Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 368

Eric waited outside the Gu's house for nearly twenty minutes before he saw Ellison's familiar car.

The car stopped in front of Eric. Ellison and Hailey got off almost at the same time. One got off the driver's seat, and the other got off the passenger's seat.

Hailey wore casual clothes. It was not cold or hot. She wore a beige loose sweater and a pair of black trousers, which wrapped her slender and straight long legs very eye-catching, and a pair of black casual shoes with floral prints.

With her soft and straight black hair, she looked so beautiful in this dress.

The two of them were on a date, but Eric called them, so they had to come. Therefore, at this moment, Ellison's face was very unhappy.

"What happened? Why did you ask Hailey to come in such a hurry?"

Eric knew that he was in a bad mood. It was strange that he could be in a good mood if he was interrupted, but he had no choice.

He looked at him with his deep eyes and said, "My grandfather passed away."

"What?" Ellison and Hailey widened their eyes at the same time, their faces full of disbelief.

Soon, Hailey reacted, "No wonder you said it was a matter of life and death on the phone."

No matter how unhappy Ellison was, he couldn't show it at the moment. He reached out and patted on Eric's shoulder, comforting him silently.

"You want me to help you investigate the cause of your grandfather's death?" Hailey asked.

Eric nodded, "Come with me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked forward. Ellison and Hailey looked at each other and followed him.

Eric didn't take them to the front door, but through the back door.

Now Simon and Frank were still there, worrying that they would see it. According to what Jarvis said in the hospital, they sent Wayne to the hospital, so they were at home at that time and were also suspected.

After entering the back garden from the back door, Eric led them straight to the steps where Jarvis found Wayne.

"He found my grandfather here." He pointed at that place and said to Hailey.

"Okay." Hailey nodded. At this moment, she seemed to have entered the mode of investigation. She frowned slightly, with a serious expression on her face, and observed the ground with her eyes.

Ellison seemed to have noticed something wrong. "Do you suspect that your grandfather's death is not a coincidence?"

Eric nodded, with cruelty in his black eyes, "Grandpa has a heart disease. He had a heart attack some time ago, but it was only when he was stimulated. Today in the hospital, the doctor said that grandpa wouldn't have a heart attack if he was not stimulated, so I suspect that someone deliberately provoked him."

Hearing what he said, Ellison also frowned. Although it had nothing to do with him, he naturally felt that it had something to do with himself since he was associated with Eric.

Hailey bent down and walked around the place where the accident happened. She roughly observed the ground with the naked eye. Then she stood straight, pointed at the winter tree and said, "The dead fell here. I guess he wanted to climb back to his room for help, but he lost his strength when he climbed to the stairs."

"Yes." Eric answered calmly, "I have seen it before."

"I can't find any other clue here except this," Hailey frowned and continued, "The scene is too simple. Except for the crawling traces of the dead, there are no other traces."

"You mean we can't find out the real murderer?" Eric's face darkened.

Hailey glanced at him and smiled, "Don't worry. Let's first check the place where the dead went today, and then we will go to see the corpse. There may be unexpected discovery on the corpse."

Pursing his lips and looking at the ground, Ellison, who was thinking about something, suddenly raised his head and said, "Dear, we can find some clues from the footprints on the ground. We should be able to find out who grandpa saw before he died, and this person is the murder."

Hailey rolled her eyes at him, "I'm right to call you idiot. There are so many footprints here. Do you think it will be useful to collect them? Besides, someone came here to send the dead to the hospital before. It's meaningless to kick the footprints out here."

"Maybe we can find the footprints of strangers." Ellison added.

Hailey glanced at him and then looked at Eric, "Do you have monitors in your house?"

Eric nodded, "But we can only monitor the outside, but not the inside."

"Then check the surveillance video first." Hailey said, "Let's go to see if there are strangers or other people you know who came to your house during the period when the victim was sick."

"Okay, come with me." Eric turned around and led the way for them.

It was Ellison's words that reminded Hailey of this. Through the surveillance video, she checked the situation first. If there was an outsider, it meant that this person was highly suspicious; if there was no outsider, it meant that this suspect was a member of his family.

The main monitor was in the study. After Eric took them to the study, he opened the monitor screen, which was the time he left with Richard and Angela in the morning.
