Victor found what he had made disgusting and runs away then later returns to kill him but finds that he has disappeared. He then returns to Geneva where his family lives, then the creature arranges a meeting for him and Victor, then the plot shifts to the creature's point of view telling Victor where he is trying to adapt to his environment. The creature travels for several days and eventually joins a family of cottagers. He hides in a hangar and monitors their lives. He watched how they were going, he listened to their conversations and he also helped them during the night because he saw how much it bothered them.

In short, the creature is the real murderer because he killed the people with his own hands, all because he didn't get what he wanted and he was angry..
