At least, by normal rationale they would.
That is what I thought at the time.
If George Joestar were sent to the next life in such a way, the first one to
be under suspicion would be the one who had been studying that stone mask.---
As well as the "only" one that knew of the stone mask's mechanism, the man's
son, Jonathan Joestar.
If Jonathan fell under suspicion, and a case was built against him, he
would of course lose his inheritance rights to the family fortune. And then, as the
only son left, I would inherit everything.--- No, then I would have succeeded in
my plan to "take" it.
With this outline of events that seemed to be quite effective at first
glance, at a point I was nearly convinced of using this idea. But the more I
advanced in my thinking, I couldn't help but notice a large fault in this plan.
If the heir, Jonathan Joestar, would be killing the head of the family at
the time, George Joestar, and he used a lethal weapon to kill him systematically,
it is clear as day that the family name would suffer.
The family's work as traders would surely have been lost.
It wasn't only the Joestar family fortune I wanted--- it was also their
honor and renown. At the very least, I did not intend to inherit a family name
with a bad reputation.
Therefore, I abandoned this plan and decided to have George Joestar die
by poison after all.--- At the time, I figured the method I had most experience
with would be best. I had thought something along the lines of having Jonathan
meet with some accident after the excitement had cooled down.
But perhaps I really should have gone with the original plan......?
Even if it wasn't for that letter, maybe it was a bit short-sighted to be
killing my adoptive father with the same method as I used with my biological
father?
No, that's not right.
