Chapter 89 The Invisible Murderer
Countess Bell's right hand was broken in a car accident, so she went to the villa in the village to recuperate.But on Friday, she was murdered.It is said that she was sitting in the yard reading a book at that time. Someone wrapped a thin rope around her neck from behind her and strangled her to death. The murder weapon was nowhere to be found. Obviously, the murderer took the murder weapon away.

The site environment is muddy and slippery.The chair the countess was sitting on was about five or six feet away from the platform. If the murderer killed someone, he had to be close to the countess's back to strangle her neck. Normally, the murderer's footprints should be left, but only It is strange that every step of the countess, from the platform to the chair, should not have been that of the murderer.

So, how did the murderer use something like a rope to strangle the Countess to death without getting close to her?

[Answer] As long as the murderer is a good user of the long whip, he can strangle people to death with the long whip five or six feet away from the platform.
