“…All of them were killed…?” Crowley ventured, and Ferid only shrugged his shoulders with a look that said “what else could it be”.
“Yes, probably. So the next question is, how long ago were they killed? Well, we are talking about a mass murder here. If any witnesses had been left, or any visitors with an appointment had come here before us, we would have found some kind of an uproar, no doubt. But we have not. That is, not that much time has passed yet since the massacre, and we have discovered it first. Still, it does not mean that the murder took place a short while ago. This much is clear from the corpses. The victims had their backs cut up, yet there is no trace of blood on the ground. Why, do you think? Because the blood has been washed away by the rain. That is, they had been killed before the rain stopped. And when did the rain stop, Khinueh?” Ferid asked.
“About 3 hours ago, sir,” the driver answered.
“I see. Then, seeing that all the blood has been completely washed away, I would say they were killed about 6 hours ago.”
“That is, late at night yesterday’s night?” Crowley verified.
“Yes. Generally speaking, one would not go attacking a community of 40 people in the broad daylight after all. Alright then, I’m done. Now, you should see for yourself that we will not catch the culprit even if we rush, so let us take a nice sleep during the day and investigate ni~ce and slo~w afterwards?” Ferid didn’t give up.
