Chapter 1528: Chapter 1528: Puzzled
Gene’s hair color is deeper than those two brothers, he has a short, neat beard and wears glasses, which makes him appear less arrogant and less perverted.
As for age, Cherry always found the age of foreign men mysterious, he looks like he could be in his thirties, or in his twenties, and saying he’s forty... doesn’t seem impossible either.
The man’s face was pale, his lips tightly pressed, sitting on the sofa opposite, speaking through a translator—
"This morning, we found Stan Edward dead in his own bed, murdered in his bedroom just like his younger brother, a fatal stab wound to the chest, but no one was seen entering or leaving the room last night. On this ship, to be able to kill two people successively without a trace, it seems only an evil god could do it."
Cherry immediately laughed, crossing her legs, "If I wanted to commit murder, would I need a knife? Hey, do you all have no brains?"
Gene, sitting on the sofa, was furious and roared at Cherry!
Cherry, angered, pointed at him and asked Gavin Graves next to her, "Is he cursing at me?!!"
Gavin Graves stared at the man across from him, retorting bluntly with a few words.
Cherry paused, then asked, "Are you helping me swear at him?"
"It’s nothing." Gavin Graves gently patted her hand, soothing her emotions, "I was just reminding him, instead of suspecting you, he should think about who the Stan brothers had grudges with."
Gene watched the two with cold eyes, having the translator convey his words, "As per the agreement, the evil god should fulfill one request for me, now please tell me, who is the murderer!"
"I am an evil god, not a detective!" Cherry’s attitude was even worse than his, "As per the agreement, if you make a request that the evil god cannot accomplish, it will be considered a forfeit! Good, now you have forfeited, please leave here!"
The other party was enraged, got up, and shouted, "You are the accomplice!"
Cherry also stood up sharply, and in an instant, the room’s temperature plummeted! Black fog gathered, one by one forming into human shapes, without faces, without voices, ghostly figures silently occupied the entire room.
Cherry’s pupils were like a brewing storm, her voice extremely cold and stern, "I’ve said it before, when I kill, I don’t need a knife, if you’re not clear enough, open your eyes wide, and watch closely!"
Without any visible movement, those ghostly figures seized several bodyguards.
Some had their throats choked, tongues stretched out, growing longer and longer; others had their eyes gouged out, eyeballs bulging, with blood flowing endlessly. They were all in agony, veins bulging on their foreheads, bodies trembling violently, yet unable to utter any cries, as if they were mute.
Gene saw this scene, his face turned ghastly pale, and he fled the room in a panic, almost stumbling in his haste!
Cherry sneered, withdrew her hand, and the ghostly apparitions in the room dispersed like mist, the bodyguards Gene brought also fled completely.
"I don’t see him living long either." Cherry snorted coldly.
Gavin Graves looked toward the door, thinking for a moment, and said to Cherry, "This incident is indeed bizarre, when the event occurred last night, not only were Stan’s people watching, but Alexander Summers’ people were also watching. No one came out of that room; the killer couldn’t have just vanished into thin air. Cherry, do you have any way to track down clues?"
Cherry furrowed her brows, looking troubled, "I do know something, but I can’t say it out loud."
Gavin Graves was slightly stunned, "Why can’t you say it?"
"I can’t say it, I must have my reasons." Cherry replied, "Trust me, I won’t hurt you, once that Gene is dead, things will end."
Gavin Graves looked at her in surprise.
From her tone, it seemed she was quite certain Gene would meet the same untimely fate as the Stan brothers.
Gavin Graves believed Cherry didn’t commit the murder, she had no motive for killing, but why was she protecting the murderer?
He often had to deal with various figures, reading people was part of the basic job, but to read Cherry?
He was genuinely perplexed.
Cherry, seeing he was silent, pouted, "Hmph! Do you not believe me again?"
Gavin Graves, with a complex feeling, held her in his embrace, "I believe."
I am just perplexed, that’s all.
