"Dad Let's go back." Said Eric.
Richard looked up at the closed door of the morgue with difficulty and nodded, "Yes."
Angela nodded in agreement. She had no choice but to go back. Even if she stayed in the hospital, it
was useless.
After they reached an agreement, Richard calmed down, took a deep breath, calmed himself down and
prepared to leave.
Eric turned to look at Simon and Frank and said in a kind tone, "Let's go back."
They didn't react much. They stared blankly at the cold door of the morgue, especially Simon, who
stood still as if he had lost his soul.
After saying that, Eric ignored them and turned to look at Jarvis, who had come with them before.
"Jarvis, go back with us."
"Okay." Jarvis nodded with a serious look on his face.
So the four of them turned around and left first.
Until their backs disappeared at the end of the corridor of the morgue, Simon didn't have any reaction,
but Frank reacted. Seeing that there were only the two of them at the moment, he suddenly felt that the
surroundings became gloomy, and the cold wind was blowing, which was really frightening.
Subconsciously, Frank reached out to touch him and whispered, "Dad, let's go back. It's scary here."
However, Simon didn't react at all, as if he were a sculpture. Of course, if he didn't breathe or his chest
fluctuated, he could really be regarded as a crayon.
Seeing this, Frank was a little anxious. The longer he stayed here, the more afraid he felt. After all,
there were many corpses in the morgue, and he didn't know how many of them were there. This place
was very gloomy!
This time, he directly pulled Simon's arm and shook it hard. "Dad, what are you doing? It's time for us
to go back. They're all gone!"
"They all left?" Simon finally reacted. He turned around and looked at Frank absent mindedly, "Did they
all leave?"
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Frank was anxious. His father was normal before, at least he could cry
and walk, and his reaction was not so slow. But now he seemed to have changed into another person.
"Are you hurt by grandpa's death?" He spoke out his guess.
Simon calmed down and pulled all his thoughts back, but his face was a little pale. "Let's go. It's time
for us to go back. Go back and prepare for grandpa's funeral."
Seeing that his father had returned to normal, Frank nodded.
When the four people came out, they were lucky that the driver arranged by Noble didn't drive away,
but waited there.
It must be the order of Noble. He couldn't leave when they needed.
So they took this car back to the Gu mansion.
After entering the yard, the whole house was quiet, even the occasional bird cry was gone at this
moment.
Although there were only a few servants in the Gu family, they could at least see people walking
around. But now, they couldn't see anyone. Presumably, after knowing that Wayne had an accident,
they all left the house.
After entering the living room, Eric didn't go to bed. Instead, he turned to look at Jarvis and asked,
"Jarvis, when you found grandpa, where did he fall in the back garden?"
Jarvis didn't know how to describe his specific position, so he said, "Follow me."
Then he turned around and walked towards the back garden.
Eric followed him immediately. The most important thing in front of him was to find out what had
happened to his grandfather before he died.
Seeing this, Richard and Angela, also followed up and wanted to know more about it.
When they was about to step into the back garden, Jarvis stopped and pointed at the only two steps.
"When I saw him, he was lying motionless here."
"Okay." Eric frowned and stared at the steps. Then he looked at the neatly trimmed winter plant not far
from the front of the steps.
There was a marble polished path between the steps and the winter outing, and there were often
servants cleaning it, so under normal circumstances, there would not be soil. However, at this moment,
there was soil on it, and this soil mark was still a finger mark.
And where there was soil, it must be under the root of the winter tree. With a closer look, the end of the
soil trace happened to be under the winter tree, and it stopped at the stairs.
After a brief observation, Eric said, "Grandpa got sick beside the winter tree and fell down. He couldn't
call for help but climb over from there. His hand caught the soil under the root of the tree, so he
crawled."
As he spoke, he gestured the marks on the marble floor.
Hearing what he said, the others nodded in agreement.
But that was all he could see. After all, he was not a professional detective and didn't know what to do
next.
"And then?" Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Angela asked, waiting for him to
continue.
"I don't know." Eric shook his head, "I'm neither a police nor a detective..."
