After rebirth, the system helped me debut as the center

After investigation, the suspects were identified one by one.

Madam, status: wife of Duke T;

Rose, identity: the only daughter of Duke T;

Poet, identity: close friend of Duke T;

Butler, identity: Butler of Duke T's family;

Yisheng, identity: Duke T’s family doctor.

Inspector He was a guest of the Duke's birthday party. Because it was dark and the journey back was long, the Duke urged him to stay in the castle's guest room for a night and prepare to leave early the next morning.

When he was leaving after breakfast under the warm hospitality of the butler, Butler Zhang said, "Inspector He, you are the Duke's guest of honor. If the Duke knew that we let you leave like this, he would definitely blame us for not entertaining you well enough."

As he spoke, Butler Zhang looked upstairs and continued, "How about this, Inspector He, please move to the reception room and take a rest. I will go and report to the Duke, and you can say goodbye to him in person, okay?"

Inspector He thought that it would be impolite to leave without saying hello to the host, so he agreed to Butler Zhang's suggestion and went to the reception room to wait.

However, just a few minutes later, Butler Zhang shouted, "Hurry up, something's wrong! The Duke, the Duke is in trouble!"

Hearing Butler Zhang's loud shouts, Inspector He immediately felt something was wrong. He quickly stood up and walked towards the direction where Butler Zhang's shouts came from.

When Inspector He arrived at the scene, he saw the Duke hanging from the beam of the bedroom with his hands and feet hanging naturally. Butler Zhang was standing on a stool, struggling to move the Duke down from the rope.

Inspector He frowned and stepped forward to feel the Duke's neck, but could no longer feel a pulse.

I touched the Duke's limbs again, but there was no residual warmth. His body was already a little stiff, and it was obvious that he had lost vital signs for some time.

Inspector He reached out to stop Butler Zhang from performing CPR on Duke T. At this moment, such an action would only cause secondary damage to Duke T's body and would have no effect.

At this moment, other people in the villa also came over one after another.

Mrs. Ou came hurriedly. She was wearing a long skirt with some mud on the hem. She looked like she had run from far away. Her face was flushed and she was a little out of breath.

After she arrived at the Duke's bedroom, she immediately asked Butler Zhang, "The servant just told me that something happened to the Duke. What happened?"

Butler Zhang looked somewhat reluctant and motioned Madam Ou to look at the ground.

When Madam Ou saw Duke T lying on the ground with a livid face, she rushed over and cried, "Why is the Duke here?"

When she touched the Duke's cold body, she was stunned for a moment as if she couldn't believe it, and then she cried heartbrokenly.

"What are you making noise for, so early in the morning?" Ning Meigui was wearing pajamas and slippers. She seemed to be still sleepy. She walked in with unsteady steps and an impatient look on her face.

Butler Zhang quickly stepped forward to support her and said, "Miss, the Duke, the Duke, he, he passed away."

Ning Meigui's brows gradually furrowed. She pushed away Butler Zhang who was supporting her, strode forward, and pulled away Madam Ou who was lying on the Duke and crying loudly. She checked the Duke T's breath and pulse in disbelief, but found no signs of life.

Her face turned pale, and she glared at Mrs. Ou who was sobbing quietly beside her. "I knew that since you, the unlucky star, came into our family, nothing good has happened."

Mrs. Ou shrank back, as if she was a little afraid of Ning Meigui.

At this moment, Duke T's best friend, Poet Sa, and Duke T's family doctor, Doctor Da, also arrived one after another.

The doctor took out the medicine box in his hand, checked it briefly, and then shook his head to everyone present, indicating that there was no hope of saving the patient.

Inspector He took a deep breath, pulled out his notebook and ID from his pocket, and said, "Everyone, I am a guest who attended the Duke's birthday banquet yesterday. I am a well-known detective. Before yesterday, I was not familiar with you, including the Duke.

Because the Duke's castle is located in a remote area, it will take some time for the official detective to arrive, so I will be the detective first to find the real murderer of the Duke."

As he spoke, Inspector He carefully observed the expressions of the people in front of him and asked, "Can you all cooperate with me to complete the investigation?"

Butler Zhang seemed a little puzzled and asked, "Inspector, when I arrived, our Duke was hanging from the beam, and there was a kicked-over chair under his feet. Isn't this suicide?"

The others also looked at Inspector He with different expressions.

Inspector He looked at the people in front of him, some with tears in their eyes, some with frowns on their faces, and shook his head solemnly, saying, "A normal person who hangs himself to death will definitely struggle out of life instinct. But I just checked Duke T's body, and there is no sign of natural struggle. So! Duke T's death is definitely not as simple as suicide by hanging."

As he spoke, he looked at Butler Zhang and said, "Butler, please help me make a preliminary check on the other people in the castle to see if there are any suspicious people who are not here."

Hearing this, Butler Zhang nodded and hurried to count the other people in the castle.

Inspector He looked at the others and said, "Everyone, please follow me to the lobby to chat."

In the hall, everyone took their seats one by one.

Butler Zhang has also completed the investigation. According to the Duke's request, the servants act in pairs. The guests who attended the banquet yesterday, except for Detective He and the Duke's friend, Poet Sa, have all left the castle last night.

Therefore, those who were suspected of killing the Duke were already sitting in the hall.

Inspector He nodded in understanding, looked at everyone, and said, "Then please briefly introduce yourself to this guest from afar."

Poet Sa was the first to speak up. "I'll go first. I'm Poet Sa. As the name suggests, I'm a poet and a good friend of Duke T."

Ning Meigui sneered, "What good friend? He's just a freeloader. He takes advantage of my father's kindness and comes to ask for money whenever he wants. He's really shameless."

Poet Sa didn't get angry when he heard this. He stood up with a grin and said, "Miss Rose is right. That's why Inspector He must be vigilant. How could someone like me who eats and drinks for free at Duke T kill the Duke? Well, I have a poetry meeting to attend. How about you guys chat slowly? I'll leave first?"

Inspector He glared at him unhappily and pushed him back into the chair. "Sit down, I think you are the most suspicious. If you continue to be so dishonest, I will vote for you first."

The poet sat up straight in an instant, looking righteous, as if nothing had happened just now.
