyone. Preferably in front of her father-in-law. Of course, Catherine would stop it.”

“T-that woman- she- she really killed Mother?” Harry muttered, the expression on his face was all twisted. Probably because he couldn’t control the emotions surging inside him.

Edward and the rest were silent, probably waiting for Luo Yan to continue. He had to indulge them, of course.

“Now that part of the truth of what happened 20 years ago was cleared, let’s move on to the next. The real target of that ploy. There were two, maybe three if you considered Catherine as a monster. Two of those three died and one survived.” Luo Yan looked at one of the people in the room. “It’s you, master Charles.”

Charles was silent for a moment before he scoffed. “I guess that bitch really hated me to the bone.”

“Who are the other two targets?” ‘Sofia’ asked.

Luo Yan turned to ‘Sofia’. The other had a curious expression on ‘her’ face. But the expression was a bit forceful that he could see that ‘she’ wasn’t really curious. ‘She’ probably just asked that to be part of the conversation. Because it’s part of ‘her’ – Sofia’s character.

He smiled inwardly. How cute.

“The other two targets, it’s William Harcourt and his grandson – Sean.”
