Gaude's death was definitely not something an ordinary human could easily achieve. Moreover, he had spoken with Lu Ban and the others just a few hours earlier—meaning that he was murdered after he left the dining room and returned to his room, and had even found time to take a bath in between.
"We need to confirm the alibis. As for the locked room... in such circumstances, a locked room won't keep a monster out."
Mr. Stone said this as he heard hurried footsteps coming from the hallway.
"This..."
The old butler and the maid rushed over, and upon seeing Gaude's corpse, the silver-haired butler with the monocle seemed momentarily out of breath.
The maid was even more affected. She fainted on the spot before she could let out a scream, collapsing onto the floor with a thud, unconscious.
"We have to protect the crime scene first."
Mr. Stone said, as he glanced at the body.
"A serious murder has occurred here. Call the police immediately."
