Chapter 176 Mermaid's Hymn(1/2)
The decoration and furnishings in the room are very luxurious, the carpet is wool and very soft.
Half of the foot I stepped on was sunk.
Near the balcony, there is an easel that attracts Martin's attention.
There are still a lot of paint on the windowsill next to the easel.
On the canvas, there is a finished oil painting.
What I painted is the sea outside the window.
It was just night, under the ocean under the hazy moonlight.
Martin doesn't know much about oil painting, and doesn't know what color and composition are. He can only tell that the painting is pretty good and fits the eyes.
Oil painting reminds Martin of a person - Viscount Kent Samuel.
While guessing whether there will be any correlation between the two, the anatomy on the side has results.
This result also confirms some of Martin's speculations.
Veronica's heart is gone!
"The wounds of these blood vessels are very rough, as if they were torn apart."
Pointing at the cut-out chest cavity, the guards explained to Martin and the others.
The picture immediately appeared in Martin's mind...
One hand reached into the corpse's mouth, penetrated the esophagus, grabbed the heart, and pulled it out forcibly...
This scene made Martin feel a little uncomfortable.
However, it was very likely that such a bloody scene at that time.
Just as the three of them were thinking about the picture under the explanation of the forensic doctor, a conversation came from outside, and it seemed that someone had entered.
"…This is my house, why can't I come in?"
Accompanied by the voice of words, Roger, the count's son, appeared at the door of the living room.
He looked very young, but Martin knew he was just well maintained and was almost forty years old.
I have to say that this romantic and elegant Roger, not to mention that he is the son of the earl, just his handsome appearance, he has the capital to be romantic.
The guards wanted to stop him, but failed to stop him.
After seeing the woman who was broken on the coffee table in the living room and recognizing the body, Roger's face changed drastically.
"Veronica! My Veronica! Why did you kill her?!"
Shouting in grief, Roger rushed to the side of the coffee table that was temporarily used as an anatomy table.
He wanted to hug her, but his chest was cut open, making him unable to start. After a few seconds, he could only hold Veronica's face.
The cold, rancid smell and bloody smell were mixed, and the playboy felt a strong discomfort.
After retching twice, Roger, who had a red face, stood up and looked at the guards next to him with a hostile gaze.
"Mr. Roger, please don't get me wrong. We are the staff of Shijiang Hall and are here to investigate Veronica's death."
Martin spoke with a calm tone and kindness.
He wants to make sure that Roger is not hostile or resistant to him, otherwise he may be rejected if he asks a question later.
At the same time, Kassan was silently observing the man's reaction.
Roger also realized that everyone here was wearing uniforms and was unlikely to be the murderer.
Especially Martin and the others, there is also the emblem of the temple on the windbreaker.
After a while of silence, Roger spoke again, his voice low and asked with a little sob: "How did she die?"
Roger's eyes were red and there was still tears.
Martin and Cassan glanced at each other.
Kassan shook her head slightly.
It means that Roger shows sadness and shock, unlike fake.
However, this is just a speculation based on expressions and expressions, and it is not ruled out that this suave Mr. Roger is a master of performance.
"Veronica's throat was cut directly with a sharp weapon. Do you know who the murderer is?"
[Question] Mobilize, Martin waits for his answer.
"I don't know...wait, you won't doubt me, right?"
Roger found that the eyes of several people were on him, and his tone rose, and he asked angrily.
Martin has already received the feedback he wants.
As he expected, Roger was not the murderer.
Of course, to be more rigorous, he doesn't know who the murderer is.
It is also possible that he hired a murderer, but he just didn't know who he was hiring.
"Of course not, how could we doubt Mr. Roger? Do you know if Veronica has any enemies?"
Martin said with a righteous look on his face.
Hearing Martin's question, Roger hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't know, Veronica doesn't like to tell me about her."
Martin nodded, but felt a little confused.
Because on this issue, Roger lied.
Why don't you disclose the suspect's information?
Covering up? Fear of revenge? Or is there another hidden truth?
A series of thoughts flashed through Martin's mind.
"Why do you... treat her body like this?"
Roger looked at the chest of the corpse, and his sadness seemed uncontrollable, so he asked after sucking his nose.
"The murderer took her heart. Do you know why the murderer did this?" Martin continued.
Roger shook his head again.
...
Half an hour later, after cooperating with Martin to answer a series of questions, Roger left the villa and cried sadly before leaving.
At the same time, I also cleared my suspicion without realizing it.
He wanted to take Veronica's body away and bury him.
But the investigation had just begun, and this request was rejected by Martin.
However, Martin promised to notify him as soon as there was a clue and to properly deal with Veronica's body.
"Roger should really have nothing to do with Veronica's death." Martin made the final judgment.
Kassan also nodded and said, "He is indeed very sad, but it is not as deep as he shows, with some manifestation. He is more surprised by Veronica's death."
It seems that Mr. Roger is not very concerned about Veronica!
That's right, if I were so dedicated, I wouldn't be a playboy.
According to him, he met Veronica at the beginning of this year, but he still doesn't know her age.
Even with Veronica's extraordinary identity, there is only a vague guess.
Standing by the window, Martin and Cassan communicated and analyzed Roger's performance and information he provided.
Doriani was preparing to perform divination.
The dissection continues.
"Why do you think these two people are together? Roger is greedy for Veronica's beauty, so... what about Veronica? What is she trying to do?" Martin frowned and said suddenly.
"Do you suspect... Veronica has a problem?" Casan asked in confusion.
Martin was also a little confused.
After all, a woman's heart is under the sea.
Perhaps Veronica is attracted to Roger's identity and appearance.
Besides, she is also a woman in her thirties and has physiological needs.
Of course, Martin just had some doubts and had no substantial evidence.
However, he always believed that women might understand women better, and Ms. Kassan had insight beyond ordinary people, so her opinions were also valuable.
"Do you think such a person is close to Roger because of true love?" Martin asked again.
"I can't say that love sometimes has no reason to say." Kasan frowned slightly, shook her head and replied.
To be continued...
