“W-we thought you were possessed! After all, you didn’t respond to us no matter how much we called out to you! You scared us half to death, you know?” replied the stunned Rey.
Choosing to ignore Rey’s statement, Gerald then hopped off the bed before saying, “Regardless, I’ve just discovered something important!”
Immediately drawing everyone’s attention in the room, Harold then quickly walked over before asking, “What exactly have you discovered?”
Pointing at the handprints on the ceiling, Gerald then replied, “There’s something wrong with those black handprints!”
Confused, Harold then asked, “…I’m not quite sure if I follow…”
“Think about it. Why would a killer leave such obvious handprints after doing the deed?” replied Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Harold found himself frowning. After thinking for a while, favonovel.com then replied, “…Are you saying that the killer is trying to mislead us?”
Nodding in response, Gerald then replied, “Bingo. Regardless, bring Lord Van Tage in for questioning. I have a sneaking suspicion that Fay’s death is related to him!”
Not even questioning any further, Harold then turned to look at his subordinates before ordering, “Send some of our men out to bring Lord Van Tage in for questioning right this instant!”
Watching as Harold’s subordinates ran off to do as they were instructed, Rey then inched closer to Gerald before saying, “…Don’t you feel that all this is simply too bizarre, brother Gerald…?”
“It is. After all, I believe that instead of humans, ghosts are the true perpetrators of this crime! I’m actually telling them to bring Lord Van Tage back to the office to protect him!” whispered Gerald in response.
After hearing that, Rey finally saw the bigger picture.
Since nothing else could be done here at the moment, Gerald then said, “Alright, let’s head back to the Great Council building for now!”
With that, everyone did as Gerald told…
On their way back to the building, however, Harold’s phone began ringing.
Answering the call with his other hand, Harold then said, “Yes?”
“Bad news, sir! Lord Van Tage is dead…!” replied his subordinate.
Upon hearing that, the screeching of tires could instantly be heard as Harold slammed on the brakes.
“What? Dead?!” exclaimed the shocked Harold.
From Harold’s reaction alone, Gerald could already tell that they were too late.
“So… I’m assuming that the dead man is Lord Van Tage?” said Gerald with a sigh just as Harold was turning to look at him.
Surprised that Gerald could read his mind, Harold quickly snapped out of it before nodding.
“I see… Then let’s head to the crime scene immediately!” declared Gerald.
