The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1756

“Look, I didn’t even leave the house! How could I have killed him?” explained Gerald.

While that was the truth, he knew the villagers weren’t going to buy it so easily. With that in mind, the best way to clear things out would be by investigating how Fane truly died.

Still, Fane’s death certainly explained why he and his gang hadn’t caused Gerald and his party any trouble the previous night.

Though Fane was definitely a villainous character that deserved retribution sooner or later, Gerald had to admit that his death was a bit too untimely.

Whatever the case was, Gerald then added, “…Look, before we start pointing fingers, let’s just get the corpse up first to see how he really died!”

Hearing that, the villagers couldn’t argue with Gerald’s logic, so they began tugging his corpse up.

The second the fat corpse was out in the open, everyone saw that his face had been completely ruined. With how badly his face had been clawed up, Fane barely had any notable facial features left.

Squatting down to get a closer look at Fane’s corpse, Gerald eventually found a deep gash in Fane’s neck. With that in mind, Gerald deduced that he had died from blood loss.

Once he got back to his feet, Gerald then turned to look at the villagers before displaying his hands while saying, “From what I can see, whatever killed Fane had sharp claws. I mean, just take a good look at his mangled face! There’s a deep gash in his neck too that could’ve only been inflicted by extremely sharp claws! With that in mind, I couldn’t have been the killer!”

Realizing that Gerald’s statement made sense, the villagers quickly accepted that he wasn’t the killer. However, if that was the case, then who was the murderer? What happened the previous night? Also, why weren’t Fane’s subordinates with him? All these were still mysteries…

All of a sudden, everyone suddenly heard a young voice shouting, “S-something terrible has happened! D-dead bodies!”
