"Oh. Later I saw Mr. Warner climb over the railing and jump into the river." Rex bowed his body and asked cautiously.
"That's right. So, what happened after I jumped into the river then?" Luther pursued with a gaze.
He jumped into the river. Originally, he thought he would be safe this way, but he did not expect Martha drugged him that night. Because of the effect of the drugs, he began to lose consciousness right after he jumped into the river.
"Mr. Warner, I was too timid even to just take a look. At that time I just peeked a few glances, and I saw three men chasing you. One of them with a gun was shooting into the water. But it seemed that the shot did not succeed, and then I heard a 'whoosh whoosh' sound a few times, and did not see what was going on, and then all the three criminals fell to the ground screaming. Finally they just picked up the gun dropped on the ground, and hurriedly fled." Rex recalled, "I'm sorry, Mr. Warner, I really didn't see clearly at that time, why they suddenly fled, and how they got injured."
"It should be a boomerang dart, the sharp edge cut their necks. Although it did not kill them, if the bleeding was not stopped in time, they would definitely die. So they had to leave immediately." Aaron said.
"Oh. No wonder they all suddenly fled." Rex came to a sudden realization.
"What happened after that? Did you see who threw the dart?" Luther stood up with a few hints of anticipation in his thick, magnetic voice.
"No, I've never seen what a boomerang dart looks like. I was afraid to look out at the time, sorry, maybe I didn't see it." Rex looked apologetic. It seemed Mr. Warner's intention was to find the rescuer. If he had seen it, Mr. Warner would have rewarded him with more money, what a pity.
Luther looked disappointed and sat back in his chair with a "tumble".
The answer did not give him any news, and he still didn’t know if Joyce used the boomerang to save him or not.
Rex peeked up and looked at Luther. He thought for a while, and suddenly said, "It might have been a woman, I'm not sure."
