Investigation part 2

Hector decided that he would first talk with Samuel.

"What an interesting turn of events is it not," Hector spoke as he sat down on the chair close to Samuel.

"Hah... Yes, it is." Samuel chuckled and said. Hector did not miss his enjoyment of the situation.

"I see that you are quite happy at his death, if it was someone other than me then you could be suspect of murder mister Samuel," Hector said genuinely, and as Arthur wasn't a good man he had no problem with him being murdered even if it was in his home. Only the investigation will be an unfortunate turn of events.

"You see I have heard about some unkind practices of our dear Arthur."

"It is not my place to speak ill about the dead." He spoke trying to look professional but Hector could see the facade cracking.

"Oh... If not you then who? It is indeed rude to gossip behind people's backs. But after their deaths? See it as remembering those who are no longer with us."

"It may be so but he was my employer and gentleman," Samuel spoke while gritting his teeth.

"Realy? A Gentleman? Please, don't make me laugh. I have heard about certain advances he may try on your loved ones." He could not stop himself from chuckling.

"You see some people could come to the conclusion that you could have something to do with this... unfortunate turn of events."

He saw Butler's face twisted in contempt "Bastard deserved to die but it wasn't me, and if it was me then he would suffer much more."

Hector then looked at his face closer and spoke "You know. When others speak about what they would do to others they often exaggerate, but when I look into your eyes I see that you speak the truth. There I see hatred and disappointment. Is it because you could not do it yourself?

"You know what? I like you, hopefully, you will be alright." He smiled as he spoke. Hector then stood up and left Samuel alone.

His interest in the killer wasn't to bring him to justice but to simply satisfy his curiosity, so he wasn't interested to play a game of secrets. Speaking bluntly was much easier. Of course, he couldn't just ask them if they are murderers, as that would make them more guarded.

When he started to look for another person to talk to he saw Mary entering the room.

"How are you, Mrs. Mary? It must have been a harrowing experience." He spoke trying to sound friendly.

"Yes... I... It was the first time I saw such a gruesome scene." She spoke still shaking and he could see that her makeup was smudged around her eyes.

"You cared for Arthur, didn't you? He was there when your husband was gone fighting in battles for our nation. And remained home waiting for him. You are a strong and loyal wife." Hector spoke trying to get any reaction.

After he finished speaking he saw as her eyes watered and even traces of shame started to appear. But what made him surprised most was that she started to rub her stomach. She was pregnant but as it was early it wasn't that visible.

'You got to be kidding me. Oh, lady that's cold.' He thought after realization.

"Th... Thank you." She spoke barely whispering.

Hector excused himself as he hurriedly looked for Henry

When he found him he gave him his condolences for his friend, but when he spoke he saw Henry's eyes burning with hatred for Arthur.

'He knows about his wife and Arthur.'

Hector congratulated Henry about his wife being pregnant, as he wanted to see how he will react.

As he predicted Henry was not pleased. Hector could even see veins popping from the anger.

When he saw his reaction he took Henry to the corner of the room and became much more blunt.

"So you know about your wife's infidelity with Arthur?" When he spoke he could see that Henry visibly shifted his posture.

"Was it so clear?" He spoke in a self-deprecating tone.

"Do you know how it felt? To come home from war only to find out that your wife is cheating on you with your best friend?" Henry's tone was becoming sharper with every second.

"I wanted to kill him so much, but I didn't. When I went to confront him he wasn't home and so I met his wife with whom I started to talk. She already knew, and so together we started to plan. She would divorce him and use evidence that we would gather to use at the court and then destroy his image.

"Why would I simply kill him when He could lose everything that he has, and I could see him suffer for years to come?

"And truth to be told after I and Martha started to talk we found out that we have much in common." In the end, Hector could even see him smile.

"Ah, I see you started to be more intimate with his wife in return," Hector spoke amused. "What about the child?"

"He is not my son let Mary deal with him," Henry spoke coldly.

After a few more words Hector stopped their conversation as he believed he too wasn't a killer. And from what he heard not even Martha was a killer. But still, he was interested in her story so he looked for her.

"So here is the deal. I already spoke with Henry and I know about you and him, and I also know that you or he are innocent. So let's get to the juicy part of the ordeal."

She was understandingly stunned but after a few more words she spoke about the whole ordeal. But as he already heard the story from Henry what he got was the same thing but with few colorful words.

"...and recently I found out that I'm pregnant."

Hector started to laugh so strongly that he nearly lost his breath. After calming himself down he continued with the conversation.

"Ah... it is indeed a pity that he died" Hector was amused at the whole ordeal.

After that he finished talking with her he knew for sure that she wasn't a killer. His death actually stopped her from getting her own revenge.

Frank was the last person to talk to and form conversations from before he should be a killer. But he wasn't going to judge it before talking to him.

But before he went to him he talked to Albert.

"Police already questioned everyone present and they will be sending a specialist to look at the scene, sir."

'So they are sending beyonder...' Hector thought and hurriedly went to his room and collected all of his stuff that connected him with his previous activities and stored them in a safe. As the safe was built from metal it should keep spirituality from leaking out, he knew they wouldn't go to every room in the house but still he wanted to be sure.

While others couldn't exactly leave from police sight he wasn't suspect and the ball was still going on he could leave without anyone asking questions.

When he returned he decided to talk to Frank before any beyonder would come and stop his fun.

"Tell me, did you kill Arthur? Mary, Samuel, Henry, and Martha are innocent so it should be you. And so you know I'm aware of Arthur trying to get rid of you."
