Karl had grown accustomed to living on the estate and even began to enjoy it, especially today, when the first rays of the morning sun shone through the study in the Windows of Weston Manor. The manor was very quiet in the morning light, but Karl 's heart was filled with excitement and anxiety. The mysterious letter he found last night made him realize that there might be deeper secrets in the case. The recipient was unsigned, but apparently someone knew some of the Weston secrets and was willing to help.
After breakfast, Karl hurried the milk, ate a few sandwiches, and found Arthur. Arthur was reading through a pile of documents in his study, looking grave, apparently worried about something. Karl walked into the room and sat opposite Arthur, looking intently at him. Karl proposed to go for a walk and bathe in the sunny sun, helping his health.
The two men walked side by side on the trail of the manor house. With the dew, Karl walked very carefully.
"Mr.Arthur," Karl , who led the rules, was mild and firm, " yesterday discovered new clues that may have been related to the death of old Weston. And I did not specifically ask, I hope you can offer some help, especially about the old Weston situation."
Arthur turned his head, with a flash of exhaustion and confusion: " What I can tell you is that my father seemed to be very mysterious before he died. He often stayed alone in the study, in the library, and even several times I saw him secretly take out some old documents and articles, secretly sad."
"Is there anything special about these old documents and items?"Karl asked.
Arthur was silent for a moment, then he slowly replied, " I didn't see it clearly, but I remember once he looked through the documents in the middle of the night and looked very nervous. I thought he was just something old, but now it looks be more than that."
Karl nodded and continued, " Do you know if old Weston ever discussed with the family members his new will or his plans for the family?"
Arthur frowned. " He hardly mentioned these things. My father had always been a very conservative man, and he preferred to keep things there."
Karl stopped talking, he was thinking what it meant. And at this point, at the end of the road came Lady Madeleine, and Karl greeted her from a distance. Lady Madeleine nodded, and then squatted down to look after the plants.
"She just likes to flip down the unknown plants."Arthur added.
Karl finds Alice in the garden in the afternoon. She was sitting on a garden bench painting, the sun shining on her, looking very warm. However, her expression was worried.
Karl sat down beside her and said softly, " Miss Alice, I need to know more about old Weston, especially about the tests mentioned in his will. Can you tell me if you know exactly what the old Weston test is?"
A flash of surprise and uneasiness flashed in Alice's eyes: " I don't know exactly about the test. The old Weston once mentioned that he wished to test the sense of responsibility and wisdom of each of us, but he never specified the specific form of these tests."
Karl continued, " Have you noticed any unusual behavior about Old Weston recently? For example, has there ever been a special meeting or an arrangement?"
Alice's brow frowned: " Old Weston has really become a little weird lately. He often goes out alone at night, and sometimes he receives some mysterious phone calls. I had seen him take several phone calls in his study, and the conversation was also very secret. He was so unusual that I once saw him stop and wipe his tears before a family portrait."
"Why?"Cal asked.
"Maybe he heard that Charlie went bankrupt and had a huge gambling debt!"Alice stopped her paintbrush and said earnestly.
"Did he ever mention it or ever said anything?"Karl led him step by step.
"Maybe there are some hidden secrets in those family portraits, and that's all I can tell."
This finding goes beyond Karl 's perception. He silently recorded these trivial details.
Karl decides to visit Charlie. Charlie was busy in the stable of the estate, arranging the harness and equipment. His expression seemed relaxed and comfortable, as if unrelated to the tension of the family. Karl went into the stable, watched Charlie's behavior, then asked, " Mr.Charlie, I want to know something about old Weston, especially before his death. Can you offer some help?"
Charlie glanced at Karl and put down his tools. " Father has been really strange lately. He has become very mysterious and has often locked himself in his study. I also tried to talk to him, but he always avoided my questions."
"Did you find any connection between old Weston and the outside world?"Karl asked.
Charlie thought about it and said, " I remember old Weston had a lot of contact with the outside world for some time, especially with some unknown people, including a private investigator. He sometimes receives some strange packages and letters."