Speaking of the word "detective", Eric suddenly stopped and his eyes suddenly lit up. "I know who I
should look for."
"What?" Angela was confused and didn't know what had happened.
They all knew that Wayne's death was not a coincidence, nor was it normal. But Eric's…
Eric took out his phone and dialed a number. The phone rang for a while before it was connected.
"Hailey, I need your help." Eric went straight to the point, "This time it must be you. Now it's time to
show your true ability."
No one knew what Hailey said on the phone, but Eric continued, "Please, this is a matter of life and
death. Tell my brother, if he doesn't agree, I don't mind taking the initiative to solve the problem by
force."
After saying that, he told Hailey the specific address of Gu's house before hanging up the phone.
Hailey was a detective. Such a simple case should be a piece of cake for her.
Yes, in Eric's view, the case of his grandfather was really not complicated now, but he did not know how
to investigate the details.
Putting away the phone, Eric turned to the three people behind him, "I don't want anyone else to know
that I have found out the real cause of grandfather's death."
Richard and Angela were his parents, so he trusted them. But Jarvis… Although he was a family doctor
of Gu family for more than ten years and was nice, he was still an outsider, so he didn't trust him much.
So he said it to him.
Jarvis was not stupid. He knew what he meant, so he nodded.
"Let's go inside." After saying that, Eric turned around and walked into the hall. After a few steps, he
stopped and turned to Angela, "Mom, don't let anyone clean up here. This is the scene of the crime.
Hailey said that we should protect the scene."
Angela didn't know what to say, "Okay."
After entering the hall, Eric directly turned around and walked towards the stairs. Now he was going to
Wayne's room.
On the second floor, he went to the door of Wayne's room. Instead of entering, Eric pushed the door
open and looked inside.
Looking at the familiar environment and setting inside, he could not help but blush his eyes. Before
leaving this morning, Grandpa stood in front of himself. But in a few hours, people said it was gone.
Taking a deep breath, Eric suppressed his emotions and closed the door. At the same time, he locked
the door and took the key away.
Just now, Hailey said on the phone that he should protect all the places where the dead had appeared,
and he should also make sure that the original items inside could not move.
As soon as he closed the door and went downstairs, he saw Simon and Frank coming in.
Eric frowned imperceptibly, and a touch of displeasure rose unconsciously when he saw them.
He didn't want to talk to them at first, but when he thought that Hailey would come later, he had to say,
"I think you are very tired today. Go upstairs and have a rest. After you recover, we will discuss how to
deal with grandfather's funeral."
Simon raised his head and glanced at him, but his eyes were still a little unfocused. Then he turned
around and went upstairs.
Of course, Frank wouldn't stay in the living room, so he followed him upstairs.
The father and son walked one after the other. Halfway through, Simon suddenly turned his head and
said to Frank, "Call your mother later and tell her what happened at home and ask her to come back."
"I know, Dad." Frank replied.
Hearing their words, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Eric's mouth. If he called Jade back at
this time, she could do nothing. What she could do was probably to make things worse.
But he didn't say anything. After all, it was Simon's family matter. It was reasonable for Jade to come
back after such a thing happened in his family.
Seeing that they all went upstairs, Eric turned around and walked towards the door. Before he reached
the door, he was stopped by Richard, "Where are you going?"
Eric stopped and turned to look at him. "Dad, you and mom go back to your room to have a rest. I'll go
to the door to see if Hailey is here."
Richard nodded, thinking that he had something else to do.
Eric turned to look at Jarvis and said, "Jarvis, you must be tired today. You can go back to your room
and have a rest. You can stay here for the time being today for the two days. You can go back after the
day."
"Okay." Jarvis nodded in agreement without any objection.
He knew why Eric did this. For Jarvis himself, he was angry, it's house arrest. Of course, he did not
make it clear.
Jarvis didn't care about it. When Wayne had a relapse, he was in the Gu mansion. Without anyone to
testify for him, he was suspected.
In order to prove his innocence, he had to agree to live here.
