"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.