Finally, Karl came to Lady Madeleine. She was sitting in the library of the manor house, looking down through an old book. A pile of books was scattered on the desk. Seeing Mr.Karl 's arrival, Lady Madeleine looked very tired, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, and she packed up her books and motioned for Karl to sit down.
As Karl sat gently across from her, Lady Madeleine explained that she wanted to be quiet, to consider what her husband was doing in the last period, and to find some clues. Karl expressed his grief and asked, " Madame, I want to know something about old Weston, especially his unusual behavior before his death. Can you tell me what special behavior the old Weston has done lately?"
Lady Madeleine looked up, her eyes full of anxiety: " Old Weston has indeed very strange. Before he died, he was always alone in his study, not even going out at night. He seemed to be anxious and often writes."
"Is there anything special in any of these things?"asked Karl .
Mrs.Madeleine sighed. " I didn't see what he wrote, but I knew he tried to discuss with me about the family. He seems to be very concerned about the future of the family. But these are already mentioned in your letters."
Today's day was a lot, and Karl went back to his study and put together the information he got from family members. He found a common ground that old Weston's behavior became unusually mysterious, frequent associated with the outside world, especially for some time before his death. Every family member has mentioned his recent bizarre behavior, but the details are not clear.
Karl decided to investigate further the people old Weston had recently contacted. He looked up the old Weston's phone records and letters, and found several strange contacts. One of these contacts, named "Larry Gold", frequently appeared in Weston, the record, the housekeeper impressed the person, but mysterious, did not particularly care about what work, each time directly to the owner's study or letter directly submitted to the owner.
After his lunch break, Karl had a splitting headache, simply asked his family doctor for pills, rested for a little half an hour, and went to the town near Weston Manor to look for Larry Gold. The name of Larry Gold, the man who is a private detective known for solving a variety of complex cases. Karl finds a small detective office and asks forward desk about Larry Gold.
The receptionist at the front desk told Karl that Larry Gold had left town, but he left his contact information. Karl quickly called Larry Gold and arranged an interview.
The evening interview was held in a quiet cafe. Larry Gold was a burly, middle-aged man, with a sharp look in his eyes. He was somewhat surprised at Karl 's arrival, after all, Karl is already a very well-known contemporary detective, he received him warmly, but soon recovered calm.
After pleasantries, Larry first got to the point: "Mr.Karl , I heard you are investigating the case of old Weston." Larry Gold, not going to beat around the bush, chose to go straight. " I recently left town and was commissioned by old Weston. What do you want to know something about it?"
Karl asked directly, " I found that old Weston has been in frequent contact with you. Can you tell me what you discussed? Is there a clue that has led to his death?"
Larry Gold's face became grave: " Old Weston did come to me. He was very worried about the future of the family. He mentioned something about family secrets and asked me to investigate. But the result was also very shocking, and I also truthfully submitted it to the old Weston. As for the content, I can only mention it briefly, and he hoped that I could investigate some family issues, well, something between men and women. You know."
A glimmer of alarm flashed in Karl 's heart. At last he saw a glimmer of light in the endless night, and heard some secrets directly, and it seemed that the death of old Weston might be closely related to the hidden secrets within the family. Old Weston's various actions before his death and his contact with Larry Gold suggest that the complexity of the case was beyond his expectations.
Fortunately, Karl 's headache has eased a lot. Although he had been out for half a day, and had gained a lot, he even predicted that he would find the killer within three days and complete the investigation. He sat in the study, recalling every word of Larry, pondering every detail of the case. He knew that the death of Old Weston was not just a simple murder, but a complex mystery involving the relationships, secrets and motives of the family members.
The next investigation will focus on uncovering hidden secrets within the family. He needed to find all the clues from old Weston, to find out, to visit more people, and to visit anyone who could solve these mysteries. In any case, Karl firmly believes that the truth lies in these intricate clues and clues, awaiting to be revealed.
