Chapter 82 The Maid’s Clue

[Ad’s P.O.V.)

I arrived at Christie’s place, which was not far from the castle, with a few guards. There was already a gathering of some pack members and they seem to be in discussion. I immediately asked Dylan to lead his men to evacuate the others and seal off the scene. Dr. Baldwin had received my orders and was already at the scene.

When we entered the place, I saw Christie’s body lying next to the sofa. Her lower half was naked and stained with blood. Her underwear had been pulled down to her calves and there was some vomit on her face.

Dr. Baldwin crouched down to examine her body more closely. I continued to look around and noticed that there was blood on one of her hands.

When I looked at her finger, I felt my heart begin to beat violently.

Next to Christie’s hand were several letters written in English.

1.O. S.

The last letter was unfinished but it looked like an E.

Rose.

Her name was written in blood.

I forced myself to calm down. Then I immediately pulled a tissue from the table and covered the small line of words on the ground.

“Gamma, according to the condition of the body, Christie’s time of death should have been some time in the afternoon. The cause of death could be poisoning.” “Poisoning?” “Yes, but it’s only my initial guess. I need to extract her blood and some other samples from her body. If I don’t find anything, I might need to dissect the body.”

“Then do it quickly.” I was a little upset. Why did this happen when I was the only one around? As far as I could remember, nothing like this had ever happened to Sunset Pack. Moreover, this might be related to Luna.

“Find everyone who has entered this room.” I ordered Dylan as soon as I stepped out of Christie’s place.

Soon, Simon and another Omega servant, Ken, were led to me.

“Tell me, what do you know?”

“Gamma, after you first called me today, I asked Ken to find Christie because I couldn’t get through to her. Ken was the first person to find her before he told me.”

I glanced at Ken. He was obviously scared out of his wits. His legs were still shaking.

“I just asked you a question. Tell me what you?saw.”

“She was already dead when I found her! I didn’t do it!” Ken was practically wailing. F*ck. I was a little speechless. I had always preferred to communicate efficiently, so I definitely couldn’t speak with the current Ken.

“Gamma, we saw the letters near her hand, she seemed to have written what looked like R, O, S, and E. I thought it might have something to do with Luna, which was why I immediately reported it to you.”

“You said you thought her death had something to do with who?”

“Uh.. with.. just pretend I didn’t say anything.” “That’s right. If I hear any one of you say something you shouldn’t have, I’ll tear that mouth apart.”

I couldn’t care less that Simon was an elder. I admitted that my words were a little too much, but I knew how quickly and easily the servants would gossip too.

Though there was no other ‘Rose’ in our pack, it was still possible that Christie was referring to someone or something else and just didn’t have enough time or life left in her to complete the word. I had to nip this problem in the bud before things get out of hand. I couldn’t risk letting the uncertainty fester and cause panic.

Dr. Baldwin came out of the room eventually and told me that he had finished collecting his observations and samples. He returned to the group infirmary immediately and hoped to report the results by tomorrow.

I ordered Dylan to keep an eye on the place, informing him that no one was allowed in. Then, I asked the guards to pack as much ice as possible to cool the body and the room without destroying the scene. Finally, I returned to the castle. I had initially planned to go straight to my room and wait for news. However, when the elevator had reached the fourth floor, I decided to go up another floor.

When Luna opened the door to her room and saw that it was me, she was a little surprised.

“Ad, what brings you here so late at night?”

“Luna, may I enter? I need to talk to you?”

“Yes, come in.”

We went to the seating area of her room. I was a little embarrassed because I didn’t know how to start the conversation. However, I had to ask.

“Luna, forgive me for being presumptuous, but where were you this afternoon?”

“Afternoon? Jane had invited me over to her room for afternoon tea and we talked for a while.”

“And after that?”

“I went to the library to read. Why do you

ask?”

“Do you know the maid Christie?”

“Yes, I met her last night.”

“She’s dead.”

“Say that again?”

“Christie is dead. She died at her place. And before she died, it looked like she used blood to write a message.”

“What message?”

I tried to make my words less explicit, but I had to report the truth to the pack’s Luna.

“If she had finished writing, I think the word would have read ‘ROSE’.”
